Re: TTGP Grad Check-In 2/21
How far along are you? 5+1
Anyone have an appointment this week? 3rd beta coming Monday
Cravings/Symptoms? no cravings. A lot of "nothing sounds good" but things taste good when I do finally eat. I've been letting other people (DS, my parents) decide what's for dinner because I just can't. Symptoms are kicking up. Nauseous most of last night and this morning. Drinking ginger ale to help but the bubbles are just making me gassy and uncomfortable.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? It snowed last night and then we got an ice overcoat. I had to clean my truck off since DH is away. I'm short, I cannot reach the top. I got overheated and frustrated. DS wanted to shovel and not go to daycare. Now I'm being audited at work. At least I know that will be a smooth process for me.
Questions? Nah
GTKY: What is your dream job? To own my own aquarium shop.
How far along are you? 6w4d
Anyone have an appointment this week? Not until 3/4
Cravings/Symptoms? I woke up with serious lower back pain today. I had this with my second pregnancy, but it started much later. I have barely gained a pound yet this time, could this really be pregnancy related?
GTKY: What is your dream job? Design Director for Magnolia Journal or Travel&Leisure or any travel company that will send me on location for photo shoots. (But part time--four days a week would be perfect so I could get all the things done on my alone-day off and spend more quality time with the kids on weekends).
@junebabyh I'm sorry that you are feeling anxiety. I hope that it subsides as that milestone passes. Will seeing your doctor on the 4th help?
What's going on this week? Sick *again* and it sucks because I feel like I can't take any medicine that we have on-hand.
How far along are you? 6+3 (based on O)
Anyone have an appointment this week? Nope, next week on Thursday though!! (604,800 seconds // 10,080 minutes // 168 hours // 7 days)
Cravings/Symptoms? Same over here. Tender chest, tired (probably more so from the cold), hungry but nothing sounds good.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? It's almost Friday! DS has T-Ball practice today at 4:30pm and part of me wants to not go so I can have the house to myself and rest. But I just love seeing my little kiddo have a good time with his friends. So I'll probably go anyways. I'm also reviewing a report for work to make sure that it's in compliance for federal regulations (I'm an internal auditor for a credit union so this is usually what I do) but I swear the information is going in one ear and out the other. I'm having such a hard time concentrating and deciphering.
Questions? nope
GTKY: What is your dream job? Not sure... If I could do blogging full-time and get paid more consistently for it, that would be awesome. I kind of wish I was a chef, I love food.
TTC #2: October 2018, BFP 02/02/19, EDD 10/14/19
@stephanie123456 yes, I love them! We don't have a tank currently because it's so much upkeep but we've had some really nice ones. Hope you feel better soon.
FYI, I killed the audit because I'm awesome like that 😉
@junebabyh, your dream job is very similar to mine! I love it!
@stephanie123456, WE ARE SO CLOSE TO OUR APPOINTMENTS! FINALLY! ONLY ONE MORE WEEK!!!!
@themadcamel, Hi girl! Happy to see you lurking, I miss you!
What's going on this week?
Baby's fingers and toes are forming?! How is this possible?!
How far along are you?
7w4d by LMP. I've been going by LMP instead of O because it puts me a few days ahead, and thus I feel just a teeny bit more confident each day. LOLing at myself.
Anyone have an appointment this week?
6 MORE DAYS! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!! So anxious and excited to hopefully see a heartbeat and finally feel comfortable sharing our news with family! ❤
Cravings/Symptoms?
The fatigue and nausea are here like whoa. And gagging/vomiting on occasion. No food sounds good.
Rants/Raves/Randoms?
My H is out of town this weekend, which is both a rant and a rave. Rave because: bed all to myself, 100% say in what plays on the tv, can eat whatever I want. Rant because I'll miss him!
Questions?
Nope. I wonder if we should remove this from the check-in?
GTKY: What is your dream job?
My unrealistic dream would be to be a travel photographer. See all the beautiful places in the world on someone else's dime 😉
My more realistic dream would be to go back to school to become a child life specialist for our local children's hospital. I volunteered in the pediatric oncology unit in college, and it had a huge impact on me. I'd love to work full time with those kiddos and families.
ETA I thought there were more of us here 🤔
Oh, and don't forget our resident September lurker @lillywonderland! 😊 September is pretty quiet too, we should combine forces!
@galentine I love random nights alone. Binge watching netflix without having to share or justify it is amazing lol
@junebabyh I've been there and it's hard. I hope these next few days fly by and you have some fun things to do this weekend to help keep your mind off things.
@stephanie123456 I'm in information security now, but my former position was in internal controls. We're like work cousins
What's going on this week?
