Re: Weekly Check-In Group 2 (Jan 9-16) w/o 5/13
Baby is the size of a(n): sesame seed
Upcoming Appointments: 5/22 dating u/s
How are you feeling?: Nervous and irritable. The all around exhaustion has set in as well.
Rants/Raves: MH and I decided we didn’t want to tell anybody yet - until we went to the doctor so of course when I was at my parents’ for mother’s day my mom asked and now she knows. Then my SIL who I am very close with kept asking and pushing me on it. I know it comes from a good place, but my MC was so recent and I don’t understand why people won’t let me tell them when I am ready. Just really annoying to me and I think the feeling multiplied because of my hormones. As an FYI something similar happened with a friend last week. Like good god, let me have my time.
Questions: Anybody else craving root beer?
GTKY: If you could be anyone else for a day who would you be ? KKW mostly because I want to know what it’s like to live a life of total frivolity and entitlement. For just. One. Day.
Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed
Upcoming Appointments: ugh. I called yesterday and they apparently can't get me in until July 10th when I'll be 13 or 14 weeks because of how busy they are. I raised some hell and the head of OB is supposed to call me. I've been at that office for years and went through my entire pregnancy with my son there. FX I can get in earlier.
How are you feeling?: Tired but I weaned off my cup of coffee this past week. I've also been grumpy.
Rants/Raves: see upcoming appointments comment, lol.
Questions:
GTKY: If you could be anyone else for a day who would you be ? One of my cats because is that not the life? Laying around. Sleeping all day.
@laurenmicheley It's so rude to ask people if they are pregnant. Why not give them an opportunity to tell you on their own terms if they are!
Baby is the size of a(n): Red Lentil
Upcoming Appointments: First appointment with a nurse on June 21.
How are you feeling?: Fine, a little nausea sometimes but no throwing up yet.
Rants/Raves: Milk, which was a staple with my last pregnancy, tastes off. It started the day I found out I was pregnant, so I don't know if its all in my head or what...
Questions:
GTKY: If you could be anyone else for a day who would you be ? Me 10 years ago the summer I was a camp counselor. So much fun!
Side question, anybody else experiencing extreme bloating? I'm 5w and am a balloon today.
Baby is the size of a(n): peppercorn
Upcoming Appointments: US May 23 although I’m going to have to see if they can move it later in the day because I just got a high pressure meeting scheduled that morning. Just what I need: another reason to be nervous.
How are you feeling?: tired, some boob soreness, occasional nausea, bloated, lower abdomen twinges, and my emotions are *completely* out of control. I seriously feel bad for my husband.
Rants/Raves: I know I need more sleep but I get anxious at night and can’t fall asleep and then no matter what I wake up just before 7 and can’t fall back asleep. Why can’t my body do what it needs to do?
Questions: not at the moment.
GTKY: If you could be anyone else for a day who would you be? I’d love to be a fancy chef for a day.
Baby is the size of a: Lentil
Upcoming Appointments: None until first prenatal in July
How are you feeling?: like I just can’t get enough sleep no matter how early I go to bed.
Rants/Raves: This morning sickness is so much worse this time around. I didn’t experience this nearly so much with my first.
Questions: Any tips on how to beat the fatigue? Constantly almost falling asleep at work.
GTKY: If you could be anyone else for a day who would you be ? I don’t know. I’m bad at these questions 😆
Baby is the size of a(n): Orange Seed!
Upcoming Appointments: I had my first appointment with my Primary Care Manager yesterday to check HCG levels since I am lightly bleeding. Go back in tomorrow to have them rechecked. Hopefully they are good and doubling!
How are you feeling?: The only side effect I am having is major bloating and a little fatigue. Just keeping it low key right now until I know my levels.
Rants/ Raves: Feeling guilty for not being as happy as I was expecting! I think I'm just nervous/ scared right now with the bleeding. ALSO very jealous of everyone who has gotten to see ultrasounds so far and see the heart beating! Patiently waiting for my referral 😊
Questions: What are you ladies eating throughout the day?? I've been trying to up my veggies, fruits and meats.
GTKY: If you could be anyone else for a day who would you be? My husband 😭
Baby is the size of a(n): bb pellet
Upcoming Appointments: 2nd beta today, then first ultrasound 6/4
How are you feeling?: Pretty normal. I didn't have any morning sickness last time. This time is the same so far.
Rants/Raves: Feeling guilty here too. It happened so much easier this time. I was dx with unexplained IF and had 2 IUIs last time. This time, we were getting ready to start trying and bam.
Questions: nothing right now.
GTKY: If you could be anyone else for a day who would you be ? My dog. He's so spoiled. Sleeping all day long. ☺️
I'm also starting to feel the bloat.
@jordanwestfall don't feel guilty! Emotions are all over the place and you might find some days you're super excited and others more just content.
@jordanwestfall I'm eating pretty much anything. I've been trying to eat more fruit but I honestly haven't put much thought into it. Yesterday I had a PB&J with barbeque chips for lunch 😬🤷♀️
Baby is the size of a(n): the heart button on instagram
Upcoming Appointments: I have to switch OBs because mine is no longer doing the OB part, so I have that on the 22nd and hoping for blood work and US on the 23rd as long as I get the paperwork.
How are you feeling?: SO TIRED. I could sleep all day. I have some nausea, which is new because I didn't have it with my first.
Rants/Raves: I am just annoyed that most things taste off to me, so I am forcing myself to eat.
Questions: None yet.
GTKY: If you could be anyone else for a day who would you be? I think I would like to be Emily Blunt for a day. She just seems like an amazing down to earth person.
Baby is the size of a(n): chocolate chip
Upcoming Appointments: Saturday but Idk if it's just a get to know me type thing or what. Hoping I can find out something new.
How are you feeling?: I am exhausted. All. The. Time. Luckily, yesterday was way better. Hoping it continues to get better. Unfortunately, I started feeling a little nauseous this week. Holding it down so far and hoping it doesn't get to the point of vomiting. Can't have my job finding out. I've had the sniffles for a few weeks which is weird, but I've been able to blame my sleepiness on allergies at least.
Rants/Raves: Stress at work has been bad, but the stress I have in knowing that I'll be quitting at the end of June is getting to me. Trying to ignore it all and enjoy this time. Super excited to see my fiance so excited. I figured by now he would want a rest from all the baby talk, but he's still happy to hear when I give him size updates and whatnot.
Questions: Has anybody else developed an aversion to sweets, salt, or meat?
GTKY: At this point, I'd switch with anyone who has extra time to sleep lol
