Weekly Check In 9/12

[kinipela7]

EDD: March 21


Weeks/Baby's Size: ~13 weeks


Appointment plans/results: Next appointment October 4th at 16 weeks which seems so far away!


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
Feeling fine and not pregnant most of the time. Back to my regular exercise which makes me feel good! This week is my last week of soccer since I am approaching 2nd tri and I'm feeling very emotional about it.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? My ultrasound pics are super fuzzy and not good quality so I won't share. I won't start the nursery until 20 weeks or after.


Bonus GTKY: Are you planning on going on a babymoon? Where are you going? Where's your dream babymoon destination?
Not a babymoon but my husbands company takes us on a trip each year and this year we are going to Arizona to stay at the Ritz Carlton on some ranch. Super random as they usually take us somewhere better (the Carribbean!) but they wanted to steer clear of Zika. Either way, I'm excited to get away for a few days in Novemeber!

[amacbaby]

EDD: March 23


Weeks/Baby's Size: 12w 4d - plum I think


Appointment plans/results: Two days! I am getting excited and a little nervous


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Starting to feel better (yay!). I am less sensitive to smells and food and my energy is picking up. I am going to start exercising again this week.


Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Hopefully on Wednesday


Bonus GTKY: Are you planning on going on a babymoon? Where are you going? Where's your dream babymoon destination? I wish, between school, studying for boards and a tight budget we probably will not be able to do anything. I am taking a few months off after baby so we might go home to Portland/Seattle sometime.

[jnow]

Weeks/Baby's Size: 11.5


Appointment plans/results: Nothing exciting. Sequential screening next week.


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice): Nausea is getting better, still puking though. My heartburn is out of control. This didn't happen until third tri last time.


Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Maybe one day


Bonus GTKY: Are you planning on going on a babymoon? Where are you going? Where's your dream babymoon destination? Good question. We had 3 out of town weddings this year, so that was fun (but expensive). We went to Italy when I first got pregnant with DD. Maybe we will go to a B&B or something.

[Quinstar]

EDD: 3/7

Weeks/Baby's Size: 14+6

Appointment plans/results: Next monday

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Eh. I keep losing weight because I just hate food. None of it is interesting to me. I don't want sweet, or savory, I want sour. Sour skittles, sweet tarts... Makes getting actual food a issue. I also seem to have to wake up at 4 AM EVERY night and contemplate life so that's fun.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? I wish, but I am stacking everything we get for baby in the corner of my dining room, because his nursery is still in shambles.

Bonus GTKY: Are you planning on going on a babymoon? Where are you going? Where's your dream babymoon destination? Yeah, it's gonna be the 2 weeks in Denver we're going to be spending at my mothers house when I'm too giant to enjoy anything, waiting for the baby.

I don't mean to be bitter about the question. But sometimes farming sucks. Especially this year. We've had absolutely no time whatsoever. Or $

[kristhegirl]

EDD: 3/13

Weeks/Baby's Size: 14/troll doll

Appointment plans/results: nothing now until the anatomy scan Oct 20th.

How ya feeling: I'm feeling great. I think I'm mostly done with the crippling fatigue from first tri, which Is awesome.

Any pics: no. We're considering moving our oldest to the current guest room, which would mean making that her childhood room, and I'm way more excited about that than I ever get about nurseries. We've got a LOT of leg work to do, though, first. That's less exciting.


Bonus GTKY: Are you planning on going on a babymoon? Where are you going? Where's your dream babymoon destination?

I doubt it. I'd rather hold off and have a nice, long trip for our fifth anniversary (in two years) back to where we went on our honeymoon - I should be done gestating and breastfeeding by then!

