1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 16w tomorrow
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Tired. It seems we have ANOTHER virus running through. Nips are super super sore and DD2s breastfeeding yoga is not helpful. Finally bumpin' after having a flat stomach forever.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? More tired. Less achy so far.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? Jealous of all the people who's energy is rebounding.
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? Ok, so...we went out to a local restaurant after church. Some people from church saw us and invited us to sit with them and since we were trying to be nonchallant about the whole dating thing, we did...and mostly ignored them. It wasn't until we were getting ready to leave and mentioned we drove together that they figured it out. I still joke with them about being on our first date.
1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 14+ 4/ Oct 21
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? AFter 8 days , MS came back. I definitely have a meat aversion this pregnancy. Chicken seems to be okay though. Mmmm could go for some fried chicken for lunch.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? PITA
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? We're going on a 5 week holiday to Hawaii and USA when I'll be 6 months with a 2 year old. Am I ducking crazy?
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? We had a huge 16hour date. It started off as breakfast then we went to the amusement park and then we grabbed lunch. We ended up talking for ages right up into the night.
@shan24 hand holding for the results @purplestarz I got weighed last Friday at the hospital and I was a good 2.5lbs heavier than I expected. Different scales?? Now I'm too scared to look at the next one because I thought I had kept 1st tri at zero gain.
@mrs_fogue DD has been super interested in the potty and had been peeing and pooping in the potty sporadically before we started. She would also come over to me and tell me Mama pee pee or pooh pooh if she went in the diaper. If my friends with older kids were over and DD saw them using the potty, she would grab mt hand and pull me into the bathroom and tell me Pooh pooh. She would then sit down and poop.
@buttercream_frosting your date stresses me out. I eat like a bird on the first few dates. I'm hungry thinking about 16 hours on a piece of toast and ice cube.
1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 14+ 1/Oct 24
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? My appetite is out of control.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? The same!
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? Seriously, cannot stop eating. And I'm traveling so it's not healthy food. Today I've eaten donuts, a croissant, a cubano sandwich, tacos, and a freaking cinnamon pretzel. I need to find a vegetable.
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? We went on a bike ride and then out to a bar.
1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 15 weeks 3 days- October 15th 2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Umm...RLP off and on, still exhausted, and I feel like I might be starting to feel movement but not 100% sure. 3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? About the same...feeling much better nausea/stomach wise than I did in the first tri but picked up 2 night shifts that involved me being up for the majority of 24 hours 4) Rant/Rave/Questions? We'll find out the sex next week at my 16 week cervical check and DD2 is insistent it's a boy, DD1 really wants another sister. So basically, someone is going to be mad at me next week. 5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? Ha! So funny story...we met at a summer camp where we were paired up to counsel 8th graders together and neither of us had done it before. We were supposed to be working with an experienced counselor who cancelled last minute, so that whole first week was interesting. But our first official "date" was him driving down with me to a Carrie Underwood concert last minute, 3 hours away from my house, like 5 from his. We drove all that way to find out the tickets were sold out and we wound up going to a drive-in to see one of the Harry Potter movies. lol...kind of a huge fail but it's a funny story.
2. The bleeding mention in the weekly random thread, still feeling sick here and there, but getting my energy back. Slowly.
3. Worse than last time, but I had it so easy with my son.
4. Just relieved my appointment went well today. I work with amazing coworkers who stepped up to cover my patients so I could leave for a couple hours. And you all are awesome!
5. We went to dinner and a movie. Pretty boring, but not much to do in the winter when it's freezing out and you live in a smaller town.
@buttercream_frosting your date stresses me out. I eat like a bird on the first few dates. I'm hungry thinking about 16 hours on a piece of toast and ice cube.
HAHAHA! DH has a story he loves telling everyone from our third date; I totally asked if i could finish his dessert!
1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 14 weeks 10/26. PEACE OUT FIRST TRI 2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Headaches, staring to get lower back pain
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Pretty much exactly the same
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? Just found out a girl at work is due 6 days after me. It's exciting bc we both also have girls that were born in August of 15 BUT my boss is freaking out bc only 4 of us work in our office so literally half of us will be on maternity leave at the same time so she's trying to be stingy with leave
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? We were super young, 17 and 18 and met at a mutual friends party and hung out all night. I didn't want to give him the time of day bc he was younger. Nothing romantic
1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 16 weeks, 3 days 2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Like many are saying, the bump is out. Otherwise I am doing well. 3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Same - I think. I have a bad memory for that sort of thing. I know with my twin pregnancy the (actually very painful) braxton hicks started at about 17-18 weeks, so that is something I won't miss. 4) Rant/Rave/Questions? Still not really announcing this pregnancy. The folks who see me regularly know, but other than that I am still keeping my lips sealed. Even when I have been like "I really want to tell that person", I back out of the conversation. This week my issue is fear that someone will overreact to the fact that this is baby #4. Really, DH and I can handle, so it is nbd.
5) GTKY: What did you do on your first date with your DH/SO? We went cowboy hat shopping because our first "official" date was the following weekend to a Kenny Chesney concert and I had nothing.
*Siggy warning - loss mentioned* Preemie ID DDs; then DS; then natural M/C; now due 10/17 High risk for pre-term: weekly Makena injections
@mrs_fogue Every kiddo is different. I have some friends who PT'ed their kiddos because they were simply tired of changing diapers and just did it. They had success with their kiddos!
