Re: Tuesday Check In
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: I failed at cleaning yesterday (3 hour nap, ate dinner, played on the bump then went to bed at 10pm)...but my baby cousin (read 23 years old and in med school- but I baby sat her so she is a baby) is coming Thurs afternoon so I will spic and span the house by then
Rant/rave/symptoms: I have had very little in the way of symptoms so I peed on a wondfo yesterday.. def still positive but not strong (but then again I tried to do it midstream and prob sucked- will try with a cup today)... I am also well aware this is crazy but I have not had any type of blood draw and scheduled a private US for this Friday before my in house consultation with my midwife on Monday AM.
Questions for the Group: Are there any other GF peeps on here? If so what are you snacking on because I am getting sick of my Nakd bars but they carry so easily!
GTKY: Ideal date night for you and SO: Thai take away, Binge watching something (Battlestar, OINTB etc).. prior to getting KU we would finish dinner with a sampling of Whisky ( we have 15+ single malts and many blends)

But you're doing such a great job, @ACleanLife
Week: 4w1d
What's new with baby (size, development): Poppyseed - I'm so over this. I want an apple seed now!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: getting the results of my bloodwork today. Also, someone who borrowed a lot of my pregnancy clothes is coming over. I may or may not have subtly asked her if she by any chance had this pair of pants I missed. She took the hint and is bringing me some stuff of hers tonight.
Rant/rave/symptoms: Fatigue kicked in. This may have to do with the fact that I slept very badly since my BFP and with the heat. At least the heat is finally leaving.
Questions for the Group: none, again.
GTKY: Ideal date night for you and SO: I really want to go for dinner at a new place I went to with friends, and then maybe go for one or two (non-alcholic) drinks afterwards. In fact, I planned to do so yesterday for our anniversary, I had the babysitter lined up and all. But with both him and DD being sick, our plans fell through.
@chickendancefever I am so sorry- prayers for you!
Week: 5 w, 3 d
What's new?: Appleseed
What am I doing? Made my first prenatal appt yesterday for 9 weeks- they said it will just be history and bloodwork. How do all these women get early ultrasounds or hear the heartbeat at 6 weeks?! Jealous.
Rants/raves/symptoms: still just sore boobs. Had some weird side aches yesterday but they went away.
Questions: can't think of any right now
Gtky: right now we're into golf so I think we would spend the afternoon golfing and then grill burgers and sit on the deck followed by ice cream and Netflix!

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: I've already bought maternity clothes - yes, I know I'm nuts, but they were on sale!!

My Chart
Still a poppyseed
SO and I are going to look at a house that could hopefully be our first home! (We rent now but I am so done with renting!).
Nausea. Like no tomorrow. But I'm glad to have symptoms this time around. I know it doesn't really mean anything but it helps for sure to ease my mind a bit.
No questions...
My ideal date night would probably be minecraft til we pass out hopefully beating the game! (Or call of duty, battlefeild, halo, or GTA...just video games really)
I will for sure! From what I've seen I totally love the place the only problem I have (again so far) is it has no fenced in back yard...but that can be fixed since it has plenty of space to put one.
What's new with baby (size, development): Appleseed
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: I am starting to think about it we will get the baby a new crib and keep DS in his convertible toddler bed or if we will get DS a new toddler bed and put his crib back together. I'm also starting to think about how I will arrange DS's new room (baby will take his current one) and what the theme will be.
Rant/rave/symptoms: still extremely tired but fighting through it so DH and I can spend time together once DS goes to bed.
Questions for the Group: none
GTKY: Ideal date night for you and SO: it's lame but just going out to dinner with DH. I love going out as a family but it's so nice to go out with just DH and not have to help DS with his food or entertain him.
