    How far along are you? How big is baby?
    5+3, baby is the size of an apple seed or peppercorn

    How are things going? How are you feeling?
    I’m bummed because I’m not feeling very excited yet, but I think that’s because I’m exhausted from chasing around a very mobile, teething 9mo LO and haven’t had time to sit and focus on this new LO. I really have no pregnancy symptoms other than fatigue, so hoping I’m just lucky and it’s too early for the MS and whatnot. 

    Upcoming appointments?
    Jan 17th at a new OB office with my old OB who moved practices. I’m not sure if they have in-office US but hoping so. 

    What did you do for NYE this year?
    I got a babysitter and went out to our comedy club to see a comedian and then my DH’s band play afterwards. It was fun but ultimately reminded me why I’m a homebody. 

    Are you planning any vacations/baby moons/trips before September?  If so, what?
    DH and I are going to Maine in June for our friend’s destination wedding. I’m excited because I’ve never been to Maine before! Also I’m hoping the bump will be at the cute and not massive stage right around then.  ;)

    Have you bought anything for the baby yet?  Do you plan of having a registry?  If so, where?
    I have all the essentials from DS, but am compiling a list of needs for #2 (new bottle nipples, burp cloths, etc). I would like to splurge on a wrap or ring sling because I’m sure baby wearing will be a necessity when chasing around a toddler too. DS wasn’t a huge fan of being worn until he was older, so I have a Lillebaby. Now he’s 25 pounds and mobile, so he that’s one big NOPE to being worn now! My baby wearing experience was brief and not much fun. 

    Are you FTM, STM, MOMs, PAIF, PGAL, etc?

    STM (have 9mo DS rainbow baby), PGAL after two losses before DS with no explanation for them.

    •5+4 Appleseed (I think)

    How are things going? How are you feeling?
    •going great. Peeing every 5 minutes, headaches from cutting back on caffeine. 

    Upcoming appointments?
    •January 16th I’ll get a dating US, but I’ve contemplated sneaking over to US at work and having a peek 

    What did you do for NYE this year?
    •stayed home with the girls and my family. Played ‘Cards Against Humanity’ poured me a large glass of wine and “sipped” on it while MH took up the slack of my lack of drinking 

    Are you planning any vacations/baby moons/trips before September?  If so, what?
    •no plans, but I would love to take the girls for a trip somewhere 

    Have you bought anything for the baby yet?  Do you plan of having a registry?  If so, where?
    •No registry. DD#2 is only 20 months and I have most of everything still from her and we bought the minimum of what we needed because of lack of space 

    Are you FTM, STM, MOMs, PAIF, PGAL, etc?
    MOMs (I guess?) I DD#1 just turned 6 in November, DD#2 will be 2 in May. Also PGAL in December 2010.

     **HUGE TW**
    Baby stopped growing at 7 weeks but I was having symptoms all the way to the day of my D&C. So I pretty much stay stressed out through my whole first tri.

    How far along are you?
    6 weeks, sweet pea. 

    How Oe are things going? How are you feeling?
    i was feeling so good up until last week I was hit with a wall of nausea and fatigue. 

    Upcoming appointments?
    i haven’t even called to set one up yet! Like @Wishilivedinflorida said, I also haven’t been able to sit back and enjoy this pregnancy yet between looking after two busy girls and feeling terrible. I plan to call today (although I said that yesterday). 

    What did you so for NYE?
    Nothing! I worked until 7pm and was exhausted after! We hung out in the basement and watched the countdown but I was asleep by 10pm

    edut. Because apparently half my post was deleted. 

    We we have a trip coming up to Florida for Disney in July (going to be hot sweaty and swollen pregnant!)

    We haven’t bought anything yet and probably won’t as we have all of the essentials. If it’s another girl we literally will need nothing. 

    And I am a third time mom!

    5w3d, roughly the size of a ladybug

    How are things going? How are you feeling?
    Things are going well. Currently laying in bed waiting to feel good enough to get up. 

    Upcoming appointments?
    Next Thursday, the 11th.

    What did you do for NYE this year?
    Um...fell asleep early. 

    Are you planning any vacations/baby moons/trips before September?  If so, what?
    We have a few trips that were already planned. We'll be going to Houston in a couple of weeks. Then Iceland in late March/early April with some friends, then Florida in June for my best friend's wedding. I kind of want to go to Harry Potter world while there but not sure if there's enough I'd be able to do. 

    Have you bought anything for the baby yet?  Do you plan of having a registry?  If so, where?
    So while I'm a FTM, I've been either a nanny or a preschool teacher for the last ten years and my specialty is infants through 2y. Basically, I made the registry last week of all the things I already knew I liked best. My mom has already purchased 7 things from it. I have some clothes and quite a few books so far. 

    Are you FTM, STM, MOMs, PAIF, PGAL, etc?
    I'm a FTM, PGAL. 

    @Wishilivedinflorida I'm hoping for a cute bump in June too! I bet Maine will be beautiful that time of year! 

