Re: STM Check In | 4.12.17
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? The symptom train is definitely rolling along. I've started having hip pains and rib pains. I forgot how much the rib pain sucked. I've also had a constant drip from my nose which has to be pregnancy related.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Pretty much on par with the last.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Rave - everyone knows about this pregnancy now so I no longer have to hide behind baggy t-shirts and can start wearing my cute maternity tops and dresses.
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? Cleaning the bathroom!
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? I feel glorious and loving every second.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Second tri was the best last time and it looks like it's heading that way again. Thank goodness.
Rant/Rave/Questions? We're attempting to put DD on a full size mattress tonight (and get her out of the sleeping bag on the floor, which she is currently obsessed with). I might be singing the sleep blues with all y'alls tomorrow.
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? Putting away clothes. I don't mind laundry. Just hate putting clothes on hangers and putting them away. I'd rather clean every toilet in the state.
BFP#3: 2/9/13 EDD 10/18/17. Team Green for Round 2!
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Still some headaches occasionally but feeling pretty good. Finally on the other side of the first tri fatigue fog.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Still nearly identical at this point, other than showing faster (I think my belly is about where I was at 19-20 weeks with DS).
Rant/Rave/Questions? Would love for DS to sleep now that I'm starting to feel a bit more human.
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? Mowing the yard. Luckily DH does this. Second least favorite would be folding laundry. Doing the laundry and putting it away, no problem. Hate folding.

How far along are you/when is your due date? 11w1d/Oct 31
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? RLP is horrible at night when trying to sleep, which leads to my exhaustion. Nausea has gone away, but food aversions are still a thing. I've been living off Taco Bell and ice cream (with marshmallow cream)
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? This week I feel like I am on par with my last pregnancy.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I'm patiently waiting for the genetic/gender testing results phone call. It has only been a week, but every time my phone rings I get excited.
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? I hate cleaning in general, but I absolutely hate cleaning the bathrooms.
ETA: Due date (because I cannot read)
I only do toilets though. I hate showers and bathtubs.
BFP#3: 2/9/13 EDD 10/18/17. Team Green for Round 2!
Luckily, DH is so particular about how his lawn looks that he'd never let me mow in a million years. No complaints here. I'll just stay inside and fix me some sweet tea

15+3/Oct.1st
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? MS has pretty much gone. I've been battling headaches/migraines for the past week that won't go away for good. It's really taking a toll on me. My energy is back up though, when I do manage get a couple hour break from the headaches. RLP started weeks ago, so that's lovely when I stand up too fast or roll over in bed. I am feeling more movement though now, so that's super exciting!
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? super frequent headaches are normal for me until about half way through 2nd trimester, so nothing new there. I usually have horrible heartburn the entire pregnancy, but so far I've only had it a handful of times and it's nowhere as stubborn as previous pregnancies. I'm hoping this stays this way!
Rant/Rave/Questions?
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? all of them? Lol probably laundry. It's literally an every day chore with 3 kids, one of which changes clothes twice daily, if not more and the toddler insists on new clothes if she so much as spills water on herself
And I hope your DS starts sleeping better for you!
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? I'm feeling a lot better than I have been, but still not great. I'm getting short bursts of energy which is nice, I just wish they'd last longer. Headaches off and on as well as some back pain.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? I think it's pretty much on par with where I was at this point last time. I hope it stays headed this way, because the second trimester can be glorious.
Rant/Rave/Questions? My mouth wants good Mexican food sooooo badly, but my stomach keeps saying no. Its depressing.
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? I'm with @sjohns08 I don't like any of them! But least favorite is cleaning the shower. I'm not even sure why, I just hate it. My husband thankfully does most of the other things that I don't like doing, laundry for example.
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Feeling great. I want to eat all the food.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Now that I'm feeling better, pretty similar. But my belly is showing up a lot earlier this time. My bump now is equivalent to about 22 weeks last time around.
Rant/Rave/Questions? None that I can think of.
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? All of them! Honestly, I have it pretty easy as DH usually does a lot of the bigger chores. The worst is probably sweeping, because our entire house is hardwood and we have 2 dogs, so there's so much hair everywhere. I also hate dusting, because it grosses me out.
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? MS has subsided and has been replaced with ridiculous RLP. This didnt start till SO much later last pregnancy.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? This is like my last pregnancy on steroids. WTF.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I got nothin'
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? For some reason, i really hate food shopping. I'm sure this answer will change once we move out of our townhouse and have more house to maintain.
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? they have all calmed down, except headaches are picking up. still a little tired, and little bouts of nausea. but not like it was.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? feels different but not extremely different. mostly just fatigue is more than i ever had...but i also have a toddler that doesnt sleep sooOOOOooOOooo....
Rant/Rave/Questions? rant DD2 is killing me slowly and i hope she gets better by the time the baby comes. rave saw the baby today and everything is looking good got the panorama test today so feeling really good about all the pregnancy stuff. question - anyone want a 2yo?
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? laundry i suppose. i do like to deep clean the entire house, i love the scent of bleach burning my nostril hairs when i breathe. and it is a nice little work out. but i wish i had more time to do it weekly bc i am running on an every other month cycle if i am lucky.

