Re: Weekly Checkin w/o 5/22
Baby is the size of a(n): Lime
Team Green/Team Blue/Team Pink: Anxiously awaiting my results for this one! My NIPT was last Wednesday, so I'm hoping to get them soon.
Upcoming appointments: Next three are 6/1, 6/26, and 7/17
How are you feeling? Pretty good! The fatigue has been hitting hard in the afternoons and I definitely have to pee a lot, but other than that I am feeling pretty good at this point.
Raves/Rants: We are planning on telling our families this weekend! I invited my parents and brothers (and their girlfriends) over for a family game night on Friday. Usually my brothers don't even respond, but they both said they'd come, so they might know something is up. Then Monday is my father-in-law's birthday, so my husband's family is all getting together and we'll share the news with them. We haven't sorted out any details yet, but I'm really excited!
Questions: None at the moment.
Baby is the size of a(n): dime
Team Green/Team Blue/Team Pink: team pink! But it will still be a while until we know. We kept it a surprise last pregnancy and are looking forward to finding out at the anatomy scan. We would love a girl since we have a boy already, but I'll be just as happy with a boy, too.
Upcoming appointments: This Friday, first ultrasound and confirmation
How are you feeling? I've been keeping my nausea at bay with b6 and unisom, but there are times the hunger hits so hard and fast I get a little nauseous. Having some days of constipation, some days I'm on the toilet three times in a few hours. The afternoon fatigue hits hard and is preparing me for having 2 kids by not keeping up with some basic household things I used to accomplish in no time.
Trying to figure out how to tell our closest family members after the first ultrasound. I had all these cute ideas in my head and now we're past the occasions it would've been a good time to do it without it being obvious.
Raves/Rants: none
Questions: none
Baby is the size of a(n): lime
Team Green/Team Blue/Team Pink: team don’t care, just want it healthy and alive
Upcoming appointments: June 5th NT scan. We are out of town next week so delayed our 12w scan by a week and it’s killing meeeee!!
How are you feeling? SO MUCH BETTER. Definitely not back to normal but the symptoms are def starting to ease up. Morning nausea is almost gone/super manageable.
Raves/Rants: hubby really wants to start sharing with more friends. I’m still nervous. But I did work up the courage to share with my first coworker today ☺️ she knows my history with loss and IVF so happy tears were shed!
@dmcg17 fingers crossed that you get those results asap and I hope this weekend goes well!
@dogmom512 yay for feeling much better. I can't wait to get to that point!

How are you feeling? Tired. Nauseous. Constipated. Useless lol. Though I got a rx for zofran and will be taking that more regularly.
Raves/Rants: we agreed with the sellers on a 8k credit to repair the bathroom they fucked up. 😹🙈 so we are on for this sale. With that plus our home selling for 10k over asking last week I'm feeling less stress for now. But now comes packing until mid July for closing.

Team green/pink/blue: team baby that stays in my belly until the third trimester!!! My first was a micro-preemie, and I really want to avoid another long term NICU stay!
Upcoming appointments: NIPT next week!
How are you feeling: when the nausea hits, it's really really bad, but then I'll have days where I feel great. I'm extremely tired after work and have been napping a lot. I'm also short tempered 😬😬😬

How are you feeling? Nervous. very exhausted. I want to sleep all day long.
Raves/Rants: I have a lot of questions I want to ask pregnant moms with pre-existing diabetes. managing it is so tricky, I seem to be high all the time and it's freaking me out.
Questions: I want to be part of an online community of pregnant moms with type 1 diabetes. any idea of where I can join them?

Team Green/Team Blue/Team Pink: Team Green 💚 Because of my past with fibroids, I will have a C Section… so the plan is to keep the gender a surprise to help me be excited about something so nerve wracking.
Upcoming appointments: Just had a sonogram and check up today… NT tests show things to be looking healthy and doctor confirmed no fibroids!!! 🙌🏻 Next appt is late June!
How are you feeling? Pretty good 90% of the time! Starting to feel a little energy come back and was able to cook chicken last night without gagging 🤣 But occasionally nausea and dizziness will sneak up on me every few days.
Raves/Rants: I’m craving those giant movie theater pickles with chamoy and tajin… never had one, but saw it on FB and it’s all I can think about now 🤣 Other than that, just trying to keep my anxiety and intrusive thoughts under control.
Questions: I would love ideas on where to buy maternity clothes… not wanting to spend a ton since I mainly work from home!

How are you feeling? Finally starting to feel more like myself. Hoping it continues to improve!
Raves/Rants: Holy boobs! This is my first pregnancy so I guess I didn’t realize how dramatic the growth would be. I’m already up a bra size (band and cup) and not even out of first trimester yet. Also didn’t realize how sore they would be. 😂