    @megnwingate If I had access to an US machine, I would have such a hard time not using it! I'm impressed with your self-control.

    @born2run911 Aw that stinks that you had to work NYE.
  • Options
    @SkilledSailor Iceland sounds amazing!  Also we must be EDD buddies  :)

    @megnwingate Ugh I would not be doing the vag wand at work  :D It is super tempting,though! I did some fake sipping on NYE too, but luckily I’m still bfing DS so when I turn down a drink I don’t get much flack. 

    @born2run911 Hoping you (and I) get some energy soon! But realistically, probably not! I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I’ll probably be chronically fatigued for the next 2-3 years of my life at least!

    How far along are you? How big is baby? I'm 5 weeks and 2 days, Baby is the size of an appleseed!

    How are things going? How are you feeling? Things are going pretty well. I'm feeling good so far...just sore boobs and gassy and a little tired, but no real nausea.

    Upcoming appointments? Not for 3 weeks =(

    What did you do for NYE this year? I didn't drink, saying that I overindulged a few weeks ago and decided to take a break. I'm sure my sister and brother in law suspect something...lol.

    Are you planning any vacations/baby moons/trips before September?  If so, what? We have a cousins trip to Mexico planned the first week of June. It was set before we got pregnant, so we'll see if the doc approves of me going!!!

    Have you bought anything for the baby yet?  Do you plan of having a registry?  If so, where? Not yet. We have a little boy, so we have tons of stuff, but I'm really hoping for a girl so there would be a little purchasing if that happens. I guess we'll just wait and see!

    Are you FTM, STM, MOMs, PAIF, PGAL, etc? STM here.

    I'm actually an in-home daycare provider and I absolutely love what I do, the families who trust me with their children's care are absolutely the best and I can't imagine life without these wonderful kids. I can't stand people who are super judge-y about daycare parents.

    @crispy11 Haha let me know if you find a registry for a van/SUV! We'll likely get an SUV sometime this summer. We're in the process of adopting a second dog and we like to take our pups everywhere with us. I just don't see the baby loving having two big dogs in the back seat with him/her.

    How far along are you? How big is baby?
    5 weeks, could change based on dating ultrasound in a few weeks

    How are things going? How are you feeling?
    Tired, nauseous if I don’t take unisom

    Upcoming appointments?
    Had my intake yesterday, dating ultrasound in 3 weeks, my bloodwork came back with no concerns

    What did you do for NYE this year?
    Stayed in and had friends over on New Years Day

    Are you planning any vacations/baby moons/trips before September?  If so, what?
    Hoping to do at least one weekend getaway over the summer to the northern part of MN

    Have you bought anything for the baby yet?  Do you plan of having a registry?  If so, where?
    No and no, but I love target for all my baby/toddler needs

    Are you FTM, STM, MOMs, PAIF, PGAL, etc?

    5+2, an apple seed

    How are things going? How are you feeling?
    So far so good. Super exhausted and kinda moody, but I'm cutting out caffeine after being a coffee-holic for the past year, so that could be it too. 

    Upcoming appointments?
    Blood work on the 15th and US on the 22nd.

    What did you do for NYE this year?
    Went out for an early dinner and then home to lounge after putting DD to bed. Toasted the new year with sparkling apple cider and watching the ball drop with DH. Not exciting, but better than last year when we both fell asleep before midnight lol. 

    Are you planning any vacations/baby moons/trips before September?  If so, what?
    No plans now, but hopefully something over the summer. 

    Have you bought anything for the baby yet?  Do you plan of having a registry?  If so, where?
    With a 13 month old I don't need anything else so definitely no registry. If it's a girl we're set with everything, if it's a boy we'll just need clothes. 

    Are you FTM, STM, MOMs, PAIF, PGAL, etc?
    STM and PGAL

    How far along are you? How big is baby? 
     5w0d (maybe 4w6d or 5w1d :shrug:)

    How are things going? How are you feeling?
    My first inkling that I might be pregnant was because I was in a better mood and had a little more energy than normal for about a week before I tested. Since then I've had a few days of fatigue and maybe snapped at DH a little, but otherwise nothing.

    Upcoming appointments?
    Called today and got my first appointment set up for the 24th. I feel like I should know the answer to this question already but, those of you getting blood draws - is that because of high risk/fertility issues/previous losses/etc.? Or is it just standard for some OBs?

    What did you do for NYE this year?
    DH and I went to bed and listened to an audio book together until midnight when we smooched and promptly went tf to sleep. :Wink:

    Are you planning any vacations/baby moons/trips before September?  If so, what?
    Family beach trip will be last week of July then I'll be going to Columbus, OH to be matron of honor in my friend's wedding August 4th. Really hoping I am feeling good and baby is staying put around that time! Will possibly also plan a short trip for our anniversary in April.

