<b>Please</b> <b>note</b>: This check-in is for those Sept moms who have participated recently on the TTGP board, i.e. leading up to this pregnancy. If you did not participate on TTGP, members may ask you who you are and/or wonder if you're lost. Please don't take offense. There will literally be a million check-ins once the Sept board gets going - no one is expected to participate in them all. ❤
How are you feeling? Pretty good after noon. The morning can be rough. I'm happy to have the symptoms though.
Any recent/upcoming appointments? First US is next Thursday! I can't wait.
Rants/Raves? One of my movers had to bail out of work tomorrow. Now I'm freaking out about only having one guy for tomorrow's jobs, meaning I need to help move the furniture. I'm reading that since it's something my body is use to doing that it should be fine in the first tri, and the real risk of injury is me and not the bean but still.
Questions? Is it weird that I miss the TTGP board and ladies?
GTKY: We've told so many people. Only ones that we would tell about a loss though. The shorter list is those we haven't told. H's parents because his mom would ask tons of questions and probably be unknowingly insensitive if we had a loss. Then the friends and family on the outer ring. You know, the ones you love but aren't as close to.
How are you feeling? Pretty Good! Mostly just bloated and weird cramps and pinches if I stand up too quickly. I think I may have the sense of smell thing going on though... not sure if I'm imagining it. But the other evening coming out of work, I was like, "oh, it smells like incense!" And the other girls were like ughh no...? And I'm like, "like someone's got a fire going??" And she's like, yeah, maybe the building's burning. Lol. So yeah. No one else smelled it, apparently.
Any recent/upcoming appointments? Betas were great; first scan is Tuesday, 1/9! Not expecting to hear the hb yet, but fx DH will come anyway. :)
Rants/Raves? Why am I the only employee at the Bank so far this morning, in the snow? With two customers waiting??? I can't open alone, so I'm just sitting here...
Questions? Sort of wondering about prenatals. But maybe it's better for another thread? I stopped my coq10 and everything but the prenatal multi, but then I ordered my *DHA* since I was out, and wondering if I shoukd keep taking extra calcium... I feel like after all this time TTC, I know practically nothing about actually being pregnant! :/
GTKY: I told a couple friends who knew we were TTC but they all live out of State. The pharmacist knows, and DH obviously.... and I may have told a random customer or two just for fun. But we will wait to tell work, or family etc. On principle, I sort of wanted my mom to be first in the family, and then the close family we see, and then send a written announcement later, but I feel like she will blab, and once I tell her, the cat is out of the bag. So I'm torn. SIL knows we transfered, and I told her, "so far so good," some time last week... but that's it. Lol
@BusinessWife YES on the smell thing! I'm cautious to make comments about smells because I think I'm the only one noticing them
I only participated on TTGP for this last cycle, but lurked for several months before that, so I hope it's OK I'm joining here!
How far along are you? 4+1
How are you feeling? Good for the most part, other than getting kind of crampy and tired in the evenings...and cold all of the time! But mostly, happy
Any recent/upcoming appointments? January 24th!
Rants/Raves? The heat has been out in our building all week and it has been a PITA working elsewhere on campus. It seems to be somewhat fixed today, although not 100%, but I'm happy to be back in my office.
Questions? What app(s) are you using to track baby's development? I saw a few people recommend Ovia in August, so I downloaded that. Otherwise...as a STM, I feel like I am recalling a ton of knowledge from last time around, BUT it was 5 years ago so in a way, I feel like I am starting over again, especially in terms of baby products, etc.!
GTKY: Who have you told so far about your pregnancy? Just MH. I want my Mom to be the next to know, so we are planning to tell her in two weeks when we go on a cabin trip for her 60th birthday! We will tell my Mom and Dad, my brother and his girlfriend there, then our DD after our appointment the following week, then my H's family, then close friends, work and announce on SM after the first trimester. Pretty much exactly how we did it last time.

@businesswife I hope your coworkers showed up soon after you! No fun having to wait on them like that. What is rah? I would think your prenatal has enough calcium in it unless you tend to already be deficient in it.
@southernlady07 I'm not using an app other than TB to track progress quite yet. I'm not sure if I'll switch to anything else.
@southernlady07. I am ready to throw autocorrect off a freaking bridge lol rah = DHA. This time it wanted to correct it to "dua" because that makes more sense than what I actually typed in the first place. <<facepalm>>
