EDD / Weeks + Days: May 5 / 8W3D
Baby is the size of a: penny
Team blue/pink/green: finding out
Upcoming Appointments: Thursday!
How are you feeling?: Nausea and fatigue have gotten more intense this week, but both are manageable. I'm excited and nervous for my first appointment because my provider will tell me if I'm eligible for a VBAC. My provider is the unofficial VBAC guru in my area and I specifically switched to him because of that. I had a CS with my first and a uterine surgery before that, and based on my pre-pregnancy appointment my provider sounded optimistic, but he would still read my surgery report and let me know for sure at our first appointment.
Rants/Raves: Just found out I won't be getting an ultrasound at the first appointment...boo. Fortunately there is an outside private clinic very close to me.
Questions: nope
GTKY: What is the dumbest/silliest way you've ever injured yourself? I fractured my finger playing Wii Tennis because I swung the remote into my bedpost.

Team blue/pink/green: finding out
How are you feeling?: Pretty miserable. Nausea has kicked in full force. I also have near constant pain in/around my stomach, unsure if it's just a messed up GI tract, gas, cramps, or what else. Not super fun though.
Rants/Raves: Had my first appointment with the RE this morning (because of a history of MC). Baby is looking healthy and happy so far and measuring a couple days ahead! I'm not sure I'll ever totally relax, but I let out a small sigh of relief at the beautiful picture.
Questions: Anyone else with stomache issues have any recommendations? I'm taking B6 and unisom and a probiotic and going to start taking benefiber.
GTKY: What is the dumbest/silliest way you've ever injured yourself? I broke two toes running into a chair while chasing my cat.

Questions:

Questions: Anyone got any good books for toddlers to introduce the idea of getting a sibling?
GTKY: What is the dumbest/silliest way you've ever injured yourself? Was trying to get a piece of tape off a freezer shelf and stabbed my finger with a knife.

Upcoming Appointments: Progesterone check this week, and NIPT in 2 weeks at 11 wk appointment
How are you feeling?: I’ve been taking unisom/b6 so the nausea is much better most of the time and I’m sleeping better but my hips hurt all night. I’ve had way more gas and constipation this week, and my appetite is very hit and miss. Working through the worst anxiety now since we lost the last one around 8wks and I just want to know that there’s still a heartbeat now.
Rants/Raves: My normal level of patience is gone, and it feels like lately there have been some people that just want to see how far they can push me and I’m so done with all of it.
GTKY: What is the dumbest/silliest way you've ever injured yourself? Hard to pick a winner but let’s go with the time I tried to take a boulder as a jump to impress the boy I was skiing with when I was 14.

Rants/Raves: none right now
Questions: also none right now!

How are you feeling?: Exhausted and very sensitive to smell. Put a new bar of soap in our shower and I thought DH had sprayed some sort of febreeze in our whole bedroom, it was awful
Rants/Raves: Rant - I feel hungry all the time but nothing ever sounds good and nothing is ever filling enough. Rave - work has been crazy which makes the weeks go by faster so I can hurry up and spend time with my family during the weekends.
Questions: Has anyone ever done the Target car seat exchange with the discount? We have a pilot so theoretically DS1 can go in the 3rd row, but we've been looking at the Diono (sp?) car seats since they are slimmer. Does the exchange program happen twice a year? I just missed out on it this past week, but we wanted to do more research.
GTKY: What is the dumbest/silliest way you've ever injured yourself? In high school, I snapped my IT band and had a partial tear in my meniscus. It was caused by dancing (show choir) but the snap/tear themselves happened when I went from sitting to standing in choir. I had to be in a brace for a few months so for all our competitions, I had to hop out on stage for my solo then hop back into the wings.

Questions: I want to find out more about nutrition options besides breastfeeding. I had a bilateral mastectomy 3 years ago when I was 31 years old, so I won’t be able to nurse. Really not sure how to navigate best formulas, getting breast milk donated, or other options. I wish there was more info or groups out there for young breast cancer survivors who are navigating pregnancy.
GTKY: What is the dumbest/silliest way you've ever injured yourself?: I had to go to urgent care after some questionable knife maneuvers while trying to core an avocado.
