17 1/2 weeks. Not really. I'm definitely feeling bumps and rolls now. And I think I had BH yesterday but not sure. They felt almost like a spasm(tight then release) but only on one side. Pregnancy is effing weird.
A/S is Jan 18th. Nothing big until then I reckon.
Lincoln - DH vetoed it. Also Charlie for the same reason.
2. I went to a DO yesterday to get adjusted and OMG my tailbone pain is 100x better. I'm so glad my obgyn recommended it. I go back in a week to check things.
3. Audrey and Ava were on our non-family name list.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? I'm 12W5D.
2. News/AWs/vents to share? I told my boss and boss' boss yesterday and they were both really sweet. It was so nerve racking to tell, so I really hope everything is still fine at my next appointment at 14W.
3. QOTW - What is one baby name you love but cannot use? Share it with us in case someone is still searching Cohen. It's a boy name that fits all of our (H's) parameters and we love it but can't use it. It's H's best friend's son's name, so it's just too close. If it were a distant cousin or not close friend we'd have no issue using it.
2. Vents: Wednesday I was asked if I was having twins. Thursday I got to see the look of complete shock from a co-worker when I told her I still had over a month to go. She said her daughter, who is due close to me, isn't NEARLY as big as I am!
I am trying to handle comments like this with grace, but they hurt to hear. They make doubt creep in, making me wonder if I *am* that huge, that something *could* be wrong with the baby, that I will be forced into a c-section because he is too big.
All of those stupidly irrational thoughts that pop into your head when rude people open their mouth. My husband says I need to grow a thicker skin.
3. What is one baby name you love but cannot use: Quinn
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 16 weeks, 4 days, nope
2. News/AWs/vents to share? I had an appointment today and my stomach is very tender. She said I'm super bloated. It may be partly due to my enlarged ovaries. I'm glad I'm not crazy because I've been walking around saying my belly hurts even though it's not in any of my books.
3. QOTW - What is one baby name you love but cannot use? Share it with us in case someone is still searching! Noah. DH and I both love it but it's our cat's name. We gave him the good name!
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 24 weeks 1 day. Baby is now viable!! 2. News/AWs/vents to share? My cervix is still holding up so that's great. Next appointment is in 2 weeks! 3. QOTW - What is one baby name you love but cannot use? Share it with us in case someone is still searching! N/A

3. QOTW - What is one baby name you love but cannot use? Share it with us in case someone is still searching! I can't use anything that starts w/ the letter A - h's brother's kids' names ALL start with that letter. Also Jeff is off the table - i dated WAY TOO MANY Jeffs in college.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 9w 4d. We had our first appointment with my MW and heard the heartbeat yesterday. I thought it might be too early, but there it was. 160!
2. News/AWs/vents to share?We're going to have a dating u/s on Tuesday since never had a PP period. Can't wait! Also DH said he would be open to a home birth. We're going with a birth center that does home births as well. I'm intrigued. We'll have to think about it more.

3. QOTW - What is one baby name you love but cannot use? Share it with us in case someone is still searching! Carys. It rhymes with my last name, dh hates it and I just met a bratty kid with that name. It's been my favorite forever. I still think it would suit dd better than her name.

1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 15.5 weeks, we've "come out" to everyone over the last 2 weeks or so and it feels nice
2. News/AWs/vents to share? I was home in NJ over the weekend and my mom took me shopping for my first maternity clothes...I totally understand now why people wear maternity pants when not pregnant. I don't NEED the clothes yet but will start wearing them soon anyway
3. QOTW - What is one baby name you love but cannot use? Share it with us in case someone is still searching I really have no idea, I'm no help
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 8 weeks today. My What To Expect app says 9 weeks, and that the baby has moved from embryo to fetus, but I think they calculate weeks different.
2. News/AWs/vents to share? Just waiting for my appointment - it's FINALLY less than a week away! I'm a 50/50 mix of excited and terrified. Pretty sure I took another test this morning, just to make sure it was still positive.
3. QOTW - What is one baby name you love but cannot use? Share it with us in case someone is still searching! Charlie. It's my favorite, but we gave it to our dog.
1&2. 9 w 5d - had my first doctor's appointment this week, and was happy to learn she's going to be around for the duration of my pregnancy. She had mentioned she might be going away, but she's not, so yay! I had a good delivery with her last time and she was open to my birth plan last time.
3. I have no ideas on names. None. Good, bad, or otherwise. I'm hoping I get more into it after we get a gender to work with.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 11 weeks today!
2. News/AWs/vents to share? Bloat is ridiculous. I'll embrace the bloat once I tell work but in the meantime hiding it is a pita.
3. QOTW - What is one baby name you love but cannot use? Share it with us in case someone is still searching! Mairin/Maren, Benjamin - friends named their babies this recently
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 28.5 wks
2. News/AWs/vents to share? I'm on day #2 in the hospital with pre-term contractions. The doctor juts came in to confirm that they're not braxton hicks. Still waiting for the fFN protein test at 2pm to get more info. I hope to go home tonight. HOPE!

1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? Almost 40w, so close to being done! My due date is the 7th, I'm convinced that I'll be at least a week overdue.
2. News/AWs/vents to share? We've got as much done as we're going to have done. It feels good to be in a place where I can just chill out and enjoy the last few days.
3. QOTW - What is one baby name you love but cannot use? Share it with us in case someone is still searching! Lucas. I LOVE this name, but DH vetoed it
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week?- 24 weeks- some would say 6 months?
2. News/AWs/vents to share? We scheduled my c-section just in case. (I'm hoping for a VBAC). I have a appointment with the High risk specialist next week. Fingers crossed that I don't really need him.
3. QOTW - What is one baby name you love but cannot use? Share it with us in case someone is still searching!If this was a boy, he would be Lincoln.

1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 13 weeks. Had my NT scan today and it looked GREAT! Waiting on bloodwork, which should be in Mon or Tues.
2. News/AWs/vents to share? It was so great to see LO again, flipping around like crazy! :heart: And amazing to see the progression from 7 weeks to 13 weeks.
3. QOTW - What is one baby name you love but cannot use? Share it with us in case someone is still searching! Alice. I love it, but it doesn't sound good with our last name.

1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 16 weeks. I'm in maternity pants!
2. News/AWs/vents to share? Not baby related, but we are all moved in to our interim house. It's so nice to be paying 50% of the rent we were paying at our old place (*)
3. QOTW - What is one baby name you love but cannot use? Share it with us in case someone is still searching! I like Cassie and Carly for girls but they would be terrible with our last name. H has also already nixed all gender neutral names so Cameron and Taylor are out.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 38w4d
2. News/AWs/vents to share? My blood pressure was high for the first time ever. I had to give 6 (!) vials of blood for them to test and make sure everything's okay. I'll get results this afternoon. 1cm dilated.
3. QOTW - What is one baby name you love but cannot use? Share it with us in case someone is still searching! Danielle- it's my "cousin's" name.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 25w 2d.
2. News/AWs/vents to share? Nothing really major. We're buying a crib tonight and the husband has made excellent headway painting the nursery and moving around 3 rooms in the house to accomodate what I want.
3. QOTW - What is one baby name you love but cannot use? Share it with us in case someone is still searching! Charlotte with the nn Charlie - it's too close to the name of an aunt that would for sure run around telling people I named the baby after her. In reality, that would never happen a gajillion years.
