What's new? Weekend edition...

E=Mc3

I love the weekend and see each one as a mini milestone in and of itself. Of course, my ticker changes every Saturday too, so that might explain it.
Still, I thought it might be nice to share what's new with our developing pregnancies or life in general each weekend. 

I'll go first.
This weekend will be my week 7 ticker. I have been much more tired than last week. I have seriously been trying to think of somewhere I could hide to take a nap during lunch! Coat closet? Hmm. 

I have been noticing that if I drink a lot of water, I can better feel my uterus way down low. I think it's because my bladder is pushing on it.

My aching and sore boobs actually woke me up in the middle of the night for thenfirst time. Ow!!!

I have been feeling more stretching way down low too. It literally feels like stretching out a muscle before exercise only I'm not actively doing a stretch.

Hope everyone will jump on in and share what's new this weekend...and for all the ones to come until our babies are in our arms.

I will be 10 weeks on Monday!  Woohoo for double digits!  This nausea has not quit.  It's maybe a tiny bit better, but still there all day long.  My uterus is pushing my "jelly roll" up and over my pants now, so that's cute.  I've got a sweet little blump.  And my favorite tidbit, my doppler should arrive this week!!!!! Tuesday or Wednesday!  I am dying to get my hands on it!

Each weekend  has been like a mini milestone for me too. My ticker changes to 8 weeks on sunday, so that helps!

This weekend is a huge milestone for me family wise as we are taking a family vacation  for no other reason than to just go have fun for the first  time  since we had  kids 3.5 years ago.

I'm a bit worried  about my nausea, it's been slowing down and while I know I shouldn't complain my pgal brain is really kicking in. My most frustrating  symptom is my lack or patience and general feeling of being  more grumpy  than usual.

I have my dating ultrasound  coming up for 10 weeks on the 21st so I'm pretty excited and anxious for that. My bloat has reached epic proportions. I have a very vicious muffin top if I wear  normal pants.

I'm 9 1/2 weeks and for the past 2 days I've slept through the night and haven't had to get up to urinate. I usually am up 2-3 times per night. Also, I've woke up and my breasts haven't been as sore. I'm more concerned about the decrease in need to urinate. Could it be because my LO is just beginning to rise up off of my bladder or should I be worried??

I have similar concerns as some on here have already expressed about waning symptoms. I'm 9 1/2 weeks and my all day nausea seems to be completely gone. I've had pretty bad all day nausea for a week now but 2 days ago I had a break of about 2 hours where I felt pretty good. Then yesterday I had about half the day of feeling good, and now today so far has been very good. Of course this makes me really nervous!! Ugh and my boobs are much less sore than they've been. Hoping my body is just getting used to the hormones and it's not a sign of something bad.

We had our first U/S 2 weeks ago and everything was good. We go back on the 14th for a regular exam and hopefully to hear the heartbeat. I just can't help but worry instead of enjoying feeling well.

@LGW2015 that's the other thing I've had nausea throughout the nights and that stopped two days ago as well. I'm hoping since the nausea stopped my body was able to rest and didn't wake me for my bladder....
I agree with your last sentence completely. I just worry like I don't feel pregnant anymore because I had 2 days of feeling normal... Ughhh we are not alone.. Thanks for sharing.

I've passed my "panic point" of my loss of my first pregnancy and will be seeing this baby on Tuesday. My son keeps poking my tummy and we are getting close to telling our families.

My back is always sore, my stomach area hurts and my neasea comes and goes. I've got my cramps under control, buy I know they will be back (along with spd and my back pain)

We have names picked out (seriously a discussion that has been going on for 4 years. With our son it took so long to pick that we were working on naming this one months ago)

My previous loss was 8w6d which will be tomorrow for me. This time around I've been way more nauseous and constipated so though that sucks I'll take it. I'm super anxious for monday to hit/9 weeks. I don't have my first apt/US til the 16th so just trying not to hold my breath too much.

Monday I am 9 weeks and will finally get to see baby! Praying everything is okay my nausea has started to fade but I am still exhausted at the end of the day.

I'm spending all weekend trying to clean up after my mini tornado..I mean toddler.

