Re: Group 1 (May 1-8) Check-In: w/o 9/2
Pink/blue/green: Not sure yet but definitely finding out!
Baby is the size of a(n): black peppercorn
Upcoming appointments: I have appointment this Friday to check hcg levels and an ultrasound. *TW I was admitted to the hospital over the weekend due to pain in my left ovary. They said I have a corpus luteum cyst but didn’t completely rule out ectopic as they couldn’t find an embryo, however, said it may be too early to detect so I’m going in Friday for a follow up to make sure everything is okay. Hope to see baby where he/she needs to be!
How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good just some cramping here and there
Raves/Rants:
Questions:
GTKY: What state do you live in? Texas currently but we’re supposed to move sometime in December to Georgia (DH is in the Air Force). Or possibly Nebraska, so who knows but most likely Georgia!
Pink/blue/green: Dunno yet, but will for sure be finding out when we can.
Baby is the size of a(n): Sesame seed. Will be the size of an apple seed come tomorrow, though.
Upcoming appointments: Beta this afternoon, and possibly again on Friday morning. Will also run my blood for other prenatal screening stuff since I'll be 35 soon.
How are you feeling? Great! Besides some nausea that comes and goes, I'm feeling awesome. I was able to get a 2 mile run plus some yoga stretching afterward this morning. I don't feel as exhausted as I thought I'd be post-workout. Trader Joe's ginger chews have helped with the nausea.
Raves/Rants: September has always been an awesome month for me. It's my birthday month! And I found out yesterday that I will for-sure be advancing to E7 next year.
Questions: Nope, not yet.
GTKY: What state do you live in? Virginia! Coastal area on the peninsula, kinda between Colonial Williamsburg and Virginia Beach.
Due with baby #2: Feb 2022
EDD: 5/3
Pink/blue/green: Not sure whether or not we're finding out this time. We didn't for DS, but might this time.
Baby is the size of a(n): apple seed
Upcoming appointments: 3rd beta draw next Monday, then first u/s mid-late next week! Nervous and excited!
How are you feeling? So far, so good! My boobs are sore, but otherwise good symptom-wise. I did get diagnosed with shingles last week, so that has been awful, but I'm told it shouldn't be a big risk to the pregnancy. I'm still anxious about it, though.
Raves/Rants: I cannot wait for this rash to stop hurting so much. It's making sleeping difficult. I finish up my week of antivirals tomorrow, and I'm not entirely sure they really did anything.
Questions: Not really!
GTKY: What state do you live in? NH
ETA I forgot to put my state.

@thinkpositive2017 - yes we live in a 1 bedroom apartment. We actually just renewed our lease for 2 more years. This was 1 month before we conceived. Luckily it's nicely sized and we should be fine. We just have to get creative with space.
