Questions: none right now
GTKY: Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!! What are your Mother’s Day plans? Ugh, I don't know. We don't make a big deal, my son is too young to understand and MH's mom passed away several years ago and I know it is difficult for him. I may run a 5k in the morning, and by run I mean slowly jog/walk it. I will go see my grandmother on Saturday for some cake.

Upcoming Appointments:
Tomorrow at 3:30! It's our first appointment since having my levels checked at 5w2d, so I'm hoping for a heartbeat 🤞
How are you feeling?:
Nausea has gone down a little bit, but I'm still exhausted all the time!
Rants/Raves:
My SO doesn't have social media and doesn't want to do an announcement - I think I'm okay with that! He's been so amazing and is so excited, so I want to respect his stance on this one.
Questions: none atm.
GTKY: Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!! What are your Mother’s Day plans?
Haha. I'm going to my mom's house to help her clean out her kitchen cabinets. It's what she asked for, and I love nerding out over kitchen organization! I told my SO that I wanted a small recognition of my 'first' mother's Day (flowers or a card or something).
FTM/STM/STM+: STM
Team Green/Pink/Blue: Possibly pink! I had my NT scan today, and the sonographer said we wouldn't know for sure until the anatomy scan, but she thought it was a girl. I'm happy either way, but baby clothing for girls is really cute!
Interesting Baby Fact / Baby is size of ...: Lime
Upcoming Appointments: Just had one this afternoon, so not until June.
How are you feeling?: Still pretty sick.Headaches, nausea, dizziness and I'm having a hard time eating anything, because everything sounds disgusting to me right now. I'm hoping it will magically get better in a week when I reach the second trimester
Rants/Raves: Had my second appointment today (Finally! First was at six weeks), and got to see the baby for the NT scan. Everything looked good, and I got to hear the heartbeat! I'm measuring ahead by almost a week, and my SCH is gone. I'm really, really relieved, since that wait was not helping my anxiety!
Questions: None right now
GTKY: Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!! What are your Mother’s Day plans? Nothing really solid yet. We might get dinner with some friends, or I might just hang out on the couch and feel nauseated.

How are you feeling?: Today, really well. It has been a rough few weeks with really intense eating aversions, nausea, and vomiting. Hoping it's a sign that I've turned a corner!
Rants/Raves: Rant: I had a lackluster appointment on Friday where my doctor made me feel bad for losing so much weight...it's not like I effing tried. It's been really hard to eat and keep food down and the Rx he wrote me didn't go through for like 2 weeks!!! Full pregnancy rage directed at him. Rave: I had the most splendid weekend and I'm feeling high on the happiness
Questions: None right now
GTKY: Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!! What are your Mother’s Day plans? I actually forgot it was mother's day (whoops!). I'm to going visit the ILs to get some sun and pool time in Palm Springs.

Interesting Baby Fact / Baby is size of ...: lemon!
Upcoming Appointments: May 30 unless my bloodwork comes back concerning next week
How are you feeling?: pretty good, just extremely fatigued
Rants/Raves: nope!
Questions: any STM have a halo bassinet (swivel or slide)? How did you like it? I have an arms reach cosleeper that I liked but was kind of a pain during my C-section recovery. Trying to decide if buying a new bassinet for the last baby is worth it.
GTKY: Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!! What are your Mother’s Day plans?
working 😫 and hopefully relaxing after that while my husband pampers me
@Kurtni I had the Halo with my son and loved it. My sister had the arms reach and had the same complaint. I liked that the Halo is height adjustable so it could swivel over our bed a few inches so he could be closer.
FTM/STM/STM+: stm
Team Green/Pink/Blue: we’ll find out, nipt testing is on 5/20
Interesting Baby Fact / Baby is size of ...: Strawberry, same weight as a quarter
Upcoming Appointments: MFM for an ultrasound 5/20 and my regular 12 wk appt with my midwife that same afternoon.
How are you feeling?: Today was rough, but yesterday I was almost nausea free. I found out today that my tsh is super low, so I’m nervous about that and need to get it figured out tomorrow once my Endocrinologist is at her office.
Rants/Raves: My son is finally not sick anymore so we can get back to all if his activities this week. He had croup and we had a looong week last week staying at home so I’m very excited to get out and about this week!
Questions: -
GTKY: Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!! What are your Mother’s Day plans? We have toddler soccer in the morning, but then no plans and hoping to keep it that way!

