What's going on this week? We found out we’re having a boy! It definitely helped lift my spirits and was a much needed joyful celebration 💙

How far along are you? 12w6d

Upcoming appointments? This afternoon I have a regular OB appointment. I really need to hear that little heartbeat today.

Cravings/Symptoms? Energy is slowly creeping back, evidenced by my house looking less condemnable. I could still sleep 15 hours a day. My appetite is still really weird. Lots of aversions. And it’s starting to cause me to lose some weight. This happened with my first son, so I’m not too worried. I know I’ll bounce back soon.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? I’m never making an afternoon appointment again. The day is dragging! Blah!

Questions? None.

<div>What's going on this week? Had a great appointment Wednesday for my NIPT draw and an impromptu Doppler 😍 Tomorrow our new market leader will be visiting all day 🎉 and conducting interviews, so it's a relief to see them getting the ball rolling to try and pre-empt any upcoming staffing issues but not sure how great an idea that was for a busy Friday. 🙄 Not thrilled that this is the lady who told the Admin to put in the req, who took it upon herself to blab before my pregnancy was even confirmed. AWKWARD!!! And I'm pretty sure my manager mentioned it to her already, the fact that I heard it through the grapevine, which is completely inappropriate. :/ Sigh. Is tomorrow over yet??? Lol

</div><div>How far along are you? 10+6

Upcoming appointments? NT scan is Feb 12, but Saturday we are telling DHs side of the family!

Cravings/Symptoms? So tired. Just exhausted all the time, really. And not sure it's a true, "symptom," but I did something to my neck several weeks ago, and it's really killing me, still. Like starting to become semi-debilitating due to the pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion. Ughhh. Not what I need right now. Saw the chiropractor twice, and I plan to go back again next Wednesday... :/

Rants/Raves/Randoms? Stupid neck pain and DHs utter lack of GAF / Custom announcement onesies, big sibling tee shirts, and Mexican dinner out / Did I mention my coworker is also pregnant with the same EDD as me?

Questions? Anyone else planning NOT to go back to work after baby?

@tyrion_ Congrats on Team Blue and another great appointment! 💙 Nice work getting the house pulled together too</div>

What's going on this week? So happy it's Friday!! Had a crazy day yesterday and crazy morning. Is it 5 yet?!

How far along are you? 10w1d

Upcoming appointments? Just scheduled my appt with the genetic counselor for the ultrasound on 2/18. Then my next ob appt is 2/24.

Cravings/Symptoms? Nausea is lessening but still comes in waves. Just so tired. I've limited my caffeine to the weekends unless I'm basically dying at work. Hubs and I went for ramen last night and it was so good that I want to eat it again now. And then we went home and ate ice cream... bc I can always eat ice cream. We have our groceries delivered and hubs added a bunch of ben and jerry's for me (and him)...

Rants/Raves/Randoms? My arm is still sore from the NIPT draw yesterday / It's Friday and mac and cheese and pierogies are on the menu tonight... give me the carb goodness / I feel bad for hubs bc he wants to cuddle (and I'm usually a huge cuddlebug) but I just cannot with his breathing on me. So many things are just irritating me now... and I'm not exactly nice about it either... I gotta work on my tone.

Questions? When are you considering the end of first tri? My dr said 14 weeks bc that's when most symptoms calm down, but I see varying lengths online. I'm asking bc I really want to book a massage near Valentine's day but I'll be just over 12w. I've been dying for a massage. Hubs and I were getting a spa day for each other for Christmas before we knew we were preggo, so we are overdue!!

@tyrion_ OMG I love your private reveal!! So sweet! Yay for baby boy and so wonderful you got to hear the little heartbeart!! Glad your energy is coming back too... I'm still searching for mine.

