GTKY: What is your ideal date night?
People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.
How I feel all of the time.

Re: Group 2 (August 8th-14th) Checkin: w/o 12/16
Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed, I think
Upcoming Appointments: January 8th
How are you feeling?: Nauseated. Some days are just mild and other days I dry heave so hard I give myself a stomachache. My boobs hurt SO. BAD. and I'm very moody. Also crazy tired.
Rants/Raves: If my mother in law tells me one more time that "my morning sickness will pass soon enough," I will scream. 1: I'm not even 6 weeks yet. It's not going anywhere for at least 6 more weeks, possibly more. 2: THIS IS MY THIRD CHILD, I AM AWARE HOW M/S WORKS.
Questions: Nada
GTKY: What is your ideal date night?: A cozy table at someplace cool that serves awesome, local, hipster beers. A babysitter that's willing to either stay late into the evening or overnight so we don't have to be in a rush. (This almost never. happens.)

Baby is the size of a(n): sweet pea
Upcoming Appointments: Wednesday! I’m not sure if I’m getting my first ultrasound or not... I hope so!
How are you feeling?: Good. Boobs are pretty sore and my stomach is perma-growling.
Rants/Raves: we just moved out of NYC to the suburbs on Saturday, poor timing to say the least!
Questions: None for now.
GTKY: What is your ideal date night? A nice dinner and maybe something fun like mini golf.
Baby is the size of a(n): Ladybug :-)
Upcoming Appointments: 12/31 - first ultrasound and blood work appointment
How are you feeling?: Exhausted, really sore chest, a little crampy, but oh so happy/excited!!!!
Rants/Raves: None
Questions: None

Baby is the size of a(n): sweet pea
Upcoming Appointments: Jan 8
How are you feeling?: so horrible. I might have to get meds for nausea cause this is just horrific.
Rants/Raves: I’ve been up for 3 hours puking. I have to go to work and do overtime and then go to my in laws and finish moving and cleaning the rest of the house. No raves lol
Questions: nothing
GTKY: What is your ideal date night? A surprise. My bf used to be so good with cute surprise dates. Even just come home to my fave take out and a movie on the couch.
FORMER USERNAME: @runningisrad
Baby is the size of a(n): According to Bump, as tall as the end of a match
Upcoming Appointments: January 11th for confirmation ultrasound
How are you feeling?: Today is the first real day I've felt terrible. I have a bad headache and I have no medicine to take to help. It's making my eyes feel dizzy. And almost everything I've put in my mouth today has made me nauseous.
Rants/Raves: We ended up telling my dad, sister, and brother about the pregnancy this past weekend as we did an early Christmas and they live in another state so I didn't know when I would next see them in person. They said Congrats and all, but for the most part, no one seemed THAT excited (except my dad). Kinda bummed me out but texted with my sister earlier and she realized she didn't really react right and apologized.
Questions: Not at the moment.
GTKY: What is your ideal date night? Going out to a nice dinner (sans DD) and doing something new and fun. But also totally down for just sitting and watching a movie at home and doing nothing.
@runningisrad and @kels0091, is the nausea brought on by certain triggers (i.e., foods) or is it all the time?

Upcoming Appointments:
Dec 28th- ultrasound! Yay!
How are you feeling?:
So far, so good.
Rants/Raves:
People assuming we are only having another baby because want a girl, since we have 3 boys. Not cool.
Questions: None
GTKY: What is your ideal date night?
Hubs and I are super low key, anything casual is good by us!
Baby is the size of a(n): Sweet Pea
Upcoming Appointments: None yet 🤦🏻♀️ shame on me I know
How are you feeling?: Stressed. Hubs and i live in a little podunk town with a not so great selection of obgyns and a less than stellar hospital. My last pregnancy i moved in temporarily with my parents to have access to better big city doctors and medical facilities, that’s not an option this time. So it looks like the closest acceptable hospital and obgyn is at least an hours drive away which is stressing me out..
Rants/Raves: Hubs and I had kind of accepted that we weren’t going to have another child after two very stressful years of trying to conceive. When we finally came to terms with it we started doing lots of modifications to my jeep wrangler (lifting it three inches and getting bigger tires at the expense of fuel efficiency and comfort). Now i’m thinking about having to drag my big ol pregnant self up into that behemoth and stand driving around in it. I love my Jeep and i don’t want another car and i don’t want my husband to take it over and move me i to a mom-mobile. Also if my dog doesn’t stop barking every five minutes i’m going to lose my mind. I love my dog but she’s working my last nerve at the moment.
Questions:
GTKY: What is your ideal date night?
A nice dinner date at this super boujee movie theatre i went to once. Each seat was its own power recliner/super plush sofa and they give you a fresh pillow and blanket when you’re seated. The sangria and lobster rolls were divine!!! It’s way too rich for my blood to make it an every date night thing but for an anniversary date, momma likey.
Baby is the size of a(n): sweet pea
Upcoming Appointments: first u/s on Dec 27!
How are you feeling?: so very tired and nauseous! Every morning I feel like I got hit by a truck right in my boobs.
Rants/Raves: I am already annoyed with the ‘welcome to the next 18 years of your life’ comments. I don’t even know an appropriate response to that. To not be a total whiner, I’m so happy to finally have my own LO 😍 can’t wait!
Questions: all of the questions. Once I have an ultrasound and it’s medically confirmed, and Christmas goes away, I’m sure I’ll start thinking more clearly and prepping more! For now, no questions.
GTKY: What is your ideal date night? Cook for me. A bagel or crackers preferably 🤢
How are you feeling?: Queasy and lethargic. Also really anxious and nervous because it's so early.
Rants/Raves: I'm just so thankful for this little bean.
Questions: Nope
Baby is the size of a(n): Sweet pea
Upcoming Appointments: first one Jan 11
How are you feeling?: totally normal, so far!
Rants/Raves: unexpectedly pregnant which is a little overwhelming and my clothes already feel tight. Im starting up Barre3 again and I intend to work our this entire pregnancy since with my other three I NEVER did.
Questions: not really, it’s my 4th time around!
GTKY: What is your ideal date night? Soaking and massages!!!!
baby is the size of a blueberry☺️
Appts: had first one on Dec 17 because per LMP I was 7 weeks at that time but ovulation was off so was an early appt n second ultrasound to be done at 10w on Jan 15.
An feeling so sick!! Have nausea on and off all day and night. Have not thrown up yet but dry heave randomly. I had a lot of cramping the last two weeks but that is slowly getting better. Sore boobs and problems with constipation
rants/raves: first pregnancy and so so excited!!! Think it is gonna be a girl so guess will see if my feeling is right!
questions: Does the nausea decrease after 12 weeks?
Ideal date night: dressing up and going out for supper then coming home and relaxing and cuddling with my man. Doesn’t take much to make me happy lol
For most, morning sickness subsides by the 2nd trimester, but everyone is different!
