Re: Weekly check in for all 8.16
Upcoming Appointments? Aug 31st
TTGP Grad? Yes, from June 2019- May 2021
IF/RPL/High Risk? Secondary IF
How are you feeling? I’m starting to feel great! My nausea is mostly gone unless I get motion sickness and my aversions are much better! I’m finally getting some energy back.
Rants/Raves? My husband is finally back at work after being quarantined. His isolation was up about a week ago but they still made him wait. So back to normal life now! We are not sending ds to pre-k this year, so I’m going to start looking into doing some homeschool preschool, so that should be fun! And my friend and her son moved out this weekend so we finally have the nursery back! So I’m going to start breaking out my sons baby stuff and organizing a bit so I can see what I need! I’m excited about that. I went ahead and pulled out newborn-6 months yesterday and got rid of anything I didn’t want, or had poop stains on it. 😂 I must have been in a hurry when I packed it all up!
Questions? Natm
GTKY: Are you dreading the end of summer or stoked for autumn? I hate to see everything die, but I’m stoked for autumn! I have some projects that I want to get done in the cooler weather, and I just really love the season. And the smells!
How Far Along? 14+0 (first day of second tri!)
Upcoming Appointments? None til Sept 3, but at least I have my therapy appts to keep me company and sane until then 🤣
TTGP Grad? Briefly
IF/RPL/High Risk? High risk
How are you feeling? Physically was feeling fine, but have had heartburn the last couple days and MOTN insomnia. So that’s annoying because then I’m super exhausted throughout the day.
Rants/Raves? Annoyed with insomnia, as above lol. We are officially house hunting. We put a reservation on a new lot build. It’s further north than I wanted, but there was literally no downside to reserving the lot. They hold a check that they never cash and there’s no penalty to cancel 🤷🏻♀️ So, we’re looking at a couple more communities this weekend. If we don’t find anything else we like, then we’re moving forward with this one!
Questions? Natm
GTKY: Are you dreading the end of summer or stoked for autumn? I’ve △⃒⃘lways been a big big fan of summer, which is why we made the move from Michigan to Florida 7 years ago now. However, as much as I forever love the heat, Florida’s autumn & spring are more temperate (in the 80s) so I’m definitely looking forward to autumn here 💜
Upcoming Appointments? First appointment with the OB on the 31st.
TTGP Grad?
IF/RPL/High Risk?
How are you feeling? I was feeling way better but nausea came back a little today. Still a big improvement though.
Rants/Raves? Not *really* a rant but Samson's daycare is closed for vacation for two weeks. If anybody deserves a paid vacation right now it's daycare providers but even with my parents helping it's soooo hard to get work done with him home.
Questions? nope.
GTKY: Are you dreading the end of summer or stoked for autumn? I'm so sick of the heat. My allergies also get terrible in August. Very ready for Autumn
Upcoming Appointments? my 16w appt is scheduled for next Monday but I'm calling today to see if we can be moved up because I am impatient
TTGP Grad? yep, feb 2021-may 2021
IF/RPL/High Risk? no
How are you feeling? today just tired. I've noticed more movement and more insomnia (really just waking up from dreams more often in the night), as well as having to get up either earlier than I want and being up or once very early and going back to sleep, to pee.
Rants/Raves? I re-watched the movie "what to expect when you're expecting" and I just, could not handle it. 10 years old and it did not age well, IMO.
Rant and rave I guess? Also! MH keeps being all like "you are really showing" and I keep telling him "no, I just feel like chubby or bloated and like I have a muffin top" and he immediately goes "no, that's not what you look like" so there's that I guess? taking it with a grain of salt because I think he has seen like 2 pregnant people ever
Questions? natm
GTKY: Are you dreading the end of summer or stoked for autumn? bring on autumn! it is too damn hot and I want my cozy comfy sweaters
@angelz429 see, I left FL because of the lack of their autumn lol therapy appts keep us sane while waiting for other things
@kaf1788 I can barely manage myself working at home alone! you are working hard, and you got this
How big is baby? (I added this because I saw it on another bmb and thought it was cute) Avocado!
Upcoming Appointments? Check-up in two weeks.
TTGP Grad? No
IF/RPL/High Risk? No
Questions? Can round ligament pain be in your back?
GTKY: Are you dreading the end of summer or stoked for autumn? I LOVE autumn. My favorite time of year. Summer is always my least favorite. So, I am stoked that it is getting closer to Autumn!
Upcoming Appointments? Wednesday!
TTGP Grad? Nope
IF/RPL/High Risk? RPL, AMA, thyroid
How are you feeling? I am so freaking tired. Where is the 2nd trimester energy?!
Rants/Raves? We had DS1's birthday party over the weekend. It was good, but glad it's done.
Questions?
