Re: Group 2 (Sept 9-15) check in w/o January 28th
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Upcoming Appointments: February 11th for prenatal work up and finally an ultrasound!
How are you feeling?: SICK. I spent most of the day on the couch yesterday. I have lost all of the weight I put on (which wasn't a ton but still). B6/unisom seem to make things worse instead of better too. With my previous kids, I was just sick in the evenings but this time it is literally all day long.
Rants/Raves: We told the kids and both sets of grandparents over the weekend. I was a little worried about how DD (3.5) would react but she's really excited.
Questions: None.
GTKY: Friends or Ozark.
Baby is the size of a(n): Blueberry
Upcoming Appointments: Follow up U/S on Feb 6th to check for growth(Previous U/S showed baby measuring behind 3 days and HB was a little slow at 82bpm)
How are you feeling?: Mostly good. I'm tired, but I'm finally over this awful cold/sore throat. *TW*I'm just really nervous that my next U/S won't show any growth or the HB will be gone or something.
Rants/Raves: I went out with a few friends over the weekend, and we went to a sports bar and I successfully fake drinked. I'm not a huge drinker to begin with, but knew it would be obvious if I didn't.

GTKY: What's your favorite series to binge watch?
The Office or Parks and Rec, I've seen both entire series over and over.
@mommyshark13 I'm a little worried how my DS will react too. He's 4.5 and haven't told him yet. I'm glad to hear she was so excited!

Baby is the size of a(n): wee raspberry
Upcoming Appointments: Not until 2/19, when I'll have MaterniT21 and my first real prenatal workup/appt
How are you feeling?: Mostly good, which freaks me out a bit (I'm PGAL). I have waves of nausea here and there, breast pain comes and goes, and I feel like most of the time I can tell something is going on in my uterus. Certainly not movement or anything, just feels like something's happening/feels different.
Rants/Raves: I'm a huge craft beer person, and I'm missing a 7-course brewer's dinner with beer pairings tonight at our favorite brewery.
Questions: none
GTKY: What's your favorite series to binge watch? I haven't binged anything in a long time, but I did binge the entire season of Instant Hotel (Australian AirBnB-type reality show) on Netflix this weekend!
My DS was only 15 months when I got pregnant with her, so i never really had to "tell" him. And then she was born just after he turned 2 and he was never jealous of her at all. Personality wise they are night and day so i was worried. We will see what happens as we go along lol
Baby is the size of a(n): Kidney bean
Upcoming Appointments: Actually headed to the doc in about an hour for an 8 week visit. I already had my dating scan last week and all was well, so my understanding is that this time is just to talk to the doctor about what to do/ expect going forward.
How are you feeling?: I had a great day with no symptoms at all on Saturday, so I did that bad thing where I went down the dark hole of Google. Then last night, m/s hit me again after taking my prenatal with dinner. So generally feeling okay today, just a nervous, emotional wreck.
Rants/Raves: We broke the news to my in-laws over the weekend! It's the first grandbaby on both sides of our family, so the reactions all around were priceless.
Questions: I know most of us worry about every little thing... any tips to help calm the nerves?
GTKY: What's your favorite series to binge watch? Lately it's been Jane the Virgin. DH is even into it with me now!
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Upcoming Appointments: tomorrow, i am scared shitless...u/s last week dr said he wanted a more detailed scan. I believe he said my lining looked strange, honestly i don't know because after he measured and told me dates and i knew it was off i kind of shut down. This is how my loss started and i just am trying to prepare for the worst tomorrow.
How are you feeling?: sad and hopeless. I feel like it's a matter of time before i lose this baby. I am trying to stay positive but i just don't want to be let down and crushed, even thou i will be regardless.
Rants/Raves: Feeling good but I always did with my other 2 successful pregnancies.
Questions: Nah
GTKY: What's your favorite series to binge watch? GoT or TWD
@mommyshark13 congrats on sharing the news! That's always exciting
hanshotfirst77 Yes on the fake drinking, I had to yesterday when I went out for brunch with some gf's.
jaykay2004 Sorry about freaking out, it;s really hard not to. Pgal is hard no matter what.
cammie0526 Good luck at your scan! Sorry about the m/s that's never fun.
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry or uncooked macaroni
Upcoming Appointments: still waiting for my Feb 6th appointment, but I will get the U/S and my 8 week consult done at the same time.
How are you feeling?: Not well. I feel like I am nauseous like 75% of the time. I am tired and have a bad headache. My boobs hurt so bad from time to time and I am tired. I know I probably sound like a winey baby so I’m sorry.
Rants/Raves: @mommyshark13 I am really worried about telling DS. He is 5 and gets so excited about babies but I know he is jealous of other kiddos too.
Questions: none
GTKY: What's your favorite series to binge watch? I like binge watching all of them, but I am rewatching How I Met Your Mother.
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry?
Upcoming Appointments: I dont have my first appointments until February, at 10 and 3 days(blood tests, questions etc) and US at 11 weeks 4 days.
How are you feeling?: nausea that comes and goes and BLOAT. Ugh .
Rants/Raves: I'm being incredibly careful as far as food and drinks but I have to say, I feel like every day I am being bombarded with articles telling me off. It's frustrating. I'm not an idiot! Gr.
Questions: I feel as though 11 weeks 4 days US is way after most others have done a first appt...
GTKY: What's your favorite series to binge watch?
Baby is the size of a(n): Blueberry
Upcoming Appointments: my FIRST appointment is 2/8.
How are you feeling?: Very nauseous all day and very tired.
Rants/Raves: Thinking I should call and see if I can get in sooner. I will be 9 weeks the day after my appointment and I haven't had any US or scans yet
Questions: none
GTKY: What's your favorite series to binge watch- Office is my every day pre-bed show.
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Upcoming Appointments: Nurse Intake visit next tuesday
How are you feeling?: same, all day Nausea, I’m so tired, boobs are sore and I have zero energy.
Rants/Raves: I just wannna feel “normal” again!
Questions: -
GTKY: What's your favorite series to binge watch? Friends and Gilmore Girls
Baby is the size of a(n): Blueberry
Upcoming Appointments: Wed for an u/s and then follow up with OB.
How are you feeling?: Still really anxious. Also very tired, nauseated randomly and SO bloated.
Rants/Raves: Rant: I am nervous about my work conference next week. Hardly any of my pants fit comfortably, but I don't want to make the move over to maternity clothes because then it will be super obvious I'm KU. Definitely not ready for everyone to know yet. I'm going to have to try the hair tie button trick.
Questions: Anyone on progesterone too or used it in previous pregnancies? Did it mask any of your symptoms? I feel like this has been such a weird pregnancy. I dry heave after brushing my teeth, but not every day. And my nausea is very light and random. With my other two pregnancies, I had such bad nausea so this is just totally weird and freaks me out.
GTKY: What's your favorite series to binge watch? It's hard to choose! Friends, HIMYM, Parks and Rec. Right now it's VEEP.

