Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Finding out

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: kidney bean or raspberry

Upcoming appointments: My first OBGYN appointment is on Wednesday

How are you feeling?: For the most part, still ok. Nausea is no where near as bad as it was with my son and I'm able to eat. Not many aversions but I'm craving red meat all the time, which is funny b/c that was my main aversion most of my first pregnancy. I've been super fatigued so I've been taking more naps this week...unfortunately, bc the extra naps, my workouts have taken a hit this week but hoping to get at least 4 workouts in this week.

Rants/Raves: Rave: feeling not terrible! Rant: Needing all the naps is really taking a toll on my productivity!

Questions:

GTKY: What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured? I was 5 weeks pregnant last time when I stepped off a box during a Crossfit workout and sprained my ankle really bad. It was so dumb.

How are you feeling?: Awful (not that I mean to complain) 24/7 nausea even with medicine, very tired and have zero energy at all.

Rants/Raves: Before this pregnancy I was doing HIIT workouts everyday, mowing the lawn the entire summer and able to stay active and feel strong. Now, I can't do a thing.

Questions: Who's ready for all things fall?

GTKY: What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured? When I was 12 I broke my tibia and fibula in 5 places in a spiral fracture sledding down a 6 foot hill (that takes talent I know lol).

GTKY: What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured? Earlier this summer, my husband was showing off on the playground with the kids. I decided to one-up him and do some swinging gymnast upside down thing on the bars. Failed miserably, bruising my ribs and ankle. My ankle still has some swelling over a month later.

GTKY: What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured? I fractured my ankle the weekend before junior year of high school started by stepping down wrong from the bottom stair. Missed the first day of school, went the second day, was so exhausted and in pain I was out the rest of the week until a cast could be fitted. I missed SO MUCH driver's ed.

bcashaw · August 2020

@juliebeannn @travandas i feel you guys onnthe exercising, i had such a great routine down and now its hard to get out of bed 🙄

@Knottie1430080773 i feel you on the exhausted insomnia. I have no problem falling asleep during the day if i get the chance, but sleeping at nighttime is a whole other story. Also, maybe you can change you sn? Its really hard to tag you.

Im barely eating because i just cant hold it down when he is around. I went away for 4 days and he said he would quit while i eas gone but he didnt and it sucks not being able to be near him.

Questions:

GTKY: What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured?
I went on a waterslide and punctured my eardrum. It took AGES to heal.

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 3/5, 9+3

FTM/STM/STM+: STM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Undecided (but we were team green with #1)

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a cherry

Upcoming appointments: First u/s a week from today

How are you feeling?: I'm finally starting to get over some of the nausea and exhaustion. I'm definitely still tired a lot and feel gross sometimes but it's a lot better than it was a week or two ago!

Rants/Raves: DS goes back to daycare next week. It's been nice to spend more time with him but I'm ready for him to go back! And I think it will be good for him to get some socialization and spend time with some people besides me and DH.

Questions:

GTKY: What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured? It's a very minor injury but when I was a young teenager I was doing a dance spin in the hallway at my parent's house and smacked my hand on the corner of a bookshelf. There's still a small, hardly noticeable scar.

juliebeannn · August 2020

@amw2013 I'm so sorry!!! Please take care.

mvt2003 · August 2020

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 6 weeks today

FTM/STM/STM+: FTM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Finding out

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a sweet pea

Upcoming appointments:Ultrasound on Friday

How are you feeling?: I may be getting the start of some nausea, which would definitely reassure me at this point! I'm definitely feeling tired, and I'm relying heavily on to-do lists at work because my brain is shot!

Rants/Raves: We're supposed to get the remnants of the hurricane up here in New England, not looking forward to the storm! (We had some severe storm damage last month that we're just now getting cleaned up, and I also really do not want to lose power.) I also had to call for a refill on my progesterone, which is a first for me. I've had to order the standard 2 boxes of meds plus my trigger shot before, but I've never made it far enough to need more progesterone!

Questions: Nope

GTKY: What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured? The day of my second beta for this pregnancy, I was really nervous and convinced it wasn't going to double, and when MH called me into his office to see the lab results I was so excited I hugged him really hard and pulled a muscle in my back! I ended up in a not insignificant amount of discomfort and had to ice my back for several days. I am convinced it helped pass time though, worrying about my back instead of my pregnancy

swbecca528 · August 2020

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 8 weeks 2 days

FTM/STM/STM+: STM+

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: I think we are going to find out!

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Raspberry

Upcoming appointments: Tomorrow is my first appointment.

How are you feeling?: I am starting to feel better but the mornings are super rough for me still.

