Re: Due Date Check In (week of 11/6): First Week of May 4/29-5-5
What symptoms are you having? Still sore boobs and tired because of the time change.
Rants/Raves: My appointment is finally tomorrow. And I absolutely now don't want to go at all.
Any questions this week? I don't think so.
GTKY: (Stolen from another BMB) Tell us about the worst/most awkward/most cringe-worthy date you've ever been on. I met a guy (I can't remember where....it may have been through MySpace or something) and we went to see a movie. I really wasn't that attracted to him in person and he just stared at me the whole time awkwardly. I couldn't wait to get out of there.
How far along are you? What size is baby this week? 14 weeks 2 days, Lemon SECOND TRIMESTER!!!!
What symptoms are you having? Nausea is still bad and boobs and nipples are more sore than ever
Rants/Raves: I am so done with getting sick. I got sick last night in our front yard as we were pulling in from supper and felt awful this morning.
Any questions this week? Where is the relief 2nd tri brings? Granted, I had no relief until 30 weeks with DD, but I've been hopeful it'd be different this time...
GTKY: (Stolen from another BMB) Tell us about the worst/most awkward/most cringe-worthy date you've ever been on. My very first date, I was 18 at college. One of the guys in one of my classes who I thought was cute asked me to join him for supper. Holy smokes I had no idea what I was getting in to! First, he and his roommates hot boxed the car on the way to meet his other friends (this was my first pot experience, so I had no idea what was going on - I thought they were just smoking cigarettes). Then they all started drinking, most of his friends were still in high school, so I was very unimpressed because I had grown up thinking you had to be 21 to be able to drink. When we finally got to Buffalo Wild Wings, no one talked to me, not even the guy. Then, on the way back, they hot boxed the car again. I never talked to that guy again.
BFP 2/25/14 EDD 11/5/14 BD 11/4/14
BFP 8/26/17 EDD 5/5/18
14w6d, navel orange/apple tomorrow!
What symptoms are you having?
Hardly any at this point, other than little things like getting out of breath quickly. Really hope I start feeling baby soon so I can be happy with my lack of symptoms rather than worried!
Rants/Raves:
I was bummed yesterday morning because I was supposed to hang out with my mom all day but she had to bail due to work stuff. My wife totally made the day better though; we did an unplanned full house cleaning (including unfinished, previously completely disorganized basement!) which was SO necessary, and then she even came the 40 minutes to my mom's with me so we could at least have dinner together! I hate cleaning but I sure do like the clean house after...for the 2 days it lasts with all our furry pets, and dinner was yummy and fun.
Any questions this week?
Why can't I figure out the difference between a bouncer, swing, and rocker? I have a hand-me-down rock and play...that's a rocker I'm guessing?
GTKY: (Stolen from another BMB) Tell us about the worst/most awkward/most cringe-worthy date you've ever been on.
I never went on many dates, so I can't say I've really had any cringe-worthy ones. At most just some awkward incompatible online dating match-ups.
What symptoms are you having? Nausea, vomiting, fatigue, breakouts, emotional. I am so much fun!
Rants/Raves: Rant- Our boss texted us at 7:15 today moving our 8:30 meeting to 9:00, which messes up my whole day.
Any questions this week? Nothing I can think of right now.
GTKY: (Stolen from another BMB) Tell us about the worst/most awkward/most cringe-worthy date you've ever been on. I have such a boring dating life. I guess the worst date was with my high school boyfriend. His mom hated me and would say awful things about me to my face. I definitely dodged a bullet when we broke up.
@sparklingdiamond the time change is kicking my butt, too.
@zizzabell523 add me to the bench of waiting for the second tri relief to come
@abhphilly A rocker is a chair to me.
14 weeks and 3 days. A troll doll, haha!
What symptoms are you having?
I’m so sad to hear so many of you are still having first trimester symptoms too. Starting to think the whole “oh the second trimester is sooooo wonderful” thing is a scam.
Still breaking out (is this supposed to settle down or am I in it for the long haul here?) Short of breath a lot, especially when I wake up. Cranky, so cranky. Tired, and lazy. Oh and I think I have a urinary tract infection!
But ya, savouring every minute bc it’s the most wonderful experience of my life (jk barf barf barf)
Rants/raves
posted to social media this week and three people responded with “omg you’re huge! Is it twins?” ... Who. says. this?
ackward/cringe worthy moment from a date
Ohhh God, all my stories are so inappropriate. I’ve got some hilarious cringe-worthy one-night stand tales from my “sowing oats” days but I don’t want to risk offending anyone!
How far along are you? What size is baby this week? 14+4 size of (not weight) an 8oz filet mignon
What symptoms are you having? still with the nausea, seriously? less tired-ish
Rants/Raves: I'm just so tired of the blood sugar ups and downs.
Any questions this week? nah
GTKY: (Stolen from another BMB) Tell us about the worst/most awkward/most cringe-worthy date you've ever been on. I was in college and hanging (ok, drinking heavily) at a friend's fraternity and ended up hitting it off/making out with a guy. He asked me on a date for the next weekend and he talked about how he biked and stuff. I asked him about his favorite food and he said how much he loved carbs for biking and talked about carbs for a really long time. Oh and the reason he transferred to our university was for his ex girlfriend. We did not hit it off (no matter how much I love carbs, too lol). So the moral of the story, not everyone you drunk make out with is going to be a match!

