DD1: June '16 DD2: March ‘19 :::: Married since 2011 :::: USN Wife ::::
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Yay sleep. I love weekends. Symptoms wise, RLP, mild nausea from time to time but not bad.
GTKY: How many kids do you have/are planning to have? This'll be our first, we're thinking 4 if finances allow for it but we'll reevaluate after each kid to see if we can still handle that many so it may go down.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Sickness is gone, hooray! But having so many food aversions I might as well be sick. I want to eat cereal and donuts all day Also the other day I cried because my husband looked at me wrong. No exaggeration.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? (Feel free to skip this question if you don't have anything): Starting some stroller research
Questions? I still have regular, steady aches in my uterus. For at least an hour every day. Anyone else experience this? Not painful, just achy.
GTKY: How many kids do you have/are planning to have? Planning for 2, this is number 1!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Feeling ok. I still have to keep food in my stomach at all times or I start dry heaving. I did start a sore throat and runny nose last night and so did DS. I'm not looking forward to a house full of sick people again.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? (Feel free to skip this question if you don't have anything) Questions? GTKY: How many kids do you have/are planning to have? This will be our third and last. We were on the fence even for 3 but surprise. I'm happy because I was leaning more towards yes so it all worked out.
Rant: ugh, had crepes with my aunt that I thought would sit well and they totally didn't. Now I'm needing to just lie in bed for a bit and feel guilty while other people hang out with my dear daughter. Rave: I appreciate that I can lie in bed. So glad we decided not to have a lot of guests for tonight's dinner (just FIL and BIL). Symptoms: just pure nausea
GTKY: This will be our second and we will stop at 2 of our own- I badly want 2 but am fine with not being preggo again after that. We would like to adopt in a few years if we can.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Massive MS yesterday and threw up a bunch. Took Unisom at 1pm and napped for awhile. Thank goodness it went away. I was hoping it would be gone for good by this point (it was with my other two), but guess not!
GTKY: How many kids do you have/are planning to have? We have two on earth, one in heaven and this surprise one! We're done after this! I'm old
@bedinabelinda I'm still having cramping too and I hate it, it makes me uneasy.
How far along are you: 12 weeks today!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Still feeling really great so I'm happy for that! I slept so long last night and it was glorious!!
What are you doing to get ready for baby? I opened a registry today so we can start adding things to it. I keep having to research items over and over because I forget to write them down so I figured this would be easier!
Questions? What infant car seat have you guys used/will you use?
GTKY: How many kids do you have/are planning to have? This is our first and we've agreed on 3 at this point. DH wanted 2 and I wanted 4 but we will see after 3 what we think
How far along are you? 13 weeks 1 day Rants/raves/symptoms: Feeling good! Last night I didn't have any cramps for the first time in weeks! What are you doing to get ready for baby: nothing :S poor baby! I bought a new maternity outfit last week does that count? GTKY: This is our 4th and will be our last.
Question reply: yep I am still cramping daily as well. I haven't popped yet so I am assuming it's just my little plum stretching it's way up!
How far along: 12 and 3 Symptoms: still pretty pukey, gaggy and sapped for energy. Constipation still going strong too. Oh man the nightmares!
GTKY: between finances and me also wanting to get back to my career ;I am a SAHM since DD arrived, we will be 2 and through. It's mixed feelings knowing this is my last pregnancy.
How far along are you: 13w2d (wow, time has been flying!)
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Sometimes I get headaches right when I stand up. I've been trying to drink more water, not sure it's related. Rave is that me and DH decided to order pizza for dinner and I'm pretty stoked about it !! I've been trying really hard to eat healthy so I'm excited to have something not as healthy
What are you doing to get ready for baby? (Feel free to skip this question if you don't have anything) I ordered The Happiest Baby on the Block and Expecting Better and I've started to read the latter.
Questions?
GTKY: How many kids do you have/are planning to have? We've always said 2 to 3. I think its hard for us to say since we haven't had one yet. We are leaning more towards 2 now due to finances and desire to travel and be an active family. Twins the second time around would also work
Married July 2014 DD born June 2016 Second due August 2020 (team green!)
