GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy?
Re: Friday Check-In
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Cold-ish symptoms. Tired. Crampy stretchy feeling in the uterine vicinity.
Rave: I can feel my uterus popping up over my pelvic bone! I excitedly asked DH if he wanted to feel. His response: "Wait, so you're asking me to put my hand down your pants?! Awesome." ....Lol
GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy?
1. Glass of wine. But a small one because a normal sized glass will knock me over as I'll have zero tolerance.
2. Medium rare steak.
Ok, fine. Both at the same time.

Rants/Raves/Symptoms:
I just have to work 3.5 hours today & then I am FREE for 2 whole weeks. I need this so bad! And I'm wearing my reveal shirt to work (wearing it 3x this weekend, lol, I didn't plan that well).
GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy?
Eat all the sushi! And my 30th birthday is a few weeks after baby is due, & I plan on celebrating with some wine or bubbly. I miss wine...

How far along: 13 and 2
Rants/ Raves /Symptoms: Rave: yesterday was the first day I felt I had a little more energy. I'm hoping that the 14 week glory days of my first pregnancy will happen again. Raves: My dog was up at 4am with the poops. Boo!
Symptoms: achy and constipated!
GTKY: I'm definitely going to enjoy that first glass of wine! Even though last time I had a bottle of champers in the bag but didn't feel like it when it came to it.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I think I have figured out my post first trimester puking problem!! No more Go Lean Crunch cereal. Blah.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Eating too much
Questions? ---
GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy?
Drink a glass of wine as I lay on my stomach and eat sashimi until I can't move.

Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Its Friday! My stomach has been sore the past few days as everything stretches out. Still not really a very visible bump but I can definitely feel it. One the one hand I want to get a bump already, but in the other it needs to hold out until Thursday when we tell my family. Then it can makes its grand appearance.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? : Trying to eat healthy food when all I'm craving is Chinese food...
GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy?
Hmmm, torn between a glass of wine and a long soak in a hot tub.
Yay for vacation @DeePaddy24! Same shirt 3x this weekend? Psh, that's what dryer sheets and the fluff cycle are for
SaveSave
@HighFive16 FX the energy is here to stay!
@NicknShan I didn't even think about the not being able to lay on my stomach...count me in for that one too!
@Sgoldberg247 Anything fun/special planned for how you'll be telling your family?!
@mrsschmity: Ugh, I do remember you having a rough time with a cold. Downing tons of honey lemon tea and steaming myself in the shower in hopes it'll lessen the symptoms. Also, so glad you liked Star Wars--love hearing about converts
@DeePaddy24: Love that shirt!!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I just want some energy and be able to stay awake past 8:30
What are you doing to get ready for baby? We moved my oldest son into his new room so we can start cleaning out the closet and painting the nursery.
Questions? None today
GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy? Drink a glass of Red Wine or two (one to celebrate each baby)
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Not a whole lot, would love some energy back! Sitting at my dr appt now.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Nothing at the moment, focusing on Christmas and my son!
Questions? Nope
GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy?
A dozen oysters and a glass of champagne!!
@Bear14+: Good luck at the Dr appt!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: still with the ms, RLP, headaches
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Still house hunting
Questions? Nope
GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy?
Good sushi (the kind with raw fish of course) and a giant margarita
@DeePaddy24 I love it! Cute shirt.
How far along are you? 15+4
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I am just soooo happy it's Friday. DH has worked every night for the last week so I feel like I haven't seen him at all. I'm glad he's off a little earlier tonight so I'll probably be able to hang until he gets home. Everything else is the same... exhausted, RLP, starving constantly.
Questions? Nope.
GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy? Have a flipping drink! Maybe a margarita, or a whiskey, or a beer... My SIL brought a bottle of wine with her in her hospital bag. I don't think I'll go that far haha but I'll definitely have something waiting for me when I get home to drink when I feel up to it.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Nausea is coming in waves now...not completely gone but hits me twice a day usually. I'll take it over all day nausea though.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? We STILL haven't put together our stroller we bought nearly a month ago. We are doing it Sunday I think.
Questions? Does anyone else's stomach hurt? Mine is hard as a rock with baby (even after I go to the bathroom and wake up from fasting). When I move around in bed, its a bit of a struggle. I didn't think would be an issue so early on but maybe I'm just not used to it? I'm just having issues getting comfortable at night and at 15 weeks I don't think that bodes well for the future. I'm short (5'4") if that makes a difference.
GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy? Wine. H better have it in the delivery room...kidding...sort of.
16+2
No rants or raves. I just feel very preggo. Belly definitely popped and I *think* I'm at the point where it's probably noticeable and not just "holy crap, she overdid it at Thanksgiving and all the Christmas junk. Have SOME self-control, woman!"
We're doing nada for the bambino. This is our third and we're waiting to do anything until January, when we find out sex. We need to split our daughters' ginormous bedroom into two, so that'll be interesting.
I'm soooo ready for a glass of wine.
@HighFive16 that's awesome to hear you have more energy. I miss energy!
@NicknShan love your Getting Ready answer. I am also doing that! I had a really awesome burrito last night and actually felt GREAT after eating it (like better than I had all day) so win win
12w6d
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Kind of nauseated today but hanging in. Tired but just cause I had a fun dinner out last night which is my favourite kind of tired.
Rave: LAST DAY OF SCHOOL YEAR FOR 2015! And my dog is joining me in my office to day which I always enjoy (so does she- we're a good admin team).
Questions: I hope to get back to the gym soon. Any tips for re-starting an exercise routine? I used to do cardio and weights 3 times a week until about 2.5 months ago but have not exercised a lot in the meantime.
GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy?
Drink as much coffee as I want (yes, I know, breastfeeding... but I never noticed it made much of a difference for my daughter). Also, beer.
@DeePaddy24 - Yeah for 2 weeks off! That sounds heavenly.
@mrsschmity - I feel like my belly is growing like crazy too. My jeans still fit so it can't be that big but, seriously, it feels like I'm growing out like crazy. I'm looking forward to seeing the Star Wars movie with H this weekend and I don't even really care for the series! Harrison Ford is still swoon worthy IMO.
@crdo - Ha! Whenever I tell H to feel my belly he does it so carefully like its going to hurt the baby. Its hilarious. Your H's reaction is awesome.
@HighFive16 - Ugh for the 4 am doggie poops. Sorry, that sucks...especially if its cold where you live.
@Bear14+ GL at your doc appt!
How far along are you: 13w6d
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: sitting in the waiting room at my recheck doc appt. Hoping we can hear the heartbeat this time.
Symptoms: I'm really tired of riding the bloat boat. I don't remember this at all from my first pregnancy! My doc said last week my uterus hasn't come up from behind my pelvic bone yet. From nada to big blump each day. I feel so not cute.
GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy?
Sleep directly on my face like a dead body. Probably enjoy a glass of wine or a homebrew.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I'm getting sick but hoping it isn't too bad and goes away before Christmas/vacation. My little sister is coming to spend the night tonight! RLP has shown up and if laugh or cough it's not a good situation lol
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Eating everything in site...does that count?
Questions?
GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy? WINE!!!! DH said I sound like an alcoholic because I talk about it on a weekly basis...easy for him because he's not the one that had to give up alcohol
How far along are you:
15+6
Rants/Raves/Symptoms:
Rave time!!! I am finally feeling better and getting some energy back but what I'm really excited for is the kicks and flutters. The past few days about 20-30 min after a meal they start and it's so cool. My midwife confirmed during an appt that what I was feeling was def baby and she told me the reason I can feel it so soon is because I had no "padding" in the area where baby is. I've been feeling it almost every day since the beginning of this week and I'm so glad cause it assures me baby is going good!!!!!!
What are you doing to get ready for baby?
Questions?
Are there any other moms feeling a very active baby this early? I can't be the only one. And to second time moms if you had a strong active bBy in the early days did they kick so hard it hurt as they got bigger? Just curious.
GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy?
I told DH we are bringing a bottle of champagne to the birth center!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Nausea seems to be lessening every day... hooray! Today is going to be awesome - It's our company's Christmas day, so catered lunch, snacks all day, and hopefully being told to leave early. DH is coming home today after 2 weeks of traveling!!!! It's FRIDAY! And I'm on vacation all of next week and most of the week after!
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Sleeping. That counts, yes?
Questions? None.
GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy? Probably have a beer, but I honestly haven't even been missing it. I also agree with @NicknShan, lay on my stomach and eat sushi/sashimi until I fall into a food coma!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Rave: TGIF! Yesterday, we had our NT scan and everything went great! It was so awesome seeing the baby actually resembling a baby! Baby appeared to be hiccuping and was stretching a leg out and moving an arm. It was so cute! I can't stop looking at the u/s pictures. You could even see the brain and his little heart beating. We should get blood test results in a couple weeks and will find out the sex then as well. I'm leaning towards a boy now. Also, we are announcing this weekend on social media! Symptoms: Been feeling nauseous a lot of the morning today and had to eat 2 breakfasts. I was starving when I went to bed last night. Heartburn, tired, and RLP. Almost threw up when brushing my teeth...
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Being overwhelmed by all the things needed for baby and worrying I won't get the best/right things. I really have no idea what I'm doing. Someone sent us a package from Amazon for a newborn swaddle insert thing but there was no note/receipt so we have no idea who gave it to us, but keep 'em coming! haha, I'm not complaining! We haven't even added to the registry yet!
Questions?