a bouncer is a chair that bounces on a pivot. Ours also vibrates. This devices saved my sanity as it’s the only thing my child could be set down in if it being held.
A swing literally swings back and forth with a motor. Often has sounds and lights too.
a rocker is like a rock and play. Like a tilted bassinet that tips back and forth.
14 week peach
What symptoms are you having?
nausea and vomiting have been particularly bad this week after a little relief in weeks 11 and 12. Acne. Sore boobs.
Rants/Raves:
rave - had an appointment this week and because my OB is also my work friend she did a bedside US to calm my fears. Saw him sucking his thumb and then flipped over into a stretched out Superman.
Any questions this week?
is it April yet? Oye. So over this.
GTKY: (Stolen from another BMB) Tell us about the worst/most awkward/most cringe-worthy date you've ever been on.
My match.com date was a dud so I decided to make it super awkward and tell him about my research paper...on female genital mutilation. He still wanted a gfsecond date.
@cups4 I love carbs, too, but that is next level.
@abbykm7 LOL!
How far along are you? What size is baby this week? 15 weeks tomorrow
What symptoms are you having? headaches, boobs hurt, Charlie horses if I don’t remember my bedtime banana with milk. Otherwise I’ve steadily been getting more energy back in the last two weeks.

I finally have a good one!
My DH was the second online date I ever had, but the first was awful. We met at Texas Roadhouse for drinks and he got sloshed- I wasn’t even old enough to drink- but I didn’t even realize it until we were on the way to the movie. I had to give him a ride to the movie because he was tipsy and I was not getting on his motorcycle. We went to the movie theater to see No Vacancy (?) and he was passed out, SNORING, within 10 minutes. So I left him there in the theater and never heard from him again.

Round ligament pain on my right side of the abs
Rants/Raves:
Kind of wondering when my belly will start to "bump" as opposed to look like a beer gut?
GTKY: (Stolen from another BMB) Tell us about the worst/most awkward/most cringe-worthy date you've ever been on.
It's been a long time since I've been on a first date. I would say during college, this one guy wanted to watch horror movie trailers all night and see my reaction to them. He was really weird...

