What is your EDD? How big is baby? Jan. 7/ lime

Symptoms?pretty good but ohh so sore nips when nursing. I need to wean but idk how I'm going to cut out the last 3 sessions: morning, nap, and night.

R/R/Q: I got Sneak Peek back and it's a boy! I'm so excited but really nervous too. I only know girl lol. Give me your best boy advice ☺️

Upcoming appointment?
July 3rd for NT scan. It feels like forever away but I have pretty busy next 2 weeks so it should go fast.
What did you do to celebrate father's day?
We went to church and went back to ILs house for burgers. Came home and we all slept about 2 hours. Then we went to the pool for about an hour. It was crazy so we came home and DH grilled some steak. Pretty low key but was nice.
Anything else?
NBR: anybody have Comcast Xfinity and having issues with your internet? I am so over them but my only other option is Frontier and they're no good either. Ugh why is there such a monopoly on internet providers?

What is your EDD? How big is baby? 1/06 - Lime

Symptoms? The nausea is definitely better. I don't feel as sick all day as I did before. But it's still present most of the afternoon / night. Especially if I eat too much. Or not enough. Or not soon enough. Etc. The gagging has also been worse. Which leads to more throwing up. Also I've been having some cramping which I'm hoping is just expanding uterus but it's hard on PGAL brain.

R/R/Q I did the dumbest thing yesterday and hit a parked car while I was pulling into a parking spot at the grocery store with my BFF. I couldn't believe it as it was happening. Thankfully the damage to both cars was minor (really just scrapes - no dents except maybe one small one on their car). I was so embarrassed and it made me feel like such a terrible driver. H was not happy with me and it kind of soured his day a bit so I felt bad.

Upcoming appointment? NIPT blood draw tomorrow. I won't actually meet with my OB to discuss the results for 2 weeks though.

What did you do to celebrate father's day? We had my BFF and her husband over who have a 7 month old. It was a fun day. We let the girls play in a kiddie pool and we blew up a larger pool and lounged in that a bit. We BBQd (which I wasn't really able to enjoy because by that point my stomach wasn't having it). But overall it was a good time!

Anything else? I'm simultaneously wishing this next 1.5 weeks until my NT scan away and wishing time would slow down because my DD is going to be one on Saturday! I can't believe it. I also still have so much to do for her party and not enough time since school isn't out until Friday.

BitterBetty12 · June 2018

@gorgeousariel Congrats on team blue! I also only know girl and have a strong feeling this one *might* be a boy. I know nothing about being a boy mom!

What is your EDD? How big is baby?
January 5 - Baby is the size of a lime!

Symptoms? still getting bouts of fatigue but things are getting better symptom wise

R/R/Q -

Upcoming appointment?
Nothing until first week of July. Just waiting for my NIPT results currently.

What did you do to celebrate father's day?
We went up to Mt. Hood and explored. Then bbq-ed. It was a great relaxing day. I also told my dad about baby. He was thrilled obviously.

Anything else?
My birthday is Friday and we're going to the coast for a night. I'm really excited.

We had a great weekend playing ticket to ride with our old neighbors and Friday my H built a bon fire. All in all I had a really great weekend.

galactickates · June 2018

Can you guys believe we have limes???!!! Lol it's so crazy to me. I didn't make it past a raspberry before so this is totally crazy to me

BitterBetty12 · June 2018

@galactickates It really is pretty surreal. I thought about how close we were to 2nd tri yesterday (less than 3 weeks) and it blew my mind!

leighbrek · June 2018

What is your EDD? How big is baby?
January 2nd. Baby is a lime.

Symptoms?
Still some morning sickness and starting to develop a bit of dizziness if I stand in one place for too long.

R/R/Q
Morning sickness can seriously get lost. 12 weeks tomorrow and STILL puking. C'mon!

Upcoming appointment?
First ultrasound Wednesday!!!

What did you do to celebrate father's day?
No.

Anything else?
My friend found this little bear suit for newborns somewhere and decided that I just HAD to have it. It's so early to be buying clothes, but hey. It's adorable.

KLS123 · June 2018

What is your EDD? How big is baby? Jan 2nd; Brussel Sprout

Symptoms? Very tired. Unisom and epsom salt bath are helping curb my MS

R/R/Q I had to go get tested for Zika exposure for a trip I took back in April. It pretty much consisted of a Dr. yelling at me for ~45 minutes about how awful Zika is and just listed off all the worst case scenario options and that likely we will have an endemic of infected mosquitoes where I live now in the US by summer time then sticking me about 5x in both arms before drawing blood. I was furious by the time I left. Obviously I know I'm at risk because I showed up for the testing and what good does it do to scare/stress out a pregnant woman before you even test positive? The whole thing was designed to make me feel like a piece of shit human for traveling before I knew I was expecting and it worked. Anxiously awaiting my results to be posted this week...

