Rants/Raves: Rant: I am so sore EVERYWHERE and am having a really hard time getting comfortable. Rave: Baby boy is moving like crazy. He apparently loves jazz music because he was dancing and kicking away when I was watching the Sinatra special last night.
Upcoming appointments: Dec 23rd for the anatomy scan! Feels like forever! This appointment will be 5 weeks after our last one. Ugh!
Questions for the Group: Has anyone's relationship changed with their SO since becoming pregnant? My H has been so amazing and has been 10x more affectionate than he has ever been!
GTKY: I love Paris and H has never been so I would definitely take him there. I would stay for 3 weeks in the biggest suite that a hotel with an amazing view of the tower had. We would spend the days at cafés and wandering around museums and the nights at posh restaurants. Sigh...why can't I be loaded?
Week/Fruit: 17 weeks (this number feels unreal...going way too fast!)
Rants/Raves: A few new symptoms popped up this week...heartburn & sciatica pain. Luckily, they are mostly in the evening for now. Other than that I'm feeling normal.
Upcoming appointments: A/s in exactly 2 weeks! But we aren't finding out the sex until Christmas morning (18 days!!!!!!)
GTKY: If you could take your dream vacation where money was no object, where would you go and what would you do? Anywhere on the beach. Probably an all-inclusive, not crowded cruise.
Rants/Raves: Feel like I have been hit by a bus. I have a cold and am acting like a total dude with a man-cold right now. Pout.
Upcoming appointments: I have to reschedule all my appointments because I can't take anymore time off work. Do you all just have weekend appointments or really cool bosses because this whole working thing is totally cramping my style?!
Questions for the Group: None, except can someone bring me some tea and chicken soup? Wahh!
GTKY: If you could take your dream vacation where money was no object, where would you go and what would you do? I would take a Mediterranean cruise. I love cruises (ok, I have only been on one, but I love the idea of cruises) and I have always wanted to see Greece and Italy. It would just be lovely.
Rants/Raves: hello reflux, old friend...welcome back! Oh and there's a bump this time! Taken 3 pregnancies to get it, but it's there! Yay!
Upcoming appointments: Dec 21 for anatomy scan.
Questions: Nothing I can think of.
GTKY: I want to go to Ireland so bad! We'd stay at least a month and do everything there is to do. Of course, I'd need a new hubby Cuz mine wouldn't get on the plane to get there I love him though so I'll keep him lol
@sarawifenow my husband has been awesome again this time! I think he's also grateful he hasn't had to hold my hair for the ms so far. He gets up at night with the boys so my gagging butt can stay laying down and I love him for it he's just awesome
Rants/Raves: Today officially started my week 15, and week 15 greeted me with a nose bleed for my morning wake up call. Oh joy!!! And I still don't have the slightest bump yet.... I just hope my baby is growing okay in there. Also still horrible acid reflux/ heartburn in the evenings... making dinner not at all enjoyable. But hey at least I get to eat and enjoy food during breakfast and lunch.
Upcoming appointments: December 17
Questions for the Group: None right now
GTKY: If you could take your dream vacation where money was no object, where would you go and what would you do?
I would love to just back pack parts of Europe. I have always especially wanted to visit Italy, France, and Spain (I've heard all have great wine, and I love some good wine). Also wouldn't mind seeing the country side of like Scottland, Ireland, and Britain.
Rants/Raves: Rant - I am still so darn tired all the time. I thought second tri would bring all this energy. Rave - maternity jeans...I will never go back.
Upcoming appointments: Centering appointment next Monday...can't wait to hear that little heartbeat.
Questions for the Group: None today.
GTKY: If you could take your dream vacation where money was no object, where would you go and what would you do?
Tahiti...I would like to say I would explore and do cultural things, but I'd really want to lay on the beach and sip pretty drinks (after the baby is born, of course).
@sarawifenow - This is my second, but for both my pregnancies my H has been great! More patient than usual, and he picks up a lot of my slack.
@laurenmdrn16 - Cold and pregnancy are a horrible combination. I hope you feel better soon.
Week/Fruit: 19/mango (tomorrow)
Rants/Raves: Still taking diclegis after my attempt to come off it was a miserable, pukey failure last week. Boo.
Upcoming appointments: Anatomy scan tomorrow! I'm so nervous.
Questions for the Group: Nope.
