Re: Weekly Check-in, Week 4+ (10/22-10/31) - 4/13
Week of pregnancy: 12w4d
Upcoming Appointments: NT ultrasound tomorrow, regular OB visit on 4/24
Rant/Rave: Rave - Loving my new split work schedule - I go into work a few hours each on Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday mornings and everything else is from home. Rant - It would be really cool if someday the store had toilet paper and Clorox wipes.
GTKY: What's the last show you binged? Why should we watch it? Queer as Folk, in its entirety. I had watched the first 3.5 seasons when it originally ran and decided it was time to fill in the gaps. Lots of lovely gay boys have lots of hot sex. What's not to love?
First BFP on 1/4/22. Due date 9/13/22.
Week of pregnancy: 12w
Upcoming Appointments: My two appointments got moved to the same day, so I only have to go once. I have two back to back appointments on 4/20.
Rant/Rave: Rave - My boyfriend has been making me food, and taken on much of the housework, so I don’t have to get up when I feel sick. Every morning he makes me a bagel with cream cheese, so I don’t get up on an empty stomach.
Rant - Still annoyed that, since everything is shutdown, all that is advertised on TV seems to be food. Makes me feel sick or crave it depending on my current state.
GTKY: What's the last show you binged? Why should we watch it? Haven’t really binged anything lately. We did watch Tiger King, but I could only handle one episode at a time.
Week of pregnancy: 12w 4d
Upcoming Appointments: May 5th, at the birthing center.
Rant/Rave:
Rant: my husband has been working a lot (which is good), but he’s also training for his summer ultramarathons so he’s gone a lot and I feel like I’m doing everything. I know I shouldn’t complain and we discussed his races before he signed up for them so I was aware of the training commitment, but it’s just been challenging. Rave: My son is at the cutest age right now so he always makes me smile and I’m so happy to be spending so much time with him (I just wish DH was around more so we could do things as a family).
GTKY: What's the last show you binged? Why should we watch it? I’m currently re-watching the Gilmore Girls. I’ve seen it so many times, but it’s funny and I can even get my husband to watch it with me.
Week of pregnancy: 11 weeks 6 days
Upcoming Appointments: this Thursday
Rant/Rave: I just had an ultrasound this morning with the specialist and everything is good! I had a miscarriage in December so I was SO nervous! Such a relief.
GTKY: What's the last show you binged? Why should we watch it?
Schitts Creek- one of the best shows of all time- hilarious writing, excellent cast, so fun!! But also binging Arrested Development right now.
Week of pregnancy: 11w5d
Upcoming Appointments: 4/21 (week from today)
Rant: I want to eat at a restaurant so bad. DH and I ate out at least once a week before, and I didn't realize how much I love to sit at a restaurant, order something nice, and eat food that I didn't have to cook! Now I get jealous of people on TV when they get to go out to eat without giving it a second thought.
Rave: We took photos this weekend for our pregnancy announcement. We got to spend time in the beautiful sunshine, I put on makeup for the first time since quarantine (well, a long time before quarantine, to be honest), and for a little bit things almost felt normal. The pictures turned out so cute and we're excited to finally share the news with the world!
GTKY: What's the last show you binged? Why should we watch it? Community. It's smart, funny, and now on Netflix! Win win win!
Week of pregnancy: 12.4
Upcoming Appointments: Today (NT ultrasound and blood work for NIPT) and Thursday with my new doc.
Rant/Rave: I've been waiting for so long for the snow to melt that I really hope the government still allows us to go for a walk once the weather is nice. The ultrasound today took forever but I was able to look at the screen all the time and that was awesome! Could also FaceTime my SO for the last 5 minutes. It's been a great day but now I'm exhausted again.
GTKY: What's the last show you binged? Why should we watch it? I really liked Outlander, Scottish accent becomes so sexy after a couple episodes!
Week of pregnancy: 12
Upcoming Appointments: Apr 21 for NT scan (boyfriend can't come, he's super bummed) and Apr 23 for my monthly check up
Rant/Rave: I had lots of cramps around week 6, and I was so glad when they stopped, and THEY'RE BACK! Just constant mild cramping for nearly a week now. No spotting and sounds like it's pretty normal but it's super annoying.
GTKY: What's the last show you binged? Why should we watch it? I've been rewatching Oz at a pretty good pace, hard to binge watch anything when I cant stay awake on the couch though. If you're feeling like you're trapped at home lately, watch Oz and be thankful for all the freedoms you've got! Also it's got 56 hour long episodes so it will kill a lot of time.
First BFP on 1/4/22. Due date 9/13/22.
Due with baby #2: Feb 2022
First BFP on 1/4/22. Due date 9/13/22.
Week of pregnancy: 11w6d (baby is measuring 12w4d)
Upcoming Appointments: was in the ER Tuesday, next actual appointment is 5/18
Rant/Rave: This whole pregnancy has been one scary thing after another (bleeding or spotting most of it so far, tons of pains, then contractions) but after the visit to the ER they found I had a fibroid which was most likely the reason for the bleeding and pain and a UTI, most likely causing my contractions so while I’m annoyed it took almost 12 weeks for answers I feel so much better and confident about this pregnant. I’ve been expecting to lose the baby pretty much daily which has sucked.
GTKY: What's the last show you binged? Why should we watch it? Schitt’s Creek. We were late to the game, and starting watching it the beginning of this last season on Netflix and then just binged the last season these past couple of nights. The first episode I was like “WTF am I watching?” But it was so funny and a good mindless show to watch, which is what I needed.
@mamabear0416 So glad things are looking up!
Week of pregnancy: 12+1
Upcoming Appointments: Virtual apt next month, not scheduled yet
Rant/Rave: I had the materniT21 test 9 days ago and they still haven't called me with results. I asked for the medical assistant to just let me know if they dont have it yet so I can stop worrying, and she hasn't responded all day. I'm really not impressed with her at this point.
GTKY: What's the last show you binged? Why should we watch it? Greek on Hulu. It is certainly cheesy, but it is lighthearted and silly and reminds me of my college years. I wasn't in a sorority, but it came out when I was in college and I used to watch it with my roommates, so re-watching it is bringing up good memories.
Week: 12
Next appointment: 4/22 for both ob and mfm
Rant/rave: this is both. My company laid off 40% of staff today (very large non-profit, hurting bad from very low donations). I still have a job, but am being demoted to my previous role after getting a promotion in February. Lost many friends today, but am thankful to still have a job.
GTKY: not bingeing, but really digging Top Chef this season!
