Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: excited to have reached 8w, I can't wait for my appt at the end of this month.

GTKY- what's your least favorite chore to do around the house? I despise doing laundry!! Which I'm sure won't matter once the baby is here since I'll be doing it a lot then.
How are you feeling? Woke up this morning feeling really good. No m/s for the first time in two weeks.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: My first appointment is tomorrow! I can't wait! I want a picture of the baby and just confirmation that everything is okay. I'm so glad this day is finally here!

GTKY- what's your least favorite chore to do around the house?
I really dislike mopping and vacuuming even though afterwards I feel like that's what makes the house feel really clean.
How are you feeling? Sore boobs, but other than that pretty good.

Questions?
GTKY- what's your least favorite chore to do around the house? I HATE doing the dishes. Luckily DH and I hate different chores so we work really well as a team in that aspect. He doesn't mind doing dishes, but hates laundry which I don't mind doing. It works.

How are you feeling?
Amazing!! A bit tired but, I get up at 3:30am for work 3-4 times a week so it's more that than anything else.
Rant/Rave?
I need to kick my exercise routine back into gear. I stopped my yoga practice once I found out I was PG and I feel much more sluggish but, we just joined a new gym right by our building so hopefully that will help!
Questions?
Has anyone's bump popped yet?! I'm dying to actually look pregnant and not just chunky lol
Least favorite chore? Pretty much kitchen duties in general. I need to get better about cleaning as I go while making supper.
How are you feeling?
Good nausea seems to have completely subsided and has been replaced by a whole lot of light headedness! I'm ok with that swap;)
Doing anything baby related today?
Bumping and am going to a play later in with a good friend. I'm looking forward to telling her as I feel like I avoided a lot of her invites out over Christmas and she'll now realise why.
Rant/raves and positive vibes?
I no longer look like death! Don't think the glow is here yet but I'm back to looking like a normal healthy human being!
Questions?
GTKY- what's your least favourite chore to do around the house?
Vacuuming and the bins, the bins are his job! He hates changing beds so that's our trade off:)

How are you feeling?
Pretty good right now. Each day is a surprise.
Doing anything baby related today?
Not today.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I feel like it's taking forever for my appointment to get here.While I am not really worried at this point, Im so ready to see/hear babys heartbeat for a little peace of mind.
Questions?
GTKY- What's your least favorite chore to do around the house? Dishes! Getting a dishwasher is at the top of my priority list. Not having one for over a year is killing me slowly.
How are you feeling? Not as nauseous. My bbs feel HEAVY
Doing anything baby related today? Pinning nurseries
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: i am really frustrated with my current job, I was hanging in there knowing that nursing school is around the corner, but DH and I think it would be wait a bit on nursing school. I applied for a different position internally that I think I'm a shoe in for, but interviews aren't for a few weeks. I was really hoping to have it lined up before I denied the nursing school acceptance.
Questions? Anyone else get really bad muscle cramps in their abdomin when the roll over or move to fast? I went to roll over in bed this morning and felt like I pulled something!
GTKY- what's your least favorite chore to do around the house? I'm cool with washing clothes, but hate putting them away, as does DH. So we end up with piles of clean clothes everywhere.

Tired and once in a while kinda sick but feeling better than I was a 2-3 weeks ago! Let's hope it stays!
Doing anything baby related?
Nope, but super excited for the next appt weds!
Rant/rave/positive vibes:
Havent told my Zumba classes yet that I'm pregnant...I'm waiting a little longer. I definitely don't feel as lean and mean as I was 8-9 weeks ago so I can't wait to tell them, hey I swear I didn't let the holidays get the best of me! Haha
Least favorite chore:
I hate putting AWAY the laundry. I'll wash it. I'll fold it. But when it comes to putting it away...it takes everything to put it all away!
How are you feeling? Pretty good
Doing anything baby related today? Just scheduled my NT scan!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Happy for a 3-day weekend!
Questions?
GTKY- what's your least favorite chore to do around the house?
Normally I'd say cleaning the shower, but lately it's been putting laundry away just because it always seems to be done just after a nap or when I'm tired and groggy.

How are you feeling?
Woke up feeling pretty good today. Finally.
Doing anything baby related today?
Not this baby related. My first dd turns 3 on the 22nd and my second dd turns 1 on the 24th so I'll be in party planning mode.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Haven't gained any wait yet so I'm super happy about that.
Questions?
GTKY- what's your least favorite chore to do around the house?
Laundry for sure... I don't mind the washing and drying.. It's the folding and putting away that I hate.
How are you feeling? Really good! My breast soreness is gone along with the nausea. My only symptom now is being tired, and acne!
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I had an ultrasound at 8w4d and the baby's heart rate was 178.. I am so thrilled. Especially since I lost most of my symptoms.. I was so worried! I guess symptoms really don't mean much.
Questions? Not today!
GTKY- what's your least favorite chore to do around the house? Cleaning toilets.. Yuck!!
How are you feeling? Real good the past couple days. The nausea has let up and the fatigue during the day isn't as bad.

How are you feeling? Tired and a little nauseous this morning
Doing anything baby related today? First doctor's appointment!

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Nope

5 weeks, 5 days. 2nd ultrasound to confirm two heartbeats is Monday morning. It's going to be a long weekend.
How are you feeling?
The sore boobs have disappeared, I rarely have any queasiness, and I'm not even as tired as I was the first week. It's freaking me out but I'm staying calm and talking to my two little embryos as if everything is totally on track.
Doing anything baby related today?
Just bump in'
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
My two year old had a fever at school Thursday so he had to be picked up early and he's banned for 24 hours. Usually not a big deal but he also has off school Monday for MLK day. I love having him home but he loves the structure of school. It's going to be a loooong weekend (see first question).
Questions?
GTKY- what's your least favorite chore to do around the house?
Cleaning out the fridge and organizing / debulking clutter. I know that's too things but oh well.

