How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? I'm still pretty sick from ms. I spent all morning puking. Emotionally I'm having a hard time today. Today was my EDD of my previous loss.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? Not right now

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Just waiting on genetic results that should be back by 1/1.

QOTW: Do you have any holiday plans this year? Do you follow any traditions? This year we aren't doing much. We decided to stay put and my MIL is coming to us for Xmas. We are going to the nutcracker next Sun so I'm excited for that.

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? So sick. Which means I upped drinking orange juice. This morning woke up thinking I had a uti....nope just to much citric acid in my urine. Asked what cough meds and cough drops I could take. Hopefully soon I won't feel so shitty.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? Just above.

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Next appointments are January 15 & 20th.

QOTW: Do you have any holiday plans this year? Do you follow any traditions?

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Still feeling nauseous and constipated. The nausea is at least controlled by the Diclegis.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? None

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Next ultrasound is on Wednesday and I am really hoping it goes well.

QOTW: Do you have any holiday plans this year? Do you follow any traditions? We don't really have any specific traditions. We will be staying at home for Christmas. I would love to go home but it's just too far away. So we will be doing the early morning present opening with DS and then take a nap in the afternoon.

How far along are you? 9w3d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Still dealing with constant, all day morning sickness. Just trying to function through it all is exhausting me and work has been insane lately so I've been either working or asleep.

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? My next appt. is January 8th. At least the holidays will be a good distraction in the mean time.

QOTW: Do you have any holiday plans this year? Do you follow any traditions? We alternate Christmases with my family and DH's. This year we're with my family and honestly I'm glad because they live much closer and I am not up for a long trip right now. We'll go to church on Christmas Eve and then presents Christmas morning. Otherwise we're low key, and I'm hoping I can get lots of sleep while home.

How far along are you? 8w5d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Aside from the start of a cold, pretty good physically. No major nausea, which of course makes me a little nervous. Emotionally, I still feel sort of detached from the pregnancy, but hoping a good next ultrasound will help with that.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? This is my first PGAL check in here after several previous losses. It is not a fun place to be, but I'm glad to have support.

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Made it past three milestones--just need to get past the next ultrasound (12/30) @10 weeks and I will feel so much better.

QOTW: Do you have any holiday plans this year? Do you follow any traditions? Traveling to see family that live a few hours away. Hoping to make it home in time for Christmas Eve dinner--my grandmother makes a few Polish dishes that I only ever have around Christmas.
