Re: Group 4 (Oct 23-31) Check-In W/O 2/25
Baby is the size of a(n): orange seed
Upcoming Appointments: 2.5 more weeks!
How are you feeling?: Surprised I'm not more nauseous yet. I feel like it was much worse already the last two times, but maybe I'm imagining things. Otherwise, tender breasts, upset stomach, and metallic taste are the most noticeable symptoms.
Rants/Raves: Babysitter is available this week, so DH and I are going to have a much needed date night!
Questions: Anyone planning bra shopping anytime soon?
GTKY: What is your go-to karaoke song? Call Me by Blondie.
Baby is the size of a(n): apple seed
Upcoming Appointments: This Friday, March 1 (first ultrasound!)
How are you feeling?: Mostly exhausted. Boobs are somewhat sore and def experiencing some food aversions (get the mayo AWAY from my face!)
Rants/Raves: Work is getting more and more insane by the day, but as long as Little Wolf keeps growing, I'll be happy
Questions: What are everyone's workout plans? I was really active before doing IVF and am now having trouble deciding what is safe/worth doing.
GTKY: What is your go-to karaoke song? Friends in Low Places by Garth Brooks
@littlewolfmamaI'm not very active but do yoga from time to time. Once I'm feeling better I'll start doing it again (was actually hoping for this week so fx...). They say as long as things are going smooth you can do whatever you normally did pre pregnancy. Maybe run it by your RE just to be sure.
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: Oct 23 / 5+5
Baby is the size of a(n): Straw opening
Upcoming Appointments: Likely US next week, waiting for official word from my RE
Offical: US on 3/6 😬
How are you feeling?: Ok. Constipation is starting to kick in. It's making me uncomfortable (kinds crampy but different) and paranoid because PGAL. I had a 2 day migrane over the weekend but feeling much better today.
Rants/Raves: I was too scared to post this morning whole waiting for results of beta #3. But, they were amazing and I am just so releived. DHs boss is trying to take him for a last minute trip next week and I'm really not cool with it. He just got home Fri from a week. I really need him home but don't know if he's going to be able to avoid it if we don't have am appt.
Questions:
GTKY: What is your go-to karaoke song? FFC, I have never done karaoke
Edited for spelling (and still probably have some mistakes 🤷♀️)
Edited again for appt update
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: October 23rd 5w5d
Baby is the size of a(n): Black peppercorn
Upcoming Appointments: Second Beta HcG test tomorrow. I had blood work on Friday when I was 5w2d and my level came back at 1833 which doctor said is too low for an ultrasound to see anything. Getting bloodwork tomorrow so hopefully I am above the 6,000 level and I can get an ultrasound next week. The wait makes me so nervous!
How are you feeling?: exhausted, some nausea throughout the day, sore boobs come and go, nothing sounds good to eat
Rants/Raves: Rant - I had to call my doctor to follow up on my test when I didn’t hear from them. By the time I called Labcorp was closed for the day so I have to wait until tomorrow for bloodwork. I wish the doctor had called this morning so I could have gone today. Raves - I went to Orangetheory this morning and felt great.
Questions: What are everyone's workout plans? I have a Peloton bike and I go to Orangetheory 2x a week. Hoping to stick with both as long as possible.
GTKY: What is your go-to karaoke song? 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton
Baby is the size of a(n): apple seed
Upcoming Appointments: still need to find an OB 🤦
How are you feeling?: Physically still good. Mentally I'm in a place of wanting everything to just accelerate until the 2nd trimester. I hate bring in this early phase of feeling excited and a little off, but not showing or having anyone else know.
GTKY: What is your go-to karaoke song? Not a big karaoke singer, but I love to belt out 60s folk rock and some 90-00s alt/indie in the car or while cooking.
Baby is the size of a(n): a BB pellet
Upcoming Appointments: March 9
How are you feeling?: Nausea hit me like a ton of bricks two nights ago. I didn’t have morning sickness till 6 weeks last time, so I was hoping it would hold out. I immediately had DH go to the pharmacy for some meds. So far they are working okay.
Rants/Raves: Tried to start potty training DD on Sunday but then stopped yesterday because she was freaking out and not showing any progress after two days. It was just bad timing. I’ll try again in a month or two.
Questions:
GTKY: What is your go-to karaoke song? Party in the USA is a fun one!
@sorarose I found that last time, I only had to buy a little piece that expanded my normal bra where it clips. I was still able to use mine which was nice.
@littlewolfmama I’ve always heard that you can continue your normal exercise routine. As long as you don’t push yourself harder than what you were doing before you got pregnant, you should be able to do the same things.
@littlewolfmama This pregnancy was a surprise and I had purchase Beachbody on Demand a few weeks ago. I am going to continue doing 21 Day Fix, but not overdo the workouts or restrict calories too much. They also have a pre and post natal workout program I will be checking out.
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 10/28... 5+1
Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed/straw opening
Upcoming Appointments: 3/7 for intake, 3/22 for ultrasound, 4/1 with midwife
How are you feeling?: Good. Minor cramps and headaches here and there.
Rants/Raves: DH is in a bowling league and takes DS with him. DS told his (step)cousin and she told her stepmom (SIL). And I guess DS continued to tell other people. Thankfully it is mostly family in the league, but too soon!
Questions:
GTKY: What is your go-to karaoke song? I don't karaoke. But I will belt out radio songs while in the car.

