FRIDAY SYMPTOMS

Before we head out and make the 4 hour drive for Thanksgiving #3, I figured I'd hop on The Bump real quick.

Please preface your post with ***QUESTION BELOW*** if you have a question that you'd like feedback on!


How far along are you? 

How are you feeling? 

Rants/Raves? 

GTKY: We'll stick with the holiday theme...what is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie? Bonus points for a GIF!!

    How far along are you? 10w6d

    How are you feeling? Good right now! I think I'm heading out of the nausea phase and into the hungry and horny phase...

    Rants/Raves? Just ordered my UppaBaby Vista for $498... I'm honestly so excited, I feel like I hit the jackpot! Although I am going to have a stroller in my house for 28 weeks pre-baby now!

    GTKY: We'll stick with the holiday theme...what is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie? Bonus points for a GIF!! Love Actually or The Holiday... Love them both but can't gif to save my life! :neutral:

    How are you feeling? Better than yesterday- went to sleep last night at 7:10pm!!  I was up early with my toddler, so it's not like I slept over 10hrs but it was still helpful.  I am feeling anxious though... I'm way past the point at which I had 2 mcs, so I'm feeling hopeful and attached to this pregnancy and pray I don't get my heart broken.  I honestly don't know how I would pick myself back up right now.  Especially as I look and feel so pregnant.

    Rants/Raves?  Rant- I just really don't enjoy dinner time lately.  I always feel so tired, can't think of anything I actually want to eat, have no patience for my toddler if she's moody etc.  I know- first world problems- but I normally love my meals and look forward to big interesting dinners with my family.  
    Rave- I'm glad this site exists.  I'm so distracted by my pregnancy it's nice to just indulge in pregnancy-related info and posts sometimes.

    GTKY: We'll stick with the holiday theme...what is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie? I actually love all lame made-for-tv holiday movies.  I don't know what it is.  I just love the really cheesy, predictable ones with B-list actors.  It's such a guilty pleasure.

    How are you feeling?
    Excited to be into double digit weeks! Still naseous but I'm hoping I'm past the worst of the puking.

    Rants/Raves?
    My brother was excited to find out our news yesterday. Tomorrow we're telling DH's grandparents so I'm hoping for equal excitement. For one set it'll be their first great grand child so I shouldn't be disappointed.

    GTKY: We'll stick with the holiday theme...what is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie? Bonus points for a GIF!!
    The Santa clause. Don't know why but I always loved that movie.
  • How far along are you? 12 weeks!

    How are you feeling? Still nauseous in the AM. Also feeling like I'm smuggling a beach ball, but still trying to suck it in because it's just bloat and organs being pushed up so I feel like I can't really be "showing" yet. 

    Rants - I am so over my BIL. He works for DH and is a 35 year old man child, DH is always bailing him out of some stupid situation and I'm just so tired of his shit. I can't even explain it all becuase it would be way too long, but suffice it to say he's thinking about moving back to his hometown (6 hours away), DH is upset about it and I can't even pretend to give a crap. Byeeeee.

    Raves - Cannot wait to get into some maternity pants. I probably won't need any shirts for a while but I need jeans like ASAP. I am so uncomfortable in anything besides leggings at this point.

    GTKY: We'll stick with the holiday theme...what is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie? The Santa Clause!

    How are you feeling?
    Just tired. Very easily out of breath, too, which is getting frustrating.

    Rants/Raves?
    It's Friday! And I finished DH's main Christmas gift this morning before work (online), so I'm happy about that. I'm usually at a loss for what to get him but I'm excited about his gifts this year!

    (Damn you, mobile. I'll figure out how to GIF from here one day)
    It's not Christmas until I've watched Family Vacation...so damn funny! But I'm a sucker for all Christmas movies. DH & I always make our movie line up (Elf, The Santa Claus movies, Home Alone 1&2, Love Actually, etc).

    Tired tired tired.

    Rants/Raves?
    My cousin announced she was pregnant last night! I'm still planning on announcing at Christmas when I actually get to see my family in person, but ahh it was so hard not to tell her I'm expecting too! She's 2 weeks ahead of me. This is going to be so much more fun with two new babies in the family!

    GTKY: We'll stick with the holiday theme... What is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie?
    This is so hard. Hmm ok. Ever since I was young my family has held big Christmas Eve parties with family and friends. And the movie A Christmas Story is always on tv ... On repeat. So I'm gonna go with that movie.

    How are you feeling? Fine

    Rants/Raves? So glad my in-laws could decide last minute to descend from their pedestal to pay us a visit tomorrow. I'd only planned to cook for the three of us. Yay for last minute trips to the store!

    DH and I have made it a tradition to watch Black Christmas every year on Christmas Eve! It's been a nice palate cleanser after having to watch A Christmas Story, which is my step mom's Xmas Eve tradition.

    I also love The Holiday.

    How are you feeling? Pretty good except I also get very easily out of breath and my heart races with any little activity (like a flight of stairs!)

    Rants/Raves? I caved and bought some maternity clothes because Gap had 50% off their entire site!!

