How far along are you? 16 weeks - seems like this snuck up on me lol
How big is baby? Avocado
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope. Next one is on February 14th. What a way to start V-Day lol.
Any new symptoms or changes? All symptoms such as nausea, food aversions, etc have seemed to go away. Now it's just overly sensitive boobs and I can't face the shower head anymore because the water stream hitting my nipples SUCKS.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I have 2 of them today. 1. I am going through the apartment room by room and de-cluttering to make room for baby stuff. Tonight I did the bathroom (and we have a small bathroom). How the hell did I get a full, heavy ass garbage bag worth of stuff to toss?
2. ***TW*** (same as my bitchfest) I have a friend I've known for a long time who recently pissed me the F*** off. She knows the emotional roller coaster I went through when DH & I were TTC. About 3 months ago she told me she was pregnant & I was excited for her. She called me a couple weeks later saying she MC. Then a month ago she told me she was pregnant again and was worried because it was so soon after her MC. I told her to relax and take it easy and follow what directions her OB gave her. A week ago she called me crying saying she MC again. I was feeling really bad for her & cried for her when she told me. Then 2 days ago I got a message I'm assuming she meant to send to someone else & I found out she lied about it all both times!!! I sent her a message back saying WTF?? Why would you think that was okay? That's inconsiderate, rude & offensive. I haven't spoken to her sense. She doesn't understand why I am mad & not replying back or returning calls.
GTKY: What dessert do you order most often? Sundae's. I love a good sundae

