April Siggy Challenge Social Distancing
Re: Due Date Check-in July 1-7 (11/2)
Symptoms: small waves of nausea randomly. Super tired today. Peeing a lot.
Appointments: confirmation Sono scheduled 11.27.17 at 9 weeks.
R/R: i just wish I had more symptoms! Lol. I'm a little nervous after 3 previous losses.
GTKY: As soon as I saw the BFP, I thought that I would find a cool way to tell my SO... but then he called and I started crying... so told him right away over the phone. Lol
7/3/18 size of a lavender bud
I have to pee a lot but that’s pretty much it. I surprised to learn this is a normal early symptom and only thought it was later on haha
Yes I go in 11/27 to meet with our nurse and we will most likely do a dating ultrasound since I had to have one with DD due to irregular periods
I’m excited but nervous but working on remaining optimistic.
nope
I called and told him couldn’t wait to do any cute thing
7/7 but my cycles range 28-32 days so it may get pushed back a day or so.
dating ultrasound scheduled for 11/20. Excited to get that done before thanksgiving so we can tell our immediate families.
WHY am I so emotional!!! I find myself getting irritated or upset much quicker these days, so frustrating!
I bought my son a best bro ever t-shirt on our way home the day I confirmed with 937391010 pregnancy tests. We just walked in the house as if nothing was going on and waited for DH to notice! He was shocked but not too shocked as we were trying this go around, with DS that was a complete shock and I didn't tell him in any cute way so was excited to be able to do something this time!
July 3rd, in theory. Appleseed? Or peppercorn?
Next Wednesday I have my first US. I don't know why my OB was insistent on seeing me at six weeks, when two months ago she was like "any time between 6 and 10 is fine! How about 8?" Maybe because of the loss? Still, it feels too early to see anything. I'm afraid there won't be anything to see and I'll freak out. I lost at 7 weeks last time and didn't get to see the baby, so I'm hoping seeing something will put my mind at ease.
Stranger things 2 gets my rave! SO GOOD!
I texted him. So boring! A month and a half earlier I got a faint line and did the whole thing. A big sis shirt for my daughter, a cake that said "Im totally pregnant!" Then it didn't end up sticking. This time I got a faint ghost of a line and told him I was going to get a blood draw to be sure. The next day I got the call, and I texted him right after. To be fair, we'd had an argument the night before and I was still mad. So we're gonna have a do-over celebration after we see the baby. If we see the baby.
@lindsayleigh1989@kinslersmom I did the same thing with my first! I burst out crying from the flood of emotions and called him hysterically. At least I told him to come home so I could tell him in person. Poor guy! Gets a crying, hysterical call from his wife in the middle of the day: "Come home! NOW! Yes, I know what time it is! Just get here NOW!"
July 7, I guess baby is approximately the size of a chia seed or something like that
How are you feeling?
Meh. I’ve had some nausea which is new for me. Also some cramping that’s irritating but not super painful. Also, I’m kind of ragey which is lovely.
Appointments:
Our office does a visit with a nurse first and then a week later the first visit with a doctor, so I have my nurse visit on the 27th and my doctor visit on Dec 2 I think. Feels so far away
R/R:
I’ve been kind of freaking out about having a 3rd baby. I’m excited and we wanted this, but it’s still nerve-wracking. It’s making my anxiety twitch a little
GTKY:
I didn’t tell my husband in a special way. He was out hunting and I woke up ultra early because I couldn’t not pee any longer and took a test. I just sent him a text with a picture in it. I’m so lame.
Tired as a MF. My pulse has been up, but of insomnia
Not now anyways.
Nothing really...
I left my pregnancy test with a sticky note asking if he was ready to add Player 4 to our game. He’s a gamer so it was cute.
Our first pregnancy he was at his old job and up for a promotion. I was scared to death because I didn’t think we could afford it without him getting the promotion so I didn’t even test until I was 8 weeks. Hindsight? It was a bitch move. So I wanted to keep this one simple and sweet.
