How's it going this week?

[picksthemusic]

How are you ladies feeling? Anything to report?

I have my NT scan tomorrow, so excited about that! I can't wait to see peanut again.

Feeling much better this week, a lot less m/s, which is nice. My boobs, however, are just as sore as they have been. My food 'cravings' are mostly salty, sour, and savory. Not a lot of sweet going on. I about inhaled a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos on Super Bowl Sunday, and OMG THEY WERE SO GOOD.

Have a great week, ladies!

Hola!

8w5d here. 13 days till I see Noel(le) again! Woo! It will be my official "first appointment," as the first quick u/s was just a "viability check," though they were nice enough not to call it that when I made the appt, heh. What's weird is that this next appt will put me at 10w4d. So just a little early for an NT scan. I guess that means I'll come back like the next week for that? Seems sort of silly to have 2 appointments so close, but my job is very flexible, and I will gladly pay for the pleasure of seeing baby again!

Hi ladies!

I'm 15w6d. Last weekend a woman from church offered me her maternity clothes. I'm so grateful I almost cried. She'll bring them next week and I'm really excited.

We saw some old friends for a superbowl party and one of them offered a lot of practical tips about what essential big ticket items they found useful. She was incredibly helpful. Another friend went on and on about her awful delivery (3 years ago) and I had to fake a bathroom run just to get away from her scare tactics.

I'm at 10 weeks, holy crap! Feeling ok, but each day is different. Yesterday was a snow day and I was at home and 100% fine, but this morning I only had a bite of toast and a cup of tea. Lunch was fine though.

DH got to hold our friend's 9 mo son over the weekend and was such a nervous nelly. I told him he has 30 weeks to get over it.

My mom is already planning my shower. Too bad neither my cousin nor my aunt know yet, or else they'd be helping her.

Tomorrow I will be 31 weeks and down to single digits, which the nurse reminded me of this morning at my appointment.

We had an elective 3D ultrasound last friday and I am SO glad we decided to do it. We didn't get the best pictures, not bad but not great, but it really helped DH bond with our baby girl. He talks to her non stop now, is so much more excited and says it just feels more real now that he got to see what she looks like. One of her pictures is now the background on his phone and I catch him just staring at it every once in a while, it melts my heart.

Our nursery is just about finished and I am making a trip to our nearest BBB and BRU this weekend (250 miles) to get our remaining needs. I washed all of her clothes over the weekend and started prepping all of her cloth diapers.

I am also taking my state nursing board exam, the NCLEX, on friday and am super nervous! I have to drive to Denver to take it, which is 250 miles from us. It has been snowing for the last 24 hours and I have to drive over the mountains.

I had my blood work done yesterday (4w 2d) and it's looking good! HCG 99 and Progesterone of 58.7. The nurse mentioned that *she* thought it might be twins, so of course now I'm freaking out!


AAHH it's gonna be a looong 4 week wait!

ETA - of course now I go and look up HCG ranges & it looks pretty normal... so who knows.

14w6d. I was thinking of "hysteric" (ie, imagined) pregnancies today in the shower for some reason and panicking that I am suffering one. But, of course, I've seen the baby on a screen 3 times already, so it's not likely.

Anyway, that's where my mind is. Also, my breasts are already larger now than they were at the end of my last pregnancy. They're so huge they hurt if I am not wearing a bra. I am not used to this.

I'll be 25 weeks tomorrow. I've really popped and people are starting to comment on it. I went shopping at the mall with a friend on the weekend and a staff at one store commented. As well as my clients have started to notice, but I'm in the process of telling them anyways.

Good luck with all your driving speyedr! That sounds stressful.

It's so fun to see everyone moving along.

I'm 31w1d now. Stupid monitoring got me all freaked out with threats of hospitalization again yesterday... my doctor is annoyed and doesn't seem to think things are so dire as that.... but I'm on blood pressure medication for pregnancy induced hypertension. I really really really want to make it to 34w (or beyond of course) but we shall see. I got all freaked out before the u/s yesterday but babies looked great, just me with contractions (doctor says that's normal for twins) and my blood pressure.

17w4d. I think I have started to feel the baby move...

I had to call in to get my 2nd Beta numbers, but they are good! HCG 326, Progesterone 51.2 (down a bit, but they aren't overly concerned).

Now I just get to wait for the sono in 4 weeks. Man it's gonna be a LONG wait.