[suelou18]

EDD: March 12


Weeks/Baby's Size: 14 w


Appointment plans/results: Nothing until next week


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
DH says I'm finally human again, so I guess there's that. I'm still vomiting, but without the feeling horrible before. I think I might be moving into the 2nd/3rd trimester vomit situation, which was no big deal and happened on and off for me after the 1st trimester last time. My energy is getting better. Now I'm just trying to figure out how I integrate myself back into daily family life and getting to play more with my DD.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Nope


Bonus GTKY: Are you planning on going on a babymoon? Where are you going? Where's your dream babymoon destination?
Nope. We did get a trip to the Caribbean from my work at the beginning of the year, so that was nice.

[Deleted]

EDD: 3/8


Weeks/Baby's Size: 14w5d lemon


Appointment plans/results: This Thursday. Then I'll probably get to schedule my AS!


How ya feeling: Just dealing with this dern strep.


Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Saving it for HDBD.


Bonus GTKY: Are you planning on going on a babymoon? Where are you going? Where's your dream babymoon destination?

I would love to, but I don't know if we will. DH and I never even had a honeymoon because the government shutdown made us have to cancel. :/ I'd love to go to Hawaii. It's one of the only states I haven't been to.

[cosmicav]

EDD: 02.28

Weeks/Baby's Size: 15w6d / box o crayons /can't even believe I am 16w tomorrow!

Appointment plans/results: my next appt is next Wednesday, and I am getting an ultrasound and hormone shot!

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) My H agreed to my boy name ideas since he is so sure this kid is a girl. I am triumphant because we don't usually agree on boy names As for symptoms, I get nauseous still sometimes but mostly it's after food. It's not as debilitating anymore so at least there is that.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc): haha craft projects if only I could plan ahead like that......

Bonus GTKY: Are you planning on going on a babymoon? Where are you going? Where's your dream babymoon destination? I wish but we can't afford a big vacation. We will probs just have a string of nice dates at some point.

Oh my god kinipela7 , are you going to Dove Mountain? I went to a wedding there and it was amazing! They have an amazing sushi bar, which I know isn't as fun pregnant, but seriously so good!

We are!!  Glad to hear its nice!  I can't do any of the fun activities though (mountain biking!!)

[moutonrouge]

EDD: 3/7

Weeks/Baby's Size: 14w6d, filet mignon today, cinnamon roll tomorrow

Appointment plans/results: Next MW appt is 9/30

How ya feeling: I drank a latte today! I feel so human again, its the best. I finally got clarification on our mat leave policy, so I know how long I would be out for and what the pay will be like during that which is helpful. DH is talking about taking some paternity leave after I go back, which surprised me - his job is super intense so I didn't even bring up that idea even though lots of friends have done it and recommended it. It would be nice if he can.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? I have some orange sherbet colored yarn just sitting in my craft drawers, and I'd like to make something baby-related from it. I crocheted a playmat for a friend, so I might do something similar with this. Hopefully it gets cool enough soon that I want to touch yarn

Bonus GTKY: Are you planning on going on a babymoon? Where are you going? Where's your dream babymoon destination? We're not - I travel too much for work to want to fly anywhere, and I'm trying not to use much vacation time since I can use some of it during mat leave to fill the gap between disability pay and my full salary.

[kaits8]

EDD: 3/31


Weeks/Baby's Size: 11w3d


Appointment plans/results: NT scan this Thursday! Hoping I can relax a bit after that and maybe start sharing the news.


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice): Feeling good, nausea seems to be going away and my skin is even clearing up a bit. I have NO idea on baby names, ugh.


Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Nothing yet, maybe I'll learn how to share pics after this u/s!


Bonus GTKY: Are you planning on going on a babymoon? Where are you going? Where's your dream babymoon destination?
We didn't do a babymoon w/ DD, but our wedding anniversary is this week so I'm surprising H with a 2 night getaway to the white mountains at the end of October (the earliest his schedule and not insane hotel prices worked together). He knows we will have 2 nights baby free, but he doesn't know where we are going yet. I just can't wait to have a full 48 hours with no responsibilities! We'd LOVE to go somewhere overseas with really good food, but that probably won't happen until the kids are all in college.

