mrs. green - how far along are you? If it makes you feel better, I'm 8 weeks today and only symptoms I have are slightly sore breasts and I'm a bit emotional. It's actually pretty funny but my #1 symptom has been that I want to watch baseball on TV all the time, even though I don't really like baseball. I cry for whichever pitcher starts to blow the game, haha!

I think my job is pretty stressful, too. I'm going to start doing prenatal yoga to help alleviate some stress. Other than that I'm just trying not to care as much as I used to. It's not easy to do, but I keep thinking how the baby's health and development is so much more important than any work stuff that comes up. When I'm gone from work for a day or two, the world keeps on turning and the business keeps on running.

Chi- I'm only just over 5 weeks. So I know it's a little early for symptoms. But after this morning I see I am a little more emotional haha!

I'm definitely working on not letting stuff get to me just so much easier said than done! lol

Oh totally - I still have my good days and bad days with work-related stress! Just trying not to let it get to an overwhelming point. If I feel things building up I try to take break and go for a quick walk!

Mrs. - My job is stressful (I work in divorce) and honestly I just try to breathe through it and let it go. Like chi I've been keeping the baby's health in mind and realizing she's more important than some idiot attorney who just wants to yell at someone.

 

[froggyfrog]

Ttc, you called the baby a she...does that mean girl vibes?

This made me giggle. The other night I was watching a live feed on Facebook of the NY Mets 86 World Series team reunion. All it was was the players coming off their bus and I say there and BAWLED my eyes out!!!

Hey everyone, sorry I'm also rubbish at posting! I've been reading everyone's updates. Keeping you all in my thoughts. Today I went for my reassurance scan, I was super anxious but all looks great with a healthy heartbeat and measuring absolutely correct! 8w2d (she said 1d but I'm sticking with 2 ) Hooray! I got a lovely picture which I'll try and post as beside my little baby there's a really weird face like image which is really annoying me when I'm trying to focus on our little baby! How do I post a picture? I've googled it but no joy!

Ttc, you called the baby a she...does that mean girl vibes?

Yes!!! I'm 99% convinced that the baby is a she. FH is 100% sure it's a boy lol. Should be interesting to see in a few weeks.

 

[Sunshine Star]

Here is our wee baby bean...I'm so grateful and feeling incredibly blessed everything is ok. But the strange ghostly figure is annoying me! Can you guys see it?

 

[vrogers]

What an adorable little bean, sunshine! I do see the creepy looking "face", so weird!

AFM, I've only been throwing up every other day. Otherwise I'm just tired all the time and dealing with a small amount of nausea/loss of appetite. I have my second scan Thursday when I'll be a day away from 8 weeks and I'm SO nervous.

Hope everyone else is feeling well and had a good Memorial Day weekend!

Ok, so my Dr. appointment went pretty good. I got my first blood results 933! Which my Dr. said is very promising! He said not to worry about the spotting unless it gets heavier like with my last miscarriage. The spotting has stopped! I will get a 2nd draw this week, and I think it will be good! I was checking my cervix because I am so nervous about having another miscarriage. But today, I had morning sickness for the first time! I might be the only person in the world that is happy about morning sickness! But to me, it makes me feel like everything is going the right way! I woke up at 5am and had to throw up, went back to bed and woke up an hour later and had to run to the bathroom again... so happy to have some real symptoms! Maybe I can start to relax and enjoy this pregnancy! Thank you ladies for all the positive words, it really helped me keep my cool! (except for crying at the doctors office, lol!)

 

[froggyfrog]

I'm so relieved for you 808! I was getting worried that we haven't heard from you yet. I'm so glad all is well! And I feel the same as you do about symptoms. I haven't thrown up, but really feel like it would reassure me that everything is going good in there while I wait for my ultrasound

 

[TTCBabyG2015]

Sunshine - what a great scan!!!

V - sorry you're not feeling well, hope it gets better soon!

808 - sounds like you had a great doctors visit and baby is doing great. Glad the spotting stopped.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Sunshine- what an adorable baby! And ya I see that weird shadow too... Odd...

Vr- at least it's only every other day! lol hope it gets better soon.

808- soooo glad your appointment went well! I hope everything keeps getting better and better.

Ttc- I love that your instinct says girl! I hope you're right!

So ttcbabyg got me thinking. Does anyone else have an instinct what they're having? And anyone team green or team yellow and not finding out?

 

[TTCBabyG2015]

I give so much credit to the couples who can hold out. I don't think I could do it.

What are you thinking Mrs? Boy or girl?

 

[808malia]

My husband and I both think it's gonna be a boy! How about you?

 

[mrs.green2015]

I'm kind of leaning towards boy but I think it's because my DH is 100% convinced it's a boy. Lol were most likely team green though!
DH also was convinced it's twins but I don't think he is anymore... I'm not sure. But I'm 100% sure it's only one baby in there.

 

[froggyfrog]

Since we genetically tested our embryos, in was able to find out sooner. I was so convinced for the first week that it was a girl. We were supposed to do a gender reveal, but once I had them write it down, and put it in an envelope, I knew that wasn't going to happen. As soon as dh got home that night we opened it lol.

 

[TTCBabyG2015]

Aww you never know Mrs! When is your scan?

Froggy - I give you credit for waiting that long loll. I would of been sneaking looks in the envelope.
