Post Turkey Day Check In-11-29

[harlowjune1984]

How many weeks are you? 6w 1d

Symptoms? Tired. Pregnancy brain. Waves of nausea throughout the day.

Upcoming appts? None. I still haven't scheduled my first appointment yet. I'm such a slacker!

Rants/Raves? All I wanted to do on Saturday was take a nap, and we were home all day, but DH wouldn't get DD out of my hair so I could do so. Finally, I got annoyed, took his tv remote and ordered a $6 movie for her to watch off of Apple TV, and parked her in front of the tv. But by that point, I had missed my napping window, and could no longer fall asleep.

How many weeks are you? 6 weeks 4 days


Symptoms? Super sore boobs and nipples. I live in my sports bra and only take it off to shower. Exhausted and feel queasy basically all day. DH said my rap name is Lil Queasy, because every time he asks how I'm feeling I say it. Still some cramping, but it seems to mainly be coming from my cyst, so that's good.


Upcoming appts? 8 week appointment is on 12/11, and I'm looking forward to it! Hoping to hear a nice, strong heartbeat.


Rants & raves: I feel like such a lazy sack of bones, and keep trying to tell myself it's because I'm growing a baby and will (hopefully) get my energy back in the 2nd trimester. Yesterday I slept until 11, laid in bed for a couple hours, moved to the couch, and took a nap and watched movies the rest of the day. So. Tired.


GTKY: All I Want For Christmas by Mariah Carey is definitely my favorite. And then the Merry Christmas (Happy Holidays) Nsync song, because Nsync.

How many weeks are you? 5w1d

Symptoms? Upset stomach, tiredness, nausea..

Upcoming appts? ...none yet.

Rants/Raves? My betas came back positive at 1050 at 4w3d! I did repeat betas at 4w5d & 5w1d (today).. don't know what they are yet. Also RE is putting me on progesterone suppositories, as precaution she said.

GTKY:
What is your favorite holiday day song? I love jingle bells!

mcktymck, Lil Queasy. I love it.

How many weeks are you? 9 weeks 2 days

Symptoms? Just tired and my sinuses are acting up which I'm convinced is a pregnancy thing since they got bad last time I was pregnant

Upcoming appts? Not until 12/10

Rants/Raves? We had DS wear an "I'm a big brother" shirt to Thanksgiving and my FIL immediately took a pic and posted it to fb, it was kind of awkward when H had to ask him to take it down. Everyone was so great my last pregnancy, I have no clue why everyone has such big mouths this time around.

GTKY:
What is your favorite holiday day song? I really like pop/R&B remakes of songs. N*SYNC Christmas album forever!

I don't get why people do this.  A couple people from my H's side posted on FB when my son was born before I could.  It's not their news to share - it's just rude.

OMG - I would KILL someone! Who does that?

I also had an "unplugged" wedding because I didn't want someone posting pics of me as a bride  on FB from some crappy iphone.  Some people need to step away from the Facebook.

I was pissed but not surprised.  One of these people is the type of person who posts about 10 times a day and thinks everything he says is brilliant (it's not; most of it is annoying). 

Good call on the unplugged wedding.  I feel like that wasn't a thing when I got married, but it's such a good idea.  However, I hated my photographer so actually a lot of the iPhone pics from friends turned out to be pretty great and of stuff the photographer missed so can't complain about that.

5w 4d

Not much in the symptom department. Kinda makes me worried a bit.

Rave: I love the holiday season. It warms my heart. Rant: I hate working the three weeks in between Thanksgiving and Christmas. No one wants to be there, and I resent all the holiday activities I am missing out on with DD. I am incredibly thankful, however, for the two weeks off that I get.

Religious - The First Noel (the version by my man Bing)

Secular- 12 Days of Christmas by Straight No Chaser. My hubby got me tickets to see them in Chicago on Dec. 19th!

My dad posted on Facebook the moment I went into labor with DD. He was the last person I worried about doing something like that. I was super pissed. My mom dealt with it though. He got quite the earful. After that freak out, no one dared to post about DD's birth until I did.

When my SIL went into labor, her MIL posted all the updates on Facebook. I made it clear then that we will not be okay with that. H & I are the only one allowed to update on labor or baby's arrival.

omg. I've never been more thankful that my parents are internet illiterate.

How many weeks are you? 8w5d

Symptoms? Nausea, so much nausea. I thought it was easing up but came back in full force. I might ask for zofran soon since the B6 unisom isn't helping.

