Re: Group 2 (7/9-7/16) - Week of 12/24
Baby is the size of a(n): Lime
Upcoming Appointments: None until Jan 21st
How are you feeling?: Fine. Been having a great Christmas, even with making dinner for the family (with DH's much appreciated help). I know I'm going to crash later, but the "momosas" are helping keeping me goint!
Rants/Raves: Christmas is always my favorite time of year. When the day comes I always love it. I hate how much stress precedes it, though. I really should do my Christmas shopping all year...
Questions: How did all the Christmas announcements go?!?!
GTKY: What is your absolute favorite home-cooked meal? Oh gosh, this is hard.... I love almost every soup... pasta... I just love food!
Baby is the size of a(n): lime
Upcoming Appointments: January 2nd
How are you feeling?: I’ve been feeling decent in the morning and by 12 it’s all downhill. I guess it’s better than feeling bad all day though.
Rants/Raves: we had a really nice Christmas! My 4 year old was so into it, and I loved seeing his reactions to everything. A little stressed out now because we leave for NY on Thursday. I have to work tomorrow and get packed up. Trying to figure out what to pack since it was 75 today in FL, and the highest it will be in NY is 55!
Questions: not this week
GTKY: What is your absolute favorite home-cooked meal? Both of my parents are from Venezuela and we have a food called arepas. They’re made of corn meal, and you open them up and put your choice of food in it. I love mine with black beans and white cheese!
Baby is the size of a(n): poker chip
Upcoming Appointments: January 15
How are you feeling?: I’ve been more sick than usual. Hoping it lays off soon. Also more tired than usual!
Rants/Raves: we got kicked out of my moms Christmas because my drunk step dad was grabbing me aggressively and elbowing me in the stomach. When I told him to stop he got really mad so my husband had to intervene. He tried to physically fight my husband and my husband just wanted to end the argument. So we got kicked out 😂
Questions:
GTKY: What is your absolute favorite home-cooked meal? We make these incredible Italian chicken sandwiches that I’m CRAVING but I can’t eat any meat/poultry so I’m sad.
Baby is the size of a(n): Roborovski hamster 🤷
Upcoming Appointments: 12/28 for nuchal translucency screening
How are you feeling?: Finally getting better I think - not 100%, but better
Rants/Raves: Our Christmas announcements went great! When we told my mom's side of the family, we also found out that TWO more of my cousins are also pregnant! We're all due within a month of each other 😍
Questions: nope
GTKY: What is your absolute favorite home-cooked meal? Homemade pasta with my husband's homemade carbonara!
Baby is the size of a(n): lime
Upcoming Appointments: 2nd prenatal appointment 1/7
How are you feeling?: Awful - my nose was stuffed up all day yesterday and after Christmas celebrations, I had a major case of shivers and got under my heated blanket and didn't get back up. I took my temperature to see if I had a fever and it's LOWER than normal?? Whatever. This morning my nose has been running NONSTOP. Like how could there possibly be this much snot in my body???? Pregnancy symptoms aren't as bad though thankfully.
Rants/Raves: Well I think I just ranted plenty lol. We told DH's family yesterday and they had the sweetest reactions. Total shock and lots of tears (but happy ones). His grandfather is not doing well so I think everyone appreciated a bright spot.
Questions: Is anyone else losing weight? I feel like I've been eating like total crap, I feel ENORMOUS, and I am crazy hungry but can never eat much/nothing is appealing. I keep thinking I've gained 20 lbs, but today I was down 6 total.
GTKY: What is your absolute favorite home-cooked meal? Now is not a good time to ask hahaha. I have a mushroom florentine linguine recipe that I love. Tex-mex anything is always a fave. Right now I am eating like a five year old - aka Kraft mac and cheese, applesauce, popsicles, string cheese......lol. Ready for some adult food soon.
@quinniebear I have lost weight too. I haven't vomited at all. I eat many times a day, but only have a little bit. I chalk mine up to the lack of liquid calories from alcohol. I was down around 8ish pounds, but the last I checked (on the 23rd), I'd gained two back, so overall loss of 6 lbs. I know weight loss is common in the 1st trimester and, even if you're gaining, it's supposed to be minimal. I see it as just giving me more wiggle room when I explode in the 3rd trimester!
Baby is the size of a(n): Lime
Upcoming Appointments: tomorrow for nuchal translucency
How are you feing? No complaints!
