Re: Week 3 Check In 9/17
Any appointments? Questions?: Along with a hair and wax appt, our evac made me have to cancel my midwife appt. I need to call and reschedule this morning.
Rants/Raves?: My office is still covered in mold! They brought in fans and dehumidifiers, which makes me think the problem is bigger or they have no intention of doing anything soon. At least it affects my office supervisor too, who has a lot more pull to get stuff done.
How are you feeling?: Ok. Did a lot of walking barefoot in our host’s house and now my outer toes hurt/feel numb.
GTKY: What is the best meal you’ve ever had? We did a road trip through Big Sur and had lunch at a cliff top restaurant/resort that was mind blowing! Totally worth whatever we paid for it.
Any appointments? Questions?: none this week. and feeling very chill about it.
Rants/Raves?: ranting bc my sis is getting married next month and i have a feeling i wont be fitting into an expensive enough bridesmaid dress and freaking out about what i can do about it in this short time frame. STM and my stomach is making its presence known. sigh.
How are you feeling?: pretty good physically. emotionally me and bf have been going at it lately, and i had to make a decision on my end to consciously be more loving to him, because this is his first child and was a shock to him so he is definitely going through some emotions right now.
GTKY: What is the best meal you’ve ever had? i'm basic and my favorite thing is Red Lobster...so anytime i can get a plate full of crab legs...its my best meal ever. LOL
@meggyme
Theres a zipper in the back...my only hope is that the sash part is up under my chest...so if i dont expand right there, the bottom is fluttery so maybe my belly will be ok.
Any appointments? Questions?: I don’t go again until sept 27. I can’t wait to hear the heartbeat again 💕
Rants/Raves?: my rant and how I’m feeling go together this week
How are you feeling?: I’ve been feeling pretty good, except my brother and his family spread this stomach bug to everyone. So the past couple days I’ve been nauseous and dizzy, plus taking care of my 3 yo. It also made me lose 3 pounds. So I’m down 3 pounds from my prepregnancy weight. My dr is annoyingly into weight so I hope he doesn’t give me any grief for it.
GTKY: What is the best meal you’ve ever had? Scallops and prime filet mignon with Mac and cheese at Morton’s on my honeymoon in San Fran.
Any appointments? Questions?: I have an appointment this afternoon! I've already had way more than I expected at this point, but still can't wait to hear the heartbeat.
Rants/Raves?: I got the results of my NIPT yesterday - Low risk AND girl!!! I didn't have the contact info for the doc I was seeing for this, so I called the nurse I saw on my first appt to see if they were in. She was not familiar with how to read the results, so she told me boy, and that she'd have to call me back with the rest of the info. So I called my husband and told him that I was right, it was a boy, I knew it, maternal instincts, blah blah. She called back two minutes later saying she was looking at the wrong thing and it is a girl
How are you feeling?: Still have a ton of food aversions, but overall amazing. And had a scan last week showing no trace of an SCH, so was able to start light jogging and lifting again.
GTKY: What is the best meal you’ve ever had? Two answers: 1) was at a really nice Japanese restaurant with my husband and my parents after being away for a while, and we tried a ton of different kind of sushi/sashimi, steaks, and other small plates, plus cocktails and wine. So so good, and had an amazing time. 2) Domino's pizza after coming out of the woods at survival school where you barely eat for five days
Any appointments? Questions?: Had an appointment yesterday, heard the heartbeat and all is well - and took my NPIT test, so can't wait for the results of that. If it's a girl I will have to get some clothes since all I have are boy things - definitely didn't save DD's stuff from 12 years ago.
Rants/Raves?: rave, DD's birthday party is coming up this weekend so there will be cake, which I have been craving for several days now.
How are you feeling?: feeling better, still have random bouts of nausea in the evenings but I'll take it - much better than I was doing before. of course now I caught a cold from my niece, but hoping that goes away soon.
GTKY: What is the best meal you’ve ever had? my husband makes the best bbq ribs - I can't order ribs in a restaurant anymore because his are better and I'm always left disappointed in what the restaurant's offering.
