Re: Friday Ticker Change (4/14)
2. Not too bad. Still queasy a lot but could be worse.
3. Had my dating u/s yesterday. Follow-up for lab work is Tuesday.
4. Can't think of anything!
5. Tomorrow we will announce to DH's extended family with Easter eggs. I think I will Facebook announce after my 12 week appt on May 15th (right after Mother's Day).
1) How many weeks are you? 10
2) How are you feeling? Still really good. My primary symptoms are sore Bbs, bloating, some dizziness (lowered BP), and CM. If I didn't have to unbutton my pants every time I sit down, I would really not notice I'm pregnant. I feel truly terrible for those of you still going through MS and I hope it passes soon. I'm currently reading 'The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy' (which has been pretty amusing so far, btw) and the author notes that THE GODS OF PREGNANCY ARE USUALLY FAIR. So I will not yet say that I'm having an "easy" pregnancy... I don't want to speak too soon. But so far, so good.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Next appointment isn't until May 10th, though I will go in for genetic testing (Maternity21) sometime during Week 11.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Has anyone switched their OB during pregnancy? I like my OB and her primary nurse, but haven't been too happy with how their prenatal routine care is being offered (e.g., some appointments are in groups, and the general prenatal nurses I've seen haven't made me feel good - poor bedside manner). I'm not sure if it's worth looking elsewhere, or even if insurance will cover a new visit elsewhere.
5) GTKY – Are you planning any baby announcements for the upcoming holiday weekends (Easter or Mother’s Day)? Or – do you have anything fun planned for those weekends? We're going to my parent's house on Saturday, and my DH's mom is also joining for dinner, so we're planning to tell them as a group (no one knows yet). We have some u/s pictures that I think we'll put in big Easter eggs to give to each of them. My DH was so excited about being able to tell them all together that we're actually not going home already tonight for that reason - my parents would know soon if I refused to have a few drinks with them and I'm terrible at lying. So we're just making it a short trip, but I'm looking forward to it! Not sure when we'll make it known more widely - perhaps in another month or closer to Mother's Day.
2) How are you feeling? overall good! Nausea, aversions, and going to bed at 9pm everynight.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? First appt is Monday! Can not wait to see this little babe on the ultrasound. I've been terribly anxious lately and just want nothing more than to see my little rasberry and a healthy heartbeat
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
None right now. Just really enjoying this community and hearing from other women who are going through this together.
5) GTKY – Are you planning any baby announcements for the upcoming holiday weekends (Easter or Mother’s Day)? Or – do you have anything fun planned for those weekends?
yes to mothers day..Just figuring out exactly how. Our family all lives very far away so thinking of a cute way to share the news with them. Maybe something over Skype.
1) How many weeks are you? 8 weeks!
2) How are you feeling? I think my nausea has been slightly reduced the past couple days... or maybe I'm just getting used to it? Anyway, still some nausea, going to bed super early, too many food aversions, and sore boobs... but feeling happy.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Had my second ultrasound yesterday, baby was measuring at exactly 8 weeks and was SO much bigger than our 6.5 weeks ultrasound. Strong heartbeat of 167. Squee!
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? @sunflower4444 's comment about feeling anxious lately made me think of this. I have been finding myself anxious about protecting my belly in various situations... e.g. from my cat jumping on it in bed, or when I walk by groups of people outside sometimes I feel anxious that they might attack me and somehow hurt the baby. Anyone else have irrational fears like this? I've struggled with anxiety in the past so maybe it's just me...
5) GTKY – Are you planning any baby announcements for the upcoming holiday weekends (Easter or Mother’s Day)? Or – do you have anything fun planned for those weekends? We told both sets of our parents very early on, and that was the most exciting/important announcement for us. I think I'd like to tell the rest of my family (brothers, nieces/nephews, etc) in mid-May, so I've been thinking Mother's Day would be a good time to tell them since I'll probably be able to see them in person then. The Easter announcements with eggs sound cute
2). I feel good. Mainly just exhaustion but it's probably because I'm chasing a toddler around all the time.
3). I had my genetic screening done last Monday (04/10). Anxiously awaiting those results. My next appointment is May 2nd.
4). Nothing to rant or rave about this week.
5). I still haven't decided if we will do a huge announcement. We never hid this pregnancy from immediate family, friends, or coworkers. The only folks left to announce to are extended family and our Facebook friends. We do have plans to cluster with the extended family tomorrow so we will probably mention it then. Maybe. I'm so indecisive.
2. Feeling a little better. The tired all the time feeling is still there. I'm getting very frustrated by my lack of motivation to do anything.
3. Nothing this week.
4. Can I chose to be induced? I've always been induced due to health issues..... but this time i want to choose it jyst so i can be organised. Sounds dumb. But my DH work has some weird policies regarding time he can take of for the birth etc. He has to give 10 weeks notice of leave dates. If this baby runs late, then the daters he gives them wont be correct. Feeling screwed.
5. Not really. Everyone knows. Plan to have fun with my other children during school holidays. Some geocaching maybe. Camping possibly. Fishing even.
10 and glad to be in double digits!
2) How are you feeling?
I think the nausea is starting to get under control, finally! I still have waves but i have been able to lower the meds and contol it by snacking and chewimg gum. BP meds are working and that helps me feel good too!
3) Any appointments or tests this week?
Nope. Next appt is 4/24...i am seen every two weeks
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Anyone every bought/used cheeper mayerity clothes from Walmart. You can only order them online but I am thinking of getting a pair of capri pants to see how they hold up. I just hate paying prices and rarely see larger sizes on my local resale groups.
5) GTKY – Are you planning any baby announcements for the upcoming holiday weekends (Easter or Mother’s Day)? Or – do you have anything fun planned for those weekends?
All of our family knows and most of those in our immediate circle of friends, church, etc. We are NOT good and keeping the secret and with 4 kids they tell everyone. We have not FB announced and I am not sure if or when we will. We are looking foward to a beautiful weekend here on the gulf coast there will be church gatherings and lots of outdoor activities!
10!
2) How are you feeling?
Tired. Nauseated. Same as last week hah
3) Any appointments or tests this week?
Nope, next appt May 3
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I usually work 3 12 hour shifts a week, and ended up having to work 5 days this week. I don't remember how I ever did this! My exhausted, pregnant body is not keeping up.
5) GTKY – Are you planning any baby announcements for the upcoming holiday weekends (Easter or Mother’s Day)? Or – do you have anything fun planned for those weekends?
We are telling parents/siblings this weekend! I'm so excited
2) How are you feeling? Tired but no more gagging when I brush my teeth. Never got ms which is great.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? I had my 10 week apt and we saw baby move and all the limbs and spine. I cried. Next apt is at 12 weeks which is also when they start blood tests for genetic testing.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Next time I don't need a vaginal u/s! My dr does them at every apt which I'll definitely miss when we leave Korea. Probably the only thing I'll miss tbh.

We already announce on FB with a spring photo session and it was amazing.