[caer]

EDD: March 30

Weeks/Baby's Size: 11w4d

Appointment plans/results: I had the panorama test done this morning. They said I should have the results in about 2 weeks.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I don't want to jinx myself but I felt almost normal this morning.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Not today

Bonus GTKY: Are you planning on going on a babymoon? Where are you going? Where's your dream babymoon destination?
We'd like to go away in February to have something to look forward to after the holidays. This year we went to The Homestead resort in Virginia that time of year and had a great time. We might do that again. I would love to go somewhere tropical but Zika sucks.

[daisylola11]

EDD: March 6th

Weeks/Baby's Size: 15 weeks, has avocado (4in)

Appointment plans/results: appt next thurs, basic no u/s just Doppler

How ya feeling: Feeling good although been craving all the junk food, and when I eat the junk then I regret cuz I feel shitty :/

Definitely feeling this ball that is my uterus when I sleep, having to kinda lean on a pillow on my side so it relieves a bit of the round ligament pain already.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas)?

Waiting until nov when we will decide if we will stay in our current house or buy/move. Then the nursery situation will be decided. we're in a 3 bedroom and one is DS's playroom so need to decide if he will get his toddler bed in there and make his old room the nursery ooooor what haha

Bonus GTKY: Since it will be winter we might try to get away a couple months before March and just stay a couple nights at a hotel in the mountains w a spa and just rest w out my toddler.

[mosdub]

EDD: 4/1/17


Weeks/Baby's Size: 11w2d (brussel sprout, poker chip, small lime)


Appointment plans/results: A week from today! Intake appointment, and ultrasound. I hope he wants me to do another ultrasound between 12 weeks and 20. I could see him having me just do a doppler but I have a bad history with dopplers and would rather just see baby to confirm everything looks okay.


How ya feeling: Good overall! My school year started off great. I like my schedule and all of my classes are awesome without major behavioral issues *knocks on wood* I'm still slightly nauseated from time to time, but nothing I can't handle. Boobs hurt more, and I'm noticing more pressure/fullness in my pelvis which I'm hoping is my uterus finally making an appearance. I have a crazy bump right now but it's all just extra weight I've put on. I think I've gained 6-8 pounds and 1st tri is almost done (I guess I was only supposed to gain 4.5 pounds max?). I'm going to try to reign in some of my snacking and be smarter about calories now.


Any pics? I could show you my fake bump, but I won't. Next week I'll hopefully have a healthy 12 week U/S pic.


Bonus GTKY: Are you planning on going on a babymoon? Where are you going? Where's your dream babymoon destination? I was just thinking of this. I wouldn't mind a babymoon, but we are trying to save up money so H can take extended leave when babe comes too. We did a lot of really fun stuff the past couple years so I guess that can suffice

[skk]

EDD: 24th

Weeks/Baby's Size: 12w2d/apricot

Appointment plans/results: NT scan on Friday

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Physically I've been feeling pretty good lately. The fatigue and nausea are still around, but it's been manageable. I've been craving all things sweet though.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? No pics yet. I wish I was crafty or was going to have a beautiful nursery, but we're tight on space.

Bonus GTKY: Are you planning on going on a babymoon? Where are you going? Where's your dream babymoon destination? We probably won't do anything special. We're trying to save money and leave time for when the little one arrives. It's also tough to find someone for the 3 yo to stay with.

[elsmom]

EDD: 3/21


Weeks/Baby's Size: 13 weeks, peach


Appointment plans/results: nothing until early Oct


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Feeling a little better but any time I branch out and have something rich/fatty/containing much dairy I get really sick for at least the next day or so


Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? I don't know how. I got a kind of cute u/s pic at our NT scan but am stupid about how to use this app. So I'm going to try, please feel free to correct me if this goes horribly wrong



Bonus GTKY: Are you planning on going on a babymoon? Where are you going? Where's your dream babymoon destination? We went to Hawaii for a baby moon before DD and it was lovely. This time we might go to Eastern WA for a few days at the end of Sep but with DD. Kind of a family-of-3 baby moon before our attention becomes shared.

