Re: Second Week of Sept. EDD February Check-in
10+1 / kumquat, paperclip, férrero roché
How are things going? How are you feeling? Pretty Good! Except my mom totally gave me a complex about something happening at 10 weeks. (Thanks, mom!) So instead of just being unabashedly happy about getting to this milestone, those irrational fears have been weighing on me. It doesn't help either that I just finished my last dose of progesterone, too. So when I should just be happy to be free of all those needles and suppositories, instead I have her words ringing in my head... ugh...
Upcoming appointments?
Nothing this week, but NT scan and NIPT labs on Tuesday 2/20.
What are some small things that make your day better? Soft, cozy blankets. Omg, I don't know how I would survive without my coziness when I'm sitting down in the livingroom, or climbing into bed. Also, my robe. :)
<span>What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way? I don't do a lot of it, but I really do love baking. And I want to get better at it too - like not just making cakes from a box, but following recipes from scratch. Yas, please.</span>
9+5
I'm so sick feeling and miserable today. We were in MN for the weekend and I think it exhausted me plus I think DH gave me a stomach bug.
My mom always makes pancakes from scratch and they are so fluffy and perfect. I'm always disappointed with boxed pancake mix that others people use.
@EErin86 I'm sorry you got a stomach bug. Feel better soon. I make pancakes from scratch and they're amazing, especially buttermilk pancakes.

10w2d; a strawberry
How are things going? How are you feeling?
Pretty good. Gagged while brushing my teeth this morning and threw up my coffee, and still feeling nauseated, but otherwise good.
Upcoming appointments?
Another ultrasound on Friday!
What are some small things that make your day better?
Finding the baby's HB on the Doppler. I can find it within a minute now! Also DH's hugs and snuggles with my cat.
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way?
I love sending and receiving snail mail.

@spottedgingerSo sorry you are feeling bad today! I hope it passes soon.
If you're due between Sept 8th and 14th, this is the check-in for you! Feel free to use the prompts, or not, and touch base on this thread at any time. We just want to know what's going on with YOU! ❤
How far along are you? How big is baby? 10 weeks today!!! Kumquat/strawberry.
How are things going? How are you feeling? So great! We saw baby/heard the heartbeat at 8 weeks 1 day on the ultrasound and won't have another until 19 weeks. I also found the heartbeat with our fetal doppler a few days ago.
Upcoming appointments? 2/21.
What are some small things that make your day better? When my DD says "I love you Mommy" out of the blue. And these days...treats! My box of Samoas is already calling my name at work...
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way? I like to cook things from scratch/make things homemade! I also enjoy planning/making lists in my bullet journal and reading actual books - even though I love my Kindle, too!
BFP #1: 1/23/2012 DD: Born 9/20/2012

@EErin86 What brought you to my lovely state!?
How far along are you? How big is baby? 9w4d
How are things going? How are you feeling? Still get nauseous frequently, but it's getting better. I am also still dealing with the fact I can eat a food once, but thinking about eating it a second time makes me nauseous. Sciatica was also horrendous this weekend...waiting for this ute to grow a bit more so it can change the pressure point and hopefully give me some relief.
Upcoming appointments? Not until 3/2 for the NT scan.
What are some small things that make your day better? A cup of coffee in the morning, a small sweet after lunch, driving my jeep to/from work, my dogs, and dorky things my kid does.
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way? We bought a chunk of land adjoining our property two+ years ago on a contract for deed. The people we bought it from are a very sweet elderly couple. I could set up my bank account to automatically send them a check every month, but instead a hand write one so I can write them a small note too.
How are things going? How are you feeling? I feel so crummy. Still haven't actually barfed but I'm nauseous and dizzy all the time. I just want to exercise and eat well this pregnancy and it's such a struggle.
Upcoming appointments? 1st Tri Blood draw this week, NT Scan 3/1, Next OB 3/5.
What are some small things that make your day better? My son is just so damn cute. He's in a snuggly phase and I'm loving it. He has the best smile and the best laugh. Also, NIPT results this week! We'll know soon if little boop is a boy or girl!
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way? Baking from scratch. Making my own whipped cream. Weaving!
How far along are you? How big is baby?
10w 1d - kumquat, paperclip
How are things going? How are you feeling?
Pregnancy stuff is going okay. I will feel better after testing this month and super Lok forward to feeling the baby move.
I am dreading telling family. They are super against more than two kids unless you end up with multiples. This will be #5 for me and I know my SIL is going to suggest termination (she's like that). My MIL, who is normally great, will get really quiet for a few months. FIL will day something stupid and judgemental. I am a grown *ss woman (38!) and I feel like a kid.
Upcoming appointments?
NIPT on 2/20
What are some small things that make your day better?
Candles, awesome coworkers/friends, chocolate
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way?
I make bread from scratch nearly everyday.
SIL sounds like the people that "would never bring a child into this terrible world we live in" I just feel bad that they don't see all the great things that happen every day and how much love people can have for each other
How are things going? How are you feeling? I feel like my morning sickness isn't getting any worse which is nice but the I have energy and do some things and then have no energy is starting.
Upcoming appointments? Not until 12 weeks.
What are some small things that make your day better? These days figuring out what to eat or having meals already figured out
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way? Well, we have a woodstove and I enjoy that!