What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? RLP is picking up. Otherwise, not much.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Really similar.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I have my second appt next week, feels like time is dragging. I hope it's a better experience than my first appt and I also hope they let me schedule the next several appointments out so I don't get screwed on my OB being booked up.
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? I hate dealing with the kitchen compost. It gets so stinky so fast. Second is cleaning the French press.
11w2d ( due date 10/30 but due to my BP Issues will have RPC somewhere between 37-38 weeks)
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
I'm still exhausted. Nausea comes and goes and now I get headaches and nausea from loud voices/noises??? Very strange.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
This one is "worse" symptom wise. I am also starting to show and probably started showing last week.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
How are you all feeling so great and I'm not--jealous!
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing?
Everything. Im a mediocre housekeeper. We barely clean our 2 year old's toys up anymore because it will look the same the next day.
You are still smack in the first trimester and a lot of us are ahead of you and in 2nd tri or very very close. Don't worry, you'll be feeling better soon.

2. Still gagging when I brush my teeth, but I think I'm slowly feeling better overall and getting my energy back. I just wish my body wanted coffee again!
3. I'm probably feeling close to what I did around this time with my first pregnancy. I'm glad everyone is on their way to feeling better!
4. Tomorrow is appointment day!!!!! Also, is there a cut off week to travel when you have twins? I know it's 36 weeks for a singleton. I plan on asking my doc tomorrow as well, figured I would ask here since it's really my only question!
5. Steaming the floors. After vacuuming or sweeping them, the last thing I want to do is steam them. Takes forever! My friend just started her own cleaning business. I thought about having her come clean the house really good before the babies come...but then I would need to clean before she got here so I wouldn't be embarrassed!

curlyq423 so I had a dentist appointment yesterday and told my hygienist the same about me gagging every time I brush. She said that really there is no point to tooth paste except to freshen your breath and that If I just brushed with water in the mornings and then again with toothpaste later in the day when Im not nauseous that that is fine. I'm currently trying that out. My poor co-workers just have to deal with morning breath today.
Also, amen on the coffee, I tried it again on Sunday for the first time in weeks hoping I would like it again, nope!
No joke, I just found a tub full of old lotions and hygiene products buried in the bottom of our linen closet last week when I was trying to find my wrist brace. Still didn't find my brace either.

@sjohns08 We need to do some serious decluttering/donating of toys/clothes as well! Then maybe I'll consider hiring a cleaner!
I really should get my butt in gear because in a week our neighborhood is having a dumpster parked somewhere for spring cleaning. Instead, I'm sitting here trying to catch up on bumping and watching Criminal Minds.
Also went through a box last month of junk mail we just threw into the box when we were moving... 2.5 years ago. Because we totally needed to keep our old utilities bills and valupaks apparently
I started trying to sift through it a few months ago and very quickly decided, "Nope". So it's like... half done.

What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? My gag reflex is out of control. I've had a little drainage from allergies, so if I cough at all I gag. It's worse than it was in my first trimester. That't about it. I feel pretty good actually.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? I've found myself worrying MORE this time around. At this point with DD I think I was feeling pretty confident that everything was going well. This time I find myself worrying for my next appointment. Gosh, I'm still so ready for baby kicks.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Hmm, I guess not
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? Dishes! I'm currently procrastinating doing them now lol. I
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Feeling pretty great since I gave in to wearing maternity pants. I'm a whole new woman.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Similar to the last except aa other ladies have mentioned, I am showing much sooner.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? Also the shower/tub! I don't know what it is but it's just awful. I've also only mowed the lawn once in my life when DH hurt his back.
*O17 June Siggy Challenge - You had 1 job!*
10+6 due 11/2
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
I'm feeling much better nauseau wise. My exhaustion is still going strong. Also food aversions are making it difficult to find stuff to eat. Also why is RLP starting so early this time?
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
Pretty much the exact same. I had more nauseau this time and RLP didn't start until much later last time.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing?
Honestly my husband does all of the house stuff. I guess I hate putting my laundry away, but that's the only chore I do so I can't really complain.

2. feeling pregnant...I throw up every morning trying to make coffee and all refrigerators are the devil. I get headaches in gen afternoon and super tired.
3. ALmost the same as number 1 but a little more intense. I think the common groundnut between pregnancy 1 and this one is work...maybe I should just quit lol
4. Not really any at the moment
5. I clean kitchen almost everyday since I teach culinary arts and have 7 kitchens to manage so I really don't want to clean kitchens and do laundry when I get home. But I really hate to put clothes away. Wash, dry and folding isn't easy...putting them away is garbage. Hubby is a SAHD right now though so most of the laundry falls on him and cooking/cleaning kitchen. On the weekends we both manage to pick up the destruction that occurs with a 6&4 year old boys.
ETA because My phone hates me and makes up words
12+5// due 10/20
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
Fatigue still, and headaches. Overall, I feel good though. With DD, my first and second tri's were closely monitored and I was out on bedrest. Thankful it's smoother this time so far.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
Oops, I guess I should read ahead, sorry. This one isn't filled with complications like my previous pregnancy. I'm knocking on all the wood that I'm not jinxing myself.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
Nada
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing?
Dishes. I hate them with a passion
