Re: TUESDAY CHECK-IN
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Constipated as fack. Probably from all the cheese I continue to eat. And still tired. Also, pretty sure my lack of appetite has come to an end. I am starving. All. The. Time. Something a bit more interesting...I had a second phone call with an HR rep for a potential job last night. FX and good vibes that they hire me! Or at least line me up to start beginning of 2016.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Makin' dat monaayyy. And doing house projects every month.
Questions? Am I the only one that won't be getting an NT scan? Pretty sure it's too late to do it now, and my doctor didn't really mention it at all.
GTKY: I'm feeling a tiny bit sappy today. Share something cute your SO has done recently.
DH isn't the most romantic guy on the planet, especially when it comes to verbally sharing his feelings. He's more so the type to show he cares by changing my oil, making sure my car is safe to drive, making sure I have what I need, and little things like that. Well...every now and then he'll randomly send me a song he hears on the radio that reminds him of me. He's done this ever since we started dating. One of those random days happened to be this morning. The song was so dang cute I couldn't help but cry like a little bitch.
*Edited because words are hard this morning.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Whoever said pregnancy is a wonderful joyous time is full of crap. MS seems to be done, but RLP is definitely coming on and I've spent the past 24 hours with an uncomfortable pressure in my pelvis. Whether it's gas or uterus I have no idea but there's definitely a small protrusion just above my pelvis, not big enough for anyone but me and DH to be able to tell but its definitely there.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? : nothing new
Questions? : nope
GTKY: I'm feeling a tiny bit sappy today. Share something cute your SO has done recently: hmm. I have no issues with our dog sleeping in our bed and I love snuggling with DH and the dog when we're winding down at night. Now, as long as the light is on in the room, he lets the dog up to snuggle even though he isn't a fan of letting him on the bed at all. Not much but it makes me happy.
As for your question, I'm getting an NT scan because it paired with the tetrascreen has a very high rate of detecting neural tube defects which I have a family history of. If it wasn't for that my doctor said they wouldn't be doing it since I'm young and healthy. As excited as I am to see the baby, I'm terrified they're going to find something awful with the screens.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Tired. Probably going to jinx myself, but MS seems to have wound down over the last 2 days?
What are you doing to get ready for baby?
Nothing new, except saving $$, knocking out house projects, and saving more $$. Although it seems those things are mutually exclusive....
Questions? Nope.
GTKY: I'm feeling a tiny bit sappy today. Share something cute your SO has done recently.
The other night I was feeling nauseous after I got in bed, and DH jumped up to grab me some dry cereal even though I know he was utterly exhausted.
ETA: @mrsschmity: Congrats on the call back! I hope this job works out for you!
@Sgoldberg247: Sorry about the RLP and pressure. I felt what I think was my first into to RLP this week--ouch!
Also, I know it's SO much easier to say than do, but try not to worry too much about your screening. I'm sure you've been taking all the folic acid you need to prevent a defect, and even with your family history, I think the risk is still small (?). Hang in there, lady!
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Mentally, I'm not there yet.

Rants/Raves/Symptoms:
MS continues....it was gone by 14w with my last two PGs, so I'm kinda ready for it to just leave ALREADY! I know I'm only a week past that, but gahhhh
What are you doing to get ready for baby?
Just saving moolah
Questions?

Not mecessarily cute, but he's been amazeballs during this pregnancy. He's picked up all my slack and has been so understanding and fabulous while I've slept and puked and slept some more. And the poor guy didn't complain when we couldn't DTD for like 8 weeks because I felt so awful. He's pretty great

Rants/Raves/Symptoms:
My back hurts, I'm super crampy, & I'm exhausted. Put it all together & I'm pretty cranky today. On the plus side, after today I only have to work on Thursday.

He's been great all around. He cleaned the whole house on the weekend when I was feeling crappy, & cooked dinner & made muffins last night (& did the clean up after). During the day he always sends texts to check in on me or just to tell me he loves me. He does a lot of sweet things for me. ❤️

Oh yeah, they have me on 4 g of folic acid a day (600mg-1g is the standard recommendation depending on who you ask) so I've got all the folic acid I need and more. The risk is low and its possible that my grandmother just didn't eat enough folic acid when she was pregnant which is why she had a kid with spina bifida but its still something to worry about until its ruled out around 16 weeks.
Ouch is the best description of RLP, man that pinch is not fun.
Pinch is exactly right. Yay pregnancy! Haha
How far along are you: 11+4
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I'm feeling very whiny today. I tried 6 pairs of pants this morning until I was just done an used a rubber band. Since, this is my 5th pregnancy and my ute is measuring ahead of the pregnancy the doc says I've popped very early. I am just not ready to go full blown maternity. I refuse to do it before 2nd trimester.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Getting the house ready for my SO to move in. He pays a ridiculous amount for rent and has an absurd car payment, so he is getting rid of that sports car and moving in with us. YAY!
Questions? Nope!

Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Just a rant (again...sorry). Our dog went in for surgery today and I cried as little as I could. I just hope everything goes well. Oh and I have my annual review today and am hoping to tell my boss I'm pregnant. Not much more I could fit into one day.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Really hoping to clean out the guest (soon to be baby) room this weekend.
Questions? None now.
GTKY: I'm feeling a tiny bit sappy today. Share something cute your SO has done recently. He's been great with me being emotional to begin with but with our dog needing surgery he's really upped his patience level and love.
How far along are you: 11w5d
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Nauseous, tired, and the headaches have started... ugh. Talked to my sister last night about her pregnancy symptoms (in case they were genetic? Are they?). She should have lied to me. She was nauseous until about 19 weeks with (her words) "way less fun digestive issues until week 23". She had nothing good to say about being pregnant except for the end result. Hooray for the next 28 weeks. On the plus side, she reassured me that I can, in fact, deliver a healthy baby even if I spend the next 3 months eating Egg McMuffins and Chipotle burritos since she lived on Cinnamon Toast Crunch for 7 months. Good to know...
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Talking to work about maternity leave options. Which SUCK! It'll be paid, but only because I've been here long enough to accrue 60 days of sick time (hooray for non-pregnant kick-ass immune systems). If we have another baby within the next 5 years, I won't have that time and it would be un-paid. Long story short - I'm moving to Canada.
Questions? This is long enough already. And I can't think of any today.
GTKY: I'm feeling a tiny bit sappy today. Share something cute your SO has done recently. He's been a champ with the food aversions/cravings. He's willing to eat anything that I'm craving for meals and he's been feeding the dogs since their food smells terrible to me. He also brought me thin mints when I was craving them at 11pm and he only laughed at me a little bit.
GTKY: I'm feeling a tiny bit sappy today. Share something cute your SO has done recently.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Exhausted. The insomnia is back. My boobs hurt constantly and although I'm not showing yet, I definitely can't suck in my blump at all anymore. Haven't puked in a few days though!
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Dragging my ass out of bed and going to work, today.
Questions? Nope.
GTKY: Share something cute your SO has done recently. Specifically I can't think of anything right off hand. He's been really great with this pregnancy, though. I can't cook meat to save my life right now (I can eat it, just can't deal with the smell when it's cooking) and he comes home after he's worked all day and I've been off on the weekends and cooks without complaining. He's a good dude. I like him. He also kisses my belly when he leaves for work, even though there's not much there yet and I think it's just the sweetest thing.
@mkemommy: FX all goes well with your dog's surgery today!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: oh my word the gas, sore boobs, still a little ms (hurry up 2nd tri!), but coming out of the fog
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Ordered a new crib and changing table since we'll have 2u2 for like 3 weeks
Questions?
GTKY: I'm feeling a tiny bit sappy today. Share something cute your SO has done recently.
Hubby has been so incredibly helpful since I've been so sick and really taking good care of DD
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Feeling pretty good! Just staying tired all the time though.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Saving money, cleaning out the nursery to be, preparing DS for baby
Questions? nope!
GTKY: I'm feeling a tiny bit sappy today. Share something cute your SO has done recently.: DH has been helping me with the laundry and dishes lately. Usually by the time I get home from work I am exhausted so he will help me with what needs done around the house.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Got a chiro adjustment for my jacked-up neck yesterday and it definitely made a difference. Yay! I actually had a decent night's sleep last night! In other news, I continue to worry about the fact that I'm gaining weight at what seems to be an alarming rate. Couldn't have anything to do with my horrible eating habits, could it? Surely not.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? I started looking at co-sleepers. Arm's Reach, I think is the brand I've heard most about. Anyone ever use one?
GTKY: Share something cute your SO has done recently. This morning he was up earlier than I was and when I stumbled into the kitchen and was standing at the coffee pot pouring myself a cup, he came up behind me and gave me the sweetest, longest hug with his hands over my belly.
How far along are you?

