How far along are you? 7w1d What is baby's size? A playing die Any appointments this week? Not til the end of the month.....forever! How are you feeling? Nauseous, exhausted, sore boobs, and no patience Anything you want to vent about? Nope
GTKY: how has the pregnancy affected your relationship with your SO? Other than making our sex life nonexistent, not much. Oh and also, a lot more falls on H to do because I feel like crap and get nothing done all day. I do feel bad because I'm home all day while he works (I do work PT) and I still can't manage to have a plan for dinner...but food is disgusting.

Thank you for starting yoshijo28, I think Monday works?
How far along are you? 7+0 What is baby's size? Berlingot candy (?) Any appointments this week? US this AM How are you feeling? Nervous nervous nervous. RE warned me at some point my insurance may rebel on a weekly US Anything you want to vent about? Google is the worst, such anxiety inducing inconsistent info!! I should step away.
GTKY: how has the pregnancy affected your relationship with your SO? OMG he will not leave me alone! hahaha I am so nervous, and I know it can't cause harm but do not want to have sex right now, which somehow makes me all the more appealing to SO.
yoshijo28 I think Mondays are fine, that gives people all week to check in at their leisure. My weeks change on Tuesdays so that's when I'll check in :-)
How are you feeling? Tired all the time and I'm having a hard time sleeping. My mind is constantly thinking about things and I can't seem to shut it off. Also, I want to eat everything.
Anything you want to vent about? I'm finally sleep training my daughter and I feel like the meanest mom ever. I just really need her to be ST by the time this baby comes or I will lose my shit.
GTKY: how has the pregnancy affected your relationship with your SO? Nothing has changed really. He's been working a lot, like 60-70 hours a week, so that's been an issue more than anything else recently.
mrshall1027 Sleep training is so tough. It will be soo good once it's done though! It's super rare for H or I to have to go into DS's room during the night now (basically only when he's really sick.) Eyes on the prize!

She's actually great at sleeping through the night, unless like you mentioned, she's sick or has allergies. She's always fallen asleep with me holding her and that's the challenge. As soon as I lay her in her bed, she cries such a sad cry and I feel so guilty for leaving her. I know it'll get easier, but it breaks my heart. Tonight will be night 3, so it's still early on.

Is she old enough to understand something like "we are going to snuggle for a few minutes and then mommy is going to put you in your bed to fall asleep. You're getting to be such a big girl! Mommy loves you and is close by..." Etc? Hugs momma, it's tough!
Any appointments this week? No :/ NT scan is the 20th
How are you feeling? Good I don't have many symptoms anymore so I'm chalking it up to almost hitting 2nd tri. I can exercise again yesss! PAIF brain is bad though so I'm getting a doppler!
Anything you want to vent about? Not right now
GTKY: Now I can do stuff again but for awhile he was taking care of everything. No complaints, I appreciated it. I think it's brought us a little closer. Kids were always something we didnt discuss much since IF and it's exciting that we can now. We're both more relaxed in social settings that involve children.
yoshijo28 I loved my doppler last time. I started finding the heartbeat right around 10w. But don't buy if it will freak you out to not find it easily every time!

See that's the problem lol... I have bad anxiety so IDK what's worse..going for weeks being anxious or not being able to find it on the doppler. Last u/s at 9w the tech couldn't find a hb because my uterus was backwards so we had to do transvaginal u/s.

She would understand after a while. She's really good with routines, though. So I'm holding on to that hoping it'll get easier/better as time goes on.

Would your OB/MW be willing to have you come in for a doppler check when your anxiety gets the best of you? It's a tough call. The doppler saved me some anxiety several times, but it would also freak me out if I couldnt find it.
I gave myself a time limit of searching (5 min). Then I made myself put it away and try the next day. They are still little and very mobile in there, so it's easy for them to "hide". I liked it better in second/third tri on days when he wasn't moving as much. He would always kick hard after I used it.

How far along are you? - 6w4d What is baby's size? blueberry Any appointments this week? Nope. How are you feeling? Pretty good. A little nausea is starting to creep in but nothing crazy yet as long as I am continually snacking. Anything you want to vent about?. Not that I can think at the moment.
GTKY: how has the pregnancy affected your relationship with your SO? Ugh. sex. I want none. He wants more. Other than that not too much else yet.
+1 to the no sex... don't want anything to do with it! We weren't allowed after the transfer until we saw the HB..add suppositories in the mix and just no..
Any appointments this week? No, not till next week, the 18th!
How are you feeling? Same old, constant 24 hour nausea and food is gross. I'm also sleeping shitty
Anything you want to vent about? Not really. Anyone going through puking and nausea has all my sorries. It is such a crappy feeling.
GTKY: how has the pregnancy affected your relationship with your SO? Meh, probably not the best day to answer. We had a shitty day yesterday and were arguing. My patience were really thin. Also the thought of sex, no interest whatsoever. I feel bad for MH but not bad enough to change it right now, lol. I'm hoping once the sickness stops, I will get somewhat interested.
How far along are you? 8 weeks Any appointments this week? We saw and heard HB on 1/5 at last RE appointment. I saw OB today and got a pap. Next appointment is the 24th and she'll check the HB with the Doppler then. How are you feeling? I'm mostly ok. Slight nausea has started, so I've eaten more junk than I've wanted to. Anything you want to vent about? I have a bad fucking hemorrhoid.
GTKY: how has the pregnancy affected your relationship with your SO? Nothing has really changed. I feel he's slightly less sympathetic to my pregnancy symptoms this time around.

How far along are you? 8 weeks
What is baby's size? Kidney bean
Any appointments this week? First appointment and ultrasound Thursday afternoon
How are you feeling? Tired and very bloated, gaggy in the morning. My sore boobs have kind of faded away this morning, which is making me nervous, but I know it's normal for symptoms to come and go.
Anything you want to vent about? No.
GTKY: how has the pregnancy affected your relationship with your SO? Ha! I join with all the others who want no sex at all first trimester. Poor dh. I really need to make more of an effort, but if I lie down on the bed I fall asleep.
How are you feeling? Still tired af. Nauseous, but thankfully no puking. My boobs are swollen and sore. Bloated.
Anything you want to vent about? I've gained 6 lbs in 2-3 weeks. With DS I LOST 5 lbs in 1st tri. I know some of it has to do with the holidays, but damn.
GTKY: how has the pregnancy affected your relationship with your SO? +1 to no desire for sex. I know H feels a bit neglected and I feel horrible about that, but I just can't.

How far along are you? 10+2
What is baby's size? A tart kumquat
Any appointments this week? doctors appointment on friday
How are you feeling? tired but having troubles falling asleep at night. Boobs feel massive. Sometimes I wonder if they're going to smother me in my sleep. Still nauseous all the time but definitely not as bad as before. Most days I also feel like a massive blob from all of the bloating
Anything you want to vent about? Just the bloating. I don't remember feeling 10 months pregnant 10 weeks in last time....and it majorly sucks.
GTKY: how has the pregnancy affected your relationship with your SO? +a million to no sex. But I am trying to be in a better spirit about it all. Also sometimes MH has irrationally irritated me for no reason at all LOL That poor, poor man

Anything you want to vent about?
GTKY: how has the pregnancy affected your relationship with your SO? Poor H wants sex but we are on pelvic rest and even if i wasn't i am just not in the mood. Also i feel so guilty that he is doing everything and i am just laying on the couch.