My EDD is 7/2 for now... but my cycles were a little irregular after I finished breastfeeding baby #1 and my EDD might be later in July.
I feel good except I'm exhausted! That seems to be a running theme for most of us, though, as far as I've seen in other topics.
Not yet
On the topic of healthcare, I do still have American health insurance, so I'm considering just scheduling my first appointment during the week of Thanksgiving when I visit my family in Utah. But I am struggling to figure out how to play it off like I'm not pregnant! My family will think it's suspicious if I just disappear without a good excuse (and I'm a terrible liar), and I am also trying to figure out how to refuse alcohol without sparking even more suspicion.
Fellow drinkers, how do you plan on tricking people into believing you don't want a drink without making them think you might be pregnant?
I found out in the morning when he was at work, so I stole an idea from Pinterest (: I went with a Hocus Pocus theme and got cupcakes for us to share, and I also got a personalized mug and put it next to the positive tests, but I edited those out because of TOU.
As soon as I got the BFP I grabbed DD and went to Carters to buy her a "Best Sister Ever" shirt. She was wearing it when he got home. He didn't notice it though so I had to point it out to him.
Honestly kind of tentatively- we weren't really planning to start trying for real until October just got lax about preventing in September so I just told him after work (I had found out that morning and been panicing all day) and he did freak out for a while but is starting to get used to the idea/get excited
as of now 7/2/18 a BB pellet
I feel pretty good. Super winded all the time and starting to get slightly nauseous in the morning...
My first appointment is November 16th. I'll be a 7 weeks 3 days or so.
I'm trying to be excited but also cautious. I don't have a reason to be super concerned other than it is still early. It's how my brain works.
no
We had just gotten home from the airport it was 1 am... My ovia app said it was the first day I could test so I was determined to test. I got a squinter. I showed him and he said he didn't see anything, haha! So the next morning I went and got a digital one that said "yes". He saw that one! He was super excited but he worries
DH was on his way home after quitting his old job. He was overwhelmed because a couple days before he had received an offer for an amazing new job across the country 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. His first day is this sunday. He thought he’d be gone for two weeks initially but he had just found out he’d be gone for a month. He had called me to tell me this. So I was sad at home and took a pregnancy test. After trying (not super actively but enough for a lot of disappointment and lingering fear) for 10 months I was ecstatic to see a BFP! He came home and I was trying to not smile because he was a bit tentative about the previous news. I asked him if he wanted to see what I bought today, he said “whaaaaat.” I showed him the test. He started crying. He was so overwhelmed because this year he was unemployed from February to September. Then when he is offered the job of a lifetime he finds out he’s also going to have another child. We both cried!
Sorry that was so long!
To be honest, pregnancy comes with a lot of anxiety. Take each day as it comes. I think what you’re feeling is similar to my last pregnancy, not being able to hear baby’s heartbeat at 12 weeks (which is completely normal but still causes a lot of fear.) Listen to your MIL and try to breathe! ❤️
I drank a lot of alcohol but pretty much quit drinking for personal reasons about 3 months ago. So I don’t really need a different excuse now!
July 5th
Cramps, small bouts of nausea, fatigue, sore boobs, thirst, crazy dreams, constipation- surprisingly no bloat
Just got home from our 3rd appointment and 4th ultrasound- finally saw a sac and yolk sac, so far so good! Now the u/s tech is convinced I have a heterotopic pregnancy, so time will tell! I have another u/s next Friday for h/b and follow up.
Over the phone a few hours before he was meant to come home from work- I couldn't wait
@emsnedds I have taken a minimalist approach. Just say nothing and don't drink, but don't make a big deal of it. I have been surprised by how many times others don't ask or say anything. Went wine tasting last weekend and didn't drink and no one said a word (although I had prepared an excuse in case.) Somehow not putting it out there makes people feel awkward about raising it. But your mileage may vary...