GTKY: Are you dreading the end of summer or stoked for autumn? I'm not sure where everyone lives, but autumn here is pretty for about a day. Leaves change, then they fall off, and it snows. Sometimes it snows before the leaves all fall off the trees. It usually rains for most of it, it gets really cold, and then it snows. We've had snow start at the end of October. As you can tell, I'm not a huge fan of cold/snow lol. So even though it's been unseasonably warm (and dry - we need rain!), I'm not ready for summer to end. As a side note, I'm also hoping/praying we aren't having a blizzard when it's time for baby to arrive.
@angelz429: ohh, good luck with the house hunting. That can be fun but also difficult.
@kaf1788: +1 for allergies. I'm excited for autumn for that reason too!
@chgilmore: I know, the measurements sound so skewed sometimes. I remember one saying baby was an orange and now a couple of weeks later is an avocado. To me, oranges are bigger!
@makingbacon : Hoping for a few more days of fall for you!
back could be kidney depending on where it is or just back pain lol. Sorry you’re having back pain.
Upcoming Appointments? Had a regular appt today - nothing crazy. Need to book my next appt in a month.
TTGP Grad? no
IF/RPL/High Risk? IF
How are you feeling? Good - really feeling pretty much normal right now
Rants/Raves? I think with being so tired the last couple months I've gotten in to a being lazy habit. I used to want to get out and do stuff and now I'm happy to lay around at home lol. Once I get going I'm good but I'm not always thinking of things to do like I was before.
Questions?
GTKY: Are you dreading the end of summer or stoked for autumn? I'm all good with Autumn. Actually I like right now where the days are still 24-ish but the nights go below 20 so it nice to have the window open. But I defiantly have more clothes to wear in the autumn.

TTGP Grad? Yes 2014-2016
IF/RPL/High Risk? No
How are you feeling? Still having random nausea and headaches and hoping for some second trimester relief. I scored as moderately depressed on questionnaire but some of it is physical pregnancy stuff. I’ve been meditating and starting to sleep a little better.
Rants/Raves? They told me because I’m older (39 gasp) I’m going to have to take baby aspirin to avoid preclampsia. Now I need to research that … any other geriatric ladies up in here 🤣
I’ve never been more READY FOR FALL

@glitterfingers another one for baby aspirin, started at 12 weeks due to blood disorder, Im not considered geriatric since I dont turn 25 until March lol, right before the cut off
I feel like my body is old and doesnt want to handle pregnancy, if Im up on my feet and moving boxes around and cleaning for more than 2 hours I hurt bad, and I get these terrible shooting pains in my pelvic/ tailbone area (not Round Ligament Pain) so I start hobbling around like an old lady. It sucks
Upcoming Appointments? Sep 1st is my 15w
How are you feeling? getting more round ligament pain between yesterday and today, may have overdone it yesterday with the yardwork - it's a week of vacation for me and my oldest turns 5 Monday so we're having her party on Saturday. Going to be a long week of house prep.
Rants/Raves? DH is finally finishing the downstairs trim and all my decorations (rug/curtains/etc) are going to be put in place by Friday. I'm SO excited to have both our living spaces operational again.
Questions? natm
GTKY: Are you dreading the end of summer or stoked for autumn? I am stoked for autumn, I love the cooler sweater weather and everything that comes with it. Going to the corn maze, picking pumpkins, my favorite wine comes out (stocking up for early next year lol), plus Halloween is my favorite holiday. I used to look forward to spring over everything but now I enjoy how everything feels like it slows down with the cooler temperatures.

Upcoming Appointments?
8/30 - First OB appt (finally!)
TTGP Grad?
Kinda-sorta
IF/RPL/High Risk?
AMA
How are you feeling?
Pretty good! My mom thinks that because this pregnancy has been easier on me then that means it's a boy (first was a girl), but I think I've just been too busy to focus on my pregnancy complaints this time around lol. I also noticed that I'm not enjoying food very much and get full quickly. I didn't experience that until late in my pregnancy last time.
Rants/Raves?
Rant - Still waiting on my NIPT results (blood draw was on the 6th).
Rave - Work is good, home is good, life is good. I'm feeling very grateful.
Questions?
Nope
GTKY: Are you dreading the end of summer or stoked for autumn?
I am so looking forward to Fall. I wear spooky stuff year-round. I started painting & decorating a spooky birdhouse a few weeks ago, and today I wore a Haddonfield High School tshirt (from Halloween), just to name a few things. Granted, it's still almost 90 degrees out right now, but I don't care. I'm also thinking I might pull the Halloween decorations out of the attic before I'm too big to climb the ladder.
