Re: Group 1 (7/1-7/7) Check In: Week of 11/18
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: blue
Baby is the size of a(n): Brookesia Micra Chameleon
Upcoming appointments: 12/9 US ... I can't waiiiiit! Baby boy will look like a little gummy bear more than likely and it'll be so cuuuute!
How are you feeling? like a bucket of yuck today.... but, between now and last week, I have been feeling mostly good, so I'll take it!
Raves/Rants: I had such a good weekend with my O16 BMB friends! My friend PR'd during her half and then we went to dinner with 2 others and we lost of voices from talking so much
GTKY: What are you watching right now? Excited to see what everyone else says for this. We're watching Parks and Rec but I don't love it. It's like a 2nd rate The Office. I'm also re-watching The Office along with The Office Ladies podcast.
I want to check out Succession (I think that's the name). Several on DD's BMB are watching it and like it.
Recommendations: If you haven't watched I'm Sorry, do it. NOW! It's HYSTERICAL. Workin' Moms and Schitt's Creek are also the best! All on Netflix, of course
Semi-related... I couldn't get into season 5 of Schitts. I think I just loved all the Tina and big romantic gestures from last season too much lol
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: green for now!
Baby is the size of a(n): Apparently the size of a honey bee 🐝
Upcoming appointments 11/28 for dating ultrasound. 10 days!!
How are you feeling? like crap. I’ve got zero appetite for anything I make at home, even my morning smoothies have taken a backseat. Also I’ve been falling asleep between 8-8:30 every night, so I’m completely useless right now
Raves/Rants: I’m down to 2 pairs of dress pants for work that im rotating throughout the week, and already need to wear my jeans with the elastic hack, so that’s going well. I’m trying to hold out on buying some in between sizes but I might crack soon. My eating habits definitely aren’t helping.
Questions: nope
GTKY: What are you watching right now? We’re also watching Parks & Rec! We’re on season 5 and it has definitely gotten better! I agree that it’s not quite as good as The Office though.
Your name made me think of this and feel like maybe you'd appreciate it b/c of your username? My friend and I walked 2 miles (our cars were stuck in the hotel because streets were closed for the marathon) because she noticed an Insomnia Cookies during the race. It was 100% worth it and I almost cried when I realized I left the remaining half of my 2 cookies in the hotel once I left to go home
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: green! Looks like there’s only one in there so now I’m just going to enjoy
Baby is the size of a(n): pea
Upcoming appointments: tomorrow with RE for another US, 26 NOV for OB intake
How are you feeling? Eh, previous losses have put a damper on my excitement, but I’m cautiously optimistic
Raves/Rants: my RE...god love her...I feel like I have to jump through so many hoops for appointments. I’m a provider too, but I’ve put so much on hold and cancelled a bunch of dates because this was important, but her staff was so rude about me not being to come in Wednesday this week.probably hormones, but I’m just already perturbed—she’s 2.5 hours from my house, so it’s a whole freaking day ordeal
Questions: nope
GTKY: What are you watching right now? Greys anatomy because I can’t stop no matter how bad it’s gotten
soapy. I still watch it because I can’t stop myself lol
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Probably such a noob but what do we mean by green? Anyway I think we will find out
Baby is the size of a(n): uncooked macaroni
Upcoming appointments: this Thursday with my GP again. I think we'll review my 5 week bloodwork and do a gynecological exam. 🤞the hospital calls me soon to schedule my first US.
How are you feeling? Good, which I don't always feel great about haha. Still only a little bit of boob soreness. That's pretty much everything that is obvious. I'm just anxious to get confirmation that all is well in there. Also had a bit of spotting, I would love for it to not come back.
Raves/Rants: Social pressure to drink! I've basically been avoiding to chill with friends at night because I know they'll make comments about me not drinking and I'm not ready to tell them.
Questions: Can't think of anything!
What are you watching right now? Just started The Good Place and I like it!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): gummy bear!
Upcoming appointments: second US on the 27th. Kicking myself for not taking time off work for an earlier one. PGAL brain is killing me.
How are you feeling? PGAL brain has been hitting hard this week. I am really trying to stay positive, but its so hard. Im right in between my loss milestones, and its so hard.
Raves/Rants: I just wish I remembered what I felt like with my son. I feel like so many of my symptoms are different from last time, and it is scary.
Questions: Anyone have any cramps (sorry TMI) around when they have to poop. I feel like I am freaking myself every time I go.
GTKY: What are you watching right now? Disney+

Starting feeling yucky right at six weeks. Night is worse. I want canned peaches and fruity refreshing things. Cooked greens and fish turn me off, as well as food in general at times.
Watching YT vlogs mainly. Occasionally a Hallmark movie.

Baby is the size of a(n): Blueberry!

How are you feeling? Mostly fine? Some nausea and sore boobs.
Raves/Rants: I'm just ready to know whether we can start telling close friends or not!
Questions: None yet
GTKY: What are you watching right now? I like reading Stephen King, so I'm a big fan of Castle Rock even though I'm a few episodes behind on the second season. There are so many times I'll be watching it, and my jaw just drops. For something less stressful, I'm constantly re-watching The Office and Parks and Rec.
@mimser - I love The Good Place! It gets really good in my opinion, and I'm always surprised how they manage to stretch the story line out. I'm caught up but usually wait until the newest season is released on Netflix to watch it all at once.
@macb85 I've never seen Castle but we love all things horror (including Stephen King). Maybe I should check it out! Have you listened to The Office Ladies podcast? It's with Angela Kinsey and Jenna Fischer. It sounds pretty scripted, to me, but the fun facts they give about each episode/the series in general is so fun and makes it totally worth the scripted feel it has.

It depends, watched Lucy today. Home alone 3 yesterday sort of all over the place

Baby is the size of a raspberry, which sounds really good right now with Honey Greek Yogurt and Granola 🤤
Next Appointment: 12/10/19
Feeling so much better compared to week 6. I was in a deep, dark, nauseated hole that really had me re-evaluating my life choices, yikes! Still have nausea and feel super crappy by bedtime, but I'll take it!
Rants/Raves: My OB got a brand new Phillips Epiq ultrasound machine, and being an Ultrasound Tech I almost cried when I saw it! Ive ALWAYS wanted to try one of those out, and is it bad I was more excited about the machine initially than seeing baby???? 🤷🏼♀️😖
Questions: N/A
GTKY: Currently re-watching New Girl on Netflix and Disney+ for Boy Meets World!! ❤️ I cringe at the thought of being in a show-hole so if I need to
rewatch a show to avoid it, I do!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Pink
Baby is the size of a(n): dried macaroni
Upcoming appointments: Monday- maybe my last US with my RE before moving on the the OB
How are you feeling? Still nauseous... stopped taking one of the fertility drugs- an oral form of progesterone- which I thought might make me feel better. But nope- seems like it’s the little macaroni giving me the nausea!
Raves/Rants: We got to hear the heartbeat this week! Sounded so loud and strong- such a relief. Wish I could have laid there listening a little longer.
GTKY: What are you watching right now? The Good Place, Rick and Morty, Big little lies, This is us, greys... been watching a lot of tv - need to find a new knitting project so I don’t feel so lazy
