  • How far along are you? 18+6

    Due date? 10/7

    Upcoming appointments? Anatomy US the first week of June

    Rant/rave? I don’t feel passionately enough to rant about it, but I would really love for my local ikea to open back up—even just the warehouse portion. I am ready to turn my boy’s room into my boys’ room, and I have a dresser picked out but don’t want to pay an extra $50 for shipping. On the other hand, Sherwin-Williams is being amazing right now! They will let you order paint cards from their website, 10 at a time, but no limit on the total number. I think I ended up with about 35 total... then I called my local store for some sample jars and picked them up curbside this morning. I couldn’t find another paint company that would send me the sample cards for free, but maybe they’re out there. 

    Questions? Where are all of my fellow week 1ers? :(

    GTKY: What's one place you want to go to, but have never been? ALL THE PLACES. My husband and I have a dream to do what I am calling a heritage trip—we’re both of European descent but each of us is “from” multiple countries. We’ll hit Ireland, the Netherlands, and Czech Republic for me, and England and Germany for him. I also want to see all 50 states and visit the Canadian Rockies. And visit every ballpark in Major League Baseball.

    Rant/rave? Rant - I wish I was showing more! I feel like my belly is growing just sooo slowly. I know I’ll probably regret complaining about it in a few months.

    Oooh. New Zealand and Egypt

  • @psmk521 I have been feeling the same way about my belly.

    Due date? 10/7 

    Upcoming appointments? Anatomy scan yesterday. We did a sneak peak at 8 weeks which said girl and yesterday we finally got US confirmation. She also did 3D. It was so amazing we cried. 

    Rant/rave?  Ugh COVID go away!! I’m ready to go back to a semi normal life. I’m on furlough for work and not returning til daycare reopens for my 5 yr old which is June 29. I kinda don’t even want to return to my insanely
    stressful job though. But I do hate that we have nothing to do and weather hasn’t been the greatest in MA to just be outside playing. Better days ahead this week and next though! 

    Questions? Anyone experiencing absolutely ZERO sex drive?! I had the exact opposite problem with DS. I’m starting to really feel bad for my SO. 

    GTKY: What's one place you want to go to, but have never been? 
    Disney LAND! We’re WDW Passholders. DisneyLand was going to happen this summer and then we found out we were expecting so it’ll be a few more years now. Coming from the East Coast it might be a once in a lifetime trip and I want the kids to be at good ages and heights to get the most out of the trip. 
  • @psmk521 enjoy that little belly! I’m so big already. I’m afraid what this belly will become by October. I jokingly told SO he’ll be wheeling me out of the house in a wheel barrel 😂
  • @mammatoomc I feel the same way!!! But I am glad to be past the “is she chubby or pregnant” stage! 😂
  • @mammatoomc Nope, opposite problem here.  I am insatiably horny, all the time.  I do hear ya on the belly though - I have already gained 23 points and am HUGE for four months.  Everyone keeps asking if I'm having twins.
    Current pregnancy -
    First BFP on 1/4/22.  Due date 9/13/22.

    Four prior losses, no living children - 1 first trimester miscarriage, 1 blighted ovum, 1 chemical, and one extreme premature live birth daughter who died at 15 days old.


  • @kboydbowman ugh I am so jealous. I was like that with my first but for the life of me cannot find any desire to have sex. I’ve gained 24 pounds already but only gained 3 in the last 6 weeks which is similar to my first. So I’m hoping my gain is slow here on out.

    Upcoming appointments? Had Anatomy US last Wednesday. Confirmed gender. Considered high risk so next specialist appt is June 3

    Rant/rave? Unlike every one, I do have a noticeable baby bump but I’ve lost 17 lbs. and it looks like I keep losing weight. Granted I still had 25 lbs from the last pregnancy that I considered “baby weight” so it’s not like I’m below my “‘normal” weight. My ob isn’t concerned yet, so we will see. 
    Rant - just got a yeast infection and wake up to nosebleeds which are symptoms I haven’t experienced before! 

    Questions? Has anyone gotten weekly progesterone shots? Getting my first round of weekly shots today and I’m so nervous. 

    GTKY: What's one place you want to go to, but have never been?
    greece. Europe. Asia - the other side of the world

    @baseballismyfavoriteseason I miss IKEA so much. My favorite date with my son is a morning at the zoo and then lunch and shopping at IKEA. We’re moving his room and I need new furniture and a few things for the nursery too.

  • @Kurtni I just caved and paid for shipping. I did some looking around for something similar and anything else I liked was about twice as much money so was beyond the additional shipping cost. Since Washington is on the slower side of reopening (which I’m totally okay with!) I can’t predict when IKEA will reopen and I want to start rolling with this room.

    Upcoming appointments? 5/20 for anatomy scan (finally will know if it’s a boy or girl!)

    Rant/rave? Upset that all of my June vacations (had a weekend wedding trip and a week long family trip) are all cancelled. Seriously over COVID. 

    Questions? none currently

    Due date? 10/6

    Upcoming appointments? Anatomy scan on Tuesday finally! And then I see the OB the day after.

    Rant/rave?  I'm extremely sad I most likely won't be seeing my family in Italy this summer. Flipping COVID!!! I'm so ready for it to go away but I'm starting to be sadly realistic that we're in it for the long haul unfortunately. Gah! Let me rave about my yard being done, one more week and we can go in the grass! Just in time for Memorial Day weekend

    @baseballismyfavoriteseason OMG YES TO IKEA!!!I have one 6 minutes away from my house...why can't they do curbside pickup?? Whyyyyy??? We ordered patio furniture and also caved in for shipping. So flipping stupid. It made it ok because we spent about $1000. But still. Now I realized I also need a dresser so I'm gonna have to see if I can edit the order!

    GTKY: I'd love to go to Korea, Argentina and back to New Zealand!
  • @lilbubb, I did progesterone shots with my last pregnancy and am currently doing them now. Not going to lie, they sting like a bitch but you get used to it.

    Upcoming appointments? May 27 for anatomy scan 

    Rant/rave? I’m really ready for life to go back to some sort of normal. It’s hard being home with 3 kids, homeschooling, keeping the house clean, and having my husband on phone calls all day long. 

    Questions?

    GTKY: What's one place you want to go to, but have never been? Alaska. I would love to go on an Alaskan cruise one day.

    @profmcgonagall I’m just really worried bc of covid-19 and to avoid me going to the doctor every week, my husband now has to give me the shots 😫😫
  • @morethanamama @Kurtni Okay I am less mad about ikea being closed still. Because the piece I wanted was in stock at my local store, I got expedited shipping for the same price as regular (I don’t know if that’s typical or if it usually costs more). Placed my order yesterday afternoon, at my house by 9:30 this morning. Worth $49 shipping? That number still kills me. But right now I’m doing a happy dance!!
  • @baseballismyfavoriteseason so you will not believe it but they JUST opened "click and collect" at my store. The stuff we ordered for delivery is all available through that too, so I am hoping I change my order to click and collect and I will call tomorrow. HOWEVER, I tried to proceed with click and collect for the dresser which was not in my delivery order and they said they reached capacity for today and to try again tomorrow...I have a 7 am call so I will wake up early and check again, maybe inquire on the phone as well! How funny this happened after we talked about it. 

    Score about your dresser!!
