Any appointments? Questions?: Nothing happening this week
Rants/Raves?: We went back to look at last weeks house yesterday. I think it may put in an offer. It not the nicest one we have seen but needs the least amount of work in our price range. I'm freaking out.
How are you feeling?: Pretty good still. Nausea is hitting if I dont keep on top of snacking. My boobs feel worse every day and it doesn't help that DS is constantly elbowing, pushing, bumping into them.
GTKY: what would you do if you won the lottery? Pay off my house and my parents. Buy us a new one. I would rent out current one out to a nice young couple just starting out and put half of their rent into a savings acct and give it back to them as a down payment when they were ready to buy their own house. I have no idea why but always felt like I'd want to do that
Any appointments? Questions?: Nothing until Nov 16, and that's not even an u/s. I forgot how much this waiting period for the first appointment sucks!
Rants/Raves?:
How are you feeling?: Actually fantastic, which is weird. I was so nauseous starting at 6 weeks last time, and it's hard not to compare, even though I know each pregnancy is different. I have been more tired than usual and my boobs recently started hurting, though.
GTKY: what would you do if you won the lottery?: Not tell anyone. Give a bunch to my parents and siblings. Secretly start a retirement fund for my MIL, but that's it because she is irresponsible with money and is poorly prepared in general. Pay off my house and our car. I'd donate a bunch. Make sure my kids can go to any college they want. Put the rest in savings. I kind of feel like I'd still want to work to keep my mind busy/challenged... but maybe I'd just find a non-profit I feel passionately about and volunteer there.

Me: 35 | H: 40 Married Sept. 2013 DS1: Nov 11, 2016 MMC: 11/16/18 (9w6d) CP: 2/3/19 (5w3d) BFP! 8/24/19 DS2: May 10, 2020
Any appointments? Questions?: U/S at 7w this Friday
Rants/Raves?: Had a nice weekend in Portland, Maine with friends. Even though everyone know I was preggo, it was nice to have no one give me a side-eye for eating sashimi and having a ceremonial sip of sake. (Table full of doctors who know the sushi thing is basically made up). It's nice not to feel like you cease to be a person the second you get pregnant.
How are you feeling?: Nauseated, tired, sore breasts. The usual, I guess?
GTKY: what would you do if you won the lottery? (Shamelessly stolen from G1) I have thought about this a lot, for some reason. I think I would keep my job but my husband would quit. Pay off our debts, and our parents/siblings debts. Pay a lot of people to do things for us (cook, clean, run errands, etc).
Any appointments? Questions?: first appointment is a week from today.
Rants/Raves?: my husband is amazing. I feel a little bad bragging on him. But he really just is. This weekend was no fun because the nausea was just so debilitating, but he didn't complain at all. I had told him sometimes the nausea seemed worse when I was sitting or laying. Last night I was pretty close to a complete meltdown because I felt so awful and he just came and took my hand and said, let's walk around. And we did just that, walked around our little house hand in hand until I got some relief. I also burped the entire time.
How are you feeling?: not good
GTKY: what would you do if you won the lottery? Hopefully we would win enough to quit my job and move. After that it would all just be icing on the cake.
Any appointments? Questions?: US this Thursday first one this pregnancy so I’m super anxious
Rants/Raves?: not really
How are you feeling?: so tired pretty sure I fell asleep during one of my meetings I felt like I came to and had no idea where I was in my home office just like I was before
GTKY: what would you do if you won the lottery? (Shamelessly stolen from G1). Quit my job, hook everyone up I love and travel. I would probably have a third baby too if money was no object.
I’ve had two ultrasounds and betas run already. So another ultrasound next Wednesday (Halloween!) to confirm a heartbeat and we can breathe a little easier!
Rants/Raves?:
this is my first check in for Jun19! My rave is that I’m just thrilled to be here in general. I have a long history with infertility and we got pregnant naturally! It was so nice to be able to surprise my H with the news like really surprised because we stopped actively trying and i ovulated two months late so we were so lost on dates. Haha
How are you feeling?:
meh.
That’s how I feel. Headaches are coming early with this one and the nausea is creeping up fast. All I want is spicy food so I don’t feel sick.
GTKY: what would you do if you won the lottery? (Shamelessly stolen from G1)
I would of course pay off debt, take care of my family and set up college funds for my kids and my niece and nephew. After all that, i would buy a small farm with a big house and live in peace and quiet with DH. He’s a city boy so he would hate that but oh well. Lol
Good luck today, @eleven_! FX crossed your ultrasound goes well!
Due date/W+D: Somewhere around 6w 3d. My due date got knocked back a couple weeks to June 14, so I'm joining Group 2! I suspect that I'm actually around 7w 2d, based on date of ovulation and my first BFP, but I'll hopefully find out more at my next ultrasound.
Baby is the size of a(n): chocolate chip
Any appointments? Questions?: Next appointment and ultrasound are the end of November. Hopefully I'll be able to see a bit more then!
Rants/Raves?: Rant: My toddler is getting cabin fever because it has rained almost every day for a couple of weeks here and he can't go outside.Rave: My husband is really the best. I'm really lucky that I have so much support, because I am a hot mess these days!
How are you feeling?: Not the best. I'll be happy when I have more energy and less nausea. I'm pretty sure a lot of people know I'm pregnant without being told, because I look exhausted, am wearing sea bands, and am constantly drinking peppermint tea (which is not exciting at all, but helps!)
GTKY: what would you do if you won the lottery? (Shamelessly stolen from G1) I would likely be really boring about it: pay off our debts and mortgage, save for retirement and college, and fix up the house. I'd really like a more functional kitchen!
Any appointments? Questions?: no appointment until November at the 9 week mark.
Rants/Raves?: rave- so far so good on the no morning sickness front! Made it through 2 without any. Praying this one stays this way aswell!
How are you feeling?: pretty good this week. Still not showing many symptoms other than tiredness and bloating.
GTKY: what would you do if you won the lottery? Wow what wouldn't I do? I would buy my parents and hubby's parents houses. I would pay off vehicles, I would start up massive college funds for all of my notices and nephews, and I would vacation to St. Lucia for the entire winter. (From Canada, eh!)
Rants/Raves?: 3rd time around and I wish it was easier haha
How are you feeling?: yucky. MS is more like all day sickness. Throw in fatigue and I am a definite hot mess currently
GTKY: what would you do if you won the lottery? New home, help family/friends, charitable donations, some shameless shopping, vacation and then the most towards savings!
Any appointments? Questions?: trying to get into a new OB but they said they would call but didn’t so I called them. Now they will call me back Monday and she speaks with their scheduler. Hope they are more organized than they seem. The OB has been highly recommended. Next US is next Friday with my RE.
Rants/Raves?: My poor H. I’ve been in bed the whole week with extreme nausea and we canceled our vacay bc I’m sick and he’s been such a good sport about everything and taking on 99.9% of the parenting.
How are you feeling?: terrible. I can’t keep anything down and unfortunately there isn’t any more they can give me.
GTKY: what would you do if you won the lottery? Move and build our dream house, pay off any immediate family debts. Open a free clinic for my H to work at and open a Samoyed sanctuary.
