FTM/STM/STM+:

STM+, this is my 5th pregnancy, 4th baby.

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out:
Most likely finding out.

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of:
A dot snail, according to my Ovia app.

Upcoming appointments:
None yet.

How are you feeling?:
Nauseous and tired and pretty anxious.

Rants/Raves:
E-learning will be the death of me! We opted for e-learning versus in person knowing that it would be difficult with our family dynamics but felt it was the socially responsible thing to do. Our school district gives us so many hoops to jump through and is providing zero flexibility. I am irritated because I feel like it makes the e-learning teachers' jobs harder too; most of them doing the virtual learning chose to because of their own pandemic family dynamics. Its all very frustrating.

Questions:
none right now :)

GTKY: What is something that is considered a luxury, but you don’t think you could live without?
Easy! We pay someone to fold our laundry. We are a family of 5, my husband and I are on opposite shifts and I am also doing an online masters in public health. We wash and dry the clothes and she comes on Wednesdays and folds them. Its a life saver. We used to have a mountain of laundry on our basement couch to pick through lol. Not any more! Best.Decision.Ever.

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Poppy seed

Upcoming appointments: 11/2 for a zoom intake visit with one of the PAs, also trying to get an u/s scheduled for around 7 weeks (so same week as that appointment)

How are you feeling?: PGAL brain is making me super anxious. I feel nauseous, tired, hungry, and bloated.

Rants/Raves: Raves today is yay for long toddler nap time.

Questions: None currently

GTKY: What is something that is considered a luxury, but you don’t think you could live without? iPhone or DVR

@disgruntled_pelican having someone fold laundry sounds amazing! Does she put it away too?

disgruntled_pelican · October 2020

@MelissaMay82 - She does not. She's offered before, but I have to have *some* dignity, ya know?

MelissaMay82 · October 2020

@disgruntled_pelican I know what you mean, I would feel a little weird having someone put my clothes away. That is my least favorite chore though. I don't mind doing laundry and I actually don't even mind folding it, but I absolutely hate putting it away.

disgruntled_pelican · October 2020

Our big thing is everything has to be multi-tasked. We rarely have time to sit down and focus on one thing. Most nights I don't sit down for time to myself until 10PM and I'll be darned if I am going to fold laundry! Putting it away can fit into a multi-tasking lifestyle, folding, not so much.Unless we multitask our down time- no thanks!

FTM/STM/STM+: STM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Finding out. I feel like and hope that this one is a girl.

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Poppy Seed

Upcoming appointments: I need to call and make my appointment, but I've had a few labs done to check hcg and progesterone

How are you feeling?: Blegh. Insomnia isn't constant but a random night or two I'm up most of the night. Then my gagging is so much worse the next day. Food just doesn't sound good, which is really weird for me, but an empty stomach makes me nauseated, so it is a vicious cycle.

Rants/Raves: My rave is that my toddler has been extra sweet. I think he knows I haven't been feeling great.

Questions: None at the moment

GTKY: What is something that is considered a luxury, but you don’t think you could live without?

Once every two weeks we have a wonderful woman that comes and cleans our house. Worth every penny

nlc_atx · October 2020

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: June 17 / 21 (depending on if you go by last period or ovulation)

FTM/STM/STM+: FTM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: I'm team green but my husband wants to know ASAP so TBD :)

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Round cupcake sprinkle

Upcoming appointments: My first appointment isn't until November 17 but I'm meeting with a doula next week.

How are you feeling?: Mostly just nervous! I've been a little nauseous and I keep waiting for it to just worse. Otherwise, I'm really tired (but this is pretty typical for me) and some cramping. Cramping was bad enough to wake me up last night... which isn't helping the fatigue.

Rants/Raves: How are you supposed to get anything done when all you can think about is that there is a baby?? I've been browsing message boards and birthing centers and every other thing I can think of through all my meetings this week.

Questions: When are you thinking about telling people? My BFP was Thursday and by Saturday I'd already had someone notice me not having a drink and ask if I was pregnant. I'm thinking I'll tell my sister this weekend and my husband will tell his best friend, but otherwise we'll wait until after my first ultrasound before telling anyone else.

GTKY: What is something that is considered a luxury, but you don’t think you could live without? I have someone come clean every 2 weeks too, and it is the absolute best!

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a BB pellet or apple seed

Questions:

GTKY: What is something that is considered a luxury, but you don’t think you could live without?
Ohhhhh like every day luxury? Probably my phone/internet. But like something most people consider luxuries? I don't get them often but massages. Im actually in desperate need of one now

FTM/STM/STM+: FTM

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

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: black peppercorn

Upcoming appointments: June 26th (: first appointment

How are you feeling?: exhausted all the time and mood swings but good other than that

Rants/Raves: my husband doesn’t understand that I am super tired all the time because all my energy is going towards the baby right now. He complains I’m tired all the time and I say it’s because of the baby but he’s like “the baby is tiny right now” or something like that. There’s a lot going on in there right now tho and he doesn’t get it.

Questions: none at the moment

GTKY: What is something that is considered a luxury, but you don’t think you could live without? Takeout! I am usually too tired to cook a decent meal at the end of the day and my husband does NOT cook so we eat out quite a bit more than we should but it takes so much off my plate to get done
