Mostly just sort of shocked how far along all the pregnant mamas are. Seems like just yesterday we were all getting BFPs.
My belly is definitely showing now and it's quite obvious to anyone who knows me that I'm preggo. I find it quite difficult carrying Curly around lately. He is sooooooo big. I don't know how I'll manage as we both get bigger.
I'm mostly feeling pretty good though. I pee when I sneeze which annoys the heck out of me, but I'm really lazy about Kegels so I guess I'm not surprised.
Edited to add most recent belly pic:

Brian is also moving a ton in there. When I am out he likes to kick my bladder but at home he likes to kcik my ribs and stomache. He is very much like how Jason was in my tummy.

Not much to report here, but we are officially TTC now!  I'm pretty sure we missed the boat on month 1, so I'm really just waiting for AF so I can keep good track for next month.

Cal is almost 2 months old now, I can't believe it! He is smiling all the time now and is the only child of mine who has ever enjoyed tummy time. I take him to the doctor next week and will report back on his impressive weight gain. He can't compete with Daniel yet, but he's getting the man boobs, so he's trying.

Wow, Jess I can't believe your already 16.5 weeks!!! Craziness  . I hope your finally better. Being pregnant and sick is just NOT my idea of fun.
Mary, I am sorry your energy is depleted and your hungry all of the time. I find that the most ANNYOING part of the first trimester. I hate feelign like I have to FIND something to eat every two hours only to feel sick again. I am so sick of food. And I am sure you look amazing
Jenn-  sent your way! I hope you get your sticky bean soon! I can't wait to see your  .
Tori- 2 MONTHS!?!?!?!?! Not quite sure how he is two months already! Sounds like Callum is a very sweet little man. I need pics of his chubbiness

Pregnancy is going well here but I still have a lot to do to get ready.
Here is my most recent belly shot. I'm so much bigger than I was with Jackson.

and here's the pretty little girl on the inside. I had the ultrasound at 31 weeks because I have been consistantly measuring 4 weeks ahead. But she's not a 'large' baby. She's measuring right on average.

Not much to report here. Still struggling a little with hyperemesis. It seems like just when I feel like I've kicked it and relapse.
Oh, yeah, I've also got my 3rd ear/sinus infection in 9 months. Blah.
Here's my 13w belly shot (I'll be 14w on Friday)

Lilly just turned four months old a few days ago. I can not believe how fast the time is going. She's already scooting around on her belly & trying to sit on her own.

Max is seven months old now - I can't believe it! He's still teeny tiny but he can pack away food like you wouldn't believe. He must have some super high metabolism! He's starting to roll everywhere and I think it won't be long before he gets up on his hands/knees and starts crawling. Now that he's discovered mobility he's all about being on the floor

First, I want to say all the preggo mommies look beautiful!!!
We are officially TTC #5! I hope it will be a quick journey, you never know with me. It took us 13 months with Aidan and 3 months with Mason. I think I am out this month. AF should have been here yesterday and I got a negative IC test. I'm hoping that my body is just wonky after the MC and I O'd late or something. I'm still not giving up hope until the witch rears her ugly head. lol!

For my update:
Well.... yesterday, after I wrote out the Wed thread, I started getting really uncomfortable, awaiting for the phone call back from my midwife. I started packing up Bradley because either way, I wanted to take him to my mom and dad's where my mom could just play with him and he could spend the day there. I thought I could at least lay around in their guest room while he was being taken care. My m/w called back and she told me to come in for a 12 oclock appt. My parents live 30 minutes away and my office is another 30 form their house. So, by the time I showered, got Bradley out I had zero time to time to update the board. And I am so sorry for that !
Fast forward: got to the midwife office, they did a clean catch for a dip and send out culture. Got me in a room and within a few seconds the midwife was in there! Usually, the nurse triages you and then you have to wait a bit for the practicioner. The M/W did my vitals, my B/P was low, pulse was racing (of course I was nervous), and oral temp was 102! I was like I had no idea I had a fever. I have been having the chills the past few days, but I honestly thought it was my BP dropping... I get like that when I get sick and have trouble keeping fluids down. So, immediatly she checked me, elongated cervix, high, no dilatation. As she was checking me internally she was doing external palpation and could feel that "tighetning" I had explained to her. She said, that was in fact a contracting uterus. She looked at me and siad, "catherine, no cramping, no pain?" I said, "no, just tightening". She was like, "phew you have a high pain tolerance." Huh? I really didn't think I did. But, it made me feel good about NCB'ing again . HB was 174 upon first check! She found it immediately She did a physical, and upon palpation of my flank I nearly jumped through the ceiling. Now, that hurt. She was concerned that I had a left sided kidney infection. Unless, palpated it didn't hurt. Anyways, she sat with me and basically timed them with me for 10 minutes, and they would come sporadically, last about 30 seconds and come again a minute/5 minute/2 minute later. Once, she was done with that, she explained to me that my urine dip did show an infection and that with BAD UTI's you can have sporadic contractions resulting in dilitation and if continues untreated can result in m/c . I was so happy I went in! She then allowed me to get dressed. She came back with a scenerio. Go to the hospital, hydrate with IV, get IV antibiotics for 24 hours, go home on orals. Or, sit in the office for a couple of hours show them I can drink and keep down oral fluids, recieve an intramuscular injection of antibiotic and pick up oral meds followed by 48 hours of bed rest, and two weeks of pelvic rest. She knew I drove myself. So, after convincing her I was fine to go home, and I really can't be away from my toddler, she let me leave. Oh yes, I wanted to add, that the m/w decided against an u/s because she heard a strong heartbeat and she said at this point, she could tell my cervix was closed and that is all that mattered at this point. Kyle JUST started a new job on Monday with a consultating firm and there is just no way he can take time off! So, per orders I told her I would follow, I stayed in the office afew hours, took my zofran, and slowly sipped 1.5 liters of water. Got the injection, rested, and left to my mom and dad's house. Where Kyle met me to take me home at about 730 ish last night. He works in the city so, the commute is long. I am planning on doing nothing but, laying on the couch while Bradley destroys my family room... . I am just so glad Baby MJ is tucked away in there.
So, for an appt. I thought would be easy peasy, ended being kind of crazy.
I have my NT Scan March 22nd at 1115am. It got moved up a day  I will be 13 weeks! I can't wait to see my lil muffin

I did that same thing at 33 weeks with Erin, so I'm glad you went in! The *only* symptom I had was frequent urination (at 33 weeks! hah! But it ended up being more frequent than it should have been because after the antibiotics were done I wasn't going nearly as much). Anyway, I ended up in L&D overnight and it took 2 shots and 3 pills to get the contractions to stop.
So I'm glad you caught it.

So glad everything was okay Catherine!
Jack is a little over 2 months now, and was 13 pounds 2 ounces at his appointment last week. He is smiling all of the time now and starting to giggle  It is crazy how fast time goes by.
