Daily thread?

WinchesterGirl · December 2015

I was lurking in a few of the other BMBs and it looks like they have daily check in threads. Anyone interested?

They look something like this:

How far along are you?

How are you feeling?

Doing anything baby related today(or other GTKY question)(?

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:

Questions?

I'll play!

How far along are you? 4W 4D

How are you feeling?

Mostly the same as always, but I've eaten something for breakfast the past few days (I usually NEVER eat breakfast) and this morning I found that I felt a little lightheaded until I ate something and drank some OJ.

Doing anything baby related today(or other GTKY question)(?

Nope, today I'm actually traveling to Ann Arbor for a meeting for work, and super excited because my little sister is in grad school there, so it's really a free trip to go visit her! I'm not telling her I'm KU though, so I'm hoping she doesn't catch on..

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I opted out of the body scanner at the airport just now, and got an "enhanced pat down" instead. I know that there's no evidence that body scanners are dangerous for a developing fetus, but I figured better safe than sorry - it felt like the first thing I was doing to look out for my LO and that was pretty cool :-)

How far along are you? 4W 3D

How are you feeling? Pretty good this morning, which I'm very grateful for, as yesterday was rough.

Doing anything baby related today? Nope, just stressing about my confirmation appt. tomorrow. I have an irrational fear that they'll tell me something is wrong or that I'm not really pregnant, which I know is crazy.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: DH is getting more talkative about the pregnancy. He has called me "Prego" twice, and yesterday I said, "I just don't know why I feel so yucky today!" And he just said, "Because you are growing a human!"

Questions? Anyone else just generally anxious waiting for the first ultrasound? I think I'll feel better when I see that little heartbeat.

Pupatella · December 2015

I love this idea!!!!

How far along are you? 4w2d

How are you feeling? Exhausted

Doing anything baby related today(or other GTKY question)? I'm going to tell my Mom tonight!! She'll be the only one to know (other than DH and I) until we have the U/S in a couple of weeks.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I wish I could stay in bed all day.

Questions? Actually, I'm curious what you ladies are doing about caffeine intake. My OB said having up to 200mg of caffeine daily is okay, but don't have more than that. I started to cut down on caffeine a few months ago, and currently have it to around 100mg a day. It is just so tough to wake up and get going without some caffeine since I am sooooo tired!! What are you ladies doing regarding the caffeine?

Hummingbird125 · December 2015

@Pupatella - I usually have two regular-sized cups a day, but since getting my BFP I've been sticking to one. I used lots of creamer and sugar though, so cutting down to one cup also helps me limit my sugar intake, which I need to do anyway (pregnant or not)! On the weekends I'm sure I'll probably have 2 cups.

mrsgillham14 · December 2015

How far along are you?
4 weeks

How are you feeling?
Normal

Doing anything baby related today?
Nope

Rant/Rave:
My prenatals gave me hiccups this morning. That was interesting.

Questions?
What is your water intake goal? I drank 80oz yesterday and I felt like I was going to explode

PeggyOlsonFTW · December 2015

How far along are you? 5+5

How are you feeling? Ok. Sore boobs, some queasiness (dumping toddler poop from the little potty to the big potty had me gagging this morning).

Doing anything baby related today? Nope! Went to the gym this morning, shopped for forgiving holiday clothes after that, heading out with girlfriends tonight

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Trying to take it one day at a time. I keep repeating, "I'm pregnant today and I love my baby. There is nothing I can do to prevent a mc, so just enjoy whatever time you have with this LO"

Questions?

PeggyOlsonFTW · December 2015

@pupatella I dropped it completely. I usually only drank one cup in the morning anyway. I know that it's completely illogical, but in my mind, no coffee and moderate exercise = healthy pregnancy with DS, coffee and higher intensity exercise = mmc.

Elm1214 · December 2015

How far along are you? 4w4d

How are you feeling? Pretty good. Exhausted and some random small waves of nausea.

Doing anything baby related today(or other GTKY question)(? I had my first OB appt this morning! I'm at a higher risk for an ectopic pregnancy because I had surgery on my fallopian tube in September. The appointment was anti-climatic, but I have my 1st ultrasound scheduled on 12/16.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: just hoping the next 2 weeks go by quickly.

Questions?

strickland8052 · December 2015

@WinchesterGirl - I'm with you on the first ultrasound! I'm scared to let myself get too excited until I see that little heart beat!

