GTKY: What would you do if you won the lottery?
Re: TTGP Grad Thread 12/28
How are you feeling? Nauseous a lot, but less bloated, so that’s nice.
Any recent/upcoming appointments? Tuesday! I’m so excited!
Rants/Raves? We told my parents and I’m looking forward to telling DH’s family next week.
Questions? -
GTKY: What would you do if you won the lottery? Pay off our debt (mostly DH’s student loan), buy a house, give a lot to our favorite charities.
BFP#1: 11/15/2010 * Missed M/C 12/28 * D&C 12/29/2010
BFP#5 12/26/2017 *SURPRISE* Due 09/02/2018
How are you feeling? Queasy all the time. I know I need some food right now but nothing looks good to me.
Any recent/upcoming appointments? First us on Thursday the 4th and will hopefully be discharged from my RE.
Rants/Raves? My skin looks amazing. After 18 months of IF treatment with different meds and being on/off bcp this is the first time my skin has been clear in a long time.
Questions?
GTKY: What would you do if you won the lottery? buy a house, take care of education accounts for all the kids in my family and then invest the rest for retirement.

Take a look at my blog
How are you feeling? Tired, grouchy, and easily annoyed at H.
Any recent/upcoming appointments? Had one Tuesday. Was a huge waste of time. Next ones the dating US at the end of January.
Rants/Raves? We haven’t told anyone in our families yet. I really don’t care to tell them. My parents will not be super happy but will come around in a couple weeks, but my ILs are all from hell and don’t deserve to know.
Questions? Nope.
GTKY: What would you do if you won the lottery? Pay off student loans. Buy a new vehicle for both H and I, set aside 2-3 years worth of bills, buy land&build our ‘dream’ house. Then pay off my parents mortgage. Anything else would go into a retirement/CD savings for the kids’ further education.

How are you feeling? Meh. Nauseous, very tired. I've also got this lingering cough that's just killing me. I get into these coughing fits that are not pleasant on top of the nausea. I can't believe I haven't thrown up. Struggling to brush my teeth because of the gagging.
Any recent/upcoming appointments? Nurse intake appointment is 1/5, but that will be boring. Basically just telling me all the things I can't eat and can't do anymore. No u/s until 1/30 at 12 weeks.
Rants/Raves? Nothing right now. I'm boring.
Questions? Nothing for you ladies. Just wondering how I'm ever going to make it another month before my u/s.
GTKY: What would you do if you won the lottery? Pay off our house, set money aside for college funds, take some really extravagant vacations, probably quit my job, buy some fancy stuff I don't need, do some home repairs for my parents.

@laurad75 congrats on getting your skin back, I'm sure you're glowing.
@princesslockness unfortunately we are kind of in the same boat with announcements. Anybody who has been less than thrilled with my previous pregnancies does not deserve to know until we do a general public announcement. The in laws recently told DH that we should wait to have more kids.
How far along are you? 5w2d
How are you feeling? Relatively well, but starting to get that hit-by-a-truck exhaustion
Any recent/upcoming appointments? Jan. 29 (10weeks with u/s)
Rants/Raves? Now that Christmas is over, I'd like to just get back to our normal routine. My town is filled with tourists though, so I feel like I can't even go to the grocery store.
Questions?
GTKY: What would you do if you won the lottery? Pay off debt and buy land for an off grid homestead with hobby farm and animals.

How are you feeling? Great! No real m/s yet other than a very occasional mild queasiness, and my cramps have mostly subsided.
Any recent/upcoming appointments? First ultrasound this morning, got to see the baby and see and hear the heartbeat, it was so crazy and amazing!
Rants/Raves? I feel so so much better and less anxious after seeing and hearing the baby. It feels very very real now and seeing unbridled excitement on DH's face for the first time (he has been very cautiously optimistic prior to now) was really amazing.
Questions? Nope!
GTKY: What would you do if you won the lottery? Pay off student loans, pay off my mom's mortgage, travel all over Europe (until end of second tri I guess!), hire an investment adviser and security team ASAP, donate to charities and political campaigns.

Any recent/upcoming appointments? Next Thursday another U/S and will see my doctor this time.

@laurad75 my skin clears up with pregnancy, too. Last time my body hair growth slowed down, so I’m hoping that kicks in soon as well. Some pregnancy symptoms are actually nice!
How are you feeling? Fine. Honestly, aside from some breast tenderness, occasional nausea, and tons of exhaustion (I had to take a nap to recover from moving from my bed to my couch), I kind of still don't feel like I'm pregnant.
Any recent/upcoming appointments? I have my first OB appointment on 1/2. I'll be getting my first ultrasound then too. I've heard good things about this practice, but I don't love the hospital they're affiliated with. I'm wondering if the hospital choice makes a bigger difference than doctor choice (as a first timer, I have no clue).
Rants/Raves? I'm at the point in winter break where I know I need to start prepping for the week to come, but refuse to. I just want to lay on my couch and eat.
Questions? I know what I'm not supposed to eat (i.e. everything fun and delicious), but WTH am I supposed to be eating? I've upped my water intake, and I'm trying to eat fairly healthy, but are there things I should be eating that I'm not eating?
GTKY: What would you do if you won the lottery?
Pay off my student loans and then put every remaining cent in the bank so that I'll never have to worry about money again. I grew up really poor, and DH is currently looking for a job, so the idea of financial security sounds so nice.
@lalala2004 I'm super jealous- my skin has gotten worse (including butt acne, which I never used to get!) and I feel like my hair everywhere is growing like crazy- I want to shave my legs twice a day. Also, we're appointment buddies!

But I’ve been drinking protein shakes and eating protein powder mug cakes, so that’s helped a bunch, too. I do feel bad that I haven’t been eating too many vegetables, but most of them don’t sound appealing either...

I got yesterday's HCG results first thing this morning and it was 15. My heart just fell when I saw that number. At 5 weeks pregnant (20 dpo) I knew right away that it was a bad sign. I took another digi this afternoon and it said "not pregnant" and tonight I started bleeding bright red. So, I'm experiencing my 3rd loss and I'm just really really sad. I'm getting another blood draw tomorrow to confirm it but at this point I'm sure that I'm out. It was really nice getting to participate here for a little while. I'm not going to make my own thread on the board because I don't want to get tons of notifications about it that would just make me cry each time I see them.
I wish you all good luck and healthy pregnancies and babies.
