Rants/Raves: so sick.... I’m miserable im grateful my mil is coming but we aren’t really best friends so it’s going to be a lot of “togetherness”.

GTKY - I love pink and if it’s sparkly that’s better. I like most colors but I hate white and yellow together

Upcoming Appointments or Results: TVUS & Labs 11/11, 11/15 phone intake, 12/2 OBGYN

Questions: None

GTKY - do you have a favorite color? A least favorite? Teal, love, love teal. I don't really have a least favorite color.

@daisy0322, oh no! I hope you starting feeling better

pinkkillersheep · October 2021

@daisy0322 I appreciate you also liking structured dailies! Sorry this week has been so rough for you. Glad you have some help coming soon.

(edit for spacing)

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: June 26 / 5w2d

FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

Upcoming Appointments or Results: Nov 4

How are you feeling?: Today is better than yesterday. Spacing out snacks to try to ease the nausea. I seem to have lost my appetite though.

Rants/Raves: I miss coffee 😭 I can’t get myself to drink any caffeine though. As soon as I start my body and mind are just like “You do not want this” and I barely drink a fraction of it.

Questions: Anybody have thoughts on herbal tea? I want a non-caffeinated hot beverage in the mornings but the little googling I’ve done seems to suggest no herbal tea in the first trimester.

GTKY - do you have a favorite color? A least favorite? Red! Been my favorite color for as long as I can remember. Least favorite is pretty much earthy tones like brown.

Rants/Raves: I am dancing on tables over the moon. My best friend just found out she’s pregnant.

GTKY - do you have a favorite color? A least favorite? Black is my favorite color, for the party poopers who say black isn’t a color then it’s pink.

huckleberrypie · October 2021

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 6w1d

FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

Upcoming Appointments or Results: I have an ultrasound Thursday! Wasn't supposed to until Nov 10 but I called my doctor's office yesterday saying how anxious I was and they got me scheduled in 😊

How are you feeling?: Mentally better now, stopped freaking out so much because my tests were getting lighter. I read about the hook effect where you can have more HCG than the tests can handle and they start getting lighter. Actually did one test with my normal pee today and one diluted with water, and the diluted one was darker so boom yay. Physically, still no morning sickness but started having a killer persistent headache yesterday. And soo tired.

Rants/Raves: Actually do have a rant. I feel like I'm so distracted and tired at work lately. I work in a high expectations job (software engineer at Amazon) and luckily I get to work from home so it's less noticeable, but I really feel a need to produce a lot of work and I feel bad that I'm working more slowly than usual. It's not even a real quantifiable amount that we're expected to produce but we're all type A personalities here because that's what Amazon hires, so we have expectations of ourselves and compare our productivity to our teammates, etc. 🧐

Questions: None.

GTKY - do you have a favorite color? A least favorite? I love pink, yellow, and blue (but the really bright slightly darker than sky blue color you see on a lot of cars).

huckleberrypie · October 2021

@pinkkillersheep I've been drinking Stash herbal chai tea. It's made of roobios which I read is ok.

KFrob · October 2021

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 6/17, 6w4d

FTM/STM/TTM+: 4th and that still shocks me every time I write out

Upcoming Appointments or Results: Nov 8 and it still seems so far away

How are you feeling?: Blah. Exhausted. Nausea. No appetite, sore boobs, stuffy, already had a yeast infection, crazy sense of smell, moody

Rants/Raves: Every pregnancy the thought of anything heavy makes me want to barf and I always crave really fresh tacos. Like the kind with diced chicken in chili’s in adobo, slaw, lime crema. I don’t even need to ask DH he knows the drill by now and is making them for dinner

Questions:

GTKY - do you have a favorite color? A least favorite? Like @marionberry19 it’s black and runner up is pink. Least favorite is purple.

@daisy0322 sorry you’re feeling so awful but yay for help!

@pinkkillersheep what about just decaf tea? Like like decaf chai.

@huckleberrypie I hate your screen name bc I constantly want pie lol. Also, I feel you with work. I’m basically a waste of life and I think I need to tell my boss soon so he knows what’s up with me.

daisy0322 · October 2021

@KFrob how old are your other kiddos? I just keep telling mine mama sick and they’ve been with my husband but I feel so bad. I’m throwing up and I know they’re worried about me.

@huckleberrypie try to relax mama! Maybe plan something this weekend like a massage and dinner with friends. I can tell your feeling very overwhelmed 💕 it’ll all be okay.

@marionberry19 oh how fun! My best friend just had her baby about 2 weeks ago.

@pinkkillersheep yes, I liked the set up over in TTC, I’m not usually type A but I dont have a ton of time to be bumping so I like to know what to expect and have some order.

marionberry19 · October 2021

@daisy0322 She got pregnant with her first son right after I had mine. So due to where ours kids birthdays fall they will end up in kindergarten together just like me and her were. Now these babies will as well. Tough luck to her middle kid though. I wasn’t ready for another baby then😂

Tulips29 · October 2021

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 5w5d, updated due date of 6/23

FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM

Upcoming Appointments or Results: had my first ultrasound on Friday, saw sac/fetal pole. Next appt is 11/1 to check heartbeat and I'm anxious AF!

