EDD: 3/8


Weeks/Baby's Size: 12w5d/a plum


Appointment plans/results: next appointment is in a few weeks, when I'm in the second trimester!


How ya feeling: I feel really good. I've started exercising again too so that helps a lot.


Any U/S, bump pics: I'm saving my bump picks for HDBD.


Bonus GTKY: What is your ideal home? I'd love a small cottage type house on a beach. Just out nice home in a place where I could walk to everything.

[moutonrouge]

EDD: 3/7

Weeks/Baby's Size: 12w6d/chicken nugget

Appointment plans/results: NT scan was last week, I have a regular appt with my MW on Wed

How ya feeling: On and off exhaustion and nausea. Some days are great, some days I puke and want to sleep all day. Got some maternity clothes (mostly dresses) from my BFF and ordered a pair of side-panel dress pants today that should arrive this week. So I'm excited about getting to wear all the new things.

Any U/S, bump pics: No bump photos yet - currently it just looks like I ate a lot/am not sucking it in which isn't anything I feel like documenting.

Bonus GTKY: What is your ideal home like? I really like cute little cottages with kind of wild gardens. Probably not practical for family life but maybe when we retire. DH's decorating style is much more modern than mine, but his fits the places we've lived so far so I would like a turn in a house that's more my taste some day.

[daisylola11]

EDD: March 6th

Weeks/Baby's Size: 13w based on due date (baby measured 6 days ahead at u/s) size of small peach

Appointment plans/results: short regular appt with midwife mid sept.

How ya feeling: feeling much better, but I do still forget to constantly eat and then I have moments of feeling shitty. Starting to slowly being coffee back into my life, not even half a cup and I'm wired haha


Any U/S, bump pics: I'll xp latest u/s team pink

Bonus GTKY: What is your ideal home like? One story at least 4 bedroom with lots of living space, w a good size backyard for pool, play area and bbqing, must have mature garden and trees. I've always wanted a house where the neighbors arnt so close, hard to come by around here unless you're way out in the boons.

[amandamh2]

EDD: April 1


Weeks/Baby's Size: 9w2d, olive


Appointment plans/results: Last week got busy and I didn't call the doctor so that's my project for today. No more excuses!


How ya feeling: finally starting to feel better which is a huge relief. Last week was really bad. I'm going to attempt some coffee this morning because I've been missing it.


Any U/S, bump pics: no pics but I feel like I already look about 4 months pregnant despite losing weight with not being able to eat.


Bonus GTKY: Someday when DH gets out of the military he wants to buy some nice farmland and build our own house in the country. The plan is to have a little hobby farm with horses and stuff. My one big request is that we have big windows and a gorgeous deck.

[callmeKD]

EDD: 3/4/17


Weeks/Baby's Size: 13w/2d - scoop of ice cream


Appointment plans/results: no appointments this week. but I am having a prenatal massage on Friday!


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) feeling like crap today. but that's because we had a really busy weekend and I didn't get enough rest.


Any U/S, bump pics: will post on Wed.


Bonus GTKY: What is your ideal home like? we are almost in our ideal home. would love to have a bigger kitchen/breakfast area. and we will still need to finish our basements. but otherwise we are a 5 bed/4 bath house that was built in 1938. love the charm and design of it. and we are right in the city in a great neighborhood.

[Quinstar]

EDD: 3/7

Weeks/Baby's Size: 12+6/Apricot

Appointment plans/results: Sept. 19th is my next check up

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I'm still pretty tired. I'm really hungry this morning, but I haven't been eating much lately. I just don't like pretty much all food.

Any U/S, bump pics: I don't think I really have a bump yet.

Bonus GTKY: What is your ideal home like I love open concept kitchen/dinning/living space. Our house is so compartmentalized. I don't like a lot of clutter, so I'd rather have minimal decor, and lots of storage space. I'd love it if we had a nice big shop and garage, and some big trees + actual yard and not just pasture. All of the big elm trees around here died about 10 years ago, and it's depressing.

[amacbaby]

EDD: 3/23


Weeks/Baby's Size: 10w4d


Appointment plans/results: Next appointment in two weeks! Regular OB with a quick US


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I felt pretty good in the middle of week 9 and thought I was getting better. Nope. Week 10 hit and I am more exhausted then ever and don't feel great.


