  • Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 6w6d (Jan 7)

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Sweet Pea. 

    FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

    Upcoming appointments: STILL waiting for my first appointment on June 8 which is 2.5 weeks away. The wait is seriously killing me and time is going by So.Slowly. I'm trying to be optimistic in telling myself that we'll be able to see more this way. 

    How are you feeling?: Meh. Tired all the time still. And still getting waves of nausea. Things I don't have to chew (soups, smoothies) are the best foods right now. Also my lower left back and left hip are killing me today. 

    Rants/Raves: Rant - I thought that me being labeled "old" coupled with a history of preterm labor would at least give me the advantage of more appointments early on. I was wrong.  Rave - My husband has been a saint. Seriously I feel so guilty about leaving him picking up all my slack. Making dinner, cleaning, taking care of me, playing with DS while I nap, and he hasn't even gotten any "bedroom time" as a thank you.

    Questions: None

    GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? I think it was the Red ranger (Jason) from the original Power Rangers. 🙈

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: blueberry... I'm guessing a normal blueberry, and not one of those behemoth ones we get from Safeway  

    FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM

    Upcoming appointments: Ultrasound with my RE 5/25

    How are you feeling?: Blah. Ok-ish in the morning, but then by night I'm miserable. I'm craving hamburger meat, so I made chili last night. I have so much to do and I'm just so unmotivated. 

    Rants/Raves: Thinking of punting on the Disneyland trip. We have until Tuesday to make the final decision, but the past couple days I've felt so bad, it's hard to imagine going on rides that spin at all. We'll see. 

    Questions: Nope

    GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush?  I think it was Jason Bateman when I was super young... I'm talking, like, 5. I remember looking at him in my mom's Star magazine. When I was a teenager? Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins  :D 

  • Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days:  1/7. 6w 6d

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a sweet pea... I think...

    FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM+ this makes 7 for DH and me

    Upcoming appointments: June 2nd. Dating scan

    How are you feeling?: nausea comes in waves. Tired. Irritable. 

    Rants/Raves: DH cousin is pregnant again with her 4th. She struggles with the 3 she has. We also struggle sometimes with the children we have. Alot of people have made not so nice commemts to the both of us. I have said it before and I'll say it again. As long as I'm not asking you to raise or support my children then what concern of yours is it how many children I chose to have? Notice the irritability I just mentioned. Yes my gears are grinding just thinking about this. 

    Questions: Anyone esle receiving negative feedback on your pregnancy? If so how are you approachimg that? 

    GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush?  Probably Patrick Dempsey or Patrick Swaysey (spelling) 

  • @AshleyGemini24 That really sucks, I'm so sorry you have to deal with that negativity. Who doesn't struggle with the children they already have? Anyone that says they don't is a liar. Is it tough with young ones and a newborn? Of course. But yeah, it's no one else's business, and even though it's tough for awhile, it's temporary. Or the challenges just are different, haha. 
  • @AshleyGemini24 Who cares what anyone thinks? One of my favorites sayings is: "What other people think of you is none of your business". As long as you're taking care of them. (Which it sounds like you are) then it's none of their concern. 
  • Wow, ok, so I guess you have to be due on the 5th or 7th to post here 😂😂😂 crazy how we all have the same 2 dates in this thread so far.

    Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 
    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Jan 5, 7+1

    FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

    Upcoming appointments: first OB appointment tomorrow. Even with the ER visit yesterday and seeing a heartbeat, and the ER doc seeming positive, I still have a lot of anxiety about my extremely low HCG and huge progesterone drop. I already made the mistake of googling and it's really bad and not a lot of positive stories, so I'm going to try to stay off the internet until tomorrow and my OB tell me if he's concerned. 

    How are you feeling?: Pregnancy symptom wise, completely normal, because I have none lol. But in general, very stressed/anxious about everything going on. Was so hoping for an easier early pregnancy and less emotional rollercoaster than with DD, but alas, not the case. Also very sick of being on pelvic rest/modified bed rest for the SCH because my butt/hips hurt from sitting/laying down too much. 

    Rants/Raves: rave for DH who is practically doing everything for me and DD because I'm supposed to be resting. He's doing half the daycare pick ups so I can avoid an hour of commuting, and he's WFH tomorrow to come with me to my OB appointment. 

    Questions: nope

    GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? I don't even remember lol. I wasn't super in to that stuff growing up, and my friends would make fun of me so much because I couldn't ever decide 😂🤷‍♀️ but anyone with dark hair and blue eyes, definitely a sucker for the blue eyes.

    FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

    Upcoming appointments: Wed. May 26. I am super anxious. 

    How are you feeling?: Not great today. I wake up feeling sick and have to psych myself up to eat anything but tend to feel better towards the afternoon. Not today. The nausea is just hanging out in my stomach and the thought of anything makes me green. Although I am sure I need protein and a Shake Shack burger actually doesn't sound too bad...I am also so bloated I look like I am in the 2nd trimester and my boobs are HUGE and sore. I need to purchase a bigger, more supportive bra.

    Rants/Raves: I will echo the ladies here and say my husband is awesome. Although he asked me how to make a grilled cheese today, which annoyed me. 

    Questions: NATM

    GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? Leonardo DiCaprio. I was 7 when "Titantic" came out and I was all in for Team Leo. I had posters, movies, books...I remember trying to do a 2nd grade book report on an unauthorized biography of Leo and my teacher not being amused.

    Rants/Raves: Just want the last day of school to hurry up and get here! My pre-k students are tired and over it and don’t get a **** and neither do i! 😆 2 more weeks 💪🏼

    Questions: am i the only person probably not being seen physically by a doctor till prob 10 weeks+?! so frustrating!

    GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? Mad Martigan from Willow or Atreus from Neverending Story. Can’t remember who was first.

  • @laurabridget I feel you on the last day of school.  They days are DRAGGING!! (doesn't help that my appointment also coincides with my last contract day).  My kids and I are beyond over it.  We've got 10 days left…we can do it!!

    I also will not physically see a doctor until I am almost 10 weeks.  I will be 9w4d by the time I get to my appointment. I agree that it's frustrating!

  • @lisa3379 hahaha the people that come up with these size comparisons are clearly not familiar with the jumbo blueberries 😂

    @AshleyGemini24 people just need to learn to mind their own business. Fortunately for them, nobody has said anything to me yet. But my husband has gotten a few comments since this will be our third..his mom even said “you know how that happens right?” Despite knowing we had a loss previous to this. If anyone says anything to me I’ve got at least three good responses brainstormed to make them feel helllllla awkward. And I’m genuinely a grouch at the moment and looking forward to having the opportunity to say the things. 

    @laurabridget third and final for us too! I don’t have an in person appointment scheduled yet but I’m already 7 weeks tomorrow and just now doing phone intake so we will see.

    Upcoming appointments: June 8th, first ultrasound!

    How are you feeling?: pretty tired in the mornings.. and hungry- already eating more. It's terrible I kinda wish I had some nausea so I wouldn't gain so much weight.

    Rants/Raves: a bit overwhelmed still, but I'm settling in a bit.

    Questions: when is it a good idea to put two kids in one room? Anyone have experience with that? Seems like there is a minimum age.. not like you want a 6 month old waking up a 2 year old in the middle of the night?

    GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? I have no idea

  • @Lisa3379 that gif is amazing

    @laurabridget bummer you have to wait til 10 weeks.. did they just not have an earlier available appointment?

  • @Limes030 I have always felt like nature provides positive energy and healing. But this urge to be outdoors is super strong! I keep thinking that baby wants to be in the sun because it will help it grow 😆🌿🌻
