How are you feeling?: tired all the time boobs are sensitive lightheaded a couple times overall pretty normal still
Rants/Raves: I really wish family would stop asking when I’m going to get pregnant I want to tell in my own way and I suck at lieing or ommiting the truth so if they find out early from prying I’m going to be upset
Questions:any stm+ have advice on conceal carry once you start wearing maternity clothes I’m not finding many options and want to limit my bag carry if I can
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? His work ethic he always puts in 200% and then helps others as well and his butt he hates how much I love it but it is so cute😋
How are you feeling?: pretty good. Looks like the insomnia is getting better. My body lets me have 6+ hours of sleep now. Boobs are still very tender like I have constant PMS. Otherwise, I feel exactly the same.
Rants/Raves: The H and I were walking in the baby aisles at Target and realized we'll need a sh*t ton of stuff.If you get an infant car seat, looks like you'll need a regular carseat x 2 (2 vehicles) not long after. To sum it up, 1 baby - 3 car seats
Questions: none for now
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? He is very dependable.

@AlexisJoy92 We both got asked a few times this weekend when we plan on having kids. It is hard to lie! My SILs are both pregnant and kept talking about their pregnancies. Since they know our situation (H had low sperm count and got surgery) I just told them we need to wait 3-6 months to see if it worked. Little do they know

Baby is the size of a(n): The heart button on instagram. Or the size of a pop rocks crystal. Or the size of the head of a common nail. Or the size of a chocolate chip.
Upcoming appts: July 19th for my dating ultrasound.
How are you feeling?: BLOATED AF. Still sore boobs and incredibly irritable.
Rants/Raves: Why is potty training a toddler hell on earth?
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? His sweet and calm demeanor and he is an amazing dad.
How are you feeling?: I'm midway through a bad cold, so that sucks, and I'm ready to be farther along so the baby feels more certain--because right now it feels certain that I'm pregnant (b/c boobs, frequent urge to pee, etc.) but not as certain that in 8 months we'll have something to show for it.
Rants/Raves: Exhausted with a transition to a different team of work...but excited, too, because it's to a position that I suspect will be a better fit.
Questions: None right now!
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO?: That he's tender and affectionate, but also that he is willing to sacrifice when one of us has a significant opportunity. For example, when we were in school in Boston, I had the chance to transfer to a better program in NYC--he knew it would mean long distance, but also knew it was the best opportunity for me and he supported me in pursuing it, driving me to the train station and picking me up each week for 2 years, and taking care of our pets on his own. He's my Marty Ginsburg.
First baby due February 21, 2019 Located in Columbia, SC
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: We knew before our FET but we aren't saying anything yet
Baby is the size of a(n): poppy seed
Upcoming appts: Beta tomorrow!
How are you feeling?: So far so good. It's hard to tell what is pregnancy and what is the progesterone and estrace. I've had fatigue and sore boobs since I started the meds!
Rants/Raves: Just on edge for right now because of PGAL brain
Questions: not yet!
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? It's hard to pick just one thing but it's a tie between his big heart and his sense of humor.

Wow I feel the exact same right now... getting a cold at the same time you’re finding out you’re pregnant is exhausting and confusing! I was having those early pregnancy symptoms and now I’m just so worn down from the cold I’m nervous about where the pregnancy is at.
@Amyface813 Personally I always appreciated when my friends were open and honest with me. I’ve seen a lot of people post that it’s easier to hear and process the information through text rather than in person just in case their initial reaction isn’t positive. Just acknowledging that this might be difficult for them to hear at first is always nice!
@AlexisJoy92@rikiteacup I have two kids already so I'm getting the opposite comments. This will alone I've had 3 people say to me "oh you must be done now because you have your two". Super awkward either way!
How are you feeling?: I think ok? (See rant) having the painful gas pains and random uterus aches and pains
Rants/Raves: RANT Monday was the first weekday of summer and I'm home with my 2 y.o. and 5 y.o. started feeling achy in the middle of the day and was like huh this is a weird pregnancy symptom. Nope- it was strep! Got amoxicillin but had non-stop fevers for about 24 hours, couldn't talk, and spent most of Tuesday vomiting from either the antibiotics or pregnancy. My h had to work bc we're going on vacation so I was home alone with the two kids. I'm back on my feet today but a bit worried about what the 24 hours of fevers/strep could do to this baby. I have PGAL brain anyway and this didn't really help. I called my OBGYN before taking anything and she told me it was fine but I'm a worrier.
Questions: STM anyone get sick at the beginning of pregnancy (fever etc) and have everything be ok?
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? He's reliable and cares deeply for his family. I didn't have that growing up and one of the major things that attracted me to him was how often he talked to his parents and brothers. Plus he's pretty easy on the eyes lol.
No appointments scheduled. Will just wait for 12 week scan.
I feel good. I have continued to run 1 to 2 miles every other day to help stay in shape. It also helps my stomach stay more regular since I got pregnant. No MS just really really hungry and getting over a cold.
Rants/ raves: no rants, or raves it's pretty boring around here
I love that he is kind, gentle. He doesn't mind sleeping with our son if he gets scared at night or playing with him and his trucks for hours. He will help me cook most nights and helps clean. He just seems to really like being the provider, and is getting his PhD, to give our family even more opportunities. I think as long as he is working on a goal he feels happy.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out ASAP!

Questions: Nope
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? He’s such a fun hands-on dad with our 18 month old daughter. He tries so hard to make me happy and is a hard worker.
