Re: Introductions
I'm so glad this round of TTC was it for you! It's been a while since I actively TTC and I'll always remember the elation of checking and squinting and finally getting a positive test! I adore quilts for babies and I can't wait to see what you dream up!
*Why did I think V day was the 7th?! I better add baby brain to my symptoms. Good grief haha.
EDD: honestly I think February 17 but I wasn't paying nearly enough attention to my cycle so 😵💫 for now I'm saying the 17th, we'll see.
Baby #: 3, 2nd living, recently miscarried with my last baby Neriah.
Found out: squinter line at 11dpo, been TTC since our loss so. Oddly I had gotten a negative, cried about it, then randomly felt the need to take an afternoon test later (which I never do)
Emotionally feeling: happy, trying not to be scared of another miscarriage.
Symptoms: I had really bad nausea w both of my others before even hitting 4 weeks, this time nothing. It almost worries me tbh. But still fatigued so.
Fun fact: I'm very crunchy already but pregnancy made me even more so!
I know for me, I think my nausea is more spotty and easier to ignore in the very beginning with the last few children than it was when I was younger and was newer to pregnancy, I'm not sure why. Maybe the same is true for you, your body hit your stride and your nausea will start to properly wreak havoc before too long!
I used to be crunchy, now I'm a labelless mix of all the things that are important to me.
It’s so awesome to get to meet you guys! I’m Shawna! I’ve been married for almost two years, and we have two dogs and a cat together!
EDD: 2/18
Baby #: this is my second pregnancy
How you found out: I had been suspicious for a few days, so I took a test (WAY too early) and was getting faint positives! I knew I wasn’t crazy making them up when I waited a few days and tried again!
How are you feeling emotionally: MUCH better mentally this time around. My first pregnancy I always had this “doom” feeling lingering over me. But I actually just told my husband that so far, I feel really good!
Symptoms: so far just some boob tenderness, increased appetite, and I’m very tired all the time, but have awful insomnia at night.
Fun fact about you: I LOVE plants! I have a small forest of about 50 or so different plants in my house (with the collection always growing 🤪)
Congrats! 🥰
none of that this pregnancy, so hoping its a good sign!
also: ill teach you to quilt if you teach me to keep my plants alive! 😂
EDD: February 22nd
Baby #: first!!
How you found out: it was our first cycle of properly trying and my husband and I are mega impatient so we tested asap and it was positive!! Ahhhh!
How are you feeling emotionally: excited, overwhelmed and a little scared :)
Symptoms: dull cramping and some bloating, but not much yet.
Fun fact about you: I had to be rescued via military helicopter from my first attempt at a honeymoon (whoopsies)
