Re: STM+ Check In | 4.26.17
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Still mostly good. Getting a little sore from having to lay on the floor in the toddler's room every effing night. Need to either find my wrist brace or buy a new one because they are starting to ache now too. Still some mild headaches. Also started experiencing some lightning crotch already.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Virtually the same.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? I really need to start being more mindful of my caffeine intake. Nothing is wrong but I was thinking about it last night and I'm probably getting more than the recommended amount on some days.
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? We were supposed to go out with some friends to a movie. Instead we got a flat tire, were late to said movie (and it was the last showing) so we ended up going to a live music place instead!

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
headaches every day, but other than that, I'm doing OK.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
it's easier and harder in its own way. I don't have frequent heartburn (yet) and I had it my entire pregnancy with each of my other kids. So I appreciate that. Headaches are the same as the other ones.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions?
we announced on fb yesterday, so I'm glad to finally have it completely out in the open!
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO?
so we hung out two or three times before officially going on a date. But we went to a movie with our friends, who happen to be brother and sister. We saw PS I Love You and it was fun to make them sit through it with us lol
15 weeks yesterday! Due 10/17
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
Pretty decent, finally.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
This is the second trimester I know and love
4) Rant/Rave/Questions?
None right now
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO?
Love these GTKY questions! We had a bit of a whirlwind romance over the course of one week working a special event in Nashville before I had to go home for the summer, so depending on what you consider our first date, we either went to lunch at Panera (the day after we met) or went to see a local production of Guys & Dolls at a fancy theater (after I got back from summer break)
1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 14w6d 10-19
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Heartburn/indigestion started last night, RLP and extra bathroom breaks. But I'll gladly trade these 2nd tri symptoms for the 1st any day!
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Just all earlier than the last
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? I have to wait 8 more weeks before our anatomy scan.
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO?
I guess our real first night out he took me to BWW where his buddy's band was playing, with all of his frat brothers and their gf's. It was a great time until his twin showed up. They are not identical but I didn't know that and played an evil trick on me. He "went to the bathroom" but came right back, I gave him a kiss and then he was like "wow wait a minute, I'm *other brother.* Everyone laughed because they all knew it was really DH but I was over in the corner red and embarrassed.
@mrs_fogue 8 more weeks?!! That's not cool, I'm so sorry.
1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 14w3d 10/22
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Feeling much better than I have the last few weeks, some heartburn and RLP but like most of you, I'll take that over nausea any day!
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Definitely more intense than the last time, I had it easy my first pregnancy.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? All last weekend was spent celebrating my DH's and my DS's birthdays, parties went great and I didn't wear myself out too bad. And this weekend is our anniversary so hopefully I feel up for doing something fun
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO?
Our first date was more like a first date weekend, I was living in Seattle at the time and he was living in California. He came to visit me but had told me he was coming to visit family, which he did have family there but I was his reason for coming but I didn't know that at the time. We went for dinner and drinks the first night he was there, which was technically our first date. And we spent the rest of the weekend going to movies, hiking, going on a ferry ride, etc.
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? I'm finally feeling human again!! No more nausea or exhaustion, I'm off B6 and Unisom. This is definitely the honeymoon stage of pregnancy. I'm just jungry 27/7, LOL
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? It's been about the same I think.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? I'm still kicking myself that I got rid of my favorite bigger rack bra. The girls are huge again and I'm gonna have to go shopping bc the few I have left aren't cutting it anymore
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? Hmmmmm.... We'd been friends for a few years at this point and hung out pretty regularly, but things changed after going out for drinks with friends (we were in college). We ended up running back to his car in the middle of a tropical storm (for real). 3-4 blocks away. That's when we knew this was it.
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Great, actually. Heartburn is on point!
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Pretty much the same.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? I NEED TO GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! Today is day 3 of potty training DD. She is totally rocking it and hasn't had an accident since early in day 1. However, I need to be outside, with people, and talking about anything other then pee pee and pooh pooh. We're venturing out today for a little errand, but I'm sure I'll be a nervous wreck.
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? We went out for breakfast after he finished an overnight shift. We also took a little stroll on the beach. It was cute! ❤
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Tired. Still nauseous all the time but the Diclectin seems to be helping.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? I wasnt sick at all with my first so this is all new. Im also showing a lot sooner this time around. With my first I didnt start showing until the 5 month mark.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? Trying to hide the baby bump from my co-workers is becoming harder & harder. Im having to get creative with my wardrobe.
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? We went mudding in his Jeep. So much fun!
15+4, 10/14
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
Hungry all the time. Oh and yesterday DH goes, "you're at that point where, I know you're pregnant, but other people might just think you've gained weight" then he back peddles and goes, "but you're still skinny on top! Actually, no, you look pregnant. People will know" *eye roll* Thanks, buddy.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
I don't remember being this hungry. It's also funny how "less aware" of being pregnant I am. I never know how many weeks I am when people ask and have to really think about it. Last time I would know instantly. Things like that. I guess it's just not as big of a deal this time around haha
4) Rant/Rave/Questions?
I haven't weighed myself in a couple of weeks and honesty, I'm scared to now because of how hungry I've been lately!
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO?
Haha, well, he invited me over for waffles for breakfast and to watch Boy Meets World. We had been chatting on AIM (lol...) for a couple of weeks after we had met. Somehow old TV shows had come up in conversation. I think we had also talked about favorite breakfast foods. So I went over to his place for breakfast (and legit almost didn't knock on the door because I was so nervous). He had a full spread of waffle topping and yes, we watched boy meets world. We also watched a lot of other things because I was there for over 12 hours. My two roommates knew I was going on a date with someone they had never met and freaked out when I was gone so long. I had stupidly left my cell phone in my car the whole damn day and had a bazillion missed calls. They called my best friend and the three of them started calling people looking for me and even started calling hospitals. They eventually got in touch with one of DHs friends (through another friend of a friend) who came over to the house, found us snuggling on the couch, and told me what was going on. My friends were pretty mad at me that day since they thought I was dead, but it's pretty funny now and still comes up in conversation time and again. It was even in their speeches at my wedding.

