Due date: 11/1 12w4d I think
Size: apricot
Team green this time! 😬😬
Upcoming appts: this week I will finally meet my doctor! Also just a routine appt/exam.
Symptoms: not really having any except I’m really tired. Not sure if I can blame pregnancy or not so I’ll go with yes. Also I can’t stop eating. But like, these two symptoms aren’t outside of the norm for me sooo
Rants/raves/AW: time feels like it’s moving slowly! I’m looking forward to the halfway mark when I will have the a/s and can tell my employer. I had my a/s a full 3 weeks sooner in my last pregnancy so I know I’ll be feeling impatient about it. We are team green but I just want to see that baby is healthy.
GTKY: a 96 Oldsmobile

When is your due date? How far along are you? December 17; 6 weeks, 5 days
How big is baby? Chocolate chip or a ladybug.
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out. Must be able to plan accordingly!
Any Upcoming Appointments? Ultrasound tomorrow and, if all is well (and it will be!), another ultrasound / official OB check-in on May 1.
Symptoms: Sore boobs, though not as painful as when pregnant with DD. Nausea in the morning, but I usually feel better once I’ve eaten. As long as I keep shoveling food into my mouth, the nausea is kept in check. Also so very tired.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? DD was such a threenager this weekend. I about ran when I dropped her off at daycare this morning.
GTKY: What was your first car? 1996 Saturn that I wrecked two weeks after getting my license. Oops. In my defense, that car was wrecked before I had it (it had a R title). After I wrecked it, my dad sold it cheap to a friend’s dad. He fixed it up and gave it to his daughter. She got t-boned and the car officially died. I think that car was just cursed.

How big is baby? Somewhere between a blueberry and raspberry.
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out.
Any Upcoming Appointments? Ultrasound on Wednesday.
Symptoms: Nausea, Sore boobs, Insomnia but also fatigue, wtf.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? We got to see the bean last week. I was having some bleeding and cramping so had to go in for an ultrasound. Everything looked good, and the bleeding/spotting has stopped. It was our 5th wedding anniversary so it was a nice unexpected gift to see the spawn.
GTKY: What was your first car? A sporty little Saturn. I loved that car.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Second tri starts tomorrow! Woohoo!

When is your due date? How far along are you? 11/29; 8 + 3
How big is baby? A 2 x 2 Lego brick
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Team blue
Any Upcoming Appointments? "First" appointment with the OB on Thursday
Symptoms: Nausea finally seems to be subsiding a little, and my appetite came back a little this weekend! Bleeding from the SCH also finally seems to be gone, so now I'm mostly just left with complete, utter exhaustion. My kid was kind enough to nap all weekend, so I was able to all weekend as well, but I'm sure I'll be dragging this afternoon at work.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I also feel like time is moving slowly right now. I'm counting down to 10 weeks when I can start weaning off the progesterone and estrogen from the FET, and then the end of first tri.
GTKY: What was your first car? A Geo Tracker, technically. It was my dad's, but once I was 16 it was mine to drive to school, work, etc. It was... not a very safe car for a first car, lol.

Symptoms: Nausea is in full force. Walking or swift movement seems to make it much worse.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Whyyyy you gotta come so late in the game, morning (all day) sickness?? I’m leaving New Orleans and I’m bitter that I was too sick to eat all the food. It’s bad enough I couldn’t drink all the beer and cocktails.
GTKY: What was your first car? Mustang, which I totaled two weeks later.

Dramaphile After the Saturn, I ended up with my grandparent’s silver Dodge Dynasty. It came complete with red leather seats, fancy wood trim, and fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror.

GTKY: What was your first car? I shared a car my parents bought for my sister and I a Ford Taurus. My first solo car was a Mitsubishi Eclipse. I loved that thing!

Due date: Dec 6th, 7+4
Size: Small raspberry
Team green?: Finding out, the sooner the better!
Upcoming appt: next Monday, 4/30
Symptoms: sore boobs, insomnia, exhaustion, never-ending nausea, generally feeling like death
Rants/Raves/Questions: I know this is silly, but I’m nervous about my appt next week. I have a transvaginal ultrasound first and then I’m seeing the dr directly afterwards. I’ve never had a TV ultrasound; is there anything I should do/know beforehand? Is it painful?
GTKY: 02 Mazda6 that my brother and I shared in high school. He was way more into driving than I was; I was pretty content for him to chauffeur me around. Lol

paisleytulips it is not painful at all, and much less invasive than a pap, for example. IME, the lights are dimmed and you can have a paper sheet over your knees. The tech isn’t “down there”, they’re just reaching over with the wand. I always laugh thinking about my old OB. She made a “just the tip” joke the first time she did a TV u/s for me. But it’s true it’s just a little bit.

How big is baby? Lime, I guess
Team Finding Out / Team Green? I will know!
Any Upcoming Appointments? I had two on Friday and realized they overlapped yesterday when I got a reminder for one. So now I have my NT scan Friday and my OB appt next Tuesday.
Symptoms: nausea if I don't eat, nausea and upset stomach after I stop eating, fatigue.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Yesterday was my son's third birthday. We had two birthday parties (Friday for some family and Sunday for some other family and friends), and now my house is a disaster. Also I've been pooping all day, thanks digestive system.
GTKY: What was your first car? '91 fastback mustang. Wine red interior, had only been owned by one old lady and though it was in great shape (minus some cigarette burns in the seat), it took months to work it up to going freeway speeds.

The TV ultrasound was really fine. I was worried too but it ended up being fairly comfortable.
Or as comfortable as it could be with a wand up my vag. But you know what I mean.

Team Finding Out / Team Green? must know!!
Any Upcoming Appointments? Wednesday NT scan
Symptoms: nausea is still in full force - I thought I was getting a break for a couple days but it's back unfortunately. I've had some inconsistent spotting but I think it's mostly related to constipation, which has been a joy...
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I'm anxious for the NT scan and to get tot he second tri!!
GTKY: What was your first car? 2000 Honda Accord. I was that girl who got a brand new car at 16 (I know, I hate me too), but I was pretty responsible. We actually had the car until just a couple years ago when we sold it, so I definitely got my use out of it!

paisleytulips, TV ultrasounds are not painful at all, I promise. I've had so many at this point, it's ridiculous. The only time it's even a little uncomfortable is if they have to search around a lot for your ovaries or other measurements, although my OB has never gotten that detailed, it's just been at the RE for those things. Also, make sure you completely empty your bladder beforehand. For some reason, I never realize I have to pee until they're in the middle of an ultrasound, lol.

Haha I have had a lot of dates with the vag cam. It’s really no big deal though.
So betas are 782!! I am so excited and relieved. And also slightly nervous that there could be two! Finally have my first US scheduled tho. April 30th. So one more week of waiting to find out if all is well and how many are potentially in there.

Pretty sure the regular ultrasound with a full bladder is worse than transvaginal. Gimme all the transvaginal over wanting to pee everywhere. This message brought to you by the joys of last week’s ultrasound. Get to do it tomorrow, too. Woooooo.

Finally have my first US scheduled tho. April 30th. So one more week of waiting to find out if all is well and how many are potentially in there. We did a single embryo transfer, but my betas had super fast doubling times this time around - like 30-36 hours I think, with my son I had much slower rising betas. I also felt so sick so early, which was so different than my first. When we went for our first ultrasound with the RE, I kind of joked like, "hey, just to make sure, there's only one baby in there, right?" She searched around some more and was like, "well, actually...." we saw what they diagnosed as a much less developed embryo that wound up turning into a vanishing twin. But until the next ultrasound where there was just the one, healthy baby, H and I had quite the shock!
