Re: Group 1 (3/1-3/8) Check In W/o 7/15

  • EDD/W+D: March 1/7+1

    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out

    Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry

    Upcoming appts: Went in last Thursday for initial ultrasound and confirmed that there is just one babe, did not see heartbeat yet, next appointment August 1

    How are you feeling?: About the same, a bit like a sloth, activity is difficult!! Some aversions but still trying to pin down the triggers, I think it's just whatever is in my vicinity when a wave of nausea hits. A little dizzy occasionally!

    Rants/Raves: Time is cruel!! I thought this pregnancy would fly by having two little ones on my hands to occupy my time, but nope, not the case so far. 

    Questions: Anyone else on progesterone supplements? I am on them again for this pregnancy and was for my second pregnancy as well. 

    GTKY: What are some of your favorite books and/or podcasts? Stole this from group 2, because I'm not very creative...maybe if I read more, hmmm...but I occasionally listen to The Hidden Brain and How I Built This podcasts
  • EDD/W+D: 3-7 / 6+2

    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Probably finding out.

    Baby is the size of a(n): chocolate chip! Which reminds me that I’m hungry for chocolate chips!

    Upcoming appts:  June 26 but I’m feeling ssoooo impatient about it!

     How are you feeling?: I’m feeling good! It’s hard for me to believe that I’m actually pregnant because the only symptom that I’ve noticed is sore boobs. I had some mild cramping last week but that seems to have disappeared!

     Rants/Raves: Rave: I got to tell my mom, grandma, and best friend that I’m pregnant this weekend. They live in another state and I really wanted to tell them in person even though it’s so early. I also got to meet my besties newest baby who is 2 months old. Today I’m headed home to my husband and I really missed him so I’m excited for that. Rant: The Uber from the airport to our house was going to be nearly $100. So I decided to take the train to save some $$$

     Questions: None at the moment. 

     GTKY: What are some of your favorite books and/or podcasts? I haven’t been able to get into podcasts but I do love reading and especially now that it’s summer and I’ve got some time. I’m a Harry Potter nerd and reread them ever couple of years. Right now I’m finishing up A Man Called Ove and just started Big Little Lies on the plane this morning!

    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out

    Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry 

    Upcoming appts: Had my first today, met with the new doctor we chose and her staff. Really liked the office and nursing staff.

    How are you feeling?: A little queasy here and there, only a few cookie tossing episode. Overall, really anxious and worried and just want to get out of the "danger zone".

    Rants/Raves: Loved getting to do the first appointment today but kind of ranting over the fact that this office doesn't do a sonogram before 10 weeks.

    Questions: 

    GTKY: What are some of your favorite books and/or podcasts? I love the podcast My Favorite Murder and ALL the Harry Potter books!

    Upcoming appts: July 26. Cannot come soon enough! 

    How are you feeling?: So. Dang. Tired. Also nauseated. And the pregnancy rage is real. I cannot believe how much faster my body is changing this time around also. I started having some ligament pains, and my hips are really sore. This is going to be a loooooong pregnancy. 

    Rants/Raves: I just want to have an entire day to sleep. By myself. 

    Questions: can’t think of anything!

    Questions: Anyone else using a midwife?

    GTKY: What are some of your favorite books and/or podcasts? I listen to My Favorite Murder & the Chris D’Elia podcast every week- love them! I read a lot but nothing is popping out to me at the moment, classics like Gone with the Wind are always good go to’s for me

    Questions: Anyone in NorCal south bay? Any doctor recommendations?

    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: team finding out

    Baby is the size of a(n):  ? 

    Upcoming appts: had my first ultrasound today, 7/17, and I'm happy to report there was a baby with a healthy heartbeat.  next appointment, first check-in with the midwife on 8/12. 

    How are you feeling?: Not too terrible yet, though evenings suck - the fatigue really seems to set in and all I want to do is go to bed ridiculously early.  Off and on nausea, so far it's been manageable if I remember to eat often enough. 

    Rants/Raves: I'm so excited for a good ultrasound result today.. it helps set my mind at ease a little.  Rant.. my house - seems to constantly sprout messes everywhere, and I'm too tired lately to keep up.   If I see another dirty dish I am just gonna snap. 

    Questions: none at the moment

    GTKY: What are some of your favorite books and/or podcasts?  Love pretty much any book I can get my hands on, though lately I haven't had much spare time for reading.  I loved the Little House on the Prairie books when I was young, and I still re-read them to my kids.  I am a big fan of the Amish romance novels...  huge guilty pleasure. :) I guess I like reading about simpler times.  lol.

    EDD/W+D: 3/3, 7+2

    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out!

    Baby is the size of a: Blueberry

    Upcoming appts: 7/22... I’ve never been so excited for a Monday before!

    How are you feeling?: Physically, fine. Mentally, I’m a mess.

    Rants: I’m going CRAZY!! I feel like I had more symptoms week 5-6... all of a sudden I feel normal. The food aversions have disappeared and my boobs aren’t as sore anymore. DH swears my boobs are still swollen but I can’t tell. I swear pregnancy is more difficult mentally than physically. I wish I had the will power to stop googling everything. I don’t know how I’m going to survive the wait between appointments!!
  • EDD/W+D:  6w6d EDD 3/7

    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: I think we will find out this time! Let it settle in with DD and know if I need to get her baby clothes out of the basement!

    Baby is the size of a(n): Blueberry

    Upcoming appts: 1st Appt 8/1- very excited just want to know everything is good. A week of vacation away has helped with the anxiety of waiting until almost 9 weeks for my first Appt

    How are you feeling?: Slightly nauseous, exhausted, hungry, bloated, sore boobs, moody

    Rants/Raves: So much harder when you have another kid to watch! I’m also convinced I’ve gained about 10 pounds already because all I want is carbs and cheeseburgers  :# 

    Questions: 

    GTKY: What are some of your favorite books and/or podcasts? I love murder stuff too! Currently love Casefile for podcasts. Just finished where the crawdads sing which is good!

    Baby #2 Due 3/7/20
  • @laurenm2123 I started Where the Crawdads Sing, and haven’t gotten into it. I quit and went back to some other books but I keep meaning to go back to it. 
  • 6w6d—EDD is 3/9, but if I elect to do another csection, this will change!

    team? Finding out ASAP! Like. I bought a Sneak Peak test on Prime Day.

    Baby is the size of a honey bee!

    My first appointment isn’t until the 30th. I found out I was pregnant at 11dpo, so this has been an absurdly long wait 😬. 

    I’m exhausted. And nauseous, which I didn’t have with baby number 1. 

    My sense of smell has already taken off and it’s the worst. I’m also endlessly hungry! All I want are cheese quesadillas 😭😭😭

    EDD: 3/3. 7W6D right now.

    Team Finding Out! My mom works at a baby store and is more than slightly enthused to use all her store credit and discounts on her first grandbaby!

    Baby is the size of a keyboard key today.

    Upcoming (first) appointment 7/25, ultrasound included. So excited to see our Lil' Bumpy for the first time!

    Feeling exhausted, moody (I cried over a pack of gummy bears earlier), nauseous all the time. The nausea is making me anxious to the point of being on the verge of a panic attack as I have emetophobia (fear or vomit or anything related to it) but I'm trying to remind myself that it's normal and healthy.

    Rants/Raves: I go back to work tomorrow after a 3 week "summer vacation" as mandated by my job and I'm dreading the 10-hour days!

    Currently not reading or listening to anything. I kinda just play World of Warcraft :/
