Re: STM+ Check In | 3.1.17
2) so nauseous. I feel like it's way worse this time around but it could be because I have a toddler to take care of. I feel like I can hardly function!
3) just ready to tell our closest friends and family really soon! I've told 2 friends but not our parents or our closest couple friend which is killing me! Hopefully next week after we get a heartbeat.
Question - anybody been on zofran? Helpful? Thoughts?
4) celeb crush - MARK WAHLBERG
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Some nausea, cramping, fatigue. Still pretty similar (althought I think dairy is starting to get to me. Booooo.)
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? Just ready for my first appointment. It still doesn't feel very real to me.
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Pratt.

2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Nausea that comes and goes, fatigue and bloat. When I was pregnant with DD I was nauseous 24/7 and getting sick multiple times a day. Hoping it doesn't get to that again but it's still early.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? Looking forward to our US on Friday. Planning on telling family and close friends after that. So far I've only told my 2 best friends.
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Celebrity crush is Gerard Butler!
1. How far along are you? 8w
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? I've had some rough MS this week, especially aversion to food. I've also noticed my feet falling asleep if I sit to long which happened a lot last pregnancy. I ended up with a self diagnosed (or dad diagnosed, he's an EMT) severe sprain and torn tendon in my foot last pregnancy because I stood up and my whole leg was dead. That was embarrassing to take to our safety coordinator at work.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions?
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Ian Somerhalder, especially when he is playing a bad boy vampire.
1. How far along are you?
I am 5w5d!
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
Nausea and heartburn really bad today. Sore boobs. The usual culprits.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions?
I just want to be farther along. Not because I don't enjoy pregnancy. I REALLY do. But because I just want to tell EVERYONE. I hate trying to keep it a secret. Very nervous to tell work though. I actually just started a new job on January 11 (my previous mat leave ended January 10 - LOL), so I'm not sure how well it's going to go over.
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger?
Celebrity crush... hmmm... I'm a big Sidney Crosby fan (NHL player for those who don't know). As for a doppleganger, I had someone tell me I looked like Demi Lovato in a restaurant once. Otherwise I don't really think I have one.
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? So much nausea (24/7) and crazy food aversions. It's like I'm constantly starving and feeling like I'm about to puke at the same time. Way worse than my first pregnancy, which was pretty easy.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? Just feeling so anxious/excited/nervous for my first appointment tomorrow.
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? So many, haha. Right now I'm crushing on Mahershala Ali, with all the attention he's been getting since his oscar win. No doppelgänger for me, that I know of.
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Nausea is getting worse, it's basically all day now. My nipples are so tender, and I'm still tired all the time. All I want to eat are salads, fruit, healthy stuff. Baby doesn't like me drinking coffee anymore, bummer. So far, aside from the tiredness, this is totally different than my pregnancies with my boys.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? My midwife called and said that during the ultrasound they did at my 6wk appointment they found a cyst on my right ovary. So I get another ultrasound in 2 weeks to see if the cyst has gone down in size. So I'm a little nervous about that, but happy that I get to see my little ladybug again.
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Craig Mabbitt
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? What's the opposite of food aversion? I want to eat all the food, but only 5 bites of each thing, then onto the next thing.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? I just called insurance to find out how much genetic testing would be. I had to call three different places (insurance, doctor's office, testing company, then insurance again) and I still can't figure it out. I think it'll be $120 if it's covered or $630 if it's not. I figure with all the medical and hospital expenses we're going to meet our OOP max no matter what, so might as well do it.
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? +1 for Mahershala Ali.
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? major bloat, I feel huge even though I've lost weight over the past couple of weeks due to MS and lack of appetite. Also, my nose is sooooo sensitive, which it usually is not.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? My first appointment got rescheduled from last Friday to next Tuesday and the waiting is killing me! The good thing, though, is that the original appointment was with the nurse practitioner and my new appointment is with the OB.
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Travis Fimmel
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? super bloated. overweight bloated and miserable.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? hate the wait between the 8 and 12 week appt!!! 7-11 for me
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Ed sheeran right now that shape of you song!?!?!?! omg.
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Nausea and food aversions. Way, way worse than my first pregnancy.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? Is it over yet??
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Bradley Cooper. People tell me I look like Anne Hathaway.
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Major nausea, stays around until afternoon. I have been able to eat dinner lately which is good, but all day I struggle up until then. Fatigue. So hard entertaining and making food for a toddler.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? I'm just so miserable I hate everything. Work, people - I can't wait until this phase passes. The sun is finally out in SoCal, so i'm looking forward to sitting outside today and getting some vitamin D! We were on vacation in CO for the past week where it was snowing, and came home to rain for 2 days so I haven't seen the sun in a week!
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Tom Hardy is pretty awesome. I've heard Jennifer Love Hewitt and Penelope Cruz
2. Bloated and tired all.the.dang.time.
3. I really wish my almost 3 years old son would show interest in potty training. We've been struggling with it so I took his Thomas the Train potty chair away and told him to say bye to it so it could help other friends learn to go potty. After about a week, he asked for it today and has sat on it 3 times but won't go potty in it. He sits on the potty all the time at daycare (doesn't usually go), but hates sitting on it at home. He's so stubborn. I just don't want two kids in diapers.
