Weeks Pregnant: 14
Baby is the Size of a: navel orange
FTM/STM/TTM/etc.: STM
Appointments: next appointment is on 3/2
Anatomy scan is on 3/29
How are you feeling? I’m finally feeling much better! The last two days have me feeling much more like myself. I’m eating a little and generally happy to be pregnant and not miserable.
Rants/raves? I’m waiting on my NIPT results and I’m so impatient. They’re still processing and now aren’t expected until Tuesday. I just want to know that everything is ok.
GTKY: any plans for Valentine’s Day? We usually just make something festive at home. I start with heart French toast for brunch and then usually steaks and chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. I’ve got little treats for DS and SS and a nice card for DH. This was the first holiday I had to navigate with DS after his dad passed so we always do something on Valentine’s Day.

Weeks Pregnant: 15 +1
Baby is the Size of a: avocado
FTM/STM/TTM/etc.: TTM
Appointments: in March but can’t remember exact day lol
How are you feeling? Great!
Rants/raves? I’m still an emotional rollercoaster. But I was cleared for exercise so I’ve been back in the gym. Which has been nice. I go around 5am so it’s always completely empty. Which is awesome.
GTKY: any plans for Valentine’s Day? We’re having a special dinner at home. Super excited for it tbh.

Weeks pregnant: 16+1
Baby is the size of a: avocado
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: gestational surrogate
Appointments: my appointment on the 15th got moved to the 17th due to a winter storm
How are you feeling: good! DD (18 mo) is still killing us with sleep so I’m always tired but that’s more from her than anything at this point.
Rants/raves: like almost everywhere else it’s been SO COLD here and we won’t climb above freezing for another week. Being cooped up for so long takes a toll on my mental health. I’ll be glad to get back outside.
GTKY: we have a major winter storm with lots of snow forecast for Valentine’s Day into Monday.. not that we would have gone out anyway due to covid but now we are moving out take out plans to tonight instead. Maybe we’ll do something bigger next year. I do have plans to bake a chocolate cake and chocolate covered strawberries.

One thing I am still struggling with symptom-wise is constipation. I’m taking colace daily, trying to up my water intake, eating blueberries and apples and other high fiber foods. Any other tried and true suggestions? I’ll talk to OB about it this week as well.

Weeks Pregnant: 13
Baby is the Size of a: Pokémon card
FTM/STM/TTM/etc.: STM
Appointments: in March- the second week I think.
How are you feeling? Starting to get back to feeling normal. Not 100% but better none the less.
Rants/raves? We finally told DD last night and she is insisting that she doesn’t want a sibling, and keeps telling us “No thank you”. We told all our family and close friends today. I’m glad to have this secret out. Everyone is so excited and can’t wait.
GTKY: any plans for Valentine’s Day? Not much, I got DD a little gift and then a little candy for H and I. We are just going to hang out at home and not have to do anything.

Well, I had a rough morning and cried kind of hard and started bleeding. Still brown, so within what my doctor says is safe. But it’s really starting to seem that I’m going to have to dramatically control my stress this pregnancy.

Weeks Pregnant: 12
Baby is the Size of a: plum
FTM/STM/TTM/etc.: 4TM
Appointments: 2/22 for NT scan
How are you feeling? Okay. I feel pretty big already though and can’t hide my tummy anymore. I’m not sure when I’m going to tell work yet but I’m working at home right now so it’s not like anyone would know. I keep saying I’m going to wait until the next appointment then don’t do it.
Rants/raves? Wish my anxiety would go away already. I thought having low risk NIPT results would help but it hasn’t.
GTKY: any plans for Valentine’s Day?
We went to Asheville for the weekend with our kids. Luckily we did because there was a big ice storm in our town and a lot of trees were down and people without power. We had fun in the mountains. Mostly we walked around downtown, got takeout from various restaurants and took the kids swimming at the hotel. We also got cupcakes for the girls that were filled with the gender colored frosting. They were all excited (except for the 15 month old who doesn’t understand) that it’s another girl. My 5 year old told me she kept saying she thought it was a boy to make daddy feel better but always knew it was a girl 😂

My NIPT results came back today. Low risk and it’s a boy for us! That’ll make three boys here with DS, SS and this new baby. Our boys will be so excited!

I am so late this week! Just in time for the next check-in, almost. LOL.
Weeks Pregnant: 16.5
Baby is the Size of a: pickle
FTM/STM/TTM/etc.: TTM
Appointments: Next week is my anatomy scan, 2/25. My babies are notorious for making me return a second time because they don't budge to get all the angles, so I may have another appointment after that, hah. 20 week appt is March 11.
How are you feeling? Better! My nausea has mostly subsided, although the acid reflux (which was bad for my previous two pregnancies as well) has flared up. I am asking if I can take prilosec in addition to reglan, IF I need the reglan. I successfully went without it Sunday, and only had to take one dose Monday when I got nauseous around lunch time. It just makes me SO drowsy and useless, it's hard to take on work days especially. But I was able to work out both Sunday and Monday, and it made me feel sort of like myself again momentarily!
Rants/raves? See above re: working out. Also, I had a nice weekend. I got a decent amount accomplished and just spend time with my family. DD2 was cracking me up. She told me, "sometimes I don't hit you because der's a baby in der." Thanks?! lolol.
GTKY: any plans for Valentine’s Day? H made pancakes for everyone, and also made dinner for us. I got the girls each a new book, a bath bomb, and some gummy bears, so they were happy.

Everything is still perfect. Placenta is in the best possible place, cervix is long and closed, O is measuring 16+4, heart rate is 142. They literally cannot see a single reason Im sporadically bleeding. Which I guess no news is good news? But I wish I could prevent/minimize/know how to determine ok vs not ok.
But thankful all is well.

So glad baby looks perfect onyx. I’m one that likes answers too so I understand wanting to know the why. Really hope it stops happening for you. I’m starting to feel surrobabe move more often thank god. Especially because my OB appointment keeps getting pushed back due to the crazy weather here. It’s reassuring to feel those little flutters now and then. |

I’m in Oklahoma but I’m from TX and all of my family is in TX. We are better off in OK - power issues are as severe but we got word our water may go out soon as the plant in the city is experiencing trouble. Mainly it’s just impacted business closing and roads being bad here. And we are freezing cold for going on 10 days and a foot (!!!) of snow on the ground which is insane for us. onyx. |
