    Baby is the size of a(n): lime?

    Upcoming appointments today 1st Ob

    How are you feeling?  pretty good today, weekend was better for energy, think the infertility meds are out of system and can see the energy uptake

    Raves/Rants: 4 3/4 more days to vacation, started using food tracker again on weekend after getting on scale started out size 14 and I'm only 5'3.  My carb fest has to be cut back some.  ;(

    Questions: 

    GTKY: What's your biggest pet peeve? whining over trivial stuff at work, body odor

    @blaf322 isn't stopping those meds the most amazing feeling! Whoo hoo for you
  • @bluguitarhannah yesss! I'm like, ooooh! Look at all this extra time I have in the AM! And no anxiety over finding a good spot to put it in either! I'm really hoping the nausea gets better now too!
  • @blaf322 My stomach was quite a bit better last week. Heartburn still but not pregnant I have GERD.  No real nausea all of last week.
  • First of all YAY @blaf322 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 Dance party time. Best feeling ever, my butt is still sore weeks later, but you’re done, you did it!!

    EDD/weeks+days: JUL7, so almost 11 weeks 

    Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: green still. DH wants to find out, but I really done

    Baby is the size of a(n): baby sea turtle shell

    Upcoming appointments: not until 2020! BP/meds check that first week in January and then my f/u the 2nd week (but no actual date yet because yay military medicine and schedules)

    How are you feeling? A little better. I was given Zofran last week because I’ve lost 3 lbs to help with the nausea, and we were at Disney most of the week and I was able to eat more

    Raves/Rants: my husbands great grandmother, bless her heart, is annoying the crap out of me. She came to watch our dogs while we were at Disney (which I appreciate) but when we come back the house is reorganized the way she likes it and this time she unplugged all our Christmas lights and exterior lights just because 

    Questions: who isn’t ready for Christmas 😐😐I’m so behind and we’re traveling 18 hours to go home this weekend 

    GTKY: What's your biggest pet peeve? right now it’s people who blatantly lie to get their way. If you’re late to you appointment with me, just be honest and I’ll work you in. If you lie and say ‘you were here’ or you’re mean to my front desk, I will no show you and you’ll get in trouble with your bosses 🤷🏻‍♀️My front desk ladies rock and if you lie they’ll tell me
  • @footdrbritt not ready over here! I have *most* of the shopping done... but wrapped a grand total of 4 presents this weekend :D I still have to get gifts for the little cousins in the family and my dad... The kids are the hardest for me. 

    @bluguitarhannah I meant to say before... good luck today! Are they planning to do an US? Or just intake/meet the doc?
  • @blaf322 I am not sure.  They've already done labs but getting them to tell me has been frustrating.  I'll ask about NIPT test if they don't mention it.

    I'm not very ready for Christmas and I'm having trouble caring.
  • EDD/weeks+days: 7/3/20 11 w 4 d

    Baby is the size of a(n): lime

    Upcoming appointments u/s this Friday 12/20

    How are you feeling? I'm okay. I wish I was better. Dealing with headaches lately. But I do have poor water intake. I've been squeezing half a lemon in 1 cup of water just to be able to drink it. Plus now I can't stand onions nor the smell. Which is said because I adored onions before this pregnancy. 

    Raves/Rants: why do I crave food and things I don't eat anf haven't touched in years?! Like I don't eat seafood but I've been craving fried shrimp and now crab legs! 

    Questions: none at moment. 

    GTKY: What's your biggest pet peeve?
    Right now, it's trying to barenwith my husband as he tries to tell a story. He gets distracted and then repeats himself a lot lol.  Lord help me find peace lol

  • @k_shaunte you can eat seafood while pregnant.... unless you're just meaning that you can't stomach it. In which case, I can relate!
  • @blaf322 it's just I don't eat that type of food. I did have a stage where I eaten it for a little years ago. Just to try it.  But went back to my old ways of not eating that type of meat. Now I want it! 🤣 I'll get over it though.

    Upcoming appointments
    had my first dr appt today.  Next one is mid January. Heard a nice FHR of 159. 

    How are you feeling? 
    Shitty.  Tired, large, gagging often.  Most smells bother me.  I’d love a nap but I have two older kids that keep me busy busy. 

