prpl11butterfly

Due date/W+D: 13th / 4+4

Baby is the size of a(n): still a poppy seed

Any appointments? Questions?: No official apps yet but pretty sure betas weekly until 2k then schedule US. 

Rants/Raves?: DS let me sleep until 7 today which was beautiful. I took today off to go to a corn maze (something we have done every year since DS was born) but neice is already being difficult so I'm sure it will be a great day.....

How are you feeling?: Had some pretty extream nausea on sat but not nearly as bad since. I'm thinking it was made worse by the migrane I had. Some streaching and pulling. And RLP already. Yey....

GTKY: What’s the worst job you ever had? (Stolen from G1) OMG. Working in a pizza place owned by the worlds most sexist Greek man. As the only female there, it was my job to answer the phone, take orders, and do the dishes. No one was allowed to help. He actually told the delivery guy he wasnt allowed to help with dishes it he wasnt on run.

Due date/W+D: June 9th / 5w1d

Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed

Any appointments? Questions?: 6 w u/s on 10/16

Rants/Raves?: I do no want to be at work today. I keep thinking how nice it would be to leave and go back to sleep. I only have 5 more sick days for the rest of the year though so I really need to save them. 

How are you feeling?: I am so nauseous this morning and I feel like I'm going to fall asleep at my desk. I don't remember feeling like this so early in my other pregnancies.

GTKY: What’s the worst job you ever had? I had a telemarketer job in my teens. Calling strangers to sell stuff that no one wants really made me hate my life after awhile. That job didn't last long. 

@prpl11butterfly Group 2 check-in is actually the 9th-15th

@eleven_ I feel the same way, wish I had the thought last week to take today off, I have plenty of PTO just don't want my boss judging me.

Due date/W+D: 6/10, 5w0d

Baby is the size of a(n): apple seed

Any appointments? Questions?: 1st appointment 10/29

Rants/Raves?: We had a good weekend, just wish it was longer. 

How are you feeling?: cold and tired. I am bringing a blanket back to my office after lunch today.

GTKY: What’s the worst job you ever had? (Stolen from G1) I worked at an inbound call center for a little while, it wasn't terrible, but definitely the worst, I haven't had that many jobs. I have been at my current job for 6.5 years and don't think I will stay a long time, so this could end up being my worst in retrospect lol.

Due date/W+D: 6/10, 5w0d

Baby is the size of a(n): apple seed

Any appointments? Questions?: 1st appointment 10/23, which seems like an eternity away  

Rants/Raves?: Hate the clueless people who make appts at my doctor’s office (or maybe I just hate myself for waiting a week to call, bc now I have to wait 2+ weeks just for a blood test). 

How are you feeling?: Sad. How can I feel happy for myself when my baby sister is TTC and struggling? Advice pls from people who have been in her shoes. I don’t know how she feels (making me feel even more guilty). 

GTKY: What’s the worst job you ever had? (Stolen from G1) Ha. The terrible jobs I’ve had have mostly been bc of bad managers—worked retail in high school and only lasted 6 wks. The discount wasn’t even worth it.

@JuneBabyH as someone who has struggled over the last year to even look at someone pregnant, I will say the best way you can tell her is not in person or in front of a lot of people. That way she has time to process it on her own and doesn’t feel forced to be happy.

If she distances herself, don’t be upset or offended. She needs her space and it doesn’t really have anything to do with you personally. Let her have her time. Don’t push things. 

junebabyh

Thanks @meatballs37. I told her last night over the phone. She cried. I think we are both relieved it’s out in the open now. And I told her we didn’t have to talk about it again for many weeks. So now just crossing fingers that she’ll get a BFP this month too!

Due date/W+D: 6/15 4+2

Baby is the size of a(n): forgot to check  I think a poppy seed

Any appointments? Questions?: Beta on Monday  suspense might truly end me

Rants/Raves?: I really overdid it scheduling wise  I will be home all next week  I’m stayjng at a hotel on the Quebec/Ottawa line and it’s a bit odd. They have a casino and  it closes at 12  all the restaurants are done before 10p and they don’t have a salad on the room service menu  

How are you feeling?: I was feeling completely unpregnant which was scary but got really nauseous. TW- my MC was preceded by going from morning sickness to nothing so it’s hard when symptoms go away

GTKY: What’s the worst job you ever had? (Stolen from G1) I worked as a server at a raw bar when I was 16. I had to wear skimpy clothes and had no idea what I was doing n

Due date/W+D: 6/13 4+6

Baby is the size of a(n): poppyseed

Any appointments? Questions?: I don't have my first appointment until Nov. 6!  

