Re: Group 1 Check-in (DD 2/1 - 2/7) w/o 6/17

  • Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: 2/5/20 - 6+5

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

    Baby is the size of a(n): Back of an earring

    Upcoming Appointments: June 27. Can’t wait but I’m nervous! 

    How are you feeling?: Crummy. I’ve been dizzy and very nauseous. Lots of dry heaving. I’m also really tired. This part is always so rough. 

    Rants/Raves: I want to be in bed every night by 8pm, which hinders our relax time after our boys go to bed. Rave is that husband is supportive of this. 

    Questions: No

    GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? I love summer the most. I hate being cold and we live in Texas, where it gets really hot. Some don’t like it, but I enjoy just wearing shorts and throwing on flip flops. It also makes it easy for us to go places with our boys, since I’m not having to bundle them up. I also love pool time and margaritas. But, obviously having to put margs on hold this summer. 😫

    Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: FO

    Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry 

    Upcoming Appointments: June 25th.. can’t wait to get an ultrasound!

    How are you feeling?: Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

    Rants/Raves: I have no energy to do my normal activities aka dishes and making food for my 3 DDs. And the puking everyday is getting old. 

    Questions: 

    GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? Fall in Michigan is the best. All of the leaves changing colors, apple orchards, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, the clothes, boots, scarves, pumpkin spice lattes, the smell of outside, Halloween.. it’s love. 
  • Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: 2/5  6+5

    Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team Green for now. But I’m sure I’ll cave. 

    Baby is the size of a(n): earring post

    Upcoming Appointments: My first appt is 6/26. I cannot wait to confirm this pregnancy!! 

    How are you feeling?: Nausea comes and goes but mostly I’m really tired. I tried to make sure my husband had a great Father’s Day, but it wasn’t easy when I just wanted to curl up or run to the bathroom. 

    Rants/Raves: okay...this is a really petty rant. But at a family lunch yesterday my sister made an obnoxiously loud comment about me being pregnant because I didn’t want to order mimosas with her. It put me in such an awkward position because I don’t want to lie to people...but I’m also not ready to announce until I have my first OB appointment. Ugh. 

    Questions: none yet! 

    GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? That’s a tough one. I live in SoCal so we really only have 2 seasons. I guess I’ll choose fall. I love scarves! 
  • Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: 2/6/20 - 6+5

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

    Baby is the size of a(n): Earring post

    Upcoming Appointments: June 24 for weekly BW & US (IVF pregnancy so close monitoring until 10w)

    How are you feeling?: Tired. So very very tired. 

    Rants/Raves: I keep having random mood swings that are making me feel like I’m losing my mind, and I want to eat everything that is bad for me. Why?!

    Questions: Anyone else have spotting around this time? I started yesterday morning (luckily right before our RE appointment). Of course panic ensues, but our little bean is doing just fine! Heart was beating away, numbers came back great. We could see the blood clot in our US, and Dr said the placenta must have just hit a blood vessel which is fairly common. Anyone else have a similar experience?

    GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? I love everything about the fall and so does DH 🍂🧡 We got married in late October and enjoy all of the typical fall activities — pumpkin and apple picking, bonfires, hot cider, and just spending time outdoors in the beautiful weather! We are so excited that we’ll be around 26 weeks for Halloween — hopefully will be showing enough to come up with some fun costume ideas 😬

    Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: FO

    Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry?

    Upcoming Appointments: 6/28 - too far!

    How are you feeling?: Low level nausea at all times, sore boobs and extreme food aversion.

    Rants/Raves: Made a grocery list of beige foods I can stomach and my husband instead bought SRIRACHA potato chips, EVERYTHING bagels and off-brand Cheez-its. Not cool.

    Questions: Tips on dealing with the nausea at work/out and about? I work in the food industry so there are SO many smells on a daily basis.

    GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)?

    Spring / fall for the 2 weeks they seem to last in Chicago.
  • Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: 2/7/19 and 6+4

    Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Still can't decide!

    Baby is the size of a(n): ladybug 🐞

    Upcoming Appointments: July 9th

    How are you feeling?: Worried, a lot of worry. 😔 I don't know what I'm supposed to feel like and I don't have a lot of symptoms so I feel discouraged. I've been pretty tired, I think I've felt some nausea but not enough to need to throw up. Boobs aren't as sore these last few days. Been running to the bathroom a lot lately. I wish Google didn't exist sometimes. 

    Rants/Raves: I have to work a 10 hour shift after my first appointment with the midwives
     
    Questions: Does anyone else feel as worried and discouraged as I do? 

    GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? Yeah, I'm a basic bitch and i just love fall. I live in bluff country in Southeast Minnesota and it's incredible here that time of year. My DH and I spend a lot of time with our dogs and it's just nice to be outdoors during that season. And I love jeans and sweaters haha. 

