2. Baby is the size of a(n): banana
3. What team are you on (Blue, Pink, or Green): Blue!!
4. Upcoming Appointments: none till end of the month
5. How are you feeling?: Great! I'm exhausted, but today is the first Sunday in a long time I feel like I deserve it. I've been up since 5:30 when the boys woke me, and in that time I've attended a class about Passover, gone on a date with DH for his birthday (lunch, grocery shopping, and a book store #marriedlifedates) had a 3 hour play date with a friend whose 2 boys are the same age as mine, and attended a BBQ at my synagogue. I'm ready for bed.
6. Rants/Raves: I guess I'm just happy I had a good day, see above.
7. Questions:
8. GTKY: If you could have dinner with any historical (no longer living) person or fictional character, who would you choose and why? Nero Wolfe (points if you've heard of him) it would be guaranteed to be great food, and interesting conversation.
1. Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 20w + 2 d / August 24
2. Baby is the size of a(n): Banana
3. What team are you on (Blue, Pink, or Green): Blue
4. Upcoming Appointments: Tomorrow with my regular OB. I technically had an A/S with MFM since they performed a CVS, so I'm not sure what all my OB will do during this appointment.
5. How are you feeling?: I think I said this last week, but tired. I know I am a TTM but I was hoping for like.... just a little bit more energy.
6. Rants/Raves: Rants - medical bills. I had an ER visit after the CVS due to a scare (luckily all was okay!!) and now we're getting hit for "balanced billing" where the "out-of-network" ER doctor who I saw for all of 5 minutes wants all in almost $1,000. Insurance only covered about $200, we we're stuck with the rest. American Healthcare, y'all!
7. Questions:
8. GTKY: If you could have dinner with any historical (no longer living) person or fictional character, who would you choose and why?: Probably someone like Susan B. Anthony or Elizabeth Cady Stanton, to just ask how they were so brave in the face of adversity. We need more bad asses like them.
1. Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 8/24, 20+2
2. Baby is the size of a(n): popsicles
3. What team are you on (Blue, Pink, or Green): Blue + ?
4. Upcoming Appointments: Thursday! Anatomy scan and OB checkup. So very excited to find out the gender of baby A!
5. How are you feeling?: Ugh. Joint pain has started. I can deal with the physical pain but it’s super annoying every time I have to get up to chase DD. Having her play outside is difficult, and storytime at the library today was difficult. I’m going to have to start picking and choosing our outings more carefully.
6. Rants/Raves: I’ve been worried about how I’m going to handle DD closer to the end of the pregnancy when I’m REALLY big and immobile. My mom can’t come down to help til mid-July, but my aunt & uncle just offered to come help for a couple weeks at the end of June and early July. It’s such a relief.
7. Questions: nada
8. GTKY: If you could have dinner with any historical (no longer living) person or fictional character, who would you choose and why?
Winston Churchill. No big reason why, just think he would be interesting.
@peachy0709 - have you spoken to the hospital billing department? We had a similar situation twice, and both times the hospital waived the entire remaining out-of-pocket fees. They’re just trying to get some compensation for the service, and they jack up the price so they have room to negotiate down with the insurance companies. I’d be surprised if they stuck hard to the remaining $800...they don’t want to lose you as a customer in the future.
@Allycat11 I hope your AS went well today!! Did LO cooperate and let them get some cute shots?
@mrosek91 congrats on the awesome day! Sounds fun and productive! I can't say I've heard of Nero Wolfe, so now I'm gonna have to learn something haha
@peachy0709 I can only imagine the exhaustion as a TTM! I'm feeling wiped and I don't have any little ones to run after! Every time I hear about a medical bill, I get sad for you guys
1. Aug 30, 19+3 today
2. Baby is the size of...well ..according the TB it shrinks and grows drastically each day 😂
3. Team Green till delivery! Though I admit... A very tiny part of me wants to know. Which I never thought would happen...
4. AS on Friday. OB on the following Wednesday where we will hopefully get the results.
5. I'm feeling.... Happy. Lucky. Ecstatic every time I feel this tiny human kick inside me. (I just started crying thinking about it haha). Also tired, and stressed about getting the house ready to move. Sometimes I just feel so overwhelmed.
