Re: Group 2 (Oct 9-15) Check-In Week of 3/11
Baby is the size of a(n): Baby is a fetus!! And an inch long! Shiz is getting real.
Upcoming Appointments: Next week, regular midwife checkup.
How are you feeling?: SO TIRED. I do not remember the fatigue being this bad in my other pregnancies. But I have also been sic a lot, so I'm sure that plays into it. I blessedly have not really had any real morning sickness this pregnancy, jsut vague nausea in the evenings most days. My first two pregnancies I lost almost ten pounds both times in the first trimester, so this is a nice change. I am even still eating, just my body really seems to prefer cold food (yogurt, fruit, sandwiches) to hot stuff. Lots of cramps, lots of rlp.
Rants/Raves:
Repeat from other thread, but thank goodness for technology. I can record my voice on a PowerPoint lecture and just tell my students to watch, listen and copy. And sit on my butt and rest.
Questions: Does anyone plan on putting baby in their room? I need some kind of organizational expert to help me figure this out. I have two kids, and a three bedroom house. My kids each have a bedroom because my son doesn't need much help at night but my daughter does and is loud. (They used to share.) So baby will be in my room for awhile. And have no idea how to make room so hacks and tricks are appreciated. We don't need much--I don't have a changing table or crib or anything. Just all the baby STUFF.

You have to get your news from more than one place. Facebook memes do not count as one of those places.

Baby is the size of a(n): cherry or postage stamp 🍒
Upcoming Appointments: NT scan/bloodwork on 4/02, regular OB (12 weeks) on 4/03
How are you feeling?: Pretty okay. Still tired, a little tender chested.
Rants/Raves: Nothing much over here. Woke up not feeling great, definitely hit the snooze button more than I usually do. Doing a water-drinking challenge with my co-workers this week.
Questions: nope

TTC #2: October 2018, BFP 02/02/19, EDD 10/14/19
Baby is the size of a(n): cherry or postage stamp
Upcoming Appointments: April 1st
How are you feeling?: Exhausted. So tired. DH has been picking up a lot of slack at night.
Rants/Raves: I guess this is kind of a rave... My sister in law had a baby this morning!! A girl. Still no name, but the sex was a surprise so it was exciting to wake up to the news!
Questions:
GTKY: If you could make one rule that everyone had to follow, what rule would you make? I am copying @stephanie123456 and going with SIESTA!!!!

Congratulations, auntie!
@wintersong I’m jealous of your voice recording PPT hack. My 7th graders are not self directed and require way too much prompting/redirection to get anything done. Teaching + pregnancy = a whole new level of exhaustion.
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 9W4D
Baby is the size of a(n): tater tot!
Upcoming Appointments: Panorama on Thursday, next midwife appointment 3/28
How are you feeling?: so. darn. tired.
Rants/Raves: I purchased some really cute larger-sized empire waist dresses that were on sale from my favorite vintage-inspired brand, and they arrived today. I can’t wait to wear them this summer, possibly to my shower! I’ve also picked up a couple larger sized dresses and elastic waist skirts for spring. I don’t wear leggings and only occasionally wear pants or jeans, so I’ve really needed to carefully plan my wardrobe for the upcoming months. Such a relief to have some bigger clothes to work with.
Questions:
GTKY: If you could make one rule that everyone had to follow, what rule would you make? There should be no scheduling of weekend plans on a Sunday if Saturday is busy, and vice versa. My weekend was too people-y, and combined with daylight savings, it made me a zombie with no patience for anyone today. 💀
Baby is the size of a(n): blackberry
Upcoming Appointments: Next Tuesday 3/19
How are you feeling?: Still nauseous throughout day, but it seems to be improving a bit and appetite has also increased some. Also tired and anxious. Even though my Dr. said last week to expect nausea to decrease soon, any lessening of symptoms still has me worried. I wish I could turn that part of my brain off!
Rants/Raves: We have a house that we are renting out for the first time (it is our former residence). We just posted it for rent yesterday and already have a ton of interest. Wahoo! Biggest worry with becoming landlords was having renters who might trash the place, so I'm excited that we will likely have a good pool of applicants to choose from.
Questions:
GTKY: If you could make one rule that everyone had to follow, what rule would you make? That everyone must do a zipper merge when there is traffic. It improves traffic for everyone!

Baby is the size of a(n): green olive
Upcoming Appointments: I'm there now. Can't remember what to expect but hoping to hear the heartbeat, though it may be too early still. Lots of bloodwork I'm sure.
How are you feeling?: Woof! I keep thinking the nausea is starting to go away, then it rebounds with a vengeance. Unfortunately my cravings are ahead of the game and I want so much more than my stomach can fit. Also afraid I'm coming down with something. My muscles and neck are all sore and stiff.
Rants/Raves: Rant; my kid just won't sleep! In all fairness he's been teething a lot, but I'm just wishing I could get a few months of solid sleep before starting all over again. I know that's a pipe dream, but hey, I can wish.
Questions: I'm still undecided on what non invasive testing to do. I have that appt next week to figure it out, but I think I'm the only person who just doesn't want to know. If you've chosen one test over another choice for a specific reason, what was that reason?
GTKY: If you could make one rule that everyone had to follow, what rule would you make? Hmmm, cheesy but I have to go with the golden rule. If you're going to be an asshat, you just have to expect that's exactly what's coming back to you.
Size: Pecan
Appointment: April 3
R/R: When will this morning sickness end?? Just feel awful almost all the time. My toddler and I are eating dry Lucky Charms right now 🤦🏼♀️
Rave is that we got a swing set/playground set up in our backyard for my DS. It’s blizzarding right now but we used it yesterday and he had a blast.
GTKY: I like the naptime idea. I remember in different European countries I traveled to when I was younger that they had so much more “down” time. I currently nap when the toddler does
@novicemama New clothes are always exciting 😊 I’ve been itching to start looking at maternity clothes but I’m making myself wait. I had a lot of hand-me-downs with DS because we didn’t have the money to spend and I’m really looking forward to getting some things that are more my style
@nnaelilak My husband has done more cooking in the last month than he has in a looong time. I think he’s excited it’s starting to get warm so he can grill, that’s more his domain
@cooaladolly Bless you for dealing with a teething baby. My 3 1/2 year old kept me up for a couple of hours last night and being extra tired today made me sooo nauseous 🤢
Baby is the size of a(n): water bottle cap
Upcoming Appointments: not for another month
How are you feeling?: the nausea is finally starting to fade. For long enough that I can imagine feeling normal again! Today was pretty bad though
Rants/Raves: Raves - it’s finally getting warmer! It rained lightly earlier and the smell of spring rain made me so, so happy
Questions: Have you gals busted out maternity pants or what are you wearing? I’m a SAHM so I’m lucky in that I can wear whatever is comfortable most days but when I do go out I’m stumped as to what to wear. I probably should go get some bigger sized leggings
GTKY: If you could make one rule that everyone had to follow, what rule would you make? Look for the good in life. It’s so much more enjoyable than always being negative
