Week/Fruit/EDD: 12w 5d/plum/Sept 25

FTM, Etc: FTM

Appointments: Sometime in April!

Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Blue!

Milestones: almost past the 1st trimester!!

Symptoms: Nothing much, a small amount of food aversion

Rants: Woke up this morning with an insane pain in my tailbone, I read this can happen during pregnancy? It’s so debilitating I don’t know if I can go to work tonight if it continues 😩

Raves: I realized that while my due date it Sept 25, could you imagine if he was born September 21?? Then I could play Earth Wind and Fire’s September EVERY YEAR for his birthday and start my mom embarrassment early 😂

GTKY: If you could hire out one household chore, which would it be?
Cleaning bathrooms. It’s all just awkward and hard, I hate trying to wipe dust from behind the toilet, I hate having to scrub the tub in a weird position, and the floors just never seem 100% clean, there’s always little bits of dust the mop left 🤯

Hi, I've been lurking. PGAL kept me from posting before my first appointment.

Week/Fruit/EDD: 9/pecan/Oct 16

FTM, Etc: 3tm (I have two boys)

Appointments: not until mid-April

Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out

Milestones: still pregnant, good first appointment

Symptoms: nauseous all the time, but it's not as bad as previous pregnancies.

Rants: DS1 tested positive for flu this morning and I am desperate for no one else to get it.

Raves: not vomiting

[thinkchocolate05]

Week/Fruit/EDD: 11w1d/lime/Oct 6

FTM, Etc: 3tm

Appointments: normal ob March 25, MFM March 26

Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out

Milestones: A good ultrasound on Monday would be a big milestone for me

Symptoms: I think the nausea is getting a little better over the past day, which is on track with my other pregnancies. Tired, cranky, some stretchy cramping

Rants: None at the moment, just nervous for my appointments. My belly is flatter today, which is probably just reduced bloat, but I still worry sometimes

Raves: Excited to tell my boys if the appointment on next Monday goes well. DS2 won't understand but I think DS1 (4) will be excited.

GTKY: If you could hire out one household chore, which would it be? Laundry! There is so much of it and I just can't stay on top of it.

Week/Fruit/EDD: 11/Poker Chip/October 7

Raves: Not pregnancy related, but the weather here is finally staying in the 50s and 60s so I’m ready to be done with coats and boots.

GTKY: If you could hire out one household chore, which would it be?
Another one for laundry. Haaaate laundry.

Week/Fruit/EDD: 11w2d / Lego Mini Figure / Oct 5

FTM, Etc: 2TM

Appointments: OB on Wednesday, dentist for me and J on Thursday, NT scan on Friday. Busy week.

Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Green

Milestones: At the point where most of my symptoms have abated but I'm not showing and don't feel movement so it's a weird time

Symptoms: Some nausea in the mornings, face is a minefield, gag reflex is horrible

Rants: Going to have to tell the OB this week I'm declining the early GD test since the only risk factor is my weight (and I'm only about 5lbs heavier than I was when I got pregnant with J). Hopefully she just accepts it.

Raves: So much more energy! I feel productive again.

GTKY: If you could hire out one household chore, which would it be? Cleaning. If we can afford cleaners someday, I will be thrilled. I hate the time suck.

[moonandback141]

Welcome musicallyinclined!

Appointments: Next week! 3/26

Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Finding out ASAP - will get NIPT next appt.

Milestones: Still pregnant

Symptoms: Symptoms are easing up, but they're still there. Nausea, mostly. Lots of dry heaving.

Rants: Just so tired of 1st tri. I'm counting down the days.

Raves: Glad the symptoms are giving me a break. But also glad they're still there enough to let me know that everything is ok.

GTKY: If you could hire out one household chore, which would it be?
All of them, honestly. I'm the worst housekeeper. My poor H.

[randomosity]

Welcome, musicallyinclined! Not to sound like a creeper but I remember you from the July/August bmb. You left right before me ❤️ I'm glad to see you are expecting again and I hope you have a long and healthy pregnancy.

[randomosity]

babystandish you are too cute! Love that you included a bump pic!

[peggyhill]

Welcome musicallyinclined, hope your pregnancy is uneventful! 😊

Week/Fruit/EDD: 12w3d, Clementine, 9/27

FTM, Etc: Baby #4

Appointments: Next week. I had to push it back.

Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): We'll be finding out.

Milestones: Umm maybe I'm in second trimester? It's either 12 or 13 weeks, right? Close enough.

Symptoms: Still feeling like garbage but the Diclegis helps keep me from puking. I'm so sleepy and feel weak, but that may be from my vitamin D deficiency...I'm trying to take the supplement but I've noticed I throw up when I do most of the time 🤦🏼‍♀️ anyway, these things also make me feel a bit grumpy.

Rants: just so done with feeling pukey and nauseated. So. Freaking. Done. 7 weeks of this and who knows how many more. Blah.

Raves: I can at least keep food down, as long as I have Diclegis. And my husband and son finally come home tonight!

