Re: Monday Check-In
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: burped stomach acid this morning. I thought we were done with this body....
What are you doing to get ready for baby?(Feel free to skip this question if you don't have anything): woo I actually have something today! DH decided he wanted to be baby-productive yesterday. Some graco stuff was on sale on amazon so we ordered a fancy pack-and-play. Well then DH decided he wanted to clean out more of the office that will become the baby's room so he has somewhere to set up the PNP when it gets here. We got rid of all the excess boxes and clutter that was in there and the took the books and bookshelf out put it where it will be from now on. Now I just have to clean up my desk in there and figure out where in earth the printer is going to go.
GTKY: Tell us something not many people know about you: I'm really bummed that I won't get to ski this winter even though the mountains around where I live now are baby mountains compared to where I learned to ski. That being said, I loved teaching DH to ski and can't wait to teach this baby to ski when they're older.
How far along are you: 14+2
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Second OB appointment this afternoon! I'm excited to hear baby's heartbeat again. Other than that, I think it's just a routine appt...blood work, weight, measurements, etc. Got 90% of my holiday baking done yesterday! It was an all day event, and by 5pm my feet hurt so bad that I said screw it, I'll finish tomorrow. As far as symptoms...shooting vagina pains, gassy, RLP, headaches.
Questions? None today.
GTKY: Tell us something not many people know about you. When I was younger I used to play just about every sport under the sun (not every, but quite a few) - softball, swim team, dance and figure skating to name a few.
*Edited to add more to Raves
Symptoms: RLP plus back ache plus upcoming appointment equals major anxiety.
Rave: meeting my best friend for a Caribbean lunch. Then hanging out with her and my daughter this afternoon. That should distract me from my anxiety.
Question- lots of growing pains at just over 12 weeks is normal right? Ignore me if you've already attempted to reassure me in my RLP discussion- you're all so nice and helpful. I had a lot of aches 2 weeks ago but then a hiatus.
GTKY: I used to do competitive springboard diving in high school.
@Sgoldberg247 we took out oldest two skiing last year. By skiing I mean they took a lesson. One loved it, the other cried the whole time lol. Hoping they like it more next year.
Symptoms : cramping had stopped hit last night had some again. But thankful it's not an every day occurance like it was.
Raves: I have two Christmas party suppers this week!
GTKY: I'm a reality tv junkie :S I know! How bad is that?!? Lol but I love them!
Enjoy your Christmas parties this week!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Rave: OB appointment tomorrow morning! Soo excited to hear/see baby again! Rant: I seem to be getting sick again and it feels very similar to what I had a few weeks ago - upper respiratory infection. Started with a sore throat, now it's scratchy and feels like there is a lot of post-nasal drip. Hoping it won't stick around. Symptoms: RLP, heartburn, tired, sore nips, tender boobs.
GTKY: Tell us something not many people know about you: I did JROTC in high school and was actually pretty good at it. I was on all the special teams and captain of the rifle team and got a ton of medals.

My Chart

Rants/Raves/Symptoms:
I feel like shit. Awful headache plus a cold, & RLP is kicking my butt. I wish I could have stayed in bed today.
Only 4.5 work days until a 2 week break. Friday seems so far away at the moment.
GTKY: Tell us something not many people know about you.
Hmm. I often question the profession I chose. I wanted to be a teacher for most of my life, but jobs are so hard to come by around here. And I'm not really satisfied at my current school. I wish I had chosen a different route...but I don't know what route that would have been. I don't really talk about that with anyone because it seems so overwhelming at times.

