Re: TTGP Grad Check-In w/o 3/14
How far along are you? 8+1
Anyone have an appointment this week? Had 1 on Tue. I have officially passed my loss milestones ❤
Cravings/Symptoms? Still not so much cravings as being impressionable. Nausea is letting up a bit. Though I did have an incident the other morning. Excessive mucous, empty stomach, and drinking coffee were not a good mix.....
Rants/Raves/Randoms? So the oldest child in my house (my neice, in our custody) decided to announce to a handful of my mothers coworkers that I threw up that morning. I figured she'd suspected but now I'm sure and that was her way of announcing that she knew. Little bratt....
Rave- Housing market is picking back up! A 4 bedroom was just listed in town and were are going to the open house on Sat!
Questions?
GTKY: what is your favorite way to eat potatoes? Mashed with lots of butter
What's going on this week? I think Jelly Bean will start moving arms and legs involuntarily now, hopefully we get to see that at our next US
How far along are you? 10 +5 (EDD Oct 6th)
Anyone have an appointment this week? Nope, but my blood results all came back well from my first appt (except my red blood cell count was a little low but not alarming yet)
Cravings/Symptoms? Not really, I do feel quesy if I'm too hungry
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I'm so happy to be visiting family today through this weekend to give the news. My rant is that I have to work remote today and tomorrow since we're trying to save PTO for my leave
Questions? Nada
GTKY: what is your favorite way to eat potatoes? French fries~
How far along are you? 11 weeks, 1 day.
Anyone have an appointment this week? I'm taking a cue from @galentine and am going in for my Panorama test tomorrow. My NT scan is next Friday.
Cravings/Symptoms? I am eating Cheez-Its like nobody's business. And English muffins. I eat two English muffins a day and I can't/won't stop! This is also why I'm going to the gym.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I starting reading Expecting Better last night and I love it! This kind of information speaks to me. I've barely read any of What to Expect... (I just can't get into it), but I have a feeling that I'll be done with this book in no time.
Questions? I asked it on The Great Question Thread, but for those who are taking progesterone when will you stop? Will you wean or go cold turkey?
GTKY: what is your favorite way to eat potatoes? With my face. (High-five, everyone!! YOLO!) Okay, sorry. I love creamy mashed potatoes with butter OR crispy shoestring French fries. So I guess I'm eating potatoes and pie for dinner.
@marbellie, I am so excited to hear how your families react to the news! We are telling my in-laws this weekend too. My H is so excited ❤
@elle-0409, yay for bloodwork tomorrow! Good luck!
What's going on this week?
Baby is the size of a golden snitch! 💛 And apparently baby can smell now. That seems unfortunate because I bet the inside of a human doesn't smell too pleasant.
How far along are you?
10w4d (wait, @marbellie, have I been counting wrong all this time?!)
Anyone have an appointment this week?
Yes, just with the nurse for NIPT bloodwork.
Cravings/Symptoms?
Nausea has mostly faded away now, except for the times I let myself get hungry. Hungry = instant nausea. I'm craving ice cold water, lime jello, and nacho cheese doritos. Still having aversions to most healthy food ☹😂
Rants/Raves/Randoms?
Rant: we skyped my MIL for her birthday and in our 30 minute call, she criticized or put down either my H or me about 10 times. I was unimpressed but also, unsurprised.
Rave: telling the in-laws this weekend!
Questions?
Anyone have any knowledge about the Counsyl brand NIPT testing? I assume all the brands are about the same....?
GTKY: what is your favorite way to eat potatoes?
LOL to @Elle-0409's answer to this. I see now how I set myself up for that with the awkward wording! 😂 My favorites would either be diced and fried like cube/hash brown/breakfast potatoes (with Lowry's seasoning, yummm) or in poutine. I love me some poutine.
@marbellie Yay for your announcing this weekend! Glad you are able to WFH to save those PTO hours.
@elle-0409 Mmmmmm... English muffins sound delicious. Especially with butter, cream cheese and strawberry jelly. GL with your upcoming test and scan!
@galentine Darn, this is turning into the day where everything sounds good! I haven't had poutine in forever. Yay for announcing to your ILs. Hope it all goes well.
What's going on this week? Baby is the size of a tab on a can of soda (also from TB).
How far along are you? 9+3
Anyone have an appointment this week? Nope, not until 4/02 & 4/03 for basically all the tests, scans and regular 12 week OB visit.
Cravings/Symptoms? Well I was doing okay until the talk of English muffins, poutine and all things potatoes.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I've been able to hear this babe's heartbeat using my Doppler almost every single time I try now. Of course last night when DH really wanted to hear it, the baby was hiding. But I heard it this morning while he was in the shower
Questions? nope
GTKY: what is your favorite way to eat potatoes? all of the above mentioned answers are perfect! There hasn't been a potato preparation method that I don't like (did that make sense? lol)
TTC #2: October 2018, BFP 02/02/19, EDD 10/14/19
@galentine I'm sorry about your chat with MIL, I don't know how you put up with that for 30 minutes.
What's going on this week? Speaking of potatoes baby is size of a tater tot
How far along are you? 9w1d
Anyone have an appointment this week? After a bleeding scare we had an appointment yesterday. Baby was measuring 8w2D but they still are leaving my EDD at 10/16. Looking good though and was happy with amount of growth.
Cravings/Symptoms? I was really sick on Tuesday but since the nausea has lightened up quite a lot. The look and smell of red meat is turning my stomach, DH my sloppy joes and Tuesday and I wanted to throw up when he warmed some up for dinner last night. I can go to town on some crispy chicken though.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? Not to much here. Annoyed at the plumbers and if it wasn't my BIL business I would have moved on to someone new by now. Trying not to let my bitchy pregnant self say something to him I'm going to regret, but I'm super irritated about things today.
Questions? Nope
GTKY: what is your favorite way to eat potatoes? Boil em, Mash em, Stick em in a stew. Seriously though I love potatoes in almost any way, shape or form; mashed with lots of butter would be my favorite. NO GRAVY I hate gravy.
