Re: Weekly Check-in, 3/30: Oct. 1-7
Week of pregnancy: 12+5? (I don’t remember which day of the week this is.)
Upcoming Appointments: Was supposed to have my NIPT today but they canceled me because I reported a minor sore throat. OB checkup tomorrow.
Rant/Rave: Can I rant about constipation? No, that’s probably TMI! 🤣 Today after he finished working my husband went and picked up a UBake pizza from my favorite pizza place, which he hates... and also got a few more to stick in the deep freezer for later! He’s been so tolerant of my cravings.
GTKY: What's the weirdest dream you remember? I had a dream as a kid that the Space Needle (Seattle) tipped over. But not fell over like a tree—bent in half like the structure melted so the base was still normal but the needle part was sticking into the ground. Then some time later I had a follow-up dream where they rebuilt it, but never took the old one down. My husband says he’s jealous of my weird dream—I have them often.
Week of pregnancy: 13
Upcoming Appointments: 4/22
Rant/Rave: I've been feeling the first trimester symptoms disappearing, and this week (week 3 of social isolation) I've been more productive. Yesterday, I baked! But my latest rant is the threat of dads not being allowed in the birthing rooms because of hospital restrictions. I told DH yesterday that if things are still this bad come October, we'll shell out for a doula and have a home birth (while we really like this option, it is not really in our budget, but we'd do it if need be).
GTKY: What's the weirdest dream you remember? Recently, or ever? The weirdest one ever involved me shrinking down to Thumbelina size when I entered a library, and being chased by dinosaurs (tiny normally but full-scale as Thumbelina). I managed to escape the library and return to regular size, but the mini dinosaurs continued to chase me down the hall.
Week of pregnancy: 13 weeks today
Upcoming Appointments: April 13th- I’m high-risk so I still have in-office appointments.
Rant/Rave: Having the hardest time focusing (especially with working from home, but it’s everything, really)!
GTKY: What's the weirdest dream you remember?
I had a dream that Bradley Cooper and Paul Rudd were living in my garage and running a drug cartel, and never paid rent, but they did take me to the hospital when I was in labor. Then they turned into dinosaurs and my son was doing a dinosaur experiment (like in Dino Dana) and he couldn’t figure out what kind they were, so we became famous for discovering a new type of dinosaur. It was bizarre.
TTC since: 2/13
Long, anovulatory cycles
Began fertility testing 12/13
Ultrasound and bloodwork: Everything looks good (according to my ob/gyn)
HSG: waiting to schedule
SA: scheduled with RE for 1/6/14
Week of Pregnancy: 13 +3
Upcoming Appointment: 4/17
Rant/Rave: I’m so hungry!!! All the time!! DH is fantastic about us eating whatever I’m craving, but I really don’t want to gain more weight than necessary. I already feel like my belly is too big for 13 weeks (gained 9 lbs since BFP). 🤦🏻♀️
Week of pregnancy: 13
Upcoming Appointments: 4/2-have to do a 3 hour glucose tolerance test (I know it’s early, see below)
Rant/Rave: I had to do the 1 hour glucose challenge test early because I have PCOS. Did it last week and they called me today and said I borderline failed. After getting off the phone, I broke down in tears. I’m going tomorrow morning to have the 3 hour test done. I’m hoping I pass. Before pregnancy, I had a big sweet tooth but since getting pregnant, I don’t care for sweets other than fruits. Feeling defeated because I’ve been eating healthy and exercising for a while before and since getting pregnant and I feel like my PCOS makes things so freaking difficult.
GTKY: What's the weirdest dream you remember? When I was a kid, I had a really vivid dreams about whales and dolphins swimming just right outside my bedroom window. Still remember it to this day.
Week of pregnancy: 13+2
Upcoming Appointments: I had one yesterday for my NT scan and then a meeting with the OB. Next one is in 4 weeks and then in 6 weeks is the anatomy scan already!!
Rant/Rave: I was told I have placenta previa but that it's likely that it will resolve itself. The OB was mad the technician even told me because it's so early but I'm a little bummed.
GTKY: What's the weirdest dream you remember? Recently I dreamt that I was trying to find a serial killer 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Week of pregnancy: 13+ 5
Upcoming Appointments: April 18
Rant/Rave: got my results from my nipt test. We are expecting our third daughter!! Have to admit Chinese gender calendar was wrong, Mayan calendar was wrong and so were old wives tales haha. Last rant...we went for our gender ultrasound and the tech couldn’t tell girl or boy which just adds extra confusion now. Haha hoping they nipt which is 98% true is in fact correct will find out hopefully April 18.
GTKY: What's the weirdest dream you remember? I cannot remember my weirdest dream at the moment. Haha.
First BFP on 1/4/22. Due date 9/13/22.