What are you doing to get ready for baby? Might head to BRU today to try out strollers and car seats, etc. I learned a lot from the car seat thread yesterday. We have a civic and it never occurred to me that there wouldn't be room and that the passenger seat might be out of commission!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms Still feeling like absolute crap today. I keep waking up praying I'll feel better after 2 weeks of this. No such luck.
Doing to get ready for baby? Nothing
GTKY I've lived in Germany for 3 months as an exchange student. Loved it best experience.
@DeePaddy24 Ditto on the Friday comment. It can't come soon enough. I'm looking forward to my 3 day week next week.
@catherinekate Good luck at your appt today! Let us know how everything goes. My sister came over to help me with the baking, so I can't take all the credit lol
@cmillar36I hope you start feeling better soon
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Puked for the first time this morning. I thought this sh*t was supposed to be going away, not JUST showing up! Rave: I am 99% done with Christmas shopping! I almost passed out while standing in the checkout line yesterday, but I made it out alive! Now I just have to wrap them all. And figure out what to get for my FIL... he's the hardest to shop for! DH has no ideas either, but he's a little pre-occupied with having bronchitis and pneumonia. Our house is a mess right now.
Questions? None that I can think of...
GTKY: Tell us something not many people know about you. I got to ride on the Weightless Wonder at NASA in college. It's the plane that they use to simulate zero gravity. It was awesome!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Yesterday I picked up and swung around my nephew (21 months, maaaybe 20lbs) at our Secret Santa exchange and I had the gnarliest stabbing pain immediately after and on and off for the rest of the night. I called the doctor and they said they don't think his weight was an issue, probably just how I picked him up and to take it easy today and reevaluate my pain at the same time tomorrow. I feel better this morning and now I have the day off work to relax and prep for finals on Wednesday, but holy crap I was so terrified last night that I had hurt my baby. I felt so guilty.
GTKY: Tell us something not many people know about you. I am TERRIFIED of frogs. I have an aunt that freaks out when she sees one and I imagine she traumatized me at a young age. I learned just the other day that she had a bad acid trip when she was younger and her boyfriend "turned into a frog" and ever since then she's been freaked out by them. So, I'm terrified of frogs because my aunt took drugs 30 years ago, haha.
@Mrsschmity - I think our puke fairies missed the memo about nausea going away after 12 weeks... My most repeated phrase right now is "come on baby, cooperate with me!" I know it's my stupid body an hormones that are making me nauseous, not the actual baby; but my stomach doesn't have ears, so I can't ask for it's cooperation!
How far along are you: 12 weeks, 6 days
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Not feeling pukey at all anymore - moved onto starving constantly and needing 5 meals a day... also, spending waaaay too much on delivery food when I MUST HAVE something NOW! Like, Chinese food yesterday. I woke up wanting it for breakfast and waited until 11 am when the store opened to order it immediately!
What are you doing to get ready for baby? (Feel free to skip this question if you don't have anything): Not much at the moment, just keeping an eye out for any needed items on local yard sale sites so I can get good deals. Also, going to my next doc appt today, so happy to hear the heartbeat hopefully!
Questions? Nope.
GTKY: Tell us something not many people know about you. Hmm... I'm pregnant! Haha! I have only told my immediate family and like 3 friends, so not many people know that about me! I'm honestly kind of embarrassed to tell people because I swore we were done with kids and DS2 is only 18 months, so I fear people are going to think I'm full of it!
DS2 5-18-2014
DD1 EDD 6-21-2016
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Nothing really to rant or rave about. We had a great weekend. Oh! DH surprised me last night by driving us up to Hershey, PA and taking me to the Sweet Lights display that I'd wanted to go see for a few years. Super sweet of him.
GTKY: Tell us something not many people know about you. I had to sit and think about this for a little while, lol! And I still got nothin'. I'm sooo boring. Uhh, everyone knows I have cats (three now, since we recently adopted a kitten). But fewer people know that I'm actually allergic to cats! I get some weird looks when I tell people that info, haha.
Me: 26 | DH: 27
Rants/Raves/Symptoms:
DH's boss told everyone I'm pregnant at a meeting on Friday. Eye roll. I was rather confused at first when people kept coming up to me with congratulations.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Sent out our announcements this morning, if that counts.
GTKY: Tell us something not many people know about you.
I went to NASA Space Camp in Florida when I was in 6th grade. I got a special award at camp graduation for my team having the best shuttle flight simulation. I was the shuttle commander and decided I wanted to be one when I grew up. Spoiler alert: not a shuttle commander. Turns out that industry was dead when I went to college, hah.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? (Feel free to skip this question if you don't have anything): I cleaned up the guest room finally that will be the baby's room. It was a mess! H and I are putting together the stroller we bought for the baby (Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale) today too.
GTKY: Tell us something not many people know about you: I used to sing opera and thought about becoming an opera singer professionally. I went with something practical instead (corporate finance law) but I still enjoy singing and recently sang for my aunt and her partner's wedding ("All I Ask Of You" from Phantom as well as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow")
How far along are you: 11w4d
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Tired, nausea is intermittent (rave?), slight uterine stretching sensations, sore nips.
GTKY: Tell us something not many people know about you.
I was a competitive gymnast for a decade before I got too tall (physics are a beyotch when your center of gravity is too high), then I was a ballet dancer for another decade into adulthood. Seriously miss both, but dancing is way more practical to continue as a very tall almost 30 year old
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I've been super grouchy the last two days. It's been a weird mood...like everything people do is pissing me off. I don't know if that is a Rant or a symptom but it's frustrating as hell. Rave...I met my ex-husband girlfriend yesterday and she seems very nice and has a great attitude toward her role in my son's life. She even volunteered them to take care of the LO when she arrives. I know that seems weird but my ex and I get along great and we have a great friendship.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? After Friday SO and I will both be on Christmas break for 2 weeks, we are both teachers/coaches. We are going to do our best to get the baby's room ready before we have to go back to work. We are ripping up carpet, painting walls, changing the ceiling fan to a chandelier, and moving all the furniture in.
Questions? Is anyone else so frustrated with the SO that get angry at a spoken word?

Rant: I'm not done with my skating dress for my skating solo that's THIS Sunday..... I had To make a new one that didn't make me look fat, and actually made my bump/blump a little less.... Blumpy?
Rave: my dress looks awesome so far!!! It's still in pieces and I have a lot of work to do on it, but I'm excited.
GTKY: not only am I a seamstress and an ice skating coach, I'm also a certified chef AND pastry chef. I went through culinary school, got my associates and bachelors of science, and worked in kitchen for the last 7 years. My last job had a lot of drama and because I was a woman in the kitchen, I got a lot of crap from a new chef, so I actually told him to eff off and I quit. Lol. I worked there for 4, almost 5 years and helped build that place to what it was.
Time for some decaf coffee and to finish the dress!!!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: My symptoms seems to be chilling a bit. Though I do get a little nauseous still and my nipples are insanely sensitive and a bit itchy. I woke up this morning with a headache and I've had some RLP. I've been having a lot more energy though. My food aversions are still strong though... I wonder if I'll ever eat meat again.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? So far just been listening to audio books and podcasts
Questions? None right now
GTKY: Tell us something not many people know about you. I'm incredibly picky about how socks fit on my feet.

As far as the kitchen goes, I was essentially one of the boys and never had an issue with anyone on staff until the new "chef" took over. He was lazy, didn't do a single thing but when he did, I had to redo it (he would start French fries in the dryer before even starting to toast the baguette for a sandwich....), so it would take wayyyy more time than necessary. I called him out and that pissed him off lol.
