Re: Fourth Week DD (22nd-31st) Check In W/O 12/30
How are you feeling? Physically and/or emotionally? I'm doing ok. I feel mostly fine just tired and I have some cabin fever
Rants/Raves? Vents? My toddler is going through some growth spurt and sleeping amazing, which I appreciate so much lately.
GTKY: Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, what are yours? I don't usually male resolutions. My only goal is to make it through the next year sane (or at least not any more crazy than I already am)
How big is baby this week? Any fun comparisons?
6w 3d. As tall as a Reese's peanut butter cup.
How are you feeling? Physically and/or emotionally?
Emotionally ok, but incredibly tired and cold. My family is running around normally, and I'm in a hoodie and blanket, and can't get warm.
And my stomach is just uncomfortable. Nauseated, but not to the point of vomiting. Just uncomfortable. I don't want to leave my couch.
Rants/Raves? Vents?
It's cold AF and I don't want to go back to work without heat in my room.
GTKY: Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, what are yours?
Not really. I just try to continue to be mindful of waste and making better environmental choices.
How are you feeling? Physically and/or emotionally? Physically - I hit a wall at about 8:30 each night and exhaustion has set in. Mild cramps, tender breasts, headaches. The usual! Mentally - I’m anxious and a little nervous. I wish my first appointment was before 10 weeks. This waiting period is never any fun. Just trying to be patient!
Rants/Raves? Vents? Rant - See above about my first appointment. Rave - so far enjoying a relaxing 3 days weekend with my boys! Tomorrow we have a homemade surf and turf dinner planned after DS is in bed. Yummmm
GTKY: Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, what are yours? I don’t really make resolutions. I just hope to stay healthy this pregnancy, and somehow manage my toddler through it all!
DS: 5.28.15
DS#2: EDD 8.31.18
How are you feeling? Good. Super exhausted and I have to pee constantly, and the nausea is just starting to kick in, but I don't feel terrible.
Rants/Raves? Saw my super cute 18 month old cousins today, which was fun. My first appointment is on Tuesday, and I'm super anxious to finally see my doctor and see my baby.
GTKY: Nothing in particular. Just want to get through the next 34 weeks!

Benched due to deployment- Off the bench 8/8/17!
I had a pretty easy pregnancy last time around (and labor from hell, so karma got me)... but the massive migraines/headaches I got around this time in the pregnancy last time have come back. I forgot how sucky they were. So far this is my only symptom. The only good thing about them is that I used them as an excuse for not drinking for my sister's bridal shower.
I am 6wks 3days today. My Ovia pregnancy app says baby is the size of a blueberry
How are you feeling? Physically and/or emotionally?
I am tired beyond all reason. Doesn’t matter how much sleep I get... it’s not enough. Mild nausea most of the day... especially on an empty stomach. My normally size A boobs are much fuller and rounder... nice perk!
Rants/Raves? Vents?
Its absolutely freezing here. Going down in the teens tonight, and with wind chill, forget about it. I’m a teacher, so I’ve been lucky enough to be home with my boys this week.. but we haven’t been out much with this exhaustion and crazy cold weather. And of course it seems they have triple the energy.
i am also constantly freezing. Heat is on 69 ( usually at 67) and I have a long sleeved tee,my hoodie, my husbands hoodie, thick sweatpants, long fuzzy socks, fuzzy slippers and I’m shaking. Not normal.
GTKY: Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, what are yours? No official resolutions... just want to enjoy this year as much as possible. 2017 has been really tough.
Ovia said the size of a blueberry! 6 weeks!
How are you feeling? Physically and/or emotionally?
Incredibly fatigued & nauseous. I’m a bottomless pit of hunger, if I dont eat 24/7 I feel extremely ill. Yet food is starting to sound gross
Rants/Raves? Vents?
I seemed to have forgotten how much the first tri sucked for me with my daughter. I’m so scared I’ll be just as sick again
GTKY: Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, what are yours?