I’m just sooooo tired! MS is totally under control thanks to Dislegis. And my boobs are really sore.
My next appointment is March 1. I doing a bunch of things but I don’t remember what. I know we are meeting a genetic counselor that day and doing scans and blood tests. And ultrasound! I can’t wait!
One thing that that makes me feel better: Thin Mints. I’m so happy it’s Girl Scout cookie time. Also, our baby’s nickname keeps making me smile. We are calling it Rocketbaby. Because it looks like a rocket shooting through space! So cute:)
I’m trying to make my Auntie’s chocolate layer cake from scratch. I tried the weekend before I found out I was pregnant and it tasted great but was kind of a mess! I’ve been feeling too bad, but I think I’m finally ready to try again! So, yes, baking is something that I also like to do the old fashioned way. I’m not great at it, but I enjoy trying!
9/4, cherry I think!
How are things going? How are you feeling?
Better than the first time around, but the nausea and vomiting still suck. I either eat too much or my stomach is too empty. I can’t win.
Upcoming appointments?
Tomorrow for my initial OB with the NP. I hope we can find the hb on the Doppler this early!
What are some small things that make your day better?
Those brief moments during the day when I am not nauseated. I live for those moments these days.
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way?
hmm...making Halloween costumes. I have made DS’s every year so far!
My little peanut is exactly 11 weeks today and is the size of a lime. S/he has grown so much! EDD is 9/8.
I'm also growing/showing all of a sudden. I feel like none of my pants fit all of a sudden. Belly bands are lifesavers. I am counting down the days to the second trimester because of my morning sickness. I cannot wait to stop feeling so fatigued and nauseous. Finally started to take Unisom and B6, which has helped a lot.
Peanut and I have two upcoming appointments. One on 2/27 (for check up and ultrasound, I think) and the other on 3/2 (for all the blood tests). I am hoping to find out peanut's gender soon.
Small things that make my life better are oddly enough, Thin Mints (totally agree with @magnolia209), milk (which I never used to drink), banana peppers, and pickles. Haha, I sound like a crazy pregnant person...
As for old fashioned things, I guess I really like reading the old fashioned way-- with actual books. I love the smell of them and exploring libraries and used book stores for a great new find.
11 weeks, 3 days. A Lego mini-figure.
How are things going? How are you feeling?
Nausea/morning sickness and heartburn are currently kicking my butt. I've never attempted to get through the first trimester sans nausea meds, and now I remember why. I don't, however, want to shell out the $ for what will probably only be a few more weeks of discomfort since I'm really not that bad off (knock on wood).
Upcoming appointments?
March 1 with the MFM for an US, NIPT, and some other blood work. March 2 with my regular OB for my 12 week appointment.
What are some small things that make your day better?
The boys various shenanigans, and today, the fact that we are getting the house back to ourselves (we've had a house guest for the last week).
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way?
I prefer traditional books over ebooks. Going to the bookstore or library always puts a smile on my face.
How far along are you? How big is baby?
11+5! As big as a lime
How are things going? How are you feeling?
Ive been nauseous and have had SO many bad migraines. I’m hoping this gets better soon. I’ve had a hard time sleeping past 3-4am as well, so I take Tylenol PM some nights for relief!
Upcoming appointments?
Im just changing doctors, so I don’t go in until 3/8 for the NT testing. I had the first tri blood work done on 2/12, and I’m anxiously awaiting those results!
What are some small things that make your day better?
Sees candy! Hugs from my 1 and 3 year old ☺️. Getting in a good swim or yoga class!
What's something you like to do the old-fashioned way?
Cook and bake! Sadly, I’ve been exhausted and haven’t had the motivation lately, but I feel like I see the light now. I also want to get back into sewing and have a few projects in mind
things are going alright, I’m having a hard time with nausea and being so tired, my eating has been all over the place and my DD watches more tv than usual so I can have a chance to rest on the couch. Trying to not have guilt about that.
My my next appointment is on March 12th for a scan and some blood work, going to scan for chromosomal abnormalities and maybe find out the sex based on that blood work!
Some little things that make me happy: my DD has started calling everyone (people, animals, and toys) her best friend. And when she hugs me and says ‘mommy my best friend’ I cry a little! She’s so sweet. And stubborn. And amazing. I finally ordered some preggie pop drops and they are amazing. Doritos are life.
as far as being old fashioned, I LOVE to bake, and I keep a paper planner I would be lost without. I also read real books, I can’t stand reading on a screen for very long. (Just re-read A Wrinkle in Time And was transported back to middle school.)
@magnolia209 how'd the nt scan go today?
