1. 11w6d 2. Better each week though I'm still queasy a lot. I seem to have left the violent vomiting stage which is nice. 3. Getting ready to go in for my NT scan this morning. Need to stop for my lucky breakfast first! 4. I miss beer. I love beer in the summer. Also I miss STTN without pee breaks.
1. 34w2d 2. Like I'm getting kicked in the crotch from the outside. Ugh, rolling over in bed is sooo painful. 3. No, I just went to the doctor on Wednesday. 4. HARD LIQUOR. What I wouldn't give for an icy cold margarita with salt right now.

1. How far along are you? 26 weeks 2. How are you feeling? Overall, pretty good 3. Any milestones/appointments? Appt on Monday for general check up 4. What's the one thing you miss most about not being pregnant? Having complete control over my body!!!! Especially following last night's issue!
25 weeks Great - my belly has really popped and is getting big and I think he's shifted positions a bit in there so now he's laying on something in such a way that it makes me tired (I can feel a difference between this week and last week) and a bit light headed but overall I'm feeling really good.
My GD appt is in a few weeks so hopefully I pass that.
I missed this stage of pregnancy after DS. When you feel pretty good, you feel cute and pregnant but you're not huge yet, no swelling etc. Last time it all went downhill after week 30 or 32 lol
1. 36 weeks. 2. Same - tired. Pregnancy insomnia is at it's worst. 3. Full term next week! Weekly appt - still closely monitoring the blood pressure. 4. Improved mobility and energy. I feel short of breath with any exertion lately. I want to be able to run and play with my toddler again!
1. 39 weeks, 2 days. 2. Like crap. Been crampy all week and having sporadic contractions for about a day & 1/2, but I do not seem to actually be in labor. 3. I am about a week more pregnant now than I have ever been (I had DD at 38w, 3d). Oh, and I've managed to gain about 20% less weight this pregnancy overall, even with the added week. 4. I miss not-pregnant sex. It was way... sexier.

1. 36 weeks 2. I'm still feeling pretty great with limited swelling 3. I had an appointment with the MFM Wednesday and baby is on track to be smaller than DD even though I have GD this time. I had my regular appointment this morning and I'm already dilated to 3 cm. Since I have to be induced at 39 weeks due to the GD, we started talking things to kick start labor sooner today. 4. I miss ice cream and French fries. Damn GD.
1. How far along are you? 17 5/7 weeks, twins. 2. How are you feeling? Good, feeling like a cute pregnant lady, for now anyway. 3. Any milestones/appointments? We had a scan this week and found out it's 2 boys! Crazy. My almost 4 yo DD was not pleased but I think she's gotten over it. 4. What's the one thing you miss most about not being pregnant? Sushi. I'm an abstainer.
1. How far along are you? 4w3d 2. How are you feeling? Okay so far, just super bloated and occasional waves of nausea. 3. Any milestones/appointments? I need to call and make my first appointment. My midwife won't see me until 9 or 10 weeks. 4. What's the one thing you miss most about not being pregnant? Nothing yet, although I can preemptively say beer and red wine.
2. How are you feeling? Pregnancy-wise: absolutely fine. I have had the easiest pregnancy ever (knock on wood). Really the only symptoms I have right now are insomnia, decreased appetite, and difficulty getting comfortable. (I got my hair cut and highlighted yesterday and squirmed for two hours in that awful chair. UGH)
Mentally: not so hot. My immobility is taking a huge toll on me. But you can read all about that on MM.
3. Any milestones/appointments? Boring 38w appointment. Talked about inductions. My doctor's office likes to induce around 41w, so if it comes to that I'll schedule for 8/11. I'm feeling so ambivalent about pregnancy (not about the baby, but I just couldn't care less at this point about a birth plan, etc.) that I'm just sort of "whatever." But I really don't feel like I *have* to have this baby rightthissecond. I could go on like this for weeks. If only I could walk.
4. What's the one thing you miss most about not being pregnant? I think beer. With margaritas a close second.
Even this morning, DH was being cute and complimentary before he was leaving for work and I whispered to the dog when DH was within earshot "and he's not even saying this to try to get in my pants!". We both laughed, b/c it's true.

1. 28w4d 2. Still pretty good, although moving slower and feeling more tired due to increasingly poor sleep. 3. No, my next appointment isn't for a couple weeks. I will be having an ultrasound to check placenta position, though, so I'm looking forward to another peek at DS2. 4. Generally it's wine, but right now I'd pay a lot of money to sleep on my stomach again.

