Baby is the size of a(n): lime
Any appointments? Questions?: not for a few more weeks. I wasn't impressed with the doc and I'm debating seeing if I can switch to the other doc for my next appointment. He's new, but I've heard good things.
Rants/Raves?: I'm still so exhausted I don't have the motivati
How are you feeling?: Nausea is still popping in to say hello, but it isn't all day like it was. It has been replaced with heartburn which is awful. I'm also still really frickin
GTKY: Any fun Halloween plans this week? If you are a stm+ what are your kids dressing up as?The kids are going as batman, a Lego ninjago, and a monster. We will take them to trick or treating, but nothing to exciting. Actually, I'm hoping DH will take them and I can stay home.

Baby is the size of a(n): lime
Any appointments? Questions?: Had my NT scan today! Ultrasound looked normal and just have to wait a week for the results of the blood test
Rants/Raves?: I felt so great yesterday, but am back to feeling like crap today. I am so ready for the second trimester
How are you feeling?: See above haha
GTKY: Any fun Halloween plans this week? If you are a stm+ what are your kids dressing up as?We went trick or treating at DH’s work on Friday. DS has a blast and it’s super convenient. All indoors and he got more candy than he could ever need. We living in a rural community, so we’ll just be staying home to pass out candy tomorrow because I don’t want to lug a 2 yr old around haha Oh! He’s a dinosaur this year.
Due date/W+D: 5/21, 11 weeks
Baby is the size of a(n): Lime
Any appointments? Questions?: I have my first appt. with Maternal Fetal Medicine on the 8th. I’m a little nervous but excited because hopefully I’ll be able to get scheduled for the cerclage shortly after
Rants/Raves?: not today
How are you feeling?: I’m tired and feeling crazy hungry like all the time still. I’ve also started peeing every 20-30 minutes so that’s annoying.
GTKY: Any fun Halloween plans this week? If you are a stm+ what are your kids dressing up as? Just going to stay home and pass out candy (my son is with his dad for Halloween this year). My work did pay for us to go on a haunted ski lift ride at the Sundance ski resort last night so that was fun!Due date/W+D: 5/20. 11+1
Baby is the size of a(n): lime, which seems crazy!
Any appointments? Questions?: had an appointment Monday. Got to hear the hb on the Doppler, a good 162. Found out I won’t get tested for GD until 24 weeks so I got a referral to see a nutritionist earlier. My OB was (pleasantly) surprised. It surprises me anyone with that history wouldn’t want to try to get ahead of it?
Rants/Raves?: nah
How are you feeling?: got my flu shot yesterday so feel a little crappy. Starving but I can’t seem to eat a full serving of anything without feeling stuffed.
GTKY: Any fun Halloween plans this week? If you are a stm+ what are your kids dressing up as? DD had a Halloween party at school today, I volunteered to help out and it was pretty fun! Trick or treating tomorrow. She is skye from paw patrol.Due date/W+D: May 18th / 11w3d
Baby is the size of a(n): Lime! (I like lime better than last week' prune. Although I started saying kumquat instead.
)
Any appointments? Questions?: Appointment and ultrasound next Monday. I think it's the NT scan, but I'm not sure. I need to start asking more questions at the OB about what's happening when. Debating whether we're going to do any other prenatal testing. Husband and I are both relatively young and healthy and don't have any family history to worry about, but I like information. We always had that naivel mindset that tests wouldn't make any difference but now that I'm actually here I feel like I should know as much as I can.
Rants/Raves?: Husband hasn't come to any of the (two) appointments yet, and I'm trying to decide whether I should push him to come. He's having some trouble at work and is super stressed so I'm trying generally not to. But I want him to come. He'll definitely come for the 20-ish week gender reveal (if I go monthly I'll have 18 and 22 week apts, which one will it be?) but I'd like him to come to more.
How are you feeling?: Nauseous! And full of heartburn / acid reflux. I wasn't having too much of either until last week or so, and now it seems to be constant. Am I out of the first trimester yet?
GTKY: Any fun Halloween plans this week? If you are a stm+ what are your kids dressing up as: Nothing really. FTM here, no children to make costumes for. Probably watching a bad scary movie.We live in a nice suburban development, but didn't get any trick or treaters last year.ETA - Mobile is hard!
@kayforever My husband only came to one of my appointments with my first and he hasn’t been to any yet with this one. Sometimes it does suck to go alone (or, in my case now with a crying one year old), but it usually doesn’t fit in with his work schedule. The 20 wk one is a big one, so I’m glad YH can make it to that one!
Due date/W+D: May 18th, 11+3
Baby is the size of a(n): lime. Must be a small one...