Interesting Baby Fact / Baby is size of ...: LEGO man
Upcoming Appointments: may 14th, 12 week appointment
How are you feeling?: generally miserable. Nauseous all the time while teaching kindergarten is not ideal for sure.
Rants/Raves: my husband got drunk this weekend, so drunk that he was throwing up and then spent the whole next day complaining about his headache and stomach and yet when I mention I don’t feel good he tells me to suck it up
Questions:
GTKY: Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!! What are your Mother’s Day plans? To tell our extended families!
@Rawa1416 I’m jealous your OB can tell you the gender that early! Is that your anatomy scan? I have to wait til 20 weeks blarg!
@creamcheeseplease dang expecting pastries and not getting them stinks!
@klstone25 yay for social media announcement!
@gumby22c no shame there! Why shouldn’t you be able to enjoy lounging in it as well
@JBos82 wow 12lbs of chili! Nice! Was it miserable all weekend by you? We had so much rain chili would’ve been great
@emeraldcity1214 I hope your feeling better today
@alaluap hope you have a great appointment today!
@abbsters-2 so glad you had such a good scan and your SCH is gone!
@gapmom2019 I hope your feeling better today and congrats to your daughter on her graduation!
@mvc003 sorry your doctor made you feel bad for losing weight outside of your control. Hope you have another day of feeling good today.
@ameliabird811 I actually found a super cute dress at target. I saw it in person first and the ordered online but it looked way more grumpy online than in person. Have you looked in stores or just online?
@Kurtni you definitely deserve some pampering from your husband! I think we all do
@rogro118 I hope they can get your dosage figured out. My best friend has been dealing with the same thing and they just can’t seem to get her dosage right and she swings just as far. She’s 15 weeks and they’re just monitoring it more frequently but haven’t expressed huge concern
@Knottie66148300 oh no you need to shut that down, if my husband told me to “suck it up” there would be hell
FTM/STM/STM+: ftm
Team Green/Pink/Blue: finding out at anatomy scan
Interesting Baby Fact / Baby is size of ...: orange
Upcoming Appointments: may 20th for 16 week and then I’m assuming June 17th for anatomy but it isn’t scheduled yet
How are you feeling?: I got so sick last night but don’t know if it was pregnancy or something I ate. I still don’t feel great today but it’s slightly better. Maybe it’s a stomach bug.
Rants/Raves: Rant- clients at work who can’t make decisions you need them to make and then blame you when the schedule gets delayed Rave- I finished my half marathon on Sunday!
Questions: anyone plan to use a doula? A friend of mine highly recommended it to me
GTKY: Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!! What are your Mother’s Day plans? No real Mother’s Day plans because our mothers are 4 hours away; but my birthday is Thursday so we may celebrate Saturday. Fun fact my mom went into labor on mother’s day but I wasn’t born til the next day- sorry for a miserable first mother’s day mom!!
@kopp5988 Congrats on finishing your half marathon!!
@gapmom2019 Congrats on your daughter's graduation, how exciting!
@rogro118 croup is the worst! Sorry your son got hit with that.
My SIL is a doula and I had her there with me last time. She was more help than my husband when things got tough (lol) and I'm totally having her there again. I think if you can afford it and find a good one you click with, it's a great asset during labor!
I definitely only want my husband in the room. Everyone else gets me worked up including my mom.
FTM/STM/STM+: 2 boys + baby bean
Team Green/Pink/Blue: Find out this weekend!
Interesting Baby Fact / Baby is size of ...: All my different t apps say something different. Let’s go with the Hot Jalapeño
Upcoming Appointments: Waiting for lab results.
How are you feeling?: Still super exhausted. My boobs are killing me. I’ve had a headache the last few days.
Rants/Raves: I hate waiting for lab results....
Questions: None
GTKY: Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!! What are your Mother’s Day plans?
We are going to find out the gender of this baby on Mother’s Day in the place we got married almost 6 years ago (on May 25th)! We are super excited. We are going to the US place on Saturday.
FTM/STM/STM+: Third
Team Green/Pink/Blue: TEAM BLUE! Beyond excited - the news is only 2 hours old
Interesting Baby Fact / Baby is size of ...: Lemon
Upcoming Appointments: Not until the end of May
How are you feeling?: Elated about learning gender. Very tired and hungry allll the time but the heartburn has started again so I am a bit more careful about what I eat.
Rants/Raves: None - very excited to be done with the first trimester on Friday. It can't come soon enough
Questions: What do I need to know about boys. I am a girl mom for the last 3 1/2 years so this will be a new one to start mentally preparing for.
GTKY: Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!! What are your Mother’s Day plans? Brunch for my mom at our house. Hope everyone does something nice and to the FTMs - TREAT YOURSELF. I am sure everyone tells you to do it but seriously once you become a mom your time is no longer your own. It is the best but an adjustment so truly do something for you this weekend.
FTM/STM/STM+: 2nd
Team Green/Pink/Blue: Green
Interesting Baby Fact / Baby is size of ...: no clue!
Upcoming Appointments: Not until end of May which seems forever away but I know it will fly by.
How are you feeling?: Meh. Better with the energy. Nausea still lingering. My appetite had decreased (yay for that!)
