Alright. My stomach still isn't feeling great, but other than that I feel pretty decent.
Rants/Raves?
Our new fridge is being delivered today & I have my first appointment with my midwife this afternoon...exciting day!
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?!
Good question. My mom & husband have been asking the same, lol. I don't know...gift cards, money (so I can put it towards a really nice diaper bag, since it will likely also act as my purse)...that's about all I've come up with. I've been telling DH I want a nice pair of headphones, but the ones I've been eying are way over the price limit, lol.
How are you feeling? Good today, just a little queasy.
Rants/Raves? Doctors appointment today! Should hear the heartbeat on doppler!
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! DH and I have made some large purchases this year, so we decided we aren't purchasing gifts for one another. So, I guess I'd really just like my TV fixed
@DeePaddy24 Yes I am! I got to the office super early today and nobody is here yet, obviously because it's too freaking early to be at work lol Good luck at your midwife appt today! Let us know how it goes!
How far along are you? 12+5
How are you feeling? Overall, good. I think my energy is slowly starting to come back. FINALLY!!
Rants/Raves? Excited to go cut down our Christmas tree this weekend and finish decorating! I have been listening to Christmas music to and from work for the last week...DH is ready to get rid of the radio lol
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! I'm having a hard time thinking of things this year. I prefer experiences rather than things. Groupon has some great adventures/things to do type things that I would love to get! Otherwise, some new kitchen and house stuff.
Rants/Raves? I think I need to go back to visit my parents. I was naseous but I managed to keep the puke down while we were visiting them.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! Honestly, gift cards to put towards baby stuff when we get around to actually being ready to buy anything. There isn't anything else that we actually need at this point.
@DeePaddy24: Let us know how your midwife appt goes! And woohoo for a new fridge!
@mrsschmity: Glad your energy is coming back! We're getting our tree this weekend too, although we'll be going to home depot, haha. Sounds pretty fun to cut down your own!
Looks like today is the day of appointments! Hope everything goes well @DeePaddy24 and @crdo!
How far along are you? 10w5d
How are you feeling? Counting down until all of my medicine kicks in. Until then, I feel slightly nauseous, dizzy, groggy, and TIRED.
Rants/Raves? Ultrasound today!!!! This will be the first time we get to see our baby and I'm so excited, but so nervous. I hope everything is okay!
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! Nothing big. DH and I keep Amazon wishlists all year round (for birthdays and Xmas), so just whatever's on there... mostly just camping stuff, movies, board games, and gift cards.
Yay for appointments today!! Keep us updated please
How far along are you? 10+5
How are you feeling? Still feeling good which makes me uneasy but trying to stay positive. Although I've been a bit emotional so maybe that's my new thing ha
Rants/Raves? I wish my doctor wasn't out of the office this week because we were supposed to have our second appointment but had to schedule for Monday. I'm counting down the days!!
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! We already cheated and bought some stuff together on black Friday like maternity clothes but I know DH is going to do something else even though we agreed not to. I guess I can't complain lol
@mrsschmity: My goal is to get my tree up this weekend. Let's hope DD doesn't redecorate it too much.
How far along are you? 12w5d
How are you feeling? So far , so good. Let's hope the upset stomach stays away.
Rants/Raves? The MFM nurse left a message for me last night. I get to call this morning and learn the babies sex and that everything was good from my Harmony test. YAY!!!
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! I want a stick vacuum, but I don't want it as a Christmas present from DH. Present to myself?!?
@PressLove: Yay! So glad everything went well with the test!
@SGoldberg247: Sorry you are still not feeling better. I REALLY hope things get better by 2nd trimester!!
How far along are you? 11w3d
How are you feeling? Not bad. Seem to be getting some energy back. Mostly feeling hungry all the time.
Rants/Raves? Can't wait until my next appt on the 15th! Too bad DH will be out of town for work and will miss it but I anticipate everything will go just fine! Can't wait to see how baby looks now.
NBR, I'm nervous/excited about the football game tonight. I need my Packers to win!
*****Question*****: Am I the only one who is still hesitant to buy baby stuff and/or maternity clothes? For some reason I'm still not letting myself do any baby-related shopping until my next appt even though everything looked great at my first one a couple weeks ago. Guess I'm still having a hard time believing this is actually really happening! Hoping that feeling will go away by next appt.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! I asked for random things: perfume (almost out), gloves (that allow you to use your smartphone), adult coloring book w/nice coloring pencils, 3DS game (Animal Crossing: HHD), smartphone mini picture printer (Fujfilm), new headphones
Me - 33, DH - 33 Married - May 2014 DH - Low Count/Motility/Morph - Varicocele vein x 2 - surgery (8/11) - success! BFP - 10/10/15, EDD - 6/20/16 - It's a BOY!

