letyourheartbeyourguide · January 2016

Rants/Raves/Randoms:

letyourheartbeyourguide · January 2016

How far along are you? 3w6d

How are you feeling? Pretty good!

Doing anything baby related today? Nope

Rants/Raves/Randoms: My boobs are slightly less sore which makes me nervous, but the wondfo was still positive today. Trying to remember the "today I am pregnant" mantra. PGAL brain is real!

Questions? None

GTKY: It's Friday! Any fun weekend plans coming up? Going out for brunch tomorrow, which is always my favorite meal. But not having a mimosa will be a bummer!

imakeeff0rts · January 2016

How far along are you? Almost 6 weeks (I'm here because my baby could be born in either August or September).

How are you feeling? I'm feeling pretty ok. I'm completely exhausted and my hips are killing me.

Doing anything baby related today? Not really - It's 6:30 p.m. here, so our day is almost over. We've mostly been cleaning around the house and playing with our son.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I made some pretty bangin' fries tonight.

Questions? Nope. This is isn't my first rodeo.

GTKY: It's Friday! Any fun weekend plans coming up?: More cleaning and bumming around tomorrow, and then we're going to take our son to see The Good Dinosaur.

-holy crap... I woke up in the worse pain ever from constipation!! What the heck?!

Doing anything baby related today?

Questions?
-Any tips with dealing with constipation?!

GTKY: It's Friday! Any fun weekend plans coming up?
-We are officially house hunting for our forever home. Spending the weekend driving around and scoping out areas/neighborhoods!

sputnikbloop · January 2016

How far along are you? 4+6

How are you feeling? Great, except for the fact that I am at work.

Doing anything baby related today? Peeing. Trying to poop.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: MY BOOBS ARE SO HUGE

Questions? Nah.

GTKY: It's Friday! Any fun weekend plans coming up? Fallout 4 binge.

persingerma · January 2016

How far along are you?
4 weeks 6 days

How are you feeling?
Pretty blah. I picked up a bad cold somewhere, and I miss being able to breathe through my nose. Lots of water and steam!

Doing anything baby related today?
Not specifically. May go back over a couple of chapters in my pregnancy book or work on my baby book a little.

Rants/Raves/Randoms:
My husband gives my tummy a kiss every morning and night, and sometimes sings lullabies to our little one. Nevermind mind the fact that it doesn't have ears yet :-P it's still really cute and sweet.

Questions?
Not today.

GTKY: It's Friday! Any fun weekend plans coming up?
Family day on Sunday! If the weather isn't too cold, I'm looking forward to a trip to the zoo!

Sarafuss · January 2016

How far along are you? 4w4d

How are you feeling? Feeling better about things since my symptoms have increased. Sore/fuller boobs and mild nausea started yesterday.

Doing anything baby related today? Nope.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I'm relieved that my digital went from 1-2 weeks past O to 2-3. Makes me hopeful for a good beta on Monday!

Questions? Nope. Can't think of any.

GTKY: It's Friday! Any fun weekend plans coming up? We are headed out to buy a new couch today and I have a hair appointment tomorrow. Other than that I plan to relax at home!

Sarafuss · January 2016

@reesaXden in past pregnancies I would have to drink a lot of water and take 2-3 colace a day to keep things moving. I'm sure it will hit me eventually but I'm having the opposite problem.

Probably from the metformin.

nwshay · January 2016

How far along are you? 5wks 1 day

How are you feeling? Pretty good. It's only 11 though. Boobs are really really sore. I'm hungry all the time. Besides that, great.

Doing anything baby related today? Nope. Getting the house clean and trying to keep it that way, so I suppose that counts

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I have to eat like every hour or I'm starving! What the heck? Was not expecting this already. Also- in forgot how annoying DH is while drunk. DDing will not be fun for 9mos.

Questions? Anyone have ultra giant boobs like me (34g-f) and have found a good sports bra or comfy bra? I'm thinking that sleeping in one could help...

GTKY: It's Friday! Any fun weekend plans coming up? We're thinking about going shooting tmrw so that will be fun!

mom2adoodle · January 2016

How far along are you? 4 weeks 4 days!

How are you feeling? I had a rough morning with a bad mood swing and a headache. Resting now and feeling better! Random cramping continues...I'm bringing it up at my first appointment on the 7th.

