Upcoming appointments: first prenatal appointment on Jan 4 and NT scan on the 7th (also getting bloodwork done tomorrow for that yuck)
How are you feeling?: meh - better throughout the day but just done by about 7:30. Starting to enjoy coffee again which is promising because I missed it so!!! Also very blocked up and so that is uncomfortable...
Rants/Raves: 🤷🏻♀️ Taking Xmas decorations down today - ready to have the house back.
Questions: natm
GTKY: How will you be ringing in the new year? Ordering take-out, maybe watching a true crime documentary... LOL asleep before 9 most likely
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: can fit on a tea light candle
Upcoming appointments: NT scan on January 13
How are you feeling?: meh ok. Some days are better than others. They had me start on Pepcid twice a day because my heartburn and indigestion was out of control (it was with my other pregnancies too). Also currently on ABX for a mild UTI. The joys of pregnancy.
Rants/Raves: My nausea has subsided ever so slightly since Christmas, so that has been a plus. I’ve been staring at piles of Christmas presents since Christmas, and I don’t know what to do with them. Zero motivation to put them away!
Questions: anyone’s boobs suddenly hurt a ton more lately? I can’t tell if it’s my bra or what, but holy ouch. They are so sensitive!
GTKY: How will you be ringing in the new year? DH works until close. When he gets home probably have dinner, watch some TV, then go to bed early.
How are you feeling? Starting to feel a little better
Rants/Raves: I have lost 12lbs as of today. I had about 30 to lose before I got pregnant, so it's nice to have lost a little before the weight gain starts.
Questions: Not at the moment
GTKY: How will you be ringing in the new year? On my couch. Doing absolutely nothing!
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: it weighs as much as a piece of bread
Upcoming appointments: had my monthly visit today, so nothing until the end of January
How are you feeling?: pretty good. I'm feeling the 2nd tri energy on it's way thankfully.
Rants/Raves: rave - got my NIPS results in today and all is normal!! Also, the added temptation of clicking a button and knowing the sex has me quite anxious... lol. NT scan also looked perfect as did all other bloodwork so I am very relieved and very thankful.
Questions: STM+ when do you remember feeling movement/flutters for the first time? I know I'm only a couple weeks away from it but I just can't wait to feel this little one moving around!
@tiggywiggles umm yes. I've had multiple family members comment on how much "I'm showing already" and to be honest I feel like I look 6 months pregnant already, yikes. I know most of it is bloat/pudge and the fact that I'm wearing form fitting maternity clothes doesn't help either.
GTKY: How will you be ringing in the new year? probably eating Chinese and playing games with DH and DS. Low Key and that's fine with me!
Upcoming appointments: Jan 5 for u/s and midwife Appt
How are you feeling?: still not great. Nausea isn’t 24/7 but still not great. Food aversions prevail.
Rants/Raves: I want to spend the time while I clean tidying the house but I have no energy or motivation. I did part of the upstairs which was good but I need to do the downstairs and the office. NIPT results were all clear!
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Strawberry
Upcoming appointments: 1/8 at a preterm birth prevention center
How are you feeling?: Pregnancy wise I feel fine. Still doing the throwing up 4-5 times a week but feeling better after so I really cannot complain. I was pretty crampy yesterday and think I overdid it with the painting so tried to take it easier today. I’m anxious but trying not to be bc there is nothing I can do
Rants/Raves: N/A
Questions: None
GTKY: How will you be ringing in the new year?
Our library is hosting a virtual Noon Years Eve for the kids, and I bought some fake bubbly and decor/hats/blowers to make it fun. Other than that I will probably be asleep before midnight 😂
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: size of a lime
Upcoming appointments: with family doctor on Jan 4 and NT US on Jan 7
How are you feeling?: pretty good. I feel my energy coming back ever so slightly but the insomnia is gross.
Rants/Raves: I can’t think of anything...
Questions: natm
@tiggywiggles I pulled out maternity clothes last week because waistbands became too uncomfortable/I’m not going anywhere anyway and since then my MIL has pointed out my belly a handful of times. 😑 but it’s still just bloat really, it disappears over night.
@karacc18 I felt movement at 16 weeks last time and I’m really eager to feel it again! FX for a well positioned placenta lol
GTKY: How will you be ringing in the new year? Doing nothing. H is on night shift so it would be a small miracle if I made it up past 9.
Hi all! First time checking in over here. looking forward to getting to know everyone.
Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: July 14th, 11w 6d
FTM/STM/STM+:STM
Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Green (sort of. I think my husband is finding out)
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: brussels sprout apparently. which is much smaller than the limes and lemons mentioned above haha. whatever.
Upcoming appointments: Jan 6th. First official OB spt, and its not actually with my OB (long story), but hopefully the rest are with my OB. Especially since I am on a reduced schedule at work via short term disability (dang HG)
How are you feeling?: awful. I had HG in my first pregnancy and have it again. Although thanks to reglan I am able to have more "decent" days than I remember having at this point in my last pregnancy. So I will take that as a win. Only a week or so until my OB lets me into the promise land of zofran.
Rants/Raves: nothing really. just tired of feeling nauseated a pukey 24/7
Questions: NATM
GTKY: How will you be ringing in the new year? by going to bed as early as possible! lol. Will have korean new years soup on new years day though. One of the few foods I can tolerate right now with HG (called tteokguk, simple beef soup basically, with plain rice cakes and dumplings). My husband is Korean and I look forward to this soup every year.
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a strawberry
Upcoming appointments: general appt Monday
How are you feeling?: Extremely exhausted but pretty good other than that

GTKY: How will you be ringing in the new year? Have a couple people over right now but I work tomorrow so will probably be heading to bed soon!
