Re: Saturday Check-in (1/16)
How far along are you? EDD? 6w1d September 9th
How are you feeling? I am pretty blah today...and I have to work.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
R/R/R? I woke up feeling empty and really weird. I also believe the bloat is either gone or me not having an appetite this week made me loose a few pounds. My stomach is super flat and it made me paranoid this morning that I am not really pregnant. Especially since I took my 6week photo yesterday and there was some roundness to the picture.
Questions? Nah
GTKY: How many children did you want when you were a kid versus how many you plan on having now?
When I was a kid I wanted 5 kids! Now I am okay with 2/3 kids at the most. DH is good with one unless we have a girl first then he wants another to try for a son. Men...

How are you feeling? Still pretty nervous. Nauseas on and off but not terrible. Bloated!! And super fatigued. I spent probably 75%of my day yesterday sitting on my butt watching tv and bumping.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope.
R/R/R? I'm shamelessly already wearing a belly band because I already had jeans that didn't fit well and my jeans that do fit are in the wash. We get to wear jeans at work for the rest of this month so I'm wearing my jeans dammit!
Questions? Nope
GTKY: How many children did you want when you were a kid versus how many you plan on having now? I always wanted 4. I wanted a boy first then twins then a girl last. Dh has 2 boys already and with all the trouble we've had I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be done at 1 together.
How are you feeling? Meh. I was just telling DH the only time I feel good(ish) is when I'm in the shower, after I've brushed my teeth or am asleep.
Doing anything baby related today? Working on DD's room so she can move out of the nursery!
R/R/R? How does everyone else feel about brushing teeth now? It's so strange - when I was pregnant with DD brushing my teeth made me gag. Even the flavor of the toothpaste made my stomach turn. This time, I have this awful taste in my mouth all the time. Brushing makes it go away and I temporarily feel better. I've never brushed my teeth so much in my life! (I guess at least my dentist will be happy.)
Questions? Just my random-ness above...
GTKY: How many children did you want when you were a kid versus how many you plan on having now? Ha, I wanted SO MANY kids when I was little. At one point, I was telling people I wanted 7 - all girls that I would name Faith, Hope, Love, Joy, Charity, Harmony and Grace. Blech. Haha. Now we're aiming for 2, maybe 3.
How are you feeling? Hormonal as eff. I was in a great mood, the DH said something that hurt my feelings (not even anything bad) and now I'm in a terrible mood. I'm unmotivated as hell. Besides that I feel physically normal.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope. Just football.
R/R/R? I just feel bad for these mood swings! Then DH blames it on himself.
Questions? Anyone else still not feel pregnant? It's still so scary.
GTKY: How many children did you want when you were a kid versus how many you plan on having now? I wanted like 12! DH wants 4-6. I say let's start with one and see how we feel!
How far along are you? EDD? 6+1, 9/9/2016
How are you feeling? A bit nauseous so I had some breakfast and brushed my teeth to see if it makes it better. I've thrown up my bfast the past couple of days so I hope it stays put today.
Doing anything baby related today? Nah... Still holding out until things get more advanced and more "real"
R/R/R? Ugh... this gas is unbearable. I woke up this morning because of a terrible stomach pain--like writhing in pain terrible. I went to the restroom and nothing happened and suddenly felt like I was going to pass out and puke at the same time so I woke up my husband and lied down. All I can think is that this was because of the pizza I had for dinner last night. I have IBS and it's gotten crazy out of control with pregnancy. I drank some prune juice and slept for a couple of hours. I woke up to--TMI Warning--explosive diarrhea... At least it worked... Ugh. Little by little pregnancy removes the last bits of privacy between you and your husband. But hey, I get a baby out of all this madness!!
Questions? I guess my question is at the beginning... Anyone else change their dental routine with pregnancy? Like, have you switched toothpaste or mouthwash?
GTKY: How many children did you want when you were a kid versus how many you plan on having now? I've always wanted 4 or 5 but lately I'm just thinking we'll see after the first.
How are you feeling? Stressed, sick, overwhelmed, emotional. Everything just feels like too much right now.
Doing anything baby related today? Nothing planned.
R/R/R? I wish I could just hibernate through the rest of this pregnancy or live in la-la land so that everything didn't scare me. Every time I think I have my stress under control, something else rears its ugly head and I start worrying all over again about whatever new thing my brain has decided to latch onto.
Questions? Is 119 BPM too low a heart rate for 6w6d? My doctor didn't say anything about it and the first result on Google suggests that it's fine, but then I'm seeing all sorts of studies saying 119 is borderline (just barely below the cut-off for the normal range) and associated with an increased rate of miscarriage, so now I'm scared. I swear, I just can't have anything good happen (hearing both babies' heartbeats) without something scary coming along with it.
GTKY: How many children did you want when you were a kid versus how many you plan on having now? I always wanted two (I dreamed of a boy and a girl, like me and my brother). I still think I want two, but I'm entertaining the thought of three (DH is pretty much set on two) now that I'm having twins the first time around.
It just makes me sad that I'll have one pregnancy and that'll be it if we stick with two. I envisioned two pregnancies and two babies, although I always have kind of wanted twins.