How far along are you? 4W 7D - I don't understand why this isn't just 5 W, but that is the way my app put it.

How are you feeling? Yuck. Some nausea set in at 4 am, but I'm feeling a little better now. All food disgusts me, so I'm having to force myself to eat.

Doing anything baby related today? I tried to do some prenatal yoga designed to help with morning sickness. They referred to the baby a lot, and that made me smile.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: DH was sweet this morning. He called me a "strong mama" when I left for work while not feeling well.

JenniferMasters · December 2015

I love this idea too

a great way to start my day.

How far along are you?

Beginning week 6 tomorrow

How are you feeling?
Very, very hungry lol some pubic bone pain like muscle aches

Doing anything baby related today?
Working and taking it easy

Rant/rave:
I'm just really anxious and nervous waiting for the ultrasound in 2 weeks. IHopefully the follow up beta hcg in 2 weeks will reassure me

I've stopped drinking caffeine completely but miss it

ReadyForaB · December 2015

How far along are you? 4weeks and 2days

How are you feeling? Really good today actually.

Doing anything baby related today(or other GTKY question)(? Nope. Just working and then couch time with DH

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:

Rant- still so upset I won't have an ultrasound until mid January

Rave- like pp, I have stopped drinking coffe. I used to drink, no joke, like 6 cups a day. So for me, I'm amazed. And honestly it wasn't even that hard. I'm not missing it much at all.

How are you feeling?
pretty darn good, just want a nap

Doing anything baby related today(or other GTKY question)(?
Not really; just the standard bump and Pinterest creeping!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
DH had to work a 16 hour day due to the weather here, which resulted in me getting zero work done yesterday. As a result I have to burn a vacay day for yesterday, or work longer days today, tomorrow, and Thursday.
Questions?

Why does everyone keep telling me that I won't have to buy maternity clothes until later in my pregnancy? I'm not an idiot- Ialready know this...I didn't buy things until almost 28-29 weeks with my first.

WinchesterGirl · December 2015

@Pupatella I'm not a coffee drinker, but I'm addicted to sweet tea and have almost completely cut it out, but I did the math and even if I cave one day and have a huge glass still under half the 200 mg/day limit.

@mrsgillham14 I don't have a set water goal, just aiming for drinking as much water as possible.

@jwittwer I am not sure, but one of my SILs started wearing maternity clothes super early in her pregnancy, and by the last two months nothing fit and she had to go buy another set of clothes. That was a mighty expensive two-month wardrobe.

jwittwer · December 2015

@WinchesterGirl with my first pregnancy I was pretty stubborn- almost in denial if you will, about needing to purchase maternity clothes, haha. I did eventually break down and buy a few pairs of dress slacks and some shirts. Thankfully I know what I'm in for this time around and definitely will not be needing two sets of maternity wear

tresamigos · December 2015

I like this idea!

How far along are you? 4w4d

How are you feeling? In the evenings I've been having some dull cramping. I've also noticed I'm getting tired a lot quicker during my evening runs, but I'm not 100% sure if that's pregnancy related or if it's because I'm still getting over a cold.

Doing anything baby related today? Nothing other than checking The Bump and the occasional pin on Pinterest.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Missing my Spark in the mornings and my pre-workout drink in the evenings!

ioliodio · December 2015

How far along are you? 4 weeks, 5 days

How are you feeling? Pretty good. I'm counting down the days to week 6 though. Morning sickness is no joke.

Doing anything baby related today(or other GTKY question)? Nope.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Going to make lobster fettucine for myself and chicken fettucine for my husband for dinner. Kid will eat whichever one he wants. With a side of steamed brown sugar carrots.

Questions? None.

How are you feeling?
Fine, tired.
Doing anything baby related today(or other GTKY question)(?
Bumping.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Excited for my work trip starting tomorrow. Hope it all goes smoothly. Flying with a coworker. If she asks for the pat down I will too but I don't want to out myself this early otherwise.

mommylove2013 · December 2015

This sounds fun!

I'm 5w2d.

Aside from being tired and hungry often, I feel good.

I woke up after 3am and can't go back to sleep so I'm reading things about the first trimester.

My first prenatal appt can't get here fast enough. I'm looking forward to hearing the baby's heartbeat for the first time.