Due with baby #2: Feb 2022
Upcoming Appointments? September 8th for 16 week appointment and US to measure cervical length
TTGP Grad? No
IF/RPL/High Risk? No
How are you feeling? Honestly, not pregnant. The only real symptom for me is some mild food aversions.
Rants/Raves? Rave: My husband graduates from his academy on Friday and I'm so ready for him to be home! He has only been home on the weekends since May and yeah, I miss him, but I have so much stuff for him to do! 😂
Questions? Nope
GTKY: Are you dreading the end of summer or stoked for autumn? Ooh.. I am a summer forever kind of person but I am sooooo ready to send kids to school next week.
@kaf1788 hope wfh isn’t too bad the next two weeks! That’s hard. I didn’t even think about august allergies! I’ve definitely had some mild allergies too lately.
@chgilmore ikr! The sizes are so different! I swear for 3 weeks different apps were telling me that he’s the size of a peach! Yh reminds me of when I asked my husband if I looked pregnant or like a dumpling last week and he said, you look great! And I said that didn’t answer my question, so he giggled and said both. 😂 this is just that stage!
@lexilougolden baby must be one of those big avocados! I’m so glad your wedding was everything you hoped for! Congrats!
@makingbacon if you’re baby is the size of a house mouse! I want nothing to do with a place so such large mice!! 😬 beets are so much bigger than mice! At least where I’m from! Sorry about all of the snow.
I don’t blame you if that’s the case! we don’t get a ton of snow. It just looks wet and dead al winter.
@jwatt5 I hear you on the lazy habits! Same! I felt like i was sick and miserable all summer!
@glitterfingers I’m sorry about your depression evaluation. I hope you’re able to maintain well and it doesn’t go into ppd. Thinking about you. And I’m not taking aspirin now. But I did basically the whole ttc time (secondary IF) and it helped I guess. Apparently it’s good for inflammation and all kinds of stuff.
@angelob88 I notice that some days my rounds ligament pain is much worse than others, without any cause. But maybe you were just dehydrated?
@babyodo I’m ready to decorate for fall too! We just bought our house last year around this time so I didn’t get to decorate for fall. So I’ve already told my husband to get prepared. 😂
@modoodles I hope your appt goes well! And yay for your husband! I bet you are ready!
Upcoming Appointments? Phone appt before being able to schedule the anatomy scan this Friday. Normal check in with my local doctor first week of September. (We live 2.5 hrs from where I deliver/my OB, so I don’t see the OB as often or early as my family doc here.)
How are you feeling? Now that I’m getting over my cold, so much better! Have had a fairly persistent headache for over a week, so that’s annoying.
Rants/Raves? I told my principal about baby yesterday and she was so excited! I proposed taking second semester off because of baby’s timing and she’s totally supportive—yay! Now I just need to submit my request for board approval.
Questions? Natm
GTKY: Are you dreading the end of summer or stoked for autumn? I hate the heat, lol. I get migraines and sick, even when I’m not pregnant. We live so far north and on a lake that normally we have frigid, long winters, which I happily exhange for a mild summer (usually high of low seventies, and about one week of eighties). But we’re in a pretty bad drought here and it’s been SO hot—many days in the eighties all summer, often high seventies, and a few in the 90s. Miserable because we don’t have AC. So bring on the fall! 😂
Upcoming Appointments? Sono tomorrow
TTGP Grad? I don’t know what this means 😬
IF/RPL/High Risk? High risk
How are you feeling? Still nauseous and exhausted… it went away last week and came back again. Lots of round ligament pain if I stand or move too quickly.
Questions? Is anyone else here having twins?
GTKY: Are you dreading the end of summer or stoked for autumn? I feel like we started summer in April and now I’m over it. Will be our first fall here since relocating but I’ve heard it doesn’t start until late October.
Upcoming Appointments? Today had 16 week, including glucose test but don't have the results, other than that was uneventul. Next is 20 week at MFM
TTGP Grad?
IF/RPL/High Risk? IF - male factor, high risk - ivf, ama, thyroid
How are you feeling? All prior symptoms gone but I get headaches every. single. day.
Rants/Raves? Not really
Questions? No
GTKY: Are you dreading the end of summer or stoked for autumn? While we don't really have seasons here in Florida, I am soooooo ready for milder weather especially less humidity.
@chgilmore first, I just watched that movie too ha. Second, my mom and MIL have talked also about me showing and I had the exact same response, for me it's true, it's just fat/bloat lol
@ninrms That is so interesting, it's hard to think that being able to deliver a baby at a hospital would be standard, even though I know it happens. I also know that not all hosptials have NICU's either so that is an added concern.
@livingoffpbjs I feel you on trying to avoid meds, normally I'd just take a bunch of tylenol or an edible but obvious those are off the table. reading this I'm now trying an ice pack; also a warm/hot shower seems to help mine at least temporarily!
