What's going on this week? We are announcing to my IL’s this week! MIL and SFIL found out yesterday (they had already asked H if I was pregnant because I shared an article about maternity leave 🙄) so that was less exciting than expected. We are telling FIL, SMIL, and H’s step sisters (and kids) on Sunday, then will share with extended family and close friends via text. I’m ready to be able to talk about it more openly!

How far along are you? 8+5

Anyone have an appointment this week? Nope, nothing until NT scan on 2/15!

Cravings/Symptoms? Sore boobs, no other symptoms. Thought about peeing on something for some peace of mind, but then read more about the hook effect and didn’t want to risk getting more concerned.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? I’ve ranted already about how MIL ruined our announcement to them. She’s been texting me today and I know she’s excited, I just wish she had let us tell her our way. Ready for this weekend to be here!

Questions? Not at the moment.

GTKY: What do you do to relax/unwind/destress? Read, snuggle with our dogs on the couch, watch TV, hot bath with a glass of wine (not lately though! ☹️)

purplg8r · January 2019

@dogmomma096 ugh! I’m sorry your MIL ruined it for you!!

What's going on this week? Not much really

How far along are you? 10w today

Anyone have an appointment this week? I have my first appt with my OB on Wednesday

Cravings/Symptoms? Nope. The only thing really is the insomnia but that’s probably from all the worrying.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? I got a home Doppler and found her heartbeat tonight so that’s exciting!

Questions?

GTKY: What do you do to relax/unwind/destress? Read, cuddle with my puppy

grangerhp37 · January 2019

@purplg8r I’ve been considering getting a Doppler, would love to hear the heart beat at home!!

zamoraspin · January 2019

@dogmomma096 Yeah HPTs become pretty useless at this stage. You’re more likely to scare yourself!
@purplg8r I feel like the progesterone causes insomnia. Plus also the needing to pee more often. That’s so cool you were able to find the HB.

What's going on this week? We graduated from the RE this past week, although she also said if the OB’s office isn’t going to do a scan around 10w we could come back to her office.

How far along are you? 9w3d today

Anyone have an appointment this week? We had an appt at 8w5d and the baby looked great. We have our first appt at the OB’s office this Tuesday and I don’t know exactly what we’ll be doing - the scheduling person said something about me seeing the NP first and I’m not sure if that is NP first and the the dr that day or at a later appt.

Cravings/Symptoms? Sore boobs. Food aversions, which seem to be less this weekend.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? We went to an event last night and my feet still hurt from my shoes! Also I ordered a couple maternity wear clearance items and they came this week. Why have we all been wearing regular pants all this time when maternity pants exist, lol.

Questions? Once you’re with your OB how often do you go see them?

jrm_14 · January 2019

@purplg8r That’s so exciting to hear the HB at home! Is your H loving that, too?

@zamora_spin I’m with you on maternity pants. This pregnancy has been, “Today, I’m pregnant. So today, I am wearing maternity clothes.”

@dogmomma096 While I’m glad your MIL is excited, that is disappointing she asked something that should never really be asked.

@avrilmail After weeks of reading about your bagels & forgetting to purchase some, I finally remembered. I’m so excited for some delicious bagels&cream cheese!

What's going on this week? Nothing out of the ordinary is on my schedule this week. MH scheduled a painter to come look at matching samples this week, though. I am beyond excited.

How far along are you? 9+2

Anyone have an appointment this week? My next RE appt is 02/05.

Cravings/Symptoms? I have had 0 appetite. I’m hungry, and then I have food & eat 2 bites before I’m finished. The heartburn is unreal.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? We had date night last night. It involved 0 pregnancy/baby talk, which was really nice, actually. As antsy as I am, modified bed rest has been a nice break to bot constantly be working on something in the house.

Questions? Not right now.

GTKY: I love baths. I could live in the tub with a good bath bomb & some candles. I also enjoy baking & listening to audio books on my daily commute.

Avrilmai · January 2019

@jrm_14 yay for bagels! Glad the modified best rest is working for you. Sometimes it is good to be told to just stop and rest.
@zamora_spin where did you get your maternity wear? with my OB it will be once every 4 weeks until 28/30 weeks then it is every 2 weeks and then weekly at 36 weeks. Those initial appts that are every 4 weeks are going to be difficult to get adjusted to after seeing an RE.
@purplg8r so exciting that you get to hear the HB whenever you want to.
@dogmomma096 sorry your announcement was ruined. How did it go with the rest of the family?

What's going on this week? OB appt this week and I'll get a peek at this LO again

How far along are you? 10+4

Cravings/Symptoms? definitely having sore boobs, well more like they're heavy and my bras are getting a bit snug. Still working through the food issues. I do okay with breakfast and lunch but by dinner time I'm not interested in eating. I've had toast or cereal for dinner for the last week. with the exception of french fries on friday night.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? DH is not feeling well and I'm not feeling so great either. We were both wiped out by like 8pm last night.

Questions?

GTKY: What do you do to relax/unwind/destress? watch sitcoms that I'm very familiar with The Office, Parks and Rec, we're re-watching Brooklyn 9-9. they make me laugh and I don't have to think too much.

zamoraspin · January 2019

@avrilmai Motherhood Maternity - @purplg8r mentioned a sale in another thread and I have trouble saying no to clearance sales... I got some pants, a couple dresses, and two "maternity" cardigans/kimonos. The cardigan/kimono things were the only things I bought that were more than about $10, and they are in no way maternity specific and were still under $20... totally wearing one right now with a black jumpsuit.
I agree the monthly appt thing seems hard to adjust to. It might compel me to get a doppler in a few more weeks because I can see myself spinning out after a couple weeks.

grangerhp37 · January 2019

@prplg8r I’m so glad you were able to find the heartbeat with your Doppler! I’m sure it’s a beautiful sound.
@zamora_spin I tried mat pants on for the first time earlier and idk if I’ll ever go back to normal pants!! All pants should have a stretchy panel around your waist.
@Avrilmai Announcing to the rest of the family went great! Definitely made us feel better. I hope you and your H feel better soon!

purplg8r · January 2019

@zamora_spin oh! I didn’t know it could be the progesterone! Only 10 shots left!

@jrm_14 he was home for the first time tonight to hear it. He said “oh cool!” Gave me a kiss and then went back downstairs 🤷‍♀️ What did you guys do for date night?

@Avrilmai DH is sick too and I keep making him was his hands (never mind that I teach a bunch of first graders that literally snot all over me lol). I hope you guys feel better soon!

chichiphin · January 2019

**lurky loo** popping in to mention ThredUP online consignment. They have "new with tags" items from several expensive maternity brands. Just got two dresses, each 20 bucks.

jrm_14 · January 2019

@purplg8r I’m sure YH is thrilled despite his lack of appearent enthusiasm! We went to dinner at a new local restaurant & then to buy dog food. We were home by 8pm. My kind of night!

suzycupcake · January 2019

Thanks @chichiphin!!
