Upcoming Appointments? More blood work on Monday then hopefully scheduling my U/S for the week of the 9th

Cravings/Symptoms? Intermittent nausea, constant fatigue, and some mind fog. I had a vivid dream about a blueberry muffin last night so I got one today and it was sooo amazing.

How are you doing? Rants/Raves/Randoms? Doing okay. Struggling with the boredom and limitations of the pandemic and all the shots and patches and pills and election anxiety and not getting to see this little nugget for almost two weeks still.

Questions? Nope.

Upcoming Appointments? Nov 12th for my first scan

Cravings/Symptoms? Mostly fatigue, though after an awful day yesterday I feel a lot better today...which is of course making me nervous

How are you doing? Rants/Raves/Randoms? Mostly ok. Honestly trying to not think about it any more than I need to, otherwise I get anxious

Questions? None right now

Upcoming Appointments? 11/12 for another ultrasound and NIPT!

Cravings/Symptoms? I get random onset’s if wants. Chocolate covered cherries was yesterday’s weird craving. Like the Queen Anne ones at Christmas time. I checked, grocery store doesn’t have them yet lol.

How are you doing? Rants/Raves/Randoms?

It’s the day after an appointment, so doing good. Anxiety is low, feeling hopeful and planning mode is kicking in with the reality that this might really be a THB. I keep looking around the house at everything I want to get done in the next 28 weeks. (OB said yesterday that for my age 36-37 weeks is expected delivery especially because I was induced with DD at 37 weeks for indicators of preeclampsia. 28 weeks doesn’t sound that long!!

Questions? NATM

@ashaislurking I saw your wonderful update in the ultrasound thread!! Yay baby!!
@legallykate lol at the muffin! I keep telling myself it's too early for cravings but I'm starving. I hear ya on the election anxiety. I wonder when we'll know the results.
@akoros I also am always analyzing the severity of my symptoms and comparing. I hope you feel completely terrible tomorrow! ♥️
@ramzlau 28 weeks sounds totally doable!! I live that you checked the grocery store for the cherries. 11/12 doesn't seem that far for NIPT!!

Upcoming Appointments? Was supposed to be tomorrow for us.... Now? Bc coworkers covid status

Cravings/Symptoms? Hungry, tired, cranky. Less congested. Queasy today, and bloated.

How are you doing? Rants/Raves/Randoms? So my RE's office doesn't want me to come in until the situation with my coworker is more resolved. She was supposed to get the results back today but it got delayed till at least tomorrow. She's feeling much worse today so anticipating she has it. Found out her husband was symptomatic starting last week, they got together with family that tested positive this weekend, and she still came in Monday. I'm so frustrated bc of the timing with Halloween- was planning on taking my kids around the neighborhood in their costumes and now idk what I'm going to do. We already aren't doing Thanksgiving or Christmas with family, and this was our chance to do something kind of "normal". I only had brief, passing contact with her- masked and far away- and am so irritated that it happened this week. Next week I'd be ok, but it's causing me to miss an US appt and a fun day for my kids bc a chance 2 minutes. UGH.

Questions? Do I sound like a total brat? I feel bad my coworker is sick even though it didn't sound like it!

Upcoming Appointments? Not until 11/12, which is looking like a big day in here!

Cravings/Symptoms? So much nausea, and I’m tired. I’ve definitely been taking meetings from couch with my screen off this week... craving apple cider and salty foods.

How are you doing? Rants/Raves/Randoms?Excited to take DS to the zoo tomorrow, and probably make a trip up to the chocolate store. They make the best truffles. It’ll be interesting to see how extended mask wearing goes for me, my brief wears this week have been challenging with the nausea.

Questions? NATM

halfanewt · October 2020

@legallykate a blueberry muffin sounds so good! How long do you stay on meds? I’m only on progesterone, but it goes until 10 weeks.

@akoros hey 11/12 buddy! I’m impatiently waiting with you.

@ramzlau another 11/12! Have you had the chocolate covered chukar cherries? Those are the best!

@_orchid_ you don’t sound bratty at all. She made questionable choices (why did she come in to work if she knew she was exposed?) and you have to give up 2 things by being responsible. I’d be annoyed, too. That said, I hope you weren’t exposed and that she only has a mild case!

ashaislurking · October 2020

@legallykate Sending all the good vibes for your blood work next week! Keep us posted!
@akoros Hopefully your 11/12 appointment helps to ease some of your anxieties. Until then is there anything we can do to help?
@ramzlau I'm so glad your anxiety is low after your appointment! Hopefully your next appointment goes just as smoothly!
@_orchid_ I'm sorry your RE's office is making you wait it out because of your coworker's COVID status. I totally get that they're being cautious but that must be so frustrating for you!
@halfanewt 11/12 is DEFINITELY looking like a big day for our TTGP grads (and it happens to be a grad check-in day)! I hope you have an amazing trip to the zoo today!

How far along are you? 5+6
Upcoming Appointments? 12/3 as long as things stay boring.
Cravings/Symptoms? My HG is questionably managed at best by my current meds. It seems like as long as I'm right on schedule taking them I'm mostly okay, but keeping to a regular schedule with them is difficult when my sleep schedule is also abnormal. Hopefully things stabilize.
How are you doing? Rants/Raves/Randoms? Rant: I'm having a rough morning and I'll leave it at that. Rave: Yesterday was great and my ultrasound went well which eased some of my anxieties.
Questions? NATM

_orchid_ · October 2020

@halfanewt hope you guys had fun at the zoo!! Also truffles sound AMAZING right now.

@ashaislurking so glad your appointment went well yesterday!! Hoping your MS continues to be manageable.

Found out my coworker's test is positive. Talked to the health department and because my contact with her was so brief and we were far apart and masked they're not requiring me to quarantine or be tested. I feel so relieved!

akoros · October 2020

@_orchid_ Not feeling terrible, but definitely exhausted after just putting some polyurethane on a piece of furniture, which isn't normal! Sorry your appointment had to be postponed, but glad you don't have to quarantine!

@ashaislurking That's so sweet, thank you for asking that. I've got a long road until I'll feel comfortable, so just need to work on taking it in stride. Venting on here definitely helps!

DoubleUp8 · October 2020

@legallykate a blueberry muffin sounds so good! Now I want one! How you can get your u/s scheduled.

@akoros yay for your first scan! I have had days where I feel better and start to work, and then the next day the symptoms are back with a vengeance. Hope you can relax and enjoy your small reprieve. I bet symptoms will be back soon!

@ramzlau yes, weird cravings. DH got turkey for his lunches this week and it made me want a turkey sandwich so badly it was bizarre. I hope you get your chocolate covered cherries soon!

@_orchid_ glad you don't have to quarantine. I would be annoyed to that your coworker came in, especially if her husband was showing symptoms.

@halfanewt hope you had fun at the zoo!

@ashaislurking glad your u/s went well! I hope you start feeling better soon!

How far along are you? 9w 4d

Upcoming Appointments? 11/16

Cravings/Symptoms? Nausea. Thank goodness for b6 and unisom or I never works have made it through virtual Alumni weekend at work.

How are you doing? Rants/Raves/Randoms? Excited for Halloween. Carving pumpkins with DS this afternoon.
