Weekly Check-in 4/24

[peggels24]

How far along are you? 11w, 4d



How are you feeling? I think I might be moving past morning sickness but I fear to say that is to jinx myself I'm still tired but not as exhausted as I was last week.



Any appointments this week? Tomorrow I do the diabetes screen test (the 1 hour and the 2 hour) and then next Tuesday is my NT scan.



QOTW: If you had to choose between free bi-weekly (every 2 weeks) house cleaning, twice weekly days of chef-cooked meals for your family including planning, a bi-weekly full day nanny care including bed time (on days you don't work/don't day care), or a bi-weekly massage, which would you choose and why? (I made up completely arbitrary time lines, lol)

House cleaning for sure! I already get my house cleaned every 2 weeks so I would love the extra dough - then I could go ahead and go out to eat twice a week LOL

[theiowagirl]

How far along are you? 9 weeks today!

How are you feeling? Typical. Exhausted. One day I'm nauseas and throwing up. The next I'm fine and can eat a decent variety of things.

Any appointments this week? Nope. 1 week from today!

(I made up completely arbitrary time lines, lol)

bi weekly massage. Without a doubt. If I'm doing the other stuff must of the time, at least every other week I know I can get a massage. I really love massages. I got them monthly with my first babe. Now I'm trying to figure out how to do the same but not have to ask my MIL for the childcare. 😔

How far along are you? 10w1d



How are you feeling? All of my symptoms have magically disappeared, so of course that has me freaking out.



Any appointments this week? Nope, May 5th.

I would go with the house cleaning. We already have someone come every other week and my house still gets messy fast.

How far along are you? 10w2d


How are you feeling? Tired and not as hungry as I was a week or two ago. I'm kind of meh on food right now actually. Nothing sounds overly bad, but nothing sounds good either.


Any appointments this week? Tomorrow, just to check in with my OB and sign off on my progesterone shots.


QOTW: Cleaning because I hate it.

[grumpycat88]

How far along are you? 12 w 1 day



How are you feeling? Good ... other than allergies and not being able to take any decongestants. I'm hungry all the time too.



Any appointments this week? I go Thursday for my 12 week appt. Just the usual weight, pee, doppler. I'm excited to hear the baby's heartbeat though

(I made up completely arbitrary time lines, lol)

Cleaning!! I don't have the energy (or desire) to keep up with it. We mostly clean before people come over to our house. We got a new vacuum and it's wonderful though. FFMC: My mom cleans when she comes over and watches DS. She was over last week and cleaned our downstairs bathroom, cat litter, kitchen, and vacuumed. She's an angel, basically. She claims that she cannot sit still when he's napping. I'm not complaining.

How are you feeling? Tired of being nauseous and throwing up at random. I think I am less exhausted now so yay?



Any appointments this week? nope

House cleaning times 1000. My house is eternally a wreck. I blame my toddler, but I also suck at cleaning. I would love to have a nice, organized house.

[bostonbaker]

How far along are you? 11w3d

How are you feeling? Fine, bloated.  I feel like I'm hungry all the time but at least now I can eat more real food and not just carbs carbs carbs.

Any appointments this week? Yes on Wednesday!  Hoping for an ultrasound but I'm far enough along that she might just try the doppler, IDK.  I'm also hoping she'll have our Panorama results by then.  I did the blood draw on Tuesday and I got an email on Saturday that they received my sample and were starting analysis.  The website says 5-7 calendar days to get results, Wednesday will be 5 days so I'm hoping we have info, and of course hoping for low risk on everything.

[pootsen]

How far along are you? 10w3d

How are you feeling? Like crap. I'm so nauseous and I feel like my blood vessels are filled with concrete. I have an aversion to anything healthy so I know that the junk food is making me feel even worse but it's all I can stomach. And I haven't exercised in forever so I just feel like a blob. Oh and I think I'm getting a chest cold- yay.

Any appointments this week? Yep I had my blood draw for genetic screening this morning. She said I should get the results in 5-7 days.

QOTW: Cleaning! I don't mind stuff like tidying up or even vacuuming but it would be great to have someone do all of the scrubbing/deep cleaning.

[bethkate]

12w2d

Ok. My hips are killing me today, but the spotting is practically gone again, so that's good.

I have an u/s and ob appointment Friday, and it can't come soon enough. I'm so nervous.

QOTW: I'd love free cleaning help. I'm slacking big time.

[cnf2013]

How far along are you? 10w2d, thought I measured 10+5 today. They won't change dates after your initial ultrasound though, which is fine with me.


How are you feeling? Currently frustrated with DD's sleep fighting, but pregnancy wise I'm just fucking tired. And still dealing with nausea, though the dry heaves are becoming less and less.


Any appointments this week? Had our accident follow up today. Everything looked great. I go back next Monday for the SCH follow up ultrasound, pap, labs, and genetic testing.


QOTW: Cleaners, 10000000000% without a doubt. I hate cleaning. I hate giving any of my very limited, basically nonexistent not parenting time to something as sucky as cleaning. I can't even tell you how many times I've considered hiring someone for just one time, because for real, we can't afford that regularly. It's basically my dream to have a regular cleaning lady, even if just once a month.

My mom also cleans my house during the day when she watches DD. It's the most cleaning my house ever sees. Even while we were gone this past week she was hemming some curtains for us and still ended up cleaning when she finished. She just always says she likes to clean when she's bored. Whatever, I'll take it!