  • @foreveronyourside I was feeling the exact same way - worries that my very mild symptoms indicated something wrong. But my symptoms have just started to increase as 7w+, and I had my first ultrasound and everything looked great! You can definitely have mild symptoms without it signaling something negative. 
  • Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: Feb 2 / 7w+3d

    Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Definitely finding out 

    Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry 

    Upcoming Appointments: July 11 

    How are you feeling?: Overall ok. Feeling kinda bloated, nausea has set in and food aversions aplenty, but no vomiting. I almost audibly retched at smelling my colleague’s lunch yesterday but I caught myself. Breasts hurt like crazy when I wake up in the middle of the night, but that fades during the day. Starting to notice the fatigue, needed to hit the sack at 8pm last night which is very unusual for me. 

    Rants/Raves: I am an IVF patient so I was able to have my first ultrasound early, yesterday! This is our first time so we were totally floored by seeing that tiny flicker 💓. Baby has a strong heartbeat so we are feeling blessed and hopeful that all continues to go ok. 

    GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? Fall, hands down. 
  • @hannahw44 Congrats on seeing the heart beat! That’s such an amazing moment! 
  • @hannahw44 Thank you for the response! That gives me comfort that I am not alone in the way I feel! Congratulations on seeing a strong heartbeat!!!!! 
  • Est due date /Weeks+ days: Feb 7th 6wk 6days

    Team finding out/blue/pink/green: really hoping to not find out. 

    Baby is the size of a(n): chocolate chip

    Upcoming appointments: today June 19th then July 8th

    How are you feeling:  intense nausea, and my gag reflex is out of control. Other than that I just want to sleep. Beyond tired. And I have a toddler with croup and he shared his cold with me. So that’s super fun!

    Rants/Raves:  I’m still trying to wrap my brain around another pregnancy, as my last was not easy and ended with a lot of complications for me. And I just left the doc only to find out it’s twins! Again!  So I’m in a weird place mentally right now. Still trying to process everything I think. And a little terrified. Ok a lot terrified. 

    GTKY: favorite season/holiday etc: I love them all honestly. We live in the Pacific Northwest and have great seasons. I’m not a huge fan of winter because I hate being cold. But I do love to decorate for Christmas so that kind of helps offset my disgust at the temperatures. Haha!

    Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: 1/31 (I might switch over), 7+5

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

    Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry

    Upcoming Appointments:just had one on June 17, next one is July 4th

    How are you feeling?: Nauseous all day every day. I honestly can't focus on any other symptoms because the nausea is pretty overwhelming

    Rants/Raves: got to see LOs heartbeat at 150bpm

    Questions: None

    GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? Christmas? I just like the decorations and family time ♥️
  • Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: Feb 6 7 weeks

    Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: team finding out. Hoping for a bit since we already have a girl 

    Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry 

    Upcoming Appointments: Jun 22 is our ultrasound! Can't wait :) 

    How are you feeling?: getting super nauseous... Trying to keep eating like last pregnancy but it's not helping. Thinking of buying some candy to nosh on. I picked up some dried mangos from Costco and they are really hitting the spot right now! Water is starting to taste funny to me... Time to pick up some fizzy water I guess. I'm not super constipated like last time but I feel like it's going the other way right now... I just want to have normal bm's again, lol! Trying to remember to get up slowly so I don't get dizzy and black out. And so fatigued... I just want to sleep forever 

    Rants/Raves: I was so anxious when I wasn't nauseous but now I just want it all to stop 

    Questions: anyone breastfeeding right now? Are you going to wean or continue throughout your pregnancy? 

    GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? I just love holidays so fall/winter are my favorites. I am normally cold so looking forward to being warm and pregnant during this winter! Last time I was pregnant, I didn't even have to wear a jacket during the winter. I just wore a thick coat and a cowl. It was heavenly! 
  • @clearlyclara I'm currently BF'ing but we're starting to wean and I think will wrap up in the next month or so. I'm going to be away from ds for a week in late August so that feels like a good stopping point. Are you bf'ing? 

    Est Due Date/Weeks + Days:  Not totally sure, first week in Feb, 7 something weeks

    Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green:  Finding out, feel like it's a boy but who knows

    Baby is the size of a(n): ladybug

    Upcoming Appointments:  Ultrasound on Monday, midwife on Wednesday

    How are you feeling?:  Things are setting in more this week...nauseous, exhausted, bloated, blah

    Rants/Raves:  A proposal I submitted to present at a conference was accepted! 

    Questions: If you have similar symptoms in different pregnancies is it more likely it's the same gender baby? 

    GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)?  Summer! 

  • @shellac835 symptoms have not been a prediction of the sex in my case. I have had wildly different symptoms with all of my pregnancies and have three boys! Lol 
  • @shellac835 yup we are currently bf'ing but only twice a day... I wanted to make it to she is 2 yrs but my nips are starting to hurt really badly during a feeding session! Maybe I'll wean her around August/September... Haven't decided yet
  • @shellac835 This is my first so I don’t have personal experience but almost everyone I know talks about each pregnancy being different even if it ends up being the same gender baby!

  • @therealbitts @brookert615 Thanks! I have totally convinced myself I'm having another boy because it feels exactly like my last pregnancy, but maybe not! I'll be looking forward to finding out.

    @clearlyclara It's hard to figure out with pregnancy! I've heard some women really dry up halfway through so who knows what plans our bodies will have  ;)
