FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

Upcoming Appointments or Results: Ultrasound went well on Thursday! Next appointment is in 4 weeks.

How are you feeling?: Unbelievably tired, general nauseous all the time but not nearly as rough as I know some of you all are experiencing.

Rants/Raves: Just a few more weekend classes left and I'll be done with my MBA! It's been so hard to get through this weekend. I'm so tired and don't feel like participating, but we get points for "professionalism" which is basically participation.

Questions: Nope

GTKY - Christmas music and decorations: too soon or bring it on? (edit) I forgot to answer my own GTKY! For me it's too soon. I go all out for Christmas, but I prefer to wait until after Thanksgiving so I don't burn myself out on it.

Date / Weeks + Days: 7 weeks 2 days

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Upcoming Appointments or Results: Ultrasound #1 a week from Monday 

How are you feeling?: Bone tired. Just can't brain very well. 

Rants/Raves: My husband doesn't believe that I'm experiencing pregnancy symptoms and is blaming my so-called "exhaustion" on laziness, I'm just trying to avoid my responsibilities. He is basing this on the fact that he can't remember me being tired this early in my last pregnancy. The fact that during my last pregnancy I was working a different schedule, napping every day, and didn't have a toddler sapping my energy along with my full time job while I was giving up my 3 coffee a day habit... Hasn't crossed his mind. NO, I'm just trying to get away with doing as little as possible to help us pack and move. 
(Also this is the same guy that told me to stop faking it and get back to work when going into labor coincided with spring cleaning day. You'd think he'd have come out of that with some more sensitivity.) 

GTKY - Christmas music and decorations: too soon or bring it on? Honestly, you're pregnant. Pregnancy is body horror and mood swings. If decorations and songs make you happy, do it.

@mauvelousone OMG I’d kick my husband in the nuts. He’s been helping me so much and feeling bad for me when I’m not feeling well. How does he know how you feel? And why would t he trust what you’re feeling? God, what a jerk!! That’s so frustrating. It’s not like you’re literally growing a human or anything…

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: supposedly 7 weeks 6 days but unsure until follow up ultrasound. 

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Upcoming Appointments or Results: follow up ultrasound 11/09 due to 6 drastically different sets of measurements.   

How are you feeling?: better but still like crap. 

Rants/Raves: if one more person comments on my baby names I’m going to smack them 

GTKY - Christmas music and decorations: too soon or bring it on? As far as I’m concerned it’s still Halloween until thanksgiving. Christmas season begins on December 24.

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days:  EDD 6/13 so 7+?

FTM/STM/TTM+: Third

Upcoming Appointments or Results: First ultrasound Friday finally!

How are you feeling?:  Ugh.  Same old.  Super tired especially the last few days.  So exhaustion, insomnia, nausea, bloated.

Rants/Raves: Rant- I ordered a SneakPeek for fun.  It was supposed to be delivered today and it said they "couldn't access the delivery location" wtf.  We live in a house. With a mailbox.  So I'm not sure what's up but I'm mostly annoyed because my H and I both leave asap in the morning for work trips and my ILs will be here.  They don't know about the pregnancy yet so fingers crossed they don't check our mail for two days.

Questions: None.

GTKY - Christmas music and decorations: too soon or bring it on?  Too soon, but I'm less of a scrooge the older I get.  So we will probably decorate before Thanksgiving this year.

@bww_0331 my blood test kit came in a super discreet package that just said “dna center” or something like that as the sender. Nothing indicative of what it was. 

bww_0331

@marionberry19 that is good to know! They are definitely suspicious and we are telling them soon, but I also don’t need them pestering me about SP results that aren’t guaranteed to be accurate

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Upcoming Appointments or Results: ultrasound a week from Tuesday 

How are you feeling?: nauseated and starving and thirsty

Rants/Raves: my mother came over (she doesn’t know) and took my son to the park for a bit. Which was nice. But it was coupled with trying to tell us how to parent. Less nice. 😡

Questions: TW: I called my doctors’ office today because of concerning discharge. They assure me that it’s probably nothing. But also uuuuugh. 

GTKY - Christmas music and decorations: too soon or bring it on? Too soon. However the Garfield Thanksgiving special from the 80’s is a hoot and is on YouTube.

Rants/Raves:

Questions: 

GTKY - Christmas music and decorations: too soon or bring it on? Bring it on! I had Xmas music on all day today while I baked, I’ve already had a seasonal beverage from Starbucks, I’m ready to buy more decorations.  

@mauvelousone I want to slap your husband for you.  I hope he stops being a jerk. You should give us his email so we can all start sending him facts on the first trimester 

@pinkkillersheep high five on the MBA!!! Congrats!

Upcoming Appointments or Results: 11/16 first ob appt. (Was the soonest they had available that worked with my schedule ugh.)

