ruby696 · October 2019

What's going on this week? Ugh, wildfires and so much smoke. Trying to stay indoors as much as possible.

How far along are you? 11+1

Upcoming appointments? Not until 14 weeks.

Cravings/Symptoms? Give me all the food. Bloating is still going strong. So is the fatigue.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? Rant - it's getting really hard to hide this pregnancy at work. I can make it another week until week 12, but there's no way I can make it to week 14, after my next US. I'd really rather wait and not risk having to un-tell work. Not really sure what I should do, but I'm so tired of being uncomfortable at work.

Questions? Nope.

@ruby696 Be safe with the wildfires and smoke! I say wait if you can on telling. If people get suspicious that's on them. I'm thinking I'll let my boss know after my appointment at 13 weeks but I'll see how the appointment goes. Definitely do what your comfortable with!

What's going on this week? Long week. It was my first 5 day school week after three 4 day weeks. It started with an unnerving lockdown.

How far along are you? 10+5

Upcoming appointments? 11/11

Cravings/Symptoms? Still tired. I can control my morning sickness in the morning but the afternoons are rough. A little bit of RLP or growing pains too.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? Took DD to a Halloween parade and trunk or treat. She was too cute, she kept saying she had transformed into a cat (her costume) and would change back to a girl later.

Questions? Not at the moment.

m6agua · October 2019

What's going on this week? I was busy at work all week. This weekend is going to be our last nice weekend so we are hitting up the pumpkin patch.

How far along are you? 11+2

Upcoming appointments? Tuesday! I cannot wait.

Cravings/Symptoms? Once in a while I catch a whiff of something that makes me gag, RLP, fatigue and bloating.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? DD took over a 2 hour nap. I bought some bins and organized a closet, our Halloween stuff, finished decorating inside, and did laundry. I was so productive!

Questions? Nope!

@ruby696 sorry about the fires and all the power issues. I’m also having a hard time hiding, but from friends and family. Work already knows. I had a little but of a belly before and now at 11 weeks is more accentuated from my Ute and bloat. 3 more weeks of hiding it until we tell! 😬

@jrouge12 That is so cute!

ruby696 · October 2019

@m6agua we're waiting until 14 weeks too! I have no idea how I'll pull that off at work...😂

shamrocandroll · October 2019

@ruby696 I'm starting to have a hard time hiding one, so I can't imagine hiding 2!

@jrouge12 That is so cute about YD. DS also took his costume role very seriously. They're so funny!

@m6agua What is this "nap" you speak of?

I'm jealous!

I posted this thread then never responded. Been doing that a lot lately. Too many threads!

What's going on this week? Had our 12w scan on Friday, and then just got our Harmony results back today. Everything came back NORMAL, and I am SO relieved!!!

How far along are you? 12+4

Upcoming appointments? Nothing until our AS at 18w.

Cravings/Symptoms? I'm starting to want food again, and my nausea seems to have died down finally! My boobs are still sore, and I'm still pretty tired and peeing a million times a day, but feeling good over all!

Rants/Raves/Randoms? The sex results are sitting in my email right now, and it's taking every ounce of self control I have not to open it before tonight. MH says he doesn't think he can meet me for lunch, and I'm DYING of curiosity! He says we waited 9 whole months with DS and so I can wait half a day, but that was different because the answer wasn't sitting in my email the whole time!!!

Questions? Not right now!

***lurking*** @shamrocandroll

Me stalking your results. Did you and DH open them yet?!

shamrocandroll · October 2019

@tyrion_ Hahaha! Yes, we did! I have to say finding out this way versus finding out when DS was born was a lot more anticlimactic by comparison. We pretty much say down on the couch, looked at each other, opened the message, and read that it's a...

BOY! MH immediately assumed I would be disappointed (I'm not) and started listing reasons why having 2 boys might not be too bad.

So now I guess we just hang out and wait for the next 6 months? Which is about how long it will take us to pick a name because I'm convinced DS's name is the only one in existence I like enough to give my kid, haha.

tyrion_ · October 2019

@shamrocandroll, I’m sitting here with tears in my eyes for you. So so happy for you. Two sweet little guys 💙💙 and even better that the results were low risk. Congratulations!

shamrocandroll · October 2019

@tyrion_ Aww thanks! I'm very excited!

mokay19 · October 2019

@ruby696 so sorry about all the fires! Props to you on continuing to hide it... I gave up haha

@jrouge12 I love that your DD got so into her costume at the trunk or treat 😄

@m6agua good luck at the appointment today!!!

@shamrocandroll so excited about your second little boy and everything being low risk!! I was just moving some boxes of clothes that are too small for DD and was thinking “this would save so much money to have another girl” 😂

shamrocandroll · October 2019

@mokay19 Seriously, SO much money! We have a lot of gender neutral clothes for newborn-6m because we were team green the first time, but after that they turned pretty boy-specific. I have 2 giant 50 gallon totes with vacuum packed clothes that I didn't know to what degree I'd have to go through all of that, but looks like I pretty much just have to unpack, wash, and hang them! 🎉

mokay19 · October 2019

What's going on this week? Well, I’m super late so technically it’s the next week 😂 we got snow last night!

How far along are you? 10+3

Upcoming appointments? Thursday at the OB— this will be the only OB appt that I do with her because I’m switching practices for my next appt so I can deliver at the hospital that I want

Cravings/Symptoms? Nausea, MOTN wake-ups, RLP, shooty vag

Rants/Raves/Randoms? DD has been suuuuuuch a mommy’s girl lately which, don’t get me wrong, is super cute. But I’m already nauseous and SO exhausted from this nugget inside me that I’m like “don’t you want your daddy to hold you??” And she’s like “nooooooo!” 😑😏

Questions? So! I know this was discussed in other threads before, but I think I’m going to go with a midwife again this pregnancy (as long as I like her at my first appt on 11/27) and then just possibly request an OB at delivery if I’m freaking out 😂
my question for people who have delivered with a MW before, can they give you pain meds? Haha at the hospital that I delivered DD, if you went with a MW for delivery, you were agreeing to no pain meds and I couldn’t make that commitment. But idk that’s standard or just normal at a military hospital.

ruby696 · October 2019

@mokay19 That's crazy - what does a midwife have to do with pain meds?! My hospital has anesthesiologists who do the epidurals. If you need some other kind of pain meds, the nurse runs it by whoever is on call if she needs an OB's auth. My midwife rotated between me and multiple other patients giving birth. So most of the time, my l&d nurse was tracking someone down if she needed authorization for something. And the hospital has on call OB's in case things go sideways.

m6agua · October 2019

@mokay19 I would think if there are a CNM they could order pain meds. We also got snow last night!

@shamrocandroll Congrats on another boy!! So exciting, sucks that they are completely opposite seasons though! Although I guess you never know, they could end up smaller or bigger that DS1 and the clothes could work out.

mokay19 · October 2019

@ruby696 yea, I’m not sure why they had the rules that way but that’s the way it was! I ended up being med-free anyway since it was so fast but if this one doesn’t go as quickly then I don’t know if I’ll be able to handle it!

mokay19 · October 2019

Random thought: there hasn’t been a TTGP graduate in a few weeks right? I hope there’s a large exodus soon!

m6agua · October 2019

@mokay19 Me too! I keep checking to see if anyone posts.

shamrocandroll · October 2019

@m6agua Yeah, I've thought about the opposite seasons thing, but thankfully we mostly dressed DS in layers, so I think I'll still be good with what we have for the most part!