Upcoming appointments this week? Still waiting on 2/15 anatomy scan
Any new symptoms or changes? I've just been feeling better honestly.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Has anyone noticed an uptick in sex drive, cause I can definitely put that in the rave column.
@SaphireSweetie88, wtf is wrong with your friend? No seriously, does she have some kind of medical condition that precludes her from using common sense and decency?
GTKY: What dessert do you order most often? Cake. I love cake, it's the one thing that can make a crumby day better.
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope. Had one Friday. I had to do an early glucose test so I should get the results today. Next appointment is anatomy scan on 2/20
Any new symptoms or changes? I didn't take unisom one night and the next day was hell. Grapes are not fun to throw up. I also projectile vomited an apple. I'm back to feeling better and tried a couple grapes again and they give me instant reflux. It's awful. I'm now taking Prevacid to help.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I've been feeling baby move a lot! It started at 15 weeks, 3 days and I wasn't quite if that's what it was, but now that I feel it more often, that's definitely what I was feeling. It's still only when I'm laying down.
GTKY: What dessert do you order most often? I don't order dessert, but if you mean justbin general what I like, white cake with white icing and sprinkles. Or a corner piece brownie. Yummm.
Upcoming appointments this week? Nurse practitioner visit on Friday yay! I've been feeling weird since I haven't seen the baby since 1/14 and it feels like forever even though it's only been a few weeks! I'm excited to hear the heartbeat and see that everything is fine, but won't get an US this time sadly.
Any new symptoms or changes? Just ALWAYS hungry and wanting to eat. It's insane.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant - if I don't eat often enough I get bouts of nausea. Uncool. Rave - MIL sent Goodnight Moon, onesies, receiving blankets, and tiny white shirts via mail and I cried my eyes out because they were so small. (0-3 months)
GTKY: What dessert do you order most often? I don't usually have room for dessert, but I love me a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard from Dairy Queen!
@SaphireSweetie88 that is complete shit. Any woman that can lie about that is evil in my book. DH had a friend that was "pregnant" and posing with a huge belly at 8 weeks (it was just fat) and then suddenly "miscarries" and was out drinking the same night and never mentioned it again. She did it for attention and to try to keep her third marriage together for another couple of weeks. Complete bull. I can't respect that at all when some women have to try so hard for this and others can just lie about it like nothing!
@SaphireSweetie88 That is a crazy story! Sounds like she has a personality disorder. Who would wish that pain on themselves? Lying to garner sympathy from someone struggling with fertility issues is especially cruel.
@Itsnotyourturn An unfortunate no to the increased sex drive. Womp womp.
@ginger1228 FX for good results with your glucose test! Let us know how it goes.
How big is baby? OMG a cinnamon roll. I know what I need to eat this week...
Upcoming appointments this week? Yes! I have one Friday. Shouldn't be too exciting - no ultrasound this time
Any new symptoms or changes? Feeling loads better than I did at the beginning of last week. Still managed to throw up yesterday morning though. Go me?
Rants/Raves/Questions? I managed to get a bunch of chores done yesterday! Still didn't get my whole list done, but it's a win compared to what I've been able to do the last few months.
GTKY: What dessert do you order most often? I am a dessert fiend. Maybe a FFFC, but I prefer desserts over normal food most of the time My go-to is probably cookies. Moral of the story, if you put a dessert in front of my face, I will probably enjoy it.
Me: 31 DH: 31 DS born 6/2017, became a heart angel 8/2018 CP 3/2019
Upcoming appointments this week? Not this week, impatiently waiting for our A/S next Monday!
Any new symptoms or changes? I feel like my blump has suddenly, almost over night, become an actual bump! Yay!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Definitely a rant, I hate that I'm already peeing myself when I sneeze haha My husband calls it piddling
GTKY: What dessert do you order most often? If I could eat dessert and only dessert I'd be a happy camper. Cheesecake, ice cream, chocolate cake, Fro-yo, you name it I eat it lol
@saphiresweetie88 That's absolutely insane. A MC is one of the most painful experiences ever and to lie about something like that especially when she knew the stress you were under while TTC, doesn't sound like much of a friend to me...
@Itsnotyourturn - No huge increase in sex drive for me yet but I think it's getting there. As far as my friend goes, she hasn't been diagnosed with any medical condition that I know of and I've known her for almost 15 years.
Upcoming appointments this week? I had an appointment
with a new midwife this morning. I really liked her and think I’m going to
switch practices! Now I’m just stressing about figuring out how to make it a
smooth transition.
Any new symptoms or changes? Still crazy abdominal pain. The midwife this morning referred
me to a maternity chiropractor to see if the pain might be coming from
separating stomach muscles or a hernia.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I
am blaming it on my constant pain, but I haven’t really started any preparations
for baby yet! I need to look into daycares, decide which insurance baby will be
going on, etc. but so far I have no motivation. My mom asked me about nursery themes
the other day and I just had to laugh because that is like #47 on the list of
things to do.
GTKY: What dessert do you order most often? Cake!
@Itsnotyourturn
I wish I had an increased sex drive! Take advantage, girl!
@ginger1228 First no Harry Potter and now purposefully
choosing the corner brownie piece?! I guess maybe we should be friends though
because then I would never have to eat a corner brownie.
@maybeitsmadeline I have the same problem with nausea if I
don’t eat. It’s no fun!
@SpongeWorthy Yay for feeling better, but not so much for
the throwing up.
Upcoming appointments this week? Had one today. All looks good and I should be able to do a VBAC!!
Any new symptoms or changes? Less tired, but now my right breast is SUPER itchy and I can't find anything to relieve it,
Rants/Raves/Questions? So excited to have finalized everything for buying a new house, but totally nervous to have not sold our current house (and we bought w/o a contingency to sell).
GTKY: What dessert do you order most often? Ice cream, but after reading these posts I will definitely be baking some cookies for dessert tonight!
@abjm0325 hahaha I'm not making a very good impression! But that is a good point on why we should be friends. I'll always save the center brownies for you. I love the chewiness of the edge. Yummmm
SUPER late to the party here! I've had a horrible past few days so I've been absent.
How far along are you? 18w
How big is baby? Ovia says a sugar glider, which is awesome!
Upcoming appointments this week? Just had my 1 hour glucose test yesterday since I took metformin to get pregnant. I failed... have to take the 3 hour next week.
Any new symptoms or changes? Still have morning sickness, though it went from every day to 1-2 times a week. Today I've had some weird cramps. Starts behind my belly button and moves across my back and makes me tense up. Lasts 10 seconds or less and has happened twice. Braxton Hicks? I've been super stressed the past few days so maybe that plays a part.
Rants/Raves/Questions? My boss keeps questioning how long of maternity leave I'm going to take and when I'm going to go. She's getting annoyed that I haven't given an answer yet. I'm 18w and we haven't figured it out yet! Just found out last week that my husband's factory is closing down the whole month of July and no one gets paid for it so now we are scrambling to figure out what we're going to do.
GTKY: What dessert do you order most often? Cheesecake!

Sorry you failed the glucose test but glad to hear your morning sickness is slowing down. The pain may be stress because I had similar things happen when I got super stressed out. A relaxing bath helped A LOT more than I thought it would.

Any new symptoms or changes? Energy is waning again, but other than that I'm good!