@BakerBird525 I was really hesitant to buy anything but since black friday was going on I caved and bought some maternity clothes. I'm going to be nervous I bought them until our appointment Monday but praying everything is fine and I just got a really good deal!
How are you feeling? Pretty normal. I've been coughing a lot from this cold and I feel like I'm now experiencing RLP.
Rants/Raves? My dog just pooped on the floor .. Even after she went outside literally 20 minutes ago. So that was fun. On a good note I got all my work done early this week. Relax time! Actually I'll be cleaning, but it's better than work.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas? I have NO idea. I saw a nice laundry basket set up I liked. All I really want is to be surrounded by family. The military keeps us far away and I'm soo homesick.
How are you feeling? pretty good - I have been sniffly and sneezy throughout this entire pregnancy though and I really don't think its allergies. I woke up at like 4 am with terrible nausea and then it was gone by the time I got out of bed, so yay!
Rants/Raves? I had a dr appointment yesterday. I got to see my little one's feet and little baby toes which was super exciting! I also did the verify (sp?) test so I'm excited to get the results from that back in the next couple of weeks. Rant is that DH is out of town on business and just sent me a cryptic text saying his meeting yesterday could not have gone worse - a little terrified he's going to up and quit his job.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! There's a spa in town that has a spa day for mommy's to be that includes a bunch of awesome treatments and its not that expensive. I have the magazine article I found it in taped to the fridge as a not so subtle hint for DH :-)
How are you feeling? Fine overall. Some RLP when I cough.
Rants/Raves? I don't know WHAT I did, but the joint in one of my toes (which connects my foot and my toe, if that makes sense) hurts so bad I can hardly walk on it. I'm limping around like a wounded animal.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas? This facial scrubber thing because my skin has been dry and flakey since I got pregnant. It's so gross!
@BakerBird525 I hear you... I've gotten a ton of hand-me-down maternity clothes, so I haven't had to buy any. My mom has bought me some maternity shirts and some gender neutral baby clothes. But I personally haven't bought anything. It just doesn't feel real yet!
@BakerBird525 - I haven't bought anything yet and I don't plan on buying anything soon. It just doesn't feel real to me yet. Maybe that will change after the ultrasound today, but I don't plan on buying maternity clothes until I NEED them and I don't plan on buying baby things until much further into this pregnancy.
How far along are you? 12w2d (got moved up a few days since the doctor was finally able to measure my whole baby who cooperated for 5 seconds and stayed still)
How are you feeling? Pretty good, actually. My boobs huuurt and I got a flu shot yesterday so my arm hurts but other than that.
Rants/Raves? Had an appointment yesterday but no one could figure out why I was scheduled. It was kind of annoying because I live 30mins away from the OB office, but the doctor did a quick ultrasound because baby was bouncing around so much he couldn't catch a steady heartbeat and everything looked good so I left happy. I have my NT scan on the 9th and we'll find out the sex Jan 8th. The count down is on!
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas? Honestly, I really just want a nice brown or dark green jacket. I realized yesterday that I have a lot of black, haha.
How are you feeling? I have had strep throat for the last week. Trying to recover from that. Other than that i feel fine!
Rants/Raves? Ive been struggling trying to get my H to help me decide on a few things. I wanted to buy a crib now so we can find a spot in our house for it but he doesnt want to buy anything until right before the baby comes. Its made me soo frustrated because i know that will be hard shelling out all that money at once. Still trying to push him towards buying a crib...not so much luck.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! Besides my ring my H has never gotten me any other jewelry in the 5 years weve been together. This year i decided i wanted some jewelry so im excited to see what he gets me
How are you feeling?A little better - I seem to have slightly more energy to clean, etc. My nausea is definitely improving, but now I am getting really full from very little food. I think I might be experiencing RLP - I have this sharp pain like right in the middle of my butt when I move in certain ways! I definitely don't remember anything like that this early with my other two.
Rants/Raves?My parents toy poodle died a few weeks ago. She was a psycho (not kidding). She attacked us all growing up and we had to tip-toe around the house, it was awful. It wasn't really their fault though, my sister brought her home when we were in high school and left her with my poor parents. Anyway, I guess they had grown attached to her, particularly my dad who cared for her.
