Work is going to be insane this week, so I may not be around much.
Weeks pregnant: 6 weeks and 1 day
Baby is the size of a: Sweet Pea or Lentil
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: Third pregnancy, praying for first THB
Team: Will likely find out, but I haven’t talked to H about this yet.
Appointments: I will call today to make my first appt after getting the “ok” from the RE’s nurse
Symptoms: Tired, sore nips, some nausea, some heartburn, getting cold (this has been a pregnancy symptom for me in the past), and I don’t want anything sweet. I almost gagged watching a friend eat brownies and ice cream, which is very unlike me
Milestones: Had my first US last Friday at 5+5, and saw one baby in the uterus with a HB of 89. Sac measured 5+4, which RE’s office was happy with. HB is slow, but awesome considering the heart just started beating. I’ve never been this pregnant before, and I’ve never seen a baby in my uterus before, so this is huge! Past both other losses now with a good US!
Rants/Raves/Vents: The best daycare in town fills up super fast, so H and I decided I should go ahead and call to reserve a spot for our LO. I’m afraid of jinxing something since I’m still pretty early. Hope doesn’t make bad things happen though, and this daycare is very close to my office.

Finding out!

Rants/Raves/Vents:
I am planning on telling my parents/sister this weekend but the plans changed slightly and now I'm not sure when we'll have time with just family. My sister's friend usually is at my mom's house the entire time she's here and I don't really want to tell her yet :/ so gotta figure that out.

orangehibiscus, I was ALL about the sweets (especially brownies!!) with DD. Now though thought of sweets is bleh, and I'm all about salty stuff and black beans. Which is WTF because I never eat beans and tried them again last month and they were delicious. Weeks pregnant: 6+1 with twins Baby is the size of a: blueberry FTM/STM/TTM/etc: I don't know how to answer this lol STM? Team: Finding out! Taking NIPT in less than five weeks! Appointments: Wednesday for heartbeat check/last appointment with RE Symptoms: my boobs are on fire! Also super tired, yet slept miserably last night, have the runs, and all day nausea Milestones: This Wednesday will be a big one, they want to see both twins have heartbeats Rants/Raves/Vents: This is my last week of summer vacation  and it's raining all day today.

I normally love sweets, so this is very unusual for me! I hate beans normally, so maybe I should try some?? I’m still meh about salt, which is normal for me though. Praying so hard for 2 heartbeats on Wednesday! Boo for rain on your last day of summer vacation! |

I hope it’s ok if I started this! Weeks pregnant: 6w5d Baby is the size of a: skittle FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM Team: Finding out Appointments: have one this Friday to confirm pregnancy. Seems a little redundant because all they really do is order standard bloodwork and schedule me for my next apt when I’m closer to 12. I’m hoping to convince them to order another ultrasound but we’ll see. Symptoms: nausea, tired, sore boobs, super bloated. And have been waking up with headaches. Also having some dizziness Milestones: none Rants/Raves/Vents: nothing so far |

Weeks pregnant: 8w3d
Baby is the size of a: raspberry
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: find out!
Appointments: I had my first appt on Friday. It went wel!
Symptoms: nausea, being cold, my boobs are getting huge, and still pretty tired.
Milestones: just that I had my first appt!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I scheduled my first tri scan. It’s the 24th and feels so far away. Also, we ended up telling our kids last night bc MH was telling his dad when he came over. They are super excited so now I really really hope everything goes well.

Weeks pregnant: 7w 4d
Baby is the size of a: wee raspberry
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Find Out
Appointments: Next Tuesday! And hopefully an US before the end of that week.
Symptoms: nausea and gagging but not throwing up, exhaustion, sore boobs, digestion issues mostly constipation, occasional twinges and cramping which I'm hoping are normal especially since I had a csection with DD
Milestones: nothing major this is the week except that my babies tend to stop growing around now so I've got that going through my mind
Rants/Raves/Vents: vacation was great because it entertained DD and someone else could help make dinner. I'm flying solo this week so I'm proud that I just made it to the store and took DD to the pool today. I have a lot planned for us this week so hopefully that will help keep me distracted

weeks pregnant: 6 weeks even
Baby is the size of a: palmogrante seed

Team: undecided. I have boys and girls stuff already so could be team green easily. Until I have my first ultrasound I kinda haven't thought much further about anything after that.
Appointments: 8/24
Symptoms: gagging, hungry more than usual, I feel like i should be more exhausted than i have been.
Milestones: not for a few weeks.
Rants/Raves/Vents: nothing at the moment. Taking the day off tomorrow and sending the kids to daycare. We are having a day date. I am excited about this.😀

Weeks pregnant: 9+ 5
Baby is the size of a: southern pecan
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Finding out
Appointments: panorama draw this week
Symptoms: the headaches have arrived 😞 I get occasional twinges that catch my breath but not as bad as my D2’s pregnancy, I guess my uterus is tired and stretchy now. I’m still really tired but the nausea is easing up. It was kicking in at 11 am for the last few weeks, now I make it till early afternoon. I hope the trend continues!
Milestones: none of my non-maternity clothes fit anymore
Rants/Raves/Vents: made it through family trip #1 without outright revealing the pregnancy, no doubt everyone “knows” but whatever, I’m just not ready to talk about it/tell the kids until the NIPT comes back clear.
Really happy DH is on holidays this week!

Just did the panorama draw this afternoon! Eeek. Can’t believe that time has come. I know my doctor is on holidays until the 12th so even if it’s a fast turn around I don’t think I’ll hear anything until then.

So my sharp right sided pain came back yesterday and of course I “know” that it’s the cyst, but I’m still scared. The provider I see tomorrow is not my regular doc, and I have only met her NP once. So I’m hoping she will be understanding and helpful with giving me the bloodwork and maybe another ultrasound. Because I really don’t know how to calm down and just enjoy this pregnancy.

I'm so paranoid there won't be a heartbeat when I go in next. I also am not able to enjoy this at all...yet.
I know the chance of a missed miscarriage is like 1% but it happens and I'm still so nervous.

remi sorry it's flaring up again and I hope they let you get another u/s Yogurt pgal brain is so so cruel. I hate that I'm constantly adding "if this is real / if we get this baby in March/ if if if" to every sentence about the pregnancy but I can't help it most of the time. I love/hate the progesterone I'm taking too because I believe it's a key to why this pregnancy has been my longest this year but it also makes me feel uneasy knowing I won't start spotting if I am mc'ing again. After my good u/s this time my nurse scheduled my first appt and it was like that was that, I wasn't a special case anymore, and while I'm obviously 100% thankful for the good news, I still can't help but feel anxious about how far it is until that appt. Basically I'm sorry ladies and solidarity! ❤

Oh my god I wasn't even thinking about the fact that the progesterone would keep me from spotting making it obvious I was miscarrying. Shit. Ugh, I wish I could fast forward this pregnancy.

Well I obviously didn't help, sorry 😬 Realistically there would be other symptoms, and some women say they did spot while on progesterone, so it's not a fact. Just another thing my brain won't let me let go. |

and it's raining all day today.
