How are you feeling?: Excellent! Perky, cute, and suddenly HUNGRY!
Rants/Raves: Not being able to do my thing at crossfit has been tough. Today my workout was so modified it didn't remotely resemble what everyone else was doing. Better than nothing, but still booooo.
Questions:
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? Handmaid's Tale!!! Loving this season. I didn't realize Dear White People was back- going to have to check it out. I loved the new season of Working Moms and just finished it. Also I'm a sci-fi junkie so started watching the new Netflix show Another Life.
How are you feeling?: up and down with nausea/fatigue
Rants/Raves: totally feeling @craftywitch On the workout blues. My docs have all given completely unscientific responses when I’ve asked what I can do for workouts (“don’t lift more than 20 lbs” - with NO supporting reasoning). But loving that I have more energy to do the workouts!
Questions:
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? Hanna on Amazon Prime.
Upcoming appts: 2 weeks How are you feeling?: A little better but still exhausted also starving all the time
Rants/Raves: anxious to find out the sex
Questions: none
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? Ozark, we only have a few episodes left and just starting this season of Orange is the new black
Upcoming appts: Had one today, next one is September 11th
How are you feeling?: Much better, but I still get tired easily. Also, I have to drink so much water to stay hydrated or I feel like crap.
Rants/Raves: Ranting about myself. I’ve been overly concerned about miscarriage and almost detached from the baby. I have been MIA from here because of it. There hasn’t even been something to make me concerned so wtf. I had an appointment today and heartbeat was great and not even difficult to find. I need to turn my thinking around... I know this is my anxiety creeping in and it’s frustrating!
Questions: Favorite place for maternity pants?
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? Catching up on Orange is the New Black.
@aleciaraez I haven't ever experienced a MC myself; however, I believe this kind of anxiety is pretty normal under the circumstances. Maybe a mom who has had a MC can speak to this? Regardless, I would encourage you to be gentle with yourself and maybe access some counselling if you think it might help you manage your anxiety and process your feelings better.
How are you feeling?: I got diagnosed with strep today My gag reflex has hit hard this week! I can't use the electric part of my toothbrush!
Rants/Raves: I am soooo tired. The first week of school is exhausting!
Questions: None this week
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? I just watched "The Last Czars". It was an interesting mix of documentary/drama about the last Romanovs.
@aleciaraez girl I feel that too. Everyone looks great on US but I still have this feeling of not wanting to tell a bunch of people or whatever and I also don’t really feel connected to the babies in there at this point. I think a variety of emotions are normal and OK
How are you feeling?: Lots of random aches and pains, but my back pain from earlier in the week has cleared up, so that's good.
Rants/Raves: Our NIPT results came back: everything is normal and it's a girl!!! Hubby is excited and I'm terrified. I don't really do girly things so what if she turns out to be a peppy cheerleader who likes princesses and makeup? On the other hand, it's 2019 and there are a lot more alternatives out there to the traditional pink bows for baby girls. I found the most adorable purple Batgirl baby walker on Amazon and a onesie with a picture of Princess Peach that says "This princess doesn't need rescuing".
Questions: see above.
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? Rewatching seasons of Modern Family on Amazon.
@mandk1233@brookert615@Swiftlet I appreciate your thoughts. I think I feel better about it just sharing that with you guys and others in my life. I have a diagnosed anxiety disorder and take meds to handle that, but its always interesting how things spring up. I’m going to try my best to keep thinking positive.
@aleciaraez I struggled with that a lot myself. Something I found really helpful was this site: https://datayze.com/miscarriage-reassurer.php It gives you stats on the statistical likelihood of MC based on how far along you are, your age/height/weight/previous MCs, etc. I saw my anxiety go down as the statistical likelihood got smaller and smaller.
@burr1371 I’m so sorry to hear about the strep! My stepson got it his second week of school and I got tested Thursday just to make sure I was safe. I escaped it... Sorry you caught it
