10 weeks today and my baby is now the size of a prune!LOL Love ticker change day!!! I'm feeling big and bloated. I am up 4 pounds in total (weighed in at my prenatal appt yesterday). Nausea still lingering around. Exhaustion is lifting though. 20 days until my big scan!!

I love ticker change day too. So at least I know on Sunday I'll be a prune

I love ticker change day too. Pleased to hear your exhaustion is getting better and hopefully your nausea will too soon.

Hey guys! How's everyone feelin today? Been dealing with husband drama mostly. So it'll be nice when life is good again in that respect so I can enjoy this pregnancy more. Ok I'm going to buy a doppler! Meant to last week! But went to the store instead to get one... but then I didn't like the one they had... and then it was the holiay wknd. Oops!

I've got myself a doppler, just waiting for it to come through the post (very impatiently I might add)! Have you tried Ebay hun?

I haven't decided if I want a doppler or not yet. But, ebay is awesome. I bought a bunch of maternity clothes on there not too long ago. How's everyone feeling? I'm the same- mostly just exhausted, though I have had a couple of decent days as far as that's concerned. My nausea comes and goes, and I have a hard time eating much for dinner because I go to bed a few hours later and still feel SO full.

Good news- I graduated from my fertility specialist's office yesterday. Hooray! I called and booked my first appointment with my OBGYN's office for December 13th we will be 11w5d then. I think it's just for a physical exam mostly, and medical history. Don't think we'll have an u/s then. I just got one yesterday so it's okay. It was awesome- we got to see the baby move for the first time and it was just amazing. It looked like he/she was clapping. I can't wait until the next u/s!

iv been lucky with no MS so far, feel very at times but if I eat little and often iv been feeling much better, nothing like my previous 2 pregnancies. I am also very tired! been in bed by 9pm most nights lol

 

[Groovychick]

well ladies had my first ultrasound yesterday and my new due date is July 2nd. got moved a week back was kinda disappointed since i was excited to be 10 weeks but seeing my little peanut and hearing a good strong heartbeat(172 bpm) def put my mind at ease.

I know what you mean. I'm in the same boat as you... just very nauseous and it comes and goes. Seems to be getting a little bit better. And I rarely make it to 9PM now... 8 pm is my normal bed time for the last five weeks.

As long as the little one is looking good, it really doesn't matter when your EDD is. Mine is June 30th right now, but even a shift of one day will send me into July. So glad you got to see the little one... it's amazing, isn't it?

 

[Groovychick]

How is everyone feeling today? Got a huge bout of nausea this morning just after breakfast but it seems to have mostly gone now thank goodness! Feeling my tummy every morning and there is the tiniest hint of a bump developing! Also listened to LO's HB with the doppler last night; amazing!

 

[jen1019]

Groovychick- not feeling too hot today. Woke up with a pounding headache and nausea. Really wish I wasn't at work today as I have a LOT to do... but, hanging in there. Picked up some really healthy snacks so we will see if I'm able to get some of them down or not. Also, DH's oldest niece will be coming over tonight and staying over- she's in her early twenties, just recently had a breakup with her BF of two years, and had a bad fight with her mom. We'll be going to dinner and treating her, so that will be nice. I love her to pieces, but I'm exhausted already and hope I'm not a horrible host Will be so happy when 5pm is here!

How is everyone else today? Anyone else ever check out the pregnancy vlogs on Youtube?

 

[Groovychick]

Hope you feel better soon Jen.

Not heard of the pregnancy vlogs; what are they all about?

 

[libbyam2003]

ProudArmyWife - Ugh hate to be moved back like that... but better to know super early so you get used to new due date and not all frustrated at the end to be 'late'.

Jen - Jealous you have family to hang out with like that! For me, its just PIL... love my MIL but wish I had some younger family nearby! Have fun!! Hope she is able to get cheered up!

Had an appt yesterday. Boring though. I did get to hear hb. But big appt is Jan 3... gender scan!! But good to know sprout is doing good still... can't really tell on my own!

I'm not feeling too badly now, but woke up with a migraine this morning and could only take Tylenol and drank a Dr Pepper for some caffeine. It took a bit of the edge off... definitely thinking I had some type of hormonal surge because of how I was feeling Friday, and waking up to a migraine. Not the best way to start the weekend!