@BusinessWife How exciting you got a surprise to hear baby's heartbeat! So wonderful! I hope your days flies by! The girl who spread your news hasn't apologized?! And she has the same due date?! Sorry your neck hasn't gotten any better... would switching pillows help at all? Try to take a long shower tnt and rest up. Good luck with your reveal this weekend!! Sounds fabulous! Enjoy the mexican... yumm!! I'll be going back to work after baby comes... just how soon is TBD. Planning on telling my boss next week since I'll need to take a half day on the 18th for the genetic counselor, and feel like I should fill him in on what's going on... although I'm sure he is suspicious. I really wanted to wait until after NIPT, but oh well.

@ziggymama06 I’m counting it at 13 because my practitioner last night congratulated me on the second trimester 😂

@BusinessWife I’m still shocked she did that. How can people be so thoughtless? I’m so sorry. Hope it didn’t make a busy Friday even more hectic, though.

@ziggymama06 I say go for the massage! It's not any kind of hard fast rule when 2nd tri begins, because it's just based on different ways to figure the math. Moreover, a massage is not going to hurt the baby! I think some places may say that because they don't want to invite the liability if there were any early loss, anyone could come back and say they caused it. You'll be fine, and personally I would go sooner than later w hike it's still easy enough to lay in your front. Later in pregnancy, they will try to prop you up on all these pillows, may or may not have a table with a hole that still supports under the bump, I would just go sooner the better so you don't have to go looking for a special pregnancy massage place. In fact, now I want one too! 😀

@tyrion_ I actually didn't bring it up with her at all, only my boss. And then HER boss was here visiting and I never really got any one on one time with her, it was a bit rushed and a crazy day, so it didn't come up. I still haven't shared with my team, so I'm not even sure if she knows that I know that everyone knows. And tbh, I'm not even mad (just lesson learned) if she did spill to our boss, because idk, whatever. She's already interviewing to start covering staffing issues and anticipated openings, so if knowing sooner lit a fire, that's not a bad thing. I'm more pissed that HER boss, when she asked the Admin to put in the req, didn't impress enough on the admin not to say anything! She is such a gossip, and maybe she just can't help herself, and Michelle wouldn't know that because she is new to the company. But dude. Be clear with people. This is not yet public information. Or for that matter, you can ask her to open the req without specifying why.

So not like I'm mad really, i am just playing dumb, and Lisa played her whole "woman's intuition" thing which is probably BS, but I'd rather keep the peace than blow things up. Not sure when I want to go more public with the work announcement, but we'll see after this weekend. I also want to find out about my RAISE!??? What gives? Other people have found out already, but my raise info is held up in the system somewhere, my boss thinks my last boss has it; he doesn't know where to even look???? I give up! Lol

And also, this is me just utterly exhausted. Tossing and turning with the baby for the last 3 hours, and DH wants to know why I didn't get up with the alarm.... <<Reinsert JT gif>>

@BusinessWife Thanks! I was wondering if i could still lay flat on my front... I dont see why not? Jeez, I totally see why you are trying to just keep calm/quiet and let this play out. Whoever knows already knows she's a gossip and not to be trusted. I hope things calm down at work and that you get that raise!!! You totally need a massage too girl! Ugh... hope baby and you sleep better tonight.

[Deleted User] · February 2020

@ziggymama06 yeah, definitely go for it while you still can. As long as it's still personally comfortable enough to lie on your tum / back, you're good. You'll know when you're far enough along that you can really only comfortable lying on your side. ;)

As for my neck too, idk. We might try to find me a better pillow, but the truth is I do feel better when I wake up in the morning.... And as the day goes on with work and stuff, it just gets worse and worse. I feel myself favoring it and turning my whole body, instead of turning my neck, moving stiffly, having trouble to bend over and pick something up etc. So we'll see. Maybe it's stress related? If I recall, I may only have 12 covered chiro visits per year, so I don't really want to have to burn through them all now for my NECK, when I still have seven more months of pregnancy, and how many months pp when it might be more beneficial. Idk. :/
