Weekly Check-In/Ticker Change - May 23 - May 29

[sheepish]

How far along are you? 11w

What is your baby the size of? a brussel sprout or a doughnut hole

How are you feeling?/Appointments? Meh. Tired of nausea for at least part of every day. I'm hoping it will go away soon as I am nearing the end of first tri, but I realize that with the HG diagnosis, it might last much longer . . . I've got an appointment tomorrow, but it is not an ultrasound appointment (boo!).

Anything you care to share with the class? (Rants/Raves) I've been running around like crazy all week trying to get everything ready for going out of town - we are leaving Saturday to visit family for 5 days, and then I leave next Thursday and will be out of the country for 6 weeks for work. I'm going to miss DH and the puppy!

GTKY: What do you love the most about being pregnant? What sucks the worst? I love when it randomly hits me - "hey, there's a baby growing in there!" and looking forward to getting things ready for baby (nursery, etc.) and then baby actually being here. I definitely do not like the nausea.

How far along are you? 11w1d

What is your baby the size of? Profiterole, lime, brussels sprout or donut hole

How are you feeling?/Appointments? Feeling good for the most part, but I have to be super careful to eat regularly or I feel terrible. Traveling this week made this a big challenge, and I paid for it by almost passing out in the airport.

I had an appointment on Tuesday, and she had a really hard time finding the heartbeat on the doppler, which was giving me major anxiety. She found it and was able to count it, but I still couldn't hear it. Thankfully, she took the time to find it loud and clear for me. I have another appointment next Thursday for the NT screen. Has anyone had theirs yet? If so, did they tell you the measurement during the appointment, or did you have to wait for full results?

Anything you care to share with the class? (Rants/Raves) Always tired. I hope that gets a little better here in a few weeks.

GTKY: What do you love the most about being pregnant? What sucks the worst? The extreme fatigue and nausea suck the worst. So far, I'm loving being able to tell people and not keep it a secret anymore.

How far along are you? 10w1d

What is your baby the size of? A lego man

How are you feeling?/Appointments? Feeling okay-ish since diclegis changed my life. Still some rough days, but overall it's WAY better. My first u/s was today, and went great!! Next appt is June 15, and anatomy u/s scheduled for Aug 5.

Anything you care to share with the class? (Rants/Raves) nausea can suck it.

GTKY: What do you love the most about being pregnant? What sucks the worst? The nausea/vomiting is THE WORST. Everything else I can take, but that's just obnoxious. What I love about being pregnant comes during next trimester, with the moving and kicking. I also like the fact that since my department now knows (and we are mostly a bunch of women ages 30-37ish, so it's fun!) I can talk about it. They came running over after I got back from my u/s and begged to see the pictures, so it's really nice having others excited for us too.