Any appointments? Questions?: Had a follow up OB appt at 14w2d yesterday. Baby’s heartbeat was strong and all is progressing nicely! Also received results for my NIPT, NT and carrier screening - everything is all good and no additional testing is necessary at this time so we’re thrilled. NIPT revealed the gender (and confirmed during the NT U/S) but we’re keeping it a secret until we see my grandma in December for her 100th (!!) birthday! This PGAL girl is SO happy to officially be in the second tri!
Rants/Raves?: Back from our early babymoon and getting into the swing of things workwise. Now that we’re in the second tri, looking forward to sharing the big news with our parents soon!
How are you feeling?: MS has calmed a bit but I still need to use the restroom every 1-2 hours! Haha
GTKY: What is the best meal you’ve ever had? My go to meal is the pork ossobucco at Arrivederci in San Diego. It melts in your mouth and the flavors are unreal.
Any appointments? Questions?: Had my 12 week checkup and heard the heart beat going strong at 164. Is there anything in the world that sounds that good??
Rants/Raves?: Sorry I've been MIA from this check-in, I just feel like my appointments are so far apart and the time in between is so boring because I have no updates! But hey, uneventful is good I guess
How are you feeling?: Nausea and fatigue are pretty much gone. Totally loving feeling my LO moving and grooving in there
GTKY: What is the best meal you’ve ever had? When I lived in Spain, I would go out with a big group of girlfriends once a week for tapas (small plates/appetizers). There was one night that was particularly good and fun. Lots of tinto de verano (red wine mixed with orange fanta), calamari, prosciutto, cheeses... so delicious and so fun.
Last weekend we went out to eat and I wanted to get a charcuterie platter, but it was all cold meats, soft cheeses, smoked fish.... darn it!
Any appointments? Questions?: had my first centering appointment at my birth center. It’s a group appointment. It was interesting and I’m looking forward to seeing how the group evolves! Also heard the HB and got the results of the genetic test and everything looks great!
Rants/Raves?: I think I have a cold coming on! But otherwise it is my okdest’s hirthday this week and we are having his party this weekend so I’m looking forward to that!
How are you feeling?: depends on how bad pregnancy insomnia hits but it switches from absolutely exhausted to ok 😂
GTKY: What is the best meal you’ve ever had?
BBQ ribs and seafood from this South African steakhouse in a tiny town in Australia. I still have dreams about it!
Any appointments? Questions?: Had my appointment on the 11th. I absolutely dislike the prenatal nurse. She’s super condescending, acts like her advice is the only advice anyone should listen to and is also SUPER judgemental. I hate confrontation, but I’m going to end up saying something to her sooner than later. Because of how our city’s prenatal care is set up I will literally *have* to deal with her the rest of my pregnancy. I’m 34 and have had 3 kids already over the last 13+ years. I do not tolerate being spoken to like a dumb 16 year old knocked up teenager.
Rants/Raves?: The Dr I saw for my first prenatal was lovely! I’ll see whatever Dr or resident is on that day. She was so young but also so sweet. She didn’t hesitate to see how anxious I was over knowing there was truly a baby in there after 2 previous MCs in the past year and she pulled out the bedside US quickly to show me a moving baby! (We couldn’t find the heartbeat on Doppler but as I carry extra weight in my stomach I knew we wouldn’t)
I did however find it last night with my at home Doppler!!! So amazing!
How are you feeling?: Still sick on and off. Still on Diclectin but I can’t decide which is worse at this point the Diclectin causing low energy or the teeny bouts of nausea i’m Getting. But then I have a day like I did this past Tuesday where I threw up and was in bed all day. So i’m Going to try and cut back on the Diclectin slowly as see how that goes
GTKY: What is the best meal you’ve ever had?
hmmmm the only thing I can think of is this Chicken Pasta dish that i’ve had at Milestones. But I don’t know if i’ve Ever had a meal that completely blows my mind
