3. Any appointments this week?

4. Rants, raves, questions?

5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately?

kate0506 · May 2017

1. 9 weeks, baby is the size of a cherry

2. Feeling good this week, got a bit more energy during the day now, but still incredibly tired in the evening.

3. Had my first appointment yesterday with my midwife, just to start paperwork and take bloods etc.

4. Annoyed with my boss this week, told her I was pregnant as in my job I have to do quite alot of moving and handling. She didn't even congratulate me, was just as if it was a complete burden on them. Not the response I was hoping for as my bosses are normally lovely :-(

5. Hate to admit it but I've been listening to Justin Bieber - Despacito. Loving it at the moment

I keep forgetting about ticker change posts!

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 12 weeks! Almost done with first tri, thank goodness. I think it said plum.

2. How are you feeling? I'm so damn tired. Chasing my toddler around while pregnant is hard work!

3. Any appointments this week? Today! Although it's just an appt with the APRN to go over random stuff like diet and whatnot...totally pointless at this point and because this isn't my first rodeo. I'll get to hear the HB though, so that'll be great! Last time she snuck in a quick u/s, so we'll see.

4. Rants, raves, questions? Nothing yet!

5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately? @kate0506 same song! My techs at work have Spanish music on all day, so it's grown on me!

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 13 weeks! Lemon. 7 more days until 2nd tri and I'm stoked!

2. How are you feeling? Like garbage, tired and still vomiting

3. Any appointments this week? Nothing until my ultrasound and GD test at 16 weeks.

4. Rants, raves, questions? My toddler hates me lately and doesn't want to sleep. LOL

5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately? Cake!! It's my pregnancy anthem!

@kate0506 Sorry your boss was a tw about it. I'm dreading telling mine because a coworker is about to go on maternity leave in a few weeks and my boss is already acting like it's this big inconvenience. I swear...

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

12 weeks - is this real??? Size of a plum or apricot

2. How are you feeling?
Mostly good, some headaches (they feel like hormonal+stress headaches) that are not fun. Definitely little upticks in energy, but still pretty friggin tired. I used to be solid with 7-7.5. Now I definitely need 8-9 hours.

3. Any appointments this week?
NT Scan tomorrow!

4. Rants, raves, questions?
I got really anxious Monday morning and ordered a home doppler with rush shipping and got it last night. After a very frustrating first try, then watching approximately 25 youtube videos from 12 weekers, I was able to find it after I laid all the way flat and had a full bladder. It sounded like a washing machine and I was just, laughing with happiness and gratitude for a while.

I'm a FTM and it was higher than I expected. Like an inch above my hair line and pointed mostly straight toward my back. I was doing it wrong at first because everyone says they're so low down this early and I was pointing it into my pelvis and hearing nothing. But maybe I'm not so early anymore?

5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately?
Feel Me Flow by Naughty by Nature. It's a nice throwback, summer jam that makes me excited for hotter days!

@kate0506 I emailed my boss the news really early on because I have to start making plans for coverage asap. She ignored my email for over a week and I was freaking out.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
9 weeks! He is the size of a cherry.

2. How are you feeling?

I feel like crap this week. Super nauseous and tired. Really can't wait to get outta the first tri.

3. Any appointments this week?
Nope! I have an obgyn appt in 2 weeks.

4. Rants, raves, questions? Only 1 week left if pio shots!!!!!

5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately? I haven't really been playing anything on repeat but my husband discovered the band Trash Boat and has been playomg one of their cds non stop.

@whiska I'm jealous of the home doppler. Too afraid to get one since I know I won't do it right and freak out and end up in the ER

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
11 weeks - Lime!

2. How are you feeling?
Better - still tired but not so much nausea. Thank god.

3. Any appointments this week?
Had an U/S yesterday (first at my normal OB office after graduating from my RE)

4. Rants, raves, questions?
RANT: Ugh, so I was 10w6d at my U/S yesterday and the tech said, let's just go ahead and do the NT scan now. Well, my NT measurements are on the high side (like 3.4mm). Oh and after this happened and I was waiting for my doctor, I was told she had to step out of the office and would call me "soon" to discuss the u/s. I know I'm not supposed to worry until the NIPT blood work comes back (they said like a week) but I'm still freaking out. This (she) is an IVF baby who was also PGS tested (tests for chromosomal abnormalities before IVF transfer back in) so the chance of Down Syndrome would be like nil (since that was tested for) but still worried that their could be heart issues (and unnecessarily paranoid that the PGS testing wasn't accurate). If anyone has good outcomes after a abnormal NT measurement, hit me up please.

5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately? Anything Sam Hunt. He just sounds (and looks) like summer to me.

kate0506 · May 2017

@jljeanblanc sorry to hear your u/s appointment has left u in a bit of worry. Hopefully all will b fine. Let us know when you get results. Thinking of you

@tamalahoops and @whiska its sucks when our bosses act like this, it's meant to be an exciting time for us ladies, not worrying how work are going to react.
With my first child two years ago, he was only 3 weeks old and my boss was already ringing me asking if I could come back and help out at weekends. I couldn't believe it, thought they were ringing to see how I was lol. Obviously I refused, especially as I was breastfeeding and my ds was attached to me what felt like 24 hrs a day. There shouldn't be so much pressure on us mums.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

10 weeks, strawberry!

2. How are you feeling?

Gave in and got a prescription for promethazine last week. Only thrown up twice in a week! It makes me more tired and doesn't get rid of the nausea completely, but I feel much better Now!

3. Any appointments this week?

I had one yesterday. They took blood for labs (uck) and tried to find baby's heartbeat with doppler. I cried when tbey couldn't, even though they said there was nothing to worry about, and ended up getting a quick peek at baby via ultrasound! Baby was kicking around with a visable, strong heartbeat at 170 and appeared to be right on track with growth.

4. Rants, raves, questions?

My precious DD is driving me up the friggin' wall this week!! I think she's cutting her last 2 canine teeth and she's been a terror. I feel so guilty that I've been grumpy with her, but she is literally throwing fits ALL DAY LONG. Yesterday she cried for 10 minutes because I opened the curtains. I hope that it's just her teeth causing this and they cut through quick. I'm about to lose my shit.
Also.. mobile bumping sucks. The last few times I've tried to post it's randomly cut off my response halfway through. So apologies if you see me commenting and not making sense. It did at one point, promise.

5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately?
I LOVE "Something Like This" by Coldplay and The Chainsmokers

tracefacemsu · May 2017

@jljeanblanc sorry to hear your last appointment has you worried. I hope that everything will turn out to be okay when you get more results. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
@whiska glad the home doppler worked out! Hope your NT scan went well!

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
11 weeks--lime!

2. How are you feeling?

About the same as the last few weeks--nauseated and fatigued.

3. Any appointments this week?
Nope--I have my NT scan in two weeks.

4. Rants, raves, questions?
My motivation and concentration at work as taken a nosedive over the last couple of weeks. I'm usually very productive and focused, and I hope things will get back to normal in the second tri. I plan to be an SAHM after LO arrives, and for now, I'm just looking forward to be done!

5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately?
Nothing really comes to mind!
