Bump Check-In
I made it, it's still Monday!! And it looks like we have a new addition today too. How are you doing ladies?
Nothing much has really changed here. Still sick. Seriously, I am getting so sick of eating. It's all I do. I feel like I finish eating something and I get about 3 minutes before my stomach feels hungry again. What.the.hell! And if I don't eat something, I feel like I'm going to throw up.
I don't know if I mentioned it, but I had my "last" appointment with the RE last week. We had an u/s and the baby looked great. I go for another b/w appointment tomorrow to see if I can stop all of the meds. My next appointment is with the OB on the 30th.
I don't really have a bump at all, just a little pudge. FIL keeps trying to scope out my belly to see if I sprouted anything. It's cute because I know he's excited, but it's going to be awhile before I look pregnant.

Re: Bump Check-In
Tania, I can not believe you are almost 12 weeks and nearing the end of your 1st trimester. I know I told you it would end eventually but even I am in shock with how fast that went by.
I am feeling okay. Every once in a while I feel just off and some of the girls on my due date board were saying the same thing so I am taking it as normal for this point in pregnancy. Of course it could be attributed to running myself ragged trying to get everything done before Pumpkin makes his appearance. We have done most everything we wanted to do and are just tying up some loose ends this week.
At my OB appointment last week, my cervix was still closed so we will see what it is this week.

Getting so close, Whit!
I'm having good days and bad days, which is still better than sick all the time. Today has been a very bad day m/s-wise and to top it off Riley is teething and has screamed all day. Nap and bedtime were both a struggle and it was DH's birthday so I had a ton to do.
First appointment is tomorrow, fingers crossed they can find the h/b! I know it's on the early side, but I'm still hoping. We'll tell our families this weekend assuming all goes well tomorrow. It's a good thing we're telling soon because I look now how I did at 15 weeks last time, I swear.
Ugh! I'm glad to hear that it's gone fast for you, because it certainly has draaaaaagged by for me.
Ok, maybe that's a little unfair of me to say. Looking back, I feel like it was just yesterday that I got the beta call from the doctor. However, each day feels like a lifetime.
Is that what it has felt like for you too? Because I can say that it feels like your pregnancy has flown by too.

I've had the worst m/s ever. I had for a few weeks with Kiley at night, this time I have it 24/7. I'm hoping that it starts to go away cause I'm tired of feeling like crap! I'm still pretty tired all the time also. My stomach is def. bigger this time around at close to 11 weeks then with Kiley. I don't look pregnant yet, but my bloating is much bigger.
I haven't gained any weight yet, which I'm super happy about. We go back to the doctor this Friday and then have our Sequential Screening next Tuesday.
Tania, I am just so so excited for you! And you're almost done with 1st tri!!
I'm doing good! I still forget I'm pregnant sometimes, it's weird. I'm starting to feel some flutters, which is amazing. We go for our anatomy scan in 13 days, I can't wait to see my little one again! I'm also excited to see if she's still a girl.
You're pregnant again?! Congratulations!!!!
This past week has been a little harder than all of the others. I've been working more hours at my current job and I think my boss is trying to kill me before I start my other one next Tuesday. I've not been sleeping very well, so work days seem to drag by.
Friday when I got home from work I had my hands full when I walked in the door and my dogs ran to greet me like they always do. One of them got under my feet and at one point I couldn't tell if I was stepping on dog or something on the floor until one of my dogs starting yelping and I ended up falling. Thankfully I landed on my knees, but I hit pretty hard and when I went down I dropped everything and strained trying to catch myself. Ever since then I've been having slight BH.
I haven't called my doctor as the baby is moving around fine and I can pick up the heartbeat, not to mention I've had no cramping or spotting. The BH seem to come more when I'm up doing something like cleaning or while I'm working. I'm definitely keeping an eye on them. I'll talk to my doctor about it at my next visit. Until then, I'm just having to be extra cautious...these dogs get so riled up when I'm around!
Other than all of that, I can't believe I'm 23 weeks. Where has the time gone?
