Everybody Check-In! 8/8 - 8/14

[mosdub]

We had a PGAL/PAIF check in but I want to see how everyone else is doing and no one started a new general check in for this week!  Decided to go a little weird for the GTKY



EDD:


Weeks/Baby's Size:


Appointment plans/results:


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)


Any U/S, bump pics:


Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go?  

[jnnfrrose6]

EDD: TBD, currently 4/4, but RCS will move us up to March.

Weeks/baby size: 6? and no idea

Appt plans: dating ultrasound 8/22, blood work 9/8

How ya feeling: M/S hit yesterday, but I'm feeling good (so far) today. No real cravings and just some aversions depending on how M/S is hitting.

Pics: none yet

Bonus: I'd probably be caught pretty quickly.

[jillywilly]

EDD: I have no clue


Weeks/Baby's Size: I wish I knew. Baby was measuring around six weeks on Monday, though.


Appointment plans/results: Still in ultrasound hell. Next one is Monday, and I'm crossing literally everything I can possibly cross on my body that we FINALLY get some good reassurance from our OB on the health of this pregnancy. Also, it'd be nice to have an actual EDD, since the one from my LMP is clearly off by probably a couple weeks.


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I'm feeling super nauseated, which sucks, but is keeping me hopeful for the future of the little nugget.


Any U/S, bump pics: Not this week. I have u/s in my car, but am too lazy to go get it. Imagine a small blob sitting in a gestational sac in my uterus


Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go? I would go to a corner, cry, and then probably die pretty quickly.

[glb30]

EDD: 3/24

Weeks/Baby Size: 7w5d, blueberry!

Appt Plans: I *think* I am being released from my RE today. I have an appointment with my old OB on Monday, and then an appointment with a new OB on 8/25. After that, we'll decide who to go with.

How ya feeling: Exhausted, but otherwise okay as long as I eat often and stay hydrated.

Pics: I'd share the one from yesterday but under the baby the tech wrote "Baby (last name)" so I won't be posting!

QOTW: I'd lock the doors and hope for the best.

[moutonrouge]

EDD: 3/7

Weeks/Baby's Size: 10w2d, Ferrero Rocher

Appointment plans/results: 2nd midwife appt is 8/31, but I'll have an NT scan before that if I ever manage to call and schedule it

How ya feeling: Not great. Still have a cold, still have most of my symptoms including nausea and the tired, plus I'm starting to get "mushy brain" as my family calls it. Sometimes I'm sharp but other times it's like duhhhhhhh.

Any U/S, bump pics: Nope - but I did try out a bella band on vacay with shorts. Not bad - shorts the next size up would probably have required less adjusting, though.

Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go? I would try to get to my parent's house - it's about 2 hours north. They live in a rural area, have guns and a generator and a garden and a well, and my stepmom stockpiles food like nobody's business. If I couldn't get there, I'd try to stockpile food at my house and keep my dog and the baseball bat handy in the basement. Guns are illegal in my city, so it would be hard to get a weapon even if I looted people's houses. Oh, and I'd probably wish I had glasses instead of contacts.

[sarahh]

EDD: 3/29

Weeks/Baby's Size: 7+1 Raspberry


Appointment plans/results: Next appt is 8/26


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I'm feeling okay pregnancy wise but have a cold that is kicking my ass. I had a dream last night that they didn't numb me for my C-section and the baby came out the same size as DD with the same number of teeth. But I got up and was walking around and doing stuff within 5 minutes of delivery. Weird.

Any U/S, bump pics: Nope

Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go? DH already has all this planned out. He was a sniper in the Army so I think this would be oddly exciting for him. Plus we watch TWD so zombies don't really terrify me as much as they should.

[elissamarie]

EDD: 3/1


Weeks/Baby's Size: 11w2d / Lime


Appointment plans/results: I don't have anything coming up until 8/22.


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) My nausea has mostly subsided, but I don't have much of an appetite. I don't have any particular cravings this week either. Just kind of feeling blah.


Any U/S, bump pics: nothing right now. My bump is mostly bloat


Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go? I'd get a boat and go to an island and hope for the best.

[caer]

EDD: 3/31

Weeks/Baby's Size: 6w6d

Appointment plans/results: my ultrasound last week went well. I have another one on Tuesday.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
I'm really sick. I started meds a few days ago and hope they kick in soon.

Any U/S, bump pics: I have one but it's not very interesting! Just a grey blob.

Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go?
I'd get on a cruise ship and try to stay there as long as possible.

[ladytiffany24]

EDD: 3/30


Weeks/Baby's Size: 7 weeks exactly!/raspberry


Appointment plans/results: Nothing else until 9/12. Waaaay too far away!


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
Mostly, just tired and crappy. The worst of the nausea is hitting during the evenings which I hate because it takes away from time with DD. Bloating is still hardcore. Boobs are sore. And I'm moody as fuck.


Any U/S, bump pics: I'll spare you my blump. I posted my U/S pic from Monday's appt in the first appt thread.


Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go?
I have no idea. Maybe try to find a boat and get to an island somewhere and hope I lasted a while. lol

[meggypoo1]

EDD: 3/28

Weeks/Baby's Size: 7w2d. Brookesia micra chameleon / raspberry

Appointment plans/results: first appointment on Saturday! Finally!

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice): tired, hungry. Other than that - fine

Any U/S, bump pics: nope

Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go? Umm, I have no idea! Good question!

[callmeKD]

EDD: 3/4/17 but my OB said she won't let me go past mid-Feb.


Weeks/Baby's Size: 10w/5d - kumquat


Appointment plans/results: Had my 1st OB appt this morning. Can I tell you how much I love my OB? she makes me so happy. She told me that I need to gain at least 40 lbs. she couldn't find the HBs on the doppler so we did a quick U/S and both babies look good. I'm being referred to the MFM to discuss genetic counseling, etc. At my next OB appt, they will test my blood sugar. My BP was a little high today so I need to start walking every day.


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Feeling better after my appointment.


Any U/S, bump pics: I have a bump. But I haven't taken any pics.


Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go? My H has a plan in place for this. So I'll be following his lead.

[Deleted]

EDD: 3/8/17


Weeks/Baby's Size: 10w1d


Appointment plans/results: I have another appointment/ultrasound next Thursday.


How ya feeling: I'm starting to feel a bit better overall, but I am still having some rough days and nights. I'm loving bagels, and Indian food.


Any U/S, bump pics: not yet....should be soon though.


Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go?

We'd load up and go to my dads. It's way in the country and he has a garden and game/farm animals that we know how to butcher. We'd just lay low and keep away from people.

[Quinstar]

EDD: March 7th

Weeks/Baby's Size: 10+2 kumquat

Appointment plans/results: Aug 23 is my check up and my screening appt. They gave me the option of doing the screening, I'm not high risk, but my insurance covers it. She said about 50% of her patients who aren't high risk still do it. So we're going to do it I guess. It's a Sequential Screening and a fetal DNA test by Verifi.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Just general blah right now. Still can't poop, or fart on good days. The ghost of nausea still haunts me a little but it's mostly gone. Constantly thirsty and some headaches.

Any U/S, bump pics: Nope

Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go? We're pretty far and away from masses of people. We'd probably have to move south eventually, to get away from the interstate. But we're pretty well stocked up, guns, generators and food storage. We also have horses to pack, and lots of camping gear.

[amacbaby]

Weeks/Baby's Size: 7w6d Kidney Bean


Appointment plans/results:


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) More nausea and heartburn today. I am so tired. I am really hoping I perk up in 2nd tri. Counting down until my appt and next ultrasound next week.


Any U/S, bump pics: None today, plus I suck at adding pictures


Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go? I would go back home to the NW and camp out in the mountains.

[mosdub]

EDD: 3/30

Weeks/Baby's Size: 7 weeks! The size of a die, or a small raspberry.

Appointment plans/results: August 22nd, 2nd ultrasound.

How ya feeling: Feeling good! My summer job just wrapped up so now I have a few weeks to focus on school starting. I was going to go thrift shopping for some tops that might hid my blump/bump since most of my tops are fairly form fitting.

Any U/S, bump pics: Newp.

Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go? I think I'd stay north but try to find a cabin on an island. Or, a really slick sailboat/yacht - though I'm not a pro with sailing so that would be an adventure...

[mosdub]

jillywilly Monday can't come soon enough! I hope you finally get a EDD the doctors feel comfortable with, and that you can finally leave this horrible limbo

glb30 glad you're graduating from the RE!

moutonrouge I want to go to your parents' with you

sarahh I love your GTKY answer

caer I'm sorry you're feeling so sick, hope you get some relief from the meds soon.

ladytiffany24 M/S seems to hit me more in the afternoons/evenings too. Hang in there.

meggypoo1 An appointment on a Saturday? Good luck!

corinne I know it seems like everyone has already had an appointment! My past pregnancy I didn't see a doctor until 10 weeks though, which if you don't have any IF or prior losses is fairly standard.

[meggypoo1]

mosdub yup! My OB works every other Saturday! It's lovely! Sucks when we get to weekly appointments but in the meantime it's great! I also know that the place she sent me for an US at 9w with Clara works Saturday's as well because we had to take Clara there for an X-ray when she was sick a while back because they were one of the only places that was open! So I am hoping that if I do have to get a US again we can!

[obi]

EDD: 3/10 based on LMP. Dating u/s says 3/15 but I disagree. If anything I O'd early. Sticking with LMP for now.


Weeks/Baby's Size: 9w6d - southern pecan


Appointment plans/results: I see my GP 8/24. Still waiting for an OB referral and genetics counselling appointment. Next bloodwork is the maternal serum screening (?) in a few weeks.


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice): i feel meh. Still super nauseated but no throwing up yet.


Any U/S, bump pics: posted one in the first appt/ultrasound thread


Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go?
I am type 1 diabetic so I am basically screwed since it is a terminal illness without medical intervention. Only shot I have is raiding pharmacies for insulin.

