Re: Friday Ticker Change
2) How are you feeling? Fantastic. Part of me is hoping symptoms start soon, part of me thinks I'm crazy for wanting to feel sick.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? My third beta is Monday, and then they'll schedule the U/S for a couple weeks from now!
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Happy it's Friday. I had some drama last night with a classmate (I'm getting my masters in writing) and it took everything I had not to respond to her incredibly nasty text message with anything but "lol." I'm still shaking about it but I'm glad I didn't engage.
5) GTKY: What has you the most excited about this pregnancy? I can't wait to feel my little pumpkin move! And see how incredible DH is going to be as a daddy. He is so excited already, it's making me love him even more
5 weeks today!
2) How are you feeling?
I'm tired. So so tired. My boobs are absolutely killing me - I have to wear a sports bra at night or my sore breasts wake me up! Waves of nausea when I haven't eaten in awhile, but no throwing up yet. Some Round Ligament Pain, hot flashes and a little moody!
3) Any appointments or tests this week?
First "phone interview" appointment with my Midwives nurse is next Thursday!
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
DH has been amazing, stepping up and taking over bedtime for DD every night (we used to take turns), because I'm so exhausted.
5) GTKY: What has you the most excited about this pregnancy?
I'm most excited for DD to be a big sister! So many of her friends have had siblings come along in the last 6 months that she's been asking for a sister or brother. We told her mommy has a baby in her belly this morning - she's so excited! This journey maybe harder than last time because I have an almost 3 year old to keep up with, but I can't wait for her to love on my belly as baby grows!
Happy Friday Mamas!
Edited: Because grammar is hard on Friday morning ...
2) How are you feeling? Generally okay. I can't seem to sleep past 6 AM anymore, but by around 3:00 PM, I'm exhausted. I'm also getting the hot flashes at night. My boobs are a little sore, which I'm sure isn't helped by me constantly touching them to make sure they're still store.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Had my third beta draw on Tuesday which appropriately rose, so no more betas for now. That makes me a little antsy because my first ultrasound isn't for 2 more weeks, so I might request a couple betas in between now and then just to make sure things are still progressing.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? For those beta testing, after how many will your doctor stop doing them? Rave: it's the weekend early for me and we're going bridesmaid dress shopping for my sister's wedding!
5) GTKY: What has you the most excited about this pregnancy? Honestly nothing right now ... PGAL brain will do that to you. I'm trying not to let myself get too excited for fear it won't work out, but I've been allowing myself to celebrate the little milestones. I still have a few weeks before I hit my loss milestone, so until and after that, I'm sure I'm going to be mostly guarded. I'm sure the doctor's office all thinks I'm an ice queen!

@sdarling2010 I hear you on the exhaustion - it is real. I'm sure even more so for you with a little one! Glad your DH has been helpful. Good luck with your phone interview appointment!

2) How are you feeling? So tired that I feel useless. I fall asleep around 9 and wake up at 6am on the dot, wide awake. Then I'm tired all day and lie in bed for 1-2 hours mid-day. I'm very hungry, and if I see food then I must have it. My husband's like, "Do you want to go get thai?" And respond, "Sure, I guess that- OH MY GOD THAI FOOD I NEED IT NOW. NOW!!!" My only food aversion so far is red onion.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? No
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? **TW** Just hoping to get through till 6w3d, which was my loss date last time around **End TW
5) GTKY: What has you the most excited about this pregnancy?
Feeling it move. Only then will I be able to actually believe in this one.
It's been a long road- Let's just say that!
Three weeks today.
2) How are you feeling?
Great! The only issue I have is extremely painful breast. No fatigue, no cravings. I'm still enjoying going to the gym. I better prepare for the soon to come fatigue.
3) Any appointments or tests this week?
None. I don't see my midwife until March 7th.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Does anyone have a great recommendation for a sport bra that's comfortable and provides support?
5) GTKY: What has you the most excited about this pregnancy?
I'm very excited for DS to be a big brother.
@kitty4scott I got some good sport/sleeping bras at Motherhood Maternity during my pregnancy with DD. They are amazing and help me get through the night. They also have the nursing bra clips - loved them after DD was born. Right now I'm just wearing a regular sports bra during the day if I need it.
@laeberge3 Yay for good betas! I don't blame you for the extra betas. I have been peeing on all the sticks to reassure myself. My third beta is Monday and I'm sure I'll go into withdrawal before my first u/s,
Thanks for the bra recommendations ladies. Now, does anyone have good legging/yoga pants recommendations that won't break the bank too much? I live in South Florida so haven't really had need of them before, but lately I am craving comfy pants and jeans just don't cut it.
2) How are you feeling? Meh, overly emotional. No other symptoms. No soreness, no more tired than any other day. of course all of this is stressing me out that there's something wrong but i had no symptoms last pregnancy either.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Nope! I dont see the doc till the 22nd. I took one of the ClearBlue tests with weeks estimator today and it gave me 3+ weeks so that's a little reassuring that my hormones are increasing
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? It's not mature but i miss wine already. I figured a second pregnancy would be easier since i'm busier than the first time around but toddlers have a way of making you wish you had wine.
5) GTKY: What has you the most excited about this pregnancy? Feeling kicks again + finding out if DD will get a little brother or little sister
2) How are you feeling? Feeling great- had the day off and was able to rest! Also, not really feeling any pregnancy symptoms. . . They have disappeared and it's starting to worry me a bit.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? No appointments until week 10 with my doctor! I am jealous of all you mamas who get in to do tests so early.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
5) GTKY: What has you the most excited about this pregnancy? Choosing a name. Is that strange? This is baby #2 and I've already narrowed the list down to three. Husband thinks I'm crazy.
More common in second trimester, but I keep feeling it anyway! So much growing and stretching happening inside
2) I have some breast tenderness but afraid it's just the progesterone. Some cramping and very light nausea that only hits when I'm hungry or have eaten too much. Getting up to pee at 3am and very tired
3) No appointments this week
2) How are you feeling? OK, just extremely tired. I'm taking so many naps, I feel lazy!
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Nope, My first appointment is March 1st.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
5) GTKY: What has you the most excited about this pregnancy? Starting our own little family; with this being our first, I just want everything to be perfect! I can't wait til I'm actually showing... (I think that sounds weird, but it's true! Lol)
1) How many weeks are you? 5 weeks!
2) How are you feeling? Tired and super bloated.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Nope.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Went to the store and pick out a few things for the baby! I know it's early but we needed to get it out of our system.
5) GTKY: What has you the most excited about this pregnancy? Buying baby stuff!