    GTKY: We'll stick with the holiday theme...what is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie? Bonus points for a GIF!! I LOVE Elf and Christmas Vacation :)
  • ***Question Below***

    How fa
    r along are you? 11+6

    How are you feeling? Tired, fully/heavy boobs, random shooting pains through my vagina (yay). Other than that, I'm feeling pretty darn good. **My question: Anyone else here with a short torso? When did you / or are you starting to pop out a little bit? I'm 5'6 with a very short torso. Over the last week or so I've noticed my lower abdomen is a bit more hard and I can't suck it in. I don't think this is bloat anymore. Fully aware that it is different for everyone, just curious if those of you with short torsos saw any change sooner than later.

    Rants/Raves? I get to see my mom, dad and sister tonight! As soon as H gets home from work, we are heading 4 hours north for the weekend. We don't get to see them very often, so I'm pretty excited. My mom has always made a huge deal about the holidays, so I fully expect Christmas music to be playing and something baking in the oven as soon as we walk in the door. I love it.

    GTKY: Favorite Christmas movie...

  • How far along are you? 10w + 5d

    How are you feeling? Like I'm always on the edge of barfing. Diaper changes for my toddler have become a real problem.

    Rants/Raves? My skin is really nice these days. Unless I dare to wear makeup, in which case I erupt into giant, hideous zits. But as long as I keep anything but warm water off of my face, it's flawless.

  • @mrsschmity I am also 5'6" with a short torso. No change yet, but I'm a full week behind you. I didn't show with my first until late in the second tri.

  • @hockeyfan42 Yeah I am definitely the only person that probably even notices, other than H lol I feel like my pants are starting to get a little snug and I've got permabloat.

    I remember feeling like I just looked chubbier, rather than pregnant, because of my short torso. DH disagreed, but eventually it was without a doubt a bump.

    I'm still the mayor of Blumpville here, especially in the evening. :blush:

  • @mrsschmity I'm tall with a long torso. In the mornings my stomach is fairly flat - by end of day I'm sporting a blump. Can't wait for a real bump and not one that's related to all the junk I'm eating!
  • ****Question below****

    How far along are you? 10 weeks 2 days

    How are you feeling? slightly better, still nauseous in the am and dead tired at 830pm. I'm looking forward to going back to a more paleo diet. For right now, it's ALL the carbs!

    Rants/Raves? How do you figure out what you need to buy immediately??? I'm trying to budget and make purchases while I'm at a 100% salary (when I'm on STD for 6 weeks after delivery, I'll only receive 60% pay).

    GTKY: We'll stick with the holiday theme...what is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie? Bonus points for a GIF!! One day I'll figure out the GIF thing.....but I do love me some Home Alone!
  • How far along are you? 9w2d

    How are you feeling? Pretty good. Just exhausted and a little squicky here and there. But hey, naps!

    Rants/Raves? We hosted Thanksgiving yeaterday, and made our announcement. We gathered everyone for a "family picture", except DH set the camera on video mode. He said "Ok, when the camera starts flashing, everyone say.... [crdo]'s pregnant!" After a stunned beat, everyone flipped. My dad literally jumped up and down, my mom, sis, and MIL started sobbing, and everyone else teared up. Lots of hugs and congratulations all around. It truly was a wonderful moment.

    GTKY: We'll stick with the holiday theme...what is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie? Bonus points for a GIF!!
    A Christmas Story, for sure. I also love The Holiday, The Santa Clause, Meet Me in St. Louis (not truly a holiday movie, but my family watches it around Christmas), and Love Actually.

  • @crdo your story made my choke up. hormones!

    @cdnrunning you need stuff for baby to wear, stuff to wipe up spit-up and various other liquids 1000 times a day (baby washcloths and a gazillion receiving blankets), somewhere for baby to sleep, a car seat, some way to transport baby (stroller or carrier or both), and somewhere to set the baby down when you need to do stuff (bouncy chair, swing, something along those lines). and diapers and wipes. that's about it. oh, unless you need a pump. that's a pretty big purchase.

  • Emztron diaper changes are the worst!!! I hear you.
  • Thank you @Emztron500 that is very helpful!
  • @cdnrunning check your insurance regarding a pump! You might get one free.

    @crdo Omg I love Meet Me in St Louis! I have always thought of it as a Christmas movie even though it isn't technically. I'm irrationally excited I'm not the only one lol

    Edit: my quote function didn't work right so I removed and tagged instead :smile:
  • Thanks @hockeyfan42  I suspect I can get one through my husband's insurance. BTW, we're also big hockey fans - me by default, because I was born in Winnipeg :)

    Psh, it's got an iconic Christmas scene, therefore it's a Christmas movie! So much to love about that movie! All the feels.

    Just saw this! I had $400 dollars in loyalist points from bloomingdales (works just like a gift card)... Didn't even know they had strollers!! I have been searching everywhere for black friday deals but couldn't find them on uppababy anywhere. I feel bad bragging since its not a deal anyone can get, but I am so thrilled because I've been lusting over this damn stroller for months!