Since she died, my mom went out and adopted THREE toy poodles. THREE! My mom watches my children full-time while we work (a blessing and a curse at the same time). She decided to bring the one nice poodle with her this week. First, she puts its pen in my CHILD'S bedroom (one of two carpeted rooms in the WHOLE house). She promises she is potty-trained and the pen is waterproof, but I say get her out! Put her somewhere with wood, even if it's my room. I go home on lunch yesterday and go in my room and it SMELLS LIKE DOG POOP! It dropped a deuce in its blanket in my BEDROOM WHERE I SLEEP. I've been pretty psychotic this pregnancy, so I definitely might have over-reacted, but I am so frustrated about why this poodle needs to be at my house where I already have TWO dogs who don't have any potty issues and make my house smell like crap!
She is insistent it will never happen again and only occurred because she had to run an errand after dropping my son at preschool, so the dog went too long without being taken out. But, how does she know? She has owned the dog for less than a week, how does she know it isn't going to poop in my house once a week or something? Am I being a bitch? I don't know. I had a cat with litter box issues growing up and loved it to death, so I basically dealt with living in its waste for years. I am just hell bent on never going back to a situation where my house smells like animal poop 24-7. Sorry for the novel!
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! Sleep. Cozy things - Uggs, pajamas, sweatshirts. That's all I want.
I didn't know where to put this, but I had my appointment today, and they had a hard time finding the heartbeat. She found it, but it sounded distant (her words). I'm 11 weeks 5 days. I'm assuming the baby is still in my pelvis, and that's probably why she had a hard time hearing the heartbeat. We could hear it, but it was much quieter than hearing my heartbeat. Is that normal? Sorry for asking this since I'm a STM. I don't remember having a hard time finding the heartbeat last time. The heart rate was 158-160, so I'm glad it was a normal rate, but nurse practitioner scared me for a minute.
****Question below!**** (and TW about a dream I had)
How far along are you? 10 weeks 6 days
How are you feeling? Overall pretty good though still dealing with a bit of an upset stomach... also, I've been having muscle pains in my upper thighs, similar to like the ones I get when i'm PMS'ing.. has anyone else had these?
Rants/Raves? I've been having some crazy vivid dreams - and last nights was terrible, I dreamed that I was at some wacky Dr. who my best friend recommended, and they told me that I was having a boy, but I lost the baby... there was a lot more detail that I won't go into but it was a crazy dream and I woke up very unsettled.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! I can't really decide... DH and my family usually buy me clothes, but I don't want maternity clothes bought for me (I am fortunate that my sister has a lot to give me!) so I'm kind of at a loss for what I do want/need.
Today really is the day of appointments! Hope everyone has great news from today.
@BakerBird525 I won't buy any baby stuff or even start to clear out the office which will become the nursery because I'm so paranoid something will be wrong at the next appointment. I likely won't make any actual purchases or clean out the room until 24 weeks at least.
How are you feeling? Threw up my breakfast this morning. Spent the morning crying to my DH about how I don't think I'm a good mother because I can't even keep my food down and have HG. Feeling hopeless that this will ever go away.
Rants/Raves? Work is killing me. I already have no energy and my managers are insisting on proceeding with a project that will fail. Rave would be that I work with my DH so we can talk all day. He helps me through so much.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! I would love to have some time where I just feel like myself again. I keep reading all the posts from people who have no symptoms or receding MS and I pray that I will follow suit soon. I really don't want for anything else.
alylove11- I'm so sorry that you had such a time finding the heartbeat. The good thing was that it was steady. Plus, nurses generally call a doctor to verify bad news. Hopefully, this means that all is well and you LO was set back a little deeper than before.
MsBeachNJ- I've had weird dreams too. They are quite vivid and full color.
@alylove11 my OB had a hard time catching the heart beat yesterday also he said it was because the baby was moving all over the place. We got little glimpses of it but nothing steady. He didn't seem worried and said that what he heard sounded totally normal. So although it would've been nice to have been able to hear it like last time. If the doctor isn't worried, I'd try not to be too worried... which, as always is easier said than done.
@MsBeachNJ I've been having bad dreams every single night. Usually someone is trying to kill me.. Or just something that goes wrong. I haven't had a truly pleasant dream since I got pregnant. They seem so real, too!
How are you feeling? Still queasy all the time and puking is still regular. Tired! zzzzzzzzzz
Rants/Raves? Being pregnant with an active one year old is so tiring. She is stuck in everything and I just want to lay down. (Small problem I know! )
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas? A holiday to a sunny resort... No chance of that though so a good nights sleep and the ability to sleep in would be nice. And if anyone wants to send me a check for $5000 that would be awesome! lol.
