Re: 1st Trimester Check-in | Week of 4/16
How are you feeling? Still tired, achy and bloated. Today is rough because I was running late and didn't get my normal breakfast in so my stomach is feeling icky. Munching on goldfish crackers and drinking my water so hopefully it gets better soon. It's going to be a rough day though because my meeting schedule is going to make it hard to eat lunch.
Any recent/upcoming appointments? Friday is our first ultrasound at 7 weeks. So excited!!
Thoughts/Concerns? Nothing new.
Questions:
QOTW: Team yellow (will find out the baby's sex) or team green (will wait until birth) - which team are you on? What influenced your decision? Are you hoping for a boy a girl? Team yellow all the way!! One of my besties just had a baby last November and they didn't find out. I was so hard to find gender neutral everything for the baby shower. Plus I'm such a planner I just can't wait. We want to be able to add some gender-specific touches to our pre-baby prep and nursery decor.
Honestly, DH and I are both hoping for a girl. It's what we both envision...though obviously, we'll be perfectly happy either way.

How far along are you? / EDD
7 weeks 2 days / EDD 12/1
How are you feeling?
Still don't have many symptoms. Just some headaches and lower back pain. And still super exhausted. No nausea really, which is fine by me!
Any recent/upcoming appointments?
We have an ultrasound tomorrow morning! Hopefully we'll see baby and the heartbeat! FX!
Thoughts/Concerns?
Just waiting anxiously for our US tomorrow. This wait has been almost unbearable! I just need to know baby bean is still in there and growing like crazy! Then I can relax!
Questions:
QOTW: Team yellow (will find out the baby's sex) or team green (will wait until birth) - which team are you on? What influenced your decision? Are you hoping for a boy a girl?
So I was initially all about team green, by DH has been team yellow from the start! The more I think about it though, the more I'm leaning towards finding out the sex at our week 20 US. I don't know if I'll be able to wait!
@ChristenMA83 we are in the same boat! DH and I both want a girl - we actually just both assume it will be a girl! We've always talked about our first child as being a girl, but we of course have a boy's name picked out already and would love baby boy unconditionally!

How are you feeling?
Still have some nausea, which I'm so over. I've been super irritable lately, which my H isn't appreciating.
Any recent/upcoming appointments?
I have an appointment tomorrow (4/17) for another u/s and possible NIPT test. I will hopefully get a schedule of how often my dr will see me and possibly do baseline labs for ICP.
Thoughts/Concerns?
TW: This is my last loss milestone and I'm always super nervous before appointments. End TW.
Questions:
QOTW: Team yellow (will find out the baby's sex) or team green (will wait until birth) - which team are you on? What influenced your decision? Are you hoping for a boy a girl? We are team yellow all the way! I'm way to type A to be team green, haha. I want a healthy baby, but I'm hoping for another boy. I already have everything I need and pink won't take over my house.
Edit: spelling is hard
9 weeks 3 days/November 17th
How are you feeling?
Feeling OK. My nausea comes and goes and I still feel like I've been hit by a Mack truck.
Any recent/upcoming appointments?
Next Tuesday for 10 week U/S
Thoughts/Concerns?
I had a little bit of brown spotting today which scared me. I've been doing a lot of walking so I'm hoping that if I slow down my activity a little bit, that all will be OK.
Questions:
QOTW: Team yellow (will find out the baby's sex) or team green (will wait until birth) - which team are you on? What influenced your decision? Are you hoping for a boy a girl?
I wish I had the patience to be Team green but I'm totally Team yellow. I'm like wildrainbow and am too type A to wait. I am 100% OK with either gender and have zero preference.
@mag1cbeli3ver Good luck at your US tomorrow!!!