Rants/Raves: My school finally released their back to school plan and I will be remote for the first 2ish months!

Questions:

GTKY: What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured? This is a good one, when I was in 3 my mom told me to "run into bed" and I literally ran into my bed. 20 stiches later!

kloe818 · August 2020

@Ghostie625 Thank you for saying something about feeling better. I'm 9 weeks today and noticed that yesterday I wasn't exhausted at all and started to think something was wrong. Today I'm nauseous and sleepy so I'm relieved but knowing that others feel better around this time helps calm my PGAL mind.

FTM/STM/STM+: STM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Finding out.

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Lentil

Upcoming appointments: 8/13

How are you feeling?: Mild nausea throughout the day and just really fatigued!

Rants/Raves: I have some work related drama going on that has me feeling really on edge at the moment. I have also been so tired lately I haven't worked out since Friday and when I'm feeling stressed that is typically my best coping mechanism. I'm also just feeling bummed that I haven't worked out in a few days because I have been doing so well and I don't want to fall off the band wagon. I'm entering this pregnancy at one of my lowest weights as an adult which is completely opposite from my last pregnancy! I worked so hard after having my daughter to get down to where I am at now and I don't want to "un-do" ALL of that hard work. I realize I will obviously gain weight and that's fine, I just want to stay active as much as possible.

Questions:

GTKY: What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured? I had an awful cold in December and I was coughing non-stop. The coughing resulted in pulling a muscle in my chest which was one of the most painful things I had ever experienced. They actually thought I may have cracked a rib because of how hard I had been coughing but I had an X-ray done and they didn't see anything. So I literally injured myself from coughing!

@swbecca528 I'm sure you are relieved to be home at least another 2 months!

@bcashaw Cigarette smell would absolutely kill me too. I can't stand the smell when I am not pregnant so I can't imagine having to smell if while already feeling nauseous. That's so tough but hopefully he does take this as an opportunity to kick the habit soon!

@kloe818 I'm sorry to hear about the bleeding! Could you call your office and tell them you changed your mind and would like another u/s?

@treebagel Good luck at your appointment tomorrow!

@juliebeannn I had a hard time with meat during my first pregnancy too. So far I haven't had any aversion kick in but I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

@knottie4130080773 Hi! You should consider changing your screen name to something you pick out yourself so that it is easier to identify you and also tag you! There are lots of "knotties" that pop up because that's the default name and we may not be able to tell you apart.

mvt2003 · August 2020

@knottie4130080773 Just adding to @jenotontx that you might need to go over to The Knot and change your username there first, come back to The Bump and log out and back in for it to work.

@jenotontx I'm sorry for the work stress, and also for the lack of working out. I haven't done a thing since my FET and I am anxiously waiting to hear a heartbeat so I can start getting back into the swing of low impact workouts!

@swbecca528 Great news about the first 2 months! I am so worried about the school plans for so many people!

@Ghostie625 Glad you're starting to feel better!!

@bcashaw ouch I've heard eardrums are awful to heal!

@kloe818 hopefully you're feeling better now, I totally understand PGAL brain and it's the actual worst. We're counting down the days over here until my ultrasound.

@treebagel I totally understand the feeling of grateful to feel awful

PGAL brain is so freaking hard.

@amw2013 I am so sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourself!

@travandas I am also SO freaking ready for fall. I will probably put out my fall decor soon! I also was in literally the best shape of my life in May and June - I had finished 2 rounds of 21 Day Fix and 1 round of 21 Day Fix Extreme, and was running regularly. And now I'm too scared to do anything until I hear a heartbeat!

@juliebeannn Haha and now I want to go take a nap!

Ghostie625 · August 2020

@swbecca528 I’m jealous you get to start online. My school is attempting to start 100% in person. I’ll have 150+ kids in and out of my room every day and I don’t have enough space in my room to socially distance them properly. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m sure we won’t make it past the first couple weeks before we’re forced to go online again. That’s assuming we even make it to the start of school before the state calls for us to be online...

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Blueberry

Upcoming appointments: Dating US 08/14 then 1st OB appointment 08/20

How are you feeling?: Definitely more nauseous and tired this week. I've started to only want carbs and fruit...forcing myself to eat veggies and meat.

Rants/Raves: Rants: Trying to wean my son, but he got all his 12 month shots yesterday and thus was super fussy. We are down to just a morning and bedtime feed and I told myself I was dropping the morning feed this week...will attempt again tomorrow haha. Raves: Everything Bagel with cream cheese and lox was awesome for lunch today. Asked if my husband gets to attend the 1st US and they said he could for the last 10 minutes, so I'm excited for that, definitely was prepared for him to miss out.