Rants/Raves: we surprised our family by putting the ultrasound in the family yankee swap - so fun!
Questions: none that I can think of surprisingly
GTKY: What is your absolute favorite home-cooked meal? Around this time I love a brown sugar glazed ham!
@bartonolivia I'm so sorry.
baby is the size of a: bobby pin apparently 🤷🏻♀️😂
appointments: mid january sometime
how are you feeling?: The constant nausea has definitely let up a bit this week so far. Hopefully that keeps improving.
rants/raves: we still havent announced this pregnancy to everyone on both sides 🙄 my SIL just had a baby and we wanted to make sure to not draw any new baby attention. At this point I am so over hiding it and i really just wish we could let everyone know
questions: how do yall copy paste these questions on a phone?! 🤦🏻♀️
GTKY: right now- spaghetti with meat sauce!
Baby is the size of a(n): Poker Chip
Upcoming Appointments: January 7th
How are you feeling?: Mostly pretty good now but I have waves of nausea/exhaustion still that come and go
Rants/Raves: Having such a hard time waiting for the NIPT results 🙈 Also, sick of people speculating whether I’m showing or not - ready to actually have a baby bump so their comments feel less hurtful
Questions: Has anyone gotten a pregnancy pillow yet? If so, any recommendations? Think I’m going to go ahead and get one soon
GTKY: What is your absolute favorite home-cooked meal? I could eat tacos every day of
the week 😊
Baby is the size of a(n): lime
Upcoming Appointments: just had first ultrasound today. Having follow up on January 7th
How are you feeling?: Very sore. My back abdomen and pelvis are killing me. On the plus the congestion insomnia and nausea have finally let up. Starting to get my energy and appetite back
Rants/Raves: so today my OB had to cancel my first appointment for an emergency and they tried postponing me until January 18th! Long story short I have a new OB and got my ultrasound done as scheduled. Bad news they diagnosed me with placenta Previa. Also I'm having to go to a funeral this weekend and I'm dreading it.
My rave though is that my Christmas was amazing and announcing to family went spectacular! Also my best friend who has been struggling to get pregnant just found out she is and we both got to celebrate the thought of our babies only being like 2 months apart!
Questions: anyone else with previa?
GTKY: What is your absolute favorite home-cooked meal?
Literally anything my dad cooks! He makes the best veitnamese food! Spring rolls, Bock choy stir fry, and his pho soup have been something I've been craving all pregnancy! Now that my parents know I think I can put in some special requests for family dinners
Baby is the size of a(n): a peanut butter cup
Upcoming Appointments: January 23
How are you feeling?: I had terrible cramping yesterday. No other concerning symptoms though. I think I just over did it on Christmas. Still not 100% today, but better.
Rants/Raves: My family is exhausting. My cousin's kid broke our TV on Christmas and of course its drama trying to get them to pay for the damages.
Questions:
GTKY: What is your absolute favorite home-cooked meal? Oh. So many things, but nothing sounds good right now so this is hard.
Baby is the size of a(n): lime (again)
Upcoming Appointments: nothing until early February I think! Although this thread has me questioning why I’m not getting the neuchal scan...
How are you feeling?: Blerg. No nausea so that’s a big plus. I’ve had a couple days with flashes of energy this week- I’ve managed to get to the gym or do a couple chores before the malaise of the afternoon sets in.
Rants/Raves: THREE people at work last week asked if I’m pregnant- not like people I’m close with. Casual acquaintances. In truth I’ve been eating like an insane person and definitely need to reel it way in. I’ll start whole30 on January 1 and I’m pretty ready.
I was also flagged to early GD testing - pretty sure it’s just my weight, I didn’t have it with DD at all. I did the one hr yesterday and got a good number back so hoping they back off some of the alarmism a bit.
Questions: anyone else feeling a racing heart most of the time? Google tells me it’s normal, but I don’t remember this symptom! (bp is checking out fine)
GTKY: What is your absolute favorite home-cooked meal? Hmmm maybe spaghetti or lasagna or steak with mushrooms and salad.
Baby is the size of a(n): plum
Upcoming Appointments: January 4th for NTS ultrasound
How are you feeling?: great!! I think my bump popped...adding a picture for your opinions! Fatigue and nausea are at bay.
Rants/Raves: I just love the holidays.
Questions: is this a bump?!
GTKY: What is your absolute favorite home-cooked meal? My momma’s chicken noodle soup!
