Re: First Week of Sept EDD Feb. Check-In
10W5D
How are things going? How are you feeling?
good days and bad days. Some days I really feel like im improving, and others not so much. Today was a pretty good day, just severe exhaustion after a 12 hr shift.
Upcoming appointments?
My first ultrasound this Friday!! I’ll be somewhere just over 11 weeks so it will be the NT scan. Praying everything goes well and if so, can’t wait to see that little heart beat!
What are some of the small things that make your day better?
it used to be coffee until I got pregnant and hated the taste!! Having a bath at the end of the day, spending time with my girlies, or maybe picking up sushi for lunch! Mmmmmmm
Whats something you like to do the old fashioned way?
I LOVE baking. Love using my grandmas scratch recipes for pies etc.
I'm feeling ok today. Yesterday was my first day of morning sickness and was prepared with Dramamine and ginger soda.
No upcoming appointments. Next one is the 23rd.
Iced coffee, dramamine, ginger soda and my dog make my days better.
I love sending letters in the mail. I'm not a huge fan of sending emails.
How far along are you? How big is baby?
9w6d. Tomorrow will be 10 weeks and baby will be the size of a kumquat.
How are things going? How are you feeling?
Still have terrible evening nausea but no vomiting, Thank goodness. B6 candies are helping a little. Still pretty tired but not as utterly exhausted as I was in week 8. I think that was my peak. I’m starting to get some random pelvic girdle pains already (which is scaring me a little) since I had horrible pelvic girdle pain last pregnancy and I hear it only gets worse each time.
Upcoming appointments?
I didn’t post in the appointments thread but I got my dating US last Monday and baby was measuring exactly as I suspected based on O date. HB 175! Next appointment will be 2/14 for NT scan and blood work.
What are some small things that make your day better?
DS always makes my day, even if he’s exhausting most days. I’ve also been taking 5-10 minute breaks to myself here and there and letting DH do all the things so I can just relax and rest for even a few minutes.
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way?
Definitely event/party invitations in the mail. I don’t have FB and neither does DH, so we often don’t hear about events until last minute when someone decides to remember to invite us formally. We have a family member who never communicates with us or invites us to things because of it. I think it’s ridiculous.
9+2, cherry?
How are things going? How are you feeling?
Going alright, huge water aversion, so working through that...
Upcoming appointments?
Still waiting on first one, only 8 more days
..
What are some small things that make your day better?
Dr Pepper, Ice Cream, and watching toddler play fetch with 6 month old puppy. Caught between giggles and tears.
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way?
Cloth diaper with flats, and hand write thank you notes.

How are things going? How are you feeling?
I’ve had some better days recently where I can actually eat meals, but most days are still the same persistent nausea. I’m also SO tired all the time; on the weekends, if my son is napping, I’m napping too!
Upcoming appointments?
Tomorrow! Some blood tests and, after a phone call with insurance today, possibly the NIPT!
What are some small things that make your day better?
Cuddles and kisses from my son, string cheese, when my head hits a pillow (literally, any pillow. Anywhere.)
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way?
I send LONG handwritten thank you notes for everything, and I still enjoy a good phone call over text. I’m all for texting when things need to be brief, but I’d prefer a whole catch-up session over the phone. I don’t live in the same state where I grew up so I have a lot of those with my childhood friends and family members...
10+1
How are things going? How are you feeling?
Things are going okay. I’m finally starting to feel like a normal person since getting a cold turned sinus infection 2 weeks ago. I’ve been sort of an emotional wreck since my doctors appointment last Thursday (found out we’re having identical twins). I’ve joined a support group but hearing about all the risks is making me more overwhelmed. Pregnancy wise symptoms have seemed pretty good so i am grateful for that.
Upcoming appointments?
I will I’ll be having lots of appointments. I go to a specialist in about 2 weeks and see my OB/GYN again in3 weeks. Starting at 16 weeks I go to the doctors every other week and have an ultrasound each time.
What are some small things that make your day better?
cuddling with my son or husband. Talking to close friends.
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way?
not sure... camping in a tent (if that counts).
@born2run911 I hope your first ultrasound goes well!
@CSchoFink good luck at your appointment!

How are things going? How are you feeling?
Still super nauseous. I've been taking the dicelgis, so at least I'm only throwing up 1-2x a day now. I went through this last time with DD and it lasted all 9 months, so I'm hoping that it won't this time.
Upcoming appointments
I just had one today that was really frustrating. I am still waiting for the office to schedule my MFM appointment which should be done in in the next few weeks when I have my first trimester screening.
What are some small things that make your day better?
DD is starting to say more words, so I love when she says please now. I think it's so cute.
What's something you like to do the old fashioned way?
I still carry a paper calendar in my purse. I've tried using my phone and just can't get there.

Symptoms are all as strong as ever. Nausea, sore boobs, exhaustion.

My puppies

Upcoming appointments? Not until end of the month
What are some small things that make your day better? Ds likes to put all our shoes in his little car and its really funny
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way? @JLyn821 i don't know if it'd be considered the old fashioned way, but I still like writing Thank you notes. I feel like alot of people don't do them anymore, and idk why.
9w5d Tater tot.
How are things going? How are you feeling?
I seem to have a little more energy and a little less nausea. I'm dealing with bronchitis + stress incontinence so I've been wearing giant poise pads and diapers for weeks which is rather depressing.
Upcoming appointments?
Not until 12 weeks. I wish there next appointment was before Valentine's Day because then I'd feel comfortable going ahead with a cute themed announcement.
What are some small things that make your day better?
When DD is being sweet or saying a new please or just watching her play independently. Also, carbs.
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way?
Hmm I prefer to write by hand when I'm brainstorming, like making lists or writing the first draft of a paper or something. The thoughts just don't flow as well through a keyboard.
How are things going? How are you feeling? Thankfully, I have been feeling pretty good! Finally pretty much over the debilitating fatigue.
Upcoming appointments? 1st appointment with OB on 2/20
What are some small things that make your day better? My dh. When he is not being bratty, he is so sweet and funny!
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way? I love to bake!
9w3d according to my first dating ultrasound, but maybe a couple days further due to LMP date
How are things going? How are you feeling?
Exhaustion maybe a little less? Nausea still there with a vengeance, and even less appetite. Finally actually threw up the other day...wasn't even nauseous at the time, just smelled something and gagged.
Upcoming appointments?
Not until next Thursday 2/15...meeting with the NP, probably the doppler heart rate and planning all the tests I'll need.
What are some small things that make your day better?
My toddler is very affectionate lately! And napping.
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way?
I like a good old fashioned post-it note, and have been known to stick them to my iPhone LOL.
10 weeks today. Baby is the size of a strawberry. I'm using the Bump app for this what other apps are you ladies using for weekly pregnancy/baby updates?
How are things going? How are you feeling?
Things are going well. I stop my progesterone suppositories today which makes me nervous and a little relieved all at once. They were not fun. I'm feeling better. Having a lot of twinges/pulling/sciatic nerve pain the past week. My nausea has eased a lot but still having aversions.
Upcoming appointments?
Not until next Monday. First appointment with the OB. (I've had two prior ultrasound appointments with our RE)
What are some small things that make your day better?
My dog and talking over my day with my SO. He seems to usually make my day brighter.
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way?
I agree with the from scratch baking/cooking but I also love to handwrite love letters to my SO. May sound cheesy, but I've done it since the start of our relationship and he has quite the little stack of them stored away.

10+4, prune
How are things going? How are you feeling?
Nauseous and exhausted. I have a lot of crap going on and I don’t think I’m going to like my new job as much as I thought I was so I’m looking for something else, again.
Upcoming appointments?