1. 15w4d
2. Decent. I'm not feeling as fatigued as I did a few weeks ago, so that's nice. Nausea is gone though my appetite is still a little weird and meat is pretty unappealing.
3. Not for now - next appointment is 2.5 weeks away, and then I'll schedule the big ultrasound for later in August.
4. I miss sangria - summer isn't quite the same without it!
2. I feel like crap. Not nauseous but every other part of my body above my knees aches, is bloated or feels heavy and tired. I'm really glad I can sleep this weekend.
3. Next appointment is 8/7. Hopefully all goes well. I'm definitely worried because my progesterone was very low, but I had a strong heartbeat at 6 weeks.
4. Mostly I miss turkey sandwiches. It's not the same to go to the trouble of cooking the turkey. I also miss beer, not worrying all.the.time, and generally feeling decent.
2. How are you feeling? I'm feeling pretty good, starting to get tired faster
3. Any milestones/appointments? Next appointment is 8/4 for my 30 week appt
4. What's the one thing you miss most about not being pregnant?
ALCOHOL!!!! Not being able to drink while dealing with a 3 yr old is killing me ( 1 glass of wine is not going to cut it sorry)...so instead I have turned to ice cream :sigh:
1. How far along are you? 20 weeks 2. How are you feeling? Meh. Still vomiting every couple of days and having a hard time when I eat any dinner. 3. Any milestones/appointments? We just had our anatomy scan this morning. It's another boy, which I had always thought he would be. I'm happy but not looking forward to telling the grandparents. 4. What's the one thing you miss most about not being pregnant? All the deli sandwiches and alcohol.
1. 15w4d 2. Pretty good although I've randomly been burping a lot the past few days. I think I'm going to pick up some tums and see if that helps. 3. Waiting on MaterniT21 results but probably won't have them until the end of next week. 4. Not much, but I could definitely go for some sangria on the days it has been super hot.
ETA: just got the call - everything can back "normal" and the elevated down syndrome risk from the NT seems to have been a fluke. It's not 100% accurate because there are 2 but the genetics counselor said we should treat it as very reassuring. And also....no y chromosomes detected, so it looks as if they're 2 girls!

1. 22w4d 2. Feeling pretty good as long as I get enough sleep. I've had some insomnia but mostly have done well so far. 3. DH has for sure felt kicks now, so that's fun for him 4. I too miss beer. And I just saw a recipe for peach sangria popsicles that sounded amazing. Sigh.
1. 34 weeks, 1 day 2. Physically- pretty good. I'm still managing 30 minute walks 4-5x a week. I did a prenatal yoga video instead of a walk one day when it was raining earlier this week, and I was sore for days. I think I'll stick to the walking. 3. I posted yesterday about my baby being breech at my check up. I'm still not 100% on my decision but I feel as though the version procedure is not for me. I'd do it if there was a guarantee, but I'd hate to go through all of that just to have it not work or baby flip back. I'm willing to try some spinning babies exercises and am looking into chiropractic care though. 4. I'm going to have to go with non-pregnant sex too. Surprisingly H and I have been keeping up with our usual frequency, but I hate how limited my mobility is. I feel so unsexy and the positions we're limited to just don't do it for me. I like the intimacy factor though and H isn't bothered whatsoever, so we'll KOKO I guess.

I'm not up on all the tests - does this mean you'll know if it's GG/BB/BG twins?

It'll detect y chromosomes, so if there are none detected it should mean GG, if they are detected it could be either BB or BG - we'd have to wait until the u/s to know for sure

1. 26 weeks 2. Better this week than last. I think I had a growth spurt last week because I gained 4 pounds and felt huge and uncomfortable then this week I gained nothing and feel okay again. 3. None until my 28 week appt. 4. I miss being comfortable.
Helloooooo! Happy Friday! I hope everyone's doing well this week.
1. How far along are you? 2. How are you feeling? 3. Any milestones/appointments? 4. What's the one thing you miss most about not being pregnant?
1. 16 weeks! 2. Pretty good. More tired but the kids have been pretty good about letting me take a cat nap after work 3. I'm starting to feel the little critter move a bit! I have an appt and AFP draw this week, then anatomy scan at 18 wks. DH has been so busy at work recently, but hopefully he can at least make the A/S. 4. Alcohol . I keep seeing sangria and other tasty drinks and wanting one for myself. I've had sips here and there of other people's drinks, but it's just not the same. And I've developed an aversion to nearly all caffeinated drinks but tea . During the other pregnancies I'd have a frozen mocha, iced chai, fountain coke, etc and they were all delicious. Now I need caffeine and they all taste gross.

1. How far along are you? 36 weeks
2. How are you feeling? My hips and back are a bit creaky, the heartburn is terrible, and I can officially no longer clip my toenails. But, that said, I feel so much better at this point this time than I did during my first pregnancy.
3. Any milestones/appointments? I guess the only milestone I'm at now is being upgraded to weekly appointments.
4. What's the one thing you miss most about not being pregnant? Fun sex. I hate pregnant sex once the belly shows up. My lady bits end up sore for hours and none of the available positions do anything for me. I also feel like an unsexy lump. Beer on the deck, at the end of the day, is a close second.
1. 22+5 2. I'm feeling pretty tired this week, hoping my energy levels will go up and it's not a sign of what's to come. 3. Had an u/s and ob apt on Tuesday. Baby boy wouldn't cooperate and show us one side of his brain so I have to have another u/s in 2 weeks. Other then that they seem to be on schedule and are moving a ton which I can now see and feel from the outside! 4. I'm definitely missing booze.
