Re: Group 3 Check In w/o 9/19

  • FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

    EDD/Weeks+Days: 10W1D edd 4/16

    Baby is the size of: Strawberry

    Team blue/pink/green: Finding out!

    Upcoming Appointments: This Thursday! We are getting a second ultrasound as the first one showed two sacs but only one baby and one heartbeat. They said 99% chance the second never formed and it will absorb, but getting a second one this week to check on it and make sure the second one wasn’t behind possible. So a bit nervous for this haha! 

    How are you feeling?: So much better the past few days. Eating more food again but still avoiding a ton. Naps each afternoon but just about 30 minutes and I am good! 

    Rants/Raves: Told our close family (parents and siblings) and my MIL is already in crazy mode! I am excited she is so happy but I need her to breath. Already asking me how long till she can share and wanting to start planning a shower. It is a bit overwhelming for me as a FTM.

    Questions: None at the moment.

    GTKY: What is your favorite fall activity? I love decorating for fall at the house and getting everything nice and cozy! This is the start of the holiday season to me so always start to get excited for lots of family time over the next few months!

    Rants/Raves: went to Trader Joe's today and stocked up on some yummy seasonal items but couldn't find the dolmas (not seasonal but one of my staple items I get from there!). Found out they won't be back in stock until sometime NEXT YEAR and now this preggo lady is very disappointed
    Questions: NATM
    GTKY: What is your favorite fall activity? used to love going apple picking and to the pumpkin patch but it's lost some of it's luster now that we have our own apple trees and giant pumpkins. I love lighting some fall scented candles, cozying up with a fuzzy blanket and watching Halloween movies (not horror ones....more like Hocus Pocus 😆)
  • I wish you all the best group 3! I had a scan today and have had a silent miscarriage. There was no heartbeat and baby measured 10 days behind.  <3 to you guys.