Do lots of fun things as a family, see my business grow, & enjoy as many toddler snuggles as possible!
How are you feeling? Physically and/or emotionally? Emotionally it was a roller coaster when we found out. I was schedule for an IUD and my DH has just had an appt to talk about the big V. #3 was not planned in any way what so ever. However, I am now excited and the more I talk to people with 3, the more I become okay with it.
physically I’m doing okay. Light nausea in the morning, if it stays this way, that would be amazing!
Rants/Raves? Vents? I don’t understand why the app sucks so much compared to how it was just 4.5 years ago!
GTKY: Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, what are yours? No I don’t. But I’m hoping to fight fear and push forward in all my endeavors this year!
How big is baby this week? Any fun comparisons? 6 weeks or the size of a ladybug
How are you feeling? Physically and/or emotionally? Right now me and ds have colds, so not great but hopefully they'll go away soon
Rants/Raves? Vents?
Its cold, not even hitting 32 degree during the day.
GTKY: Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, what are yours. I dont really make any
@suzystar829 my migraines are starting back up, too. Hopefully they'll get better for both of us
A ladybug!
How are you feeling? Physically and/or emotionally?
Nausea has been popping up here and there and I cry about just about anything now
Rants/Raves? Vents?
So we’re visiting family in California for New Years and went to the zoo yesterday. DS got so excited about... a dog. Never mind the rhinos and giraffes, he saw the dog and was happier than anything. He cracks me up!
GTKY: Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, what are yours?
Haven’t thought of a good one for this year yet. Last year I was just excited to escape the dumpster fire that was 2016, I think I’m just happy for a new year and new opportunities!
@meeks2020 I’m so jealous, when mine has a growth spurt eating increases and sleep is non-existent! Get some good Z’s!
@7425cait and @mommasully11 I hear you on the cold thing! I’m in a hoodie hiding under a blanket. We’ll remember this time in August when we’re sweaty and are running the AC at like 60.
@lolog531 sorry the appointment is still so far away, I hope time passes quickly!
@ble1 sorry about the cold! Hope you and DS feel better soon!
@hfooter I hate mobile bump! And congrats on number 3!
@Paigerina I love your New Years resolutions!
@jsnakehole good luck on Tuesday!
@suzystar829 girl I had my first migraine the other day. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with headache issues. I hope they pass quickly!
Sorry if I missed anyone, mobile bumping is giving me a few issues and I’m supposed to be unplugging for family time. Hey, I’m speed bumping! I totally own my lame jokes
Anyway, happy New Years, all!

6 weeks, so a sweet peanut, round about.
How are you feeling? Physically and/or emotionally?
Physically, I am ridiculously bloated. I've had to buy undies a size up already just to feel like I'm not being cut in half. And my favorite yoga pants are tight already. Sigh.
Emotionally, I'm short tempered and easy to anger. And when I get angry it's usually over something stupid and inconsequential, like not being able to get the metal can lid off a can. My poor husband, he's gotten a lot of attitude as well, usually for asking me stupid questions.
Rants/Raves? Vents?
Yay, it's finally winter and it's deliciously cold out! But there's no effing snow! So it's cloudy, cold, and dreary brown/grey out. If it's going to be single digits cold, keeping me trapped inside more than I'd like, it could at least be pretty out.
GTKY: Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, what are yours?
New Years resolutions are lame, so I don't bother. I just try to be better in all aspects of my life from the previous year.
Baby is 6+1 weeks, a ladybug.
I’m okay. Nauseous unless I eat regularly, bloated, thirsty as hell, but at the end of the day I can’t really complain.
Raves: yesterday I found a stack of gifts cards to Barnes and Noble that my MIL gave me and I forgot about. So this morning I went on a book-shopping binge!
GTKY: I don’t do New Years resolutions but I do have a pregnancy goal: I want to get 30 min of exercise every single day. No excuses! I stayed active during my last pregnancy and I felt like it made a world of difference in how I felt. Recently I’ve been a lump and I really don’t want that.

