BigBadWolf12 · March 2017

How far along are you? Singleton, multiples? other kids? 13+4 singleton

When is your next appointment? April 24 at 18+1 for the anatomy scan (I cannot wait for this answer to finally change!)

Cravings/Symptoms? not too much...

Rants/Raves/Randoms? meh, things are ok. I was just thinking earlier today though that despite my gut that's starting to harden and stick out more than it has in the past and despite being tired, breathing heavy (I thought I was crazy until my app gave me a legit reason for this!), and having food aversions, I just don't feel pregnant and still cannot imagine actually having a live baby in September. It's weird. I hope that it gets through soon...

Questions? none now

pregnancy GTKY: other than you and DH, who is the most excited about this LO? my mom for sure.

NBR GTKY: Sweet or salty? normally sweet, but since getting KU, I've been leaning more towards salty...

ChefRamsay · March 2017

@BigBadWolf12 you posted this at 1pm my time, so not late at all

and I definitely feel you on it being hard to picture actually bringing home a baby in September. I'm hoping once I actually start getting our house ready for baby it will feel more real!

How far along are you? Singleton, multiples? other kids?
13+6 single, 11yo DD
When is your next appointment?
April 6th for my high risk tests
Cravings/Symptoms?
Umm I ate 4 sandwiches yesterday lol. That's not too unusual though, I could eat sandwiches all day every day.
Rants/Raves/Randoms?
We finally told everyone! I still have to call my grandparents in CA and my H has to tell his boss, but everyone else got the news over the weekend.
Questions?
Nope
pregnancy GTKY: other than you and DH, who is the most excited about this LO?
Probably my SIL. She screamed, attack hugged us and started crying when we told her this weekend. She is kinda obsessed with babies though lol. She has 7 kids and is a doula/lactation consultant and is training to become a midwife.
NBR GTKY: Sweet or salty?
Both! Hello chocolate covered pretzels.

@BigBadWolf12 I know, I can't believe we will have babies in September! It's so crazy to think about.

How far along are you? Singleton, multiples? other kids? 16+1!

When is your next appointment? Tomorrow! Just a pee/doppler/BP check

Cravings/Symptoms? I'm getting heartburn something bad! Bloat and fatigue is still plaguing me. Where is the amazing 2nd tri feeling? I'm exhausted all the time. Headaches..

Rants/Raves/Randoms? I'm so glad to know baby is a girl! I have completed my newborn cloth diaper supply too!

Questions? Not really! Just want to do my anatomy scan soon!

pregnancy GTKY: other than you and DH, who is the most excited about this LO?
I think my BFF! She is so so excited. More so than my mom. My mom almost seems like... oh, my little girl is pregnant, and I don't like this.

NBR GTKY: Sweet or salty? both!! Usually salty though.

mrsvp614 · March 2017

How far along are you? Singleton, multiples? other kids? 17+1, singleton, FTM

When is your next appointment? Had a basic appt Tuesday, next is A/S on April 21. We're team green, but excited to see little one again!

Cravings/Symptoms? I really want pizza tonight. Symptoms: Feeling more stretching pulling in my uterus, and sweet little flutters every now and then!

Rants/Raves/Randoms? Rant: DH is freaking out about finances, worried he won't be able to provide for baby. We will be just fine. He's just such a worrier and it's hard for me to convince him that it'll be okay.
Rave: Going shopping for maternity clothes today and seeing friends from college Saturday.

Questions? Who will be there when you give birth? I think it'll just be DH for me, but I'm debating on my mom as well. She's in the medical field, which I think could help, but also possibly be a distraction or annoying.

pregnancy GTKY: other than you and DH, who is the most excited about this LO? Prob MIL. My parents are def excited, it's the first grandchild for both our parents, but MIL is very excited.

NBR GTKY: Sweet or salty? I'm a pineapple pizza kind of person, so I like both. But I have a sweet tooth, for sure. Always want something for dessert.

14+5, singleton (baby girl), 3yo DS

When is your next appointment?
4/20 normal monthly check! A/S the following week, woohoo!

Cravings/Symptoms?
the vomiting is ramping up which seems off since I'm 2nd tri. But whatever I'm not nauseous just vomitting in the a.m.

Rants/Raves/Randoms?
i have the biggest shit bags in my family.... sooo there's that! But rave is excited and terrified for a baby girl!