4. Ryan Gosling!!!
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
Today takes the cake as far as feeling terrible. I've had all day nausea and occasional puking, but today it hasn't let up at all, plus a nasty headache on top of it. Keeping water down is hard! Sore boobs, burping, headache, difficulty sleeping, cramping here and there.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions?
Everything is harder with an almost 3 year old demanding food and fun all day. Can't blame her, poor thing. Way too much tv. I feel like a horrible mom. Thankfully my brother is coming to the rescue to hang out and play with her while I puke and rest.
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger?
Channing Tatum, so hot!
People have always said I look like Christina Ricci.
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Nausea and difficult sleeping. Right now I also have a headache.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? Not many people know that I am pregnant yet - not even our kids. We told the kids that I was pregnant in the fall, and then I had to explain to them about not being pregnant anymore and how there wouldn't be a baby. The convo actually went well, but I would prefer not to put myself in that position again. So, DH and I are tiptoeing around the issue during family conversations.
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? I like NPH. Not sure who I look like.
Preemie ID DDs; then DS; then natural M/C; now due 10/17
High risk for pre-term: weekly Makena injections
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? I am feeling more tired this week. Nausea comes and goes. I was full blown sick with both my girls so I'm doing much better this go around.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? Rant: I feel burnt out. Between work, my girls dance schedule , and home chores I'm spent. Rave: grateful I feel as well as I do.
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Crush - Joe Manganiello. Doppleganger- Not sure people tell me Kiera Knigtly.
Oct. '17 June S.C. "You Had 1 Job"
2) Symptoms: So. Much. Worse. Pregnancy #1 I was just occasionally tired. This time around I'm EXHAUSTED, like napping anytime I get a free sec. I'm nauseous, all day, every day. My boobs are so hard and sore. And everything makes me cry. Everything.
3) Rants/Raves/Questions? If we could get into the second trimester...thaaaaaaat'd be great.
4) Celebrity Crushes: Gerard Butler, Justin Timberlake, Mark Wahlberg, Nick Jonas, but most of all...Zac Efron.
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Physically, they're pretty similar. My heartburn is worse this time. But, my temper is so short and I end up mad at DS too often. It makes me feel terrible.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? I'm fairly certain that my edd based on my lmp is wrong, but no one will believe me. I've had two doctors now tell me a dating ultrasound is unnecessary. I should have lied and told them I couldn't remember when I got my period.
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Ryan Reynolds is my celebrity crush. I don't think I have a doppelgänger now, but as a kid I looked like Candace Cameron.
1. How far along are you?
6+5
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
Nausea and fatigue ALL DAY LONG. Food aversions.
This pregnancy is completely different from my prior pregnancies, though food aversion has already kicked in; perhaps other symptoms are just delayed.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions?
Rave: get to see baby for first time on Friday!
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger?
Im an odd duck and actually don't have a celebrity crush. Nor do I have A doppelgänger that I'm aware of...
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Up until today I've been ridiculously exhausted and nauseated. I've napped nearly every day for the last two weeks, plus went to bed early. Today I actually made it through the day without wanting a nap and haven't been nauseated! It's been a nice change of pace. I think I've had more/longer lasting nausea this go around. It feels like less energy too. It's been 4 years since my last pregnancy though, so it's hard to say. I told DH there may just be twins in there. He just tells me to hush lol.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? First ultrasound TOMORROW! Yay. It's not until 3:30, so I'm sure it will be the longest day ever.
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Hmm, I'm going to go with Ryan Reynolds too! I don't think I have a doppelgänger though.
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? I got really sick with all typical pregnancy symptoms and a high fever for about 2 days during implantation (I just knew that was why as I NEVER get sick). But now I don't really feel anything at all. Maybe tiredness... but I'm a caffeine addict and cutting down is the more likely cause of that. Sometimes I feel lower abdominal flutters, especially when lying down. I only heave when I change my daughter's soaked pull ups in the morning and catch a whiff of it or when I clean her up after a poo on the potty...It's almost every time, but there are times I'm not affected by it. I can mostly breathe through it.
I guess I should be grateful for this lack of symptoms since I was sick to the point I couldn't keep anything down during my first 2 pregnancies (only 1 carried to term and the morning sickness lasted until the 5th month). I couldn't even keep down water with those pregnancies..but I also find the lack of symptoms annoying because it leaves me worrying about whether or not everything is ok in there.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions?
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? hmmm.. I have many. Ryan Reynolds and Jose Pasillas II (drummer of the band Incubus) are definitely my top 2!