How are you feeling?: Anxious, no real physical symptoms are driving me crazy. I'll take the nausea to convince me this is real. My boobs feel sore from time to time.

Rants/Raves: Rant - the lack of physical symptoms is making me insane. I keep imagining the worst. Ugh! Rave - we told our parents over the weekend and it felt so nice to feel happy and share in their excitement. Now really hoping for good news next Monday.

Questions:

GTKY - do you have a favorite color? A least favorite? Favorite used to be purple for a long time, now it's red. Least favorite is brown.

@daisy0322 so sorry you're feeling so sick. Hopefully mil can help with a few things while you relax.

@marionberry19 that must be so exciting to be pregnant together with your best friend!

@huckleberrypie I feel the same about my job. Some days I can barely focus on anything and feel like someone will notice since I have so much work. So thankful to work from home as well!

@pinkkillersheep I think it depends on which herbal tea. I've been drinking some here and there so hopefully it's ok. I've read hibiscus is a no no, but I don't know about the rest.

@KFrob now I want tacos for dinner!

romeoandjuliet146 · October 2021

@Tulips29 I feel the same way about lack of symptoms. Everyone seems to be throwing up except me.

@daisy0322 Hope you feel better soon!

@huckleberrypie That sounds like an interesting job. Amazon sounds like a great place to work. How did you choose your username? Is it your favorite pie?

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: June 9th

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Upcoming Appointments or Results: Next month

How are you feeling?: Just exhausted all the time.

Rants/Raves: I wish I had stronger morning sickness.

Questions:

GTKY - do you have a favorite color? A least favorite. I like blue and my least favorite is yellow.

marionberry19 · October 2021

@romeoandjuliet146 & @Tulips29 I totally understand what you’re saying about the lack of symptoms not being comforting. It didn’t feel real to me until the first time I got morning sickness. Which I know is ridiculous as I should be wishing the nausea away, but we have been conditioned to associate it with pregnancy.

pinkkillersheep · October 2021

Catching up on tags
@ajsanders-2 Doing anything fun with your week off?
@marionberry19 Sorry you’re not feeling great. But that’s so fun your best friend is pregnant with you!
@huckleberrypie Glad you’re feeling mentally better today. I hear you on feeling like you aren’t meeting your expectations for yourself at work. I have at least a couple hours a day spent between panic, extreme fatigue, and nausea. It’s very strange.
@KFrob On man those tacos sound fantastic
@Tulips29 I was enjoying some nice seasonal cranberry hibscus tea before learning hibiscus is a no

And I feel similar anxiety when my symptoms slow down.

huckleberrypie · October 2021

@romeoandjuliet146 it's my hubby's fav pie, and drink flavor, etc. I usually go with strawberry or blueberry anything, but all those names were taken 😅 And I have a great team at Amazon, most of the stresses I have are definitely self induced.

to everyone, it's comforting to hear so many people who can relate.

knottiecdf2be11dc9c3af3 · October 2021

GTKY - do you have a favorite color? A least favorite? Black and green is fav and pink is my least.

casper1118 · October 2021

@daisy0322 Are you sick with a cold or sick cause pregnant lol

casper1118 · October 2021

@ajsanders-2 Hahaha I legit thought today was Wednesday too and almost cried when I realized it's not. I'm so so so over this week, but it's just cause I'm exhausted 😩

casper1118 · October 2021

@pinkkillersheep wait, really about the herbal tea thing? I didn't know that!

casper1118 · October 2021

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: June 21 6wks

FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM

Upcoming Appointments or Results: Nov 16 for first prenatal appt. Wanted one sooner, but couldn't work it into my schedule.

How are you feeling?: EXHAUSTED. That is all

Rants/Raves: I'm so sick of being tired.

Questions: anyone else wonder if their exhaustion levels are due to an underlying condition? Like, I was tired with my first and second, but this feels like overkill lol

GTKY - do you have a favorite color? A least favorite?
Favorite color is emerald, or blue. I really dislike anything beige, or brown.

daisy0322 · October 2021

@casper1118 I have morning sickness - my husband took off 1/2 the week and my mother in law is helping the other half. If it was a cold I could power through. I can barely get my feet on the ground without vomiting though

pinkkillersheep · October 2021

@casper1118 The information is minimal at best, like everything with pregnancy. But I think it came down to ginger, lemon, and peppermint are generally considered safe. Everything else fell in the “possibly safe/unsafe” to “unsafe” category. But at the same time many of those ingredients are things I cook with so what the heck does that mean then? Meh, I’m just switching to hot apple cider and decaf tea and coffee.

ajsanders-2 · October 2021

@pinkkillersheep - my family (mom, step-dad, sisters, and bother) are all going to be together for the first time in years! I am very excited. Other than that house work until my sisters and brother come into town. Probably just relax because work as been freaking stressful!

KFrob · October 2021

@daisy0322 they’re 5, 3, and 1.5

@pregnancyafterloss the fridge smell is the worst! I’m also the same with water. I’m really struggling to drink enough. I can do ginger ale and lemon aid but I’m worried about all the sugar.
