GTKY: Favorite vacation spot?
Re: PGAL Check-in 09/16
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? I'm doing pretty good mentally. I'm so busy with work and the kids and the dogs that I don't have too much time to worry. My symptoms are helping me now worry as well, my boobs still hurt and nausea started on Sunday, so here we are!
GTKY: Favorite vacation spot? When I was pregnant with my youngest, we went to San Francisco and stayed in a little Air BNB in the woods and did all the touristy stuff and went hiking. It was so great!

*Expected Rainbows 12/2018*
*Loss of Twin 5/2018*
How far along are you? 4 weeks, 3 days
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? excited! but of course anxious. cant wait to get past other milestones we have already passed previously. feeling a little more tired than usual, a little crampy and boobs are sore.
GTKY: Favorite vacation spot? Maui--we went for our honeymoon and again two years ago. were supposed to go this year but they changed travel requirements.
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Not many symptoms yet which I'm trying not to worry about, but I am tired and my boobs are getting just a little bit sore. The first few days after my BFP I was a bit nervous, but surprisingly I haven't been too too anxious the past couple days. I practice a lot of gratitude especially towards this pregnancy and I feel it's really doing it for me. I even bought (ordered) a pregnancy journal today 😊 I'm trying to have small goals and right now I'm aiming at the first ultrasound milestone.
GTKY: Favorite vacation spot? Kalamata beach in Greece. My ILs still have a house there and my fiancé and I spent a week there last summer and it was just perfect in every way.
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? I’m happy that I’m still having symptoms but anytime I feel “normal” I start to worry. I’m a huge planner and I’m just trying not to get too excited yet until I feel more sure. The pain I’m having with progesterone injections isnt helping - currently sitting here with a heating pad on my butt.
GTKY: Favorite vacation spot? We like to go to Ocean Isle Beach, NC - easy beach access, fun for kids, and no stress because we know the area.
@mimser I live the idea of a pregnancy journal! This is what we are planning as our last baby, so I think I'm gonna order one right now!
@ckmb_1250 Ugh, I'm so sorry for the pain from the shots. That's just awful.

How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Pretty good, tired all the time. I don't remember getting so tired so early
GTKY: Favorite vacation spot. Hawaii! Only been to Oahu once, and loved it. We were planning for Maui before COVID.
BFP: 12/16/16 => DD born 08/27/2017
@asf_0613 Never been to Maui, but its on my bucket list. Hopefully once everything is safe again, it will slowly go back to normal.
@ckmb_1250 sorry about the injections. I'm also a huge planner and have been holding back until the first ultrasound, pgal brain
