First appointment plans/results: Had a quick appointment today with a GP and got my first scan date for 11 July.
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice): I still have some cramping happening. Some minor nausea at night, and minor boob pain. I'm really trying to focus on being pregnant but my PGAL brain is at war with that.
Any U/S, bump pics: nothing yet!
Bonus GTKY: What's on the schedule for the rest of summer? Any vacations planned? 4th of July plans? Tell us all the fun things you've got going on.
It's winter for me. I want to do a big purge of our storage. So exciting, haha! There's a big world food market coming up that I was looking forward too. Possibly give it a miss now that I am expecting

EDD: 2/7/17 confirmed by ultrasound last week
How many weeks today: 6w6d
First appointment plans/results: First US was great last week. Saw the little bean, and had a HR of 142. My first appointment with my OB is 1 week from today.
How ya feeling: Morning sickness has reared its ugly head. It's not consistent which I'm grateful for--but I hate it anyway. Other than that I'm just really bloated. And I could sleep anywhere at any time.
Any US or bump pics: I do it's just not much to look at.
GTKY: I have a bachelorette party in two weekends (kinda dreading), a few first birthday parties, a wedding in August and I am taking a week off in August to go visit my parents. That's about it!
First appointment plans/results: My first appointment is Wednesday!
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice): Super nauseated all.the.time. I also feel like my pants don't fit anymore.
Any U/S, bump pics: nope
Bonus GTKY: What's on the schedule for the rest of summer? Any vacations planned? 4th of July plans? Tell us all the fun things you've got going on. My sister is visiting for July 4. We have a zoo membership and visit weekly. We are planning a vacation, but the location is TBD. (We were going to go to sesame place near Philly, but DS is terrified of all characters, etc.) We will go camping with my parents and do a few fun things as a family of 3.

I'm excited for first appointments coming up!
EDD: 2/23
How many weeks today: 4w4d
First appointment plans/results: Third beta is this Wednesday, first ultrasound is next Wednesday.
How ya feeling: I feel great. My symptoms are pretty mild: very tender breasts, light cramps, increased hunger, increased sense of smell, and sleepiness earlier in the evening than before. Enough to tell me I'm pregnant but not enough to bother me.
Any U/S, bump pics: No. I need to do a "before" shot but I'm not posting it until I'm huge later on
Bonus GTKY: My life is kinda nuts right now. I'm interviewing for two jobs this week. We also have to move out of our current apartment by the end of July. We will be living with my parents in another state and trying to buy a house. I'm also finishing school in August which is pretty exciting. We'll go somewhere for a week after I'm done. I can't wait until things settle down a bit.
Feeling pretty good, tired but I'm always tired chasing after my busy almost 11 month old! I'm so curious to see if this pregnancy will be similar to my last, which was relatively comfortable and easy. We shall see!
I still have to make my appointment, hopefully will get in next week to confirm and get in with my OB soon.
No pics yet!
This summer isn't too busy since I'm returning to work at the beginning of August. We have a week away with friends and their kids the week before I go back. The first weekend of July we are going camping with the ILs which I'm looking forward to!
First appointment plans/results: first ob and u/s scheduled for next Monday! 6/27. So, so excited. And nervous. H wants me to pee on a stick before we go to confirm its still there so we aren't devastated if there's no HB on the u/s. We will see.
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice): lord, my boobs hurt. My scrub tops are getting tight by my chest area bc of my boobs. I even wore one of my smaller bras last night and they felt so tight! Also, ik tired. I nap every day. But last week I couldn't, for th life of me, sleep straight through the day. I would wake up after a few hours. I'm hoping that has passed. Still gassy - maybe bloated? Idk the difference lol. And I have to pee ALL THE DAMN TIME!
Any U/S, bump pics: nothing yet-- next week!!!
Bonus GTKY: What's on the schedule for the rest of summer? Any vacations planned? 4th of July plans? Tell us all the fun things you've got going on.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I think notagoddess & I have the same body. Literally everything she wrote.
Any U/S, bump pics: I took a "before" picture on Saturday just to have something to compare to, but there's literally nothing there.

Well I took my vacation in May. So just some long weekends for me - luckily I get every other Friday off until the end of September My birthday is July 4th so I took off a couple extra days around that as well. I will take off more time once the house is closer to being finished so I can pack & move. I might take a staycation as well. My job is very generous when it comes to vacation days & I think I have like 17 days left to take between now and October not including my Fridays off. So I'll try to fit that in at some point!

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I threw up randomly yesterday morning but doing okay. I need to be careful about how much I eat. I can already feel my stomach changing.
Any U/S, bump pics: none yet
Bonus GTKY: What's on the schedule for the rest of summer? Any vacations planned? 4th of July plans? Tell us all the fun things you've got going on. We have plans to go to Colorado for a week probably the first week in July to see family. I'm looking forward to it
Feeling: alright, some breast tenderness, lots of bloating, mild nausea and food aversions, and occasional cramping/ muscle twinges.
Appts: none yet. I'm still too chicken shit to call. UPDATED: July 18 @ 9w5d
Pics: no
Summer plans: between working on the house renovations, we have some trips to the zoo and airfield planned. We live right on Lake Michigan, so there'll be lots of beach time. Also trying to plan trips to Mackinaw Island and Chicago at some point. I'd love to do a waterfall camping tour in the upper peninsula, but not sure we'll have time for it this year.

