FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Finding out

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Cherry

Upcoming appointments: appointment with my OB 10/21 and NIPT bloodwork on 10/27

How are you feeling?: Mostly tired. My 15 month old has been waking up ~6 times a night to nurse for probably 6-7 months now. He’s really struggled with solids (seeing an OT), so I haven’t been able to wean. I miss uninterrupted sleep!

Rants/Raves:
Rant: I think my answer above can also count as my rant 😅

Rave: My food aversions, which were very intense, are finally starting to pass!

Questions: None

GTKY: What food/beverage are you missing the most while pregnant?

I’m not really missing much right now due to aversions. I wasn’t drinking any alcohol and only very little caffeine prior to getting pregnant, but I think I will start to miss raw sushi and runny eggs!
I’ll still eat cooked sushi, steak at medium/medium well temps, and will heat deli meats to steaming like I did during my last pregnancy if I start to crave them (all of which are safe:).

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 11 weeks, May 11th

FTM/STM/STM+: STM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: team finding out with the NIPT

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: baby is the size of a Cheeto puff today

Upcoming appointments: 10/31 I have my 12 week check up. They'll do the Doppler to hear the HB and then draw blood for the NIPT plus I think a couple other tests.

How are you feeling?: nausea is better but still lingering. Still struggling with eating because I don't know if it's nausea or feeling hungry. I wouldn't say I have any aversions (besides eggs which I never cared for the smell of pre-pregnancy to begin with), but I have a hard time really loving anything I'm eating.

Rants/Raves: the threenager age is TERRIBLE. My kid was very whiny all weekend and was just not listening. Gah! I about lost my cool on him last night because he never wants to sleep in his own bed. Usually I'm rocking him to sleep in the recliner, transferring him to his bed, then getting woken up by him climbing into our bed in the middle of the night where he sleeps soundly next to me. I finally got out of him last night that he doesn't seem to like the light that comes in from his window. Says he's scared. There's an exterior light along the wall his window is on of the apartment building that I have no access to turning on or off. So I will be stopping at the store for some blackout curtains and hopefully that will get him to sleep through the night when he's with me and stop him from coming to bed.

Questions: nah

GTKY: What food/beverage are you missing the most while pregnant?
Not missing anything really. Just sad I'm not finding food to be tasty. Haven't been really avoiding things either besides alcohol although I did have a TINY SIP of my BF's drink a couple weeks ago when I knew I was pregnant. I've done the sub sandwich a couple times too without heating up the meat. That'll be the case for a work thing tomorrow because they're getting Jimmy John's and I don't think they even have the capability to warm the meat or toast a sub.

I'm most annoyed that the spa we went to on our vacation last week wouldn't even entertain giving me a massage at 10 weeks like we're such delicate flowers in our first trimester. There's no scientific evidence they can cause a miscarriage from what I was reading in threads that talked about why a masseuse would or would not massage someone in the first trimester of their pregnancy. I guess this should go up in the rant section haha.

How are you feeling?: My terrible all day nausea slowed end of week 8 and week 9 I've been nausea-free, which is good but then of course I get paranoid. Boobs have never been worse 😭 so sensitive and painful most of the time.

Rants/Raves: Stomach Settle lozenges were a life saver! I highly recommend.

Questions: How long does it take to get NIPT test results?

GTKY: What food/beverage are you missing the most while pregnant? I miss over easy eggs, and I MISS more than one cup of coffee more than anything.

Questions:

GTKY: What food/beverage are you missing the most while pregnant?

Probably sushi... I've been eating deli sandwiches and did have Poke twice though so I can't complain too much! I'll probably have sushi at some point since I'd like to eat more fish and cooked salmon is the one aversion that seems to be lasting. I do miss more than one cup of coffee.

To answer one of the questions, I got my NIPT results back in 6 days.