Questions: None yet

GTKY: What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured? I fractured my foot by landing wrong on my foot once walking down the stairs.

kloe818 · August 2020

@jessg2223 I've been mixing plain Siggi yogurt with Everything but the Bagel seasoning and spreading it on crackers or using it as dip for weeks now. It's.... the bees knees. ;-)

juliebeannn · August 2020

I'm 8+3 today and my symptoms seem to have disappeared. So I feel great but now my brain has gone haywire and I'm all worried that there's something wrong. My first OB appointment was supposed to be this afternoon but they lost power during the storm yesterday so they rescheduled to Monday. Ugh.

bcashaw · August 2020

@juliebeannn i was like that yesterday, but then today i am 200x worse than i have been this entire pregnancy.

Rants/Raves:

Questions:

GTKY: What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured? I once had to step out of a client meeting to grab some paperwork and, when I came back in the conference room, I absolutely crushed my thigh on the pointy corner of a console table. Wanted to cry. Ended up with a softball-size black and purple bruise.

swbecca528 · August 2020

I had my first appointment today and its TWINS! We are shocked and it is going to definitely take some time to set in! Twins do not run in either of our families so this is not something we have thought much about. Are there any other moms in the group expecting twins?

juliebeannn · August 2020

@bcashaw First tri is such a mind f*ck. Like, a ton of symptoms and you just feel like crap, but if they go away, your mental health goes down the toilet. Sigh. I hope things settle down a little for you though!

@swbecca528 Wow!!! Double congratulations!!!

bcashaw · August 2020

@swbecca528 i believe we do have another twin mama, but i cant remember who it is!
@juliebeannn hopefully everything settles down and we both feel our best physically and mentally soon

manillabar · August 2020

Upcoming appointments: just had my first OB appt yesterday

How are you feeling?: everything is gross

Rants/Raves: we're still out of power, so we're staying at the ILs for a few days. Apparently the power company is saying most people will get power back by the 11th. I'm hoping that it'll come back sooner :-/

Questions:

GTKY: What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured? Not a big injury but when I was in elementary school we went to a farm with a petting zoo, and I got chased by goats, fell, and ended up with a bloody nose and a lot of cuts and bruises lol

GTKY: What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured? I cut myself with a butter knife a few weeks ago

juliebeannn · August 2020

@manillabar Oh no! I hope you get power back sooner than the estimate. Are you in NJ by any chance? A lot of my area is estimated to have their power back on the 11th, also. Thankfully, we didn't lose power.

manillabar · August 2020

@juliebeannn I sure am! Glad you didn’t lose power too!

jenotontx · August 2020

@swbecca528 Oh my gosh another set of twins for the group! Have you been having stronger symptoms compared to your previous pregnancies? I'm not going to lie, the thought of having twins straight up terrifies me. I actually have twin sisters but they are identical so it shouldn't be genetic. lol

My symptoms are a little stronger than when I was pregnant with DD, but nothing that I thought a lot about. I had super bad nausea with her so I just figured it was another girl! Now that we have known for a day I am scared out of my mind. It will defiantly take some time to set it.

How are you feeling?: Surprisingly good! Exhausted, but not much nausea.

Rants/Raves:

Questions: nope

Questions:

GTKY: What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured? Got a new blender and the blades go all the way up the blender instead of just at the bottom....after I made my smoothie and went to grab the blade out of instinct and ended up at urgent care with a pretty nasty cut on my thumb!

How are you feeling?: nauseous and tired

Rants/Raves: just found out I pretty much can't do anything active or fun be ause there is a pocket of blood behind the placenta but the rave is baby is still healthy

Questions: I'm a huge crime buff but I get scared the the baby will hear the shows im watching. So I stop watching while pregnant. Is anyone else the same way?

GTKY: What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured? I always stubb my toes. Which always breaks my big toe nail and it hurts and looks ugly most of the time

juliebeannn · August 2020

@tiff_a I'm a huge crime buff too and had to stop watching during my first pregnancy bc they would seep into my super vivid dreams, and that was nooooo fun. Haha.

tiff_a · August 2020

Luckily they don't end up in my dream but I'm scared the baby will turn in to a serial killer or something lol

Upcoming appointments:1st trimester anatomy scan is end of month. I'm getting my NIPT bloodwork next week!

How are you feeling?: gross, exhausted, not much of a change

Rants/Raves: more of an apology for lack of activity. The Bump app doesn't work well on my phone so I really only check this when I'm at work and have easy access to a desktop. And we lost power at work this week during the storm so my ability to check in and read up has been limited. no clue as to when we will get power back...hopefully next week?

Questions:

GTKY: What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured? I dropped a TV on my foot. That was great.