Any U/S, bump pics: Not today. Still rocking the blump.


Bonus GTKY: What is your ideal home like? A mid-sized in the city or mixed-use neighborhood with lots of parks and schools nearby. Three bedrooms and a small office and living space/kitchen that is big enough to host a decent dinner party/thanksgiving OR a big house in the country with a lot of land.

[erinshelley21]

EDD: 3/21 by lmp, u/s measurements said 3/23 so we'll see.
Weeks/Baby's size: 10w5d
Appt plans/results: appt with OB on Thursday!
How ya feeling: only sick at night, so that's fun. Or when I get too hot. I'm anxious to start getting DS's big boy room ready and my closet purged of clothes that won't fit for a long ass time, but waiting until our next appointment
No pics.
Bonus GTKY: I want my great aunts house. It's on 5 acres, has 2 barns and its an adorable country house. She might be selling soon so this could get interesting.

[cosmicav]

EDD: 02.28.17

Weeks/Baby's Size: 13w6d SECOND TRI HERE I COME

Appointment plans/results: My next appt is Sept 21 and that's when they are gonna start giving me shots and extra monitoring. Even though i know it's for the best, I'm nervous!

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I feel okay on most days if I don't let myself get hungry. But if I get hungry it's a mess.

Any U/S, bump pics: HDBD is coming lol

Bonus GTKY: What is your ideal home like? Relatively spacious and has a corner for me to vegetate in silence. Lol

[moutonrouge]

I know the format of the check-ins is pretty universal on TCF, but since we're doing HDBD and we have a separate appt/ultrasound thread, do we want to add something to our picture options? Maybe nursery things, or baby gear purchases, or etc.? Not saying to get rid of the original optionss but if we want pics we might have to expand it a bit. And I am all for the pics/general AWing.

[obi]

EDD: 3/10/2017


Weeks/Baby's Size: 11w3d/apricot


Appointment plans/results: no appointments this week! Woohoo! I do need to schedule an eye dr visit though.


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) i feel ok aside from the intense pelvic pain. Nausea is all but gone but I am still pretty fatigued. I just want to know if we are expecting a boy or girl so I can get to nursery planning! I am excited to switch DS to his big boy room too.


Any U/S, bump pics: nope.


Bonus GTKY: What is your ideal home like?
4bed 3bath. Large back yard. Lots of living space, an office for my crafting and a finished basement.

[missi]

EDD: March 1st


Weeks/Baby's Size: 13w 5d 3-1/2" I think?


Appointment plans/results: Appointment was last Thursday, everything looks great. We'll start doing transvaginal next time to check my cervix and make sure that it is holding up with only one baby in there. If it is, great! If not.. cerclage here we come


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I think my cold is slowly getting better? Egads I miss Sudaphed >< The nausea starts way late at night now, so that is a serious positive! No idea on energy.. I'm not getting enough sleep anyways

Any U/S, bump pics: From Last Thursday at 13 weeks and 1 day.


Bonus GTKY: What is your ideal home like? I'm torn between one that is more modern, lots of windows, in an area where we could walk or ride our bikes to pretty much everything.. or living out a ways with a large yard, neighbors that are some distance away.. more of a farm house type.

[jnow]

EDD:

3/30

Weeks/Baby's Size:

9/I'm never going to remember

Appointment plans/results:

Intake this Thursday.

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

I want to die.

Any U/S, bump pics:

No

Bonus GTKY: What is your ideal home like?

One on the beach. With a maid and cook.

[callmeKD]

I'm sorry jnow. I felt like I was going to die too. for the most part, I'm better now, but it still lingers.

[missi]

jnow, ~huge non-nausea inducing hug~ You're getting closer and closer to the second trimester. If you are still struggling then, you can try Zofran safely. My doctor gave it to me last pg and told me this time, as they're thinking the medicine might be connecting things with giving it in the first trimester, she wanted me to wait until the second. It is wonderful. You can do this

I love this idea. I just copy and pasted. 😝

Thanks.  I am on diclegis now.  Was your doc concerned about that in the first tri as well?

[suelou18]

EDD: 3/12/2017


Weeks/Baby's Size: 11w1d


Appointment plans/results: Nothing for awhile.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
Still dealing with MS and exhaustion. I sound like a broken record.