@HighFive16 Good to hear! I don't have a ton of experience with newborns so it will definitely be much needed advice! I'm glad I found a book with such good reviews.
Married July 2014 DD born June 2016 Second due August 2020 (team green!)
Feeling better today, but I felt pretty good last weekend and then during the week still had MS. Can't wait to tell a bunch of my friends next week at my friend's Christmas party. A lot of them already have children and I know they'll be really happy for us.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? (Feel free to skip this question if you don't have anything) We have to clean out the room that will be the nursery, but that's about it right now. Let's get through the holidays and then we'll get some things for the baby.
Questions?
I asked this in the other thread, but when does second trimester start? I've seen conflicting answers.
GTKY: How many kids do you have/are planning to have?
How far along are you: 11+3 Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Nausea abated enough today that I was able to go Christmas shopping out of town! I hugged the toilet all day yesterday.
I've got a sore throat & the worst headache I've had in weeks...I'm struggling today.
But, I still managed to get nearly all of my Christmas shopping finished. Only a few items left for DH's stocking, & one gift card to be picked up.
What are you doing to get ready for baby?
We went to Babies R Us last night to look around & ended up leaving with the travel system I've been eyeing for a long time. It was on sale & I couldn't resist the savings! I'm like a kid on Christmas morning..I just want to open it & put it all together now.
GTKY: How many kids do you have/are planning to have?
Rants I feel like a total broken record here. Morning sickness has turned into all day and night sickness. Puking returned with a vengeance today. Getting worse instead of better.
@huskypuppy14 it depends who you ask! The bump itself and some of the pregnancy book says after 12 weeks but because 40 weeks \ 3 trimesters is 13.33 others list it as beginning at the 14th Week.
Getting over a sinus infection right now after caving and getting approval and script for antibiotics. Wish I didn't have to, but there was no way I was going to fend this one off with home remedies. I suffer from chronic sinusitis and usually know when I'm beat. Both docs assured me it was safe to take. The fatigue has been doubly tough this week because of it. Hoping to be feeling a little more energetic soon. What are you doing to get ready for baby?
We made 2 major purchases in the past 2 days! DH got the Kendall PBK crib from his boss (used for 5 days for his grandchild) for a steal, $125! Its in perfect condition and currently selling for $399 on the PBK site. AND, we bought a Subaru Outback today!!!! Traded in my old car since it was way too small for a carseat. Its so pretty! Got a model with Eyesight and other safety features. Feeling like I'll be more safe driving around this winter and ready for LO. GTKY: How many kids do you have/are planning to have? This will be our first. If all goes well and as planned, we're thinking we want 2. We love our house and it has 2 bedrooms in addition to the master. Seems like a good fit for us
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: My brother's wedding was a blast despite having to remain sober. I missed drinking more than I'd like to admit. (TMI?) I've noticed my nipples have started to darken. I knew it could happen but it's a little bizarre to see haha.
Questions? Nope.
GTKY: How many kids do you have/are planning to have? This is our first. We both grew up in huge families, but we're both leaning toward this possibly being our only. I've always wanted to adopt, so maybe two. We'll see.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: My morning sickness is getting worse. In the past two weeks Ive gone from just nausea to actually throwing up multiple times a day. This is my worst pregnancy so far out of 3.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? I'm attempting to move my 2 year old's clothes out of baby's room and into the 4 year old's room. They've both been sleeping in there, but organizing 2 different sizes of clothes is tough. I want the baby's room cleared out though.
GTKY: How many kids do you have/are planning to have? We've always agreed on 3 and considering how rough this pregnancy has been, I'm sticking to that! This baby will compete our family
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: It's comforting to see Im not alone in struggling today (I wish we were all feeling better)! Ihave been miserable all day after 5 days without exhaustion/ms. I've taken two naps and just feel awful.
GTKY: How many kids do you have/are planning to have? We want 3. We would have to do IVF each time though so we will have to see.
@HBamama2B and @xaudreyx2011 I'm right there with you. I think today has been my worst day since the beginning. I'm giving up and going to take the prescription the OB gave me last week. I literally cannot do this anymore. Sorry that there are people in the same boat... Hopefully the 2nd tri will be kinder.