Rants/Raves: Ive been working long hours which is both a rant and a rave. I had 11 hour lobgappointments scheduled on Monday and 10 showed, 4 yesterday and all showed, my day is packed today except for two breaks I scheduled myself to get paperwork done and run errands for mothers day, and the work I do from home has been swamping me. Some days I am up at 6 to work and dont get done until 1030. That might be part of my fatigue!
Questions: I keep getting heart flubs. I talked to my doctor about it and we will monitor. They are guessing it might be due to increased blood flow and blood volume but I might get some blood work and echo done to check.
GTKY: Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!! What are your Mother’s Day plans? Tomorrow we are going to STL for a quick two day trip with our toddler! City museum and the zoo. I am so stupid excited to have a getaway with my family and to just be away from work and stressors for two days!! The rest of the weekend I plan to plant some flowers and take it easy.
FTM/STM/STM+: FTM
Team Green/Pink/Blue: we find out at the gender reveal on 6/1!
Interesting Baby Fact / Baby is size of ...: a lemon and has fingerprints!
Upcoming Appointments: I just had an ultrasound and appointment with my doctor yesterday. My next visit isn't until 6/7 where we do more genetic bloodwork and I see the doctor again. Next ultrasound will be at week 20
How are you feeling?: still pretty good. My doctor gave me a prescription that should help either my nausea/aversions and also help me sleep at night. We will see how this goes!
Rants/Raves: my husband has been pestering me to finalize the gender reveal plans and create the event. I tried to sit down with him last night to hammer it all out together and I couldn't get hin off his video game. I told him to just come and get me when he was done, but I did not want to start doing this at 9pm. What happens? Its after 9 and he still hasn't come out of his game room... needless to say I am still miffed. I've been vma very easy pregnant wife - something he loves saying about me to everyone - so I'm going to just allow myself this meltdown over my frustration.
Questions: none at the moment
GTKY: Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!! What are your Mother’s Day plans?
We haven't reall made any this year. My mother-in-law just passed in January and my mother and grandmother haven't even brough up the subject. We will probably end up out at my grandma's house for lunch or something simple.
FTM/STM/STM+: STM+
Team Green/Pink/Blue: Blue?
Interesting Baby Fact / Baby is size of ...: Having checked my app in a few days. Oups!
Upcoming Appointments: I had my first OB app. on May 1st. Everything seems normal and waiting for a called to get and ultrasound (explained in Rants).
How are you feeling?: I've been on sick leave now for 2 weeks. My Physician put me on it for my depression and how work and how my anxiety was getting to me. The stress from work was getting to me and it was an app. filled with me crying and filling out a questionnaire to determine if I had signs of depression, which I do. It's been a common thing in my last 2 pregnancies, but usually around the end or after 20 weeks. This pregnancy, it's been hitting me hard and at the beginning. I have my next app with him next week to see if I should remain on sick leave or go back to work.
Rants/Raves (Long Rant): My rant/hiatus for a while. On April 30th, my sister gave birth to a beautiful baby girl at 11pm. We were all happy for her as it was her first baby and she didn't have a great experience while pregnant and her OB wasn't that great either. The morning of May 1st, I received a text from my sister that the doctors came in and told her the news that her daughter was born without eyes. We were all shocked! She started asking questions on why it was missed during her pregnancy and they couldn't tell her anything. The same day, I had my first OB app and when I got in, I started to cry to the receptionist and told her everything. I waited half an hour and when my OB came in, the receptionist told her what had happened and she (OB) had called everyone who was involved with my sister and her baby. What's unfortunate, is that they can detect early on if your baby has no eyes in the womb by ultrasounds and the tech. were not sure if they could see them or not and just reported it as a possibility of eyes but did not tell my sister for god knows why. Since this is a rare genetic disorder, I am now going to be followed closely during my pregnancy and I'm suppose to be called for an ultrasound this week but still no calls. My whole family is now starting to feel better about the situation, but we're all still confused and upset. I have no idea if what I wrote makes any sense as my mind is still scrambled by this,.. End of rant.
Questions: /
GTKY: Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!! What are your Mother’s Day plans? My SO is working this weekend, so no major plans, but he is off on my birthday which is May 15th, so we're most likely going to celebrate both occasions at once.

Interesting Baby Fact / Baby is size of ...: Lime
Upcoming Appointments: May 21 for the genetic scan
How are you feeling?: I’m not tired at all which I’m surprised about and very grateful for because work right now is insane. However, my nausea seems to come and go without any discernable pattern which is driving me nuts. Some mornings I’m sick, some I’m not. And now I’ve started to feel really unwell right after supper. I guess it could be worse though!
Rants/Raves: I was feeling pretty paranoid up until we had our first ultrasound yesterday. I was so nervous but so happy once it was confirmed there was a heartbeat!!!
