Re: Weekly check-in 4/9
Team blue/pink/green: green
Upcoming Appointments: next week
How are you feeling?: okay! Nausua has come back in waves and heartburn is rough around bedtime but I’m going to ask my OB about what I can take daily to manage it.
Rants/Raves:
rave: DIRT WORK HAS STARTED ON OUR HOUSE! We are waiting for the bank to approve the loan (we’ve been pre approved) and now it’s starting to feel real!!!
Questions:
Im excited to see my first bub be a big brother. And honestly, kind of excited about breastfeeding again. I weaned my first at 20 months when I got pregnant and didn’t realize how much I’d miss it looking back at pictures of him being so sweet and tiny nursing 🥺
I was so over it when I weaned- and I know I’ll eventually get that way again, but still. It’s such a sweet bond between mama and baby!
Team blue/pink/green: pink
Upcoming Appointments: just had anatomy scan yesterday so nothing for a few more weeks
How are you feeling?: pretty good. Digestive issues have been a pain. Taking a break from iron pills and aspirin for a few days to see if it helps
Rants/Raves: I wish I could find the version of myself that volunteered to coach u6 soccer a when I was 15 weeks and tell her not to do it lol. It is not fun being pregnant and chasing around a bunch of 5 year olds who definitely do not listen.
Questions: who has had a Snoo for their previous baby? I swear I never heard of it when I had my first two but I am intrigued. It’s expensive but it gets more sleep it’s worth it.
Team blue/pink/green:green
Upcoming Appointments: anatomy scan tomorrow
How are you feeling?: Bloated!
Rants/Raves: rant- Everything being shifted upward has definitely made it even tougher to get comfortable at night. rave- I'm super excited about our upcoming baby moon in Vegas
Questions: none
Team blue/pink/green: green
Upcoming Appointments: my next appointment is tomorrow.
How are you feeling?: feeling good. I have noticed there is a lot less space already, so getting full faster and out of breath sometimes.
Rants/Raves: rave: looking forward to my oldest son’s birthday party this weekend. He is excited, we are having it at the trampoline park and his best friends from school are coming. Can’t believe he is going to be 6!
Questions:
Team blue/pink/green: Blue
Upcoming Appointments: 5/7
How are you feeling?: I’m feeling really good, happy everything has been going smoothly
Rants/Raves: loving feeling my little guys kick all day long! My husband felt him this past weekend for the first time.
Questions:
@theneno1012 - My coworker shared she used the Snoo and it was a lifesaver. She suggested I rent it since it only used for a couple months. I’d love to hear more experiences of moms that have used it too!
Team blue/pink/green: blue 💙
Upcoming Appointments: Anatomy scan is next week. Feeling a little nervous. My friend who is an ultrasound tech said she wouldn’t even tell anyone she’s pregnant until after the anatomy scan given what she sees in her job. It was a pragmatic comment but fed a little unease
How are you feeling?: so much more energy the past few weeks. Starting to feel movement has made it all feel more real and exciting
Rants/Raves: My company did layoffs this winter and then I immediately found out I’m pregnant. I’m in the final interview rounds for a few jobs, but mentally my hearts not in it especially given how little parental leave would be available for a new employee. Debating with myself if it’d be better for us all if I just took some time off for the baby
Questions: Anyone else take a career pause for parenthood and transition back into paid work?