Rants/Raves/Symptoms?
Woke up feeling kind of nauseas. A brownie and a fruit cup helped that.
RAVE: I FINALLY HAVE MY FIRST SERIOUS BABY DOCTOR APPOINTMENT TODAY. I feel like I have been waiting so long for this day haha. 1:30 can't come soon enough!! Wish me luck, everyone!
What are you doing to get ready for baby?
I started looking at stuff to put on a registry .. Just neutral colored strollers and things similar to that.
GTKY: Share something cute your SO has done recently.
I haven't had much of an appetite at all, and I especially cannot eat meat. My husband has been doing really well with that sudden change and has been making me really plain dinners more often. He also keeps talking about how he can't wait to walk around and wear the baby ... Ugh it's so cute.
@KBallew10 I don't think symptoms are genetic. Hope you get a break from MS soon!
@HighFive16 your poop comment made me snort coffee!
How far along are you: 12w3d
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: DD woke up at 6am and puked in her bed. So that was magical. She's not sick, acts totally normal, normal appetite. We all had the same dinner... No idea why it happened! I (guiltily?) wish DH had been here to field it...
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Nothing in particular today. Making sure to eat some vegetables with all my carbs.
GTKY: I'm feeling a tiny bit sappy today. Share something cute your SO has done recently.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I am super stressed about my midwife appointment today. I'm only going in because when I was there 2 weeks ago she couldn't find the heartbeat. She wasn't concerned but it's hard not to stress. Feeling like I've got Schrödinger's fetus in there right now and I don't want to open the box.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Trying to get my apartment cleaned up, decluttered and organized. It's a nightmare.
Questions? Not today
GTKY: I'm feeling a tiny bit sappy today. Share something cute your SO has done recently. I really can't think of anything. This is probably more a commentary on my sluggish over-tired baby brain than my husband, though.
@mrsschmity- WOO HOO! Great news on the job prospect! Positive thoughts your way. I had the noninvasive blood work for chromosomal abnormalities. It's covered on my insurance since I'm an old lady (36). I don't think I would opt to have further testing done if anything is abnormal- it won't change anything for me. I am excited to find out the gender!
@maddvollmer- Good luck at your appointment! Keep us posted- so exciting.
How far along are you: 13 weeks today!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I had spotting first thing in the morning yesterday which sent me in a tailspin - none since then- YAYYY! It did trigger some anxiety and had me in a funk but I'm feeling better today but still tending to over analyze every little thing. My symptoms have been next to nonexistent for the last week or so. I'm tired and my lady humps are full but other than that I'm golden! I feel so blessed with this pregnancy (even when I had MS)!
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Laying on the couch a lot and watching Lifetime Christmas movies! Still waiting for those test results before I make an announcement. Then it's time to start Pinterest pinning and getting things moving along. I don't see myself doing much until closer to February/March.
Questions? I used my Doppler today and noticed the heart beat sounded different- more like a gallop (echo-ey) than before (it just sounded like fast heartbeat). I also noticed it will fade in and out more- just baby moving I'm hoping ?!?
GTKY: I'm feeling a tiny bit sappy today. Share something cute your SO has done recently. I lost my job two weeks before I found out I was pregnant- we have had several losses before so hubs told me to not even look for a job until year and get something with little to no stress until after LO is born and its time to go back to work. We were talking about Christmas gifts last night and how we don't want to do gifts this year because of the extra spending we will have- he just looked at me with this cute look and said "I gave you a gift that will last a lifetime" and poked my stomach. I don't know why but I thought it was adorable.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Am I the only one not doing anything yet? Until 12 weeks I was so incredibly anxious about seeing the baby and finding out that everything was okay I could barely think about anything else. Now I'm more focused on pants that fit than where this baby is fitting in my NYC apartment. I'm very much taking things as they come.
GTKY: I'm feeling a tiny bit sappy today. Share something cute your SO has done recently. He's just an angel this entire pregnancy so far. He nicknamed our baby Poppy when we found out we were pregnant since it was the size of a poppy seed and he talks about it like I have a little friend while he is traveling for work. 'What did you and Poppy have for dinner?'
The potential companies I'm looking at have no idea that I'm pregnant, and I have no intention of telling them until after I've been offered a position, so I don't know how they feel about me taking leave in June lol But like I said, I don't really have any other option. I can't afford to be unemplyed for the next 5-6 months until after baby comes.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms. Rants still waiting on followup NT ultrasound after my bad experience last week. Very nervous. Also feeling completely gross and nausea, dry heaving etc the last 2 days. Ugh.
What are you doing to get ready? At the moment nothing lol.
GTKY likes to kiss my nonexistent belly lol.
Rants/raves/symptoms: Just feeling tired all the time and some occasional nausea if I wait too long to eat.
What are you doing to get ready? Nothing yet lol
GTKY: He went to Burgerville 30 min before they closed to get me a milkshake one night when I randomly said I wanted one. He never did that when I was pregnant before so it was sweet
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I have had three full-blown nosebleeds today.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Hmmm. Eating a lot of bacon? Pretty sure he's gonna come out squealing. Seriously though--planning his room decor. That's about it for the moment.
Questions? Anyone else having heinous nosebleeds??
GTKY: DH has been a saint and tackled a long to-do list this weekend, including raking leaves, finishing painting DS's room (the older one, not the baby), hanging Christmas lights, etc. I definitely appreciated it.
BFP #1 June 2011 m/c@6wks
BFP #2 December 2011, EDD 8/21/12, born 7/21/12 at 35w4d
BFP #3 October 6, 2015. WHAT???
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: On Sunday I had some bleeding scares so I saw my doctor yesterday. It was so awesome to see that our baby was still safe and moving around like a champ. I did find out the I have Placenta Previa so I am on pelvic rest until it (hopefully) moves up. I know there are so many worse things but I am super bummed. I was very active before I got pregnant, the MS knocked me on my butt and I was just feeling better and now I still really can't do anything.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Thinking about names
Questions? not today
GTKY: I'm feeling a tiny bit sappy today. Share something cute your SO has done recently. He has done everything and is so helpful and excited. Recently he took my car in and got the tags updated, I was SOOOO grateful.
