Upcoming Appointments: 9/25 anatomy scan and OB appt
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): good! Noticing some BH when I get dehydrated so that’s fun.
Rants/Raves: Rants: sometimes it really sucks to not have a drink in social situations with friends Raves: we went to see Billy Joel on Saturday and soon as the music started baby was definitely moving around before settling down.
Questions:
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Spanish, I feel it would be very helpful in our country.
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out next Tuesday
Upcoming Appointments: 9/24
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): I’m not having many symptoms.
Rants/Raves: I have a horrible cold, and I had to use one of my sick days today. ☹️
Questions: none
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? I would learn Spanish. I teach middle school and about 1/3 of my students are fluent in both Spanish and English.
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Feeling almost normal! Still no sensations of movement from baby.
Rants/Raves: Rave: new fridge was delivered on Saturday! I finally have my kitchen back!! Rant: went grocery shopping to replace everything that we had to throw out, and cost us around $350 😅
Questions: none.
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? French 🇫🇷 It's such a beautiful language! I also plan to visit Paris many more times throughout my life, and would love to be able to interact more effectively with the locals.
Baby is the size of a(n): sweet potato or artichoke (these seem different sizes to me!)
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: pink
Upcoming Appointments: next week we finally have our anatomy scan and f/u visit
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): RLP in full force, very hungry. I had tummy issues with the dreaded H last week so hoping that stays away.
Rants/Raves: Rant - I lost my credit card like three days ago and still haven't found it. I know no one has been using it but such a pain to cancel since I will have to redo my automatic payments. I should do that today though.
Also my co-worker's daughter is also a Feb DD and just had a sad thing happen and for some reason she thought it appropriate to tell me about it and it's made me super paranoid and I haven't been feeling baby kick so I've just been a ball of nerves and can't wait until our next appt.
Rave - DD had her first dance class on Saturday and seems to have loved it. She was super shy and we weren't allowed to watch but she seems excited to go back.
Questions: none
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Probably Spanish since it would be the most useful. However we were bought by a French company last year so speaking French could also be helpful. But also my in-laws all speak Portuguese so that would be cool. I should probably learn another language.
@tennislove30 - hope you feel better!! @jvk2012 so cute your baby is a Billy Joel fan!
Me: 38, DH: 36 Married Jan 2008 DD Baby Bells born Dec 2016 5 lbs, 12 oz, 18" so in love Due with #2 Baby Arya EDD February 2020
Baby is the size of a(n): Folded up pair of
sunglasses/weighs the same as a hockey puck
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Green
Upcoming Appointments: 9/29 regular ultrasound… 10/17
anatomy scan because the one guy who does it is booked out the wazoo.
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Still having
regular morning sickness… going to talk to my doc about a prescription to help.
Rants/Raves: Rants: Everyone I work with is getting on my last nerve this
week and it’s only Monday morning. Rave: Frosted Mini Wheats Pumpkin Spice is out and I CANNOT
GET ENOUGH... might be a craving lol
Questions: none.
GTKY: Spanish! I took it all
through high school and freshman year of college but somehow everything I’ve
learned has vanished from my brain. My hope with baby is to speak a little elementary
Spanish at home in hopes he/she will be smarter than me and know to stick with
it for life 😊
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: purple! (I think this is the right term for one of each? Someone please correct me if I’m wrong haha)
Upcoming Appointments: Oct 9th anatomy scan
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): still nauseous/vomiting without meds, some break-through nausea even on meds; not really craving anything per se, just impressionable. Sweating more? Peeing a lot at night. Starting to be uncomfortable bending over.
Rants/Raves: it’s hot today after a couple nice days. Hrpmh. Rave is that there’s football on tonight.
Questions: anyone else feel like they’re sweating more? It’s more than even when it was consistently warmer out. I feel like I need to bring deodorant to work or something!
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Practically speaking, Spanish. It’s the most common translation request we get at work. I would love to learn more ASL though! I think it’s beautiful. I learned a lot as a kid in camp and can still spell and know a few words but it would be great to be able to actually have a conversation with someone.
Upcoming Appointments: anatomy US next friday...Cannot wait!
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): I’m craving pastries and sweets and everything sugary! Helpppp! Also now I’m craving cereal thanks to this thread 😂
Rants/Raves: We got our first baby gift today from a good friend! It was especially sweet because she’s going through infertility issues right now. It was really thoughtful.
Questions: Who all has felt kicks? Any first time moms feel them yet?
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? I minored in French and though I haven’t used it in quite some time, when I’m around French speakers it does come back. I wish I could use it more regularly! I’d also love to learn German and Italian.
Upcoming appointments: Oct.1 I have my 20 week ultrasound and my monthly OB appointment right after that.
How are are you feeling?: Still so dang tired all the time! Thankfully both my girls are in school so I can take my daily naps and not feel guilty. I’m so bored though with both of them in school. I thought about getting a seasonal job but the thought of being on my feet all day and probably having to work Black Friday has me saying F that. Um, other symptoms include sore/bleeding gums, breakouts all over my face and neck, super gassy, and non-stop hunger.
Rants/Raves: I ordered a travel system from Target on the 3rd. Shipping label was created on the 4th and was supposed to be delivered by the 10th. As of now, status still only says shipping label created and delivery date pending. WTF is going on? I’m so stress-pissed. It’s shipping Indiana to Wisconsin so no hurricane delays either.
Last night the girls dance teacher told me how impressed she is with my girls and their technical skills for their ages. She went on to recommend them for competition team. If we weren’t having a baby and if I had significantly more money then that would be something I’m sure my girls would love but as is, it was still flattering to hear that even if the only credit I can take is paying for dance classes. Lol.
GTKY: I took 2 years of Farsi in college as part of my Middle Eastern Studies minor. I loved the language and wish I was more fluent in it/wish I knew o people near me I could practice speaking it with.
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Lots of food aversions still, mostly meat. I don't know if it counts as a craving but, give me all the carbs!!
Rants: My principal announced at a meeting yesterday that we would be having data meetings every Tuesday and to not schedule other things on Tuesdays. I told her I already had my anatomy scan scheduled for after school on a Tuesday and I couldn't change it. She was quite snippy in her response. I'm not changing my anatomy scan for you lady! I'd probably have to wait another month! So now I'm taling a half day just to be spiteful.
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? I'd like to become more fluent in spanish. I can handle the basics and I understand most of what others are saying. However, I can only speak in the present tense. 🤣 It would be super helpful as many of the families at our school are Spanish speaking.
@kjeepers87, ugh to your principal! If she just told you now and your appt is soon then you should definitely get a pass for a pre-existing appt that has to be done in a certain time frame!
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): a lot better overall. Still not a ton of energy— I can get what I need to get done finished, but I don’t have a lot of steam leftover for things that I enjoy.
Rants/Raves: still hot in the desert 😢 / ftm and have been feeling baby squirm — so strange and awesome.
Questions: pregnancy acne treatments? Mines getting better but... not great.
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? — Navajo (Diné)... my husband is Navajo and we want our girl to learn:.: I’ve taken one class. It’s super difficult for me (and I’ve forgotten most of what I did learn).
@fallonpartyfor2 I wouldn't consider myself HG but I've been taking zofran since week 9 for unrelenting nausea. I still get breakthroughs even on the zofran but overall MUCH better.
