KFrob · October 2021

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 6/17, 5w6d

FTM/STM/TTM+: 4th bio kid!

Upcoming Appointments or Results: Not until Nov 8! It feels sooo far away, its killing me

How are you feeling?: Completely exhausted, boobs are getting a bit sore, grumpy, RLP, stuffy, light headed, some nausea but not as much as I would like. I feel like I'll go from not wanting to eat anything to completely starving. Anxious.

Rants/Raves: I'm not feeling great. I definitely have symptoms but I'm not feeling crappy enough to ease my anxiety. I'm driving myself crazy. And probably driving DH crazy too.

Questions:

@daisy0322 When DD3 was born we had two rear facing car seats, a 5 point harness booster, and a regular booster seat for SD. We went harness booster and regular booster in the 3rd row since the bigger kids can do their own buckles with a little bit of help and the car seats were one passenger side, one driver side with the seat in the middle of them folded down so the big kids could pass through. I'm not sure how were going to change the set up with this one now since we'll have three that need an adult to do the buckles.

edit for clarification

Tulips29 · October 2021

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 6/22, 5w1d

FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM

Upcoming Appointments or Results: First ultrasound tomorrow, feeling extremely nervous about it

How are you feeling?: Tired. Feel a bit queasy here and there, lightheaded from time to time and definitely ragey/annoyed at the smallest things.

Rants/Raves: Rave/Rant all in 1 - so grateful to be pregnant after another IVF cycle (rave) but hate the anxiety it causes between each appointment. I just want to enjoy being pregnant but prior pregnancy issues are making it hard (rant)

Questions: none at this time

@daisy0322 Happy anniversary! As for 3 seats in an SUV, I've seen people put the oldest kid in the very back and the other 2 in the 2nd row. I think we may need to upgrade to 3 row SUV as well. We currently have a 2 row and got our kids slimmer car seats with the hope that an infant car seat can fit in the middle. It'll be tight but I'm hoping we can make it work until our lease expires.

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 5 weeks 5 days.

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Upcoming Appointments or Results: still working on getting my referral in to the OB. Never thought it would be this difficult.

How are you feeling?: like absolute crap. I am constantly puking.

Rants/Raves: we bought my new mom car yesterday!

Questions: What are you guys calling the babies? We call ours Kevin. My first was Steve until he had his name😂

daisy0322 · October 2021

@marionberry19 i just call it the baby but my husband wants a daughter and so he asks me how his little girl is doing all the time 😂

@Tulips29 @KFrob i was thinking if putting my oldest in the back. He’ll be 4 then but maybe he wouldn’t need a lot of help if we start now? I know my 1 year old will be 2 then and he will definitely want to go back with his brother though. I no think I may take out the seat behind the driver and put DS1 in the 3rd row behind the passenger, DS2 3rd row behind the driver then baby in the center of the 2nd row. That way I could still see all of them and have access to the 3rd row to help. I don’t really want DS 2 to be forward facing quite yet but we will see he may actually hit the weight and height limit by then he’s a giant.

Tulips29 · October 2021

@marionberry19 I'm not calling it anything yet, mainly because it hasn't fully sunk in yet that I'm pregnant lol. Did you adjust from the pre-birth name to the actual name once baby was born? Hopefully the new car is a nice distraction to all the crappy feeling and puking.

@daisy0322 By 4 my son was climbing into the car seat on his own so we just needed to adjust his buckles, if needed. He can buckle his chest clip but asks for help with the one between the legs. I think you should be fine with him in the back. Although you plan on moving seats sounds good as well and would provide good access to everyone.

marionberry19 · October 2021

@Tulips29 we started calling him by his real name once we knew the gender and had a real name to call him. It also made it easier to talk about with people around before we had announced as no one really assumed “Steve” was a baby.

Questions: Currently nothing! lol.

@daisy0322 -hope the little feels better soon!! happy anniversary!

@Tulips29 - DD buddy!

