kristimh80 · August 2018

Due date: 3/28

Any appointments? Questions?: Just blood work this week as they are weaning me off progesterone shots & estrogen.

Rants/Raves?: Thankful my husband has been so supportive and always looking out for me lately. Some of his worries are silly, but it's sweet to know he cares.

How are you feeling?: Pretty good! Better once I can kick this pasta & pizza craving lol

GTKY: What is your biggest accomplishment? Getting pregnant was a huge accomplishment for me. Went thru a CP, fertility treatments, then IVF and on round 2 we got lucky with my last embryo.

HoneyBear40 · August 2018

Due date: 3/29

Any appointments? Questions?: TODAY, TODAY, TODAY! Finally have an appointment today! It's an "interview" with the nurse and I don't remember our last one but I really hope we listen for a heartbeat afterwards *fingers crossed*

Rants/Raves?: Raving about DH who was a solo parent Friday-last night while I was at work and then traveling to Ohio for a bridal shower/bachelorette party weekend. We've got a potty training terrible 2 kiddo and they both survived!

How are you feeling?: For the most part pretty good. Eating every hour on the hour though otherwise I feel nauseous - need to start making sure it's healthy food cause jeepers. Been having some pain on my left side at the bottom of my stomach the end of everyday but otherwise just waiting to actually look pregnant

GTKY: What is your biggest accomplishment? This one is hard to answer...I really feel like raising a child for 2 years is what I would consider my biggest accomplishment because nothing else seems as major now.

kristimh80 · August 2018

@HoneyBear40 Hope your nurse interview goes well today!!!

HoneyBear40 · August 2018

@kristimh80 Nurse interview went well but that was all it was

well, the interview and they put in an order for a blood draw which I went ahead and did since I was so close to the hospital lab instead of trying to find a time to go back. 18 days until my ultrasound and doctor follow-up, not that I'm counting

kristimh80 · August 2018

@HoneyBear40 That's great things went well! I'm bummed for you that you didn't get to hear the heartbeat today! A gf in our couples small group is going to give me her doppler to use for that reason alone...nothing else, for reassurance and to check in between appts. Hopefully the next few weeks go super fast for you!

purpleteacher82 · August 2018

Due date: a March 24

Any appointments? Questions?: 12 week appt is 2 weeks from today. Anxious to hear that heartbeat!

Rants/Raves?: My brain is fried so I can’t think of any!

How are you feeling?: Tired! A little nauseous sometimes. Some random pains in lower abdomen.

GTKY: What is your biggest accomplishment? Getting my BA and becoming a teacher.

Bonnesetter27 · August 2018

Due date: March 29

Any appointments? Questions?: Not this week. NIPT next week.

Rants/Raves?: I've thrown up a lot this pregnancy. Today, nothing, now I'm worried.

How are you feeling?: Outside of today awful.

GTKY: What is your biggest accomplishment? Having 2 awesome kids.

sejica · August 2018

Due date: 3/25

Any appointments? Questions?: I had to reschedule my chiropractic appt for tomorrow morning because I totally flaked on it and forgot it today. Next ob visit is 9/10.

Rants/Raves?:

How are you feeling?: nausea comes and goes, but I've also been getting charley horses, which is a problem because I'm having a water aversion. Super not helpful.

GTKY: What is your biggest accomplishment? Buying my first apartment building at 21, hopefully I'll sell it by the end of this year (I'm 36 now). At one point I owned 19 units spread over 3 properties. Now I'm just down to the original 6 unit building.

HoneyBear40 · August 2018

@sejica Your accomplishment is so awesome! We have 1 rental house and I fear DH wants to become the monopoly man LOL

babya422 · August 2018

Due date: March 29

Appointments? Questions? Next appointment is September 12.

Rants/Raves? Our students started school yesterday and even lie this class is lower academically than last year, the students have really strong school routines and I’m hopeful we’ll have a lot of growth this year. That being said, I’m already sad I’m gonna miss the end of the year. It’s the time we really start to see that growth.

How is are you feeling? Mostly good. I’m still getting headaches and am generally exhausted.

GTKY: What is your biggest accomplishment?
That would probably be learning and becoming fluent in Spanish.

shinyobjects · August 2018

Due date: Today Dr. moved it back one day, so now March 27!

Any appointments? Questions?: Saw my doctor today. She brought in a Doppler so I got to hear the heartbeat which I wasn’t expecting, and hb was strong. Got prelude prenatal screen today to check for chromosome issues, so I’m excited that’s in the works as that’s a milestone for me. Plus we’ll find out baby’s sex wth the results in a week! And she answered all my questions. No, it’s not weird that I’m cold all the time. Especially since I live in Texas where AC in summer is extreme.

Rants/Raves?: adding to the hubby praise. He’s been amazing at keeping me calm and just helping me keep everything in perspective and feeling good. And getting me to be more active. Rant-seriously the AC in Texas is insane.

How are you feeling?: Still tired, but better. The boob pain is intense and near constant, but I finally cracked and bought new bras so hope that will help. No big nausea/vomiting, so I feel very lucky in that regard.

GTKY: What is your biggest accomplishment? Moving to a foreign country (Israel) by myself for a year and becoming fluent in the language and creating an art therapy program for at risk kids there.

kristimh80 · August 2018

@distractedbyshinyobjects Hi there! I'm in Texas too and I agree....I'm always freezing!!! My boss just asked "do you really want it on 75 in here"? Hmm yes...I sit at a desk and she has the fan on so I'm still chilly lol

kristimh80 · August 2018

HoneyBear40 · August 2018

Add me to the ready for 2nd trimester group

kristimh80 · August 2018

@HoneyBear40 It's ok...we may land there together! I figure this baby will land on my anniversary at the beginning of April lol
