Re: Tuesday Ticker Change 2/28
2. How are you feeling? Still pretty tired.. Nausea only if I don't eat, but have been having some aversions. Also cravings for anything savory or salty.. Chips & dip, jimmy johns, pickles. YUM! Also smells have gotten to me. I had a quarter of a muffin and it was lemon poppy seed, I threw the wrapper in my trash can and had to take the bag out because I couldn't stand the smell! Another thing is that only the outsides of my boobs hurt? Weird.
3. Any appointments this week? Follow up Ultrasound on Friday.. hopefully will be able to see baby move.
4. Rants, raves, questions? I hate when some of my symptoms go away and then come back.. I'm happy when they come back, but the going away makes me so freaking nervous!!! I hate that I can't see what's going on in there so I know everything is okay!
5. GTKY: do you have any hidden talents or skills you show off occasionally? The only think I can think of is getting my tongue into a clover shape... lame, but that's all I got for ya!
2. How are you feeling?
I've got good days and bad days with the nausea, exhaustion, and mood swings. But at least the good days are getting more frequent.
3. Any appointments this week?
Still have 2 more long weeks to wait!
4. Rants, raves, questions?
I'm not sure if this is a rant or a rave, but I'm showing already. STM and I started showing at 14-15 weeks last time. This isn't just bloat, it doesn't come and go, it's my muscles. I guess they were just like "oh hey, we remember this" and just jumped the gun on me. I'm secretly happy because I really love all my maternity clothes.
5. GTKY: do you have any hidden talents or skills you show off occasionally?
hmmm... not really? I'm musically inclined so maybe that counts. I can pick up new instruments and remember lyrics/melodies fairly quickly. My dad is the same, sometimes when he has a "jam session" at his bar he'll make me sing. I always joke that I'll only sing Janis Joplin because she's hard to mess up lol
8 weeks
2. How are you feeling?
Yesterday I was good until I ate lunch then it was hell again. Today it's been exhaustion, nausea and hungry, headache, back spasms. I didn't get anything done until 1 today. I've also started feeling weak half way through work which is no good, can't be passing out in a patients room.
3. Any appointments this week?
I had one yesterday with my midwife. Not too much happened. She took a blood sample, urine sample and vaginal flora swab. She says I need a dating ultrasound since I May be further than the little EED wheel says so I'll be going for that and then not seeing her again until May 2nd.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
love my midwife, it took her a moment to remember me from 5 years ago. I hate my body rebelling right now, I don't remember my others being this bad.
5. GTKY: do you have any hidden talents or skills you show off occasionally?
I love to bake and make pretty things. I can't draw anything to save my life.
6 weeks!!!!!
2. How are you feeling?
I'm doing pretty well. Nauseous on car rides - which is normal for me, just increased. But other than that and wanting to eat everything in sight, I'm okay.
3. Any appointments this week?
next Tuesday is my first!
4. Rants, raves, questions?
I so wish my DH would help clean up, and not get annoyed when I don't have the energy to clean. Asked him to do 3-4 simple tasks while I was at work, he did 2 of them in the 4.5 hours between him getting home and me getting home.
5 weeks
2. How are you feeling?
Exhausted and hungry all of the time.
3. Any appointments this week?
I have my confirmation appointment Thursday. I'm looking forward to blood work for the first time ever in life.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Rant - the bloat is killing me and I'm finding it hard to cover my blump in regular clothes. Rave - I still have old maternity clothes and they're comfy. I know it's way too early to justify wearing my maternity wear, but comfort is everything.
5. GTKY: do you have any hidden talents or skills you show off occasionally?
I make good candy apples and other chocolate covered treats.
8 weeks
2. How are you feeling?
It's rough. I have a lot of breast pain and tenderness. Rolling over in bed is painful. I have some food aversions and a lot of cravings for salty things. I get nausea on and off throughout the day. It doesn't seem to be related to anything, though - sometimes I've just eaten, other times I haven't eaten for a few hours. A fair amount of round ligament pain, once or twice a day, usually in the morning when I'm first getting active. Also gas, bloating, constipation, and of course, I'm tired ALL the time.
3. Any appointments this week?
I have my first actual prenatal appointment tomorrow.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
This one's a rant - okay, so, I THOUGHT my first appointment was going to include an ultrasound, but when my doctor's office called me today to confirm, I told the woman on the phone I had a few questions about my appointment if she didn't mind. Except, I was super flustered and didn't straight up ask if I was going to have an ultrasound - I just asked "what am I having done at the appointment? Do I need to prepare for anything?" And she made it seem like it was just going to be a routine pelvic exam?
I mean, she called me at the absolute worst frigging time - it was late afternoon, I was in the middle of changing a nitrogen gas tank, I had to run outside because I was in a busy part of the building and didn't want anyone to overhear, and it was raining, so I was caught off guard. I was getting ready to call THEM to make sure my appointment was still on. Anyway, I'm going to call back tomorrow and ask, because I will be so disappointed if I show up and they literally just do a totally unnecessary pelvic exam (I'm low-risk for abnormal pap smears and I was vaccinated against HPV so a yearly pap was never a requirement for me) and ~take my history~ which they already have because I've been a patient here for almost 3 years. Also I feel like this was a total bait-and-switch. When I first made the appointment, they were DEFINITELY talking about ultrasounds. I remember because I thought it was awkward how many times the phrase "transvaginal ultrasound" came up in the conversation.

I can wiggle my ears and nose at the same time.

I just want to see the darn thing, you know? I feel so disconnected from being pregnant, other than the fact that I feel like crap every single day. I'd like to see what I am going through all of this for.

1. How many weeks are you?
8 weeks
2. How are you feeling?
Miserable. Have had two instances where I just broke down crying this week from fatigue and being unable to keep food down. My original first appointment was supposed to be yesterday but they pushed it to next week and won't prescribe me anything for nausea until after they confirm pregnancy. Whomp, whomp.
3. Any appointments this week?
First appointment next Tuesday. Nervous doesn't begin to describe it.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
DH is being amazing. We have agreed that this is our last baby due to it being so hard physically already this time around. Lots of feelings about that, but it feels right for both of us and I am glad we are on the same page as he originally wanted more. My mom also came by yesterday to help me out and it's so nice having her about 15 minutes away and retired. I don't know what I'd do without her sometimes and I love that she has such a close relationship with my children.
5. GTKY: do you have any hidden talents or skills you show off occasionally?
Hmmm, I am a violinist. I don't think that necessarily hidden since it was my original career, but now that I'm a SAHM, it's not something everybody knows about me. I also quilt and am a hobbyist photographer.
2. How are you feeling? Not too bad. Some boughts of nausea and some waking in the night due to digestion issues.
3. Any appointments this week? First appointment is next week- 4/4
4. Rants, raves, questions? Really anxious to get to my appointment and ultrasound next week and hoping to see that everything is OK
5. GTKY: do you have any hidden talents or skills you show off occasionally? I am a cake baker/decorator- but don't do it very often anymore.