How are you feeling? Thankfully most of MS has gone, it was really bad, just a tad nausea here and there. My back is really sore sitting at my desk so much. I'm exhausted but I don't feel like I'm dragging butt like I was and have a little more pep in my step and definitely in a better mood.
Rants/Raves? Rant-I can't stop eating! I'm hungry all the time! Rave-I got to see my baby yesterday and it was wiggling all over and it was such a relief cause I was so scared with my symptoms disappearing that I lost the baby.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! I really want a big maternity pillow! I'm hoping it will help sleep cause all I do is toss and turn.
How are you feeling? Not too bad. Very tired, even though last night my daughter slept through the night for the first time! It's a Christmas miracle. Unfortunately I spent a good chunk of my night lying awake staring at her. Insomnia sucks.
Rants/Raves? I'm too busy for grocery shopping, but I have no food. I'm down to some packets of plain oatmeal and frozen burritos (which there's no way I can stomach right now, gross). Dang it.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! Oh I don't know...I know I'm not getting anything anyway I keep reminding my husband he has to at least stuff my stocking but I know so far he has nothing and doesn't seem to be taking any initiative to go shopping. Grr.
@KTLehan it sounds like I'm reading my own symptoms!! MS mostly gone, back pain... I can't tell you how much relief this brings me! I'm a basketcase of nerves having had 2 mc's in the past. What do you find helps your back? Any idea what's causing it (hormones obviously but I'm wondering if my tilted uterus is a factor). I'm actually off work today cause yesterday I was so sore sitting at my desk. I'm a day ahead of you. Soo happy for you that all looks well.

GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?!
For my family to surprise me and take the new of my pregnancy better than I'm expecting! We will be telling them on Christmas.
I didn't know where to put this, but I had my appointment today, and they had a hard time finding the heartbeat. She found it, but it sounded distant (her words). I'm 11 weeks 5 days.

GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! I can't really decide... DH and my family usually buy me clothes, but I don't want maternity clothes bought for me (I am fortunate that my sister has a lot to give me!) so I'm kind of at a loss for what I do want/need.
@BakerBird525 I won't buy any baby stuff or even start to clear out the office which will become the nursery because I'm so paranoid something will be wrong at the next appointment. I likely won't make any actual purchases or clean out the room until 24 weeks at least.
How are you feeling? Threw up my breakfast this morning. Spent the morning crying to my DH about how I don't think I'm a good mother because I can't even keep my food down and have HG. Feeling hopeless that this will ever go away.
Rants/Raves? Work is killing me. I already have no energy and my managers are insisting on proceeding with a project that will fail. Rave would be that I work with my DH so we can talk all day. He helps me through so much.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! I would love to have some time where I just feel like myself again. I keep reading all the posts from people who have no symptoms or receding MS and I pray that I will follow suit soon. I really don't want for anything else.
How are you feeling? Still queasy all the time and puking is still regular. Tired! zzzzzzzzzz
Rants/Raves? Being pregnant with an active one year old is so tiring. She is stuck in everything and I just want to lay down. (Small problem I know! )
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas? A holiday to a sunny resort... No chance of that though so a good nights sleep and the ability to sleep in would be nice. And if anyone wants to send me a check for $5000 that would be awesome! lol.
How are you feeling? Thankfully most of MS has gone, it was really bad, just a tad nausea here and there. My back is really sore sitting at my desk so much. I'm exhausted but I don't feel like I'm dragging butt like I was and have a little more pep in my step and definitely in a better mood.
Rants/Raves? Rant-I can't stop eating! I'm hungry all the time! Rave-I got to see my baby yesterday and it was wiggling all over and it was such a relief cause I was so scared with my symptoms disappearing that I lost the baby.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! I really want a big maternity pillow! I'm hoping it will help sleep cause all I do is toss and turn.
Hugs to all you ladies not feeling well-- right there with you this afternoon.
How are you feeling? Not too bad. Very tired, even though last night my daughter slept through the night for the first time! It's a Christmas miracle. Unfortunately I spent a good chunk of my night lying awake staring at her. Insomnia sucks.
Rants/Raves? I'm too busy for grocery shopping, but I have no food. I'm down to some packets of plain oatmeal and frozen burritos (which there's no way I can stomach right now, gross). Dang it.
GTKY: What do you want for Christmas?! Oh I don't know...I know I'm not getting anything anyway
