Re: First Time Mom Check In - 9/13

  • 1. When is your EDD/how far along? 4/7/17 - 10w4d 

    2. Any appointments this week? None this week. 

    3. Symptoms? I threw up for the first time after I was brushing my teeth. I think it was a one time fluke. I'm going to stop take my diclegis and see how I do throughout the day. I'm so exhausted by the end of the day and I've been getting super hungry. Also, the bloat is real. The rumors have started at school. :(

    4. GTKY: Have you started thinking about how you're going to decorate the nursery? 
    I think we're going to paint it gray with accent colors once we find out the sex. I have my eye on a white crib that I love. We're also going to chalk paint my aunt's old French provincial dresser, just can't decide on a color scheme.

  • 1. When is your EDD/how far along? 4/23 8w2d

    2. Any appointments this week? Nope, next appointment is 9/29

    3. Symptoms? Frequent urination, mild nausea, fatigue

    4. GTKY: Have you started thinking about how you're going to decorate the nursery? 
    We painted the room green last year in anticipation of it being a nursery. Furniture will likely be painted gray. Already have the dresser and glider. Navy blue and gray is the color scheme. If it's a girl, we'll add some pink too. For the most part I want everything to be gender neutral so it's easier to reuse everything.

  • 1. When is your EDD/how far along? 
    4/18/17 9W today!

    2. Any appointments this week? 
    First appt is 2 weeks from today at 11 weeks!

    3. Symptoms? 
    Most of my symptoms are gone and I hate it to ne honest. I still have fatigue and a tiny bit of nausea and I gag at certain scents. Peeing still pretty frequently but I miss my sore boobs :/

    4. GTKY: Have you started thinking about how you're going to decorate the nursery? 

    I am a nut and our nursery is done. Its gender neutral and elephant themed. I have collected elephants for years so I am pretty sure this shocks noone.

  • @Holzie that sounds like a smart choice. I would be livid if that happened.

  • 1. When is your EDD/how far along? 
    April 11/10 weeks
    2. Any appointments this week? 
    Just got off the phone with my clinic to schedule my followup.  In a similar boat to Holzie, I'm giving them one last shot before I fire them.  Apparently that shot is in mid-October.  Thankfully the clinic is really good about scheduling tests without an appointment over the phone.
    3. Symptoms? 
    Finally getting over my aversion to meat.  Have successfully eaten chicken a few times this week without dying the next day.
    4. GTKY: Have you started thinking about how you're going to decorate the nursery? 
    In a roundabout way.  We want to finish our attic so that guests can stay upstairs, and then we'll convert the current guest room into a nursery. Partner wants woodland theme, I'm leaning towards Seuss inspired.  We'll see what happens.

  • 1. When is your EDD/how far along? 4/17, 9+3

    2. Any appointments this week? Nope. Two more weeks until next one. 

    3. Symptoms? Late night nausea. Tons of gas and bloat. Aches and pains. Meat aversion. Crankiness/crying. Insomnia. 

    4. GTKY: Have you started thinking about how you're going to decorate the nursery? Like some of you above I'd like light gray with accents. Probably in white. If it's a girl I'd like to do a French provincial thing with storybook accents but if it's a boy it would be probably muted blues with a theme I haven't decided on yet. 
  • 1. When is your EDD/how far along? 
    April 3rd, 11 weeks 3 days
    2. Any appointments this week? 
    I had an appointment Monday to meet my OB, exam, first ultrasound, and blood work.  Went back Tuesday for more blood work because my blood pressure was high. Had to do a 24 hour urine test (if you don't know what that is - you collect your urine in a jug for 24 hours) it was beyond disgusting and I puked EVERY TIME I had to transfer it into the jug.  I'm also a teacher so I had to lug the darn thing around school haha. I went back again today to drop the urine off and do MORE blood work that goes along with the urine, but then told me I didn't need the blood work. I've been poked 3 times this week already lol so I was happy to hear that. 
    3. Symptoms? 
    still exhausted all the time, starting to have ligament pain randomly, nausea and vomiting, but my breasts aren't nearly as tender :)
    4. GTKY: Have you started thinking about how you're going to decorate the nursery? 
    we have already decided on a nautical theme for a boy, but not sure for a girl

  • Omg @Nolegirl1185 I'm a teacher too. I can't imagine bringing that thing to school. You're so brave!!

  • @BluesGal10 Ha! Same! Not crying, but I get so furious so easily! 
    @Nolegirl1185 Oh my gosh! What an ordeal. I'm also a teacher and regular symptoms are hard enough to deal with at work! 
  • 1. When is your EDD/how far along?  4/9 - 11+1

    2. Any appointments this week?  nope, just waiting on blood test results (yay for finding out the gender soon!)

    3. Symptoms? tired, hungry, sore boobs, acne.  Other than that...I feel pretty great, thankfully no sickness.

    4. GTKY: Have you started thinking about how you're going to decorate the nursery?  We painted the nursery 2 different shades of gray last year, knowing it would be the nursery. We are buying 1 big thing a month so it's not all at once.  We have the crib set up and furniture already but the colors will be navy and mint for boy or if its a girl...navy, mint, and purple.