@mrsbubbles-2 thanks for the well wishes! Sorry that you are dealing with nausea, because THAT sounds terrible too. Ugh!
A poppyseed? I think I’ll be 5 weeks tomorrow.
How are you feeling? Physically and/or emotionally? Emotionally, I am a bit of a rollercoaster. Physically, I’ve had some hints of nausea and lots of cramping. Tired, but I have 2 full time Little’s and a stepdaughter that we have a lot.
Rants/Raves? Vents? DHs Mom came today. She hasn’t always been very nice to me and did some uncool things at our wedding.
GTKY: Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, what are yours? I try to, but I never follow through. I just would like to be a better mom, wife, friend, person. Spend money wiser. Do well in school. Make it through this crazy thing called life happy & healthy.
How are you feeling? Physically and/or emotionally? I’ve been really tired and have had really strange dreams daily for a week. Also my back is acting up again which hasn’t happened since my last pregnancy.
Rants/Raves? Vents? My 1st appt. is sooo far away (still 3.5 weeks) but I am getting a nephew in 2.5 weeks which I am beyond thrilled about!
GTKY: Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, what are yours? I want to eat healthier this pregnancy so I don’t end up with another 9lb baby and exercise more.
How big is baby this week? Any fun comparisons?
6 weeks today. It says sweet pea.
How are you feeling? Physically and/or emotionally?
I am feeling pretty good. A little tired and get a little nauseous every once in a while, but only if I don't eat for long periods of time. I have zero appetite though so that's fun.
Rants/Raves? Vents?
Finally got all 6 of our Christmas's done this weekend, I am now completely exhausted but there was no drama so that was good.
GTKY: Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, what are yours?
If I were to pick I would say I want to make sure we are more aware of our finances and make better choices. My husband is always talking about them but then he is the worst about just going out and buying something when the mood strikes him.
@mommasully11 and @ble1 I hear you on the cold. Right now it is 11:00 am and it is a whopping 0 degrees with a wind chill of -9. It is the coldest day for the past 7 days, however none of the previous days even made it to the 20's. So the 40's that they are calling for next weekend will feel like paradise.
@yosemite2018 I have been having strange/incredibly vivid dreams lately. Last night I woke up at 4 am and had been dreaming that I lost DD1 at Disney (which I never have) and when I woke up I had to go and check on her before I could fall back asleep.
@mrsbubbles-2 That is so cute about your son. My 3yo DD get super excited when we drive past cattle. She will sit in the back seat and start hollering "cows, mommy I see cows". I'm all like "yeah sweetie I see them",
given that we live in Kansas anytime we drive to another town lets just say that we see plenty of them. You would think eventually they would stop being so exciting.
Sorry I am a little late to the party, I have been pretty absent the last few days. Just the ciaos of winter break for my kiddos and getting all family functions done have pretty much wiped me out. I hope everyone had a great New Year.
How are you feeling? Physically and/or emotionally? Fine. If I hadn't realized my period never showed I wouldn't think I was pregnant.
Rants/Raves? Vents? Not this week. Getting ready to shop for minivans if anyone has advice (this will be #3 for us).
GTKY: Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, what are yours? My resolution has been the same since the year DD1 was born: Survival. Haha.
How are you feeling? Physically and/or emotionally? Physically, I have a ton of food aversions and I have been very nauseous but I think I may have had a stomach bug that was making it worse because I feel a bit better and DD has a fever of 102 now.
Rants/Raves? Vents? I'm living on ginger ale and saltines and feel terrible and I go back to work tomorrow, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to hide this pregnancy until February ! On the bright side, I only went back to work part-time after DD (2 days in the office, 1 day from home) so I really can't complain!