[cosmicav]

EDD: 02/28/17

Weeks/Baby's Size: 11w2d - size of a poker chip according to Ovia

Appointment plans/results: Next appointment is exactly a week away!

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice): I still feel like crap every day! Though at least I am not barfing all the time anymore? I just want the nausea and aversions to end. School starts on Monday and I am simultaneously excited and sad.

Any U/S, bump pics: I have a kind-of bump, and I have pictures because I document everything. Lol. It's not super significant yet.

Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go? I live in a rural area, and I think that would be an asset to survival, since there wouldn't be as many zombies to escape from/fight. We live near enough to a grocery store that we could probably pilfer from that if we didn't have enough food. Asking the real questions.... lol

[suelou18]

EDD: Was March 12, although my last dating ultrasound put me further along, more like March 7 or 8. Not sure what the doctor will officially choose.


Weeks/Baby's Size: 10 weeks, I hope


Appointment plans/results: No appointments until a week from Monday. I'll have both my intake appointment and then meet with the doctor, combining the first two appointments into one, even though I've been in several times already. This just kicks off the official appointments, I guess.


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
Less exhaustion than before. Still having MS, but drugs have made it more tolerable. I can't wait to start feeling better so I can be a better mom to DD and get excited about this LO.

Any U/S, bump pics:
Nope.

Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go?
I have always said that in a case of a zombie apocalypse, I would just let the zombies get me. I do not want t live in a world where I'd have to worry about zombies trying to get me, so I'd just try to get it over with quick.

[missi]

EDD: March 1st


Weeks/Baby's Size: 2 inches, per ultrasound today


Appointment plans/results: Every two weeks from now to at least 32 weeks according to my MFM. So, today, and then in two weeks. Everything looks great. She gave me the paperwork for a VBAC to go over with the hubby. She also gave me a prescription for the second trimester. She didn't seem hopeful that my nausea would go away

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) .. Feeling? According to my hubby.. blob like. I feel so ugh and urpy most of the time. I haven't puked, but I have wished I would. Often. Good buys Last weekend, Motherhood Maternity had a buy one clearance item, get the second at $5. So I have three dresses and a shirt.

Any U/S, bump pics:


Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go? Mountains, country, get away from large populations

[jnow]

EDD:

3/30

Weeks/Baby's Size:

7. Not sure? (Second baby syndrome)

Appointment plans/results:

First appt scheduled for a week from tomorrow.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)

So nauseous and tired. I REALLY am trying to eat well but it's proving difficult. I'm getting annoyed.

Any U/S, bump pics:

No

Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go?

I would probably be one of the first eaten/killed/whatever. I can't imagine I would do well in this situation.

[daisylola11]

EDD: March 6th (according to last u/s)

Weeks/Baby's Size: 10+3 (Lego man)

Appointment plans/results: 2nd appt is Monday! And I'm so happy my sil is able to take my toddler, I was told it's a long one and an ultrasound. So exited, I'll be 11 weeks.

How ya feeling: less nausea but definitely have to keep eating all day long. Currently have a cold, literally overnight, sucks.


Any U/S, bump pics: no bump pics yet id give it another 2 weeks. U/s from first u/s at 9 weeks.



Bonus GTKY:
Same boat with a few other posters, H has prepared and has a plan lol we also watch the WD and I swear that motivated him to get some emergency things ready. But we will head for the mountains too, got a real map and all in case gps doesn't work

[mikaela20]

EDD: I think March 6 now? I don't know. I'll see what the OB says.

Weeks/Baby's Size: kumquat

Appointment plans/results: Aug 25! Hurry up Aug!

How ya feeling: nausea is almost gone and I'm eating normally again. Exhausted all the time though.

Any U/S, bump pics: not yet. My H says I'm starting to show. I don't know how to feel about that comment.

Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go? I would drive 2 hours to my mom's house and hope they stay close to city centres.

[kaits8]

EDD: 3/31


Weeks/Baby's Size: 7 weeks today! / raspberry


Appointment plans/results: next appt not until 9/6, I think. Then NT scan the following week.


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Feeling generally OK, just blah/general nausea. I started throwing up daily at exactly 7w with DD, so I'm hopeful that not feeling like that yet is a possible sign I'll avoid it this time (I know, I'm jinxing myself).


Any U/S, bump pics: I have my u/s pic from earlier this week, but I just don't have the energy to figure out how to post it. And he/she is just a blur..so it may wait until the 12w u/s.


Bonus GTKY: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what would you do and where would you go? Call DH and let him handle it. He has the guns and better training and all that fancy stuff. I'd be in charge of the animals and children.

[kaits8]

@justinslovo, I just totally read your GTKY exactly how, in my own head, I'd so go from, "oooo, zombies, oooo" to fast spiral down to, "omg we're all going to die".

missi I just cried seeing your u/s picture. It actually looks like a baby! This is really happening. Holy shit.

This weekend was crazy, so I missed this.  It IS!  I wouldn't wish my last pregnancy on anyone, but I love that I get these pictures every two weeks because the twins made my life so rough when they were baking.  ^_~