How are you feeling? Not bad, still having a hard time believing this is real. Don't have my first appointment to even confirm until Friday so hopefully I will settle my nerves then.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Questions? nope
GTKY: How many children did you want when you were a kid versus how many you plan on having now? I always wanted a big family as a kid, I would still have 6 kids but I can not see that happening, unless we end up fostering or adopting later on. We currently have 1 DD.
How are you feeling? Nausea has decided to return after a week and a half hiatus so, in general, like crap unfortunately. Still tired, although not as bad as the last couple of weeks. And hungry.
Doing anything baby related today? Nothing big. Just informed DS and DD that the babies are blueberry-sized now.
R/R/R? I suggested that DH not go to work last night (he works 3rd shift). I just wanted to be with him for a night. He's been working mandatory overtime since May (with the exception of one month) and I miss him so much. So he called in. I have zero guilt, especially considering the company that he works for treats their employees like crap. 3rd shift made sense for our family a year ago...now it just sucks.
Questions? Nope.
GTKY: How many children did you want when you were a kid versus how many you plan on having now?
DH wanted two. I always wanted four. I won. Two pregnancies resulting in four kiddos. I think we'll be done after this set of twins. Unless life has other plans that is.
How are you feeling? Nauseous. So nauseous today. It was my first real experience with morning sickness. Ugh. It was that just let me barf and I'll feel better nausea.
Doing anything baby related today? Just bumpin' and maybe some reading.
R/R/R? I finally finished crocheting my niece's baby blanket! She's almost 2.
Questions? Nope.
GTKY: How many children did you want when you were a kid versus how many you plan on having now? I went back and forth between none and three. I think we have settled on one, maybe two. Well, one for sure.
DH: 31
TTC #1 10/2015
BFP 1/2/2016 -- EDD - 9/11/2016
How far along are you? EDD? 3w5d 9/26
How are you feeling? So scared this will end. I just got my BFP yesterday morning and in the afternoon I started spotting and cramping. My boobs are sore and have been burping like every 3-5m I swear. So now for TMI and question. Three times yesterday afternoon there was a good amount of watery light pink when I wiped then till this afternoon there was still some but only a few very small spots. It has seemed to stop for now. From googling it still seems like a coin flip of normal to CP. I cannot wait to take another test in the morning. The doc said if I was still spotting to come in on Monday for a blood draw. I really want to go in regardless, is that crazy me or reasonable?
Doing anything baby related today?
No, still in the making sure this will stick. We did go shopping and all I wanted to do was look at baby things. I was able to keep myself to only looking once.
R/R/R? Um, see above? Well H has been great and I know he is just as scared.
Questions? Crap, see above. Next check in I'll have shit together I swear.
GTKY: How many children did you want when you were a kid versus how many you plan on having now?
When I was a kid none. I really didn't think much about them till H and I were dating. After a year I knew I wanted them with him.
-6w3d... September 7th.
How are you feeling?
- I had a very productive morning with low nausea but now feel like I over did it and nausea has hit agin full force.
Doing anything baby related today?
- We bought our 4 hear old a new 5-point harness. We were needing to get a more slim car seat for him before baby and it actually helps now because I won't have to pick him up to get him in it. He just climb in and then I can buckle.
R/R/R?
-My ultrasound is in 6 days and after a terrible ultrasound with my 12 week MMC I am a nervous wreck. Hopefully, this week passes quickly and we see perfection on Friday.
Questions?
-nope.
GTKY: How many children did you want when you were a kid versus how many you plan on having now?
-I always wanted 4-6, I come from a big family. Now, after being a mom, I only want 2. ... and it took me a long time to decided I wanted a second! Dh has always wanted 2.
I'm still feeling pretty good just tired but that may be because I'm working nights. I may be getting a hint of nausea which terrifies me based on my last two experiences!
Baby related: I online window shopped cute summer maternity clothes
No rants or questions.
As a child I wanted to have a lot of kids, 5-7. Now we still want a lot of kids, 5-7 ish haha. My husband is one of 5 and he also always wanted at least 5. The good news is we started young (at 22) so I will be able to space the crazy out over about 15 years if I'm lucky enough to conceive when I'm older. I'm also super grateful for the two I have now though and I would be relatively okay if we aren't able to have many more.

R/R/R? Job is pretty stressful right now. I'm likely going to move to a new team in a few weeks. I'll be taking on more responsibilities, and it's good for my career. But I'm definitely a little apprehensive taking it in while pregnant.