@Bear14+ GL at the dr apt! I second those oysters! Miss them so much!
How far along are you: 13+6!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: still fighting this cold. And a bad attitude. Does that count?

GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy?
1982 Henriot champ currently on my shelf, a Williamette Balley Pinot Noir, a salt rim scratch margarita from my favorite joint. Oysters sushi rare filet. I need it all.
So basically the theme for today's check in is:
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: none again today
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Yesterday we put a gate up in our SUV to keep the dogs behind the middle seat.
Questions? None today
GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy? I completely gave up coffee when I found out I was pregnant so first thing I wanna do is drink a cup of coffee. Sounds silly I know but I was drinking 4/5 cups a day before I got pregnant. Of course I can only drink one or two cups per day after baby comes because I'll be nursing for a while.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: My DH says he feels like he's coming down with something... and then wants to cuddle. Um, love you, but no? I don't want your icky germs!! He's driving me nuts with it! Otherwise, is Friday and I'm loving that!! Oh! And I'm thinking of hitting up chick-fil-a for waffle fries and the peppermint chocolate chip milkshake- so tasty.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? I'm trying trip figure out the nursery, but I can't seem to stick with an idea. I really need someone to just come in, do it for me, and tell me it's over. I can't make a decision and I'm driving DH nuts.
Questions?
GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy? Sushi!! Oh, you wonderful raw fish. I'm also looking forward to getting my caramel macchiatos again.
@crdo That's hilarious! My SO tried to talk to the baby the other night, which I know is useless right now but he was trying to be cute. Anyway, he was talking to my stomach and I said "ummmm...baby that's not where she is".
@deepaddy24 That shirt is adorable!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: My rave is that I have 2 more hours of work and then off until January 4th. YES!!!!!!!!!
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Furniture shopping.
Questions? None.
GTKY: After baby comes, what is the first thing you're going to do that you haven't been/won't be able to do during your pregnancy?
I'm all about the ones I've already seen. I'm sleeping on my stomach and drinking an adult beverage. Not sure what it will be but I'll be drinking it.
