How are you feeling?
Raves/Rants:
I tried to get Taylor Swift tickets during the initial fiasco a few months back. Last week I got an email about entering a second chance lotto, and ended up scoring floor seats right by the stage for a friend and myself. It’s in mid-June so good timing in the pregnancy too. I’m not one of the die hard fans or anything, but I’m pretty excited!
Questions:
No

Peach 🍑
Upcoming appointments:
Seeing my OB on Wednesday - fooor the last time.. just switched over to a different provider/midwife
How are you feeling?
Much better! I can’t believe nausea subsided. But, round ligament pain has kicked in. And I am sooo ravenously hungry these days. My husband can’t keep up with my appetite, 4 smaller meals a day haha. Really sucks that opening my fridge still makes me gag though. My only trigger now that the all-day nausea is gone.
Raves/Rants:
not much of a rant but I did NOT expect to not fit my clothes so quickly 😂 my bloaty bump is turning into a baby-baby bump!
Questions:
No questions rn
GTKY: What was the last book you read?
Boundaries: When to say Yes & How to Say No
Seemed like an appropriate read before baby enters the picture!!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: blue
Upcoming appointments: i'll have my first in person appointment at 16 weeks because i cancelled my 12 week
How are you feeling? my family and i have been sick non stop, with the exception of maybe 1.5 weeks total, since we all got covid when i was at 5 weeks. i dont remember what it feels like to not feel bad.
Raves/Rants: i've been trying to get DH to agree to moving somewhere warmer for like 7 years. He's finally coming around. which is weird timing because i wouldn't move while pregnant or for the first year of baby. No way do i want to get a new job and figure out how to pump three times per day, etc. But its still pretty exciting to think that I might not have to deal with many more of these depressing winters.
Questions: anyone try acupuncture for headache/ migraine? did it work?
GTKY: What was the last book you read? I only listen to audiobooks during commutes, but the last one was probably some real estate book. I haven't been able to listen to anything since getting pregnant, it makes my headaches worse.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Green
Baby is the size of a(n): a fetus
Upcoming appointments: 3/17 for normal OB appt, and will finally do all my labs unless i can sneak down the hospital sometime before. i had my NT scan yesterday but my orders for NIPT and oither labs were messed up and my OB was off, i could've pushed to have someone else sign off but didn't feel like it in the moment.
How are you feeling? today - tired and nauseous which is so annoying b/c i got a lovely 8.5 hours of sleep. i've been really focusing on getting good sleep.
Raves/Rants: see above rant re tired/nauseous
Questions: natm
GTKY: What was the last book you read? currently working through Michelle Obama's the Light We Carry (loving it) just having a hard time finding time to read. my favorite book i read in 2022 was Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, would highly recommend.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Hopefully finding out within the next week through NIPT.
Baby is the size of a(n): Lemon
Upcoming appointments: Late March
How are you feeling? The last week has sucked emotionally. Physically, I gag daily but my nausea is starting to improve.
Raves/Rants: Nah
Questions: NATM
GTKY: What was the last book you read? I don’t read much. I’m good at starting books and never finishing them.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): lime
Upcoming appointments: 3/16 for NT scan
How are you feeling? I felt extra nauseous and lightheaded yesterday but doing better today. Also, I feel like last week's scare put me in hypervigilance mode. My heart starts racing whenever I get an email thinking it could be NIPT results.
Raves/Rants: I went to the dermatologist today and I need a mole removed off my leg. I got to schedule the appointment for the end of the month because he wants me to confirm it's okay with my OB since it's minor surgery. I've had this procedure done probably about 20 times before. I have history of mild and moderate to severe atipia so I know it's necessary and I'm grateful for being able to catch these things early but I'm still bummed that it has to be now to add another thing to my plate.
Questions: none
GTKY: What was the last book you read? Atomic Habits by James Clear. I finished it the day I found out I was pregnant and almost immediately forgot everything I learned, as most of my habits went out the window when I went into first tri survival mode. Maybe I'll revisit it again in the near future. Hoping to get back into reading soon. I'm big on getting physical books from the library but just haven't felt up to going.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: team green - though the ultrasound tech may have given it away (on accident!) 😬 we are going to pretend we don’t know and still tell everyone else we are waiting
Baby is the size of a(n): peach
Upcoming appointments: 4/3! Just had my NT scan Monday
How are you feeling? EXHAUSTED. Just seriously so tired I want to cry by the end of the night, and some days about mid-afternoon.
Raves/Rants: Just the exhaustion!
Questions:
GTKY: What was the last book you read?
I just finished Matthew Perry’s book, and was pleasantly surprised - I was afraid it would leave me hating him or hating the book, but I hate neither. Ive been too tired to read the next book I downloaded and keep delaying my library books that come off hold for my kindle the last couple of weeks, though. 😴
@cammie0526 I was a hardcore Taylor Swift fan in middle school and all I wanted were tickets to her concert. My father got my sister and I Jonas Brother's tickets instead (her favorite band). I'll never forget the pain haha
@litzi-2 moving is rought, especially when pregnant or with an infant! We are rushing to move to a much better city before the baby is born. Maternity leave here is guaranteed for 6 months, so I'm not roo concerned about starting a new job, though.
@anniemarie887 sucks you still feel bad after a good night's sleep. I noticed I feel better if I sleep for more than 9 hours haha, maybe you have to try to sleep longer!
@babysavvy same with me for the nausea. I've had issues during class and had to step out until the feeling passed. But getting better!
@woodland26 the lightheadedness is really terrible. I never expected this.
@andrawrmeda2 I moved across the world from my side of the family and still deal with the drama every day. There's no distances big enough
@runningyogimama I am worried about the US tech giving it away for us because I really want to wait. They usually don't here since it's illegal, but I've heard of them telling expecting parents who aren't Chinese. I don't know if we fit into that since my husband is Chinese though. Also. I cry from exhaustion ALL of the time now! I can't control it, I'm just too tired!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: green

Upcoming appointments: end of this month
How are you feeling? Nauseous and tired. I also have major tooth pains from
a failed root canal and I’m waiting to get the tooth pulled
Raves/Rants: 10 more days before I can get my tooth pulled! I am hoping the amoxicillin kicks in so I feel a little better while I wait this out. This is going to be a long 10 days…..
Questions: Natm
GTKY: What was the last book you read? I don’t even know. It would have been something for my mba classes