Any questions this week?
No
GTKY: (Stolen from another BMB) Tell us about the worst/most awkward/most cringe-worthy date you've ever been on.
Ugh ok so this was over 10 years ago but I remember some of it. I was 18 and was so into this one guy. He picked me up and we drove to his friend's place for some reason, I think he said he needed to pick something up. When we got there we went to the basement and I sat and watched him and his friend smoke weed and watch Pink Floyd, The Wall for what felt like forever. I can't recall the rest of the date but it was less than noteworthy.
15 weeks tomorrow, Orange
What symptoms are you having?
heartburn, but mostly this cold I have is kicking my butt
Rants/Raves:
So happy I go to good results from the Harmony test! Rant- this cold can F off.
Any questions this week?
No
GTKY: (Stolen from another BMB) Tell us about the worst/most awkward/most cringe-worthy date you've ever been on.
I went on a date in my mid twenties with a guy who shared some mutual friends. We went to see a band play at a bar where he got completely wasted and made a total ass of himself lol
14+6 today (I’m a few days late posting) baby is a peach.
What symptoms are you having?
Sickness... fatigue
Rants/Raves:
I had my HG finally under control with zofran and Zantac, but I’ve been having swelling in my face and neck all week and itching. Turns out I’m allergic to Zantac. My 8year old has off of school most of this month for conferences and teacher work days, but only thanksgiving and the day after the actual week of thanksgiving. Wtf! I don’t get that! Rave is I’m spending all day Saturday in London with some girlfriends! Going to my fave cafe in st James park, going on a double decker bus tour of the city again and touring the Tower of London.
Any questions this week?
Nerp
GTKY: (Stolen from another BMB) Tell us about the worst/most awkward/most cringe-worthy date you've ever been on.
havent really had any cringy or awkward dates, but I did get pregnant with my first child on my first “date” with my husband. That was an awkward phone call 7weeks later.
WHY WONT THIS GIF WORK??????
What symptoms are you having?
none
Rants/Raves: My son has been running a fever for the last day and a half. I think he's almost over it. DH's empathy for a sick kiddo: "stop crying!"
Any questions this week? None
GTKY: (Stolen from another BMB) Tell us about the worst/most awkward/most cringe-worthy date you've ever been on. Maybe the time my car got towed when I spent a few hours at a guy's house. I got to pay for 2 days storage even though they only had it a few hours because they picked it up before midnight.
15 weeks today. An orange or Spongebob
What symptoms are you having?
Rapid weight gain a symptom? -.- Also constipation. I broke down and bought stool softeners.
Rants/Raves:
I too would like a legit looking bump because my front looks like Jabba the Hut waiting for the bump to fill out the flubber.
Any questions this week?

So I haven't had a lot of these, but one stands out for me. DH and I had broken up for a while because we made a lot of stupid choices. He didn't want to get back together and I'm hyper socially inept, so I decided to make a craigslist ad to meet people. This guy I knew from youth group responded to me asking if I was indeed Ivy, and I gave him my number. He spent a lot of time telling me how being in the service helped him grow up and that he was more mature than he was in high school. Absolutely not accurate... We started off at a local bar and hung out for a bit and I kept looking for reasons to leave. He kept bragging about his haircut (he was bald) and how he looked just like wolverine with his facial hair (it was the same style, but he looks nothing like Hugh Jackman AND it was cut horribly uneven...) I made the suggestion that we go get dinner at Applebee's and called my sister to bail me out. She recommended I call him before I get there and tell him that I had to go to the hospital to take care of my nephew with her. So I did and I didn't really keep talking to him after that... I felt like I was on a date with a 12 y/o the entire time -.-
What symptoms are you having? Sciatica. Kill me now, please!
Rants/Raves: DH is awesome about helping. I would be lost without him.
Any questions this week? Anyone have home remedies for sciatica?
GTKY: (Stolen from another BMB) Tell us about the worst/most awkward/most cringe-worthy date you've ever been on. Our bishop slung his arm around this guy's shoulders and told him to ask me out. He did and it was just plain awkward from start to finish! We had NOTHING to say to each other. I was so glad to get home. Not much of a story, I know.
@helloworld9 Probably closer to 20 weeks?
@onesmallcoconut I've been moody this week, too
@Jlr025 yay for good test results!
@kristib1027 have fun! I love going London
@squashandlaces towing companies are the worst. We caught them towing my mom's car and they still made us pay so they wouldn't tow it.
@ivyvines6 yikes! Sounds like you dodged a bullet with that one
@crazyliblady Try looking up hip opening yoga poses. Pigeon, happy baby, and a few others are really helpful for working it out. I also go to a chiro to get adjusted.
