Since we have a few more pregnant ladies on this board, maybe we should do a roll call/check-in to see the list and how far along?
EDD:
How far along?
Rants?

Good one! I was thinking of doing this and totally dropped the ball. Well done.

EDD:
3/10/18, from my own assessment
How far along? 8w
Rants?
Puking daily, dealing with two diapered children and M's carsickness. Puke on puke on puke. Strong food cravings and aversions. YES peanut butter, hot sauce, and yogurt. NO smoked foods, meat, or runny eggs. I'm attempting my GD diet, but I admit to sometimes just grabbing what carbs are available so I don't puke. Because protein that isn't meat or eggs is tough. BLECH.
I cried while reading The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton at bedtime last night. I cried after sex (it wasn't that good).
I have been listening to "The Birth Hour" podcast all morning and... crying.
I'm sort of a mess. But... happy.
Edit: And just cried about how delicious this orange mousse I'm eating is.

ovenrack, I feel like you should copy that into babyoven3's baby book. Or pile of things that would go in baby book should he/she have one some day. Cardboard box. Sorry if that made you cry.

I don't go here, but a friend of mine was featured on an episode of The Birth Hour about having a baby in the car. Omg is it the one I just listened to? 3rd baby? On the way to a birth center?! |

Feeling slow and I can't do much around the house without my back hurting. And I'm to the point where my belly constantly itches.

Lurking (and not pregnant), but I just listened to an episode of the Birth Hour and it is totally my jam. I love hearing birth stories of all kinds.
Thanks for the new listening entertainment at work!

EDD: 04/07/2018, but this is just based on when I *think* I ovulated. I'll have a dating ultrasound in a few weeks.
How far along? 4.5 weeks
Rants? Nothing to rant about yet as it's so early! I do think I'm hungrier than usual and craving ice cream.

EDD: 3/22/18
How far along? Almost 7 weeks
Rants? I've been nauseous all day long and the only thing that helps is eating every 5 minutes. I have an aversion to anything green and leafy, which is sad, because salad is so easy.

Hi all, I finally wandered on over here and I want to play too. EDD: 8/23, I'm 37 weeks today. Love to see so many new pregnancies here too!
Rants: This pregnancy has been harder physically than my previous two. My uterus is especially irritable this go around, and even more so as I near the end. No matter how much I do or don't do in a day, I end the day a mess of unproductive but annoyingly painful contractions. Of course, now that I'm 37 weeks I'm going to begin the stupid mind games of - maybe this is It? Nope, this is never It. I don't do It. I'll go to 41 weeks and be induced just like I was two times before. Stupid brain. Stop it. I just want the baby out by September 1st to make the school cut offs.

EDD 1/17/18
How far along: 16 weeks
Rants: I'm caught between being totally thrilled that finally, finally I seem to be over the worst of the morning sickness! I was never as sick in my other two pregnancies and I was beginning to think it would never end. I'm also super excited because I'm starting to feel movement. Sometimes I'm not sure what's gas and what's baby, but every now and then I'm certain that a certain flutter was baby. That's the good stuff. The frustrating stuff is how early all the annoying complainy symptoms have started. Heartburn already, trouble sleeping comfortably, never ending peeing, moving and my muscles rebelling... so many annoying pains so early on. But mostly I'm happy that I don't want to puke all day and night.

Rants? I still randomly throw up. And weight gain. At my last appt the Dr said I should watch weight gain. (gained 16 so far) and I was before, but now I obsess over it. I'm sure that isn't healthy either. So I'm hoping to just be more active and slow the gaining down. I'll see how I did on the 18th.

Hi! I used to be an occasional poster on TCF as jhill but am just making the move here since my BMB moved to Facebook. Anyways, I just found out I'm expecting again so i hope you don't mind if I jump back in.
EDD: 4/11/18 based on my calculations
How far along: 4w3d
Rants: Even though we were trying for another I'm trying to wrap my head around having 5 kiddos. I'm excited but terrified. It's still early and I'm feeling good so I'm working on some freezer meals and small projects around the house before symptoms really kick in. That's about all for now.

I just need to vent.
I've had a bad couple days with both kids acting whiney, sick, and/or truly tantruming 4+ times a day. Missing work because M stayed home from daycare. My aunt and uncle were visiting which was nice - they're great, and helpful - but also provides a ton of distraction and disruption for the kids. Plus, I feel bad because their visit was kinda shitty, what with the aforementioned kid issues.
All I wanted was to rest.
Anyway, today A came home from work early and tried, sorta. He took the kids on a walk into town, but then called me to ask what to do about dinner. I walked to meet them, but once I got there realized how sick I felt. Told A to either buy dinner out (and text me) or come home and I'll make rice and beans.
Went home, didn't get any texts, so started rice and beans.
A and the kids come home and I find out he promised to make them kraft mac & cheese.
We don't have any mac & cheese. A walks to the store to get mac & cheese.
I boil water to prepare, and sit down.
A makes mac & cheese and we all eat. I don't eat much because everything is gross.
A does bathtime for the kids. I do bedtime for one.
A falls asleep in H's room so I do all dinner cleanup and toy pickup.
A wakes up just as I finish all the cleanup, and comes to watch TV.
LAME.