Upcoming appointment? Not until 06/28

What did you do to celebrate father's day? Celebrated with having my family in town for the weekend and telling my siblings that I am pregnant.

Anything else? nope

MrsPyrowiz · June 2018

What is your EDD? How big is baby?
1-2. Lime? Lemon? Hummingbird? Idk, small.

Symptoms?
Braxton hicks. I've gotten them earlier with each kid, so I'm not surprised.

R/R/Q
I'm just generally annoyed. Lol

Upcoming appointment?
Should be. Waiting for an appointment confirmation from my midwife.

What did you do to celebrate father's day?
We didn't. It was my birthday yesterday and in my husband's opinion, when my birthday falls on that day, it wins over Father's Day. We pawned our kids off and went out to dinner and walked around target for a couple hours. Then we picked up the baby (11 months) and our almost 3yo stayed with his grandma and pop for the night. He loves sleepovers because my sister in-law is only 6 months older than and they're best friends. And then we went home.

kaf1788 · June 2018

@KLS123 I'm so sorry you had such a terrible experience. That makes me so angry!

What is your EDD? How big is baby?
January 5th. Lime.
Symptoms?
Nausea comes and goes. Still exhausted. Also noticing some round ligament pain especially if I get up from the couch too fast.
R/R/Q
I just got back from a quick vacation and it just was notttt enough time to destress from work. And then I got back to about a million emails asking me to have things done by noon. Over it.
Upcoming appointment?
I have my NT screening ultrasound and NIPT next Wednesday. I already got Sneak Peak results back with a boy result but I don't think I'll fully trust them until I get something more legit!
What did you do to celebrate father's day?
I spent the day with my husband on an airplane. I upgraded us to nicer seats and told H it was his father's day present but really it was more for me lol.
Anything else?
I can't believe first trimester is almost over! I'm starting to slowly tell people as I see them and it's really starting to feel real!

DLpanda08 · June 2018

What is your EDD? How big is baby? 12/29 baby is the size of a plum!

Symptoms? Still a little tired and I get hot and sweaty super easily. Boobs are still huge

R/R/Q

Upcoming appointment? My next one is June 29th but it’s just a basic checkup... nothing exciting like an ultrasound.

What did you do to celebrate father's day? We went to my parents the day before and the day of I hopped a plane for a solo trip leaving DH to take care of the kids lol.

Anything else? I had my first call with our insurance “healthy moms” program. I don’t think it will be too much of a hassle and I’m really looking forward to the check we get for participating after baby arrives.

emmaaa · June 2018

What is your EDD? How big is baby? January 7. Baby is the size of a lime/brussels sprout

Symptoms? My main symptoms has been extreme fatigue, restless sleeping, and just feeling ehh. It's still all there but a little better. My newest symptom? Headaches.

R/R/Q Rant: It's hot as balls here, like 100* and humid and it feel awful just to walk outside. I usually try to walk during breaks and at lunch around town to just get some air and exercise and this is really limiting that. Rave: My OB and the tubing company gave me the thumbs up to go tubing at the end of the month!

Upcoming appointment? My next appointment is July 5.

What did you do to celebrate father's day? Saturday evening we went to DH's grandparent's house for a low country boil with that part of the family (so delicious!). The Sunday we went to his mom's for a while and let DD nap there while I took DH to lunch and we ran a few errands. We had supper at my older brother's house with my dad and got to tell my brother that I'm pregnant. He was super excited!

BitterBetty12 · June 2018

@emmaaa The heat is really getting to me too. I have my NIPT draw in a few minutes and I was originally going to go back to work after. But now I decided to take a half day and go home. We don’t have air in my part of the building and I have nothing going on this afternoon (I’m a teacher and it’s finals time) so it seems silly to torture myself for no reason (other than always feeling guilty when I leave work).

emmaaa · June 2018

@BitterBetty12 Where are you located again? It always baffles me to hear of schools not having A/C. I live in NC and that's unheard of here (unless it's in the mountains maybe?).

bradleysmommy28 · June 2018

What is your EDD? How big is baby? Jan 1st, a swedish fish or plum maybe?

Symptoms? Nausea pretty randomly and extreme thirst. Apparently my feritin levels are low so I'll be getting and iron infusion in a few weeks and that makes you thirsty.

R/R/Q: my BIL gets married on 7/7 and I can't find a dress shirt for my giant 5 yr old who is the ring bearer and we leave for a 2 wk vaca on sunday. Also, im not packed, DH isn't packed and I still need to clean ( we have a house sitter coming and Im super anal about eveything being spotless when other people are here). Also I'm super stressed at work so not looking forward to 2 wks off. And I still have a major lack of energy.