GTKY: Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, what are yours? I don't typically make resolutions but my pregnancy promise to myself this time is to continue to work-out and eat healthy my entire pregnancy. I was pregnant with DD during the worst winter we had had in a long long time and I slipped and fell on ice on my way to the gym around 24 weeks pregnant and I used that as my excuse to barely leave the house the rest of my pregnancy and I gained nearly 65 pounds and ended up with GD. I'm hoping this summer pregnancy and having a toddler will help me keep my butt in gear!
How big is baby this week? Any fun comparisons?
I’m 6 weeks today! I need to check Ovia, but I think that means a blueberry.
How are you feeling? Physically and/or emotionally? I’m doing pretty good. My boobs are killing me, but other than feeling off if I don’t eat every few hours it’s not too bad. Hopefully things stay this way.
Rants/Raves? Vents? My boss is out this week, so I’m looking forward to a quiet week at work. Rant: DH really wanted a Recaro car seat because he’s into cars and Recaro makes actual racing seats. Unfortunately, it looks like they’re not selling their car seats in the U.S. any more. I felt bad because he was super excited about getting matching seats with the baby.
GTKY: Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, what are yours? I don’t really make resolutions, but like others, I want to try and stay as active as possible. This is my first pregnancy and I really want to try and limit my weight gain as much as I can. Also, I want to be better at budgeting and not spending money on things I don’t need.
@meeks2020 I can only imagine that sleeping toddlers are amazing. I like the idea of adding a question about upcoming appointments next week.
@7425cait I’m right there with you on being cold. I spend all day feeling like I can’t get warm until like 9, then I’m burning up.
@lolog531 How was your surf and turf? That’s one of my favorites.
@jsnakehole Yay for your first appointment today! Let us know how it goes.
@suzystar829 Sorry for your migraines, I hope they don’t become too bad.
@mommasully11 Ditto on needing the multiple layers in the house.
@paigerina FX your first trimester isn’t as bad as you’re worried about.
@hfooter That’s quite a shock! Glad you’re starting to feel more okay about things. One of my good friends has 3 kids and she absolutely rocks the 3 kid thing.
@mrsbubbles-2 That’s hilarious about your DS. Kids are so funny about what they find exciting.
@neeraja_k My mom was visiting this weekend and said “Oh, I think I can see a little baby bump.” Uh, no mom, I’m just bloated and fat right now, but thanks. Lol. She meant well, but still, ouch.
@redheadbride15 What books did you get?!? And I like your resolution. I’m aiming for 3-5 times a week, but realistically 30 minutes a day isn’t hard to do.
@rackleroo I’m sorry DH’s mom hasn’t always been nice. How long is she visiting? Is she staying with you?
@yosemite2018 My first appointment isn’t for another 3 weeks either. When I made it, it felt like it was so soon but now that Christmas is over it feels like it’s forever away.
@lngcdr2009 My husband is the same way about spending. He’s not allowed in Best Buy again for a long while.
@delujm0 I think we’re all just trying to survive! Lol.
@quinnsmom21 I’m right there with you on the working out resolution. I just want to keep up with the habit I already established.

6 weeks & 4 days
How are you feeling? Physically and/or emotionally?
Pretty constantly nauseous - sometimes mildly and sometimes very intensely. Virtually no appetite. Subsisting on water and saltines all day and forcing down a spinach packed protein shake for dinner to get this kid some veggies!
Rants/Raves? Vents?
wtf is this weather??? Single digits/teens almost every day with no relief projected for this week. The east coast is getting killed!
Also, my first US isn't until 1/11 and it feels like an ETERNITY away
GTKY: Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, what are yours?
To get plenty of sleep and continue my workout routine through this pregnancy. I struggle to stay motivated in winter in general, and feeling tired and nauseous is making it even MORE difficult to drag myself to the gym, but I am determined to keep it up for the health of this little bean.
Also, I hear you on the budgeting! I really started being strict when I was pregnant with DS because of daycare and all the other costs I knew were coming! I feel like I need to do it all over again now that there will be #2!