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Some Most of my symptoms are clearing up, except fatigue. So far its going better than myvfirst preg2.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? So I went to my first doctors appointment but my first ultrasound isnt until the 22nd
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Liam Hemsworth is so freaking sexy
2. Still ridiculously tired after 4pm and totally useless around the house. DH is very helpful with DS.
3. Anyone ever had slightly elevated T4 numbers? I guess it's a thyroid thing but I've never had it until the blood test results came back
4. Celeb crush: Theo James *drool*
Celeb doppelgänger: I've been told I look like Jennifer Lawrence. That would be nice haha
BFP#1: 9/9/2014 DS born 4/7/15
BFP#2: 6/16/2016 MC/D&C: 7/29/2016
BFP#3: 10/14/2016 (fingers crossed for a sticky bean)
2. Nauseous, exhausted, headaches here and there, bloating isn't as extreme as it has been the past couple weeks.
3. Thank goodness for Reglan and for it making me feel pretty close to normal today. I got errands run and tons of work done. I was given Diclegis but I seriously couldn't stay awake the two mornings after I took it this week. Can't have that with a toddler at home
4. Celeb crush would be Zac Efron. Hands down. Omg I feel like a ridiculous, giddy teenage girl all over again whenever I watch one of his movies.
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Feeling nauseated and really tired. I don't remember being this nauseated or it was easily fixed eating apricots and tart fruit all day.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? When will my kid STTN?!?!?!??!
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Blake Lively
**June Siggy Challenge: You Had ONE Job!**
LO#2 EDD October 18th
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? I feel pretty awful actually!
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? Anyone know where I can get Ginger supplements? Didn't find it at the pharmacy. Nurse said I should take 550mg a day for the nausea!
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity doppelgänger? I've been told I look like Daisy Ridley. Actually with our profiles I can kind of see it! Can't say I mind the comparison at all!
***EDIT*** Also meal planning is a nightmare feeling this way, someone help!
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? I'm exhausted and hungry all the time! Exhaustion is worse this go round. Hunger is about the same. With DD I didn't have any MS or sore boobs either. Only heartburn that started around 17 weeks. Heartburn started way earlier this time so that's lovely.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? nope
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? don't think I have a doppelganger, crushes though... I've got those! Chris Evans and Chris Pratt! Bet DH wishes he never would have introduced me to his comic book movies haha!
I am exhausted. I ditched work and slept for 3 hours today. Today I'm pretty crabby haha I feel bloated and already look pregnant so I also feel very self conscious. I'm hungry and have cravings during the day but nothing ever sounds good for dinner. Yay 1st trimester!! One thing I haven't had much of but did with DS was headaches so I'm glad those seem to be at bay.
This pregnancy was a surprise and we are really glad because, although its sooner than we would have hoped (DS is only 13 months tomorrow....), it took us a year and a half the first time so this is a welcomed surprise.
Celebrity crush is definitely Kit Harington at the moment. Gotta love Jon Snow❤
I am queasy but other than that good. A bit on the emotional side, hopefully that passes soon. About the same as the last four, with my DS I was throwing up to deliver day.
have to wait another week before we see the dr. Longest week ever!!!
Crush- John Cusack
Doppelgänger- my students would say Adele
**June Siggy Challenge: You Had ONE Job!**
LO#2 EDD October 18th
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? I wouldn't say I'm nauseous...I just don't feel well. Nothing ever sounds good to eat and I'm just tired always. I remember the food aversions from last pregnancy, but it seems much worse this time! I do think a lot of it has to do with having to take care of a toddler at the same time.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? First ultrasound on Tuesday! Can't wait!
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Chris Pratt or Chris Pine. Don't think I have a doppelgänger!
*O17 June Siggy Challenge - You had 1 job!*
I am 8 weeks tomorrow!
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
I broke out on my face and chest, did not happen last time, very sleepy, and starting to get tender breasts...no MS yet! Last time I was sick the entire first trimester...I never really lost weight after first baby, actually put on more!
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Nausea and vomiting. Fatigue. I had nausea and vomiting with DS as well but it started earlier this time around and is stronger. I don't remember being this tired with DS. Then again, it's 2:30am and I'm currently sitting in DS's room because he won't sleep. Ah. The mystery is solved lol
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? I need sleep!!!! This is night 3 of DS having some major separation anxiety. Plus I have a cold. Plus I'm pregnant (duh). This momma needs some sleep!!
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Crush is Shane West (drool). As a teenager I wanted to marry Landon Carter (a walk to remember)
Edit: because words are hard
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? So far it seems like this pregnancy has been a little easier. I haven't thrown up once and I'm not having to wear my seabands all the time like I did last pregnancy. But I have been having more rl pain to the point it's almost concerning.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? This pregnancy was an oops, and still got pregnant after taking the morning after pill, so completely unexpected, and because of that my husband is almost acting like he won't even seem happy until we're in the "all clear" area after 12 weeks. But on the Yay front it made him go out and get a different job like I've been telling him to since he started working at his crappy job in November.
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Definitely Gerard Butler (Phantom of the Opera, was obsessed with that movie for a while because of him), or Ryan Reynolds, as for doppleganger I have no idea.
2. What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? A bit of nausea here and there, some food aversions and a bit more tired than usual. This is almost exactly how my first pregnancy went.
3. Rant/Rave/Questions? My two year old doesn't like it when I lay on the couch and it's driving me crazy, but overall things are good.
4. GTKY: Who is your celebrity crush? And/or who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Benedict Cumberbatch for sure. I love doctor strange!