Rants/Raves?: I would love to be at home sleeping rather than at work!  I keep waking up in the middle of the night and I have a hard time falling back asleep.

How are you feeling?: I'm feeling okay so far, pretty tired, but just waiting for the nausea to hit.

GTKY: What’s the worst job you ever had? (Stolen from G1) I worked retail for several years during/right after college.  Cleaning out fitting rooms was never a fun experience.

Due date/W+D:  June 17th; 4w, 3d

Baby is the size of a(n): Poppyseed?

Any appointments? Questions?: Going into base medical today to POAS so I can get a referral to an OB/CNM. I had a wonderful OB/GYN NP back home and I'm really missing her now. I feel lost and lonely here - I want to be able to ask women who their docs are, but can't. I broke down and told one local friend/mentor the news because her H is a local ER doc. We had a frank discussion about what kind of experience I wanted and it was a huge relief to say some of these things aloud without judgement. She gave me some great suggestions. 

Rants/Raves?: ONE WEEK until I go home to visit my friends and family for 10 days! My girlfriends and I take a trip to NYS every fall for a girls weekend. Its all hot apple cider and farmer's markets and bonfires and fresh pastries and knitting and spinning and sheep. I can't. wait.

I can't wait to see my parents and brothers, too. I miss them so much! I already have a plan to get the family dog to sleep with me instead of my little brother. The following weekend there's a family wedding (omg so much drama right now) that I'm stoked for because we're spending a few nights at my parent's house on the beach. 

I feel bad for saying this, but I'm most looking forward to spending time away from MH because every time we go home, his family capitalizes on our time. I'm happy to spend time with just MY family/friends and spend time in Philly doing what I want. 

How are you feeling?:  My symptoms have been coming and going, but last night I really didn't feel well. The cramping intensified (its more of a tightness than cramping per se) and I was pretty queasy. I find that my stomach has been off in the afternoons/evenings rather than the mornings. I've already gone through a box of lemon/ginger tea. 

Its really, really, really weird to not be hosting AF right now. I still expect to have to deal with her every time I go to the bathroom. That's been a strange adjustment. 

Anyone have a pregnancy-friendly remedy for constipation that they prefer? Because I am miserable. I'm still taking my probiotic and drinking kefir/eating sauerkraut - usually that's plenty to keep me happy. This is no joke. 

GTKY: What’s the worst job you ever had? (Stolen from G1) I've had far too many. And in hindsight I let myself become a doormat for my past bosses. Tough lessons, man. 

THANK YOU FOR READING MY DIARY ENTRY

@harrierwife my doctor was ok with milk of magnesia which worked really well for me. Beware however, it works!!!! It usually happens the next day for me. Good luck

Due date/W+D: June 15 (based off LMP) / 4+4

Baby is the size of a(n): i'm guessing a poppy seed

Any appointments? Questions?: Nothing yet, if all is good by Monday, I'm going to call the doctor. I'm too paranoid! They won't see me till 8 weeks anyway. 

Rants/Raves?: I'm excited to be pregnant, but also really nervous. 1) DD is 14 months, they'll be 22 months apart, i feel thats too close, 2) I'm scared to tell work i'm pregnant again. 

How are you feeling?: Last two nights, couldn't sleep. Dry mouth, and a funny metal taste in my mouth. My boobs are a little sour and some lower back ache. 

GTKY: What’s the worst job you ever had? (Stolen from G1): I was a secretary at a local law firm when in HS. So boring, there wasn't enough for me to do, so most of the time I stared out the window.

@harrierwife I've found having a large green smoothie for breakfast (water + baby spinach/kale + half a banana + flaxseed + chia + any other fruit you want for flavor) has kept things moving without taking anything into moving-too-fast territory, after having been constipated during week 5.