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? I think ive begun the entry into 2nd tri energy burst. Im finding that im awake after lunch and not needing a nap. I think i also am starting to have a sensitivity to gagging on anything these days.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Pretty much the same.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? On Friday we got the maternit21 test results back - twins are good thankfully and we found out that 1 of em is a boy! So we have 1 if each so far ... We are dying to see what the ither twin will be. I mostly wanna know because ifnits a boy, then i need to start giving away her clothes since we wont need em. Guess we will find out in about 7 weeks. Hoping it flies by!
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? It was a blind date at the nearby pool place. I tried to be all like smooth and like i knew what i was doing - don't think it worked tho. I suck at pool. Lol.

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? dizzy, tired, feel like i am 8 months pregnant if i am on my feet for too long.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? feels a little more intense. nothing to write home about though.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? just that i hate people. and DD2 has had a cold and her cough is so pathetic at night i keep letting her sleep with us...which is a terrible idea.
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? we were casual at first. i was in another relationship (long distance, i was going to break up with him but didnt have the nerve yet). i went over to his house one night and told my dad i was going to my girlfriends (didn't want him to think i was a ho fo sho). it was raining so my dad called me and told me to stay and sleep at my friends. i hung up and looked at H and was like uhhh i guess i am sleeping here. we spooned but no kissing bc i am not a ho fo sho obvi. the next week i dumped my boyfriend and H took me to the olive garden. we totes made out. i miss newly dating make out seshs.

