2. How big is baby? my app says toy soldier

3. Symptom check: Exhaustion comes and goes. I'm still fighting nausea most evenings, and my boobs are sore a lot, though seem to be getting a little better. Ummm, either than that, RPL, weird dreams, and cravings lol



4. What and when is your next appointment? High risk doctor appointment next Monday



5. Anything you’d like to share? I think I shared this before, but I'm officially out to my boss. I have an official ultrasound scheduled for next Friday, so besides the two coworkers who know (one who I've known through 2 previous jobs, and one I feel really close to), the rest of them will know after that. I don't want to put everything out there and have to take it back. Been there, done that, hate the pity =/



6. QOTW:
What is your personality type:
INFP
Mediator
Mediator personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, Mediators have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine. Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the Mediator personality type – but when they find like-minded people to spend their time with, the harmony they feel will be a fountain of joy and inspiration.

[fancynewbeesly]

June 16th/10 weeks, 1 day

not sure yet

really tired, weird dreams, nausea when I shower!!!! (like WTF), cravings (especially fruit and dairy)

4. What and when is your next appointment?
12 week NT on December 5. Also my NIPT bloodwork that day.

5. Anything you’d like to share?
My daughter (6.5) is really hoping for a boy baby. Her reasoning that she only knows "boy babies" and has no clue what girl babies do. Ummm, pretty much the same thing. Except maybe not pee on you. DH thinks it is a girl. I think it is a boy and DD wants a brother. I just really, really love our boys name and would love to use it.
6. QOTW:
What is your personality type:
ADVOCATE-INFJ-T

[adeline]

1. EDD/How far are you now? 14 weeks + 6 days
2. How big is baby? A tomato
3. Symptom check: mostly done with nausea, just need to snack often. Such sore boobs and some rlp and loose hips. Energy is right back happily.
4. What and when is your next appointment? 4 December, just a check up with my OB. Anatomy scan is 21 December.
5. Anything you’d like to share? I’m starting to get a bit stressed about money. Building a house and paying rent at the same time sucks. Looking forward to moving in so I can unpack all my things from DD and my niece and decide what I have and what I need to buy. Trying not to buy anything until after Christmas now.
6. QOTW: What is your personality type: Consul
People who share the Consul personality type are, for lack of a better word, popular – which makes sense, given that it is also a very common personality type, making up twelve percent of the population. In high school, Consuls are the cheerleaders and the quarterbacks, setting the tone, taking the spotlight and leading their teams forward to victory and fame. Later in life, Consuls continue to enjoy supporting their friends and loved ones, organizing social gatherings and doing their best to make sure everyone is happy.

Some of the description that follows seems right but I’m definitely not afraid of conflict. I’m a litigator. I used to be far more social, hoping to get back into it after pregnancy and living in my own house again.

[adeline]

larzhope I’m sorry to hear that. Is your puppy getting old, or just got sick?

[lily]

larzhope hoping for a full recovery for your pup.

jessila for some reason troll doll made me giggle. That’s a great mental image.

[budders]

1. EDD/How far are you now?
5/4, 16w 3d

2. How big is baby?
Dill pickle

3. Symptom check:
RLP, achy hips, and beginning symptoms of carpal tunnel.

4. What and when is your next appointment?
16 week check-in on Wednesday. Excited to schedule the A/S!

5. Anything you’d like to share?
I’ve suffered with insomnia my whole life and it’s reared its ugly head again. I’m not sleeping enough it very well, so going to ask about what I can do.

6. QOTW:
What is your personality type:
Consul (ESFJ). Some of it rings true (leadership, sensitive, caring and loyal to family and friends), but other parts don’t (popular, interested in fashion/gossip, mostly extroverted).

[adeline]

budders Consul twins! It makes me laugh actually cause when you comment on anything I’m like ‘Yes! This!’

she is 9, so definitely not a spring chicken but we definitely thought we'd have several more years with her. they can't figure out what the root cause is

[Madymoiselle]

1. EDD/How far are you now? 11w4d

2. How big is baby? Brussel Sprout

3. Symptom check: Feeling much better nausea wise, but still exhausted and dizzy, actually fainted on Friday and was close to it yesterday while grocery shopping 😒

4. What and when is your next appointment? Dec 16 I think, but should get the genetic testing results sometimes next week snd find out the gender at the same time 🙂 We will also do a private ultrasound the second WE of Dec to have something to show our family/friends when we go back home since no NT scan this time.