Any U/S, bump pics: Nope.


Bonus GTKY: What is your ideal home like?
Is it horrible that I have no idea? Sometimes, I like the look of modern homes, but then also like the look of craftsman style homes. I'd want more living space than we have now and 3 bedrooms all on one floor. Also, a finished basement.

jnow - FWIW, my doctor has me on Zofran and Diclegis, both in the 1st trimester. She gave me the warning spiel about the Zofran, but then also said she's never had any issues with it in all the years she's been practicing medicine.

[ladytiffany24]

EDD: March 30


Weeks/Baby's Size: 9w4d/southern pecan, tater tot


Appointment plans/results: Not until Sept 12th. ugh!


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
Like crap. Random bouts of nausea that typically happen at horrible times. So tired. So freakin tired. And some of the food that I typically love (Chipotle in particular) are not tasting as good as normal. Booooo!


Any U/S, bump pics: Nope.


Bonus GTKY: What is your ideal home like?
The home we live in now is pretty close. We built it and moved in back in July of 2014 right after DD was born. It's a perfect size with an open concept living area and the kind of flooring we like. If I had to do it again, we'd upgrade the carpet probably but it's not a deal breaker. We also just finished an awesome deck earlier in the spring which was one of the last additions we needed to feel great about the house!

I think that is the one you take regularly, not just at onset of symptoms?  If so, that is the one she offered me, but I decided I'd just deal.  I was blob like in the evenings, but I had moments when I felt okay.  I know this one wasn't so bad for me.. because the twins were absolutely horrid to me ><   

suelou18, my husband totally agrees with you.  He thinks it is people connecting things that went wrong with anything that can possibly take the blame.  My twins are fine.  If I'd been as bad with this one, I think I would have taken it in the first trimester.

Once you get to second tri, the Zofran is this little pill you let dissolve on your tongue, if I remember correctly.  I'd fight and fight not to take it.. then I'd take it, and I'd wonder why I was being so stubborn.. because I'd feel like a human again!

[caer]

jnow - are you taking the max dose of Diclegis? I had to take the max dose and wait the full 10 days (maybe even more) to feel somewhat human again. I'm sorry, morning sickness is so tough.

[caer]

EDD: March 30, 2017

Weeks/Baby's Size: 9w4d

Appointment plans/results: I had my first OB appointment today and we're going with March 30 for an EDD. I'm not sure I agree with them but it's close enough so whatever.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
I'm so tired and I still have a lot of nausea, even on the max dose of meds. I'm ready for second tri!

Any U/S, bump pics: not today.

Bonus GTKY: What is your ideal home like?
Someplace near the water. I love a rustic/log cabin look.

I am taking the max. It's been 2 weeks.

I feel like such a whiner.

I'm sorry, that sucks. You're not whining, it's really tough to feel so crappy. Hope you start to feel better soon.

Oh I know - I think we just took this from Feb 17 originally and probably every BMB uses the same format. I just thought I'd see for next week if people felt like making a change. But I know sometimes people like things how they are so I figured I'd ask and see what y'all thought. 

[mosdub]

EDD: 4/1/17

Weeks/Baby's Size: 9w2d, tater tot/cherry

Appointment plans/results: Sept 19

How ya feeling: I feel like most of you are reaching the end of nausea and I'm in the middle of the wave. I've been able to manage so far, but last night the dog needed to go out at 1am (SIL gave him too many treats and he ended up with the runs) and I think since I was up in the middle of the night my body REBELLED. I had to lay down on the kitchen floor or else I was going to definitely throw up.

Any U/S, bump pics: Nope!

Bonus GTKY: What is your ideal home like? I really like my house (3 small bedrooms, 1.5 bath) but really wish we had a big garage with an apartment on top. I would love a studio space for projects as well as a separate space for visitors to stay.

[mosdub]

ladytiffany24 As usual, I feel like your post is exactly me right now, hope you find other foods delicious during this weird pregnancy time! Apple sauce has been my JAM this week.

[mosdub]

jnow I'm sorry you're feeling so miserable I hope you get relief soon.

[ladytiffany24]

mosdub mmmm applesauce! I think I could get down with that. Gonna have to try that.
