Pregnant People

Can you please talk to me about being pregnant? I'm sad for the lack of details on your part.

Have you told all of your family and friends yet? How did you tell them?

Have you decided whether you'll find out the sex? Do you have a 'feeling'?

Have you started to look at furniture yet?

How are you feeling? Mentally and physically....

 

And tell me other things :)

Re: Pregnant People

  • I stopped sharing a detail every day because I figured you guys were probably getting sick of it! ha. but i'm happy to answer questions:)

     

    Can you please talk to me about being pregnant? I'm sad for the lack of details on your part.

    Have you told all of your family and friends yet? How did you tell them? we haven't shared our news with many people yet. My mom and sisters know. my younger sister confirmed my + on the pee stick since Ben was out of town and I just called my older sister and blurted it out. she knows what we've been going through.  I told my mom on her birthday. I said i'm sorry I didn't send you a card but I have a cool gift for you, You're going to be a grandma again!

    My MIL and FIL know and I just said guess what, mabel and ratchet are getting a brother or sister. My MIL understood right away, my FIL I had to clarify that we wern't getting another dog and his response was, you're knocked up?! and then he looked at my belly like there would be something there.

    My SIL and BIL Cindy and Kenny know, but not the crazy SIL and BIL. I've decided i'd like to wait to tell them as long as possible.

    and thats it. I haven't told friends (except you girls) or work.

    we'll tell my grandparents after we get our NT scan results next wednesday. and my grandpa will make that news spread like a wildfire!

    Have you decided whether you'll find out the sex? Do you have a 'feeling'? I have no feeling one way or the other. we will find out, but only because Ben wants to. I would prefer we not find out.

    Have you started to look at furniture yet? kind of, but not really. its still way early.

    How are you feeling? Mentally and physically.... really good. I was struggling for a while with feeling like everything could go OK with the pregnancy, and some days I still feel like i'm waiting for the ball to drop. we got pregnant naturally so something else will go wrong.

    physically I feel great. between weeks like 6-9 I was really tired and had a bit of nausea right after I woke up, but that has pretty much passed. I'm still tired at the end of the day but not like I can't keep my eyes open.  my worst symptom is constipation and bloating. I can't believe that at almost 12 I have a bloat bump.

    other: I have an appt. with my OB this morning, its my first!

    I had the bloodwork done for my NT done last week and the ultrasound is next wednesday. so i'm nervous about this and am praying for a healthy baby. after this i'm released from the RE!!!

    and here is a photo of me at 11 weeks 4 days, which is today. because I totally forgot to take one at 11 weeks and now i'm almost to 12 weeks so I figured better late than never? my belly isn't flat any more like it used to be, and my ass is definetly growing, no matter how much I work out!

  • Yup me either. I am still so damn excited that you are pregnant, I want to hear everything!
  • haha OK, I'll share all the details!

    just got back from my OB appt. it was fine, I love my midwife:) baby's hb was at 158 which is normal, it usually hangs out between 158-168. the anatomy scan will be at the very beginning of January!!

  • I love the updates!! :)

     

  • I too love pregnancy updates!  You still look so tiny...I definitely had a bump before 12 weeks!  Is Ben dead set on finding out what you're having?  I went back and forth with whether or not we would find out...and I'm so glad we didn't!  Glad your appointment went well...can't wait to hear more and more as you get further along!

  • I'll humor everyone as well!

    Have you told all of your family and friends yet? How did you tell them? Everyone knows now! I told my parents within a week of us finding out, and we told the ILs about a week or two after that. MIL then went and told the rest of H's family and I was annoyed, lol. I had also told my 3 closest girlfriends and then 2 friends from work... I have big mouth apparently, lol. I announced at work on Halloween... Via my costume shown in picture below! So now everyone knows and it's like a giant weight off my shoulders!

    Have you decided whether you'll find out the sex? Do you have a 'feeling'?
    We are def finding out! My appt is scheduled the morning of NYE, that feels like forever far away so I'm trying to find an elective ultrasound place where I can find it sooner. I'm 13 weeks now, so maybe in another 2-3 weeks if I'm lucky???? I have feeling it might be a girl, but who knows.. Guess I have a 50% chance of being right!

    Have you started to look at furniture yet?
    Not really, I think I'm still in denial :)

    How are you feeling? Mentally and physically....

    I'm feeling pretty good! Just feel kind fat and gross and most of my clothes don't fit right. Mentally I feel like things anger me more easily!! Lol ala amcourt.. I understand now!

    Have you ever seen the Gilmore Girls? When Sookie & Jackson had their first baby, Jackson didn't want to know, but Sookie did. So she found out & there was this super cute scene where she took Lorelai out to the garage to show her all the boy stuff she bought. Meanwhile, Jackson was walking around wearing a button that read, "I do not want to know the sex of my baby."

  • uderin02 I'm not obvs showing yet but the timing worked out pretty well for a Halloween reveal!

    People were getting on my nerves though
    .. Like they would whisper to me and ask if I was pregnant! Was I going to wear something like that then be like, "oh no! I'm not knocked up! I'll just getting fat!". People are dumb.

    People are stupid. One of the docs I work with came up to me and said " I didn't know you were pregnant, I just asked so-and-so why you were gaining so much weight in one area". Wow thanks dumba$$.