Upcoming appts? Dec. 17th and it seems so far away. But we'll get our MaterniT21 done then.

Rants/Raves? I worked Thanksgiving but that means I get Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off. I'm so excited!
H and I started dating December 1st and got married Dec. 28th (different years obviously). Last year I made up 28 envelopes of fun "dates" for each day of December leading up to our one year married (things like movie nights, game nights, going and looking at the Christmas lights, bigger dates for the weekends). This year we split the days and he took evens and I took odds. I'm super excited to see what he comes up with.

GTKY: I love all the Christmas music, I even have several CDs in my car that I keep in my car for when I'm feeling down.

When I had DD any updates were sent with the warning that NOTHING was to be posted to Facebook until after I was ready.

Just wanted to update from my appointment yesterday - little peanut is measuring exactly 7w3d with a heartbeat of 145! My husband got to hear it too, his face was priceless. Next u/s is 12/14, she's going to keep bringing me in as much as she can just to make me feel better.

Yay!!

Hey! Late to the party here!

How many weeks are you? 7

Symptoms? I've been having a lot more nausea- it happens when I'm really hungry and then after I eat. Headaches too.

Upcoming appts? One week from today we finally get to see the baby!

Rants/Raves? Today I'm feeling really anxious and just starting having some nausea (this afternoon, first time today, not just started like the whole pregnancy), which helps calm my nerves. I just get worried some days and want to see the baby. Our babysitter called and asked me when our US is and then my husband called right after really excited that it's only a week away, so it brought my anxiety back to the front of my mind. I had a suspected MC/CP in September and I chose not to do betas to confirm... so I feel silly saying that I'm pGAL because I don't know for sure but today my mind is just getting the best of me. Ughhhh. Just trying to stay busy at work to keep my mind off of it!

I love all of the NSYNC songs, I probably shouldn't type that but I love them!

How many weeks are you? 8 weeks 4 days according to LMP (I'm convinced I ovulated later and am only 6-7 weeks)

Symptoms? Just tired and very very cold. This pregnancy seems to be a duplicate of my last which I'm not complaining about.

Upcoming appts? First appt and ultrasound on Dec 7th (8 days)!

Rants/Raves? I feel like I'm getting sick. We are taking DS (almost 2 yo) to Disney for the first time with all of H's extended family on Wednesday. I can. Not. Be. Sick.

GTKY:
What is your favorite holiday day song? I used to hate everything Christmas but DS is a Christmas baby (12-23) so I get into it now. I love Baby It's Cold Outside and Merry Kalikimaka.

I have felt like I have a lot of similarities to my first pregnancy this time as well, it's kind of crazy! 

Have fun at Disney, hopefully no one is sick for the trip!  My two co-workers are both going within the next month.  I'm all jealous over here!

We almost did the same thing with DD on Thanksgiving and that's the exact reason we didn't!  My cousins are FB whores LOL!  I'm glad he took it down right away for you. 

[wineoclock]

Thanks TnT10 I have officially lost my voice but I say that's all the more reason to steer clear of my MIL!

The similarities to my last pregnancy has DH speculating that we will have another boy. I'm over here rolling my eyes. We shall see. Are you and your H finding out?

Ugh, hopefully it's short-lived!  MIL's on vacation are nuts, seriously.  We went on vacation with IL's like 10 years ago and MIL wanted to hand out a daily itinerary.  Newp, we shut that shit down immediately.  Hopefully yours is a little better than that haha! 

We found out with DD but are team green this time!  The only thing that is different is the nausea so far though but with DD we had a girl name before we were KU and this time we have a boy name so we are both leaning towards boy! Are you finding out or are you team green too?

Hell no to a daily itinerary! My MIL is a real gem who told me she "raised 4 kids and has 3 grandkids, well, not yours so much" so basically my son isn't "really" her grandchild. Lovely! I'm just grateful we live in different states!

We'd love to be team green in theory but neither of us could stand not knowing. We are going to find out again the second we can. I give kudos to those of you who can wait. We have no will power.

UGH, MIL's can be such a PITA; that is awful she said that to you.  Thankfully mine is okay most of the time but she's a child & family psychologist so every once in a while she puts her two cents in on our parenting choices, that's usually the worst I have to deal with.  Hopefully this baby will be her actual grandchild, gah! That is so terrible to say to someone.

I am already struggling with the team green thing but I think I can do it!  I know a LOT of people who have done it and they keep encouraging me so I think I can get through.  It's going to be tough though!  I think what will save me is the fact that there are only a few opportunities where I would be able to find out.