[mikaela20]

EDD: March 6 or 7- I keep forgetting. Early March.

Weeks/Baby's Size: 15w, 2 d/ avocado

Appointment plans/results: OB appt next week, finally!

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I'm feeling great now, aside from daily headaches. I'm eating back to normally now. No real increase in appetite. I've been eating alot of ice cream lately though. I try to go for frozen yogurt.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)?

Here my bump! I feel like it's getting out of the just fat stage slowly.



Bonus GTKY: Are you planning on going on a babymoon? Where are you going? Where's your dream babymoon destination? If we had the money for one, I would love to rent a cottage in Muskoka for a week where all the rich people cottage. It's so beautiful there. Our first anniversary we stayed overnight at a resort which was $500. Now that a baby is on the way and a house closing in a couple months, it doesn't seem practical to spend that kind of money right now. We are going camping for our anniversary at the end of the month, so that's as close to a babymoon as we will get.

[meggypoo1]

EDD: 5/28

Weeks/Baby's Size: 12 weeks today! Roborovski Hamster

Appointment plans/results: NT scan on Thursday and our 2nd OB appointment right after the NT scan. Finally get to see the babe and hopefully hear the heart beat!

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) my pants are already getting tight. I still have a crazy head cold so I think I am just tired from that. I was so constipated on Sunday that it hurt when I walked.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Next week I will have a US picture!

Bonus GTKY: Are you planning on going on a babymoon? Where are you going? Where's your dream babymoon destination? Nope. No money. Didn't go on one last time either

[obi]

EDD: LMP says 3/10 dating scan 3/15


Weeks/Baby's Size: 14w4d / beet.


Appointment plans/results: endocrinologist next week. Saw my ob last week which was disappointing but i had an u/s which was nice.


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
My MS is back and worse than first tri. Also soooo exhausted.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)?
Hand on the forehead. Definitely my kid.


Bonus GTKY: Are you planning on going on a babymoon? Where are you going? Where's your dream babymoon destination
Lol no. No money or time. I also don't really feel a need to.

[erinshelley21]

EDD: 3/21
Weeks/baby's size: 13 weeks today / peach
Appt plans/results: going for an ultrasound tomorrow at 1 as a result of bleeding and cramping.
How ya feeling: physically I am still really tired, but I'm guessing that is due to me not doing anything since I got home from work Friday. I'm having heartburn and my boobs hurt, so I'm enjoying that. I'm gagging a lot at night. I can't brush my teeth or cough. Emotionally I'm a nervous wreck for the u/s. I'm mentally on hold from getting excited about or prepping for baby until tomorrow's appointment.
No pics.
GTKY: we went on one before ds, but probably won't before this one. Money is the biggest factor. I'm okay with not going on one. We've got an overnight trip at the end of October to take ds to see paw patrol and then if I'm allowed I'll be going to Michigan with mil and SIL in November for a Christmas shopping weekend.

I don't know when you're going, but we were there last October and it was still warm enough to lounge by the pool during the day but it got a little chilly at night

We will be there at the very beginning of November - I think it should be good still.  Hope there is a nice spa or something else for me to do!  I haven't looked much into it yet!  

[amandamh2]

EDD: April 3


Weeks/Baby's Size: 11w1d, lime


Appointment plans/results: first appointment with my new doctor today. She seems really great! We got to listen to little bean's heartbeat, a nice strong 155.


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)? Feeling okay overall, still dry heaving a lot but throwing up less. Haven't been around here much lately as we had a crazy week with DH's grad last week.

Bonus GTKY: No babymoon for us. We still haven't had a honeymoon because military life.
