GTKY- Anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?!
Expecting baby #1 August 2016
Already have three furbabies- Blake, Sydney, and Chester
Re: Sunday Check In
How are you feeling? Not bad, sore boobs and some shorts bouts of nausea but no vomiting yet, hope it never comes!
Doing anything baby related today? Just this
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Had a great weekend with friends celebrating my one friends dirty 30. I thought I wouldn't have a good time since I had to be sober but my one other friend is also pregnant so it was managable. It was nice not to have a hangover as well.
Questions?
GTKY- Anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?! Planning a beach vacay with family in July but that's it for now.
How are you feeling? So so much better, a bit more energy too.
Doing anything baby related today? Bumping
Rant/raves/positive vibes? I've seemed to have stopped wanting carbs all the time, which is great finally getting a lot more veg and fruits in.
Questions? Nope
GTKY- anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?
We've a weekend away in Feb down the country.
A week in March doing a bit of the wild Atlantic way on the west of Ireland and
finally 2 weeks with sunshine in Portugal in May!
How are you feeling? Queasy throughout the day. Taking naps when I get home from work which is kind of ruining my sleep at night. But I just feel so tired!
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Counting down to Saturday for my first appointment!

GTKY- Anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?!
I am planning to go to Egypt for a couple days in February, possibly Spain for spring break. Still deciding on that one. I also have the chance to go back to the US in June. I should be around 29 weeks and I can't decide if I will be able to/willing to make that 18 hour trip home. I would stay about 2 weeks and then fly back. Flying internationally at 31/32 weeks? Any advice? My school pays for the ticket so I would book it regardless.
How are you feeling? Actually, amazing! Morning sickness is gone for the most part, not as tired, not as sore. But it makes me nervous... just have to keep reminding myself I'm almost in the second trimester and I'll see baby again January 28th at about 13 weeks, and my belly is changing little by little.
Doing anything baby related today? Playing with my sister's babies and talking about both of our summer babies -to-be! (She's due in june)
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: positive vibes right now only, just trying to keep thinking positive and enjoying this pregnancy.
Questions? Nope.
GTKY- Anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?! I'm actually on that vacation right now! My mom and her boyfriend treated my sister and her family, my husband and me, and my uncle to a trip to Puerto Vallarta! This is definitely our babymoon of sorts (not as romantic, but still so fun!). And good timing since I just started to feel better a few days ago.
How are you feeling? Ugh! Really feeling the nausea today -- so far, I've kept things down, but I have a headache because it took me a few hours to work up to eating something this morning. Feeling tired and have tender breasts, but the nausea is winning today.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: When I got up this morning, I reached for some Annie's Bunny Graham crackers (to help with the nausea) and they were absolutely disgusting. My husband tried one (thinking that my taste buds were just off) and he had to spit it out. I usually reach for saltines, but graham crackers sounded a bit appealing. Luckily, tums + a few animal crackers helped me to keep things down after the unfortunate Bunny incident.
Questions?Not today
GTKY- Anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?! Nope. Talked with my husband about it and we mostly just want to save money before our Sweet Pea arrives.

How are you feeling?
ok, not too bad.
Doing anything baby related today?
Nope, working.
GTKY- Anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?!
No, we may do some local travel around the state, but don't have any big trips planned. May go visit family out of state (Florida) before baby arrives but still playing it by ear at this point.
How are you feeling? Not too bad. Tired as 18 mo old DS keeps me on my toes
Doing anything baby related today? Feeding baby!!! Made home made spicy salsa today and it's DELISH!!!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: mountain cedar is upon us in Texas and I'm hurting! The Claritin does nothing for it.... Just over a week until our first midwife appt.
Questions? Nope
GTKY- Anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?! No but we NEED one badly!!!
How are you feeling? Nauseated here and there. Food sounds good then doesn't, then does, then doesn't. I also have no energy to do anything.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Just keep reminding myself to enjoy every part of this. There are ppl who aren't lucky enough to experience this.
Questions? Who else can't sleep thru the night?
GTKY- Anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?!
We just finalized our May beach vaca. It will be right near our 2 year anniversary. We are going with 4 other couples. Should be a blast!
How are you feeling? Okay, nausea is still taking over my daily routines.. Worried about hearing the heartbeat for the first time on Friday.
Doing anything baby related today? Researching
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: DH has been great about taking care of me with the nausea.
Questions? I had some bright red spotting this morning when I woke up and went to the bathroom.. No cramping or abdominal pains but still worried as this is my first pregnancy and everything is new.. Anyone else experience this?
