    Due Date / Weeks + Days: December 14, 11 weeks, 4 days


    FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM


    Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out, and only telling here! Keeping it a surprise for family and friends.


    Upcoming Appointments: June 27


    How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Great! Mostly hungry. But energy is back, morning sickness is gone, life is good.


    Rants/Raves: RAVE! Finally! SCH is GONE, baby was squirming like crazy at yesterday's ultrasound, husband and I are cleared to resume sex, AND I got a little surfing and yoga in over the weekend. Also, we are officially announcing tonight on Facebook. It's a good week. 


    Questions: So, when they did my urine sample yesterday, they did find trace amounts of blood. They're sending for further analysis, and doc says she's not too worried, because sometimes that shows up in pregnant women because our kidneys are working overtime, but has anyone else had that? If so, what was the outcome?


    GTKY: What's the hardest thing you've had to change/give up since while pregnant? Wine...and next week, surfing. Doc says she doesn't want me out there after 12 weeks, so I'm getting it in while I can, but I'm so sad I have to go all of summer and fall banned from my board.

  • @rjgmcmanus Sounds like a great week!  I had blood in my urine as a result of a kidney infection, but at that point, I knew something was wrong.  I had a UTI that wasn't cleared by the meds, so ended up in the ER.  If you feel ok though, I wouldn't worry about it.

    Due Date / Weeks + Days: Dec.11 / 12 weeks today!


    FTM/STM/TTM+: Baby number 5


    Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team blue!


    Upcoming Appointments: Had our 12 week appointment yesterday, and go back in four weeks.


    How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): First tri symptoms are starting to slow down thankfully, but they are quickly being replaced by second tri symptoms like headaches and a sore back!  I still don't feel like eating much other than carbs.


    Rants/Raves: I'm just so happy and relieved that everything is looking good.  We told our kids last night, and they were thrilled.  My DD was so happy that she cried <3


    Questions: nope


    GTKY: What's the hardest thing you've had to change/give up since while pregnant? Usually I'd say wine, but I have no desire for it this time around.  I'd probably say that I miss Advil and my sleeping pills the most!

  • @bakerstreetboys Feeling great, so that's good...mostly just anxious about the results. Hoping I stay asymptomatic and they find nothing, or something simple. That's good to know though about what you went through, so I can stay aware. Also, super adorable about your daughter! Very sweet.
  • @rjgmcmanus I am sorry you basically only got your surfing back for the week, but at least you get a little time! 

    @bakerstreetboys I am going to cry because your DD cried! How sweet is that :)<3 

    Due Date / Weeks + Days: 11w3d/Dec 15


    FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM


    Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: BLUE


    Upcoming Appointments: June 19 is my next checkup


    How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc):  Pretty much feel back to normal. Just cant stop eating.


    Rants/Raves: We just wrapped up everything that is needed to put our house on the market. Professional Photos taken and just waiting on the appraisal to come back. I am so nervous because we live in a historical house and home values are so hard to place. If it doesn't come back good then we will probably not get to build for another 3-5 years instead of over the next 6 months to year like we are hoping for. I may be stress eating!


    Questions: Nope


    GTKY: What's the hardest thing you've had to change/give up since while pregnant? Ugh Wine, of course. I am craving it and beer and I am not typically a beer fan.



  • @klmcguire That sounds so stressful about the house! Crossing my fingers and saying a prayer for you that everything goes smoothly and quickly and exactly what you need or better!

    Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out! 


    Upcoming Appointments: I have my NT scan and NIPT on Monday- so nervous about it! 


    How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Morning sickness is basically gone which is good- having more RLP and had some lightning crotch over the weekend. My pants are SUPER tight now so busted out the belly band for comfort. Still have issues with constipation, sore boobs- cravings, just give me all the carbs!! 


    Rants/Raves: I haven't had any brown discharge in a week so I am hoping that is a sign that the sch resolved itself! We will see at my NT scan...Hope I can get off pelvic rest! 


