[morwen]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 11, lime


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: physically - tired, bloated (I look 4-5 months pregnant by the end of the day), boobs are still heavy/sore, some nausea/constant hunger/heartburn?

Emotionally I just feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop like we made it this far so there should be bad news at my next apt, or my next u/s.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: apt tomorrow - really hope they use the Doppler, otherwise I've requested the NT so they should be giving me the info to schedule - it's done off site.


GTKY: What is your favourite children's movie? How to train your dragon. and I saw Frozen last week for the first time, it was adorable.

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 9 weeks 5 days (olive maybe? I havent checked)


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: exhausted doesnt even begin to describe. I went to bed at 8:45 last night. I'm way more tired this week than I have been previously. Emotionally, I flip flop a little from nervous/excited to stressed out.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Next friday at 11 weeks I have another u/s and my doctors appointment. Hoping all is good and I can start moving forward more. I want to be able to start to clean out stuff and really plan. If everything is ok next friday I'll also tell my work team and give my departure date to my HR department. I'm taking 3 weeks before my due date if all goes well. I dont want to be doing the 1km walk to and from work to the train in the -40 weather and January/February snow....


GTKY: What is your favourite children's movie? I have too many that I love.....I'm a huge sucker for kids movies.

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: still eating a lot. having some dizziness. and love sleeping. emotionally, feeling pretty good after my great appointment this morning.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: this morning I had a U/S and it went great. My next appointment is a meeting with a midwife on 7/30

GTKY: What is your favourite children's movie? I like kid's movies in general. I definitely have soft spots for Little Mermaid and Mary Poppins.

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 9w4d / green olive

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: Ugh. PGAL brain is on high alert today. It's Amazon Prime Day and of course I couldn't help myself and look at what they have for baby things on sale. Of course they have a few of the things on my secret wish list. Part of me wants so badly to bite the bullet, think positive, and start buying little things here and there. And a bigger part of me is like "girl you crazy." Physically, I'm fine. I actually feel quite wonderful today, which doesn't help the pgal brain at all.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Next Wednesday is the next u/s.

GTKY: What is your favourite children's movie? The Little Mermaid. Hands down, best movie ever made. I still watch it sometimes. I can sing all the songs and quote all the lines. When I was little, I used to pretend I was a mermaid in the city pool. Yes.. I was that kid.

Random: My new bras come in the mail today and I am so fucking excited.

Hi Ladies!

How far along are you (weeks/fruit):9 today! Green olive.


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: Physically, not too bad. Still tired, a little congested, and vague passing food aversions. Emotionally, I was feeling really good after my first appointment but I'm nervous again.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones:Have an exam with the NP on Friday and asking for a sanity scan just to reassure me since I'm not scheduled for another until week 12.


GTKY: What is your favourite children's movie? I love Toy Story! So much great adult humor.

[leahks77]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 9 wks, olive or cherry?


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: Physically, okay. Tired and a little blah about food. But okay. Emotionally, okay right now since I had a good ultrasound today and saw baby. But I cried through the whole thing because I was genuinely convinced I was going to get bad news, and then I was just so sad that I can't enjoy this. PGAL brain is the fucking worst.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Appt today with the nurse, and then an ultrasound. Both went well. I loved the nurse SO MUCH. I really felt like she took my concerns seriously, which meant a lot. Also, this week I passed my loss milestone. By both LMP and O EDDs. I'm trying to enjoy that.


GTKY: What is your favourite children's movie? Oh god so many. Little Mermaid, Monsters, Inc, Mary Poppins... I love kids movies

[mrsred09]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 10 weeks! Yay for double digits!


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: emotionally I'm doing okay. Physically I'm exhausted and wish I had at least a little energy to do something! I felt so bad today I barely spent anytime with DS because I was so tired and went straight to bed when I got home from work. By the time I woke up it was his bedtime. I will make it up to him this weekend.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: NT and regular OB check in 2 weeks


GTKY: What is your favourite children's movie? The little mermaid for sure! When it fort came out on VHS I watched it on repeat all day, so much that we had to buy a new VHS after a week because I wore out the tape and it broke :/

I don't know exactly where to put this so I'll put it here. I went back and forth on getting a Doppler a lot. Part of me knows if I can't find the heartbeat I will freak out. But with the way I've been feeling, I will be at the office a lot if I can't at least try at home. Well, it came in the mail this morning. Took about 10 minutes and 2 tries but I found the heartbeat! Nice and strong. Like a little train. At around 160-170bpm. I recorded it on my phone and put the Doppler away. And then cried a lot. I'm still so worried all the time and I hate it. But today, I am pregnant. And I love my baby. A whole lot.

Did you get the Sonoline B? I have one pulled up on eBay, but haven't bitten the bullet yet... It's the cheapest I've found.

[leahks77]

I did. I ordered it off fetal Doppler .net for $42. Not cheap but shipping was free and it showed up in 2 days. I spent a long time debating it too... But honestly I would have paid $100 to hear that sound this morning when my mind was going to bad places. Now I just need to keep reminding myself that I might not always find it right away. And to not freak out. And to only check once or twice a day...
