  • @coco2787 Good luck at your ultrasound! And Radiohead and Arcade Fire would be awesome
  • @laddy12 My partner can go (they allow one support person over 18), but he's not going to come to any because kids aren't allowed, which means I'll be scheduling all my appointments while they're at school and he's at work. I think when I was pregnant with #2 he got out of work early to come to the anatomy scan. I'll probably try that just for that appointment. I'll be going by myself to the epic 2-hour nurse consultation/blood draw/ultrasound/doctor visit tomorrow. Packing a book and plenty of snacks!
  • @laddy12 In my area no one is allowed to attend doctors appointments with you unless it is medically necessary, and then it’s limited to 1 person. But I did just bring him in to my dating u/s and they didn’t say anything about it. I also took the very last appt at 6pm so maybe that’s why. We were the only ones there. 
  • @and_peggy I hope all is good at your appointment tomorrow! And yes, potty training literally is the worst. You are a superhero for attempting it in the first trimester. I would have told my kid to wait a few weeks :D
  • @wisewitch222 I’ve put it off long enough. He will be 3 in a few weeks and has been ready for a while. Decided to just go for it.

  • @paytonpedro what a relief hearing your baby’s heartbeat. I definitely didn’t think you could find it this early. Glad she could and did! 
  • EDD / Weeks + Days: 6 wks

    Baby is the size of a(n): ladybug

    Team: finding out

    Upcoming Appointments: phone visit tomorrow. In person at the end of the month

    How are you feeling?: still quite anxious. I will be until that first ultrasound and then probably until the anatomy scan. 

    Rants/Raves: total TMI, I'm sorry! These progesterone suppositories are disgusting! If it was once a day, I could just do it before bed and it wouldn't be a big deal but I have to do them twice and it gives me the nastiest discharge and it bothers me all day. 

    Questions: I don't think any! 

    GTKY- What is the best concert you’ve ever been to, or what is your dream concert to go to? Foo Fighters were amazing. I actually don't even listen to their music, but a friend of the family is friends with Dave Grohl so he took me once. So much fun! Eric church is amazing, Rise Against was good back in the day, G love, BB king was epic! Of Monsters and Men was so much fun! I'm sure I could keep going but I won't! 

  • @malloryfrommn That was me in my second pregnancy. I had an aversion to literally all food, and so much fatigue. I was like, "How will I get energy if I don't eat food?" And those Harry Potter concerts sound awesome. I've never been able to make it to one. Did you watch the reunion special on HBO?

    @geshem I hope our appointments both go well today too! Also getting kind of nervous over here... appointment is in just under 3 hours.
  • EDD / Weeks + Days: August 28th/6w1d 

    Baby is the size of a(n): sweet pea

    Team: finding out

    Upcoming Appointments: First u/s with RE this afternoon. Feeling nervous.

    How are you feeling?: Mostly fine. Just fatigued and some food aversions right now. Chicken is the only tolerable meat for now.

    Rants/Raves:  I hate how time has seemed to crawl to this first appointment.

    Questions: Don't really have any right now.

    GTKY- What is the best concert you’ve ever been to, or what is your dream concert to go to?

    We went to 98 Rockfest in October. Mainly went for Candlebox, Seether and Shinedown. It was a great time and really the only fun thing we've done since Covid. I'd love to see MCR in concert though.

  • @wisewitch222 the HP concerts are awesome! I hope you can make it to one someday! I haven't seen the reunion yet but I'm dying to! I have to figure out how to get HBO Max for a trial period or something. Have you seen it yet?
  • @malloryfrommn Yes, I watched it two nights ago. It was really sweet, AND I even learned some new HP anecdotes I didn't already know!
  • EDD / Weeks + Days: 6+6

    Baby is the size of a(n): Blueberry

    Team: Finding out ASAP lol

    Upcoming Appointments: January 17

    How are you feeling?: Meh. Very anxious, very excited.

    Rants/Raves: The pink and white frosted animal cookies are life. 

    Questions: Does anyone else have the hardest time not buying all the baby things? This is not our first baby but every pregnancy I get the urge to start baby shopping right away. I need to stop lol.

    GTKY- What is the best concert you’ve ever been to, or what is your dream concert to go to? I saw Dermot Kennedy at Trees in Dallas in 2018 before he was huge and it was by far the best concert. I don't do big crowd concerts, so it was a dream.

    @aukeev I want to buy baby things as well. I might be slightly obsessed with it! I try to restrain myself until I know the sex though! I haven’t actually bought anything yet!
  • @maggiemadeit well while I haven’t bought any baby stuff yet, I did get some maternity things. I found the new with tags on Poshmark for a steal and couldn’t resist. I already had a summer baby but never actually bought maternity shorts so 🤷🏼‍♀️
  • @paytonpedro I find ways to buy neutral things lol. With DS1 he pretty much only wore grey/black/rust/mustard/olive since I'm a pretty solid neutrals girl, so I've stocked up on those colors and will just add bows if it's a girl. But I am also obsessed with baby carriers and am itching to buy a new Happy Baby Carrier and Wildbird sling haha. 

    @maggiemadeit ooh. I hadn't even thought about maternity clothing sales since it's the off-season...
  • @starkette I love that Muse story!
  • @starkette I’m glad you’re feeling better today! This past year I’ve been a lush with alcohol and thrown up a few times more than I want to admit and I’m so lucky mh can take care of me in that situation. Lol. How sweet of your husband to be so doting! The Muse concert was definitely meant to be! 
  • EDD / Weeks + Days: August 20/7 weeks 3 days

    Baby is the size of a(n): uncooked macaroni

    Team: not finding out yet! 

    Upcoming Appointments: Next Monday US

    How are you feeling?: extremely tired, nauseated, cranky!

    Rants/Raves: I am sick of this stupid covid cough. I can't sleep because of it. 

    Questions: *TW* is light spotting normal?

    GTKY- What is the best concert you’ve ever been to, or what is your dream concert to go to? Either N*SYNC or Garth Brooks back when I was a teenager. So much fun!

    @bridgiebee82 light spotting can be normal. The cervix is super sensitive right now so any irritation (sex, strenuous exercise, exam, etc.) can cause spotting. 

    I’m also super jealous you saw Garth Brooks - seeing him is on my bucket list for sure! 
  • Ditto to what @laddy12 said. Spotting can be totally normal as long as it’s not heavy or accompanied with painful cramps. You could always give your doctor a call and at this point an u/s would be reassuring for you. 
  • I wonder what happened that you landed in bump jail? We are glad to have you back 
  • @leahrnmom Luke Combs puts on a great show! I saw him when he did a stadium show with Jason Aldean and Hootie and the Blowfish a couple years ago - it was awesome!
