Due 4.2.17 / 16 weeks / dill pickles

I have my follow up appointment with the endocrinologist this week. Hoping my hyperthyroid has resolved itself. A/S is the 24th, but I found out last week we're having girls!

Feeling pretty normal overall. I'm also pretty sure I'm feeling movement on my left side from baby A. My sense of smell is also out of control. DH and the dogs stink so bad all the time and C's morning diapers make me gag. At least I'm hoping that's what it is and not an ammonia problem with our cloth.

GTKY: I just drink boring ole water out of a glass. Sorry.

[fishchicks]

Happy Sunday ladies!

Due Date/Weeks: 4/9/16

Baby's size: Cinnamon buns

How are you feeling? I saw a new OB last Tuesday who started me on Zofran on Wednesday. It is life changing. I can make it through work without the constant nausea and I didn't even retch on my commute home! My mom's coming to visit on Friday and I hope to feel well enough to work on the nurseries with her.

GTKY: What's you best hydration tip? I constantly have a Contigo water bottle with me, and I sip it all day. As the weather gets colder, it'll turn into a Contigo insulated mug with hot water in it.

Due Date/Weeks: 4/16, 14 weeks

Baby's size: Large Lemon

Updates/appointments? I got nothing. Next appt 11/8

How are you feeling? Struggling with fatigue. I'm just so soooo tired. And my hips are constantly hurting.

GTKY: What's you best hydration tip (fav water bottle, water add in, etc)

I think the biggest thing is having a water bottle that you like. If I don't like my bottle I won't drink out of it. I prefer the spout/straw type versus the screw top type.

Due Date/Weeks: 4/5/16 15+4

Baby's size: crayon box

Updates/appointments? Appt tomorrow at 3:20

How are you feeling? Fairly well, have a headache today so I feel a little useless

GTKY: What's you best hydration tip (fav water bottle, water add in, etc)
I bring a washer bottle with me to work everyday. I have a 40 minute drive, so I usually finish it by the time I get there, and then will Fill it up at least three times throughout the day . At home, I'll sometimes add a crystal light to change up the flavor

[onesweetworld]

Due Date/Weeks: 4/15. 14+1

Baby's size: Kiwi

Updates/appointments? I did my bloodwork last Monday - finally. I'm stalking the website to find out the baby's sex. OB appt 10/25.

How are you feeling? Lots of RLP but otherwise fine.

GTKY: What's you best hydration tip (fav water bottle, water add in, etc) just find what works best for you. I drink 100+ ozs a day, so I don't have any issues. I recommend a straw and a big cup for anyone with issues. I will get a large iced coffee at DD in the morning and fill that cup up 3-5 times a day.

[tygandre]

Due date/weeks: 4/24, 13 weeks (I totally waited till it was Monday for this reason)

Baby's size: Peapod/peach/lemon (who knew googling this would give me so many different things) and apparently my uterus is the size of a grapefruit. WHO KNEW.

Updates/appointments: I went into my OB last week to sign a release form so they'll transfer my paperwork to the clinic I went to for DS. No word from either practice yet about a new appointment. I will call the one I am transferring to tomorrow if I don't hear from them, I suppose. So no idea when my next appointment will be.

How are you feeling: Ehhh. Still got that heavy nausea feeling all day erry day. Also soresoresore after every potty trip that isn't just peeing. But I haven't puked in over a week, so PROGRESS.

GTKY - hydration tips: I have none. I am bad at this. I got a new water bottle from some program through work's insurance, so I've been carrying it around with me (it's a nice enough bottle) and TRYING to drink more. Water suddenly all tastes BLEH to me, and supplementing with non-water-drinks is still more difficult for me to get enough intake.

[LaRomana]

Due Date/Weeks: 4/18 14 weeks tomorrow!

Baby's size: lemon

Updates/appointments? I had an OB appt last week. Doctor found HB on Doppler for the first time, and my Panorama blood work came back low risk for everything, so a pretty great appointment!

How are you feeling? Starting to feel less exhausted, but woke up yesterday with back spasms that haven't gone away yet.

GTKY: What's you best hydration tip (fav water bottle, water add in, etc) I agree with ourcrazynavylife, having a water bottle you like is key. I had been searching for a good glass one for the longest time and I finally found one about a month ago from Faucet Face, I love it! I don't know if it's just me, but I think water tastes better out of glass!

[sympkin]

Due Date/Weeks: 4.6 - 15w4d

Baby's size: Avocado. Or as my daughter calls it an Uncle Cado.

Updates/appointments? Got to get the rest of my prenatal screening blood test tomorrow. Chiropractor on Thursday and I am so looking forward to it.

How are you feeling? Pretty good. Sleep is getting a little better so that helps and I'm starting to get back into my exercise routine. Baby is definitely popping around down there so it a good mental salve whenever that happens.

GTKY: What's you best hydration tip: Fizzy water and citrus. I've been buying 12 packs of 1L lemon Perrier and I drink one a day on top of everything else.

