Weeks Pregnant:
7+2
Baby is the Size of a:
Lemon head
FTM/STM/TTM/etc.:
STM
Appointments:
Another U/S and dr appointment on 1/14
How are you feeling?
Nervous to have another positive U/S next week. I will be past my loss date at that one. Other than that I’m still just always nauseous and exhausted.
Rants/raves?
My dr didn’t send my meds in last week and I just got a message from his nurse that she sent them this morning so I’ll be hopefully starting those tonight.

I wanted to be an archeologist most of the time growing up and switched to early elementary teacher around college. I taught kindergarten for 8 years and because a sahm when we moved (daycare costs were more than I would make teaching so it made more sense to stay home). I was actually thinking of going back into the classroom in the next couple of years but I’ll keep that on hold for a bit longer.

Weeks Pregnant: 9 weeks 5 days
Baby is the Size of a: olive
FTM/STM/TTM/etc.: STM
Appointments: ultrasound and first appointment on 1-14
How are you feeling?
Pretty nauseous. I have had a hard time keeping much down. Other than that I’m tired but that’s nothing new lol.
Rants/raves? I’m so hopeful that this will be our rainbow. Just taking things one day at a time.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? What is your career/job now (yes, SAH is a job)?
I always wanted to be a teacher. I was a preschool and kindergarten teacher for 16 years before stepping down this year to homeschool my DS (7th grade), SS (4th grade), nephew (kindergarten), nephew (2nd grade) and nephew (2 years old). I’m a SAHM now which I never thought I would be but I’m embracing it. I love the time with the kids and my SIL has been so happy that I’m here to provide childcare/schooling.

Weeks pregnant? 10+3
Baby is the size of a: strawberry
FTM/STM/TTM, etc: gestational surrogate, 2 previous pregnancies
Appointments: right now with OB. They always take forever to call people back so I’m just waiting right now.
How are you feeling? Yesterday was my last day of all the IVF meds 🎊 and I’m maybe feeling a little less nausea overall. It seems to be day to day though. Still exhausted. Hoping I’ll turn the corner soon.
Rants/raves? We got about 5 inches of snow that fell NYE night so we woke up to a white New Year’s Day. It was beautiful and we made an epic snowman. We get very little snow typically (mainly just cold and rain or ice) so it was so nice!
GTKY? I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was really little and then a lawyer. I’m a social worker working with elderly veterans and I really like the work I do. Plus with social work you can do a variety of things and I like having options.

Appointment went great. Baby is measuring perfect. I have all my appointments scheduled for July. I’ll start with high risk doctor around 15 weeks. She expects I’ll have to be induced around 38-39 weeks.

Oh! We finally got our SneakPeek! We’re having a girl ❤️ Yay! Just be careful- depending on the company, I have seen these be wrong for people. I don't know how, but apparently people have had those not match with their NIPT, and they find out later on they are having the opposite sex. Speaking of, I speak (via Zoom) with the genetic counselor Monday and then I assume I will have my NIPT draw sometime next week, after that call? |

Speaking of, I speak (via Zoom) with the genetic counselor Monday and then I assume I will have my NIPT draw sometime next week, after that call? oh yes definitely. I know there is a margin of error. Most of what I’ve found it false boy results from contamination. We’re going to verify it by ultrasound, too. My doctor moved my NIPT to 15 weeks for some reason? She said that’s standard now? Although in March they said to do it at 10-12? Idk. |

Yeah I know the nuchal translucency scan has to be done within a certain window, but it could be that the NIPT doesn't need to be. I think I read really any time after 10-11 weeks. I am sure the genetic counselor will answer these questions for me. I just want to know things! lol. |