Doing anything baby related today? I follow some instagram moms and I was jotting down some registry ideas from them. I'm a nut case. Feel free to judge but I don't care

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I told my sister I was pregnant and she teared up! It was sweet and unexpected.

Questions? Is anyone else super anxious about anything and everything? Will this baby stick? When will they be born? Should my DH come to my first appointment? Is it a boy/girl? Will I be healthy? How do I tell my in-laws? I need to stop thinking.

GTKY: It's Friday! Any fun weekend plans coming up? Driving back home tomorrow and packing today...

MojieJo · January 2016

How far along are you? 4 weeks, 6 days. Almost 5 weeks!

How are you feeling? Pretty decent, all things considered. My symptoms tend to get worse in the evenings, though, so this is the "easier" part of the day for me. Boobs are so sore I can barely stand to have anything so much as brush against them and I'm ravenously hungry. I'm peeing a lot, nauseated on and off (and can smell everything) and have mild cramping and back spasms, but since I'm used to being in chronic pain (fibromyalgia), I'm not particularly bothered by not feeling 100%.

Doing anything baby related today? Maybe doing some advanced scouting for a dress to wear to my DH's cousin's wedding in May (not planning on buying anything yet, obviously, just seeing what's out there).

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I weighed myself this morning and I've lost a pound between yesterday and today. I'm positive it's because I was peeing constantly yesterday (to the point where I'm dehydrated today), but it still worries me a little. Because I worry about everything.

Questions? Not really. Of course, I'm super forgetful right now, so it's entirely possible that there's something I was wondering about that I've completely forgotten.

Smashbox29 · January 2016

How far along are you? 4w1d

How are you feeling? Crampy and my lower back killed me yesterday

Doing anything baby related today? Nope just relaxing

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I totally overworked my body from cleaning our house last minute yesterday for a NYE party. By the start of the party I was exhausted, the cramps were more consistent, feet hurt, and my lower back/hips killed me yesterday.

Questions? Still no nausea is this normal/okay?

GTKY: It's Friday! Any fun weekend plans coming up? Nope. I had yesterday and today off from work. I have to go back to work tomorrow because my credit union I work at is a Saturday branch. It blows when a holiday ends on a Friday and you have to go back to work Saturday to only get Sunday off.

sputnikbloop · January 2016

@mojiejo I'm going to a wedding at the end of April and have been doing some advanced dress scouting. I'm thinking that I'm just going to have to try some on when the time gets closer... some look cute with a bump but who knows how big mine will be by then.

MojieJo · January 2016

I think I'm probably going to have to do the same, @sputnikbloop. I hate putting things off until the last minute, but who knows what kind of belly I'll be dressing 5 months from now.

Maybe if I get lucky I can wear something I already own, since I have a few empire waist dresses that may or may not be wearable with a bump.

I was already stressing over what I was going to wear (I'm not really much of a dress kind of girl and certainly not a dressy dress one) before I found out we were expecting, so this just makes it even harder. Hopefully it ends up being easier than I'm expecting to find something that will work.

TheTamedShrew · January 2016

How far along are you? 5w2d

How are you feeling? Still feeling pretty great. Only symptoms are sore boobs and a little bloat.

Doing anything baby related today? DH and I had a little chat about names earlier. Other than that just bumping and enjoying DH being home.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: It's finally January type weather today. That's all I got. Also apparently I'm the UO villain...

Questions? Can't think of any

GTKY: It's Friday! Any fun weekend plans coming up? Fireplace cuddling and family time. Hanging out with friends tomorrow and I think DH and I are having date night on Sunday and going to see "The Revenant". Tom Hardy FTW!!!

reesaXden · January 2016

I did end up doing something baby related today! If you have an old navy near you that carries maternity go check them out! $5 maternity shirts? Uh... Yes, please!!!

nwshay · January 2016

@Smashbox29 from what I've ready nausea doesn't usually set in until about 6 wks. And not everyone gets a ton of symptoms. Just enjoy feeling well while you do

^ this. Enjoy the lack of morning sickness and hope that you're lucky enough to avoid it altogether!

Also, @TheTamedShrew - is being the UO villain a rant or a rave?