How are you feeling?: Tired and Nauseous...and cranky. Lol

Rants/Raves: none. Even though I'm pretty cranky I'm not really "upset" about anything. I am sure this will change if you ask me in an hour. 🤣

Questions: none

GTKY - Christmas music and decorations: too soon or bring it on? 

Too soon. I host Thanksgiving so I don't even THINK about Christmas until afterwards. Although this year I do plan on buying gifts sooner. I think I'm limiting the amount of gifts this yr to 2 per person. Got a new baby to prep for lol

Upcoming Appointments or Results:  Ultrasound Nov 15 

How are you feeling?: Tired and have a terrible gag reflex but no nausea yet thankfully!

Rants/Raves: Extra hour of sleep today with the time change!

Questions: None

GTKY - Christmas music and decorations: too soon or bring it on?   Too soon, I wait until after November 11, we had Thanksgiving in October (in Canada). So pumped to start putting decorations up though! However, I will admit I have been watching Hallmark Christmas Movies!

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: June 13 / 8w + 6d

FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

Upcoming Appointments or Results: Had our 1st US last week and so grateful everything looked good.  Can't believe we have to wait another 4 weeks to see the baby again!

How are you feeling?: Not great. Better in the mornings (but I threw up a lovely breakfast my boyfriend made me this morning), but throughout the day I become so lethargic. If I take a nap, then that groggy sick feeling follows me the rest of the day.  Sometimes a headache kicks in as well.

Rants/Raves: I didn't expect to feel this bad.  But at the same time it's like a dull discomfort so I know I have it better than a lot of people but I don't feel like myself and it's pretty difficult.

Questions: Next week I have genetic counseling and then the genetic kit and NIPT blood test.  We are excited to find out the gender.  But I'm wondering if any of the tests on that day confirm that I am STILL pregnant.  It was so wonderful to see the US and it's going to be so difficult to wait for the next US - what if something happens between now and then? I wish there was a way to confirm along the way everything was still going well. Any tips?

GTKY - Christmas music and decorations: too soon or bring it on? I was raised on the rule no christmas music until the day after Thanksgiving and i think that's right but I CAN'T WAIT!

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: June 8th, 9+5

FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

Upcoming Appointments or Results: listening to heartbeat and blood draw on Thursday. 

How are you feeling?: slightly better now that I’m taking my prenatals at night instead of with breakfast or lunch. 

Rants/Raves: surprisingly no rants today. Rave is that I have the absolute best, most supportive husband 🥰

Questions: 

GTKY - Christmas music and decorations: too soon or bring it on? Nooo not yet. Fall isn’t long enough as it is. Everyone gets so angry when us fall lovers wanna start early, but are fine pushing fall out of the way for Christmas. 

KFrob

@furmama2babymama I maybe a Christmas pusher, but I am also a fall pusher!  By Labor Day I’m like why is it so hot, where are the pumpkins, fall wreath on the door.  Maybe I’m just an impatient person….. lol

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 6/22, 7w5d

FTM/STM/TTM+: third

Upcoming Appointments or Results: ultrasound on Friday

How are you feeling?: Anxious for ultrasound. Tired. Last night I passed out at 9 pm as soon as my head hit the pillow. And mood swings according to DH (of course I don't think I have any lol). 

Rants/Raves: Rant - I'm having major sleep issues. I went from being able to sleep peacefully all night to waking up 4-5 times to pee and not being able to fall back asleep for an hour during 1 of those wakeups. Rave - Not having nausea or any yucky feelings, which of course has me worried as well. 

Questions: 

GTKY - Christmas music and decorations: too soon or bring it on? Too soon and I love holiday decor and music. We'll start decorating after Thanksgiving.

Est due date / Weeks + Days:  6/16, 8w4d

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Upcoming appointments or Reports: Intake appointment tomorrow with a nurse. Then I’m assuming an ultrasound later this week and finally meet with a provider at some point….

How are you feeling? Terrible. For some reason, this time around it feels so much worse and like these symptoms will never end. I’m nauseous, vomit at least once a day, I have headaches, I’m exhausted but I have terrible trouble sleeping, and I’m just anxious about having another baby. I cried last night because I didn’t know how I much longer I could take this, but then I felt like an ungrateful baby. Ahhh motherhood. 

Rants/Raves: I’m gearing up for a fight with my OB front desk staff because they are rude and never let me schedule with the providers that I want to see. With my last pregnancy, I had to drive to their other clinic two towns over multiple times! I do love the midwives and doctors there so that’s why I still stay but ughhhh.

GTKY: Christmas music and decorations: too soon or bring it on? I love Christmas. I would say yes except I have absolutely no energy to decorate. My husband may put up our tree soon though!