Any appointments? Questions?: Appt on Friday where they will check up on my SCH. I think he may also do the NT scan as well, but not sure.
Rants/Raves?: None at the moment.
How are you feeling?: Had a couple days of bad nausea this week, but am feeling a bit less moody so that is a win!
GTKY: Any fun Halloween plans this week? If you are a stm+ what are your kids dressing up as? I took DS to an event at a local preschool this morning. That was fun. Trick or treating is not done where I live, so we won’t be doing anything else.Due date/W+D: may 15/ 12 weeks
Baby is the size of a(n): plum
Any appointments? Questions?: had an appt yesterday and everything is looking good so far. Measuring on track and my SCH disappeared. Got my flu shot and they took blood for genetic testing- our embryo was tested and came back normal but since insurance is paying for the panorama the dr said we might as well confirm.
Rants/Raves?: I am going through appt withdrawal as I have to now wait 4 weeks- since we did ivf (FET) we have been having appts every week.
How are you feeling?: tired- I still get nauseous in the evenings.
GTKY: Any fun Halloween plans this week? If you are a stm+ what are your kids dressing up as?my dd is going as Ariel from the little mermaid. I am her room mom for kindergarten and we have her Halloween party today.
@bpietronicco I need to get my flu shot. They were supposed to do them free at work a couple weeks ago so I figured I'd get in on that, but the cancelled due to Hurricane Michael. No power for a couple of days different places. They haven't rescheduled yet. I think I have to bite the bullet and go.
@fatmonica oops, I didn't look at this before starting the STM+ and using basically the same GTKY. Sorry for the duplicates to any ladies also in there! Also, your nausea fading is making me feel better. Were you the exact same each pregnancy (if you recall)?
@keighty80 oo I didn't even think about Halloween being a Wednedsay. I was 15 when my parents' divorce was final but my sister was 9 and did the every other weekend and Wednesday night with my dad.
@kipper-2 twins on the Friday appointments (and checking SCH)
@bpietronicco yay for the SCH being gone!! I can't believe there's 3 of us in our week who had them. And Ariel is so cute! I want to do that with DD in a few years if she wants since she's a red head.
@kayforever I'm not sure if this was this way for everyone but my big ultrasounds were not done at my OB's office. They have an MFM office that does the NT, A/S, and any other "big" ones. I got a dating ultrasound from my OB and to check on my baby when I was bleeding and a follow up after that. This might be different. I did the A/S at 20 weeks last time and it was completely separate form my monthly appointments (I have 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, etc., though). It will be the same this time although technically you can do the A/S between 18 and 20 weeks. I will likely do mine closer to 18 as I'm 20 weeks between Christmas and New Year's and want to check on my SCH.
Due date/W+D: May 17 / 11+5
Baby is the size of a(n): macaron
Any appointments? Questions?: NT ultrasound on Friday
Rants/Raves?: I had a heck of a morning but I posted about that in the randoms. Pregnancy brain is real and it takes 2 years to fully "recover" to normal. With a 14 month old kid and this pregnancy, I'm doomed.
How are you feeling?: slightly better which is making me nervous but I'm almost to 12 weeks so FX all is well. Still feel like crap in the afternoon.
GTKY: Any fun Halloween plans this week? If you are a stm+ what are your kids dressing up as? Taking DD trick or treating in our neighborhood with some neighbor friends and some of their friends they invited to our neighborhood. Apparently 4 streets down from us is NUTS! We rent an apartment in a super wealthy town where we could never actually afford the $2-5M homes. Anyways, I'm glad our neighbors (who also rent) are showing us the ropes. They have a 3yo and a daughter 2 weeks older than DD.Due date/W+D: May 15, 12 weeks
Baby is the size of a(n): Plum
Any appointments? Questions?:Had my last weekly scan today. They couldn't measure baby because they were moving around so much - kind of looked like a hopping frog. Ha! Im a little nervous about the fact my OB doesn't offer any more scans! My NT scan is next week and then nothing else til January 2 for the anatomy scan. Not sure how I will manage in those 8 weeks.
Rants/Raves?: Rave: For the second scan in a row my SCH was not visible so that is exciting! Rant: My Mother saved everything (furniture, clothes, toys, blankets) from when I was a baby and wants to bring it all over for me to use. I told her I am unsure I will use any of the furniture its been in garage rafters uncovered for 30+ years - she is very angry about this.
How are you feeling?: Slowly getting better! I never had it too bad though.
GTKY: Any fun Halloween plans this week? If you are a stm+ what are your kids dressing up as? I am just passing out candy to the cute kiddos that come by.
