Re: Group 2 Check-In (EDD May 9-16): Week of 10/3
EDD / Weeks + Days: 5/13 8w2d
Baby is the size of an: olive
Team blue/pink/green: finding out
Upcoming Appointments: 10/14
How are you feeling?: still tired. I'm finding I get more nauseous at night/later in the day. I am waking up with awful back pain almost every morning, which is a fun addition to my other two pregnancies ha.
Rants/Raves: I have no motivation for work anymore. It just drags and drags. The Sunday scaries have taken on in full effect. Really looking forward to our time off for the holidays.
Questions: NATM
GTKY: What is the best gift you've ever received? My mom and her mom are huge gift givers, their love language is gift giving, so it's really overwhelming. I really love experience gifts because of this. But, DH got me a necklace with the boys' birthstones for Christmas last year and I love it. He also gets me my office calendar every year for my stocking it's a yoga puppies calendar and it is the best!
EDD / Weeks + Days: 9 weeks. But baby measured closer to 10
Baby is the size of a: 🫒
Team blue/pink/green: I don’t really care as long as it’s healthy. Would love one of both
Upcoming Appointments: just had my 9 week ultrasound
How are you feeling?: relieved. I had losses in the past so have been super nervous about this pregnancy so far. I was so scared when I went for the ultrasound but the baby is doing great with a strong heartbeat and even wiggled a bit for us!
Rants/Raves: I’m just so excited everything is going well for this pregnancy so far. Hubby doesn’t understand my crazy emotions and morning sickness as well as I would like- how can he get mad when I just start going to tears for no reason- I’m growing a tiny human in me!
Questions:
GTKY: What is the best gift you've ever received? The best gifts for me have been the ones I don’t ask for or expect, like when my husband goes a gets me a present just because.
FTM/STM/TTM+: 2nd
EDD / Weeks + Days: 5/9….9 weeks 1 day
Baby is the size of a: Cherry 😍
Team blue/pink/green: hoping for a girl but I’ll be happy either way
Upcoming Appointments: not for another 4 weeks
How are you feeling?: still soooo tired, cramping a bit (Dr said it’s normal when she examined me, no spotting)
Rants/Raves: I know every pregnancy is different but I definitely don’t remember being so sore. I honestly have bodyaches like when I’ve had COVID or flu, it’s irritating because it makes it hard to sleep. I also feel like since I’m plus size this time my belly is already starting to “hang” and not sit up which makes the pains worse. I didn’t wear a belly band until 29 weeks last time
Questions:
GTKY: What is the best gift you've ever received? Ever? Probably a sentimental gift from my grandparents or parents. Also, anytime my son makes something for me it’s the sweetest thing.
EDD / Weeks + Days: May 14/ 9weeks
Baby is the size of a: green olive
Team blue/pink/green: I have a feeling it’s a girl. We’ll find out at NIPT.
Upcoming Appointments: Next appointment for all the blood work is 10/24, NT ultrasound is 10/28
How are you feeling?: honestly pretty good. Other than exhaustion I’ve had a really easy go of things. This is my first pregnancy and I really expected to notice it a lot more.
Rants/Raves: one more week of work and then I’m going on a ten day vacation to Joshua Tree and Death Valley National Park! That’s my rave.
Questions: currently don’t really have any.
GTKY: What is the best gift you've ever received? My husband is a musician and recorded a cover of one of my favorite songs and pressed it onto a one of a kind vinyl record for me, with homemade artwork.
