Re: Group 4 (Sep.23-30) Check-In w/o Jan 14-20
Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: Sep 27th, 3 weeks + 3 days
Baby is the size of a(n): chia seed
Upcoming Appointments: I haven't made an appointment with an OB yet, it's still sinking in.
How are you feeling?: Great! I know that I probably have another 3 weeks of feeling this way and then the morning sickness will hit. I might make up some freezer meals to help for the next 3 months.
Rants/Raves: Just praising God for answering our prayers! We've prayed for this baby for 9 months, and it's finally happening!
Questions: not right now
GTKY: Would you prefer a vacation in the mountains or vacation at the beach, and why? Beach! I love the sun and just chilling on the beach watching the waves.
Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: 9/23 - 4W6D (this is confusing me because different apps have different timing)
Baby is the size of a(n): poppy seed
Upcoming Appointments: none yet I have reached out to a new midwifery practice
How are you feeling?: nauseous and tired. this might also be part of staying home with a sick toddler.
Rants/Raves: I am "working" from home today with my daughter. We only made it two hours before the t.v. went on and I feel like a horrible mom. But it is cold outside and the poor thing has been stuck inside with her toys for a week. I am planning on bringing her back to daycare tomorrow - she seems to be completely over her pneumonia.
Questions: Anyone actually believe they are pregnant yet? I had been making plans thinking it wasn't going to happen for a long time!
GTKY: Would you prefer a vacation in the mountains or vacation at the beach, and why? RIght now - beach. Going to the mountains pregnant with Bells would be a disaster. But I usually love hiking and hope to do that more as the kids get older. We are going on a beach vacation in two weeks and can't wait

Due with #2 Baby Arya EDD February 2020
It's still so unreal that I'm pregnant! I keep thinking of all the things we have to do before the baby comes.
@leksiL Sorry about your sick kiddo. My daughter had walking pneumonia for 3 months before the doctor advised us to take her in. And you're not a bad mom. Like @marebear15 said, you just need to do what you need to to get through the day! As long as it's not on all day every day.
I still can't believe I'm pregnant either. Not having many symptoms yet (at least directly related to being pregnant) doesn't really help it sink in.
Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: 9/23, 4 weeks today
Baby is the size of a(n): Poppy Seed
Upcoming Appointments: February 6th!
How are you feeling?: Mostly fine. I have an internal hemmerhoid that I've had for years. It usually doesn't bug me, but between needing to pee more often and more gas that pregnancy brings it is hurting quite a bit this morning. Hope it doesn't continue or get worse over the next 9 months.
Rants/Raves: It's Monday, 'nuff said.
Questions:
GTKY: Would you prefer a vacation in the mountains or vacation at the beach, and why? I don't think I could decide. I love listening to the waves at night, but I also love the seclusion that a mountain vacation can bring. I love looking at stars, so it would be a lot of fun to do that in the mountains.
Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: 9/27/3w 3d
Baby is the size of a(n): chia seed
Upcoming Appointments: None yet. I do have an annual today which was supposed to be an dating u/s appt but I had a loss last month. I'm not even sure if I'll bring it up or not today.
How are you feeling?: Not terrible. I have an upper respiratory infection and some lower back discomfort but other than that, not bad!
Rants/Raves: just glad to have a bfp!
Questions:
GTKY: Would you prefer a vacation in the mountains or vacation at the beach, and why?
Probably the mountains because I live next to the beach so it would be nice to switch things up
Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: Based on apps, my EDD is 9/24 and based on my LMP I should be right at 4 weeks today.
Baby is the size of a(n): poppyseed
Upcoming Appointments: First prenatal appt on February 7th
How are you feeling?: Some nausea, tired, and emotions all over the place. Some achy-ness/mild cramping in my lower abdomen, and I had some spotting today but trying not to think anything of it until I see the doctor. I told myself I wasn't going to get too excited about this until i was further along given my history but durn it I was crushed to see that spotting. Maybe it's nothing, we'll see.
Rants/Raves: Nothing currently
Questions: Nothing currently
Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: 9.24/ 3 + 6
Baby is the size of a(n): Changing from a blastocyst to an embryo
Upcoming Appointments: MFM on 1.17
How are you feeling?: Great! Normal
Rants/Raves: Lines got darker on HPT this morning
Questions: How does the Pregnancy Tracker work on FF? Do we get to see a chart for temps or is it just a list of “your body, your baby”?
