Re: STM+ Check In | 4.19.17

  • @mrs_fogue @jessafishy Okay, good to know I'm not missing some inherent "mom gene," haha! In the meantime, if anyone develops feelings about my baby, I would love to hear them! :D We aren't even announcing publicly until we know the gender this time, so I feel like I'm missing out on the whole "wisdom of the crowd" thing.

    Apparently 3,4 & 5 were lame because they didn't post lol. Rants/Raves--> Acne on my back! So frustrating!
  • @lemonlyman FWIW I was positive DD was a boy, for no particular reason other than "intuition" and I was obviously wrong. No strong feelings one way or the other with this one.

  • I am 14+4 today, due date is October 14. I am have SPD already and lots of RLP. Not to mention anxiety because my last pregnancy that carried to term was 11+ years ago with (TW) two losses after that pregnancy.
     
    Also, I was team I hate boy bands lol...rock girl all the way right here. 

  • 1) How far along are you/when is your due date?
    12+2, due 10/30

    2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? better, I was actually hungry today which is an improvement. I have been struggling getting comfortable sleeping and need to gather extra pillows, but don't think about it until the middle of the night. 

    3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? it is very similar to my last one making me think we will be having another girl

    4) Rant/Rave/Questions? I may have felt flutters earlier this week

    5) GTKY: Were you Team N'Sync or Team Backstreet Boys? (Or Team I Hate Boy Bands?)
    if I really had to pick it would be N'sync, but I can't say I cared much for either of them.

  • @lola4411. Dd1 was excited right away.  I'm not sure dd2 fully understands yet although she did lift up my shirt and say "baby in dere" at an awkward time.  With dd1 we're doing a chart where she puts a sticker on each week to count down the weeks and we watch little videos and read about what parts of baby are growing.  She knows baby is the size of a peach and will point at peaches and say "that's how big the baby is."  Depends how old your LO is.  After our anatomy scan we'll probably let them pick out an outfit or a toy for the baby...stuff like that.

  • @Boobopgirl those are great ideas thanks!

  • @hsteph0426 Yes, thats the same thing. But I would look up maternity compression pants/tights, I know they make those too. 


  • @lola4411 How old is your LO? My son just turned 2 and he kind of gets it. He knows there's a "baby in mama's tummy" and he'll point at it and say "baby in there?" Beyond that, I'm not sure he grasps what it really means.

    The only kid I have had feelings about gender wise was my first and I was sure he was a boy.  DH has called both of the girls and said this one is a girl too, but I'm starting to feel a boy vibe.  We will have to wait and see!

    ETA: The big kids were so excited when we told them about the new baby since they distinctly remember when #3 was born.  The youngest really doesn't get it, but loves carrying around baby dolls so I hope she will take to the new baby well

  • @sdarling2010 that sounds like an AMAZING elective ultrasound!
        



  • 1. 12 weeks 4 days

    2. Feeling pretty good. Just bloated and tired. 

    3. I feel I'm close to what I felt the last time. Just some more aches and pains earlier on. 

    4. I want to rant about this app. It wouldn't log in for me for 3 days on my phone and was acting dumb. Plus working a million hours on top of it, I feel so out of the loop. Sigh....

    5. I would listen to them both back in the day, but really didn't have a preference. 
  • @sdarling2010 Now that's an elective ultrasound I might be able to talk myself into. 

    @ksf13 Thanks for updating us about your grandpa, that's awesome news!

    TMI -- What's the deal?! I've thrown up TWO mornings this week (dry heaving for like 5 minutes straight), both times were terrible! I still think it has to do with my gag reflex, but ugh! I hope this isn't becoming a regular thing. 

    Also an update from yesterday, my grandfather is doing well! He had a "widow maker" heart attack (100% blockage in his LAD artery), but they were able to get a stent in and he is doing well today. His doctors say it's a miracle that he is alive right now and are impressed with how well he is doing. We have gotten to FaceTime a couple of times. Now I'm really ready for our trip home next month! 
    Yeah the overactive gag reflex is still ridiculous her too.  I tried to take my allergy medicine because our whole neighborhood is blooming this week and...nope.

  • I thought of another thing with preparing big kids for baby.  Especially toward the end, I start carrying a baby doll around myself an being like," hang on a second, I have take care of the baby first" or I wear it in the Moby wrap or pretend to nurse it to start getting the kids used to waiting for my attention.  I feel really silly doing it but DD1 was only 19 months when DD2 was born and I think it helped her understand a little better what having a baby would mean.

  • 1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 15w2d / Oct. 10th
    2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Nausea is mostly gone, yay! Fatigue is getting better, but the occasional insomnia and just not good sleep doesn't help.
    3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? First trimester was a little worse this time and I definitely wasn't this tired for so long last time last time, but I'm sure that's mostly due to keeping up with a toddler. 
    4) Rant/Rave/Questions? Finally told my family this weekend which was so much fun and worked out perfectly
    5) GTKY: Were you Team N'Sync or Team Backstreet Boys? (Or Team I Hate Boy Bands?) I was definitely an N'Sync fan

  • 1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 15+6 / oct 6th due date

    3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? now that i feel like a human, this feels pretty similar to the first time around

    4) Rant/Rave/Questions? nada

    5) GTKY: Were you Team N'Sync or Team Backstreet Boys? (Or Team I Hate Boy Bands?) Team HANSON! Oh yeah, I said it #sorrynotsorry
