[quote=Anonymous]Tessa here. Checking in to see how everyone is doing!! I'm 17 weeks and it's starting to feel  real. Most of our friends and family know, and slowly starting to tell folks at work. I have my anatomy scan in 3 weeks and we know we are having a boy from the NIPT. I can feel him very subtly every so often which is very fun. I'm starting to have a teeny bit more energy and I think the nausea is finally all gone.

I am starting to get a little swollen already (fingers and toes mostly) which is a little worrisome to me because I ended up having pre-e with my first but not until I was already in labor at full term so it was less of a concern. My OB wasn't too worried put me on baby aspirin and is having me do a 24 hour urine collection to provide a baseline, which I'm doing today while working from home. Such fun. So gross. At least it feels a little proactive since there isn't a whole ton I can do otherwise to avoid pre-e.

We've been busy trying to clean out our 3rd bedroom/office/junk room so that we can make it our DD's new big girl room. I am not enjoying the clean up/purge process but starting to get a bit excited about having it ready and decorating and furniture. I didn't have the nursery figured out with my first until the week I delivered (darn furniture took 14 weeks and I procrastinated picking it out!) so I am determined to be prepared by the end of the 2nd tri this time. I know I will be exhausted and won't have the energy in the 3rd tri (which is what happened with my first!).

How is everyone else doing?!
