Sitting down to do a (VERY long overdue) catch up. I am so so sorry that I haven't been on to update. Between terrible MS lasting until 14 weeks (i wont even go into how long my house went without being cleaned because of this as well...), my little guy being sick twice, traveling and unexpected house projects (read: things breaking), I have had practically no time for bnb. And once you are behind, it's hard to find enough time to do a proper catch up like you all deserve! I think i've got everyone caught up on the front, please comment if I missed anyone-it certainly wasn't done on purpose. There were nearly 70 pages to read through and I love how active you all are!
Ali very kindly offered to take over managing the thread to keep it up to date. I am extremely grateful for her offer. I'm leaving Thursday for a trip so between now and then will try and figure out how to get it over to her so she can update going forward. My parents are in town Tuesday so if I can't get to it tomorrow (errand day) it may be after i get back from the trip on the 1st. I hope you all wont mind if I stick around (and hopefully become an active poster again- i miss all the bnb ladies!) through the rest of our pregnancies. I would love to get to know you all better!

i'm so sorry about your previous loss but am happy that you are pregnant with your rainbow

greats- congrats on your 3rd little girl!! I'm sure that as they grow it will be so wonderful to have 3 girls to be sisters. I have two older brothers and always felt a little left out/ganged up on as kids but i'm sure with having all the same gender, they will be best friends (most of the time at least
)
TTCBaby- yay for team
!! have to try and even out the girls a bit on here lol. But seriously, having a little boy is just amazing
Tryingagain3- hello and welcome! i've got you added to the front page. how have you been feeling so far?
Ali- i LOVE the signature!! Thank you so much for creating it! I'll get the link added to the front page as well to make it easy for people to find.
LOVE all the scans you all have shared. So happy to hear it is going well for everyone (even with feeling sick, RLP, migraines etc) and that babies are all looking great. I couldn't reply to everyone but i am thinking of each of you all and praying for good scans coming up to show healthy babies. Can you believe we are in/entering into second trimester!! It has been a slow pregnancy for me so far, but with my first it was slow the first half and FLEW the second.
AFM, I am doing pretty well. MS was TERRIBLE this time around and lasted an extra month. I've heard pregnancies get harder but I'm hoping that the rest of the time is on par with my first (wishful thinking right?!).
DH decided he wants to stay team yellow this time (since it's likely our last and he wants the experience). I thought about finding out and keeping it from him, but it's more important to me that we find out together and have that shared experience than knowing ahead of time....so team yellow it is! We are doing gray, yellow and teal for the nursery. I'll save back a couple of items to purchase after baby is born- for a girl, hot pink and a boy maybe red? Not totally sure on that part yet.
I definitely have a little bump (photo attached) and have been feeling very sporadic movements since 10 weeks. I'm hoping to start feeling full kicks in the next month. Anatomy scan isn't booked yet but should be 4 more weeks. Next doctor appointment is in 2 weeks. I am finding myself so anxious this pregnancy. Considered buying a doppler but with the movements every now and again, I am holding off hoping they become more frequent to help ease my worry. We only get one scan (unless there are issues) so very excited to get to the anatomy scan and make sure baby is healthy.
Heading out to western New York this week with my DS and mom to visit her side of the family. Haven't been there since before my little guy was born so excited for them to all meet him. I'm really close with my aunts and cousins so it will be a fun weekend.
I've loved reading everyones updates and hope you all have a wonderful week! i WILL make it a point to be around more often! I have finally gotten caught up on (most of) the threads I've been behind on so just on to journals now. It's easy to stay caught up, hard to find time when it piles up on things to read