Pregnancy vlogs are basically just pregnancy video blogs where ladies talk about their pregnancies week to week. I like watching them to see how the pregnancies progress, and just because I think it's fun to relate to the ladies on them. A way to keep myself up til at least 8 or 8:30 some nights lol

Yeah, we are pretty lucky as far as family. I think it cheered her up a bit, she only teared up as she was about to leave saying that she hopes everything works out with him. It's hard to see her like that-- but I think it's hard to see anyone that we care about with a broken heart. We also have my sister and her family, they live about an hour away and she's got three little ones under three so that's always entertaining

How's everyone doing today? I woke up with a migraine so had a lazy morning, then picked up my lawaway came back home and did some more lazy. Took a nap for two or three hours this afternoon. We are getting ready to head out in a bit to meet some friends (that don't know we're pregnant) at a bar and grill. So that's the reason for the late nap today, though they would be lovely every day. I'm looking forward to seeing them but we are going out at my normal bedtime so we will see how we do. We were going to wait until 12 weeks to tell friends but we might tell them Just need to let them know no FB talk til 12 weeks. Well, off to throw on a bit of makeup ladies. Hope everyone is hanging in there!

 

[libbyam2003]

Jen, hope you had fun! how'd the late dinner go? Ugh I am so tired lately... went to bed around 8 last night!

Not much going on for me, prego-wise.

 

[jen1019]

Libby- It was great! Though, my headache did start coming back later on and we were out til 1 am. I was not functioning at all yesterday, all I did was lay around. Cannot handle that late of a night, even with naps. But it was awesome to see some friends-- we announced to some of them, and they were so happy because they know we struggled to get pregnant for so long. I am getting antsy for 2 weeks to roll around to officially announce on FB. And don't feel bad, my normal bedtime the last 6 weeks or so has been 8-8:30

 

[Groovychick]

Tiredness is very prevalent for me too! I try to nap during my little girl's nap time as if I don't, I really struggle to stay awake during the later part of the day. Hopefully, the 2nd tri will bring with it renewed energy!

I am so jealous of you being able to sneak in naps during the day! I work 8:30-5 so by the time that I get home and we have dinner, it's after 6-6:30. Which may be why I am in bed by around 8:30 every night Hopefully we all get some energy soon!

 

[Groovychick]

 

[libbyam2003]

Yup, with Siena, I was working 730-5, so I'd get home and try to eat before or after I laid in the tub... then go to bed! Now, I work 630-3, so going to bed at 9 is normal pre-prego! So now bedtime is creeping to 8, ha. Oh how I love my weekend naps... but, I must admit, weekends with my toddler are A LOT more tiring than being at work!

 

[jen1019]

Libby- I'm usually at work before 8, and the days just seem SO long. I look forward to the weekend even more than usual because I try to sleep in where I can, and take a nap or two. I have vacation from Dec 21-Jan 2nd... I cannot wait... so I can sleep! I do understand how tiring kids can be. Hang in there, girlie.

 

[libbyam2003]

Jen - Hopefully you are close to getting out of the fatigue part of pregnancy! I didn't notice it as much this time around, but more because I was already tired pre-prego. But definitely trying to listen to my body and sleep extra when I can now. I have a co-worker who was asking me about what to get for a nursery etc and now because I said my baby didn't sleep in her own room until she was 6 months, she's saying she won't bother working on the nursery until later! I tried explaining she won't have the TIME to do all that once the baby gets here, but she wouldn't listen, lol.

 

[jen1019]

Libby- we moved into a two bedroom apartment at the end of summer to "be prepared" as we had been trying for a while. There is so much odds and ends stuff in there-- after Christmas we really need to focus our time on going through it, putting away what we can, and getting rid of what we don't need. We haven't talked too much about the nursery... we have avoided talk of that and names until we hit 12 weeks, and it'll be easier once we know what we are having. What do you think are the staples to have in the nursery? We obviously will be having baby in the bassinet for 3-6 months.

 

[libbyam2003]

Well this is baby #2 for me and DH was confused when I told him a couple weeks ago that I was going shopping to look at baby cribs etc. He hadn't realized we'd need to buy furniture again! I was like 'uh, what did you think we would do with the new baby??' And he left the room and came back with a laundry hamper, lol. Guys don't think about stuff haha. I'm not in as big a rush this time... and I'm trying to be more concious of the room size... last time I got a long dresser to use as a changing table. But that takes up a lot of space! So this time I'm getting a dresser that not as long but still will fit a changing pad on top and then a lamp and such later. Nightstand... we didn't end up needing ours last time... But with a shorter dresser, I might get a small table for a lamp for next to the rocker/glider, making sure the table will match stuff elsewhere in the house later. Also, glider will come from Siena's room.. but should have got a more nuetral color as I'll need to get it recovered in order for it to work in any other room besides hers! Also on the lookout for a bookcase or something like that to store toys in bins and books. Right now, Siena's room has a slim book rack and baskets for toys, which works. But would rather have more of the stuff all in one place if I can figure it out.
