Re: Group 2 Check In w/o 9/26
EDD/Weeks+Days: 11w4d EDD 4/12
Baby is the size of: 🤷♀️
Team blue/pink/green: healthy baby
Upcoming Appointments: Oct 4th for NT scan
How are you feeling?: Seems like I may be starting to come to the other side of nausea. It's still there, but not quite as in my face as it was before. Maybe my energy levels will be looking up soon? Fingers crossed anyway.
Rants/Raves: I bought my first lot of maternity clothes from FB marketplace over the weekend, and while it made me nervous, I also found a little bit of excitement. I haven't been able to really allow myself to feel much in the way of positive emotions when it comes to this pregnancy because of where our journey has taken us, so this felt like a bit of a win.
GTKY: What movie can you watch over and over and it never gets old? Mulan, The Little Mermaid, Home Alone... usually any movie that brings some sort of nostalgia.
EDD/Weeks+Days: April 12th; 11w, 5d
Baby is the size of: lime
Team blue/pink/green: we know! 😊
Upcoming Appointments: NT scan Friday 9/30
How are you feeling?: OK
Rants/Raves:
We received our NIPT results yesterday and everything was negative (thank God!)!
We’re still praying for good news on Friday when I go for the NT scan and I’m a little anxious bc my OB told me at my last appointment not to tell too many people yet because she’s seen some NIPT results come back fine and then get bad news during the NT scan. So we are praying hard that will not happen to us and everything will be fine!
My in laws and SIL and niece and nephew are coming into town this weekend and we would love to share with them if everything is good to go. Praying hard for this to be reality!
GTKY: What movie can you watch over and over and it never gets old? While you were sleeping!
EDD/Weeks+Days: 4/10 12 Weeks
Baby is the size of: a donut hole!
Team blue/pink/green: we will find out
Upcoming Appointments: next Friday for NT scan. Still sooooo far away
How are you feeling?: I’m feeling great! The nausea seems to have passed
Rants/Raves: I’m so very tired today after traveling yesterday and having a flight delayed. I have probably 5 kids absent from my morning class so that’s making for a nice quiet morning at least
GTKY: What movie can you watch over and over and it never gets old? Forrest Gump
EDD/Weeks+Days: April 14th / 11W 3D
Baby is the size of: lime 🥰
Team blue/pink/green: I just want my baby.
Upcoming Appointments: 10/20 - my appointments have unfortunately been a little spaced out because the practice is so busy.
How are you feeling?:
I’m more tired than I’ve ever been in my entire life. I’m starting to get a little bit frustrated that I can’t really do a lot of the things I used to do easily. Like, I love woodworking and building furniture and now, while I can do most things just fine, I don’t feel comfortable lifting my heavy equipment onto that spaces I usually use them at. I’m going to have to try to put a lot of things on wheels.
Rants/Raves: I’m so impatient right now about the gender. We did the at home sneak peek test because somehow wires got crossed and I guess we didn’t get the test at the OB. I’m obsessively trying to track the sample return to the lab while also knowing the results aren’t even coming to me, we are supposed to have a reveal on Saturday. The waiting is killing me.
GTKY: What movie can you watch over and over and it never gets old? Clueless! Or mean girls. Anything basic haha.
EDD/Weeks+Days: 4/9; 12w3d
Baby is the size of: Apricot
Team blue/pink/green: finding out soon!
How are you feeling?: Mostly ok....haven't slept well the last few nights. Slightly worried that something could be wrong after a couple fainting spells last night....it hit me like a ton of bricks, all of a sudden. I felt so bad for my partner, but also really grateful he was there....
Rants/Raves: Rant - Tired of family drama. Some people are just determined to be upset no matter what, and I officially do not have the energy to worry about it anymore. Raves - SO excited to try a new bra recommended in the maternity clothes thread on here and (hopefully) feel like I have some real support! Fingers crossed! Also....really excited for NIPT results to come back in the next week!
GTKY: What movie can you watch over and over and it never gets old? Hmmmm, this ones tough for me! I don't tend to rewatch movies a ton...a few that come to mind though - Goonies, Hocus Pocus, The Year Without A Santa Claus....
EDD/Weeks+Days: 12 weeks / April 12th
Baby is the size of: lime
Team blue/pink/green: healthy, happy baby is fine with me, starting to feel like it might be a boy though. But we will see lol
Upcoming Appointments: not until October 19th
How are you feeling?: not too bad, the nausea comes and goes but now I have an aversion to garlic so that's fun.
Rants/Raves: sometimes, it's just easier to be alone. (Sorry long rant ahead, but I have no one else to talk to about this) I've always had a good relationship with my MIL but things are different since having my first child. She has a tendency to be more pushy and give opinions that aren't really needed. We were talking the other day and I basically just said I worry sometimes about how I'm going to keep up with everything with a newborn, a 2 year old and also working full time from home while taking care of them because child care is basically all on me. I mentioned how it's going to be up to me to handle potty training (obviously since my husband works and isn't home during the day) and he does even change poopy diapers now so I'm not expecting that with the next one either. Just stating facts. Well, she told my husband that I was "bashing" him and he came home and was upset with me over it. So I explained what I said and flat out said it's not like it isn't true, our daughter is 2 and he has never given her a bath or really done any of these things. I'll give it to him that he does tend to handle more of the house stuff like lawn care, laundry, garbage, that sort if thing so it's not like there isn't trade off but it can be overwhelming being the only one doing the bulk of the baby duties. And then add another one to the mix. He and I hashed things over and it's fine but I'm still pissed at his mom, she definitely overstepped some boundaries there. I guess I should've just kept my mouth shut in the first place. I basically just told him I don't want her help anymore if it's going to be that way and I will handle everything on my own. He thinks I'm overreacting a bit so I just haven't said anything else about the matter.
(Sorry that was so long. Rant over lol)
GTKY: What movie can you watch over and over and it never gets old? Silver linings playbook. I just love that movie, it's my favorite.