    Raves/Rants: 


    Questions: 

    GTKY: What's your biggest pet peeve?
    These days everything annoys me.  No serious pet peeves.  I guess one thing that really makes me angry is when someone parks right up against you.   Like I have a kid to load in the car and I need a little bit of space.  DH is really insisting we get a minivan soon though and that should solve that problem. 

  • @bluguitarhannah I’m right there with you on Christmas. I just want to have a fun time with DS, but don’t care much about the hype this year.

    EDD/weeks+days: July 7/10w+6d

    Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: green

    Baby is the size of a(n): rounding up to a lime!

    Upcoming appointments: next ultrasound on Dec 30...2 weeks!

    How are you feeling? im feeling pretty normal now, which is freaking me out, but I know we had a healthy ultrasound at 9w+1d so I’m trying to stay positive.

    Raves/Rants: we had such a fun weekend. Friday night we had a date night with cooking classes, and the rest we had tons of outdoor time with DS. We took him xc skiing and skating for the first time, and he did so great! Also, since I’m feeling relatively normal again, I’ve been enjoying an occasional cappuccino, although still indulging in my ramen and mini wheats!

    Rant: my morning didn’t start out the greatest with DH, I’m blaming it on pregnancy hormones, and plus also I don’t have any dinner plans yet 🤦‍♀️

    Questions: nada

    GTKY: What's your biggest pet peeve? Too many to choose right now, I guess one of the bigger ones today are slow walkers or who get in my way. I like to think I’m a speedy efficient walker. I don’t want people to slow me down.
  • @k_shaunte we’re due date buddies!

    How are you feeling? STILL nauseated. The last two days haven’t been so terrible, but late at night has been rough. Been taking unisom + b6 before bed. 

    Raves/Rants: still so sick... bored. MD has me off work thru this week, hoping symptoms resolve enough that I can go back to seeing my patients next week! 

    Questions: anyone heard of using papaya enzymes for nausea? 

    GTKY: What's your biggest pet peeve? 
    Hearing people chew their food.

    @samwalker714 (high five) lol. Im sure you're waiting patiently like me for the second trimester so we can feel better.  Is this your first? Do you think you will be before, or after your due date?  I like having my own predictions.

    How are you feeling? MS kicks in shortly after I take my prenatals not all the time though. All I smell at work is cucumbers (I work at dollarama) so it doesnt make sense. Starting to show a tiny bit. Abdomen feels heavy all the time.

    Raves/Rants: I just wanna be big already. & I desperately want to eat cucumbers while working.

  • @samwalker714 congratulations! First pregnancy are so exciting! That would be sweet that they would share the same month. I have 3 children and I share my birth month with 2 of them with our Anniversary lol. I'm looking to be a few days late knowing my history (deep sigh). 
  • @eljames83 ooh nice you're not constipated anymore! I can't wait. I feel like I will lose about 5lbs at least lol
  • @k_shaunte Lol, it is so nice...the last few weeks have really not been fun in that department, especially since it started getting bad right around Thanksgiving. I hope yours gets better soon!!

    How are you feeling? Awful. Headaches,nausea,exhaustion, it wasn't this bad with my 1st. This pregnancy is kicking my butt

    Raves/Rants: I wanna sleep all day long that's the only time I feel better. Also my husbands family wasn't hands on 1st time around.  The excuse was we lived out of state. But not anymore and still nothing.  It kinda brings my excitement down 

    Questions: nothing 

    GTKY: What's your biggest pet peeve? Anything my mil does. Shes fed my dog 4 times this morning.  Even though I've had the convo of u dont need to feed them we do. Her staying with us is driving me crazy. It's like living with a crazy teenager. I can go on and on. But I wont lol

  • @blaf322 yay for getting off PIO!!! 🎉🎉

    @k_shaunte Oh my gosh I can relate so hard. My husband will tell stories in such a long winded way- including so many unnecessary details...Screaming in my head ‘just get to the point!’ While trying to listen patiently is a daily activity for me 😂

    Baby is the size of a(n): Hacky sack

    Upcoming appointments: 12 week scan tomorrow! Can’t wait to see the nugget again

    Raves/Rants: Currently sitting in a coffee shop while my husband does Christmas shopping. The store was so packed I felt like I was gonna pass out if I kept walking around. So rant for my husband doing it for me!

    GTKY: What's your biggest pet peeve? Lately my dog barking at people coming into the apartment building. She has a very loud bark and it instantly puts me on edge. So a very literal pet peeve!