Upcoming appointment? Had my 12 wk OB apt yesterday. Aside from the iron infusion news, all is well and my next apt isnt until 16 wks when I start my progesterone shots and biweekly monitoring to prevent another preterm labor

What did you do to celebrate father's day? We were at the beach so we spent a glorious 6 hrs laying around, our 5 yr old was on his best behavior and I actually felt relaxed! DH was nursing a hangover (BILs bachelor party was Saturday night) so all he wanted was low key.

jandd2014 · June 2018

What is your EDD? How big is baby? 1/7/19, lime

Symptoms? I'm pretty exhausted all the time and generally uncomfortable (already, ugh).

R/R/Q Its getting hard to hide my growing belly. I'm running our of non-maternity shirts to wear in one week. I think I'm going to have to be fully in maternity clothes next week, which means we need to announce to everyone asap, which I just keep putting off.

Upcoming appointment? I need to go in and get my blood drawn (7 vials

) but no further appointments until mid-July.

What did you do to celebrate father's day? Nada. DH and I took DD camping for the first time, which was overall successful, but I didn't get him anything (because he said he didn't want anything). Took my dad a card Sunday night and DH text FIL, but that's it.

Anything else? I started teaching summer school yesterday. It's only half days and goes for six weeks, but DD is still going to day care all day and I'm so looking forward to relaxing afternoons at home alone!

berg · June 2018

What is your EDD? How big is baby? 1/4, lime

Symptoms? nothing really...

R/R/Q finally saw the baby yesterday. My EDD was pushed from 1/9 (my birthday), up to 1/4. Possible that we'll have a December baby if we have a c-section. I'm hoping for a VBAC, but we'll see how it goes.

Upcoming appointment? Tomorrow is a pap and going over my blood work. Then I have another on Friday. Since I went from 10+6 to 11+4 in a day, they needed me in for the NT and the genetic testing (AMA) quickly. It's a relief to see the nugget and know that everything is cool right now.

What did you do to celebrate father's day? We went out on the boat and then had a nice dinner with my parents.

Anything else? Nope

emmaaa · June 2018

At what point is it acceptable to call your belly/bloat and baby bump? Lol.

BitterBetty12 · June 2018

@emmaaa I’m in NJ. So not as hot as NC. But we still have blistering summers. I actually ended up taking a half day yesterday and not coming back to work after my NIPT. I'm also struggling with the bump thing. I know it isn't a baby bump right now because it's not caused by baby - it's caused by shifting organs and maybe a tiny tiny bit of baby down at the bottom. But I am 100% showing. I am heavier than I was when I was pregnant with DD so I think that probably has something to do with it, but I did not look pregnant before I got KU or even a few weeks ago. And it is there in the morning when I wake up so I know it isn't just night time bloat.

I guess that rant is to mostly say, IDK! But I am feeling the same.

emmaaa · June 2018

@BitterBetty12 I still can't imagine y'all not have A/C, that's crazy to me. Glad you got some relief with the half day though!

And I feel like I'm definitely showing...especially if I'm not paying attention to how I'm standing or trying to suck in what I can lol. I hate the in between stage. I'll be glad when I am definitely showing and don't feel weird about it hah. And I also know I'm showing so much earlier this time around. I don't think I actually started showing until about 16 weeks or more with DD. (Even though I swore I had a bump at like 11 then, but nope)

BitterBetty12 · June 2018

@emmaaa Yes! I think I was 15-16 weeks before I even had a slightly noticeable bump with DD. And even then it was mostly only me who noticed it unless i was wearing the perfect outfit to showcase it. I am in a way happy to be showing early this time but at the same time I'm in the awkward 'I just look fat' stage. And since I'm heavier than when I got pregnant with DD, it's not helping my self esteem!

And the no A/C is brutal. I'm also really grumpy because the week was supposed to be mild after Tuesday but the forecast has changed and it's been in the 80s and 90s everyday.

emmaaa · June 2018

@BitterBetty12 How much longer do you have until school is out?

And yes, this is the stage where people just think I'm gaining weight and probably because they see how poorly I'm eating

BitterBetty12 · June 2018

@emmaaa Today is the last full day. Half days Thursday and Friday. So thankfully I'm pretty much done. September will be another story, but I'll cross that bridge if/when I get there.

And omg yes I'm eating so poorly. I keep hoping everyday that I'll start to feel better and crave healthy food again. Because I'm overweight my OB actually gave me the ok to follow weight watchers throughout this pregnancy, but I haven't even be able to think about it because aside from fruit, the thought / smell of most healthy foods makes me gag.

emmaaa · June 2018

@BitterBetty12 I feel like the first trimester (and longer is the nausea continues) is all about survival! I remember eating pretty good in the my second and most of my third tri because I felt better. I'm hoping I can do the same this time

BitterBetty12 · June 2018

@emmaaa Same. And even when I didn't eat super healthy, I was only able to eat small meals, so I wasn't over eating bad food at any point. Looking forward to getting there again hopefully!
