    13 weeks, 3 days
    2. Any new symptoms (or disappearing symptoms) this week?
    Still sick frequently, even more now than I was in the begining.

    The other day I swear I felt like something slid across my belly from the inside, very very low. I haven't felt anything since.
    4. Have you started thinking about any child birthing classes? Which ones are you taking?
    Honestly, I'm not really planning on taking many classes - Everyone has told me it's pretty much a waste unless you're planning on a natural birth.
    5. Have you scheduled the "Big" U/S?? Or are you going team Green!?
    Not scheduled yet - I'll make that appt at my Feb 3rd check-up.
    6. Have you purchased anything for baby yet?
    No, but a friend bought a gender neutral outfit for us which is sitting folded neatly in my t-shirt drawer to look at every day!
    7. Anything else you want to share???
    Can you add me to the due date list? My screen name is Laura_Lee and I'm due on July 30th.

    5. The big U/S is 2/5 at 3:30! We're bringing both of our moms!

  8. 1. 13 weeks 2 days
    2. less nausea, but more acid reflux (only in the evenings). I swear everything I eat after say 6 pm just sits in my throat them comes back into my mouth for a 2nd dinner. gross.
    3. Ok, I swear I'm not crazy, and I'm NOT making this up, and it is NOT gas. I am only 13 weeks 2 days but for the last 2 days I have absolutely felt flutters. It is only on the right side a little bit above the belly button but on my right only. It happens every few hours when I'm sitting still or laying down. It feels like very light flutter, or a better description would be slight muscle spasms. It's weird and I can't wait to actually feel more defined movement!
    4. Have you started thinking about any child birthing classes? Haven't started thinking about it yet.
    5. Have you scheduled the "Big" U/S?? I'm far too impatient to wait until delivery day, so we find out March 8th (at 20 weeks!)
    6. Have you purchased anything for baby yet? just some wubba nub pacifiers with attached fuzzy animals, which come to think of I should have received last week...
    7. Anything else you want to share??? I'm still freaking out about who is going to watch the baby after I have to go back to work after my 6 weeks maternity leave. It looks like my aunt from Colombia will be coming for 3 months but that's only if she gets a nice long Visa! PLEASE US IMMIGRATION give my aunt her VISA!!!

  9. 1) 16.5 weeks along
    2) not sure if this is a symptom, but starting to eat more frequently now...
    3) Yes! I felt movement. Last time was on the left side just below the belly button. First time was low on my right side.
    4) Yes we want to take a class, but my hospital is weird and only offers them over an hour away. Going to talk to doctor at appt this week about options.
    5) Team green!!
    6) My sister bought the bedding, and I bought fabric to make a curtain. Also, we bought the super yard since it was on crazy sale at BRU last weekend (or as DH calls it, baby jail)

    2. I feel like my ute is growing and stretching. And now I have a mild case of heartburn every night.
    3. At 14.5 weeks I felt some flutters, but I am not sure if it's the baby.
    4. Haven't thought about it yet. I'll take whatever our hospital offers. We don't have much choice on our isolated island.
    5. I'll probably schedule it for the 1st week in March at our next appointment on 2/5.
    6. I would if we had anything other than a Wal-Mart. I will start buying some stuff online after I get our tax refund.
