Expecting baby #1 August 2016
Already have three furbabies- Blake, Sydney, and Chester
Re: Christmas Eve Check In
How are you feeling? Pretty good today, had some trouble sleeping again but overall I'm good.
Doing anything baby related today? Bought some onesies and pacifiers for a Xmas gift to surprise the in laws tm.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: i finally did a whole 12hr shift yesterday since my CL rupture. It felt great to be on the floor again.
Questions? Since it was my first day back I kinda expected some cramps. Well I didn't really have cramps but an achey feeling in my pelvis area. Today I have that heavy feeling like you do before AF shows up, has anyone else felt like that?
GTKY- What are you looking forward to the most tm? Telling our families the news. I'm nervous because I don't want to jinx anything but I know they would offer support if anything were to happen.
How are you feeling? Like crap. At least I've been lazy all morning so the fatigue is currently at bay.
Doing anything baby related today? Announcing to my parents!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Super excited to be able to tell our parents today and tomorrow! Hoping that the MS subsides enough to eat food but I've got a box of Mac and cheese just in case. Also, less than a week until our first appointment!!
Questions? Nope
GTKY- What are you looking forward to the most tm?
Announcing to DH's parents (seeing my parents today, his parents tomorrow).
How far along are you? 7w4d
How are you feeling? Fantastic
Doing anything baby related today? Telling our families!!!!!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm just feeling blessed lately. I can't wait until my next ultrasound at almost ten weeks!
Questions? All of the due date calculators online calculate my due date as 8/7 using my lmp. My doctor, also using my lmp, said it was 8/8. It's one day so not a big deal just curious why the difference.
GTKY- What are you looking forward to the most tm? We do Christmas dinner at our house. Just excited to be with family.

How are you feeling? Nauseous and tired - the usual lol
Doing anything baby related today? Nope, well I'm still debating going to the local baby consignment store but they close in two hours.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Rant: I had intense back spasms last night (old injury related) that woke me up and then kept me up for hours. They're bad enough that they nearly brought me to tears. I also pulled a muscle in my shoulder a couple days ago so I'm just a ball of pain!
Rave: DH works at farmer's markets around the state so he brings me home things. Last week it was flowers and homemade apple turnover. Today he's bringing home some fresh caught hogfish filets. If you have never had hogfish (aka hog snapper) before, it's the best eating fish in the sea.
Questions? Nope
GTKY- What are you looking forward to the most tm?
We don't do christmas, so tomorrow is just another day for us except that all the stores and restaurants are closed lol. We may go to the aquarium or busch gardens or something.
How far along are you? 5w5d
How are you feeling? Pretty good! Still no major symptoms. Just fatigue and slight breast tenderness. Oh, and a major pimple breakout!
Doing anything baby related today? Nope!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Merry Christmas!!
Questions? Can symptoms change day to day? Like can breasts be more sore one day then less the next?
GTKY- What are you looking forward to the most tm? Everyone opening up the presents I bought them!
How are you feeling? Other than fatigue I feel pretty good. Which of course makes me nervous. Trying to remember when the nausea hit last time and I thought it was around now...
Doing anything baby related today? Just taking care of the one I have!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Jealous of everyone who has been able to see or hear the heartbeat already! I asked my doc for an early US but she said it wasn't necessary. So I have to wait till Feb 4th!!!
Questions? None.
GTKY- DD opening the presents we got for her!
How are you feeling? Tired but I think more of that has to do with being so busy getting ready for the holidays.
Doing anything baby related today? Not that I can think of.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: We had a potluck at work today and I am super glad I can still eat without getting sick! The smells are a little overwhelming but not too bad yet.
Questions? Not today.

Doing anything baby related today?
Trying to word a card about our news for my MIL.
Rant/raves positive vibes?
I'd a half day in work today and watched a movie with my husband. It felt so nice and Christmassy, just the two of us. I made an extra note of that moment as hopefully it's the last Christmas with just us!
Happy Christmas everyone!!

GTKY- What are you looking forward to the most tm

Married: 10/04/2014
DD1: 03/02/15
DD2: 08/04/16
Baby 3 Due: 11/23/18!
How are you feeling? Terrrrible. I was in a very minor car accident last night, so I feel like hell today. I was absolutely panicked because my stomach was killing me, but no blood, and it feels better with heat, so I think I just strained an ab muscle from the seat belt. I'm calling my OB on Monday to be sure....
Doing anything baby related today? Throwing up so so much. That counts right?
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: We had a horrible storm here last night, and on my way back from a Christmas party a tree dropped into the road about 15 feet in front of my car. I was able to slam on the brakes HARD and luckily its a new car, with snow tires, and brand new brakes, so it came to a screaming stop. Only the bumper is a smidge scratched on the very bottom. It's not even worth fixing. It could have been much worse, even seconds later if it had dropped the tree ON the car rather than in front of. DH was on the phone, on speaker, so he heard the whole thing.... poor guy, I bet his heart about stopped. I've been worried about little all day, between the stomach pain and the fact I was not wearing the seat belt adjuster.... The lack of spotting is a good sign all is well right?
On the bright side, telling my three best friends went really well. In fact, I didn't even have to tell. O took one look at my face and shrieked "OMG you're pregnant!" and when I nodded, she began jumping up and down screaming. Everyone cried, hugged and cheered. If we do lose the baby, I will want these women by my side through it, so I wanted to tell a little early. Plus, they would have figured it out when I wasn't sipping at our monthly "Paint and Sip." Lol
GTKY- What are you looking forward to the most tm? Telling our families! My mom is going to squee.
How are you feeling? Pretty good! Get waves of heart burn and nausea. Of course I've been up since 345 because our power went out and insomnia is deciding to take over which is the worst!
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: my first appointment isn't until 1-28-16! Just wish is was sooner!
Questions?
GTKY- What are you looking forward to the most tm? Seeing my daughters face walk down the stairs!
How are you feeling? Slightly better. I think the constant nausea is easing up a bit.
Doing anything baby related today? Nothing in particular...just trying to manage symptoms.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Last night, SIL announced she is also pregnant. I'm super happy for her, but I am bracing myself for our family to play another round of comparing our kids.
Questions? Suggestions for stuff to put in yogurt? I've been rocking berries and granola, but I'm getting bored.
GTKY- What are you looking forward to the most tm? DS's reaction. He's not quite 2. He asked Santa for "fast cars vroom vroom" and "candy yummmm." (Grandparents are pretty liberal with the sweets.)
How are you feeling? Good this morning, last night had a bit of nausea and stomach ache after dinner hoping it holds off today for the holiday with my family. (Not telling anyone)
Doing anything baby related today? Keeping the news under wraps, too early for me to tell with my early losses
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: My positive vibes today that I'm telling myself over and over "This pregnancy will make it full term and I will be holding a beautiful baby in my arms"
Questions? Nope
GTKY- What are you looking forward to the most tm? Seeing my family, I saw them on Thanksgiving but I only really see them twice a year