TheTamedShrew · January 2016

Ha! I'm unsure at this point @letyourheartbeyourguide, but I will say this is the first time I've ever felt like the biggest meanie on a BMB. I'm usually team nicey- nice. Oh well.

reesaXden · January 2016

@izzetoot Here's the Friday check-in!!

izzetoot · January 2016

Haha! Guess I didn't look hard enough

Too early to blame in on pregnancy brain?? LOL

izzetoot · January 2016

How far along are you? 5 weeks

How are you feeling? Pretty good! My sence of smell has gone into over drive! My DS smells like cookies and my DH well... not so much!

Doing anything baby related today? On national hangover day, all we doing is watching Netfix cartoon movies and playing with Christmas toys

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: We told our family last night that we were expecting! Everyone was super excited and congratulated us and my SIL roller her eyes and said "im sorry" She's trying to be funny bc she was the first of us to have 2 kids, but really???

Questions? Nope

GTKY: It's Friday! Any fun weekend plans coming up? Having a bbq on Sunday! Cleaning house and taking Christmas deco down, womp womp...

WorkingOnMyNightCheese · January 2016

How far along are you? 5 +1

How are you feeling? So tired today and my boobs feel like they're on fire! Ouch!

Doing anything baby related today?
I read the website for our hosital's birthing center. Other than it's been a VERY lazy day!

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: is anyone else thirsty all the time! I can't seem to get enough water in me.

Questions? None today

GTKY:
Not really, probably going to stay pretty low key since I go back to work Monday. Soaking up the last few days if vacation!

FireInWonderland · January 2016

How far along are you?
- 3w3d

How are you feeling?
- Mostly okay, bloated and gassy with some crampy/pulling sensations. Cranky, too, but it comes and goes.

Doing anything baby related today?
- Just hanging out on TB and avoiding telling everyone I know about my big news.

Rants/Raves/Randoms:
- Like someone posted earlier, I'd forgotten how annoying DH is when he's really drunk, and this next 9 months will suck for me as well. Also my OB isn't in the office until Monday and I am concerned about my levels. Before O they hadn't quite dropped to 0 from my loss and the doc said it would be alright but I'm kind of paranoid. I've chalked most of it up to PGAL brain, but I don't want to write it off completely.

Questions?
- Does anyone else do pole fitness? I know it's not a baby related question, but I'm curious.

GTKY: It's Friday! Any fun weekend plans coming up?
- Working on the January pole challenge and the 10 min/ day workout challenge, and binge watching Grimm with DH as he goes back to work on Sunday.

KatBH · January 2016

How far along are you? 5w 1 day

How are you feeling? Pretty good. Still just mild cramping, sore boobs at night, and I feel like I'm getting tired easily. Today I've also felt incredibly dehydrated.

Doing anything baby related today? Nothing today.

GTKY: It's Friday! Any fun weekend plans coming up? Nothing big. Probably dinner with the parents at some point, and brunch on Sunday.

Kristin15172004 · January 2016

How far along are you? 4 weeks

How are you feeling? I over did it at Walmart today grocery shopping with my mom, so I was pretty exhausted the rest of the day. Bloat is still there. And every time I get in the car I get nauseous.

Doing anything baby related today? I called my dad (he lives far away) and told him!! He was so happy, he almost cried, which of course made me cry! Got to love hormones lol!

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I already look about 4 months pregnant with all this bloat going on. I'm not sure how long I can hide it at work. I tried on almost everything in my closet and only found 2 shirts that don't make it obvious!! I am definitely going shopping tomorrow for a couple extra tops!

Questions? none right now

GTKY: It's Friday! Any fun weekend plans coming up? possibly getting new phones tomorrow, so that's fun I guess...DH is super excited!! I'm still learning how to use my current phone!

KayJDT3 · January 2016

How far along are you? 3w 4d

How are you feeling? Crampy and nauseated

Doing anything baby related today? peeing on sticks and such. (just got my bfp today)

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. My nausea is so bad right now... I wasn't sick at all with my other two.

GTKY: My parents and siblings are visiting tomorrow. I can't wait. I hope I can keep my mouth shut about my bfp. DH prefers we don't tell anyone just yet. That being said... he's told the guys at work. lol he's excited! I think he mostly doesn't want my mom to know... she'd tell anyone and everyone. haha.

Smashbox29 · January 2016

Thanks @SDSwenson and @letyourheartbeyourguide

I just feel like I am not truly pregnant and I am trying to not POAS everyday.
