First time mom check-in

in February 2019 Moms
I'm sorry I missed posting this last week! Things got crazy for me. The S+TM check-in only happens every other week, and I'm wondering if it might make sense for this to be biweekly too? Let me know what you think!

1) How many weeks are you? How big is baby?

2) How are you feeling?

3) Any appointments this week?

4) R/R/Q

5) GTKY: What part of motherhood are you most excited about?

    1) How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
    14 weeks. Baby is an orange.

    2) How are you feeling?
    The nausea has gotten a lot better, but I'm still just so tired all the time. When do I get that mythical 2nd trimester energy?

    3) Any appointments this week?
    I've got a midwife appointment on Thursday. There won't be an ultrasound, but I'm super excited about it anyway.

    4) R/R/Q
    I got a nail in a tire this week, and took my car in hoping it would just be a cheap patch job. Turns out the tires are all worn down and all four of them need to be replaced. I took the car to two other places for second opinions because I wanted to believe they were just trying to sell me stuff I didn't need. No dice. I need to buy a whole new set of tires. Oof.

    5) GTKY: What part of motherhood are you most excited about?
    Baby snuggles. I just want to hold and cuddle my baby. The part where they grow up sounds more challenging.

    1) How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 13 weeks, lemon. Or daisy, although I’ve never seen a lemon-sized daisy. Go home TB, you’re drunk.

    2) How are you feeling?     Blah. I’ve been lucky enough to have not had the extreme fatigue most people seem to get, but yesterday it hit my hard. I’m so sluggish and sleepy, and I keep blacking out when standing up, so I’m worried I’m anemic too. Oh and I puked in a bush while walking to work this morning. Wednesday seems to be my puke day. Please, second tri, come soon!

    3) Any appointments this week?     No appt until mid-Sept. I’m fine with that, got to see baby a week ago.

    4) R/R/Q     I’m considering buying a Doppler, now that I’m a little further along. However, a week ago my tilted uterus was still tilted, and my placenta is anterior. Should I buy one now, or are my chances of hearing anything at this point still low?

    5) GTKY: What part of motherhood are you most excited about?     Besides finally being able to hold my baby, I can’t wait till they’re a little older and I can start teaching them stuff. I remember being 4-5 and crafting with my mom and it was so much fun! Hopefully this kid will be into arts and crafts, otherwise I won’t have much to teach them. :D

    1) How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
    15 weeks, an avocado or an orange!

    2) How are you feeling?
    Good for the most part, just still exhausted!  I only got 8 hrs of sleep last night and today is rough.

    3) Any appointments this week?
    2nd blood draw for sequential testing is today, next real appointment is next week.

    4) R/R/Q
    I am behind on the projected weight gain trend graph and it is stressing me out! 

    5) GTKY: What part of motherhood are you most excited about?
    Watching them interact with their surroundings and absorb information.

    15w5d.. a light bulb/orange?

    2) How are you feeling?

    Feeling much much better but with some constipation (TMI?!).  But feeling better/less pregnant makes my crazy brain feel like something is wrong, so anxiety is high.

    3) Any appointments this week?

    No- no appts until the 28th.

    4) R/R/Q

    @grebretso I was thinking of getting a Doppler too but I’m the same boat with anterior placenta so not sure if it will work yet.  I think I’ll wait until right after I hear the heart beat at my next appt (so if I can’t find the heartbeat I won’t drive myself even crazier than I currently am).

    5) GTKY: What part of motherhood are you most excited about?

    Snuggles and watching my hubby caring for his mini me.

    1) How many weeks are you? How big is baby?

    14 weeks as big as a peach

    2) How are you feeling?

    Still tired, food aversions not so bad, and round ligament pain is REAL. I think my uterus moved up :)

    3) Any appointments this week?

    Nope. Waiting 1 week for the next ultrasound.

    4) R/R/Q

    Thinking about starting a registry soon but overwhelmed at what the baby truly needs  

    5) GTKY: What part of motherhood are you most excited about?

    Being a mom :)

    14 weeks, 3ish inches

    2) How are you feeling?
    Pretty good. It still doesn't feel very real though. The other day I was super excited to go buy my first bit of baby clothes, I walked into the store and a weird imposter feeling came over me. I sorted had to force myself to stick to my plan. (The terrible gender neutral options didn't help!)

    3) Any appointments this week?
    A monthly checkup with my GP next monday. 

    4) R/R/Q
    Bi-weekly check-ins seem like a good idea to me. But I'm probably not the best judge. I haven't posted regularly in the past two weeks.      :D 

    5) GTKY: What part of motherhood are you most excited about?
    Holding my LO for the first time, watching them grow into their own little person, and watching DH become a dad. I'm so excited for that last one. I suspect he is going to be amazing.
