Re: TTC Tuesday
How many weeks: 15 weeks
How are you feeling? Tired, but good. Insomnia is really setting in.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Not really much, but I'm starting to feel useless. I love that everyone cares, but seriously I'm not an invalid. We are painting the exterior of our house this weekend (weather permitting) and DH basically wants me just to feed the help and not help myself. He doesn't want me on ladders or too close to paint fumes. So, basically I can help plastic windows that are at ground level. I'm just going crazy, my mom is treating me the same way at the farm. I was born to work dang it!
How many weeks: 26!
How are you feeling? Still good!
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? My belly doubles in size every weekend... At least I feel like it. People are starting to be nice to me at the stores... Giving me carts, helping me reach thing, etc. It's a nice perk
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 23w3d
How are you feeling? great! really starting to be HUNGRY all. the. time.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I think I've popped...
I started taking prenatals while wedding planning. Rumor had it that would help my hair grow faster. Anyway, I continued to take them because it made my hair and nails healthier. As for brand I can't really help you, I'm not picky about brand.
Right now I'm on the gummies because the regular pills were too hard on my stomach during 1st tri. I don't recommend them unless you need something easier on your stomach as they are high in sugar.
How many weeks: 40w3d
How are you feeling? So uncomfortable! I walked way too much yesterday.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? This baby needs to come out NOW!
I didn't try it but this was highly recommended on my birth month board. A lot of girls said it was easier on the stomach.
ETA: Here is the link from when I asked my BMB about prenatals:

I'm still in shock and terrified something is going to go wrong! I should have started my period on Sunday after we got back and It didn't come, and I didn't have my usual wet CM right before it comes. So I tested super early on yesterday morning and started to freak out. I did two FRER because I couldn't believe it! I came out a hot mess bawling and DH was really worried. So much for doing anything cute!! I immediately started worrying about things I had done on vacation, which is why my crying probably didn't even look like happy tears at first. I tested on 11dpo before one of the excursions, and it was negative so I must have had a really late implantation. Once I heard from my dr that she isn't worried about those things and wasn't going to order early labs, I started to let myself get really excited. I'm going to be on pins and needles until our first US though and beating myself up if something does happen. It feels like an eternity away.
Seriously, the timing is nuts though. After 11 months, I was really skeptical it wasn't going to happen for a long time. I had an appointment with the dr to start talking about the IF testing tomorrow.......how crazy is that?! And I'm laughing about those friends telling me to just relax and it will happen; well I was the most stressed out I've ever been when I ovulated, between the house sale, family illnesses and other life things, and our vacation wasn't exactly the lay-on-the-beach sort of trip. It was nonstop and full of action and adventures. DH joked last night that it must have been a boy sperm to make it through all those adventures from the get-go. Haha
we aren't telling anyone until probably after that appointment but I'm already anxious to tell our families and friends! I guess I get to graduate to the different format now!!
How many weeks: 4w4d
How am I feeling: nothing feels different other than headaches the last two days, but I suspect that is more to do with being back at work and not having coffee now!
Rants/thoughts/bump pics: I just can't
believe it! I got out the spice jar of poppy seeds this morning and the size blew my mind. I just hope my poppy seed keeps growing and I can protect it.
OMG @Iwoehlk!!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!! What a good month. I'm so happy and excited for you!!
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 11 months this past sunday!
How do you feel? crappy, just had surgery to remove a chunk of skin from my back...i posted about this in another post...it hurts, i cant pick up anything heavier than 5lbs, i laughed at the dr when he said that....
Any Milestones this week? nothing to report
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? i updated my siggy the other day!
How many weeks: 9 weeks
How are you feeling? Upset stomach is still around but otherwise not bad.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I go to the doctor tomorrow for another dating US and tons of bloodwork.
W2O or 2WW? W2O
Testing plans: n/a
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: H is going away for a wetlands course next week and won't get back until June 20th, which is around when I'm ovulating. I'm hoping we actually have a shot at TTC this month!
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 31 weeks
How are you feeling? Tired. Walking at work is getting more exhausting. Also, the lack of air conditioning is getting hard. The air is so heavy and I am so sticky at the end of the day. I only have 3 weeks left of work, I can make it!
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Went to the doctor yesterday and everything is on schedule
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 35 weeks tomorrow!!!
How are you feeling? Tiring very easily! I feel like a need a nap all the time. He seems to be sitting very high at times and I feel him pushing basically right under my boobs...very uncomfortable! The past two days he feels like he is banging on the drums down low while also marching in a band up high...very annoying lol
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Tomorrow starts my weekly dr appts. Next scan is scheduled for 3 weeks to check size of baby again. 4 weeks left of work if I make it that long!
Mommies:
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 3 and 1!!
How do you feel? Alright. Very tired, just found out I am anemic again, probably bcs of nursing as I still haven't had AF
Any Milestones this week? DD is walking fully now and only crawls when she is playing around and DS has learned all of his sizes (small, large and medium) so he is sizing everything. DD has also started self-weaning and it is really bittersweet but I am so proud to have made it this far and to have left the decision to her to be finished
