I'll be damned.
Second trimester is here. Supposedly, I should have more energy than during the first trimester and feel less nauseous.
I'm not so sure. I have a feeling chasing these to little people around is going wear me out. I also puked three times while trying to brush my teeth on Tuesday morning! What is up with that? Every time in pregnant, I have issues brushing my teeth without puking. I'm not sure if I'm alone on this one but it's a strange side effect.

The size of a plum and less progesterone :)
12 weeks!
Thankfully, I am on less progesterone now. The last 5 days I've done 1/2cc instead of the usual 1cc. Even though it's the same giant needle, it's a little less obnoxious.
Told anyone yet?: We told everyone this week. Sunday we had our parents and DH's brother over to a surprise video announcement. We disguised it as a "Valentine's Day" party. My parents were (as usual) two hours late and that started a whole new argument before they even got here. It's nothing even worth explaining. They have a useless excuse for everything. To say 'they aren't dependable' would be the understatement of the year.
Current stats:
Weight Gain: Since the FET I've gained 5-7 lbs. It varies depending upon the day.
Cravings: Olive garden salads, veggie pitas, coffee (I wish I could have more), juices (OJ, apple, grape), grape soda, english muffins.
Nauseous: It has gotten much better over the last week. The nausea will come up randomly now but usually for a short period of time and not as severe as it was a few weeks ago and nothing like last pregnancy. Hopefully, with less progesterone injections, the nausea will die down-- and so will my crazy pregnancy acne.
Belly touches: Thankfully, other than doctors, it's been kept to DH and the boys.
Feeling: More energy at times but still feeling run down. I'm a little more excited to start getting things a bit more organized. But damn. . . .this stupid, slow, long, dreadful Winter is going to kill me.
Boy or girl: I really have no idea but keep looking at 'girl' things for whatever reason.
Emotional state: I have cabin fever. It snowed another 5" today. . . it's almost March . . .it should hit 40 degrees for the first time since I have no idea when this week--for one day. I just want to go outside and take a walk. Even with a sweatshirt on and the temperature at 50 degrees would seem like heaven. I cannot explain how much I want Spring to be here.

Movement: I can't feel anything but DH and I have both seen how amazing "little squish" looks dancing on the high-res u/s scan last week.

Maternity clothes: Finally I went and bought two pairs of maternity jeans last week. We still have not been able to find my old pairs. However, it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't even fit. I'd love to get another pair of comfy pajamas, a robe and more maternity (long) tanks.
Baby purchases: Nothing new. I did start a Kohl's and Amazon registry of a very few things just in case my relatives bring up that they want to buy something. I'm not going to bring it up but it's good for me to keep track the few things we would need to buy either way.
Nesting: I dread turning the office into the nursery. It has so much stuff in it. I'm not sure where it will go. I have cleaned out a few rooms but still need to clean the basement and organize papers.

A little squishy prune.
10 weeks!
Baby is a fetus! We have had a few rough days over the last couple of weeks but now we look forward--baby is the size of a prune!
Current stats:
Weight Gain: About the same as the last few weeks. I haven't been very hungry, especially at the end of the day. Maybe 5lbs since I had the FET in December.
Cravings: Similar to the last pregnancy, I'm craving a lot of beverages: caffeine-free soda (cherry 7-up), malts (any flavor), cold water, small coffee, decaf teas, etc. For foods, I did have a cupcake craving the other day as I drove by the local cupcake place. I bought four cupcakes but it took DH and I four nights to eat them. We each had half per night.
Nauseous: On and off over the last week and a half. Mainly in the morning and evening.
Belly touches: DH only. I'm not big on that to begin with. I'm trying to enjoy the idea of it since this is the last time. :)
Feeling: Tired and a bit cranky. Chasing after and taking care of the boys all day is beginning to wear on me. I'm mentally and physically exhausted. I also have RLP throughout the day which usually stops me in my tracks.
Boy or girl: I have begun to feel good with either option. There are many benefits to both. DH is saying "girl".
Emotional state: Kinda cranky and feeling a bit detached. I miss my Zoloft-- I could hug it. This Winter SUCKS. I feel like we get snow every other day and have had one of the coldest Winters in 20+ years. We are stir crazy. Even the boys' Y class has been canceled twice due to the cold.

Movement: Nothing yet. Just "little Squishy" hip-dancing on the u/s sans.
Told anyone yet?: DH has had to tell the principal at his school from day one--and had to tell her 'fill-in' on Thursday because of the bleeding situation. I also told a friend of mine who is also preggo since she knew about the FET. (She works at my Pharmacy and knows every med I take). We are planning to tell family this weekend and other people around Valentine's Day.
Maternity clothes: I bought one pair of black stretch pants and two dresses at Destination Maternity a couple weeks back. I've worn the pants but the dresses will have to wait for Spring.
Baby purchases: I've tried to resist until I know the sex of the baby. We have SO MUCH boy stuff. There are a few girl clothing items I bought months/years ago in hopes that one day I would have a girl (by whatever means).
Nesting: Until people know, I think it would be hard. (Outside of basic cleaning). We have to turn the office or guest room into the nursery.
