Pregnancy brain is for real, you guys. I didn't think it'd happen to me, but it happened the other day.

I left work the day before with my usual things (purse, lunch bag, laptop) and went home. I dropped my things off at home and then left to go babysit my friend's kids. I came home afterward and realized that I didn't see my laptop in on the dining table or counter where I usually put it. Weird. I figured I must have left it in the car, and then I went to bed.

As I was getting ready for work yesterday morning, I took another quick look around the house for my laptop before heading out to the car. Must be in the car, I kept telling myself. I open the backseat to put my stuff down, and there is NO laptop there!! WHAT. I SWORE I brought laptop home with me. I distinctly remember doing so! I run back into the house and do another quick sweep, check my trunk, and even the floor of my car. Nothing. At this point, I'm panicking a little. I get into my car and head to work, praying that it is somehow miraculously at work.

Of course, there was a delay in the road that caused my normal route to be re-routed. The suspense mounts. I step into my room, walk over to my desk.... and THERE IT IS. Like I had intentionally left it there yesterday.... I was super glad it was there, but at the same time, I was very perplexed because I don't remember leaving it at work.

@snarkybiochemist: yay for the nausea being gone! Doesn't it feel awesome to feel like a normal human being again? At least that's how I felt when my energy returned and my nausea subsided. I'm hungry all the time too! I bought some whole wheat bread and peanut butter the other day to eat as a snack before dinner because baby ain't playing.

@snarkybiochemist: same! I'm about a week ahead of you, I think. I've been trying to feel the baby move, but haven't had any luck. Sometimes I feel some gas bubbles that might be the baby, but I can't say for sure. 2 weeks until my anatomy scan. Can't wait!!!

Happy to report that our anatomy scan went great and baby is looking healthy and right on track with growth. So relieved to have met this milestone. Officially half way there!

@Shopoholicmom: Wonderful milestone! Congratulations!

@snarkybiochemist: ugh. I know how you feel! Everyone at work is constantly commenting on it!

@mrsbubbletea: I would so rather they didn't say anything at all then, the size of a pregnant lady is not something you comment on
@SugarMaple: I'm feeling all sorts of sensations but I am hesitant to actually call it movement since it feels a lot more jabby then everything I have read 1st movements described as feeling. Congrats on a baby girl (and the purging that comes with it)

I am getting so impatient for my anatomy scan on the 30th.

We are a quiet group! How is everyone doing? Anyone else having increased sub sensitivity? I fried twice now even in share with sunscreen on!

This baby is a wiggle machine. I love the baby kicks - hands down my favourite part of pregnancy! My anatomy scan was 2 weeks ago and baby is looking great, the sex is still a surprise, I will be so glad when he/she is born and I can finally get rid of my massive amount of baby clothes in storage LOL.

Baby room is coming together, I kicked DD out into her "big girl" room and I am slowly moving baby stuff out of storage into the room.

Otherwise, just trying to manage the summer heat. Looking super large and in charge these days! We should have a bump thread update! I am getting lots of stranger chatter about my bump which I really don't mind at all (as long as no one touches me )

@snarkybiochemist: good luck with your anatomy scan!

@snarkybiochemist: Thinking of you today!
@mrsbubbletea: Oh my goodness, that does sounds scary! I'm glad everything was ok but I'm so sorry about your face and having to go through that at all! Did they give you any indication of what it could have been? Orthostatic hypotension? Low blood sugar? Hope you're getting some rest from all that.

@Shopoholicmom: they just said it can happen in pregnancy, my best guess is drop in blood pressure. Everything was resolved by the time I was there, so it was impossible to know! @snarkybiochemist: thanks! Let us know ASAP your news!

@mrsbubbletea: Yikes!

@snarkybiochemist: yay that's so exciting! Glad your scan went well, and congrats on a girl!

@mrsbubbletea: yikes, that's super scary, but glad to hear that you and baby are doing okay!!

I had my anatomy scan last week, and baby is doing great and looking healthy. Measuring a little bit ahead, but doctor says she's looking to be a medium sized baby (if everything continues to progress at its current rate). And we found out the gender, it's a GIRL! I've had a feeling it was a girl since the beginning of my pregnancy, and while my hubs was convinced it was a boy, he's really happy to be having a little girl.

@chenergized: @snarkybiochemist: yay for the girls!

@Lucy_goosey: yay
we seem to be having a good number of girls this month
I have off today as a bonus holiday and have been crafting for my girl, I made a taggie blanket and bought minky fabric to back the blanket I am crocheting.

@chenergized: I am so excited to be making things for my baby instead of years of making things for other people's babies. With a November baby I should probably make a few hats

@dominobee: Thanks we are excited, good luck I am following your due date board and can't wait to hear more about your twins!

@snarkybiochemist: Great! I am really nervous about my scan today. I am worried after my fainting last week, even though they checked the baby and everything looked good, just worried. That something won't be normal or even worse when they do the scan. And Ill be alone there too. Ugh. I had a dream last night my water broke but I was 30 weeks. Such a weird specific dream. ETA my dream was even worse, I just remembered, my cord prolapsed and I had to push it back up! Ugh. I woke up and had to pee and was so happy.

@snarkybiochemist: Thank you. I wish I would feel movement already. I felt some the other day but none regularly.

@snarkybiochemist: My ER doc last week told me she never felt movement till 25 weeks even with her second and third pregnancies! I better start feeling it like tomorrow, I know I definitely felt it at 20 weeks last time!

@snarkybiochemist: Ive definitely mentioned this before, but last time during my anatomy scan, the tech said "are you sure you aren't feeling that?" since I had told her I wasn't feeling baby yet, and so it clicked. And it TOTALLY felt like gas bubbles! But I just haven't had that sensation this time!
