Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Team Finding Out
Baby is the size of a(n): Headphone earbud
Upcoming appts: Thursday! Can't wait!
How are you feeling?: Really awful. I am struggling right now with fatigue, headaches and a lot of nausea. It seems to be the worst right when I wake up and in the evenings before bed. Just trying to take things one day at a time.
Rants/Raves: I'm really excited about my first appointment on Thursday, but the first appt always makes me a little nervous. I'm just hoping everything checks out ok. Unfortunately, my husband can't come to the appointment because he's traveling for work, so my mom will come with me. I'm ok with that, but she also has to bring my three boys. They don't know about the pregnancy yet, so I guess the cat is about to be out of the bag because they can't keep secrets AT ALL.
Questions: None.
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? Ah, it's hard to pick one thing! He is so kind and generous, and he sets a terrific example for our boys. I am lucky to have him!
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): earbud!
Upcoming appts: FRIDAY
How are you feeling?: Better overall, which is making me nervous. Nausea was bad end of week 5 through beginning of last week but is letting up? Still have food aversion.
Rants/Raves: Tried the acupressure wristbands - they seemed to work immediately but now I’m not sure if my nausea just waned naturally. Anyway worth a shot for $10.
Questions: Just a lot for my OB
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? For any ennagrammers, he’s a 7 and I’m a 6 so I appreciate how his personality complements mine and he makes life so much more fun
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): piece of uncooked macaroni and now I want macaroni.
Upcoming appts: July 11th
How are you feeling?: For the most part ok. Yesterday, I definitely felt pregnant. Lots of nausea and was exhausted. Today, I feel much better, (faint nausea, boobs aren't very sore) which the worry wort in me hates. lol But I just have to keep telling myself I have no negative symptoms, so calm the F down.
Rants/Raves: Nothing really.
Questions: None
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? Everrrythang. He is my best friend and I am so thankful to have him as mine for my life. He is the best Dad to our daughter and I can't wait to see him become a Dad to this little one.
@therealbitts So sorry you're feeling so poorly! I hope it lets up soon.
EDD/W+D: Just had an ultrasound and finally have a due date! 2/7
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out, convinced it's a boy
Baby is the size of a(n): tic tac
Upcoming appts: U/s today, first midwife appt on Wed
How are you feeling?: Not too bad! Super tired and small bouts of nausea, but can't complain much
Rants/Raves: So thrilled to get confirmation that things look good today! And loving this pregnancy so much more than the last, I just feel happy and excited about the baby rather than terrified about becoming a mom/giving birth, ha
Questions: None this week!
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? Both his drive (with himself, his job, everything,) and the way he relates to me. We're so different and I love how we balance each other out.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out and can’t wait!
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Upcoming appts: July 1st! Finally under a week away!
How are you feeling?: this is my third pregnancy and I am siiiiccckkkk! Nauseous all day, very tired, and I get the chills a lot (then get very hot once I warm up and rapidly remove layers... then get cold again). Super nose doesn’t like the way anything smells. Generally very whiny 😆
Rants/Raves: I think I ranted enough about how I’m feeling so I’ll rave. My youngest is turning three this weekend and I can’t wait to celebrate her!
Questions: none
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? He is my best friend! We have been together since high school and we just love to be together. He is so funny! We laugh just about every day.
Baby is the size of a(n): earbud...random, but at least it’s not food-related.
Upcoming appts: Wednesday!!! I’m so excited. I really just want an u/s to confirm this is real.
How are you feeling?: my stomach is NOT my friend. I can barely brush my teeth without gagging.
Rants/Raves: work is so busy right now and I feel soooo lazy. It’s a really bad combination.
Questions: not yet!!
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? Sooo much. He’s really great with our daughter. He’s such a natural protector. He may not be overly gushy with his words (despite being a writer), but he always gives the best hugs when I’m down, surprises me with flowers and treats, and is there whenever my family needs a helping hand.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out. Thinking girl.
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming appts: had my first today! Baby is doing great.