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Feeling pretty great and looking huge
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? The same, now that I'm out of first tri and feeling better.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? I have an appointment this afternoon, and I'll get to schedule my anatomy scan then. So I'm super excited about that.
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? Well, we met on a night of college drinking, so our first several hang outs were at the bar, at house parties, at one of our places, etc. Classy, I know. The first real date that I can remember was a brewery tour with some of his friends. He has several "best friends" that happen to be girls, and this was my first time meeting and hanging out with them - super intimidating. After the brewery tour just the two of us went out for burgers. The place also serves baskets of popcorn. The only thing I can really remember is that DH was shoveling handfuls of popcorn in his mouth and it was pretty disgusting, lol. I'm the kind of person that eats popcorn one piece at a time.
I know I should do it soon tho, like way before baby #3 arrives. Gotta get crackin'!
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good. I had some cervix pain last night, probably RLP (apparently it can cause that), but I'm going to ask about it at my appointment tomorrow. Heartburn is getting worse -- this is about the same time it got bad with DD too.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? For the most part it's been really similar.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? Ugh to pregnancy dreams. I went from having a really good dream to the worst dream I could imagine right now last night. @beezeemarie So exciting, I schedule mine at my appointment tomorrow!
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? We were 15/16, technically I guess we went to a high school basketball game haha. Usually we just hung out at my house. We are from a small town, so there really wasn't much to do. That was almost 13 years ago
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? mainly just dizzy and nauseated all the time
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? still solidly in the middle of the two prior pregnancies
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? I neeeed 5/2 (my next appointment and US) to hurry up and get here!
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? At the time I was living in Los Angeles and he was living in San Diego, so we met halfway-ish in Long Beach, and took a ferry out to Catalina for the day. That would have been a terrrrrrrible idea for a first date if it didn't work out (who wants to be stuck on an island with someone they don't click with all day?!). Luckily, we had an amazing time and it felt like we had been together for a really long time. I was already thinking he was "the one" before that date (which was totally unlike me) and then after the date I was positive.

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Tiredness has come back slightly, but I think its the weather. It has been so gray and dreary here lately. Doesnt help my mood one bit. Still getting a nauseated stomach every once in a while. Usually midday/early evening. It isnt every day thank goodness.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? With my girls it was puking until 12 weeks and then everything was honky dory. Im still experiencing some MS whenever it feels like coming S, and Im also pretty sure I had more heartburn at this point with the girls than I do now. I do have the burps still pretty bad. That I never had with them either.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? I just want to feel this baby moooovvveeee! My Doppler is on the USPS truck being delivered today! Mail usually comes at 3. I am very excited!
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? We went to see The Hulk back in 2003.Afterwards we went to Starbucks and sat and talked for what felt like forever and not enough all at the same time.

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
Back aches and RLP but other than that, feeling pretty awesome (finally Hallelujah!)
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
So far 2nd trimester feels pretty much the same.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions?
Rant 1: Had my early GD test today, fingers crossed we're all good for that!
Rant 2: Grabbed bagels after the appointment to bring home for DH + DD and the ladies asked me how far along i am. I didn't think it was noticeable yet!! I felt dumb saying 4 months. Who gets asked if they're pregnant at 4 months.
Rave: I'm still 4 lbs under my weight at the first appointment at 7 weeks. Hoping this is a sign i can keep my weight in check this time around
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO?
We were casual friends in college. A few years after graduation he messaged me on myspace (LOL) to hang out so we each brought a friend or two to meet up for drinks in the city. MANY shots of tequila later, we were making plans to hang out again and making out at the bar (embarrassing but youth is funny like that hahah). I think our second date was just hanging out, watching a hockey game at home.
14+5
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
Headaches. It's ridiculous how painful they are.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
This one is a completely different ball game.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions?
nada
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO?
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? HUNGRY. These last few days have been crampy/sore uterus. It gets so sore to the touch.. I think it's from stretching as it comes and goes every couple weeks. Vericose veins like it's my job.. both vulvar and legs. Other than that.. pretty decent!
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Polar opposite.. plus all of the things that are similar are happening way earlier
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? 3 weeks today is my anatomy and gender scan! Hurry. Up.
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? We went to dinner and a drive-in movie and it started pouring halfway through. It was a super boring movie anyways. Pretty riveting stuff! However, today is our wedding anniversary!

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 15+3 Oct 15
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? lots of rlp and some lightning crotch. Dizzy spells, too
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? So, so much worse. I had it easy with DS
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? I had bloodwork done last week to determine whether I caught fifths disease from my son and I haven't gotten the results back yet. I forgot to ask when they'd be back and I'm anxious to find out.
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? I don't think we really had a first date. We met in university, where we worked together and we're quite close friends. Went our separate ways and about 10 years later ran into each other while I was on vacation in my hometown. We talked for weeks and then decided he should move to be with me. He did and that was that, I guess. We've been together for 10 years now, so I guess it was the right decision! Lol