[iqeb]

Due Date/Weeks: 4/9 15+1

Updates/appointments? OB on Friday. Should get to schedule the anatomy scan while we're there! I'll probably also try to knock out the second tri bloodwork while we're there so I don't have to make another trip but less excited about that. Oh and also probably flu shot since they didn't have it in yet when I went at the beginning of September. So much fun with needles

How are you feeling? Sill dealing with m/s. Still nursing 5-10 times a day, but not sure what my supply is like these days. Hips hurt for the first time last night. Been feeling movement for about a week.

GTKY: What's you best hydration tip (fav water bottle, water add in, etc) insulated water bottles helped me a lot this summer, but now that I'm cold as often as I'm hot they're less helpful. I think mostly my problem is that I associate drinking water with feeling more sick after so I never want to.

[rowe]

Due Date/Weeks: 4/19, 13w5d

Baby's size: jalapeño

Updates/appointments? Nothing this week, had a great NT Scan last week. I have no clue when my next midwife appointment is, but anatomy scan is booked for Nov 21.

How are you feeling? Better mostly! The last two days I wasn't feeling the best, but I forgot my Diclectin one night and I think that set me back. I guess I'm not ready to wean off, my midwife said I could try Week 14 but after the last two days I think I'll be waiting a few more weeks. Puking up an orange in front of my toddler was not nice this morning.
Also, I'm almost positive I felt movement yesterday so that was exciting!!

GTKY: What's you best hydration tip?

I love sparkling water so I bought a soda stream after my last pregnancy when I spent a small fortune on bottles of Perrier. It definitely helps me drink more water, but lately it's been cold so I'm not drinking as much as I usually do.

[ThankfulSnail]

Due Date/Weeks: 4/19, 13w5d

Baby's size: Peach

Updates/appointments? Next appointment is 11/2.

How are you feeling? Pretty good. Still consistently tired and starving. Trying to load up with more healthy snacks but doing better at it during the week than the weekend.

GTKY: What's you best hydration tip?

I have a sip of water every time I accomplish a task at work- like finish an email or phone call. I go through a 20 oz tumbler about every hour, plus the additional water I drink at home and while commuting.

[hpnegirl]

Due Date/Weeks: 12w1d/ April 30

Baby's size: small macaron

Updates/appointments? NT tomorrow

How are you feeling? Bleh. So much bleh and emotional exhausted and drained

GTKY: What's you best hydration tip (fav water bottle, water add in, etc)

I'm really bad at this...

[lilmonk]

Due Date/Weeks: 13+1, 24/04/17

Baby's size: Peapod length

Updates/appointments? Waiting for all my results from my NT and thyroid. Hopefully can get in on Friday before work.

How are you feeling? Exhaustion. Is there a word that's more exhausted than exhaustion, because that's me. Meat aversion is still strong but I'm able to handle raw chicken now. Raw red meat is still a huge no go and I have to leave the room if DH is cooking. I can't walk past the butchers without spewing. Constipation is back in full force too.

GTKY: What's you best hydration tip (fav water bottle, water add in, etc)

I have two 1.5 litre bottles, I freeze them halfway with water then fill the rest up with water and sliced lemon. I have to drink cold cold water or else it's gross. I keep alternating them if they get too warm.

[heisenberg]

Due Date/Weeks: April 8/15+2

Baby's size: eclair!

Updates/appointments: regular 4-week appointment on Thursday.

How are you feeling? Doing pretty well. Main complaints are off and on headaches and (tmi) bladder control. Need to talk to the OB about both.

GTKY: What's you best hydration tip (fav water bottle, water add in, etc) I drink a ton of water, but I have no secret. I just like it. I miss exactly one thing about my old job, though: the bubbly water machine! It was great to mix it up a bit.

[mosdub]

Due Date/Weeks: 4/1/17 16w3d

Baby's size: The size of an avocado - but the OB nurse said he's 6 ounces heavy, so even though they get long they are light for a while! I guess the next 4 weeks are the fat-building stage.

Updates/appointments? I had one yesterday that went swimmingly! The ultrasound tech was so awesome and while they didn't get to see everything they would have liked, they said it was because I was only 16 weeks so they will reassess at 20 weeks. I also found out we are team BLUE! Feeling a lot more confident and while I don't want to tell my students I think I'll start slowly telling staff.

How are you feeling? Great!

GTKY: What's you best hydration tip (fav water bottle, water add in, etc) I have a squirt bottle that I drink a lot more out of than any other bottle.

[seadragon2013]

Due Date/weeks: 4/13, 14 w 6 d

Baby's size: largish lemon

Updates/appointments? I have an OB appointment on Friday, but it should be a short one.

How are you feeling? My morning sickness is gone, but I caught a cold last week that has morphed into bronchitis. I saw my GP today and she prescribed neb treatments. Hopefully they help.

GTKY: What's you best hydration tip (fav water bottle, water add in, etc).
I have a 24 oz Camelback water bottle that I bring everywhere. I also drink tea most mornings and evenings. I'm definitely well hydrated, the bigger issue is how often I have to pee!
