Forever heartburn. Looks like a 2x a day Zantac for the duration. This heat makes me sick AF and I can't do much in it.
OB next week, A/S the week after(seems so far away!)
Rant: This week has been shit.
GTKY: I haven't really thought of this. My mom was a great mom so I guess I want to be mostly like her.

EDD? 1/23
Symptoms? Feeling good now! Getting occasional kicks. Heartburn if I eat spicy food.
Upcoming appointments? Anatomy scan on Tuesday, woot woot
R/R/Q: Super looking forward to the 3 day weekend. This has been a good week. Seeing friends and getting stuff done around the house when I'm not at work.
GTKY: Is there anyone you want to emulate as a parent? Why? Or, is there someone you want to be the exact opposite of? I don't want to parent like my mom. She wasn't like this with me, but she's a helicopter mom to my niece. She also way overindulges in buying things, and I like to live a minimalist life. I try to emulate my in laws in a lot of ways. They're loving but firm and they provided financial and emotional stability to their kids.

Symptoms? Just another jump in insulin resistance.
Upcoming appointments? A/S on 9/4 and Endo on 9/12.
R/R/Q: I survived moving with my sensory-seeking 2 year old. I’m happy with where we are now, but man was packing up the house with her really trying.
GTKY: Is there anyone you want to emulate as a parent? Why? Or, is there someone you want to be the exact opposite of?
I’d like to not be so helicopter and controlling like my parents. They still act like I need to obey them and they don’t seem to trust that I am capable of making good, well-reasoned choices and I’m 32. Which is ridiculous since I’m like the least impulsive person. They also used guilt and shame on us a lot. There are some things that I would like to do from when I was a child, but overall I approach parenting differently.
Symptoms? Feeling large. Acne. Bitchy.
Upcoming appointments? AS Friday!!! So nervous.
R/R/Q: where the hell is this pregnancy glow and thick luscious hair? Instead i have acne and my fine limp hair doesnt look any better than before.
GTKY: Is there anyone you want to emulate as a parent? Why? Or, is there someone you want to be the exact opposite of? My best friend. She has 3 boys and i think shes the best mom ever. Idk what shes done but her boys are all perfect, smart, funny, and not cry babies.
Symptoms? MS still. Lots of lower gastro troubles. Food aversion still.
Upcoming appointments? Impatiently waiting for 9/14 for my A/S!
R/R/Q: a little worried that I haven't felt baby movements yet... but I know it's early still!
GTKY: Is there anyone you want to emulate as a parent? Why? Or, is there someone you want to be the exact opposite of? My sister does some things right that I think I've learned from. I see other women parent their children with empathy but strong boundaries, and that is the general guideline I'd like to have. My parents were awful -- inconsistent, verbally and emotionally and physically abusive, terrible with money so it was very feast or famine at our house. They are still very inconsistent, try to guilt trip about things, try to create a forced relationship to make up for lost time or out of their own guilt. They were youngish and had their own stuff to work through, so I am (mostly) not mad at them (anymore). I do always say that it gives me a lot more confidence as a first time parent, though: if they could raise us and we turned out okay (with the help of grandparents and church members), I can't screw it up too badly
Andrea -- FTM at 39!
EDD?
1/27
Symptoms?
Hip and back pain, headaches, tiredness
Upcoming appointments?
Had a regular checkup today
baby’s heart rate and my blood pressure were good.
Anatomy scan in 2 weeks.
R/R/Q:
HOW CAN MY BOOBS KEEP GETTING BIGGER?
Also, picking up DS is getting more difficult. There’s times when he asked me to pick him up, and I tell him I can’t. He cries, and it makes me sad.
GTKY: Is there anyone you want to emulate as a parent? Why? Or, is there someone you want to be the exact opposite of?
There’s a couple in my church that has 4 teenage boys. The boys are so respectful and kind and seem to have great relationships with their parents. I’d love to have the same relationship with my kids.

January 23
Symptoms?
Heartburn, dizziness, and finally feeling some kicks! My DH was even able to feel a kick last night!
Upcoming appointments?
A/S Friday then OB Appointmet immediately following.
R/R/Q:
Anyone else still in denial? I’m super happy but it just still doesn’t feel real! I feel like by this time last time it felt a little more real!
GTKY: Is there anyone you want to emulate as a parent? Why? Or, is there someone you want to be the exact opposite of?
hmmm not really! I love my mom and probably would follow some of the same things she did when I was little but also things I would change.
Symptoms: heartburn and definitely feeling baby's movements
Appointments: anatomy scan on wednesday
GTKY: I want to be the exact opposite of my mother. She is a compulsive worrier to the point where I wasn't allowed to do "dangerous" activities such as tobogganing. She didn't join in much with playing or activities and she doesn't say I love you or talk about feelings.
Jan 23
Symptoms?
Baby kicks are getting a little stronger but still sporadic and don't last long!
Upcoming appointments?
20 week appointment next week Tuesday (at 19 w+6)
GTKY: Is there anyone you want to emulate as a parent? Why? Or, is there someone you want to be the exact opposite of?
I feel like I'm becoming my own parent, not emulating at this point; trying to be empathetic and avoid yelling (which I fail at from time to time!); also trying to let DD share her feelings. Once DDs are older I'll try to avoid being like my parents- who were over protective and didn't let me be independent; they also paid more attention to my sister due to some of her issues (I have typical middle child syndrome lol) so I'll try to make sure both children get equal attention. I'm also trying to make sure to think about my needs and do more 'self care' than my mom did when I was growing up, making sure my needs are met makes me a better parent and wife!