GTKY: If you could hire out one household chore, which would it be? Laundry. Lawd, I never knew how much laundry 5 people could produce.

Feel free to include a bump pic if you have one!
I feel like my bump is still mostly bloat but it does seem to be fairly constant. Maybe I'll start the weekly pictures (or "whenever I remember" pictures 😉) and have one next week.

[doodlemommy]

Week/Fruit/EDD: 8+1, wild strawberry, oct 27ish

FTM, Etc: TTM

Appointments: April 4!

Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): green

Milestones: past my loss milestones! Almost out of embryo-hood

Symptoms: exhaustion, super hungry, some bloating

Rants: if my 17 month old could get his act together that would be great. He has had a super bad cough so we have been rocking him to sleep as being upright helped (otherwise he was coughing and gagging and gasping and not sleeping). But now that he is on the mend he refuses to go into his bed awake. So I spent 20 minutes on the floor beside his crib at nap time until he fell asleep. Retraining may be in his near future. Oh, and he thinks he can walk everywhere and doesn’t need to hold my hand. So I also get the pleasure of hauling his screaming flailing little body across parking lots 🙄

Raves: DD has been working really hard at getting ready for kindergarten and it’s adorable. Today she decided to count as many of her toy characters as she could and wanted me to draw shapes for her to colour and cut out

GTKY: If you could hire out one household chore, which would it be? Hmm. Probably dusting. DH vacuums (which I hate). I am a neat freak and don’t mind most cleaning tasks

Feel free to include a bump pic if you have one! I don’t post pics on here, but no bump yet. I can feel my uterus being more firm/hard but it’s not visible

[aeroplaneoverthesea]

Week/Fruit/EDD: 9w5d/Around October 1st or 16th depending on the number of babies

FTM, Etc: 3TM/4TM

Appointments: Ultrasound on Wednesday

Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out

Milestones: We’ve almost made it two weeks from our last ultrasound.

Symptoms: Still vomiting. Starting feel uncomfortable in my work clothes.

Rants: I was sick at work so much I had to let my boss know about the pregnancy. She kept making remarks about how I wasn’t anywhere near this sick with my DD, and she asked me point blank if I was sure it wasn’t two. I told her there’s two, we’re keeping an eye on the smaller one, and of course she spread that news to EVERYONE.

I’m also just having this nightmare where I’m going to be vomiting and miserable for 6 more months, go to sleep one night and then wake up with two newborns. Gah!!

Raves: I can see the end of first trimester!

GTKY: If you could hire out one household chore, which would it be? DH does the dishes, I do the laundry. I’d be happy to hire an every two week cleaner for toilets, dusting, floors...stuff that doesn’t get done as often as it should.

[thinkchocolate05]

aeroplaneoverthesea Sorry you are feeling so sick. That's pretty disrespectful and inappropriate of your boss to spread the news around. That should be between you and her!!

[babystandish]

aeroplaneoverthesea so not cool about your boss!

[marshian]

aeroplaneoverthesea WTF to your boss?!

[musicallyinclined]

What the hell, aeroplaneoverthesea?

[aeroplaneoverthesea]

Yeah. I work for a small business, so there’s really not much privacy and I think people feel more comfortable talking about personal stuff. However, one of our staff members just had an ectopic pregnancy, I know there are others struggling with IF...it really pissed me off that she outted me to everyone without much thought how it would make me or others feel.

Holy shit that’s really terrible of her, I hope it all smooths out ☹️

[stayingblonde]

aeroplaneoverthesea Did your boss also tell everyone there were two, even though the one is uncertain? Because that's some shit right there.

Grrrr.

[moonandback141]

aeroplaneoverthesea sorry that happened to you (and the other girls in the office who are struggling.) Sending you good vibes for tomorrow!

[Pinkflower22]

Week/Fruit/EDD: 7 weeks

FTM, Etc: 2TM

Appointments: I had my first ultrasound last Friday. We saw a baby and a heartbeat so that was good, but the heart rate was 108 which my doctor said was "a little slow" but probably normal for this early. The baby measured 6 weeks 3 days, which was like 3 days smaller than what I thought but that's probably fine. But having experience recurrent losses I can't stop fixating on the heart rate. I feel like I'm just waiting for another loss now and it's really making me miserable. I have another scan in two weeks so now just have to wait.

Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): will hopefully find out

Milestones: none

Symptoms: so nauseous. I have literally only been able to stomach a tiny bit of crackers and bread for the last week and I feel so weak. I'm just a mess over here.

Rants: I hate this part. So sucky physically and emotionally.

Raves: honestly none right now.

GTKY: If you could hire out one household chore, which would it be?
I'm joining the laundry train! It's gotten even worse now that I'm so sick, I am way behind.

Wow that's really shitty. I'm sorry. Some people are seriously so dense. 

[randomosity]

Pinkflower22 I hope your little one is okay and that you are able to get some peace of mind asap.

[cateyes]

Hugs Pinkflower22!! Baby is super little and that heart is just starting. I have heard anything 100 or over at you time frame is perfectly normal. Fingers crossed for you!!
