Re: Weekly Check-In w/o 5/15
Baby is the size of a(n): chocolate chip
Team: blue 💙
Upcoming Appointments: US this Friday to confirm heartbeat
How are you feeling?: I’ve been pretty tired the last few days. I’m not one for naps, but I’ve had to take one the last two days.
GTKY: Lima beans! Yuck! Our family tried them when I was about 6, and we all agreed it was a “never again” food
Rant/Rave: I planned the most badass summer of my career, and there's a high probability that I won't be able to participate in a majority of the activities. From white water rafting to rock climbing to horseback riding and more. Bummed out, but I will ask the doctor for their opinion.
EDD / Weeks + Days: 1-14, 5wk + 1
Fish. Literally anything that once lived in the water. If I never had to eat any fish ever again, I'd be a happy lady.
EDD / Weeks + Days: 1-21-23/4W1D
Baby is the size of a(n): waterbear or poppy seed
Team blue/pink/green:
Upcoming Appointments: first US/OB June 20
How are you feeling?: T I R E D!! This is my second, my first is almost 2, and I am exhausted most every day. Today I’m having a headache, but I also decided to stop my allergy med routine so I’m not sure if that’s contributing. Otherwise, fatigue is my biggest problem currently.
Rants/Raves: my biggest rave is that I am nervous to tell anyone until we get closer to the second trimester… and I want to shout it out with joy that we’re pregnant! So far it’s my husband, my best friend and my almost 2 yr old that know… we plan to tell our parents at our daughter’s birthday party in June which will be a few weeks before our first appointment. I just feel like I have a dirty little secret lol
Questions: any tips on the transition from 1-2 kids? My daughter is very much a mama’s girl, but I think she’s going to love being a big sister, just hope she doesn’t get upset in the early stages. At least she’s in daycare already, so that will remain the same.
GTKY: What is a food you’ve tried that you will never eat again? Not sure if this one is as a pregnant person or in general… but my husband loved to eat Pho and I’ll say that tripe is not my thing lol.
@LaurinAndJordan you can get other kinds of meat on your pho!
@LaurinAndJordan there's probably not a super graceful way to go from 1 to 2, but for me the transition was easier than from 0 to 1. Having already done it once made the second time more bearable. Now I'm going from 2 to 3 and I'm sure that will just be a dumpster fire lol
Team Blue/Pink/Green: I don’t know yet!
Upcoming Appointments: None yet. See Rant.
How are you feeling? Fine. Sore boobs and being tired is all but so am sure that will change.
Rant/Rave: My OB of 10 plus years that delivered my first two kiddos and has been w me through three losses, preterm labor, and everything in between left the practice. I literally have no doctor at the moment. I am terrified bc I am high risk. My first two I was monitored until 12 weeks by a Reproductive Endocrinologist I had been working w (I have Recurrent Pregnancy Loss among other things that place me at high risk). Literally I am searching for a new doctor and terrified I won’t be see as early as I should.. lots of anxiety!
Questions: Just looking for a great prenatal vitamin that supports MTHFR mutation.
GTKY: What is a food you’ve tried that you will never eat again? Ground hog.. I was tricked into trying it. So gross. Whoever eats that on a regular basis, I am so sorry.
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry!

How are you feeling?: I have been okay. Still full of anxiety and I have been so extremely tired and having a few headaches.
Rants/Raves: We had some nice weather this weekend so it was nice to get the kids outside for a while. Looking forward to visiting my family in a couple of weeks!
Questions: What do you all take/do for headaches? I know Tylenol is generally acceptable to take, but wanting to know if you have found anything else that works.
GTKY: What is a food you’ve tried that you will never eat again? Mushrooms. I hate them so much.
Also I did forget to add on mine that I am confused about if 35 is AMA or not. I feel like some doctors do consider it, but others don't. I am currently 35 and no one has mentioned anything to me about being AMA.

Questions: nope
GTKY: What is a food you’ve tried that you will never eat again?
Oysters. Not a fan.
@ReadyForaB as you know, I'll be close to you in terms of an age gap! My daughter will be a bit over 5.5 in January. I always thought I'd have kids closer in age, but [insert all the reasons here]. I'm terrified of starting over, but also kind of excited about her getting to be an older big sister--and happy that we got so much time with just her.
And in response to multiple comments above re: AMA, I was considered AMA for my late 2021 pregnancy even though I was still 34, because I would be 35 by my due date. I just turned 35 so I'm *officially* old this time around
but other practices may have similar policies re: age at conception vs. age at delivery. That pregnancy unfortunately didn't go to term so I don't know the full ins and outs of what's different with AMA, but I think it's mostly just additional monitoring and testing options--so if it's covered by insurance, I don't think you can go wrong!
EDD / Weeks + Days: 1.15.23 / 5w1d
Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed!
Team blue/pink/green: Green
Upcoming Appointments: My OB office will call me to schedule an early scan (in week 6 or 7) as soon as they get pre-authorization from my insurance. (They don't typically do appointments here until 11 weeks, and even then it's just a heartbeat check...but I should be cleared for an early scan due to my MC history. Fingers crossed that they call this week!)
How are you feeling?: Completely normal except for on-and-off mildly sore boobs. I'm a little worried, but I keep reminding myself that my symptoms don't typically set in until week 6 or 7.
Rants/Raves: Same as last week--I HATE grading! But I'm almost to the finish line. Also, my daughter turns 5 this week and I'm so excited about her gifts! (bike, helmet, marble run, comic books)
Questions: NATM
GTKY: What is a food you’ve tried that you will never eat again? Italian sausage
or really anything that has that cursed, cylinder-like seed/spice in it (fennel?). That spice is a demon that has no place in my life 
EDD / Weeks + Days: 1-7-23/ 6 weeks 2 days
Baby is the size of a(n): baked bean 😍
Team blue/pink/green: green
Upcoming Appointments: Wednesday, June 1. Second scan, appointment, and blood work.
How are you feeling?: Pretty good. First trimester cramping isn't as bad constantly (but that also worries me 🙄). Also sore boobs and occasional nausea/ vomiting...
Rants/Raves: I was able to take my two sons on a cubscout campout this weekend. I was so happy to make memories, but then our tent flooded with the rain and soaked all of our bedding. 🤣 I've never been so thankful to get home to my own bed!
Questions: None at the moment...
GTKY: What is a food you’ve tried that you will never eat again? Bleu cheese/ Bleu cheese dressing... I wanted so badly to love it, I just can't! 🤮

Rants/Raves: so annoying how they make us wait til 8+ weeks for our first appt. My first two I was able to be seen pretty early and it made things a little less worrisome. Oh and this is the last week of my quarter (payroll accounting and computerized accounting classes) so yaayyy until I start my next quarter early june
I’m taking business law 😫