GTKY: Would you prefer a vacation in the mountains or vacation at the beach, and why? Beach all the way. I love to lounge & relax (i.e. be lazy) in the sunshine with a cold beverage. Heaven!
Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: 9.24, 3 + 6
Baby is the size of a(n): I get to be an embryo tomorrow!
Upcoming Appointments: Betas today and again on Wednesday.
How are you feeling?: Kinda cruddy but nothing I can really complain about. Just an annoying headache and very thirsty
Rants/Raves: First beta came back at 241, but Wednesday's number will be the true test. I'm so relieved it's not like 7, or something
Questions: Any pregnancy tracking apps you guys like?
GTKY: Would you prefer a vacation in the mountains or vacation at the beach, and why? I'd have to say beach b/c there's nothing better then hearing those waves crash.
Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: 9/23
Baby is the size of a(n): Poppy seed I guess
Upcoming Appointments: Betas today and Wednesday
How are you feeling?: Okay today. I have been so busy at work, I haven't really had time to feel much of anything.
Rants/Raves: I still haven't got my first beta back and the wait is killing me. I probably won't have time to do any tags today. I get off work soon and then have a 5 hour drive for a meeting I have early tomorrow morning. I wanted to check in and let you know all is well for now
.
Questions: Nada
GTKY: Would you prefer a vacation in the mountains or vacation at the beach, and why? I live in the mountains, but I would probably still say the mountains. I love mountain towns. I was able to visit Big Sky, MT last month and loved it. Now I'm hoping to go to White Fish and really any other Montana adventures.
Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: Sept 28, 3w2d
Baby is the size of a(n): chia seed
Upcoming Appointments: blood work tomorrow & 1st appt on Feb 25th
How are you feeling?: Pretty good...bobs feel HUGE and sore, feeling emotional.
Rants/Raves: Tried to quit coffee today.....I teach kindergarten. Those 2 things do not mix. I'm going to allow myself a small cup tomorrow!
Questions: None yet.
GTKY: Would you prefer a vacation in the mountains or vacation at the beach, and why?
Definitely beach...sun, sun, sun!
BFP: 1/13/19 * EDD: 9/28/2019
@nomangos23 Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m so sorry for your loss as well. It is so so hard to experience at that stage, and then hard to embrace this current joy 100% without nerves. Praying for us both!
@crs89 I just made a “1st Trimester Tips” inspired by your coffee dilemma.
@houseofgold - I'm sorry about your loss, but so happy that you are back here with a BFP. I also live near the beach!
@klpv415 - Hopefully the spotting is nothing to worry about!
@keikilove - That is so comforting to see the lines darken on the test! Do you have the VIP FF? Because I can't find what you're talking about.
@kgg2241 - Did your betas come back yet? Good luck with your meeting this morning!
@crs89 - My boobs feel huge too. And tbh, I didn't ever cut out coffee (except when morning sickness forced me to) in my first pregnancy. I just limited myself to one small cup. My OB said to keep my caffeine consumption under 200mg.
@marebear15 Yep, I think the lines are darker because yesterday was 1st day of missed period. Very reassuring. As far as FF, I thought maybe the Pregnancy Tracker was like the regular charting & I’d be able to track temps on it or see something visual. But on my regular FF chart I have a huge red warning to STOP tracking on the regular ovulation chart, and instead to click on “More” and then use the “Pregnancy Tracker”. But this is all it is, no fun or frills (see pic below). Yep, I have the VIP but I think I will let it expire in 20 more days.
PS: Fun Fact: I’m still charting my temps anyway on the regular FF chart app & adding my symptoms of cramps, fatigue, & positive tests. It STILL gives me ONLY 33 points for “pregnancy likelihood” lol.
BFP: 1/13/19 * EDD: 9/28/2019
@keikilove - Ah okay, I don't have the VIP so I was wondering what you had. That pregnancy tracker looks kind of boring, lol. But their whole app needs a face lift anyways.
@crs89 - I remember my last pregnancy, as soon as MS lifted around 14 weeks, I chugged a ice coffee (small of course) just because I could finally stand the taste of it again. I'm already off coffee for fertility purposes, so I probably won't try to add it back in until around 4 months.

@crs89 - Yay for one cup of coffee! I had some soda last night and that was good. I don't really worry about what I eat or drink, bring on the sushi!
