How far along are you? 13w0d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Still have bad ms but I've been able to keep more fluids down and some food since my ER visit last week.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? Just want MS to be over with.

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Next appt 1/13!

QOTW: What would be your dream vacation? I would love to go to Bora Bora or Fuji!

[madamewaffles]

lovegrilledcheese, I hope that MS goes away soon!!

How far along are you? 14w5d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Pretty good. I am up 3-4 times a night to pee now, but I've been managing pretty well. Emotionally, I'm okay. Early 2nd tri is kind of a mindfuck because the symptoms wane a lot and it's hard to get past that sometimes.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? I wish I could have one of those conveyor belts like on the Jetsons that you just ride through and it cleans, dresses, and gets you ready for the day because DNW to do anything lately.

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Next appointment is not until 1/21 - regular OB appointment and hopefully anatomy scan a week or two later!

QOTW: What would be your dream vacation? Tropical destination please!! Seychelles or Maldives and lots o' frozen fruity drinks. Cabana boy is a must as well.

How far along are you? 10w and change

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Feeling much better since last week. The abx helped quite a bit, although I'm worried I still have a sinus infection lingering. Pregnancy-wise, starting to feel better. I still have days where I feel nauseous, but I've noticed those are typically associated with being sleep-deprived and/or being too busy to eat every hour or two. Emotionally, still maintaining pretty well.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? Rave: My DH is a saint. My car has been smelling like rotten milk from DD drinking (and spilling) milk in her car seat and on the backseat. We have a long commute and there's unfortunately no way to avoid having milk in the car. And she's apparently a future softball player and throws it all over the backseat when she's done, with enough force to make even spill proof sippy cups leak. DH is currently scrubbing the snot out of the back seat, car seat, and car seat mat. I love that man.

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? 12 week appt on 1/18, NT scan on 1/19

QOTW: What would be your dream vacation? Somewhere remote and tropical, preferably in one of those over-the-water huts.

Thanks for making the badge madamewaffles! I love it!

How far along are you? 11w3d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Physically I just keep getting sicker (I didn't think it was possible). I've been dealing with constant, all day morning sickness since week 6 but over the past week I now have peaks at night where I am consistently throwing up and feeling like I'm about to pass out. I'm definitely talking to my OB about it on Friday's appointment because I have having a lot of trouble functioning. Emotionally, just struggling with not being able to devote as much time or attention to DD because I'm sick all the time.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? I have repeatedly told DH that until this MS clears up he needs to take over the dish washing duties because while I stand there doing it at night I end up needing to puke. He's acknowledged that but then leaves dishes for 3-4 days! Which doesn't help the smell issue and means dishes are everywhere.

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? 12 week appt. on Friday.

QOTW: What would be your dream vacation? I would love to do the Seychelles or somewhere exotic/beach one day but that may have to stay a dream!

[feisty]

How far along are you?
 11 weeks 5 days (I think)


How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)?
  awful, but not pregnancy related.  I"ve had a cough for the last 3 weeks and congestion since last Thursday and woke up today with an ear infection I'm pretty sure.  I'm pretty miserable currently.  Woke up at 3:30 and havent' been able to go back to sleep.  Hope to get into dr today.


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



Any upcoming milestones or appointments?
  I also have appointment with MFM for NT ultrasound and bloodwork this morning. I'm going to try to go even though I'm a mess.


QOTW: What would be your dream vacation? FIJI!  although maybe with a nanny for my 2 year old

[sarcaztic10]

How far along are you? 10 w 2 d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Physically the same, nausea, heartburn, exhaustion, and constipation. Emotionally I am feeling a bit better since I got my doppler and was able to find LO's heartbeat. I am going to try to locate it again tonight.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? I found the HB on Saturday and I am so happy to know that I have made it past my last loss milestone!

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? I just have a regular OB appt on Thursday. I am going to try to get a quick u/s after it but we will see.

QOTW: What would be your dream vacation? Going to Tahiti, Belize, or Fiji to a really peaceful resort or secluded beach house and just relaxing for several days. I would either want to leave DS with my mom and dad or have them come with us.

[sarcaztic10]

ellebelle, I have the same problem with my H and the dishes except that is his dedicated job around the house and has been for the last few years! I know he is busy but I just want the dishes to be done and at this point I just cant pick up the slack!

feisty, GL with your NT scan!

prvc678, your vacation sounds an awful lot like my vacation!

lovegrilledcheese, I really hope the MS clears up for you soon!

madamewaffles, I am glad to hear that I am not the only one getting up a ton to pee at night. I get up about 2-3 times right now and 1st tri exhaustion still hasn't gone away.

[jenn83]

How far along are you? 12w 4d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Physically a little off. I have lost almost 5.5 lbs since getting pregnant which is the complete opposite of what I did with DS. My PGAL brain keeps getting the best of me saying this is not normal but I do know that in some cases it is. I am also carrying differently. It was about this time that I had a small basket ball stomach with DS and now it is just all over. Darn wishy washy emotions.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? Eh - nothing really at the moment.

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Yesterday was Super T's 2nd angelversary. While it wasn't as hard as the first year, it was hard in a different way since he has been gone longer than he was alive and that is hard to accept. We did put a positive spin on it and announced on social media that we were expecting with a picture of 4 pairs of shoes on the deck of our boat and the following "Exactly 2 years since we said goodbye, our hearts continue to hurt daily. But we know that Super T is smiling down on us and proud. DH and I are excited to announce that Super T is being promoted to big brother status in July 2016!!!"

QOTW: What would be your dream vacation? H and I are definitely tropical people but I would also love to travel Europe and Asia - though I don't know if I would be able to make the flight with H. He is so fidgety on flights I would want to strangle him by the end lol.

[ellebelle]

Aww I love that bittersweet announcement jenn83.