How are you feeling?: Still sick. Nauseated allllll day.
Rants/Raves: hurt my ankle over the weekend and it hurts to walk ugh
Questions:
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? He is my favorite human so I love so many things but there is no denying his amazing character. He’s just such a good man and treats everyone with respect and love. We’ve been together since we were 15 (30 now) and watching him grow into this wonderful person has been such a privilege.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: hoping green but I doubt we can keep it a surprise
Baby is the size of a(n): uncooked macaroni
Upcoming appts: July 8th
How are you feeling?: Pretty awful, I’m super cranky, short on patience (my poor kids) and I just feel sick constantly, horrible gag reflex, my cold is beginning to let up so that’s a plus I guess. And the fatigue is kicking my butt!
Rants/Raves: still trying to work up the nerve to tell family, and having a lot of mixed feelings about another twin pregnancy and everything that comes along with it.
Questions: none that I can think of
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? Hmm, hard to pick just one thing. He’s always so supportive and go with the flow. He puts up with my craziness. And he’s really a great dad. We’ve also been together since high school. Seems like forever! Haha!
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): Raspberry
Upcoming appts: July 12
How are you feeling?: Nausea is letting up...is that normal? Starting to feel real fat...probably because I have been eating exclusively beige carbs for last two weeks.
Rants/Raves: Looking forward to telling people in a few weeks..I’m getting sick of finding ways to avoid drinking or finding ways to do decoy drinks 🙄
Questions: should I be concerned that my nausea is fading?
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? His devotion to our family.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green:probably green at this point. My DH doesn't care and I don't know what I want
Baby is the size of a(n):Gummy bear
Upcoming appts:July 16 for my first prenatal checkup and the NT scan on Jul 22. We can't wait to see the baby again!
How are you feeling?: right now ok. I will probably be nauseous later.
Rants/Raves: I had a couple glorious nausea free days early in the week, but they were accompanied by horrible indigestion that left me in pain. So the return of the nausea yesterday was kind of a blessing.
Questions: none at the moment
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? So many things. Lately, how he has uncomplainingly completely taken over cooking and cleaning despite working full-time because I have been so exhausted and sick-feeling.
Maybe not the place to post... apologies for any etiquette I might be violating. **TW**
EDD 2/3/2020
We went in for a transvaginal ultrasound the day after confirming pregnancy with my OB. He thought I was about 8wks and I was thinking between 6-8wks. SonoTech said we were measuring closer to 6wks and was struggling to locate a heartbeat. We figured it was weird that the measurements were off and baby was just smaller than expected, but not really concerned.
SO even sent a picture of us holding the sonogram print out to his mom to announce our surprise pregnancy. We had just told our 8 & 6 year old the night before. After the sono, we met with my doctor and it took us a while before we actually realized what he was telling us. Baby measuring at 6wks (at around 8wks) meant that growth had most likely stopped at 6wks.
Even though this was a surprise pregnancy, it was really hard to hear. I feel lucky to have two sweet children and that I’ve never experienced miscarriage before, but I’m feeling a little lost and sad. Saying goodbye to you Feb Mommas and hoping I’m not bringing anyone down or giving anyone bad feelings. I just hadn’t told many people, and feel the need to get these feelings off my chest. **end TW**
Thanks for our time together,
Meredith
@clearlyclara Thank you for your words. Yes, I made an appointment to go next Friday 7/5 to be sure and to plan next steps, but my usually optimistic OB wasn’t very optimistic with us. He kept saying, I don’t want you to lose all hope, but then he said he was sorry several times and hugged us both. It wasn’t really a “Let’s wait and see what happens” type of conversation.
I guess in the back of my mind there’s like a 1% chance that this little babe will show up with a heartbeat next week, but measuring so far behind, I’m guessing it would be a long, uncertain road either way. ❤️
My sister is due in August (in 6 weeks, eek!!!!!) she said she didn't start feeling nausea until about 9 or 10 weeks.