5. Anything you’d like to share?
Can’t wait to receive good news about the genetic testing, I have been having bad dreams about it for a week. Plus I want to just tell work and not have people stare at my stomach with ? ? ? over their heads.


6. QOTW:
ENFJ PERSONALITY (“THE PROTAGONIST”)
ENFJs are natural-born leaders, full of passion and charisma. Forming around two percent of the population, they are oftentimes our politicians, our coaches and our teachers, reaching out and inspiring others to achieve and to do good in the world. With a natural confidence that begets influence, ENFJs take a great deal of pride and joy in guiding others to work together to improve themselves and their community.

Lol, that’s kind of true. I do hope I am bossy in a good way though 😝

[Madymoiselle]

Sorry about your pup larzhope 😞 I hope they find what’s wrong fast.

[numbears]

1. EDD/How far are you now?
5/8, 16 weeks

2. How big is baby?
The size of a dill pickle!

3. Symptom check:
Just RLP and sore boobs.


4. What and when is your next appointment?
My next appointment is this afternoon. Just a regular check up. My doctor offers ultrasounds at 16 weeks to find out the sex, so it's pretty cool we are at that point already. We are still Team Green, though.


5. Anything you’d like to share?
Nothing exciting going on. Just getting through work to get to Thanksgiving.


6. QOTW:
What is your personality type:
DEFENDER PERSONALITY (ISFJ, -A/-T)
The Defender personality type is quite unique, as many of their qualities defy the definition of their individual traits. Though sensitive, Defenders have excellent analytical abilities; though reserved, they have well-developed people skills and robust social relationships; and though they are generally a conservative type, Defenders are often receptive to change and new ideas. As with so many things, people with the Defender personality type are more than the sum of their parts, and it is the way they use these strengths that defines who they are.

1. EDD/How far are you now?
5/5; 16+3

2. How big is baby?
A can of soda.

3. Symptom check:
Still nauseous a lot, but actual vomiting has gotten better; RLP; super sore hips/back if I don't sleep with a pillow between my knees.

4. What and when is your next appointment?
Two weeks from tomorrow; anatomy scan in the AM with the MFM and then regular OB in the afternoon.

6. QOTW:

[bebbysue]

1. EDD/How far are you now? June 20, 9+6

2. How big is baby? 10 weeks is strawberry per my app

3. Symptom check: Nausea is better during the day (thank you Diclegis) but the evenings are still pretty awful for me. Other than that, just sore boobs and exhaustion.

4. What and when is your next appointment? Just a normal check up on December 20, I'll be 14 weeks then. Contemplating paying for another US before then, just because I would like to see the baby and just check in prior to the AS. Last time I had one at 11 weeks, because we couldn't find the HB on the doppler but I'm sure they will at 14 weeks, which means no US.

5. Anything you’d like to share? I told my boss yesterday and she was super excited for me. I'm glad to be out to her. Still not quite ready to announce to everyone else yet though.

6. QOTW:
What is your personality type: DEFENDER. The description was me to a T. So crazy how that happens.

[daisy818]

1. EDD/How far are you now? June 25; 9+1

2. How big is baby? Size of a Teddy Graham

3. Symptom check: Tired, acne, boobs hurt badly when I'm cold, back pain

4. What and when is your next appointment? December 18 for a check up, December 1 to get the NIPT blood draw

5. Anything you’d like to share? First OB appointment was yesterday - had an ultrasound and there's a great little wiggly baby in there! Everything was looking good, nice strong heartbeat. Other than being AMA, I don't have any major risk factors, so I'm just back to being a normal patient. I had gotten kind of used to lots of tests with the RE so this is weird!

6. QOTW: What is your personality type:
ESTJ-A (The Executive)

[tinydancer]

larzhope, I'm so sorry about your pup.

[tinydancer]

1. EDD/How far are you now? 11w6d

2. How big is baby? lime

3. Symptom check: energy is back up, still no appetite, I've also been having that let down feeling that some people have mentioned. My toddler is in the process of weaning, so I think that's contributing.

4. What and when is your next appointment? had a check in with the OB yesterday and heard a nice heartbeat. Meeting with the MFM and genetic counselor next Monday, 11/27

5. Anything you’d like to share? yesterday MH suggested being team green this time around. Last time we found out and I just assumed we would this time too. It kind of threw me for a loop.

6. QOTW: ENFJ - I've been solidly this type for quite some time and I like to think it's a good description of me.
