  • How far along are you? 6+1

    Any appointments this week? How did it go?  No. 12/26 can't come soon enough!

    Rants/raves? Nothing really special going on... just trying to make it through this week and not go insane with my impatience! Also, I'm super excited for Christmas!

    Questions for FTM, or STM+?  Is tailbone pain a thing for this early in pregnancy? I sat on the floor for like 15 minutes 6 days ago and my tailbone hurts when I walk and bend down. I just can't imagine it's on from sitting for such a short period. 

    GTKY: How many grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. will LO have?  
    4 grandparents 
    5 aunts 
    4 uncles
    3 cousins

    and more cousins in the future! haha

    Any appointments this week? How did it go? None until after Christmas

    Rants/raves? Yesterday my appetite was down so I hardly ate and nothing seemed appealing. I think today is starting off the same. But still hoping these symptoms are a better sign than last time. It was around this point last time that I started spotting and had a miscarriage. My MS seems to be mostly at night. 

    Questions for FTM, or STM+? None yet!

    GTKY: How many grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. will LO have? 4 grandparents (2 stepparents, maybe. Both my parents are engaged but not looking towards marriage.) 3 uncles and 3 aunts. No cousins! This will be the first baby in the family
  • How far along are you? 7 weeks. 

    Any appointments this week? How did it go?  I had one yesterday and it bumped my due date up by 2 weeks. They saw the heartbeat and told me everything looked awesome. I was so happy! 

    Rants/raves?  Its Christmas! I'm on vacation and I just can't wait for Christmas. Also my dog can't wait either and keeps trying to open the presents. 

    Questions for FTM, or STM+?  Nope

    GTKY: How many grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. will LO have? 
    4 grandparents 
    1 aunt
    1 uncle 
    and not sure what they would be but each of my cousins have 1 kid, so a distantly related cousin. This will be the first grand baby on both sides!

  • @letsmakebabynmbr1 I am with you on making job decisions. I had a dream that I had to change totally within my current job and that made it easy to leave... in the dream.

  • @NYTino24 I just realized it made it look like the pregnancy was making us do a big job change! That's not really the case lol. I've been interviewing for the past months for places to go after I finish residency, but we are hoping to decide relatively soon in the next month or so. Even before the positive pregnancy test, since we were trying to get pregnant, I was hoping to have a baby before my next job starts and therefore was keeping that in mind when deciding :) we will be moving away from our hometown, which stinks for family/friend support, but we plan to still be within an hour and a half, so that's good!

  • @erindippity I have tailbone pain! I get it from standing, sitting, or walking too much at one time.  Which stinks because I stand and walk a ton at my job haha. I've had to make a point to intermittently go back to sit at my desk and relax. 
  • @NYTino24 sensitive gums are very typical with pregnancies. I always get sensitive/bloody gums during my pregnancies.  I hadn't even gotten my BFP yet and had a dental checkup and the hygienist commented on how much my gums were bleeding during the cleaning. Dental care is VERY important during pregnancy (don't skip dental checkups). Over had friends whose mouths got so bad and developed cavities during pregnancy. Another wonderful things about pure hormones during this time.

  • @mokay19 mine is the opposite, I was sitting on the floor wrapping gifts and literally thought something was injured it hurt so bad. It hadn't hurt the last day or so, but I've avoided sitting on the floor again  :#
  • @bumpybump I have to go 3-4 times a year due to sensitive gums anyway. I went about two weeks before getting KU. Not going again until April! They mentioned I was bleeding a lot then. I often do with brushing and apple eating...haha! This was the first spontaneous one.