Questions
nope...

pregnancy GTKY: other than you and DH, who is the most excited about this LO?
My DS! He so badly wants "his baby" to arrive.

NBR GTKY: Sweet or salty?
ohhh my non pregnant self loves all things. So both!

dogdisnylovr · March 2017

How far along are you? Singleton, multiples? other kids? 13w5d, this is always a hard question for me to answer. My pregnancy started as twins, but one didn't develop past 6w. So really just one, but sometimes I have a hard time saying just one. 3 step-kids, 11, 9, 9

When is your next appointment? Today at 2:00pm to check blood pressure. Then the next one should be 4/10 for my glucose test.

Cravings/Symptoms? I have discovered that I can't eat meat in the evenings. All week my dinners have consisted of bread, cheese and cereal. Probably need to add some veggies in there but they sound awful in the evening.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? We announced on FB Monday so now it's all out in the open and I can finally talk about it without whispering to a select few at work.

Questions? Has everyone started a registry yet? I feel like it's still too early but don't want to be behind either.

pregnancy GTKY: other than you and DH, who is the most excited about this LO? MIL. When we told her she screamed and hugged us. I had to tell her to be quiet. Now that it's out, when I see her all she talks about is how I am carrying her grandchild. It's not her first... It heartwarming and annoying at the same time.

NBR GTKY: Sweet or salty? Before I got pregnant I had a huge sweet tooth. Now, I barely eat any sugar. I bought 11 boxes of girl scout cookies about a month ago. 7 of them are still sitting in my cabinet. I ate 1, husband and kids ate the rest. This would have never happened if I wasn't pregnant!

@cheframsay YESSSS....I was dipping pretzel sticks straight into my jar of nutella the other day. FFFC: this is not a habit I developed during pregnancy.....

ColoradoHiker · March 2017

How far along are you? Singleton, multiples? other kids? 16w, Single, DS is 16m and in full toddler mode.

When is your next appointment? Monday. Early GD test and 16w appt.

Cravings/Symptoms? My aching old lady back. I don't remember this with DS, but holy heck it's painful. My abs really hurt, too. Nausea is still coming and going. I'm still losing a little bit of weight, but thankfully not much. I didn't start gaining with DS until later in second tri, so it is normal for me, I guess. But I'd rather eat, let's be honest.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? I'm pretty happy today.

Questions?

pregnancy GTKY: other than you and DH, who is the most excited about this LO? Good question. Probably my parents/ in-laws. Nobody else cares after your first one, haha.

NBR GTKY: Sweet or salty? SWEET. And the nausea makes me sad, bc I really don't want sugar in big doses anymore. DH loves salty, we're an amazing combination.

@MrsVP614 I just had to ride the elevator with a pizza delivery guy....ugh, I want pizza so bad... and not healthy pizza....PEPPERONI AND CHEESE lol
To answer your question: I'm planning on just DH. But we also have no family in Sweden, so I don't have to consider much lol. If my mom is here at that time, mayyyyybe her, but I personally wouldn't even consider it if she wouldn't be alone in the waiting room just because I'm private with my body lol. DH and health professionals, sure, but anyone else I get squeamish. That might have to change.....

@dogdisnylovr I have a small glimpse of what you mean, but only on the "other kids" part because of my loss, so I just ignore that part of the question. for yours, unfortunately you can't just avoid the question... I can probably just remove the singleton/multiples/other kids part to the question now since we know where everyone stands. Someone requested it in at the beginning, but I think we're probably far enough along that I can take it out. Sorry to cause you extra pain

In terms of a registry, I haven't started one, but I probably won't....we live overseas, so I'm hoping people just give nothing or money since we have limited suitcase space in the summer and our friends here wouldn't be getting any big ticket items of things that we would have picked out specifically anyways....hopefully someone else will be more help!

dogdisnylovr · March 2017

@BigBadWolf12 No worries. It's just strange to answer the question. We've accepted it now, but still sometimes in my head there are two babies since it will stay in there until I give birth.

dogdisnylovr · March 2017

@MrsVP614 I plan on only DH in the room with me. I'm pretty private, but the thought of my mom or sister in there as well (not both) may give me comfort. We will just have to see how it goes. I know I do not want my MIL in there and she will be the only knocking on the door.

Sugargirl1019 · March 2017

@dogdisnylovr I am sorry to hear of your loss! I totally understand why it is complicated to answer that question. Like, yes I'm happy about this baby growing in me, but I'm still sad and miss the other baby that was there.
