Baby is the size of a(n): strawberry
Upcoming appts: June 25. Also, I had the NIPT bloodwork done on Friday. Hoping everything is ok.
How are you feeling?: Feeling ok. I still get nauseous in the evening, but it’s improving.
Rants/Raves: Work has been stressful lately, and I’m trying not to let it get to me. Wine usually helps, but that’s not really an option right now. Rave is that I’m looking forward to finding out the sex of the baby in a few days and the end of first tri is in sight!
Questions: For those who have gotten the NIPT done, how long did it take for you to get results? Also, did you also get the NT scan?
GTKY: If you had to leave your current country, to what country would you choose to move (pretend language wouldn’t be an issue)? Belize!

GTKY: If you had to leave your current country, to what country would you choose to move (pretend language wouldn’t be an issue)? Honestly, I wouldn't. I love it here.

Baby is the size of a(n):lime
Upcoming appts:had my first appointment with my ob today and going for the nuchal testing next Monday
How are you feeling?: starting to feel a lot better. Still exhausted by midday, but much less nauseous.
Rants/Raves: we got to hear a heartbeat! It was short lived because I laughed, my ob lost it, and then the baby hid. But it was strong and definitely there.
Questions:
GTKY: If you had to leave your current country, to what country would you choose to move (pretend language wouldn’t be an issue)? Ireland.

Baby is the size of a(n):Lego man this week
Upcoming appts: First appointment tomorrow 7/17
How are you feeling?: Four weeks of morning sickness and im over it.
Rants/Raves: I dread getting up for work. I know I'm going to be sick. This week we are on 10 hr days, so I have to get up at 3:15am to be at work by 4:30am. Ms doesnt really subside until 11am.
Questions: Has anyone taken, or know of you can take, fmla to leave work for ms. Not like take a week off, but to leave if you're throwing up 3-4 times over the majority of the work day. Ive been reading up on fmla, and it mentions morning sickness.
GTKY: If you had to leave your current country, to what country would you choose to move (pretend language wouldn’t be an issue)? Ireland. My husbands grandmother was from Ireland. And he has a lot of reds in his family.

Baby is the size of a(n): fig
Upcoming appts: 7/26 for nuchal translucency screen
How are you feeling?: Feeling ok, sickness still comes and goes but definitely better!
Rants/Raves: Holy crap, I’m starting to show! I definitely thought I’d have more time since this is my first, but it looks like I’ll be telling people at work earlier than I’d planned since (at least to me) I think it’s starting to be more obvious. I definitely assumed I wouldn’t show til after the second trimester started.
Questions: if you have a good nuchal translucency screening and NIPT, do you still get a cvs/amnio? I’m over 35. I know this is a doctor question and trust me I will ask, but curious what those of you here may know.
GTKY: If you had to leave your current country, to what country would you choose to move (pretend language wouldn’t be an issue)? Hmmm, so many good options and I haven’t traveled that widely! Hard to go wrong with wine country in Italy.

Baby is the size of a(n): Lime
Upcoming appts: Aug 12 (just had one 7-15)
How are you feeling?: ugh, exhausted and cranky (which is just great since I work in the hospitality industry) and achy. Still feeling nauseous and getting sick if I don't eat often enough.
Rants/Raves: Got to see the baby moving on the US this week- so exciting and relieving! But honestly, so tired of going to drs appointments (feel like I've been going once a week for the past month between the dentist, my endocrinologist, OB, and therapist visits). I just want to sleep in before I have to go to work 😭

Baby is the size of a(n): lime
Upcoming appts: July 24th
How are you feeling?: Much better! So excited to start feeling mostly normal again, only experiencing slight nausea when I’m hungry and terrible acne.
Rants/Raves: My mom is seriously the best. She was so excited to learn she’s going to be a grandma and has been checking on me and baby constantly! My husbands family, on the other hand, has never been super supportive of me. They didn’t participate in the planning part of our wedding at all because they were too caught up in my SIL’s wedding a few months before. They’ve always made me feel unimportant which is so disappointing. So when they found out I was pregnant (the fourth baby on that side) they weren’t overly thrilled and haven’t checked in with me at all. Guess they’re more excited about the third baby coming in November than ours. Doesn’t help that we also live 2000 miles away instead of 10, like their other kids and grandkids 😕
Questions: Do most people get an ultrasound at their second appointment (around 12 weeks) even if they don’t have genetic testing done? I’m nervous I won’t get to see baby again until our anatomy scan.
GTKY: If you had to leave your current country, to what country would you choose to move (pretend language wouldn’t be an issue)? Ireland or Scotland. I’m in love with the Outlander series and would love to live there someday ❤️
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out but not telling anyone.
Baby is the size of a(n): Petit four.
Upcoming appts: Nuchal scan/ 12 week appointment next Thursday. Anxious about the 12 week scan, and eager to get out of the first trimester.
How are you feeling?: nauseated, tired.
Rants/Raves: A bit of both- navigating weight bias in healthcare as a fat person, especially a fat pregnant person can be super challenging. I finally felt heard this week in regards to something that I've been pushing back on, so that's a win.
Questions: None right now.
GTKY: If you had to leave your current country, to what country would you choose to move (pretend language wouldn’t be an issue)? France - specifically the Cote d'Azure/ Nice.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: We love to be surprised!
Baby is the size of a(n): Lime
Upcoming appts: July 25th
How are you feeling?: Yesterday & today were the first two days I wasn't nauseous 24/7. I was so amazed at how good I finally felt that I deep cleaned the whole house yesterday bc I feel like all I've done is lay on the couch lately 😂 Here's hoping nausea is gone for good!
Rants/Raves: Raving about my poor hubby who has been a trooper & picked up all the slack w housework lately🙌
