Upcoming Appointments? 2nd ultrasound on Monday

Cravings/Symptoms? As mentioned in the What My Pregnant Self is Eating thread, I've been eating a lot of cheese lately. I don't know if that really counts as a craving. There hasn't been anything I MUST have. Symptoms run the gamut of having to pee all the time, gassy, heartburn/acid reflux, sore boobs that come and go, and a flare up of my eczema. Nothing too bad, grateful I feel really good and the bleeding has stopped. 

How are you doing? Rants/Raves/Randoms? Rave/Random: I took myself off pelvic rest because we've had no more signs of any bleeding after my SCH scare and my Dr said we can proceed if/when we feel comfortable. Since I think I'm in the minority of women who actually feel good during 1st tri, maybe I'm also one of the few who is finding their libido has increased too. 

Questions? Who have you told about your pregnancy so far? We've told our parents and siblings, MH's grandmother, and I've told 2 close friends and MH has told a couple colleagues because he's been missing a lot of work lately but his logic is that he doesn't want to tell anyone else until we've told the rest of our families, and we haven't figured out a good way to do that yet. I'm excited to tell people but covid makes it so hard, I want to do it face to face so I can see their reactions! Facetime just isn't the same.

@kiki047 so exciting that your 2nd ultrasound is almost here!  definitely cannot relate to the libido increase.  i am SO tired that i think if we tried it would be a disaster. i feel like i have a high libido normally, and to be feeling the opposite is really strange.  and we've told our parents and siblings, plus two of my coworkers.  we conveniently have dinner scheduled with some close friends the night of my 12wk scan so that will kick off announcements for us!

How far along are you? 9+5

Upcoming Appointments? 10/29

Cravings/Symptoms? tired, nausea, lots of congestion

How are you doing? Rants/Raves/Randoms? well i just woke up from my daily nap so currently a little groggy.  but overall feeling good!  been dealing with some annoying work stuff this week and i have not been in the mood for it.

Questions? none atm

How far along are you? 11 weeks, 5 days

Upcoming Appointments? Just had one with my OB on Monday and next week I have my first MFM appointment! They'll do an NT scan and then the appointment with the doctor after that. 

Cravings/Symptoms? Still just dealing with nausea. It definitely doesn't seem as bad the last couple of days so fingers crossed I'm getting to the other side of it. We'll see how it goes tomorrow though because I'm out of nausea meds at the moment.

How are you doing? Rants/Raves/Randoms? I'm okay. Really just trying to survive this first trimester! Rave: I'm excited because we're announcing on social media tonight and I don't have to worry about keeping it a secret anymore! We actually announced to the rest of our family that didn't know earlier this week and to our companies as well. Rant: I lost it on one of our Sales people today because he's an idiot and was messing with things he doesn't know anything about. 

Questions? Nope!

kiki047

@gusgus14 so excited for your announcement! What do you have planned? Hopefully we can get our announcement thread up soon.

@kiki047 I’ll post in the announcements thread but I just got some letter balloons to spell out “Oh baby baby” and hung them up and captioned it “Adding not just one but two to our crew. Our TWINS are due May 2021!”