GTKY: If you could take your dream vacation where money was no object, where would you go and what would you do? OMG, how do I narrow it down. I think my current list-topper is Tanzania to climb Kilimanjaro and then safari. I am determined to do this before I turn 40.
Rants/Raves: I am SO Sick!!! I'm fighting bronchitis and I leave for Hawaii on Thursday morning. I'm doing everything in my power to get better, but sometimes I get on these coughing fits and can't stop. In fact, the coughing is so violent that ***TMI/embarrassment alert*** that sometimes I pee my pants. Seriously. FML.
Upcoming appointments: Dec. 22 for anatomy scan.
Questions for the Group:
GTKY: If you could take your dream vacation where money was no object, where would you go and what would you do? Somewhere to the beach. I love going to big cities, but I often leave exhausted. Beach vacations are so relaxing! In fact, I'm leaving for my delayed honeymoon-turned-babymoon in Maui on Thursday! I can't wait for some solid beach and water time. Just too bad I can't drink a proper Mai Tai!
@sarawifenow I feel the same way! DH is SUPER affectionate and sweet and loving.
Rants/Raves: ughh - I am so emotional right now. Every faith in humanity, dog post, thank you card, I'm weeping. I cried at work for 30 minutes today with my door shut over petty stuff. I cannot stand these hormones.
Upcoming appointments: Dec 21st for Anatomy Scan!
Questions for the Group: Is anyone's husbands having selfish "I better buy this for me now because after the baby comes, I won't get anything?" thoughts? My husband is wonderful, but holy cow, he is wanting to get everything he has wanted all of a sudden.
GTKY: If you could take your dream vacation where money was no object, where would you go and what would you do? This seems like a lazy answer because its everywhere, but a few years ago I read an article about a couple who traveled the globe in one year, hitting up over 30 countries - that would be my dream.
Rants/Raves: I've never had heartburn in my life, but it seems that I'm getting it every time I eat anything. I'm drinking a lot of water and taking Pepcid, which helps some, but it's driving me crazy. And the headaches are terrible all of a sudden!
Upcoming appointments: Just had an appointment last week, so none until the US/anatomy scan the first week of January. We found out the sex already (boy) through the Harmony test, but it will be nice to get some more pics of the LO for the scrapbook (that I will eventually start...maybe).
Questions for the Group: I was going to ask for recipes for my office potluck next week, but we already have a thread started for that with some really great suggestions! Yay!
GTKY: If you could take your dream vacation where money was no object, where would you go and what would you do?I would take about a year or two and do a circumnavigation on my boat, stopping at various ports along the way.
ETA:@sarawifenow Yes, MH has been extra affectionate and more thoughtful than usual lately, too. It's kind of strange, but I hope it doesn't wear off after the LO gets here!
Week/Fruit: I'm going to be 18 weeks and a Sweet Potato
Rants/Raves: I've started Braxton Hicks which is FAB and has already sent me to the ER! So that's fun but at least they're not pulling the trigger on bed rest yet like they did with DD when BH started.
Upcoming appointments: December 23rd. Although when we went to the ER they did an US and we got to see LO. All organs are accounted for and where they should be. I got to see fingers and toes and little feet which was amazing. So although the ER visit wasn't fun it did have some good points. The nurse came in with an armful of pain killers to hook me up to an IV and I declined. But what I wouldn't give to be hooked up to some of that stuff to get some good sleep!
GTKY: If you could take your dream vacation where money was no object, where would you go and what would you do? Umm right now vs when I'm not pg would be completely different. Definitely the beach. Anywhere where there is a beach, good food, and great antique shopping. If New Orleans had a beach I would live there.
Been married since 2009. Unicornuate Uterus (yes I menstruate glitter) Several MCs DD born 2013 (our miracle "you can't have babies" baby!)
Rants/Raves: my stomach is just so not ok. I feel like everything I eat gives me gas, heart burn, etc and I spend a lot of time uncomfortable because of it. / this week has flown by since we were out of town.
Upcoming appointments: Wednesday for our monthly check up. December 14 for our A/S.
Questions for the Group: any one else just a GI nightmare at the moment?
GTKY: If you could take your dream vacation where money was no object, where would you go and what would you do?
Bahamas, Jamaica, anywhere tropical, all inclusive and I can get a massage, Etc.
