FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM


Team: Blue


Appointments: next week


Symptoms: a rollercoaster in my guts, some pelvic and low back pain, a bit of a sinus thing going on, and “mood swings” is putting it lightly


Milestones: viability!


Rants/Raves/Vents: I’ll rave that I’ve only had to get up to pee 1x per night for the last two sleeps! I think I was averaging 6x last week.


GTKY: if you could pick one lifestyle extravagance what would it be?

I would have my hair blown out at the salon instead of ever doing it myself. Dream big!

[bex15]

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 19+2 / April 6th


Baby is the size of a: Mango


FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM


Team: Green

Symptoms: Still peeing a ton, some RLP


Milestones: Nothing this week


Rants/Raves/Vents: I've been soo irritable lately


GTKY: if you could pick one lifestyle extravagance what would it be? Someone to come and decorate my house

[grover]

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 20+2 with twins, eviction date 3/17

Baby is the size of a: paper airplanes

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Double Blue

Appointments: A/S today!

Symptoms: charley horses, exhaustions

[lemondrop]

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 17 weeks today / April 22


Baby is the size of a: pear


FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM


Team: blue! Maxwell Brian


Appointments: no clue. A/s on 11/16 cancelled, due to starting a new job


Symptoms: nausea, constipation


Milestones: I think morning sickness is over! *knocks on wood* and H put together little guy’s crib this weekend 💙


Rants/Raves/Vents: I’m officially breaking up with my OBGYN. Because my health insurance will lapse for 4 weeks between when I start my new job and the new insurance starts, I called and asked to push up my a/s, or push it back to mid-December. They agreed, then called back and said no for a few random reasons. My aunt is an OB in Boston, and when I relayed what they told me to her, she told me to run. This is one of the few times I wish I’d never moved out of New England. I’m so irritated. So, I guess my a/s won’t be until 22-23 weeks, which really sucks.


GTKY: if you could pick one lifestyle extravagance what would it be? I’d love to have my own plane/pilot. I travel a lot for work, and I inevitably get stuck in airports.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 17+ 3 / April 19

Baby is the size of a: chipmunk


FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM


Team: Pink 💕


Appointments: tomorrow for regular OB check


Symptoms: I tried stopping unisom, which went horribly even with the zofran. Hopefully I can figure out something with my Dr tomorrow. Lots of RLP, random movement (yay!)


Milestones: I finally told my boss!


Rants/Raves/Vents: I have a horrible cough right now. No other cold symptoms, but it has been making me feel terrible. DD has it too, but hasn’t slowed down at all. But H has been pretty good about letting me sleep and doing some extra straightening around the house. I slept 13 hours one night this weekend. I was in shock when I woke up and saw the clock.


GTKY: if you could pick one lifestyle extravagance what would it be?
I have so many, and now have added ideas from in here.

Personal chef
Personal trainer at my house
Weekly pedicures
Someone to come decorate my house
Monthly car detailing

Too bad I’m quitting my job and am going the opposite direction of all of these 😂

[jacks]

lemondrop That is frustrating about your OB. Hopefully you can find someone else soon. My A/S is also at 22 weeks, which is annoying. I scheduled mine back at my first appointment and even then it was hard to find back to back appointments for US and doctor that H could also make it to. So many moving parts.

Rants/Raves/Vents:
So glad I have more of an appetite back. I enjoy food 😂 non pregnancy related, I'm very frustrated because our spare car is crapping out and we can't replace it until end of summer. I don't want to not have a car 😭

[jacks]

Wicket I love that you put your tree up! We were planning on doing it last weekend, but then I was so sick and miserable. I love Christmas decorations! I’m waiting until after Thanksgiving to totally switch over since we are hosting.

loorin I’m with you on the weaning off unisom. I tried last week and day 1 I had no appetite, but could keep down bland food. Day 2 I woke up vomiting and had to take a zofran just to get to bedtime. It was awful.

I keep trying on a weekend so I don't mess with my work day and well, it's ruining my weekends instead. I have reglan to take on top of the unisom/b6 but it makes me SO tired, I can barely function, so I prefer not to take it unless it's absolutely necessary. I think I'm going to table the weaning thing for another few weeks.

I hope so, too! 

Really though, I feel like all I do is complain on this board, lol. Things are actually going really well! My new job should be awesome, I've heard nothing but good things about the OB I'm getting my records to, my H is fabulous and his family is super excited about the baby, etc etc. Someone smack me next time I start bitching. 

[Wicket]

Complain away all you want!! I don’t think you complain a lot though. I’m glad things are going well!

[jewelsofthenile]

Yogurt thats a good looking ultrasound profile. Hi little guy.

I should add mine but its not the best picture kind of blurry. She was definitely hiding her face from the tech.
