Weekly check-in!

[picksthemusic]

Hi ladies! How is everyone doing/feeling? Anything exciting going on this week?

I'm 10w5d today, and while I thought I had my NT scan this week, DH informed me that no, it's next week. Oh well. Other than that, we've had to temporarily vacate our living quarters (we're living with B/SIL right now until we find our own home) since they found black mold under the flooring in the family room that was from a leaky fridge. So, now we're in a hotel for the week. Whee! Yeah, not so much. It feels weird being in a hotel and having to go to work.

Have a great week!

Ugh I would hate living in a hotel!

I'm 25.5 weeks. Just prepped all my cloth diapers. Waiting on my husband to drill some holes in the baby's dresser so I can install the new knobs and put all the diapers away. Exciting!

100 days until my due date

I'm 30 weeks tomorrow.

I had my baby shower on saturday and had a blast, pictures may come next week when I get copies. We have a 3D/4D ultrasound on friday which I am looking forward to and I also scheduled a prenatal massage on friday! I need to start washing clothes and prepping our cloth diaper stash this week too.

I'm 7w5d today. Nausea is a bit rough today -- I could only eat half of my freaking DELICIOUS burrito, which made me uber sad. The 3:00 exhaustion train is ahead of schedule. I'm still mostly just thrilled to be pregnant and a little anxious that things are going wrong in there.

My parents are stupidly excited, which is really fun to watch but OMG a little overwhelming. My mom already put a deposit on a venue for my shower. Please note that I am not yet eight weeks!!! I'm not superstitious about this stuff, but doing something that requires money you can't get back this early seems scary. The only weekend that really works for us is Memorial Day weekend, though, and she's paranoid places will book up quickly.

I'll see the little blueberry again 3 weeks from yesterday. I'll be 10w4 days, which is I think just a smidge too early for an NT scan, so I'm thinking I'll have to have another appointment fairly soon after. A-ok by me.

We lived in a hotel once, between home purchases, and it was AWESOME! Free maid service, gym, pool, hot tub, fresh baked cookies, happy hours. It was also in the middle of winter and I think I kept the thermostat around 80 degrees. I'd love to live in a hotel permanently.

8w4d. I was discharged from the RE on Friday, which was awesome and sad. I do still have another 2 weeks of meds though.

Right now, I'm feeling nauseous for most of the day. My diet basically consists of McDonalds, cereal, crackers, pop tarts, and mini donuts. It's embarrassing, really, but that's the way it goes.

14w6d. Feeling generally good, except for two things: the skin behind my knees has gotten really sweaty since around 6wks, and I have to eat all bran cereals everyday to keep regular. For the knees I've resorted to putting baby powder on right before bed, otherwise they get really clammy. Nobody I've talked to has heard of this side effect of pregnancy. I'm also really sick of bran cereal--hate the texture and taste with the fire of 1000 suns. I've rebeled a few times and skipped a day here and there, but always ended regretting it.

I had my first OB appointment today. NT scan in 2-4 weeks depending on when I can get an appointment.

I have a complete aversion to meat except chicken. I want potatoes at every meal.

DH brought me home GS cookies and I am so happy!!!!!

I am 12 weeks today! I've had 2 ultrasounds so far and everything is right on track. I was having severe abdominal pain on MLK day so DH took me to the ER. They did another ultrasound in the hospital. Turns out to be a UTI and I was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum. I haven't been able to keep anything down, and I'm vomiting like 5 to 6 times a day. Meds don't do anything to help me either. I am trying to switch doctors to a big hospital in the area and I'm waiting on a call back to schedule something.

Sorry that was a few random sentences of information. I haven't been up this late in a few weeks and it is only 9:40!

24 weeks and viability tomorrow. This is a big milestone I've been waiting for.

I'm 17w4d. I just finished the last of my genetic testing and my one hour glucose test and they both came back normal. I had obstetric cholestasis with my first pregnancy and I failed my liver test. I just did some more testing, so I have to wait on those results.

I think I might finally be getting some of my energy back. I was starting to consider hibernating for the rest of the winter.

Look at me, coming in days late.

I am 30w3d today. We had an appointment with a new doctor on Tuesday this week and I think we've officially made the switch. He wants to see me twice a week from now on for BPPs and NSTs. The babies actually looked awesome at the scan his office did, but they still want to monitor carefully for ongoing growth. He said he won't let me go beyond 37w, and after 34w won't hesitate to deliver if there are any signs of anything concerning... so I'll have babies in less than 2 months.

Shower last weekend was lots of fun. It was small, but several people were far more generous than we expected them to be. Now we have lots of shopping to finish up though!

We also bought a car and toured a daycare that I think we're going to use. Daycare is stressing me out. I still can't believe I'm actually talking about daycare - for my own kids.

There's a blog I've been reading for like 5 years of a mom who went through infertility and then had identical twins. I was trying to find her kids' birth weights this morning and ended up reading back through a ton of her early posts about infertility and being pregnant and fearing for her babies in the early days. Infertility messes with your head.

Super late here. 14w1d today. My ribs are killing me at the moment and my belly already seems huge, but it's all still exciting. I don't feel like I am trying to hide it anymore, so that's a relief.

Hi guys! Taking a chance on posting here ... you know 'superstitions' etc.

I got a + this weekend and just went in for blood work today (results tomorrow).