@cammie0526 Jane the Virgin has been my go to series lately as well. Can't wait for the spin off.
@supermom34482 I had a similar u/s at my last visit, only saw gestational sac. My date was off by 4days. I'm super anxious and nervous about my u/s tomorrow. I just keep trying to focus on the fact that my betas are higher and I have symptoms. I know it's tough but keep trying. Wishing you the best of luck with your appt today.
@zuuls_mom I'm on progesterone and haven't noticed anything but I also have nothing to compare it to. I too dry heave when I brush my teeth sometimes. Feels so gross.
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 9/9; 8w1d
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming Appointments: Tomorrow morning for 2nd ultrasound
How are you feeling?: tired, just got back from 1 week in Puerto Rico for work and it was non stop. My breasts are still very sore and now I'm getting random sharp pains. Lots of bloating and some nausea. Mood swings kicked into high gear this week.
Rants/Raves: Got the results of my 4th beta and it was good 19,583. So that made me feel better and less anxious, at least until my ultrasound.
Questions: none
GTKY: What's your favorite series to binge watch? Right now I'm watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Binged it on my flight.
@hanshotfirst77 FX for good news at your appointment on 2/6!!
@cammie0526 no good advice for calming the nerves, unfortunately, just commiseration! Hope you get to a place where you're feeling better soon!
@supermom34482 I hope your appointment goes well today. Please let us know what they say
@mainemomma8316 I totally feel you on just wanting to feel normal again. I tried explaining to my husband that yes, feeling sick every day sucks, but it's emotionally tough too. Just trying to go about your every day business like an adult when all you want to do is just lay around like a slug. Blah.
@maserrano714 and @zuuls_mom I've got everything crossed for good news at both of your appointments tomorrow!
@zuuls_mom I'm a week or two into the hair tie trick. It's OK in the morning, but then by the time I head home from work, I need a bigger size pants
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 9/9
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming Appointments: Intake and U/S with my regular OB on 2/6
How are you feeling?: Gross. Sick, though thankfully no throwing up. Bloated AF.
Rants/Raves: I just moved into a different office at work it and it is FREEZING in here. I may not survive the winter...
Questions: @zuuls_mom and @maserrano714 are you on oral or vaginal progesterone? I'm on crinone gel (vaginal) and I'm starting to feel like it's irritating my ladybits. So gross.
GTKY: What's your favorite series to binge watch? I don't really have the ability to stay awake long enough to really binge too much, but last weekend I watched the entire new season of Outlander (except for the season finale) and it was glorious.
Baby is the size of a(n): Wee Raspberry according to Ovia
Upcoming Appointments: First appointment/Ultrasound tomorrow. Nervous & praying for a great appointment.
How are you feeling?: SO nauseous. SO TIRED.
Rants/Raves: We told my in laws this weekend, my MIL, FIL, Sister Inlaw & Brother in law, so I'm grateful the cat is out of the bag. Their reactions were kind of underwhelming, I mean they were happy & congratulatory, but my MIL usually cries tears of joy over silly things so I definitely expected more of a reaction? I think my husband was a lil put off by it. I told him maybe thats just what the response is with second kids?
Questions: Does anyone else not really have the constant urge to pee? I'm drinking mostly what I should be, but dont' have that issue.
GTKY: What's your favorite series to binge watch? Friends or Gilmore Girls for sure!
@RedBreast35 @mommyshark13 thank you both
@supermom34482 Good luck at your appt! Let us know how it goes.
@zuuls_mom I haven't even attempted normal pants recently, though if i did i'm sure id need the hair tie trick. Team leggings FTW!