Yay three day weekend!
Questions?
GTKY- what's your least favorite chore to do around the house?
Putting laundry away or cleaning the bathroom!
How are you feeling? Nauseous and exhausted
Doing anything baby related today? Just bumpin
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I was really excited when I realized Monday was MLK Day.....and then I realized I'm not a kid in school or a teacher...so I don't actually get the day off. Disappointment
Questions? Nope
GTKY- what's your least favorite chore to do around the house? Putting the laundry away is the worst...doing the laundry is fine, I just can never find the patience to put it away
How are you feeling? Actually, pretty good! I'm feeling like my symptoms of exhaustion and nausea are really lightening up.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope, nothing but bumping!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm slightly worried by my symptoms easing up. I know it's totally normal and expected as I near the end of the first trimester, but I can't help but wonder if everything is still developing okay. My next appointment is still almost 2 weeks away and it can't come soon enough!
Questions?
GTKY- what's your least favorite chore to do around the house?
Washing dishes. I'm so grateful that DH usually takes over this chore, or at the very least we do them together.
How are you feeling? Incredibly nauseous and exhausted
Doing anything baby related today? Trying to sort out DS #1's toys to filter out any remaining baby toys so they can be cleaned and prepped for baby #2.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Although the cranky receptionist at my new OB said I wouldn't get an ultrasound, the new nurse gave me one anyway. It was just a shadow of a gummy bear as she wasn't an official Ultrasound tech, but it still gave the "this is real" moment, which I really needed with this pregnancy.
Questions? Any GD mammas on baby #2? Once I'm out of the barfing phase of this pregnancy, I'd really like to focus on getting a GD diet going earlier than the 25 week mark, to prevent another linebacker sized baby and the corresponding complications that happen from that.
GTKY- what's your least favorite chore to do around the house? Folding Laundry. My god it never ends.
How are you feeling? Super excited to be 8 weeks tomorrow! This week I've mostly felt normal but had some bouts of nausea and fatigue. Last night at pilates had my first experience trying a move and then having to say "nope!" and sit that one out. A deep lunge thing that seemed to tug on the round ligaments, it was not pleasant!
Doing anything baby related today? Just bumpin' when I should be workin.'
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: My coworker has a friend who is about my size and had her last kid a few years ago, so she sent me a huge box of hand me down maternity clothes! And I think most of them will fit/work for me (that depends on how my body changes, but for now they seem good). So that saved me some money!
Questions? Should I not expect to hear a heartbeat at my first appointment? It will be at 9w3d. I thought we would but I've seen some posts around here that suggest we might not.
GTKY- what's your least favorite chore to do around the house? Cleaning the shower! It's the worst. I always end up drenched because to rinse off the walls I have to splash water up higher than the shower head will reach.
How are you feeling? Just get gaggy if I hadn't eaten in a while. Boobs aren't as bad anymore. Fatigue is the worst still.
Doing anything baby related today? Just The Bump and other apps.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Decided I had to switch doctors because my current one is 45min-1hr drive away. I just slowly moved away from them over the years. Anxious about changing...but I'm sure it will be fine. I'll have my first appointment with her on Feb 8th.
Questions? Anyone else ever have a doctor suspect some placenta separation? My doctor said there could be since there is blood or flood in between my placenta and uterine wall. He didn't seem concerned at all. But can't help but worry. I think since baby still small it may be okay and could repair itself.
GTKY- what's your least favorite chore to do around the house? Putting up clothes once they are dried. Ugh. I hate doing that. I'll put them on hangers and lay them out over the couch then they just get left there. Haha.

Surprise Pregnancy #3; BFP: 01.11.2020; Due Date: September 19, 2021
Hemorrhage with my first pregnancy, identified at the fertility clinic at my 7 week scan. They put me on modified bed rest and monitored it closely. It never resolved but it did stabilize. Surprisingly they were still able to visualize it at the 12 week scan. I ultimately ended up with complete placenta previa that I think was partially caused by it.

How are you feeling? Actually feeling much better, which of course worries me. I get nauseous every now and then but it's better. And I'm not feeling as tired. I hope it's normal for this to start happening at this stage of pregnancy.
Doing anything baby related today? Just this.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: pretty much covered it in the how are you feeling section. Just worried something may be wrong.
Questions? Any one else start feeling better this early in pregnancy? I know pregnancy symptoms come and go so that may be all this is and I'll be puking again tomorrow.
GTKY- what's your least favorite chore to do around the house? Cleaning the bathrooms. That's why I make DH do that.
How are you feeling? Not bad! I have had diarrhea (tmi) for 4 days, but that seems to be the norm with this pregnancy. I had it the whole week before I tested to find out I was pregnant and now it's back.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope... Other than buying bananas and Oreos later to feed the baby
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Telling my boss on Monday.. it takes her for-e-ver to do anything, so she's going to need all the time she can get to find a part time person to assist in my classroom while I'm gone. That means I have to call my grandmas Sunday night bc once work knows, I fear my grandmas will find out from someone via fb.
Questions?
GTKY- what's your least favorite chore to do around the house? Dishes... They are so gross...
Edit to say: I didn't here the hb with DS until my second appointment at 10w 6d. They couldn't find it so I got an u/s. Otherwise, I don't get u/s until 20w.
How are you feeling? I've have severe morning sickness since week 8. Medication makes it tolerable, but I'm still not feeling very well.
Doing anything baby related today? The Bump.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Rave: I got my snoogle pillow yesterday and last night was the best sleep I've gotten in quite some time! Rant: I am mentally exhausted with trying to hold it together at work while feeling so sick. I'm ready for this work week to be over.
Questions? None right now.
