Any appointments? Questions?:
Nothing til October 5th. Anyone getting slight lower back pain? 

 Rants/Raves?:

Feeling pretty good! Finally snuck a little caffeine into my life and the days have been so much better!

The holidays! It's still hot as can be in Texas...can't wait til November hits to get a little bit of a break.

 Due date: 3/29

Any appointments? Questions?: Still riding high from Friday's u/s and physical Next appointment is 10/12 which doesn't seem as agonizingly far away now that we've heard the heartbeat.

Rants/Raves?:Raving about Dunkin Donuts pumpkin spice donuts - it was a magical surprise in the assorted munchkins I brought to work for my announcement. (Still) Ranting about stupid pregnancy comments because they're still coming up and mostly from 1 person. This morning at 7:30 am was a Snapchat that said "Happy Hump Day Bestie! Now we all know what you & your hubby like to do" ... really?!? Yes, I'm pregnant and yes, it's hump day. Grow the F up. You have 2 kids of your own...

How are you feeling?: Caught DD's cold and still fighting fatigue but I'm no longer nauseous if I don't eat every hour on the hour so that's a step in the right direction! 

GTKY: What your favorite thing about fall? What isn't my favorite? I love crisp weather, falling leaves, pumpkins, pumpkin patches, apple cider everything, hoodies, football, bonfires...ugh we need to leave this summer weather behind! I'm ready for my big comfy hoodies!

kristimh80

@HoneyBear40 Yum those donuts sound amazing!!! I'd be annoyed by that snap chat as well. Maybe start ignoring the lame comments and she'll stop?

HoneyBear40

@kristimh80 She's been relentlessly bugging me since DH text her & her hubby. I think part of it is her hubby got fixed (which she made sure we ALL knew) so now she's going to try to live through me? idk. I ignored that comment and just said "yep, it's only Wednesday". 

kristimh80

@HoneyBear40 Ahh makes sense, good call! I hope she gets better for your sake!

Due date: March 24

Any appointments? Questions?: Next appt is still
a couple weeks away. 

Rants/Raves?: Rant - I’ve developed an aversion to coffee. I’m so sad because I freakin’ love coffee. 

How are you feeling?: Pretty good! Nausea has mostly passed. I get winded easily now and had to use my asthma inhaler for the first time in awile
today. Other than that just tired! 

GTKY: What your favorite thing about fall? (Trying to conjure some fall weather! It’s been hot here!) 

Everything: But mostly hoodies, sweaters, boots, and all other fall clothing!

GTKY: What your favorite thing about fall? I love it all!!!! I feel like people are in better moods too...not too hot and not too cold yet

mamabear1010

Due date: my due date is actually 4/4 but I will be delivering in the middle of March ( scheduled c section) so I thought I’d join this group if it’s ok.

 Any appointments? Questions?: Has anyone had high blood pressure or preeclampsia their previous pregnancy? My blood pressure was fine both pregnancy’s till the end when it kinda sky rocketed and I had to deliver early. So this time around my doc put me on a low dose aspirin regimen till I deliver. It suppose to help prevent high blood from happening and also help with preeclampsia as well. Has anyone experienced this? Taking aspirin, side effects liked or not like etc? 

 Rants/Raves?: none

 How are you feeling?:  bloated nauseas and tired 

GTKY: What your favorite thing about fall? My birthday Halloween and the beautiful weather!!

 Any appointments? Questions?: I'll have to do every week/ other week TV ultrasounds for cervical length starting soon. Otherwise just ?16 week follow up maybe.

 Rants/Raves?: Just sick. We cancelled our scheduled night out because everyone was sick. Last time we did dinner was 1.5 years ago. BUT, I am still going for my hair appointment today, sick or no. Its been so long. My grays are few, but getting to almost 2"...

 How are you feeling?: Less nausea, but exhausted. And constant headaches since I was rear ended a week or two ago. Worse since I got sick. Its rough. I need to get my flu shot ASAP, flu's already around here

Oooops...double posted...anyone know how I can delete it?

@kristimh80 my lower back was hurting last weekend. I hope that’s not something I’ll have to deal with yet. It’s been fine the past few days. 

@HoneyBear40 I will need to check out Dunkin Donuts! Perhaps pumpkin spice donut tasting will become my alternative for pumpkin spice beer tasting 

keikilove

 Due date: 3.28

 Any appointments? Questions?: Appointment in 2 hours to get results of NIPT & find out the sex. Can’t wait!

 Rants/Raves?: Happy to have some down time at home, even though it’s because of feeling sick. 

 How are you feeling?: Haha, sick. Headaches nonstop.

GTKY: What your favorite thing about fall? I’m a weirdo who doesn’t like seasons. Growing up in Hawai’i and then moving to the mainland, I dreaded fall because winter came after. Now that I’m back in Hawai’i fall just means the weather cooling off by a few degrees and maybe a bit of rain. I’ll take it!

@jesiannv I feel ya on the pumpkin beer front. Husband works at a brewery and I am definitely gonna miss out on their pumpkin beer this fall!

tiabelle319

Due date: March 31st

 Any appointments? Questions?: Next OB appointment isn't til Oct 10th (my birthday). I can't wait to see how much our little babe will have grown by then. We weren't able to hear the heartbeat at our Sept 12th appointment, but we got to see it and watch our little angel dance around like crazy. I am hoping that we can hear the heartbeat at the next appointment.

Rants/Raves?: Rants - Told my coworker I was going to have a snack at the back desk because I was starting to feel nauseas, so she decided to follow me and tell me all the details about her IBS....  alllllll the details. Raves - naps.... I love naps, and love having an excuse to take naps.

How are you feeling?: Struggling with headaches, allergies and not being able to take anything, lower back and hip pain. Friends have started touching my belly in the last few days which is fun, and feels good to have people be so excited... but I am sure I will get sick of that pretty quick.

GTKY: What your favorite thing about fall? (Trying to conjure some fall weather! It’s been hot here!) Sweaters and leggings! Which are always my fave, but especially now that I am pregnant.
