1. How far along are you? Week/Fruit?
5w4d apple seed

2. How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
My all day sickness hit last night. I'm happy to have symptoms beside always being hungry.

Emotionally today is a great day. I was down yesterday so I called the nurse and decided another Beta. It was 23,907!! So with finally feeling sick and my another beta I feel like this LO might be sticking around.

3. Other updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparation, etc.?
See above

4. Upcoming milestones or appointments?
First Apt March 6th

5. Do you need T&P's for anything?
Nothing right now

QOTW-Have you started having any cravings? Are they similar or different to previous pregnancies? I've been eating a ton of cheese. I feel like I am low on protein and my body is trying to fix it.

1. How far along are you? Week/Fruit? 27w6d

2. How are you feeling physically and emotionally? I feel a little better emotionally this week. Still working through the depression. And now we have a stomach virus going through our house so that's miserable. DD had it two days ago and I was up puking last night.

3. Other updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparation, etc.?

4. Upcoming milestones or appointments? Third tri tomorrow. So wild. GTT on Monday.

5. Do you need T&P's for anything? That the rest of my family stays healthy and doesn't get this nasty sickness.

QOTW-Have you started having any cravings? Are they similar or different to previous pregnancies? I haven't had many cravings this time around. With my first, I craved fast food burgers, blech. With my second, it was salads. I have eaten a lot of gummy bears this time if those count!

1. How far along are you? Week/Fruit? 11 weeks, 6 days

2. How are you feeling physically and emotionally?I feel exhausted and dehydrated all the time. I don't feel that many symptoms and that makes me anxious. With Anne, I was hungry all the time and was having cravings and things that I couldn't eat. It hasn't been that way this time.  I still feel detached a lot.  There are time when I completely forget that I'm even pregnant.  When I was pregnant with Anne, I was crazy about what and when I ate.  I walked around with a water bottle in the hand all the time.  I never forgot my Thyroid meds or my prenatal.  I'm just not that focused with time.  Maybe once I start feeling movement, it will change.

3. Other updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparation, etc.? We haven't done very much preparing yet. We have started to think of girl names. We are going to be Team Green again this time. We have a boys name left over from Anne so we just have to choose another girl name.

4. Upcoming milestones or appointments? We had our first appointment with our new midwife on Tuesday. I think I'm really going to like her. She told us that she is a multiple loss mom with 3 losses and now has 6 kids. She seems to understand my anxieties, which I like. It was basically the history appointment. We got to hear the heartbeat on the Doppler and she was very happy with the heart rate. She wants to schedule an ultrasound just to get a good dating of the pregnancy. We were supposed to have that yesterday but because of the weather it was canceled. Now we have to reschedule.

5. Do you need T&P's for anything?It's not pregnancy related, but DH needs to find a new job. We are making ends meet with his current job but he works so much overtime. He is barely ever home. I wish he had a job with more normal, non retail, hours.  He is looking for a new job but he is having trouble finding something.

QOTW-Have you started having any cravings? Are they similar or different to previous pregnancies?

This pregnancy is completely different than any of the others. With the first, just the smell of broccoli made me gag. With Anne, I couldn't eat eggs or ketchup without getting nauseous and I was always craving hamburger and potatoes. With this one, I haven't really found anything that can't or don't want to eat and I don't feel hungry all the time.

Just wondering if we are still doing this check-in?

[honeylemon]

Maggie0424, I think the last one was posted in February, but I know there are plenty of us here who are currently pregnant.

cgmb, are you still interested in running the check in?
