1st Trimester Check-in | Week of 3/5

soehlerk

How far along are you? / EDD - 4 + 2, EDD 11/17(ish)

How are you feeling? tired, sore boobs, not sleeping well, blissfully happy.

Any recent/upcoming appointments? Had my first beta (35) on Friday.  Today's beta was 164.  One more next week, then first ultrasound on 3/27.

Thoughts/Concerns? All the thoughts.  All the concerns.  This is my first pregnancy ever, after about 20 months of trying.  I'm trying to only think positive thoughts.

Questions: How long before you stopped taking daily pregnancy tests?  Or is that just me?  I can't help myself--I still can't believe it's real, and the pregnancy tests have become like a daily security blanket for me.

QOTW:  What is a family tradition you hope to pass onto your LO?  My DH's family goes to Daytona Beach every year, and it's this deeply held family thing for them.  I enjoy the beach, but seeing how happy it makes them gets me really excited to share it with our LO.

soehlerk and welcome to the board! I wouldn't let myself buy anymore tests after I ran out . Once I heard/saw the heartbeat I relaxed a lot. But it's hard to not worry about everything!

@chicandbubbly. By all means!  Start up the next week! ❤

I feel like we've maybe been doing the 1st Tri one a little more loosely, so just anyone who comes to check in and notices is not up yet can feel free to do the honours! ;)

@muchwanted @adirat @Dragonfly6191 my first u/s is on Thursday. I was instructed to still POAS til then. I got a faint BFP 4dp5dt but I didn’t see it til I took the test out of the garbage the next day (listen to your mind when it tells you things). I then tested 6dp and it was darker and 8dp even more darker. I had beta at 9dp at 193 and 2 days later at 546. I’m just so eager to know and so is DH. I say babies when referring to them since I’m PUPO with two. I welcome how many ever we are blessed with. Today I am 5w6d and I was able to scoff down some fruit loops after 12 and a bottle of water but now I can only stomach a mint. I’m afraid of what tomorrow will bring.....