[RoLoMa]

How far along are you? 10w2d

How are you feeling? Still off and on. More "on" hours than "off" these days but the evenings are still quite rough. I'm just craving California rolls all day, every day. It is turning into an expensive craving.

Any appointments this week? Nope. Not until next Friday.

QOTW: It is a toss up between the house cleaning and massages. I'd probably end up choosing house cleaning because although I love massages, the cleaning is something tangible that would save me a lot of time.

[fknhostile]

How far along are you? 8w5d



How are you feeling? Awful. Nausea, vomiting, headaches, tired, food adversions... you name it I have it.



Any appointments this week? Friday with my OB. She's going to try for HB. I already did my 1st tri blood screen and all was good.

Housecleaning for sure. I usually love to clean but I can barely get off the couch and my kids and H can only do so much lol

Feeling: crappy. Tired. Hungry. Nauseous. And my hips hurt 😭

No appointments this week. I think my next one isn't until my NT scan in May.

Maid- we are actually considering hiring a cleaning service to come regularity.

Do it!  H and I swear that it saved our marriage.  We both slacked on cleaning and then it would get dirty and we would be angry at each other for not doing it.  Best thing we ever did!

[izz67]

How far along are you? 12+4



How are you feeling?
Good for the most part. I feel best if I keep from getting hungry but not real full.


Any appointments this week? Yes, on Thursday. The routine weight check, pee and Doppler.

Cleaning for sure.

How are you feeling? super sick in the afternoons. cramps. food aversions. moody as hell. starving. stressing (pgal brain)



Any appointments this week? zip zero zilch

house cleaning for sure. OUr house stays pretty damn clean but it gets dusty as hell. I hate dusting!

[beefinch]

How far along are you? 12+2



How are you feeling? Ecstatic. Saw them today on U/S, so wriggly and looking like a real baby!



Any appointments this week? Just today U/S. I haven't got anything now until 16 weeks, but I don't care since I've seen my jelly bean.

How are you feeling: I've been fighting the worst cold that I've had in years. But actually zero pregnancy symptoms other than having to pee a lot motn and....that may be it?

Any appointments this week? Nope. None for a little more than two weeks.

QOTW: I'm looking at this from a money saving perspective. So I don't love cleaning, and actually haven't really cleaned other than my kitchen and picking up, since I've been pregnant. Luckily MH cleaned the toilets the other day. But, I don't already pay for a house cleaner, I don't do massages, or childcare. So two days a week of free food would be awesome! Also I have been so blah about meal planning and cooking lately.

[blabbermouth]

How far along are you? 12w today!

How are you feeling? Good, less tired this week so far. I announced to my coworkers today, so that was exciting.

Any appointments this week? Nope Next week.

Definitely the chef-cooked meals!!! Better than the takeout we usually get. I don't LIKE cleaning, but I do it anyway. I feel like I might change my mind once I have the kid though.

[amadine23]

How far along are you? 9w6d

How are you feeling? Still puking. Still stuck on the couch.

Any appointments this week? No.

QOTW: Def the nanny since I'm non-functional and can't do anything with DS.

[peggels24]

amadine23, I wish I could help you

Thanks, that's so sweet! This and my first pregnancy are definitely the hardest things I've ever gone through, but I try to remind myself that at least pregnancy is temporary!

How are you feeling? Ok...heartburn is a bitch.



Any appointments this week? Not until next week for NT scan.

Right now I would pick massage because my back hurts, but generally, cleaning. I don't really mind cleaning but my work schedule has changed recently and I have less time at home. I really want to hire a cleaning service but I have to find someone willing to work around my crazy dog.

[laurensc927]

How far along are you? 9 weeks 6 days

How are you feeling? Good, hunger seems to have lessened, very tired in the morning.

Any appointments this week? Nope

QOTW: Cleaning for sure. H and I both don't like to do it so it would be nice for someone to take that on.

You have all my sympathies. Hugs

[bella423]

How far along are you? 12 weeks 2 days

How are you feeling? Ok, still have some nausea and a few headaches, but overall better than I have the past few weeks.



Any appointments this week? Yes! We had one today and we're able to hear the heartbeat. Even for the third kid it is still so awesome to hear.

QOTW: House cleaning! We used to have a cleaning lady and fired her because I felt like she didn't clean that great. I work our business 3 days a week and usually clean on Wednesdays. I don't mind it, but being sick the past couple of months I feel like it has gotten behind. I have such a routine of what I want cleaned it drives me crazy not to stay on track!

[grumpycat88]

Had my 12 week appointment today. The nurse found baby right away and heart rate was in upper 140s we aren't doing the NT test so I'll go back for 16 weeks! I'm looking forward to being able to feel baby moving around in the next couple weeks. I felt DS at 16 weeks (but he also moved a ridiculous amount) so we shall see!

I was trying to figure out when I felt DD move - I think it was around the same time as you - hard to believe that it's so close in time.

How are you feeling? Today, pretty decent. The last couple of weeks has really been rough with ms and heartburn.



Any appointments this week? Nope, nothing again until the end of may.

(I made up completely arbitrary time lines, lol) Definitely the house cleaning. I try to keep things picked up but the scrubbing, dusting, vaccuming and the deep cleaning gets left undone for longer than I would like. Laundry would DEFINITELY need to be included in all that. I hate folding clothes.

According to the interwebz, STM can feel baby move up to a month sooner. I think I've felt it a few times just really light flutters, but I'm not certain. I could feel kicks at 16 weeks so I skipped flutters with DS.