    Have you bought anything for the baby yet?  Do you plan of having a registry?  If so, where?
    I *shouldn't* have to buy much, especially if it's a girl. But buying things makes me feel like I'm being productive and preparing while I wait. So in all likelihood, I will be buying all sorts of crap. :#

    Are you FTM, STM, MOMs, PAIF, PGAL, etc?
    STM DD is 17 months exactly today

    How are things going? How are you feeling?
    Things are actually going great so far!  I don't feel as sick as last time and I have been very active over the past two years and continue to take my beloved classes at OrangeTheory so I am hoping that will help me feel better overall.

    Upcoming appointments? January 19th is my first OB appointment. 

    What did you do for NYE this year? Went to dinner with our good friends from when we lived in Chicago and then slept - perfect!  

    Are you planning any vacations/baby moons/trips before September?  If so, what?
    Probably not. :( I want to go swimming with the pigs in the Bahamas but that probably won't happen for awhile. 

    Have you bought anything for the baby yet?  Do you plan of having a registry?  If so, where?
    No registry since it's kid #3, but I must have one of those Pockit strollers that I plan on buying myself.

    MoM here. There used to be a board for mom's of multiples but I think it may have since disappeared?

    @Car0liiine My OB requires blood work a week before the first appt. It's to check HCG levels as well as a bunch of things like iron levels, blood type, and to check for any diseases that could effect baby. 
  • Options
    @Car0liiine I'm currently still with my RE. They have you do two blood draws to be sure the HCG levels are rising and then an early US (~6.5 weeks) to check location and viability. Once I "graduate" the RE, my first appointment with the birthing center wants more blood work to check all the things @abundantlilacs said.

    @starla that's what I was thinking!
  • Options
    @Car0liiine my OB doesn't do the early bloodwork unless something is wrong. TW: my first pregnancy I had an initial phone call with the nurse practitioner who suggested early dating ultrasound because I hadn't been tracking anything, then another ultrasound a week later to be sure, but it wasn't viable on that scan and I had a D&C. I never had blood work. My second pregnancy I started spotting, so they did blood work to test the HCG levels (they were bad, and I had a miscarriage). My third pregnancy I refused to have an initial phone call appointment until I knew it was viable, so I had a first ultrasound between 7-8 weeks, and it was all good, and we went on to a regular appointment schedule after that--no blood work until much later. This time I have that same 7-8 week ultrasound scheduled, and don't have any appointments or lab tests before then. Although, if I have ANY bleeding I need to go in for a rogan shot, because I have negative blood, so if the embryo has positive blood and there's any bleeding my body might attack. 
  • Options
    Thanks for the feedback, sounds like it just depends. At my office you have an appointment with the OB between 7 and 9 weeks. I believe they will do a dating US. Then they schedule you a longer intake sort of appointment with the NP.

    @bissie17 congrats on the good news! 

    How far along are you? How big is baby?  
    5 weeks and 5 days

    How are things going? How are you feeling? 
    I’m doing well. My biggest issues are insomnia and back pain. My first pregnancy my chest went up a size by now, so I’m just grateful that hasn’t happened again. 

    Upcoming appointments?
    My first appointment isn’t till February 1st. 

    What did you do for NYE this year? 
    DH and I watched the first two movies of Harry Potter and then went to bed once midnight came. 

    Are you planning any vacations/baby moons/trips before September?  If so, what? 
    I’ll be going on a bachelorette in February to SC and the wedding is in Florida in March. DH’s family wants us to go to Indiana since there’s a family reunion so we might do that. DHs extended family (like grandparents) haven’t met our son yet so I feel it’s important to get out there sooner than later. 

    Have you bought anything for the baby yet?  Do you plan of having a registry?  If so, where?
    No, I got a lot of gender neutral stuff so I’m good but there are a few things we will need to buy. 

    Are you FTM, STM, MOMs, PAIF, PGAL, etc?
    STM - DS is 22 months.

    Hi, everyone! Congratulations—so excited to be here!

    How far along are you? How big is baby?
    5 weeks, 4 days. Bump says baby is the size of an apple seed! 

    How are things going? How are you feeling?
    I feel pretty terrible. I’m nauseated all the time and all foods and beverages are NOT appealing. However, if I feel like this, my body must be doing something right, so I’ll take it! 

    Upcoming appointments?
    Jan. 16 is first sono/appt. 

    What did you do for NYE this year?
    A few families that we are close with did a pajama party NYE for the second year in a row. We make a pot luck dinner, do a fake countdown for the kids, and then play games and hang out after they’re sleeping. So fun!

    Are you planning any vacations/baby moons/trips before September?  If so, what?
    We definitely want to go on a babymoon but we haven’t planned anything yet. 

    Have you bought anything for the baby yet?  Do you plan of having a registry?  If so, where?
    We haven’t purchased anything. We’ll probably do a small registry just so people have an idea of what we need/want. (I’m an STM but we had a fire when my DS was 2.5 months so we lost a bunch of our newborn stuff.)

    Are you FTM, STM, MOMs, PAIF, PGAL, etc?
    I’m an STM (DS turned 2 in September) so the kids will be three years apart.
