Re: Group 3 (Oct 16-22) Check-In Week of 3/11
Baby is the size of a(n): Raspberry
Upcoming Appointments: Had my first appointment last Thursday. Baby was measuring right on track at 8 wks with a 165 heartbeat.
How are you feeling?: So exhausted and lacking any motivation. I even read an article this morning on how to make it through your first trimester at work. Bottom line was step up your game....not the answer I wanted to hear. I want to quit so bad.
Rants/Raves: Along the lines of work, my boss is really ticking me off. I took off Friday to get some personal stuff done, but before I left, gave her a full rundown of where a certain project stood (its become a mess thanks to the TX Secretary of State screwing up the paperwork). Later that evening (same day as the update) she emails me and asked for an update. Then our CFO emailed me the next day and asked the same question, which I knew she contacted my boss first and guarantee my boss told her I was the one supposed to be working on it, but I was out/gone. Then today, I get in and she sends me an email asking if something else had been done, which she knows full-well was done because she received the confirmation email back in January and forwarded it to me telling me thank you and that she was removing it from the task list. Makes me want to punch her in the face.
Questions: Any tips for getting through this first trimester without losing my job from laziness lol? I need energy and coffee gives me heartburn.
GTKY: If you could make one rule that everyone had to follow, what rule would you make? Mandatory classes in critical thinking.
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: Oct 16/8w5d

Rants/Raves: Not much here, I want to stop working but DH is wanting me to continue until May. I only work twice a week as is but I just don’t want to.
Questions:
GTKY: If you could make one rule that everyone had to follow, what rule would you make? Chewing with their mouth closed, because gross.

Baby is the size of a: Lego brick
Upcoming appt: March 26th. This is a little different than last time. I only had appts once a month for first and 2nd trimester. This time I have this extra appointment to meet with the nurse practitioner. She'll do a lot of education and answer any questions (don't have any really since this is 2nd baby), do all the blood work, then sit down with the financial department and I'll know how much is due for the entire pregnancy + delivery. I'm scared to find out! Deductibles are so much higher than they were even 3 years ago! It's ridiculous.
How are you feeling?: So tired, but otherwise fine.
Rants/Raves: none at the moment
Questions: none
GTKY: If you could make one rule that everyone had to follow, what rule would you make?: Hmmm, I'm not sure, this is a tough one.
Oh yeah, that should TOTALLY be a check in question: Team blue/pink/green, especially now that some of us will find out the sec through blood tests! Hopefully we remember to add it next week. (BTW, we are team green--not finding out)
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 10/17, 8w5d
Baby is the size of a(n): gummy bear
Upcoming Appointments: 4/2, first pre-natal (ivf/fet patient so have had 2 us so far)
How are you feeling?: big relief this week! Otherwise very tired. Eating more than usual, lots of saliva!
Rants/Raves: a little more annoyed with things than usual! Work has been hard with fatigue and being distracted waiting for each appointment. I also work in wine industry so it has been hard to be around wine constantly, the smell!!
Questions: any other fets out there? I am wondering how First OB may differ from non ivf...
GTKY: If you could make one rule that everyone had to follow, what rule would you make? Not sure... maybe just be open to others?
@wintersongI agree! I suggested a few weeks back that we add team blue/pink/green and also FTM/STM/TTM+ because I can never remember and I feel like it would help me get to know people.
Baby is the size of a(n): Tater Tot
Upcoming Appointments: TOMORROW. fucking finally.
How are you feeling?: Tired. Excited for tomorrow.
Rants/Raves: none today.
Questions: none today.
