Re: Group 4 (July 25-31) Check-in w/o 12/16
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Green
Baby is the size of a(n): Raspberry
Upcoming appointments: January 10th 12 week visit and dating ultrasound
How are you feeling? Unisom has been helping for the first part of the day, but I'm usually nauseous and vomiting by late afternoon.
Raves/Rants:
Questions: Has anyone taken a small dose of unisom through the day to help with nausea? I've just been taking a dose at bedtime.
GTKY: What's on your Christmas list? I asked for a book series I've read a million times. The Eve Duncan series by Iris Johansen. I love reading all types of genres, and it's been a few years since I read those, so I'd like to read them again.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: I really want a girl, but we are waiting! I anticipate leaning on DH's willpower heavily as this process goes on.
Baby is the size of a(n): Blueberry right now. Will be a raspberry later on this week.
Upcoming appointments: 8 week ultrasound on Thursday. Please let everything be okay.
How are you feeling? Nausea and fatigue. The boobs were hurting this morning, but thankfully that has gone. I'm also quite anxious about the ultrasound. Our embryo was of insanely high quality and the RE was really thrilled so I am trying to focus on the positive. There is no reason our baby isn't developing on schedule. Certainly the nausea is increasing.
Raves/Rants: I want to be in bed, but I have noone to cover my job. Technically one of the clinicians can. I was out a day and a half last week and I don't want to put upon her too much, especially not leading up to the holidays.
Questions: -
GTKY: What's on your Christmas list? Other than a healthy baby showing on that ultrasound, I want a week where I have nothing to do but read and take my pupper for a walk. I really don't need anything though I wouldn't mind a gift card to a nice restaurant. Something for DH and I to enjoy together.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We decided we will find out. I don’t want to do a crazy reveal but we just found out we are getting to take our kids to Disney when I’ll be right around 20 weeks. So my plan is to have my A/S before then and we will open up the envelope at Disney.
Baby is the size of a(n): Strawberry I think
Upcoming appointments: January 7
How are you feeling? Pretty crappy. I’ve had a sinus infection. And also been dealing with all day nausea for a week now which is new to me.
Raves/Rants: above mentioned - going to Disney. My kids are going to love it.
Questions:
GTKY: What's on your Christmas list? A vacation alone for a week. Just kidding, I’ll take a spa day or massage or heck, a walk around target without anyone.

Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming appointments: US and appt with MFM on 12/23
How are you feeling? Absolutely horrid. All day/night nausea and vomiting every few days. I can’t take any of the morning sickness medicine because it isn’t safe for nursing. I take half a unisom at night, which is the only safe option, which at least allows me to get out of bed the next day but I can’t get any food in. I’m almost down 10lbs at this point and I’m afraid they are going to say I have to wean my daughter at my next appointment.
Raves/Rants: rant- I love my daughter dearly, but she is teething and wants to nurse 2-3 times a night. I am so exhausted and so burned out by it. She screams and cries if dad goes in to comfort her at night. I don’t know how much longer I can keep going at this pace.
Questions: nada
GTKY: What's on your Christmas list? A pair of slippers with a hard sole.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): Blueberry
Upcoming appointments: This Thursday, Dec. 19th
How are you feeling? Tired, sore, nauseous, heartburn
Raves/Rants: Over the weekend the moodiness and heartburn symptoms have started settling in. I would love to have an ultrasound done just to check that everything is OK in there. Here, first ultrasounds aren’t typically done until about 16 weeks. They can be done sooner if symptoms show that something may be wrong. So long to wait!
Questions:
GTKY: What's on your Christmas list? Foot bath
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): Soon to be Raspberry (tomorrow)
Upcoming appointments: Nothing scheduled yet. Doc is supposed to call this week to set up the next one with me.
How are you feeling? Very very emotional and moody. Just feel gross with no nausea
Raves/Rants: Rant: I am so exhausted with everything going on around me. I need a break and I don't see one in sight with the holidays coming up.