Baby is the size of a coffee bean (mmmmmmm coffee, I miss drinking a million cups a day)
How far along are you?
7w5d by ovulation date.
Anyone have an appointment this week?
I had one at 6w2d and I have my next one at 10w3d.
Cravings/Symptoms?
Mostly just fatigue, tingly/sore boobs and some mild nausea.
Rants/Raves/Randoms?
I've been on the struggle bus lately, no particular reason. My last appointment went well, we saw the heart beat - but PGAL brain only lets you enjoy that for so long....
Questions?
Does anyone use natural remedies for constipation? If so, have any been working?
GTKY: What is your dream job?
Something that involves charity work and brings me to South Africa.
TTC #2: October 2018, BFP 02/02/19, EDD 10/14/19
@junebabyh it's understandable to be anxious approaching that date, but I hope that you feel more confident and have a H&H process all the way through
@stephanie123456 sucks that you're having another cold but at least your appointment is coming up finally!
@galentine yes I'm here haha, just been lurking due to laziness. I want to measure how far along I am today based on the oldest measure too for that same reason, but force myself to cut the difference instead haha (TB has me at 7+6 based on LMP)
@cdnrunning aw man, back to back sicknesses are rough, hang in there!
What's going on this week? Not much, just working and helping my sister's family move (that was a messy situation for sure)
How far along are you? 7 weeks and 3ish days
Anyone have an appointment this week? I wish, I'm in the process of making a time machine to March 5th
Cravings/Symptoms? My boobs are fuller for sure and are slightly sore in the morning, plus my heart rate usually sticks around 90bpm now
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I'm so happy to have a consistent pregnancy symptom with my elevated heartbeat, I randomly try on MH's fitbit and perversely like to watch it rise (since this pregnancy feels all in my head sometimes)
Questions? Might as well throw out a little GTKY: What are you most looking forward to with this pregnancy?
GTKY: What is your dream job? Something that would allow me to just sit and critique reality TV shows because I'm funny enough and love trash TV
@marbellie I hate reality TV. So much. Re:your GTKY Q, if I'm answering honestly, its keeping it.
@galentine I remember that you mentioned that show before and I actually started it that weekend! It's hilarious and I keep meaning to go back to it
How has everyone been? I see many of you have appointments next week (joy!!). I’m so excited for you all to see your tiny little gummy bear babies!!!! Squish was gummy bear looking two weeks ago but this week he/she had real(ish) arms and legs. SO CUTE!! 🥺🥰
@cdnrunning I do citrucel everyday. I haven’t tried Metamucil, but citrucel tastes surprisingly good (I prefer the no sugar one). I’ve been on it for the last 7+ years and haven’t gotten sick of it yet!
@lillywonderland aw that's adorable, my appointment is in 1+ weeks and I keep looking at information on week 9 and how it will look, I can't wait
How far along are you? 4w6d
Anyone have an appointment this week? Nope, 3 more weeks
Cravings/Symptoms? Not so much for cravings, but have had a really upset stomach and insomnia at night. Also had a day of metallic taste.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? Everyone in my family has a cold right now. Fortunately, no fevers (and I'm terrified of getting one in early pregnancy), but everyone has a cough keeping them up at night.
Questions? None
GTKY: What is your dream job? Genealogist. Genealogy is a hobby of mine and would someday like to make it a potential career.
How far along are you? 8 weeks, 5 days. My baby is the size of a gummy bear. ( @lillywonderland Are we only two weeks apart?!)
Anyone have an appointment this week? Sadly, no. Not until March 22 and I'll be 12 weeks. I was spoiled getting two ultrasounds done early!
Cravings/Symptoms? If the thought of food doesn't make me want to become violently ill, then cheese and bread are amazing. Also, Nutella. But not with the cheese. Nausea is still here as are insomnia and fire nipples.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I made it to the gym this morning! I did 45 minutes of cardio and some weights. Then I ate 47 Bagel Bites because balance is key during pregnancy. I'm also jazzed to watch the Oscars tonight!
Questions? I did not feel nauseated for about six whole hours this morning and immediately began googling if this was a bad thing. Does anyone else have their MS come and go? It's back now, which is both unpleasant and reassuring.
GTKY: What is your dream job? To be Tina Fey.
TW Missed Miscarriage

@junebabyh, I was just rereading this thread and saw you had mentioned you were close to a loss milestone. How are you feeling now that it's passed? Has the anxiety lessened at all? I hope so! ❤
@stephanie123456, appointment day tomorrow!!!!!!!!! 🍾
My first appointment and likely ultrasound is today. I am so nervous and excited I hardly slept last night!!