@marionberry19 - currently not really call the baby anything, we don't want to start saying something and having our daughter start saying it at daycare (my mom watches her) we have only told like 3 people total so far. But the last time I was pregnant we call the baby Groot!

bww_0331 · October 2021

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 6/13 6w3d

FTM/STM/TTM+:third

Upcoming Appointments or Results: nothing until 11/12

How are you feeling?: ugh. I’ve at least had good energy the last couple days but the bloating is unreal and a lot of nausea. A lot.

Rants/Raves: Rant: I hate being pregnant in general. Hate. it. We had two unplanned pregnancies that I struggled with and I was really looking forward to a positive, planned third. It was planned- but two days before my BFP my amazing boss announced he was leaving and I’m due in our absolute busiest time of year. So now all I have is dread for this time and I’m going to be in crisis mode until the end of summer. TW: I also feel guilty because a few days before my BFP my brother/SIL lost their 21 week identical twins. I really don’t want to announce a pregnancy anytime soon. Or ever. I feel awful.

Raves: I love baby name hunting! I love looking at list after list trying to find the perfect name. It’s my favorite part of pregnancy and what brings me joy.

Questions: none for now

romeoandjuliet146 · October 2021

@daisy0322 Happy Anniversary!

@Tulips29 Yay, your ultrasound is tomorrow!

@marionberry19 No name yet, just baby.

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: June 9th

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Upcoming Appointments or Results: In November

How are you feeling?: Food aversion/ cravings, nausea but not throwing up kind of just an all day sickness

Rants/Raves: Rant is the drivers who have to speed by us then pass in front of us super close. Rave is that Dune is on HBO Max today and I am looking forward to watching it.

KFrob · October 2021

@romeoandjuliet146 AH! Dune is out?!!! Thank you for that. Totes making DH watch that tonight. And I agree with the drivers. It seems some how the pandemic has made people drive even more like psychopaths than before.

@bww_0331 Sorry for the the negativity going on in your life. I also dread taking leave. I took two weeks vacation in the summer and came back to such a disaster I'm so scared to see how bad it is after three months.

Tulips29 · October 2021

@romeoandjuliet146 yes! had my ultrasound today and saw sac + fetal pole. It's becoming more and more real. Next appt is on 11/1 to check heartbeat so praying all goes well until then. How are you doing?

huckleberrypie · October 2021

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 5 weeks 4 days today!

FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM! And we're going to make our parents into first time grandparents on both sides 😊😊😊

Upcoming Appointments or Results: Nov 10, it's soooooo far.

How are you feeling?: Fine but really want it to be Nov 10 already. Or for morning sickness to kick in, I just want more concrete signs that it's happening. I have been obsessively taking one of those cheap strip pregnancy tests everyyy day and now the pregnant line gets dark even before the entire window gets wet and the control line appears, so that's a little reassuring 😅

Rants/Raves/Questions: None today!

@marionberry19
I'm trying not to think too much about names until I know the gender. I'll have lots of ideas on girls' names but I can't even fathom having a boy (it seems so foreign, I hope I'll be able to relate. I've always wanted a girl child and never planned to be pregnant more than once. I know I'll love a boy too though, just haven't wrapped my head around it!) and have never thought of boys' names. 😳

Tulips29 · October 2021

@huckleberrypie isn't it funny how we wish for morning sickness as proof it's really happening? I'm the same way, just want my body to give me some sign already. I'm sure both sets of parents will be overjoyed!

yooleeah · October 2021

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 6/22, 5w2d

FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

Upcoming Appointments or Results: first appt is 11/11, have had two blood tests trending in the right direction, and another one on Thursday.

How are you feeling?: nauseous, tired and achy. TW: I ended up in the ER last night due to a sharp pain in my lower abdomen. I first thought it was either a baby issue or my appendix burst. 12 hours later I left with no answers. After looking into it a little more and talking with friends, there’s a good chance it’s gas! Never thought it ever hurt that much. Definitely adding more fiber to my diet because that was horrible.

Rants/Raves: shout out to my cats for being cuddly more. Definitely helping with long days

Questions: nothing for now

@marionberry19 for some reason today I thought about referring to baby as kitten. Then thought about how others might be weirded out that I’d call babies kittens