Questions:
GTKY: What's on your Christmas list? I asked for a weighted blanket. I love blankets and I hope it will help me sleep better. Ideally, I would love a night alone in a hotel room. haha
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Upcoming appointments: Next Monday--ultrasound. It will be our second
How are you feeling? randomly feel sick--smells really bother me, tired, and my anxiety is weird
Raves/Rants: I have always disliked our bed--but now it is making me miserable. Like I feel all out of sorts when I wake up. My 4 year old always sleeps with us--so I am thinking about sleeping in his bed!
Questions:
GTKY: What's on your Christmas list? Ehh, I can't think of anything I need (other than a different bed)
@kc0711 Bless you for continuing to nurse. We (I haha) decided to wean once I found out I was pregnant because I was just so tired. We were almost weaned anyway so the transition hasn't been all that bad. It ended up turning out for the best because I've been having issues with my back and haven't been able to pick DD up in almost a week.
EDD/weeks+days: July 26 / 8w 2d
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team Green
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming appointments: Dating u/s on Saturday and honestly it can't come soon enough!
How are you feeling? My back has been so sore, which I think is only partially pregnancy related. I had a suspected herniated disc in the summer which got better with treatment, but has been sore again since I think the moment I got pregnant. This week has been out of this world sore, but of course there's nothing to be done about it. Going to pelvic floor physio on Friday and praying that provides some relief. On the plus side the back pain has distracted from the nausea.
Raves/Rants: Rave: my husband has been amazing taking care of our daughter (and only complaining about it a little bit) Rant: haven't been able to get in the Christmas spirit cause I'm just in too much pain, I'm sad about because it's my favourite time of year!
Questions:
GTKY: What's on your Christmas list? A ladder, a drill and some sheets lol.. Actually I also asked my husband for a gift card so I can buy myself some new makeup.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out!
Baby is the size of a(n): Raspberry
Upcoming appointments: Dec 30 OB appt
How are you feeling? So tired and lazy and ready to hibernate for about a month. Also super sensitive to weird tastes and smells
Raves/Rants: My DH has been a rockstar with taking on the majority of the workload around the house. I was a blob on the couch all day on Sunday and he just let me be. My toddler, on the other hand, not so much. He’s in a very “mama mama mama” stage currently and it’s a struggle to be there for him the way he needs because my energy is so low. I have to keep reminding myself it’s a temporary phase and I’ll be (hopefully) feeling better in a few more weeks.
Questions: nope
GTKY: What's on your Christmas list?
A solid week of sleep would be nice 😂 Also, chocolate
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry! And fits on a dime haha
Upcoming appointments: had a good US today. Next OB app 1/8.
How are you feeling? Just “flu-ish” from the afternoon on. Want to just lay down
Raves/Rants: rant-ish. Now that we’ve had a good US I’m ready to start looking into baby things. SO MUCH anxiety over things to look over and research haha
Questions: I don’t think any. Husband and I are currently discussing genetic testing. We like all information given to us. But if it shows something serious I wouldn’t know what to do.
GTKY: What's on your Christmas list? Really wanting a roomba! And some backpacking equipment(but won’t be doing at backpacking next summer I’m guessing
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out at 20 week ultrasound
Upcoming appointments: had one today, so not for another month now!
How are you feeling? So relieved after a good ultrasound today! But also super exhausted. But also grateful for the mostly lack of nausea this time around, now that I know there’s a growing baby inside.
Raves/Rants: I love my midwife so much. I would love to hang out with her if that wasn’t totally crossing boundaries to do.
Questions: she told us about a new genetic test today that just kind of stressed me out. I ultimately want all the information, but the idea of dealing with uncertain results just sounds so hard.
GTKY: What's on your Christmas list? I don’t know! Everyone in my family is asking me this and it stresses me out!

playing die/blueberry
Upcoming appointments:
12/24 for my first ultrasound, finally!
How are you feeling?
nauseous and exhausted, happy I'm finally over my cold
Raves/Rants:
Stressing a little bit about my maternity leave already. I'm a teacher and will likely have my admin certification by the time the baby's born. I would love to look and potentially start an administration job in the fall but I feel like it's unlikely considering I'd have to miss the start of the school year.
