2. An Apple. Or cinnamon roll. Though cinnamon rolls are pretty relative.
3. Wednesday--regular check in. Heartbeat, weight, pee in a cup. But will be scheduling my gender and anatomy scan, hopefully for just before thanksgiving.
4. Some crazy lightning crotch. Gas/bloating. Tired. Peeing a lot.
5. I'm dying to know gender now. I didn't get any other testing done because I figured I could wait, but hearing from many of you on gender I'm sure the next four weeks will kill me. Haha.
Also: Ok so I know it's early for a FTM but I really wanna be excited and hopeful so I'm sharing anyway: Saturday night I felt little flutters down where baby has been last couple times I used my Doppler. Felt like tiny bubbles popping. Felt it again the next morning but nothing last night. I don't know if it's gas or baby but I can't wait to feel baby for sure!
6. From DH: focus and work ethic. From me: ravenous love of learning. Though if we're talking physical traits: teeth from DH, metabolism from me.
4. Still some nausea, though it's lifting. Exhaustion.
5. Rave: prenatal yoga is so lovely. I forgot how much I loved it. The teacher I'm taking classes with during this pregnancy is so much better that prior prenatal yoga teachers from my past pregnancies. Sunday's have become my favorite day of the week and I feel so much more centered after my morning practice.
6. Physical- DH's curls, perfectly straight teeth and freckles. My lips. Personality- DH's loyalty. My perseverance.
How big is baby? supposedly oragne sized.. but big orange or small orange???
Appointments this week? 2 actually -today a random ad hoc doppler, and thursday a full midwife checkup.
Symptoms? Headache. Nothing else much.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I love love love love my consultant, she is the best doctor in the world ever ever. Today she phoned in from her holiday just to instruct midwives to doppler me as they didnt want to.. and it wasnt even at the hospital she works at. She is amazing.
GTKY: (Borrowed from anothre BMB) What is a trait from your SO that you hope your LO inherits? One from you? one from DH: easygoing, laid back, chilled (that is the total opposite of me.. hope he takes after him!!) . Physical: oo he is handsome. But if just one thing then maybe his smile. Or hair. From me: physically, my eyes (blue). personality-wise: loyalty
Me: 35 year old FTM, a busy city banker living in London, and a constant worrier. My DH: French guy, car fanatic, best husband ever. Our baby boy: Due on 17 April, currently 37 weeks. I can't believe it - I made it to full term!!!! Last measurement: 3150 gs at 37+1! This is going to be a big baby
Rave: We finally announced to my husband's family. They're ecstatic. It was wonderful to have them share in our excitement. Rant: My in-laws are even bigger worriers than I am and are upset that I'm hunting with my husband this season. Now if I miscarry again, it's likely they'll think it's my fault for taking long walks in the woods while carrying a rifle.
Traits: From DH - height & metabolism (biologic), ingenuity (personality); from me - dimples (biologic), resilience (personality)
How far along are you? 17 Weeks (that just kind of hit me)
How big is baby? Pomegranate
Appointments this week? Wednesday, just a quick check in with my OB
Symptoms? Sore back, still gagging while brushing teeth, nose bleeds ALL.THE.TIME.
Rant/Rave/Questions? can't think of anything right now
GTKY: (Borrowed from anothre BMB) What is a trait from your SO that you hope your LO inherits? One from you? DH - height, amazing voice. ME - the brains lol and general health.
Appointments this week? Not till the 18th of November. I'm going to go crazy!
Symptoms? Not much still. Besides aches and pains. Some RLP
Rant/Rave/Questions? Ugh when will i start showing? I think I look exactly the same. I don't feel pregnant. I just want some indication!
GTKY: (Borrowed from anothre BMB) What is a trait from your SO that you hope your LO inherits? One from you? His calmness, my chillness (if that's not the same?) His eyes, my hair.
Rant(ish): DH left for a week long business trip today and I've been a flippin' mess! We have never spent a night apart in the last 8 years. I know "normal" me would be sad, miss him, MAYBE cry when he left, then be strong. Pregnant me CANT.STOP.CRYING! I was late to work because I couldn't leave him this morning, I cried like 5 times at work, cried on the way home, cried when I got home, then I got a message from him from his layover a little bit later of a video he made and bawled my eyes out, still can't stop crying. I seriously feel like something is wrong with me. Is this my hormonal self in overdrive or should I seriously be worried?? I'm hopeful it gets easier! Rave: My belly is starting to show! Question: mixed in with my rant!
GTKY: (Borrowed from another BMB) What is a trait from your SO that you hope your LO inherits? One from you? From SO: his eyes, his loyalty to people that matter to him, fun silly side From me: my determination, empathetic side, organization
Appointments this week? Check up on Saturday. I just received my NT results today and everything looks good!!
Symptoms? Round ligament pain, ow! Nausea is starting to fade I think (for now at least). I feel less fatigued which is nice. I am starting to break out like crazy though ughhhhh.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Nothing that I can think of!
GTKY: (Borrowed from anothre BMB) What is a trait from your SO that you hope your LO inherits? One from you? From my SO: His entire temperament, he's such a kind soul. His mom said he was such a quiet and well behaved angel baby. His selflessness, his work ethic, his eyes, etc. I could go on and on, I hope our baby is so much like him From myself: My determination and my hair, that's it. I wasn't a very well behaved child, so the prospect of a mini me is terrifying haha
@Nolegirl1185, I feel you on the emotional mess when the hubby is gone! My husband is usually gone once a year for a guy's camping trip for 3-5 days. I bawl like crazy everytime I think about it the few days leading up to it and then when he's getting ready to leave I hold strong til he's out the door and then am a sobbing mess! Pregnant or not!
Appointments this week? Nope - none until mid November
Symptoms? Just when I think the food aversion is going away it hits me again - could be worse though! Round ligament pain is no joke - I swear I never had this with DS - ouch!
Rant/Rave/Questions? Just pumped to have passed the glucose screening last week! Starting to clean out the soon to be nursery and constantly yelling at myself for being such a packrat! Seriously - it's ridiculous.
GTKY: (Borrowed from anothre BMB) What is a trait from your SO that you hope your LO inherits? One from you? From DH, I hope she gets his calm nature. He's so level headed and calm even in the craziest of times. From me, I hope she is as outgoing as I am.
I'll still dealing with nausea. I've actually puked more often this past week. I hope this settles down soon.
I do keep thinking I am feeling baby from time to time. I can't wait until I feel baby more often. We have our early gender ultrasound next Wednesday.
This is tough. I hope our baby has my DH's complexion and worry free attitude. I also hope baby gets my initiative and eyes. Is it weird to say, I hope we get a lefty?? DH and I are both lefties. Our DS seems to be a righty and for some reason it makes me a little sad.
Appointments this week? 16 Week checkup today, we got to hear the heartbeat for the first time.
Symptoms? I feel pretty good, though I still get sick in the morning a few times a week.
Rant/Rave/Questions? The doc isn't as concerned about my weight loss (about 11 lbs total) , which is good- though I've enjoyed indulging in ice cream to pack on a few pounds.
GTKY: What is a trait from your SO that you hope your LO inherits? One from you?
I hope the little one inherits my husbands intelligence, drive, and straight teeth, and my dimples.
@mylittleirvz that makes me feel better lol...once I got past Monday and into Tuesday I was so much better. The students and I had a field trip which kept me occupied and when I got home I held it together, only cried for a pre recorded video he made me haha. Then today I cried over a person giving a dog CPR that brought the dog back to life. Still tears - but not like the weekend or Monday!!