    Questions: Nope 


    GTKY: What's the hardest thing you've had to change/give up since while pregnant? I love over easy eggs, sushi and medium rare steak so those are the hardest things to give up. I could really care less about drinking alcohol- like I like a cocktail or glass of wine every now and then but I don't miss it if I can't have it. 


    @rjgmcmanus Yay for the SCH being gone! Hope that is a good news for me too :) 

    @klmcguire Good luck on selling the house! 

    @bakerstreetboys I am so happy for you that everything is going well and that the kids are super excited about the baby! 

  • @Spartanrd4 Crossing my fingers for you that your SCH is gone too! It'll be such a relief!
  • @Spartanrd4 I have had a couple of moments of lightning crotch and am like "REALLY ALREADY"

    FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

    Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team Blue, unless I contaminated my sneak peek test  

    Upcoming Appointments: June 5th for our 12 week scan

    How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): nausea has been much better, but I’ve been so hungry that then I feel sick from eating too much.

    Rants/Raves: The gass pains have been rough this week, maybe from my increased appetite, not sure but they’re not pleasant.

    Questions: nope

    GTKY: What's the hardest thing you've had to change/give up since while pregnant? I would love a bagel with tuna salad from the bagel shop but their tuna salad sits out all day in the case so it’s prob not the freshes. Other than that I would love a fancy drink by the pool, but I’ll just trick myself with some fruity virgin drink. 


    @klmcguire good luck with the house! We were looking to build but there was a quick delivery house in the model I wanted so I jumped on it. Packing and moving is one of the worst things ever! I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible for you. 


    @spartanrd4 yay for upcoming NT scans next week! 

  • I'm due 12=15, I don't know how far along I am.  I think 12 wks 4 days? 

    Ftm

    Unsure if we will find out boy or girl. 

    Appointment tonight for heartbeat check and genetic testing as I'm over 35.

    I miss working out as hard as I used to,  I have to modify more now.  I am not looking forward to the weight gain and having to start over weight loss and fitness gains again after the baby's born.
  • @bookworm492 If you're due 12/15, you're 11 weeks, 4 days. I'm due 12/14 and am 11 weeks, 5 days, that's the only reason I know, haha. :-) Also, I totally get the modifying on working out--dealing with the same thing on my end. It's frustrating. Just trying to be healthy now so it's easier after delivery.

    Thanks, I'm not exactly enjoying being pregnant so I'm not really keeping up on the counting.  I find if I read too much up on everything I just get more anxious!
  • @bookworm492 I hope it gets easier for you soon...I was miserable for a few weeks too, and only just in the past week have really started to feel good again. Though I'm mentally prepared for that to change again at any moment. I'm the same on reading--right now I'm just trying to read and research the things I NEED to know and not go down the rabbit hole of horror stories. Otherwise, panic sets in, haha.

    My midwife specifically said,  don't bother with the what to expect book,  it justs gives pregnant people a bunch of unlikely things to think about! Lol. 
  • My practice does not do an ultrasound in the first trimester,  but we did hear the heartbeat last night.  It was pretty neat and it started to get me excited about things for once! It is hard to believe there is something living inside me still, lol.  I have so few side effects and I'm not gaining weight.  I straddle the line of healthy/ overweight BMI so I'm not worried about that.  I have been eating more healthy foods and I'm making a point to be more active outside of the gym.

    Upcoming Appointments: First trimester scan on this Wednesday, and regular prenatal on June 14th.

    How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Great! Just got a real little bump instead of bloat (baby #3). Been so gassy though.

    Questions: None!

    GTKY: What's the hardest thing you've had to change/give up since while pregnant? Honestly, not much 🤷‍♀️ I don’t drink much  normally and still eat all the “no-no” foods 😬 


  • @ladybird_ladybird I love your announcement! Super cute, even if the kids weren't cooperating!
  • @ladybird_ladybird I absolutely love your announcement! I also think its so much better that they aren't cooperating! Its so adorable!
