How are you feeling?
In tonight's story, EVERYTHING IS AWFUL. Literally went from hardly any symptoms to severe nausea and exhaustion. I'm trying to pace myself with eating but it's the only time I feel better (except last night, I was up all night without reprieve). Gimme all the bread and carbs.
Rants / Raves:
Today I called in sick for our morning meeting because I had to try and get some sleep. Definitely feeling existential dread for the next 7 weeks. Rave is, my sister will be here to visit in a week and I'll be so thankful to spend time with her and also finally reveal the news. It's been a lot harder than I thought to keep this secret!
Questions:
What do you guys eat/use to help combat the nausea?
GTKY: What's your favorite TV show or movie?
Outlander is definitely a favorite.

Baby is starting to grow their little face and has a heartbeat 🤎
Upcoming appointments:
April 5th
How are you feeling?
Rough lol. The nausea is overwhelming. I’m better in the mornings, ironically, but from lunch until the following morning, I’m just one bad smell away from throwing up everywhere 😂. It’s okay, though. Given my history, I’m actually thankful for it. It’s very reassuring even if it’s miserable. Also the fatigue is so real!
Rants / Raves:
Rant: I feel like I’m out of breath a lot which is frustrating
Rave: I did 200 squats and 200 calve raises today and I feel really good about that
Questions:
None that I can think of

The office lol. Hands down, a masterpiece lol

Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of:
A lentil
Upcoming appointments:
March 30th for an ultrasound and initial visit.
How are you feeling?
Eh. "Morning sickness" usually kicks in around 7 or so at night. I haven't been eating dinner because I'm either not hungry or just can't stomach it.
Rants / Raves:
Rant - Saturday was awful - I was super crampy and bloated and basically laid on the couch all day.
Rave - DH has been super supportive and understanding about me not feeling well. Not that he wasn't with my other pregnancies. But he seems extra supportive and understanding this time around.
Questions:
Have you thought about when you'll tell work? I just started a new job in November. My boss and team are absolutely wonderful. But I didn't go into this job thinking that I'd be having any more kids so I've been caught really off guard and feel like I'm going to catch my boss off guard as well.
GTKY: What's your favorite TV show or movie?
Favorite move is Meet Joe Black. Favorite TV shows are The Middle (I identify with the mom so much), Friends and The Big Bang Theory.
Estimated Due Date / Weeks + Days:

Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of:
Baby is growing a wee heart!
Upcoming appointments:
Phone call appt tomorrow, first US and appointment next week.
How are you feeling?
Honestly, anxious. We lost our last at 12 weeks. I don’t feel a ton of symptoms, a little “meh”, a little bloated, not much of an appetite, I wish I felt super sick so I could feel like things were ok.
Rants / Raves:
I feel like bloating hit as soon as the stick was dry. What’s up with that?
Questions:
I use mobile - I can’t seem to easily format my text? Just me? iPhone
GTKY: What's your favorite TV show or movie?
Gilmore Girls!
Unfortunately people do discriminate against pregnancy at work.
11/2 I’m 6w 4d

Team Boy/Girl/Surprise:
Girl- we did Ivf with PGT-A so we knew prior to transfer what we had
Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of:
A sweet pea lol
Upcoming appointments:
Thursday 3/16 - the Ivf team said I’m able to hear the heartbeat this ultrasound (we saw it last week)
How are you feeling?
Bloated but fine…hoping it stays that way!
Rants / Raves:
Rant - going from talking about Ivf all the time to not saying anything because we’re only 6 1/2 weeks in sucks and people are getting suspicious
Rave - Dr cleared me to workout 🙌🏽
GTKY: What's your favorite TV show or movie?
Greys anatomy
Estimated Due Date / Weeks + Days: it was 11/7, but ultrasound measured later so maybe 11/12? We will confirm at next scan
FTM/STM/STM+: STM with a 13 year old daughter
Team Boy/Girl/Surprise: Team Surprise if it was up to me, but hubby wants to find out the gender. Doesn’t matter boy or girl
Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of: a bead from a letter bracelet ❤️
Upcoming appointments: follow-up US on 3/24
How are you feeling? Crampy, nausea on and off, and so tired at least 1-2 times a day where I just need a nap 😂
Rants / Raves: I’m a little ranty about how early we can find out we’re pregnant, but all it does for me is increase the amount of time to wait to be in a “safer zone”, and also gives me more time for anxiety!
Questions: Who is thinking of announcing at Easter?
GTKY: What's your favorite TV show or movie? I don’t really have a favorite show, but we’re loving The Last of Us and 1923, and I love The Crown.
Estimated Due Date / Weeks + Days:
November 1, 7 weeks today
FTM/STM/STM+:
4th time momma
Team Boy/Girl/Surprise:
We're definitely going to find out, but don't know yet. I'm happy with either, but a part of me is hoping for a boy so my son isn't so outnumbered.
Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of:
Baby is about the size of a Brookesia micra chameleon, and as of yesterday has a heatbeat of 119 bpm.
Upcoming appointments:
Still the 27th for my first OB appt, but we ended up having an ultrasound at the ER yesterday. I didn't actually get to see it, but baby is measuring on track and everything is where it's supposed to be.
How are you feeling?
I've been experiencing some very intense sharp pains down low, so my OB's office instructed me to go to the ER to get scanned to be sure this is an intrauterine pregnancy. Thankfully, everything looks good with baby. I've got some cysts that might be the culprit of all the pain. Waiting to hear back from my OB's office to see if they want to keep the first appointment where it is or make any changes.
Rants / Raves:
My toddlers have gone crazy. They suddenly don't need any sleep, ever. Whyyyyyy
Questions:
I've got nothing.
GTKY: What's your favorite TV show or movie?
Right now, The Masked Singer is just about the only show that I make sure I watch each week. Some of my all-time favorites are Gilmore Girls and Big Bang Theory.
Estimated Due Date / Weeks + Days: EDD— 11/3 (based on LMP, I ovulated a little late so could be a little later) I’m guessing 6 weeks 5 days based on LMP, and I’m going with that until my due date is confirmed 3/31
FTM/STM/STM+: third time mama
Team Boy/Girl/Surprise: team definitely finding out! I wish I had it in me to wait lol but this is a tie breaker baby and I’m so excited to find out!
Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of: currently a pea
Upcoming appointments: 3/31 and I cannot wait for it to hurry up and get here lol
How are you feeling? My morning sickness so far is better than my last baby (a boy), similar to when I was pregnant with my girl 13 years ago. Wondering if this baby is a girl maybe haha I was SO sick from very early on until 18 weeks with my boy. 6 weeks until 12 weeks with my girl and very mild. Other symptoms: super tired allll the time, and still so thirsty haha
Rants / Raves: y’all, I just got done dealing with sick kids… my son had a bug Friday that lasted til Monday, and my daughter was sick yesterday. Luckily she was feeling better today! Praying my husband and I don’t get it