First appointment plan/results: ultrasound and first appointment scheduled for July 8th!
How ya feeling: bloated beyond bloated, cramping started today which I hate, it always makes me nervous but I know it's part of the process. I can't tell if I'm truly tired already or if it's just from chasing my toddler around haha
Any U/S, bump pics: none yet!
GTKY: I am on vacation from July 1-8 so we are probably going to take the little guy to the zoo during that time and maybe do some other fun activities with him!!
First appointment plans/results: Second beta is tomorrow. Early ultrasound probably the first week of July. OB intake the last week of July.
How ya feeling: Not much yet. DH and I talked about baby names, but I'm withholding that info for now. Since I couldn't eat garlic or onions last pregnancy, I'm trying to eat all my favorite foods that contain those.
Any U/S, bump pics: I need to re-figure out how to post photos.
Bonus GTKY: What's on the schedule for the rest of summer? Any vacations planned? 4th of July plans? Tell us all the fun things you've got going on. Our annual vacation to Colorado to visit friends is mid-July. That's all we have planned.

EDD:
How many weeks today: 5 weeks even!
First appointment plans/results: see below
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I have to pee about every 30- 40 minutes. Not too dramatic, but I'm very aware of the timing since I'm at work and feel like ppl are thinking geez get to work bathroom hog! And I'm pretty drowsy later in the day, hence why I almost fell asleep on my in-laws couch last night. Also, calling it pregnancy brain already- sending out forms I haven't stamped, forgetting who's on what committees at work ?
Any U/S, bump pics: 3 weeks till this.

EDD: 2/16/17
How many weeks today: 5w4d
First appointment plans/results: No official appt yet. I had another round of beta testing today... will probably get the results tomorrow. 2 Mondays ago I was 47, last Monday I was 624. So far so good!
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) So far so good. Every now and again, usually on am empty stomach I'll get a wave of nausea but it'll pass after a minute. I think my boobs are slightly slightly bigger, but not sore. I'm super tired... but I feel like i've been tired since I was pregnant with DS! lol.
Any U/S, bump pics: Not yet but once my betas are high enough they'll do a dating ultrasound
Bonus GTKY: What's on the schedule for the rest of summer? Any vacations planned? 4th of July plans? Tell us all the fun things you've got going on. I'm working summer school ... boo... good money though! I'm also traveling to Oregon for my brother's wedding in August. It's going to be super expensive which is why I'm doing summer school. Can't wait though, I've never been to the west coast. I am nervous about flying with DS. He'll be 2 years + 4 months.... non stop flight so about 6-7 hours in a plane. Eek...
EDD: 2/8/17 (based on my estimation--longer cycles and I don't know my O date)
How many weeks today: 6w5d
First appointment plans/results: My first appointment with my OB is 6/29 and I'll also have a dating ultrasound
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice): Been pretty nauseated lately, but no throwing up. Also really tired, but I think a lot of it has to do with DD not sleeping great, and lately even when really tired, I just can fall asleep at night.
Any U/S, bump pics: None yet.
Bonus GTKY: What's on the schedule for the rest of summer? Any vacations planned? 4th of July plans? Tell us all the fun things you've got going on.
For the Fourth, my parents own a lake house nearby and we will spend the weekend there. It's always a lot of family and tons of fun. I have a feeling my news will be found out at that point, but I'm okay with that.
In late July we are planning on driving to Santa Fe for vacation for about a week with DD. We were wanting something drivable and inexpensive, so it fits the bill. I've never been, so we'll do the artsy stuff and probably some hiking around. It will be nice to get away. If any of you have ever been and have any recommendations, I'd love to hear them!

First appointment plans/results: First appointment is 7/14
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) OMG the nausea is awful. I had a bad nausea with J, too. And some bloat for sure, but nothing awful. A little crampy, but again, nothing awful.
Any U/S, bump pics: Nah. No one wants to see my beer gut
Bonus GTKY: What's on the schedule for the rest of summer? Any vacations planned? 4th of July plans? Tell us all the fun things you've got going on. Oh man, we're busy this summer with cookouts and parties, which is fun but I'm nervous about the absence of drinking. We're meeting my parents for a belated Father's Day celebration next weekend, and I'm forced to tell them we're expecting. We were supposed to take my dad to a beer garden... Oops!
No real 4th of July plans. We'll probably cook out at home. We have a big pig roast on the 16th that I'm really excited about. Then, trips to the beach in July and August with family. Plus a baptism in August.

First appt plan: I should be able to schedule my first on Friday or Monday.
Feeling: nausea when I go more than an hour without eating, diarrhea, really bad gas, and bloating. I am already having trouble buttoning my pants so I may have to switch to some maternity clothes here in the next couple weeks. I've had some on and off cramping, hoping its RLP and not a bad sign.

GTKY: Not much planned. We are visiting my parents for the 4th to shoot off some fireworks. After my work training is up, DH and I are going to take a little road trip through Western CO.
First appointment plans/results: June 30 with dating ultrasound. Trying not to dread this. I don't want to get too excited till we see something beating on the screen.
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Just tired, hungry, and thirsty all the time. If I didn't track my periods I wouldn't have a clue I was pregnant.
Any U/S, bump pics: nope

Going to my parents for July 4th weekend. While there I'm going to a one day convention for essential oils. Excited to use them more. Nothing else planned yet. No big trips for us this year. Oh wait we'll have a party at the end of August for my 3 yr old. Birthdays are always big for us.
First appointment plans/results: my first appt is tomorrow at 3!

Any U/S, bump pics: n/a
Bonus GTKY: What's on the schedule for the rest of summer? Any vacations planned? 4th of July plans? I live in a summer destination and tourists have started to really take over. We go to the beach every weekend, we can walk to a great one from our house. 4th we have friends coming down to stay with us. We will hit the beach and we are having a cookout. I took a week off in August but we aren't going anywhere, just a staycation.

We always go to my father-in-laws for July 4th.. should be easy to hide this pregnancy still Past that.. shoot me now.. potty training. We did some earlier in the year and they figured it out.. but didn't want to.
