Any appointments? Questions?: Have my 12 week appt on Friday. Looking forward to it, next week is my NIPT. I'm nervous for that.
Rants/Raves?: I guess after my 12 week appt, I'll start telling work. I'm nervous to do this...
How are you feeling?: Still feeling sick throughout the day. I eat, and like 15 minutes later, I feel sick. Just want it to go away. And now, I'm a big fan of root beer.
GTKY - What was your favorite children's book when you were little? (stolen from Group 1): As a kid, I loved the Goosebumps books!
Any appointments? Questions?: My next appointment is a week from today. After that, I'm going to tell work...a little nervous about that! We have a lot of pregnant ladies for such a small staff!
Rants/Raves?: We just told my husband's family about this little one last week, and they (one in particular) reacted a lot better than I expected, so I was very happy about that.
How are you feeling?: Nauseous...last time I was sick for nearly my whole pregnancy, so really hoping it ends after 1st trimester this time around!
GTKY - What was your favorite children's book when you were little? (stolen from Group 1): I always loved the Saddle Club and Babysitter's Club books.
Any appointments? Questions?: Appt next week, just so I can hear the HB. My MW is nice and didn’t want me to have to wait until 16wks
Rants/Raves?: Spent the holiday weekend at Universal and I have no idea how very pregnant women do that. I was dead each night
How are you feeling?: Still sick and I’m over it. Hips hurt and having trouble sleeping. I feel like the crazy dreams have started early this time
GTKY - What was your favorite children's book when you were little? (stolen from Group 1): We had tons of Goosebumps books and I read them all the time.
@jacksonbears it’s always kinda scary to tell work but I’ve alwyas had good experiences. I had to tell some people at this job already cause there are certain types of patients I can’t care for now. I still have to tell my manager tho
Any appointments? Questions?: My first apt since the confirmation is Monday morning. I really don’t want to do the extra tests NT/NIPT. Just anxious to hear the HB again!
Rants/Raves?: Why do the days leading up to an appointment take FOREVER
How are you feeling?: My breasts are still tender but otherwise I feel pretty great actually. So thankful but also a little worried...
GTKY - What was your favorite children's book when you were little? (stolen from Group 1): I was also all about the goosebumps books, then Harry Potter came out when I was in 4th grade and I read and re-read those!
Any appointments? Questions?: Not for 4 weeks. I had one on Monday, everything sounded good on the Doppler so I got cleared to wait 4 weeks till my next apt.
Rants/Raves?: Not much. Thinking about maybe doing a social media announcement next week. Mostly to be done with it. I have told the people who work in my office and its kinda just slowly trickling out to everyone else. It'd be nice to have it done and just have everyone know.
How are you feeling?: I am exhausted. I have cut down my bonjesta to one pill a day. Still pretty miserable but surviving. My IBS is really flaring right now which sucks. I got very interrupted sleep last night so its really not helping my motivation today.
GTKY - What was your favorite children's book when you were little? (stolen from Group 1): The biggest thing I remember reading and sticking with my from my childhood is Harry Potter. I am still a fan, we rewatch the movies every year at Christmas and my pregnancy/maternity leave goal is to reread the books. As for my favorite books to read my son, I am a sucker for The giving tree. It gets me every time.
Any appointments? Questions?: had an US today and then go in Tuesday to see my OB
Rants/Raves?: So fun to see them move around and got great pics of their facial profiles. Also got to see their arms and fingers.
How are you feeling?: Getting more energy and my symptoms are managed but my spd pain is starting early
GTKY - What was your favorite children's book when you were little? (stolen from Group 1): Evil Weevil, it’s about a bug who liked it dirty and the billiards tried to help by cleaning and he was mean and hated it. I also loved the HP books and reread them two years ago. Their great for listening to in the car as well.