GTKY- Anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?! Yes, Kauai in May :-)
How are you feeling? A little better. Still so sick. I'm calling the doctor back for the medication tomorrow.
Doing anything baby related today? Do naps count?
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I can't believe we are having thunderstorms today. In Vermont.
Questions? @msdidonato Nope, between getting horribly thirsty, having to pee, and my husband snoring, it's been a loosing battle. He was barred from the bedroom Thursday night because I was so exhausted / weepy.
GTKY- Anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?! Niagara falls over Memorial day weekend! #babymoon
How are you feeling? Super thirsty. Constantly. Boobs are sore and I've got a little headache.
Doing anything baby related today? Just this
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Had a rush of bright red blood on Friday, went to ER and they found two additional subcaoreonich hemorrhages 1 cm each. Heart rate was lower than what it's been but ER Dr said its in a great place. I go to my OB tomorrow morning to see how everything is. We had a loss in August so my anxiety is pretty high. Just praying for strength no matter what happens.
Questions? Anyone else extremely thirsty?
GTKY- Anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?! I hope! I need one! DH is in the running for a trip to France in March, hoping he gets it but also nervous to travel. We will see what happens!
I don't know if it helps, but she explained that spotting is common during pregnancy because as the pregnancy progresses, the cervix has to soften and become spongy so that it can stretch around the baby during birth. (And as the cervix softens it bleeds more easily.)
How far along are you?
9 weeks and 4/5 days.
How are you feeling?
Still tired but improving.
Doing anything baby related today?
Just growing the little tapeworm.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Down to my last few days of progesterone!
Questions?
Not at this time.
GTKY- Anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?
Taking our son to Disney for his 5th birthday. We are driving straight down from NY. Spending a few days there followed by a visit to my grandfathers on the drive back to NY.
Silly hubby thinks we can drive straight down and only stop a few times to eat/potty.
How far along are you? 10w 2d
How are you feeling? Tired....soooo tired.
Doing anything baby related today? Read all the comments in a friend's FB post about crib mattresses. So much to think about!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Woke up to more spotting this morning. I'm a lot calmer this time (it seems to happen every weekend) bc my RE warned me that I might notice some spotting after stopping my progesterone this weekend. Going to call my obgyn tomorrow, but don't think they'll care. I miss my RE bc he would have had me come in right away for a peace-of-mind ultrasound!
Questions?
GTKY- Anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?! We are thinking about taking a 6 hour drive to Vermont for a few days in June. Spas, ice cream, and cheese.
How are you feeling? Mostly just absolutely fatigued. I can't get enough sleep. I go to bed early and sleep an hour later than usual and I'm still so tired every day I can barely make it to the end of the work night. And the pregnancy nightmares are back.
Doing anything baby related today? Just this.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Not really. Think I covered it in the how are you feeling section. I'm just bleh right now.
Questions? Nope.
GTKY- Anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?! No. Otherwise I wouldn't have any maternity leave to take in August.
How are you feeling? I've been having horrible gas pains and bloating the past couple days. I haven't been sleeping well but I'm pretty stuffy with this cold.
Doing anything baby related today? Not really. Been looking at mattresses for DS so baby can have the crib. DS is currently using it as a toddler bed.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Even though it's just a nurse appt, I'm excited to go in to talk in just 2 more weeks!
Questions?
GTKY- Anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?! I'd like to take DS to Lake Michigan this summer. He really wanted to go to the local water park and go down the giant water slide.. but I think he's still a little young for that.
How are you feeling? Nausea (still haven't puked though), boobs STILL hurt, and some bloating
Doing anything baby related today? reading about a new week and bumping
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Been away from home for a week and won't be back until Friday, I'm just ready to sleep in my own bed and see OH
Questions?
GTKY- Anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?! Colorado in May can't wait to have a fun and relaxing babymoon with just the hubby for awhile
How are you feeling? Basically normal, which makes me worry a bit.
Doing anything baby related today? No, but yesterday I went to my first prenatal yoga class. I felt very early on in my pregnancy compared to everyone else who was there. But I am hoping starting early will give me a lot of benefits when it's time to deliver. Also hoping to meet some new friends who are also pregnant.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: So tired of looking up the safety of various foods or products and reading "there is no evidence that this will hurt, however it MAY do this or MIGHT possibly be linked to this, so if you really want to be on the safe side, don't eat it."
Questions? Nope
GTKY- Anyone have any vacations planned before your little one arrives?! Nothing planned yet, but I'd really like to take one. Not sure if it's wise to use up all of our PTO, though.