6. Rant. So a few days ago I started injections of a blood thinner. The pain with the first was unbelievable. I ended up with a nice ugly ..I dunno.. 1.5" bruise. A massive leg cramp that lasted 3 hours. Joint pain that lasted 3 days. Anyway, since then, we have split it into 2 shots per day, about 1" apart. Much more bearable. No tears, only 30ish min of much milder leg cramp, and tiny bruises (and only on the right leg for some reason. Left leg injections have been bruiseless for some reason).
Anyway, while DH is stabbing me, I keep repeating "baby is worth this!" It's manageable. But man does it suck.
We calculated the cost of the injections through the next pregnancy, and it'll be $8000 plus progesterone (about $1000, providing OB let's me stop taking it soon). At least our work extended health coverage covers some of the prescription costs!
7. Anyone have any suggestions for places to buy cute maternity summer dresses? (That will reasonably ship to /be available in Canada lol) I'm striking out... Though I am ordering some more pants from old Navy today haha
8. GTKY: I actually have no idea haha. Maybe... Aragorn from Lord of the rings, because he would have lots of cool stories to share. You know...if he were real.. haha
SUCH amazing perspective.
Anatomy scan seemed to go well, will have full results in a couple days. Baby was wiggling like crazy so she struggled with some of the measurements. We are still team green. Baby is measuring 10 days ahead and was at the last u/s too...but was measuring behind at the first few. Now I wait to see the plan for my EDD
1/12/13 DD was born
4/9/16 DS was born
9/17 CP
6/23/18 BFP EDD 3/4/19
1. Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 8/31, 19+2
2. Baby is the size of a(n): mango
3. What team are you on (Blue, Pink, or Green): pink
4. Upcoming Appointments: AS on Fri 4/12!
5. How are you feeling?: Overall pretty good, I’m showing more to the point that others notice and my coworkers love to say “awww you have a little bump now!” which I enjoyed like the first time but now I’m just like YUP it’s there!
6. Rants/Raves: T-3 days until spring break! I took Friday off for our appt so I just have to make it through Thursday!
7. Questions: Did anyone have a way of recording their AS? I know someone said they could bring a USB and record a video, but not sure that’s the norm. I should just call my OB’s office but I don’t wanna 😂
8. GTKY: If you could have dinner with any historical (no longer living) person or fictional character, who would you choose and why?
Hmmm good question. I’m tempted to say a mathematician like Newton but honestly they’d probably be way too advanced for me to ask them any intelligent questions. Also maybe Hermione Granger 😂
1. Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 8/28, 20 weeks
2. Baby is the size of a(n): banana
3. What team are you on (Blue, Pink, or Green): We are having a girl.
4. Upcoming Appointments: AS was last week - all looked well! Next appt is at the end of the month.
5. How are you feeling?: Some nausea and fatigue, but thankful the nausea has improved in the last month!
6. Rants/Raves: Rant... it has been challenging lately to accept and function within the limits my body has set for me, especially after a very difficult first 16 weeks. Rave... I’m feeling really thankful for the kind nurses on call at my OB office who return phone calls promptly and always are happy to answer my questions. It is a relief to have a medical team that I can trust and access easily.
7. Questions: No questions, but I hope I tagged everyone correctly below!
8. GTKY: If you could have dinner with any historical (no longer living) person or fictional character, who would you choose and why? I love your answer @mia8263 because I am a huge Disney fan too!! I am also a science nerd and would also love to have dinner with Rosalind Franklin, a scientist in the 1950s whose work laid the groundwork for the discovery of the structure of DNA.
@Allycat11 I’m with you on the nausea and exhaustion. Here’s to hoping we can get some relief at some point!
@peachy0709 This infuriates me. I am constantly in disbelief that our medical system functions this way, especially in the emergency setting!!!
@aecm and @dogmomma096 and @chillycanadian Hope all goes well with your AS this week!
@chillycanadian I’m not 100% sure they ship to Canada, but I’ve loved some of the maternity summer dress options at Gap and Gap factory lately!
My sister and I tried to go maternity shopping yesterday, and completely struck out. I can't pay $80 for 1 pair of jeans...especially "destroyed" jeans which are not my thing. Dresses (not at all the kind I was looking for) started at $120.
