kpc914 It's best in the morning and easier if you are on the slimmer side. I also found that if I can't find it within 2-3 minutes I give up. For me though, it reduces anxiety. But as @NurseMarie9 said, it does cause a lot of ladies anxiety.
@artlea2013 on my last BMB there were many people who raved about the squatty potty. I have no experience though.. @Kaysquared2 Once upon a time I was a housekeeper... the cleaning skills are super nice to have right? @justsuzie omg cute little baby noooose! Also about Christmas cards, I don't think its weird. But we also plan to do that so maybe that's why. @abbykm7 I'm sorry about the situation with your hubby. I hope you guys can work it out soon.
How far along are you? What size is baby this week? 12+6, lemon tomorrow!
What symptoms are you having? Still nauseous at times but like 1 million times better than you poor ladies with HG. RLP, so tired...
Rants/Raves: This is not really a rant or a rave but with my new job my preceptor is 8 months pregnant. She'll casually mention pregnancy related things of course and it has been super hard to not accidentally comment like "me too." I'm trying to at least prove I can hold my own before I break the news but we will see. We are just waiting for NIPT results and then we will probably break the news to our siblings, so I'm excited for that.
Any questions this week? Are there generally good deals for baby related items for black Friday?
GTKY: What was your first job and what lessons did you learn from it? Detasseling corn when I was 14. I learned that getting up at 4 am really sucks and also that detasseling corn really sucks. So I guess work ethic and all that. Also, sunscreen.
Thanks ladies for the doppler rec! I will proceed with caution. Heard baby's heartbeat at drs office today. I could see how listening to that can get addicting, and how not finding it could cause anxiety.
How far along are you? What size is baby this week? 13+1, baby is the size of a lemon, hot jalapeño, watch
What symptoms are you having? I'm down to mild evening crappiness, and some gassy bloat.
Rants/Raves: We announced a few days ago and I got my first belly rub. Wtf. My uterus is barely above my public bone!
Any questions this week? Are we second trimester yet?!
GTKY: What was your first job and what lessons did you learn from it? My first job was a fast food restaurant. I learned to appreciate every other job since then!!
@mileswithmyles, my 3 lbs of weight gain have all gone to my bump too. Do you run through pregnancy?
@justsuzie, congrats on your NT scan! Any discomfort with the full bladder?
@kpc914, I love my sonoline B! I relied on it for reassurance until I could feel movement. I've found that with this pregnancy I have more success in the evenings with a fuller bladder.
@mileswithmyles you are doing great still! I haven't run in 10 weeks... mostly due to being cautious after transfer and then because I wasn't feeling too hot but I think it's time to ease back into it.
@justsuzie it's the worst. My tech took the difficult pics and then let me go to the bathroom and pee out 3 cups (there were cups on the back of the toilet) and it was instant relief!
@mileswithmyles, @justsuzie and @squashandlaces I haven't run since like the week I found out I was pregnant. It's sucked. I should start walking again though. It's cooled off a little bit here and J would love some park and stroller time.
@mileswithmyles Yes I do plan to take unpaid time off. We will see how long I will take. Maybe I'll take the full 12 weeks FMLA gives you, which will be like 8 weeks unpaid and 4 weeks of PTO.
As for me, I decided not to get a doppler. It's super tempting but my husband forbids me to!
