Weekly Check-In

Oh man, I've been bad about this the last couple of weeks!  Sorry, bean!!

How far along? 12w1d, a plum!
Weight gain/loss: Down 4 pounds.  Thank you, morning sickness!
Sleep? Been sleeping lots!
Best moment this week?  Seeing the heartbeat again and being reassured that our baby made it through the surgery!
Movement: Strangely enough, I am feeling a little vibrating, fluttering feeling way down low.  I hope that's you!
Food cravings: This week I guess it was pizza.
What I miss? My energy
What I am looking forward to? NT scan next week!
Milestones: TAC surgery complete (this baby's going nowhere), almost out of 1st Trimester!  Next goal is 18 weeks.
What I'm nervous about: Nothing in the next few weeks.  Praying for smooth sailing.

Weekly Check-in

How far along? 9w3d, almost a PRUNE!
Weight gain/loss: 0
Sleep? Getting a little more uncomfortable, I can feel a little knot if I lay on my stomach. 
Best moment this week? The relief I feel when I let myself throw up. 
Movement: Just my uterus stretching. 
Food cravings: Not much; our fridge is completely empty.  I would like some grilled cheese, though.
What I miss? A calm stomach (I'm repeating this, b/c I had an especially nauseated week)
What I am looking forward to? Can't wait to see the little bugger this Thursday, hopefully arms and legs will be moving!

Milestones: baby moves around, curves fingers around objects and already has fingerprints!
What I'm nervous about:  Upcoming surgery

Weekly Check-In

How far along? 8w4d, I believe we're almost an olive!!!
Weight gain/loss: 0
Sleep? Not as much, the drop dead exhaustion is getting a little more manageable
Best moment this week? 3rd ultraound showed a perfect baby with a heartbeat of 180 BPM!
Movement: Umm, definitely not!
Food cravings: Finally craving healthier food (fruits and veggies) like I did the whole time with the twins
Belly button in or out? In, hopefully for awhile
What I miss? Nothing really
What I am looking forward to? Surgery Day
Milestones: arms and legs are sprouting!
What I'm nervous about: Trying to have another anxiety-free week, so... nothing!

UPDATE on the "mass" - my RE said that it just looks like a corpus luteum cyst and it's getting smaller, so nothing to worry about.  My right ovary was much bigger than my left, so it's still there, but she says it's nothing to worry about.  Good news!

Baby looked great at u/s today, s/he actually looked like a curled up cocktail shrimp - I can't wait for the bean to get bigger so we can see arms and legs waving around!  The surgery date is coming VERY quickly and I'm trying to make a list of things we have to get done before we leave the state for a week, but by the time I get home, I have no energy to do anything besides throw something together for dinner, clean up the kitchen (perfectly, since we've been having ant invasions) and read Sookie Stackhouse novels.  I just finished #10, so I'm pretty sad about that.  I started My Antonia by Willa Cather, but it's definitely not pulling me in as much as the Stackhouse novels...  Hmmm, classic novel vs. mass market vampire thriller.  It's like Kashi vs. Froot Loops for your health.
