Re: Weekly Check-in Group 1 (3/1-3/8) w/o 7/29
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: team finding out this time!
Baby is the size of a(n): wild strawberry
Upcoming appts: first Appt Thursday! Cannot wait!
How are you feeling?: exhausted, nauseous, hungry, headache, uncomfortable, bloated, food aversions. Feeling way more than 8 weeks pregnant! Blehhh
Rants/Raves: rant- Trying to be a good mom to a 3 year old is so hard when you feel like shit (i’m home with her all summer). Rave- I’m so lucky to have a hands on, understanding husband who is
working full time and picking up all the slck at home.
Questions: Anyone else feel like they’re showing a little yet? I was overweight before and the bloat is real! But i feel like my stomach is a little bigger and firmer already. Seems too soon!
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing before summer ends? We’re going to hershey Park in 2 weeks just the 3 of us. Can’t wait!
Baby #2 Due 3/7/20
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: definitely finding out!
Baby is the size of a(n): Blackberry
Upcoming appts: 8/22 is my next one!
How are you feeling?: Pretty good! Symptoms have subsided a bit, so I'm starting to feel more like a functional human again.
Rants/Raves: none that I can think of at this time.
Questions: How do you all handle people acting like you're going to break if you lift anything or do anything physical? While I know DH is being very protective of me/baby, I'm starting to feel like a waste of space on my own house because he won't let me do anything!
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing before summer ends? My summer already ended
@laurenm2123 I totally feel like I'm already showing! Mine is really probably just bloat, though -- first pregnancy for me, though, so showing this early seems a little soon!
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming appts: 8/9
How are you feeling?: I'm late to the nausea game but it's coming on really strong this week. I'm also suuuper exhausted and my breasts are sooo sore!
Rants/Raves: I'm a pretty happy camper right now.
Questions:
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing before summer ends? My mom is coming out to visit next month to help me set up my classroom for the year. She loves to put up bulletin boards and it's my least favorite part about teaching little people so I'm really excited to have her here to help with that. We had a really eventful start to our summer so it will be nice to relax over the next few weeks before school starts back up.
@heyahelmett I've been saying "Thanks for your concern. I think I'll be alright" and just doing whatever people are nervous about. I don't have too many really physical things to do but I have also noticed people acting like I'm made of glass.
EDD/W+D: March 8, 8+2
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Green — I don’t have a preference, but can’t keep a secret and DH wants to be surprised
Baby is the size of a(n): small Lego brick
Upcoming appts: 8/26 x2
How are you feeling?: Relieved. ~TW~ Had a big SCH scare (bright red blood dripping) earlier this week, but saw super reassuring growth and heartbeat. ~end~ And bloated, nauseated, tired, etc, etc.
Rants/Raves: Just got back from a really lovely weekend in Seattle and after my freak-out earlier this week, everything seems pretty great.
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing before summer ends? Have a couple camping trips planned that will be beautiful and fun. One in particular involves an inflatable SUP and watching pup (and DH) swim to heart’s content. Lake water is cold for me 🥶
Hard to tag on the app, but love that partners are being (sometimes overly) supportive!
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: green
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming appts: August 9th - it will be my first appt with the midwife
How are you feeling?: nauseous, low energy and always hungry
Rants/Raves: Last weekend we went camping and I was cleaning out the trailer when something fell on my head. Luckily I was kneeling and wiping the floor at the time so I didn’t incur a fall. Long story short, the baby is okay but I’m recovering from a concussion. My dr put me on bedrest for 3 days and I’m work for a week. Being concussed and pregnant at the same time has been very challenging but I’m starting to feel better - slowly but surely.
Questions: I don’t really have any right now...
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing before summer ends? Camping some more 🙂
@heyahelmett try being on restricted activities - there’s only so much Netflix a girl can watch and things like having to wait for DH to have time to unload the dishwasher and reload are driving me a bit crazy
@sivosk oh that’s so sweet of your mom to help
@pdx2020 glad to hear your scare was ok in the end!
@jentylea oh no! Concussion is no joke. Do take the doctors seriously and rest up - doing too much too soon really delays recovery and you might not realize it until later.
Sorry I missed the last few weeks as things were a bit crazy - hoping to be a bit more active again now
EDD/W+D: 7th March, 8+4
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out (but legally not allowed until after 14 weeks)
Baby is the size of a(n): Denise’s Pygmy seahorse - And it looks like one too lol!
Upcoming appts: I had a TVUS yesterday, basically had one a week as after our viability scan I had quite a bit of spotting and cramping. In the end it seems it’s my adenomyosis which has grown due to the extra blood flow and hormones. So I’ve been on “couch rest” since Friday just not to anger it any more than necessary. LO is doing great and so far the adeno is not affecting but we have to watch as everything grows. We also had the appointment to discuss and plan the first trimester screening.
Intralipids coming up Thursday,
How are you feeling?: I was doing well until mid of last week as super strong nausea had only been from 7pm to 7am so I could sleep through most of it - and since then it is all day. I also found if I go more than 2 hours without food I need to sleep for a few more hours before I can eat anything again. I’ve not been sick at all - but I’ve still lost quite some weight which dr is ok about for now but we are watching. The Intralipids should help me with 3000 calories in one hour! Otherwise very tired - napping for 2-3 hours every afternoon and sleeping 10 hours a night with one bathroom break.
Rants/Raves: We started having our terrace completely remodeled back at Easter and it’s still not done.... and the weather is awesome...
Questions: Nope
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing before summer ends?
Sitting out on my terrace hopefully lol!

Team finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming appts: August 12th
How are you feeling?: not the greatest. this all day nausea has got to go. I wish I could just sit back and enjoy pregnancy, but this sickness just makes me wish the 1st tri would hurry up.
Rants/Raves: This summer is going by entirely too quickly. I feel like it just started and here we are coming up on school starting again.
Questions: none at the moment
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing before summer ends? hoping to feel well enough to get out to the lake/camping a couple more times.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): cherry
Upcoming appts: 8/6... please hurry!
How are you feeling?: Pretty much the same, have had very minimal symptoms so far. The only daily symptom seems to be headaches... ugh. And of course I always appreciate a nap 😏 Last week my boobs felt like I was carrying bricks on my chest but this week that has subsided.
Rants/Raves: Rant... starting to lose my patience between ultrasounds. My mind runs wild almost every day with fear. I just want to feel my baby!
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing before summer ends? Hubby and I are driving to the beach to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. And of course I’m looking forward to telling our families about our little one ❤️
