How far along are you? 5w1d
What is baby's size? a BB pellet
Any appointments this week? Nope
How are you feeling? Exhausted and sore boobs. Not nauseous much, which is worrisome because of PgAL brain. I felt like this for our loss and was super sick for our DS, so...my brain is going to bad places.
Anything you want to vent about? PgAL brain can suck it. Oh, and first tri too. I hate hate hate the first tri. Way too much too much to worry about without any reassurances. 5 more weeks til my first u/s. Basically forever.

GTKY: Besides getting a BFP, what was a highlight of your year for 2016? Watching DS develop such a personality and learn so much new stuff (he's 17 months now). He's the best part of every day.

I just read that a pregnant woman's body is working harder than a woman when she is jogging. It reccommends 10 hrs of sleep (8 hrs overnight and a 2 hr nap). It's not uncommon to sleep for 12 hrs and still wake up fatigued. DH was super happy that I had evidence to back up my sleeping all day bahaha

What is baby's size? Blueberry
Any appointments this week? U/s on Thursday!!
How are you feeling? So fucking tired. But that's mostly bc this is my fourth shift in a row. In four days I'll have worked 44+ Hours so I'm Just wiped.
Anything you want to vent about? Eh I'm ok.

GTKY: Besides getting a BFP, what was a highlight of your year for 2016? Honestly this was the worst year of my life with our loss. I don't believe in this bfp until the ultrasound shows a normal looking baby. I guess the only plus this year has given me is it has shown me just how amazing my DH truly is and how much stronger our relationship has gotten after everything we went through. I know after how we got through our loss we can get through anything else life throws at us and come out stronger together. But he is my rock and I'm the luckiest person in the world for having him love me.

Anything you want to vent about? Keeping this a secret through the holidays is stressful.

What is baby's size? the size of a nerd
Any appointments this week? Nope. Not until Jan 30th. basically forever.

Anything you want to vent about? Because of the holidays and other circumstances I feel like a lot of people know very early this time around. I wanted to wait until our first appointment to tell anyone.

GTKY: I'm going to piggy back on what others have said. DS turned 1 this year. It is so much fun to watch him grow and change.

[maddisonrose]

Late poster!

How far along are you? 8weeks 3 days

What is baby's size? A raspberry

Any appointments this week? Nope still waiting for our first u/s next tuesday

How are you feeling? Slightly back to life since taking diclectin but over all just blah with zero energy to do anything

Anything you want to vent about? Just struggling to cope with first trimester shiftiness and parenting a toddler. I feel like I'm failing him or not being the best mom but I've just been so sick and barely been able to get off the couch. I know I'm being way too harsh and this time will pass, just hope it passes quickly.

GTKY: definitely agree with everyone else, seeing DS grow and learn so much over this past year has been amazing. I feel so lucky to experience it all

[jt2378]

maddisonrose, I have so many of the same feelings, you are not alone! I feel guilty because I'm not able to do as much with DD and just want to curl up in a ball. Big hugs, I hope the blahs go away soon for you

[yoshijo28]

We had our 1st ob apt. Baby measured 9w, everything looked good. I'm super anxious snd the Dr calmed me down and was awsome. He joked it would be counter productive for him to reccommend anything harmful since he's in the business of delivering (hopefully) healthy babies.

He have me 3 pieces of advice
1) don't Google. If anything, read a book written by an MD
2) don't listen to other people. People have 1 baby and think they are experts and your pregnancy should go exactly like theirs
3) stop focusing on the baby. Nothing I do will affect whatever is going to happen. This is our last few months of alone time and when we have sleepless nights we should remember the good memories we can make in the next few months
