15 weeks!!! The babies are the size of oranges this week. That seems pretty big to me but maybe they're referring to smaller oranges as next week is avocados :-)

I went for the Harmony test yesterday. The results take two weeks to get back. I was thinking about not having it done but my doctor recommended it after me asking, is it worth it, should I even bother? 

Nothing else new to report. I took the last of my medication for the ear issue. It is almost gone but I have some minor swelling still. And I'm still waiting for my lab results. 

My pregnancy app told me that today is my ONE HUNDRETH day of pregnancy. What?!

For a few days, around my left ear was bothering me. Yesterday, I woke up and I had painful swelling under my ear so I went to the doctor. It turns out I have a "rare" cold sore on the edge of my face near my ear. She put me on Valtrex. She said she hasn't seen these in many years but she has seen 3 people so far this week with them. Weird.

She also made me get the flu shot. I wasn't planning on it but hopefully the benefits outweigh the risks. 

She also ran some thyroid tests due to my "enlarged thyroid" earlier this year, and B12 level.  

14 weeks today. The babies are the size of lemons! 

I feel fine, hardly any nausea but still waves of fatigue. 

I've started my baby registry. What a nightmare trying to figure out what I need!! And then, to figure out what things I need two of! I have spent hours and hours looking things up online. It's very overwhelming thinking I need all these items and that I have no clue about anything! I'll figure it out but it'll just take time, I suppose. 

I did get approved for the Harmony test but the lab at South Shore Hospital isn't covered by my insurance. How would the average person know or think to check that? The lab is outsourced. This also happened to me at Newton Welleslley Hospital at my hysteroscopy... The anesthesiologist was a third party contractor and was "out of network" so we got a bill for her portion. That is crazy!! How would I ever know that the doctor on that day during that time was not covered by my insurance. They ended up covering it but still. Bill had to call and argue with them. The hassle shouldn't have to happen . Anyway, I'm waiting on my doctors office to arrange the lab test for me. 

Not much else to report. 

Peaches at 13 weeks

I had my first ob appointment yesterday. I met my doctor. Turns out that she has IVF twins also but she had to go through 6 cycles before getting pregnant. I felt bad telling her it only took us once, but at the same time, our insurance woudn't cover a second cycle if we needed it. Anyway, she listened to the babies heartbeats and not much else. It was pretty uneventful. I have to return in 4 weeks. I also have a big anatomy ultrasound at the hospital on 10/28. 

Yay

Officially in the second trimester!!! I've read it really begins around 13 weeks, 3 days! No doubt about it, I made it! My stomach has been feeling larger than usual so, I think it's coming!!! :-) bring it on!