Questions: Where are you getting the baby sizes (other than the bump)? Like, straw opening! Peppercorn!

Baby is the size of a(n): peppercorn
Upcoming Appointments: 2/28 first appt for FTM, very nervous and excited
How are you feeling?: exhausted.. been traveling for work and cant tell if I have insomnia or just sleep cycle is messed up due to time change. Boobs hurt like a mofo.
Rants/Raves: I've become a liar! "Oh no I don't like goat cheese, yuck" "No thanks I can stand those delicious NY deli sandwiches." "Drinks, no im trying to do a diet and have a dry month. " smh.. how do you keep it under wraps and maintain all of the little white lies??
Questions: first visit at 5w4d.. is it too early for ultrasound? I want desperately to see something even if no fetal pole!
GTKY: What is your go-to karaoke song? Gangstas paradise
Baby is the size of a(n): apple seed
Upcoming Appointments: First ultrasound on 3/8
How are you feeling?: Sore boobs, exhausted and not sleeping well (I fall asleep, but wake up super early and can't go back to sleep. This morning it was 3am, ugh!), emotional, oh and the babe has decided he/she doesn't like coffee...I could cry!
Rants/Raves: Had a minor freak out last night with some spotting...it's basically gone now and wasn't accompanied with any cramping or pain. I know it's common with IVF pregnancies, but it's still so unsettling to see!
Questions: Nothing today
GTKY: What is your go-to karaoke song? I'm a horrible singer...so NOTHING!

Upcoming Appointments: Friday, meeting with nurse
How are you feeling?: really good actually. Maybe slight nausea.
Rants/Raves: This was a surprise after over a year of trying so we are still processing how this changes our “new” plans for our family. We are in the middle of foster care/adoption classes and home study so we are deciding what that will look like now.
Questions: none

Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed

How are you feeling?: pretty good! just tired
Rants/Raves: With my first two pregnancies I was exhausted and slept really well, this time I'm tossing and turning all night and cant seem to feel rested.
Questions: none right now
GTKY: Kareoke? I've never done it, which is surprising considering I'm a singer. If I had to pick a song I might go with Red High Heels, or Girl Crush

October 24th 6 weeks
Baby is the size of a(n):
Hashtag
Upcoming Appointments:
Monday the 4th US for heartbeat confirmation
How are you feeling?: All the symptoms I’m having I was having before my transfer from my med protocol. So I’m a little anxious for my US. Just want to make sure my little belly buddy is in there and growing good.
Rants/Raves:
I’m over these PIO injections. Night before last my H did it on my left side and it hurt going in and almost immediately I formed a lump. I massaged and laid on the heat pad for a bit to get the lump to go away. Now I’ve got a huge bruise there. So I did the last 2 night on my right side. We will go back to left tomorrow and see how it does.
Questions: None really. This is pregnancy #4 for me so I’ve been around the block a few times.
GTKY- ove only done it a few times and I usually sing a Judds song
