Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: kiwi

Upcoming appointments: Thursday NT scan with the MFM. I’m also going to PT to get ahead of the hip pain I have been feeling off and on.

How are you feeling?: perfectly fine. No MS at all. I do get tired easily and I can’t ever get warm.

Rants/Raves: We have reached 12 hours of sunlight and I’m loving it. The sun makes it look so warm outside. I can’t wait for breakup and no more snow. I have so many plans for us this summer. I want to be at the lake daily and going on hikes with our hiking group. I may even hike some peaks if I feel up to it. I basically plan to be outside all day every day soaking up the sun and warmth before next winter.

Questions:

GTKY: What celebrity would you like to have lunch with? Rick from TWD.

How are you feeling?: Better than the last three weeks. Had a ton of MS, mostly at night, and was utterly exhausted. Also, really extreme constipation. My energy level is back up, and the MS doesn’t last as long.

Rants/Raves: Currently living in an apartment and neighbors are floor underneath us. They might as well live above us bc they are so so so so loud!

emeraldcity1214 · March 2021

Seems like most of us are beginning to feel much better.

sleepydaze · March 2021

@car1167 ugh, I totally understand! At our last place, a basement suite, the landlord replaced the carpet upstairs with thin (1/8 inch) underlay and laminate flooring... then he would have ping pong tournaments & parties directly above my bedroom and DD's bedroom well into the night without warning us ahead of time (DD was 1 at the time). The noise was so loud my ears physically hurt from their jumping & running. They all wore shoes inside and he would walk around at 1, 3, 5 AM. His kids jumped so hard upstairs that our pictures fell off our shelf.

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 12 weeks/ Sept 20

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: lime

Upcoming appointments: u/s on Wednesday to see if I have a shortened cervix since I did last pregnancy

How are you feeling?: way better! Nausea is almost gone!

Rants/Raves: Rave: We've almost told everyone we want to tell personally! It's kinda fun haha.

Questions: anyone else already getting pain/discomfort from weight gain? I've noticed my feet hurt now and sleeping is getting a bit uncomfortable.

GTKY: What celebrity would you like to have lunch with? Jack Black. I feel like that's a lunch I would never forget, haha!

CanadianGamerMom · March 2021

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 21/9, 12 weeks

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a swedish fish

Upcoming appointments: NT scan and bloodwork on Thursday

How are you feeling?: Overall not too bad these days. Still exhausted but I'm sure that has alot to do with my youngest waking up around 5-530 or earlier every day. My hip has been bugging a bit too.

Rants/Raves: I'm sure I'm starting to look pregnant but it's so hard for me to see it that way this time. I just feel chunky.

Questions: NATM

GTKY: What celebrity would you like to have lunch with? Tough question. Maybe Kevin Smith or Seth Rogen. I can't really think of anyone else at the moment lol

chewie5990 · March 2021

@CanadianGamerMom huge Kevin Smith fan over here!

Aerialmrs · March 2021

So glad to hear everyone is feeling better these days, bring on the second tri!

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: Sept 16/ 12w5d

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: ripe apricot

Upcoming appointments: Not until April 5 (and it'll be just a doppler/HB one, I think)

How are you feeling?: A lot better! I've completely stopped taking the B6 and unisom, and I'm only very rarely feeling a little bit of nausea. More often it's just an uncomfortable feeling if I let myself get too hungry, but not nausea. I have broken out in acne on my face and back A LOT so that's not been fun. I'm blaming it on a hormonal shift with the placenta taking over more hormone production. Hopefully it evens out soon.

Rants/Raves: 1. I got my first dose of the COVID vaccine! I'm so happy about it, but I was also knocked on my butt with exhaustion for the second half of the day yesterday, and my arm is very very sore. Way more sore than I expected, and because of that (and having to pee a lot) it was tough to sleep last night. I hope it will feel better by the time I sleep tonight, but even if it's not, it's still worth it! No fever at all.
2. I told most of my adult students last night about the pregnancy, so that was fun! I was surprised that they hadn't figured it out already, but I'm glad to not have to wear sweatshirts this week to work, especially now that it's warming up!
3. It's our spring break this week, but I still have to work regular hours. It's still nice to have a break from teaching and be able to catch up on some projects.
4. The weather is so nice this week, we're even supposed to have a sunny 80 degree day this weekend!
Lot's to be happy about this week!

Questions:

GTKY: What celebrity would you like to have lunch with? I had no idea until I came across @emjeve 's response. But probably Jenna Fischer! I love listening to her and Angela Kinsey's podcast "Office Ladies," and bet a lunch with either one of them would be super fun.

kissyfir1586 · March 2021

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 11+1 today

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

Upcoming appointments: 3/19 NIPT

How are you feeling?: My morning sickness is much better but not gone yet. I tend to feel my worst during the evening after dinner. I've been having so much trouble with bloat! I still feel like my food digests soooo slowly so if I overeat by the smallest amount, I feel miserable for hours.

Rants/Raves: feeling a little overwhelmed right now as we have so many upcoming decisions and changes to make before this baby comes. I'm job hunting and also house hunting, both just seem so daunting right now. I'm just tired, and scatter brained right now, so my pregnancy symptoms are adding another layer of difficulty. Anyway, just venting, I guess...

Questions: anyone else having bad headaches right now? I can't tell if mine are allergy related or pregnancy

GTKY: What celebrity would you like to have lunch with? I'd love to have lunch with the Rock. I mean, those arms....😍 and I love his movies too.

whatabout2ndbreakfast · March 2021

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 11+2 9/26

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Lime

Upcoming appointments: 3/15 and 3/16 although I’m hoping to get those appointments moved on the same day. It’s the 1st tri screening and then my 12 wk appt.

How are you feeling?: Better! Less nauseous, still tired, weird dreams.

Rants/Raves: So happy DS1 is done with his dental work. Rant- I literally quit my job a month ago and (stupidly) said that I’d stay to train the new person. Well they didn’t sign her up for this class to get access to charting until this Thursday 🙄. They are aholes, they were calling me yesterday when they knew DS1 was having dental surgery... like seriously?

Questions: NATM

GTKY: What celebrity would you like to have lunch with? Originally I was thinking nobody because I’d probably be too shy to talk to them anyway but stealing from @kissyfir1586 the Rock would be pretty cool!

emjeve · March 2021

@Aerialmrs Lady, I love the Office Ladies podcast too!

runningonindie · March 2021

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 9/20 - 12+1 today!

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: A plum!

Upcoming appointments: NT ultrasound on Thursday!

How are you feeling?: Anxious for my NT results but otherwise really good!

Rants/Raves: It was 62 degrees today and it felt AMAZING. However today we found out that the sellers accepted another offer so we didn’t get the house we were hoping for. Back to the drawing board in a crazy market and my needs are VERY specific. I refuse to settle. UGH.

Questions: None!

GTKY: What celebrity would you like to have lunch with? - I have so many but the first person who popped into my head was Betty White.

kissyfir1586 · March 2021

@runningonindie so sorry the offer fell through! I hope you find just the right place for you, and soon!

paulpaw · March 2021

How are you feeling?: better but still waiting on 2nd tri euphoria. I remember feeling so good!

Questions: none