**edited since I previously hadn't written that I *hadn't* prepared an excuse when I meant that I had. Thanks, autocorrect.

Baby #2 July 2018
(sorry for yelling- I was full of emotion about not knowing for so long.)
And that's awesome that you don't have to come up with a new excuse for not drinking now that you're pregnant!
p.s. Super impressed you went to a wine tasting and didn't make anyone suspicious when you didn't have any wine
happy not to have to make an excuse.
July 3rd, by LMP. Baby is the size of an orange seed (per the "What to Expect" app)
Not awesome. Kind of all-day sickness at this point. No real appetite to speak of (except craving guacamole, lol) and sore boobs/constipation/really tired.
Yes - I have my first ultrasound on Monday. Then my OB Nurse Appointment on the 21st, and another ultrasound on the 27th. I had orinally only had the appointments on the 21st and 27th scheduled, but am on Lovenox injections for clotting issues and my OB wanted to do an ultrasound earlier just to check things.
Hubby is being amazing and patient with my complete lack of interest in food. Not easy to deal with when we share cooking for the family.
Nope!
I tucked the pregnancy test in his medicine cabinet and then kind of hid out in the bedroom after he went in to change clothes after work so I was standing there when he came out. He was all smiles!
July 5, I think yeh baby size is about as big a black peppercorn
How are you feeling?
Am just super tired, felt a little sick yesterday during a staffing, but other than that I have been fine.
Any appointments scheduled?
Our first one is December 12, it seems so far away
Rants/Raves
My husband is amazing and has helped in anyway he can!
Questions?
none
GTKY: How did you tell your spouse?
He looked at the test first and said it was negative, I went in the bathroom and looked at it saw a faint line. I was really convinced so the next I went and got a digital one to be sure. I got busy around the house and with my son, so when my husband came home he’s the one who saw it first.
we we’re on our way to a rehearsal for my brothers wedding and I said I got a call to reschedule my regular physical appointment, and instead I said I needed to make my first prenatal because I had a positive pregnancy test. I got it all on video and his reaction was too sweet when he heard!
July 6th baby is the size of a puppy seed!
Feeling tired, and a little gaggy/nauseous to certain smells. Oh and sore boobs.
first appointment scheduled for December 1st! Soo far away!
Still in shock I got a positive test! Also I'm wishing for some more symptoms to ease my anxiety!
Nothing right now.
I wrote on a piece of paper-Daddy, I'm going to be a big brother and had my son color on it and then show my DH the paper when he got home from work! He was happily surprised!
7/6 I think.
i actually feel fine. Occasional cramping and rlp ALREADY, but nausea isn’t too bad yet.
Symptoms- severe bloating, tender nipples, and spiraticly sharp cramps.
First US scheduled for Nov 10.
Told my fiancee by placing 6 coke bottles in the fridge I had ordered that read... Mike & Tabitha plus baby 2018. I woke up before him and had it all set up. He loved it!!!
P.S. I desperately need a friend who buys wine for a living. I bet that will be awesome next summer when you have your little bundle of joy in your arms and out of your tummy
-7/3/18 / Appleseed
-So tired! Naps are happening. Also, my chest is very enlarged and sore, but I think that might be from the progesterone I am taking.
-Ultrasound on the 17th! We are planning on telling the parents after that.
-I just told him. I would have loved to do something fun, but since he knew I had a blood test that morning, he was waiting for news.
Rave: Stranger Things 2!
GTKY: How did you tell your SO? My period is always pretty regular, so the day it was due and didn’t come, I took a test (I have been off BC TTC since August). It was negative. So were tests 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Lol. I told my DH about it on Friday night, because it’s so weird for my period to be late and I wouldn’t be pregnant. Last Sunday, I finally got a positive HPT. I walked downstairs where he was watching football, handed it to him, and said “You know how I said I wasn’t pregnant? I lied”.

Baby GIRL! due 7.4.18