I saved all my errands for today and now I regret it. I just want to sit at home in my jammies! Instead I'm getting an oil change, grocery shopping, and doing some returns. Bad planning man

Not trying to start a fight, but isn't the same as the weekly symptom and ticker change threads? Just asking because the last poster who tried to post about symptoms everyone disagreed.

However if we are talking about weekend plans/making chit chat, then we are going out shopping today for appliances and carpeting for our basement we just finished. Then later bingo with friends! It's fun, but lasts way too late (11:30pm), and no way I'll be able to stay awake.

I feel like this can be a whatever's on your mind this weekend thread. I'm not trying to clutter up the forum or take away from other threads. 

Sounds like you have a busy day planned. I wish I did too. It would make the time pass more quickly. 
I completely understand about not being able to stay awake so late.

We're going to look at 5 houses today and I've got my fingers crossed that we find "the one." There's two top contenders on the list, but they both have their pros and cons. One is the most adorable house ever, it's in a great area close to a lot of things, within walking distance to the elementary school, but it doesn't have a fenced in yard for the dogs. The other one is perfect, but it's a little more and in a much smaller community so it's not close to much. Definitely country living, which is fine because I grew up that way, but DH grew up in the city so it may be a big adjustment for him. Also both will add travel time to work for the both of us, but they are a significant improvement in neighborhoods and schools. I just hope that we can decide today and make an offer, our lease is up at the end of the month and we're really trying not to pay another month's rent.

I haven't properly introduced myself and I don't know that I really will--so I hope no one minds that I'm just sort of jumping in here and there. I do like these weekend threads because everything is sooo slooow on Saturdays and Sundays...and I feel like a lot of old threads just end up being resurrected.

I love hearing from those of you who are house hunting. We're good and settled, but house hunting is so fun! I know it's stressful to feel like you need to find the perfect place and it's harder with a firm timeline/baby on the way, but try to enjoy it! I'm nosy, so...checking out other people's homes has always been interesting to me. I like to imagine what kind of people live there. And it's crazy how different each house SMELLS. I can only imagine what house hunting with pregnancy nose is like. Gosh, I'm kind of creepy. 

My dad is in town to help take care of my daughter while I'm working during the week. Typically my MIL is our nanny, but she's out of town enjoying a cruise. I work from home and my schedule is really flexible, so we're around each other all day, but my dad still hasn't guessed that I'm pregnant. He's been here for four days. He knows that we want several children, but he's also very "the world is already overpopulated" and he's generally paranoid about my health/things going wrong and I know his reaction is going to be along the lines of "BUT BUT BUT WHY AND ZIKA AND OMG AND WHY" and I'm nervous to tell him. I have my first US on Wednesday and my husband and daughter are going to be coming with me. I don't want to make up something about where we're all going, and I don't want to lie, so I guess I have to come clean before then. I thought he'd notice that I wasn't drinking or there would be some semi-natural moment to bring it up, but nothing yet. I'm nervous! Any tips?

My happy/hopefully not terribly obnoxious news is that I heard my bean on my doppler this morning for the first time. I'm 7+4 (by my reasoning) which I know is incredibly early, but I heard by daughter at 8+2 (which was the day that my doppler arrived) so I've been casually trying for a couple of days. Yes, it was definitely baby, and not my heartbeat or the placenta or anything. I got a lot of practice with baby #1 and I know what I'm looking for. It gave me some peace of mind, which I really needed. My symptoms haven't been particularly strong (which I know is not indicative of viability, etc. etc. but it still made me worry) so it was nice to get some auditory confirmation that there is something growing in there. 

Not sure what all we're going to be up to today. I need to spray something stinky on my tulips to keep the pesky deer away. Very exciting, I know.

This weekend has been a relaxing time after a very hectic week house sitting for a couple of our friends (they have three dogs and two cats). Today I'm hoping to get my referral from the ECC to take the mandatory OB Orientation class before getting my first appointment. Air Force wife problems. On a more positive note I will be meeting the fiancé of one of my husbands friends today; so excited that come August I will finally have a civilian wife friend!

Took our 5 yr old to chuck e cheese today and other than that did grocery and relax.  Was released last week from the re and have my first ob appt tomorrow and am not sure what to expect. Hoping to hear or see baby to ease my worries as we are now just past the point of our latest loss we had before my son.