Also, I may have to cave and bring maternity pants to my work trip. I am sitting at my desk with pants using the hair tie trick and I am so uncomfortable! I feel like it's making me more nauseated. I'll just wear baggy shirts and grandma sweaters to hide the bump lol.

@MsBeachNJ Same here about not really peeing more than usual, even though I’ve upped my water intake quite a bit
Upcoming Appointments: Feb 7. Finallyyyy
How are you feeling?: Blah. Bloat. Serious heartburn (I wake up with it! Even though I eat early). And random nausea. All food sounds gross, but forcing myself to eat.
Rants/Raves: successfully hid this little secret from the in-laws last weekend. Of course MIL bothered me about her lack of grandchildren all weekend which kind of makes me want to wait until I'm like 5 months to be like oh by the way... but, alas, I will brush it off for DH. We tell both sets of parents in 2 weeks.
Questions: where did you shop for maternity clothes??? Or did you just get a size or two up? I don't want to wake up one day with nothing to wear and it's way too cold for a dress.
GTKY: What's your favorite series to binge watch?
I watch too much TV. Binge-worthy include the office, Brooklyn 99, finally finishing Downton Abbey. Outlander is one of my faves but too intense to binge.
@RedBreast35 I still have 2 left for this season but won't watch it bc I don't want it to be over lol
@supermom34482 yayyy! That's the best news!
And I felt the same way about trying to binge The Handmaid's Tale. MH would want to watch several episodes a night and I just could. not. handle. it. After season 1 was over, Outlander got a little easier for me to binge.
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 7wks4days
Baby is the size of a(n): Blueberry/Jellybean
Upcoming Appointments: I had my first appointment yesterday. Everything looks okay, but my blood test came back saying the pregnancy has given me hypothyroidism. I'll start meds first thing tomorrow morning and hope all goes well. The hypothyroidism might be causing some of my more obnoxious pregnancy symptoms so I'm really hoping the meds can help with those.
How are you feeling?: Congested, tired, cold and often dizzy and nauseated.
Rants/Raves: I'm tired of being sick (not from pregnancy, but from a cold virus) My 3.5 yrold has had croup w/strider and strep all within the last week and hasn't been sleeping well. I didn't know that strep could cause nausea in kids. My DD was up all night vomiting bile; that was Saturday night. Poor baby. She still feels tired and won't eat much.
Questions: Has anyone else had Hypothyroidism with pregnancy and had everything turn out well? I'm a bit worried that my baby won't develop properly, according to what I've read about it.
GTKY: What's your favorite series to binge watch? Lately I've binge watch Season 3 of Outlander to catch up and I've been re watching Downtown Abbey. I binge watch Gordon Ramsey shows while I cook though.

@Gasbarro2011 I’m hypothyroid and have been on meds since TTC #1. If they’ve caught it already, try not to worry too much about it! 😀
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry/Pygmy sea horse (because Ovia has a weird but cute animal comparison)
Upcoming Appointments: TOMORROW. I’m so nervous it’s my first appointment and ultrasound
How are you feeling?: pretty good. My nausea has dropped off a little bit. It’s not all day everyday anymore. Just when hungry. I feel super bloated and my boobs hurt.
Rants/Raves: rant. I’m so uncomfortable at naught when sleeping. Also I get up to pee in the middle of the night now. Raves! I can eat pickles again! This kid didn’t like pickles until now and I eat them everyday before pregnancy so I was a little bummed when baby didn’t let me have them for a few weeks lol
Questions: STM’s did you ever have dreams about the gender of the baby and it was true? I keep having dreams it’s a boy but I don’t want my mind to play games with me lol
GTKY: What's your favorite series to binge watch? it was Shameless but I’m out of episodes.
