12 week 5 days come on 2nd tri almost there!
AW: we are officially on vacation with our DS and so very excited!
Vent: I'm so sick of puking. I thought it would be over by now and while it has gotten a lot better I'm still throwing up at least once a day. Ugh.
I'm feeling pretty good. It's been 2 weeks since my last appointment and time is creeping by of course. I was so tempted to buy a doppler yesterday but hubby rightly talked me out of it. 2 more weeks until I can hear our sweet baby's hb.

33+5
Had first NST yesterday - 20 minutes of listening to her HB was quite nice. Apparantly, she's pretty chill, because I was on the monitor for awhile, but she reacted to the doctor's cold hands, so apparently nothing to worry about. I can't believe how far along I am - this is getting very real, very quickly!
My swelling today is already out.of.control. It's only 9:30am But I'm feeling pretty damn good, all things considered. Big and slow and tired, but I think that's par for the course at this point.
I had my first spotting dream that I had in months. I think it is because I have been super anxious about work and my 4 year old had the biggest meltdown last night that last 2 hours. I slept like poo. I have been feeling movement once in a while. Nothing big yet. I hope it starts happening sooner than later.
18W 3D here and had my anatomy scan this past week. My SCH seems to be gone!! I stopped bleeding and spotting on Monday and Tuesday we had our scan and everything looked great! I am SO relieved that the bleed is gone. I do have a low lying placenta so they will check back at 30 weeks but other than that I'm back to my regular checkup and not having to go every other week for monitoring. I'm feeling lots of movement which is an added bonus. We also told DS he is going to have a brother and he was SO excited. He was carrying around the US saying this is MY baby BROTHER!!!! Lol
Our NT scan went well last week and it is so so nice to be out of the first tri. My first regular OB appt is on 5/27, when I'll be 15w2d. I hope they do an ultrasound, but I'm not sure that they will since it's just a regular visit.
We told some family last weekend and I told my boss and a couple co-workers this week. It's fun to share the news. We have a few more people to tell this weekend. We won't announce anything on FB until after the anatomy scan, but it'll be nice not to have to keep it a secret anymore.

9 wks, 5 days
We have our pretty big milestone appointment on Tues. This will be the furthest we have a viable baby and I'm excited to be moving past this hurdle! I am doing pretty good anxiety wise but I have my moments.
Symptom-wise I have my good days and bad days...yesterday was especially bad and I finally had my first pregnancy vomit (I am the type of person that will suffer through nausea because I hate to throw up...but there was no escaping it yesterday). Other than the constant nausea I am feeling pretty good! I sleep a ton these days but that tends to help.
1. 22 weeks 2. Baby is growing good. Strong heart beat! My doctor told me today he is glad my weight gain has been good. What a relief I was scared he would give me a speech. 3. I'm feeling much better after my doctor appt today. I'm ready to have a fabulous vacation!!!!
1. 24w1d 2. We are starting the nursery tomorrow and the crib and rocker are ordered. Had a 24w check up today and everything was perfect. 3. Really good, physically. Mentally, I'm still having a hard time believing we will bring home a baby in just a few months. I can feel her moving all the time now so I no longer wonder about that at least. The movement is still surreal and I can't believe that's my daughter in there.
Vent - I'm annoyed I missed the "honeymoon" part of pregnancy and went straight from puking to being too huge to move or sit comfortably. Isn't there suppose to be this part where you're not puking, have energy, and aren't big enough yet to have issues? The GI Dr. I usually see doesn't have an appointment until JUNE 17TH!! and I was advised that I probably have a food allergy that is causing so much of the gas so I should avoid all dairy, sugar, breads/pasta, and vegetables that cause gas. SOOOO I'm hormonal, HUGE, in pain, starving and craving everything under the sun, and can't eat SHIT without becoming so bloated and in pain that I'm up the whole damn night. And then I have guilt for being so damn miserable because in the end I really do want this baby and fought like crazy to get pregnant in the first place. I am amazed at my inside-out belly button, though. I've already had comments on "oh! it popped, baby must be done" and Im always like "no no, not even half baked yet!"
Silver lining - called another Dr. office and they have an opening this Monday. Maybe I'll get answers, but there is a good chance that it might be "sorry, this is just how your body is, gonna have to deal with it and eat only lettuce and chicken from now on."
Other than the piss poor mood I've put myself in because of above whiney vent - I'm really excited to be almost half-way there. I keep focusing on any little sensation in my lower abdomen wondering if I'm feeling the baby or the gas. Every u/s I've had shows it healthy and with great movement and I'm looking forward to June 4th for my AS. Dr keeps checking for a sex but still "can't see anything" so I'm thinking it's a girl. We'll see in a few weeks. I'm excited.
AW/vent/random you want to share? We find out if the baby is a boy or girl this week. I'm so excited that I can finally start shopping! This weekend we are going to do all the wives' tales just to see.
How are you feeling? Still throwing up all the time, so that is fun. I've resigned myself to the fact that morning sickness will follow me until labor.
AW/vent/random you want to share? My OB's office has an agreement with some testing company that any women 30 or older can get the Panorama test done. Since this is supposed to be more accurate than the NT scan, we opted to do it. If insurance doesn't cover it, the company only charges $120 per the agreement with the OB's office. Additionally, DH and I got to see baby on an u/s yesterday and baby was measuring day ahead with a strong h/b. The spotting I experienced earlier in the week (appeared on Mother's Day ironically) has subsided so I am feeling cautiously optimistic about things.
How are you feeling? Tired all the time but can't sleep. My symptoms have been fairly minimal which has been one of the biggest hurdles emotionally to deal with since I kept second-guessing the viability of the pregnancy. Though I have had a few days where it felt like I was hit by a bus (nauseous, bloated, etc.) it overall hasn't been too bad (**runs to knock on wood**).

I suffer with IBS and have been in and out of hospital. They tried the elimination diets with me and none of them worked. I saw a specialist homeopathic type doctor and he literally looked in my eyes and told me to avoid yeast, and anything with yeast extract. It changed my life. My weird painful bloating disappeared. And then after having DS my yeast intolerance disappeared and I can eat it again.
