EDD: 2/23

How many weeks today: 8w4d

First appointment plans/results: 2/29th, already did some of the bloodwork

How ya feeling: I'm so tired all the time. I just want to nap constantly, and that doesn't work with my job. My brain is having a hard time getting from point A to point B and it's really starting to mess with my productivity. Ugh.

Any U/S, bump pics: Not yet!

Bonus GTKY: Strangest food craving
I needed to have Chunky Monkey ice cream RIGHT NOW the other night. H had to go to two stores to find it (I needed non-dairy). He first came home with some other flavor and didn't get why I was nearly in tears.

Thanks for the check-in, sweetieheart32

EDD: 2/17

How many weeks today: 9w3d

First appointment plans/results: Our appointment was last Thursday, and it went perfectly! Our little sweet pea measured 8w6d, perfectly in line with my LMP, which was crazy since my cycles are typically very wonky. Heartbeat of 165. We're over the mood excited! Obviously, we're still cautiously optimistic since it's still kind of early, but feeling very good about this LO's chances

How ya feeling: Feeling pretty good. I puked a lot last week, but haven't since Thursday so that's great. Still nauseous, but not as much as before. Maybe it's starting to fade a bit. Still very, very tired.

Any U/S, bump pics: YES! The little sweet pea at 8w6d:

Bonus GTKY: So far I've really only craved one thing - the pepperoni bagel from Wawa. For you folks who sadly don't have Wawa, it's a bagel loaded with provolone and large sliced pepperoni all melted together. SO damn good. Still have not caved, but I may have to this week.

Any U/S, bump pics:

EDD: 2/23

How many weeks today: 8w4d

First appointment plans/results: Last week and it went great!

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) The nausea/morning sickness hit at exactly 8 weeks. I never even got nauseous with DD. I feel for you ladies who have had it this whole time - it's rough.

Any U/S, bump pics:

Bonus GTKY: Strangest food craving: Hmm. I've been craving a chili cheese dog like crazy lately. I think I am going to make them for dinner tomorrow night with turkey dogs and turkey chili to satisfy the craving without plowing my calories for the whole day.

ETA: Glad your appointment went well sweetieheart32!

[cosmicav]

EDD: 02.28.17

How many weeks today: 8 tomorrow!

First appointment plans/results: FRIDAY!!!

How ya feeling: So far I have only thrown up once today, so pretty decent right now. Lol

Any U/S, bump pics: When I get my U/S I will share with the class.

Bonus GTKY: Strangest food craving: So far the only thing I have craved is grilled cheese. Mostly I am hungry but can't eat, or immediately feel nasty after eating. It is a struggle.

[zcookiemonster]

EDD: 2/25

How many weeks today: 8w 2days

First appointment plans/results: none yet

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) So, so tired. Pregnancy insomnia like whoa, I literally just can't sleep. And anytime my stomach is empty, which seems to be all the time, I get super nauseous. And watch out for heat ladies...I was sitting in the hot sun the other day and kinda blacked out and started puking, no Bueno.

Any U/S, bump pics: my bloat belly sure is something to see!

Bonus GTKY: Strangest food craving Loving potatoes and chicken sandwiches with melted cheese mmhmm

[wildflower810]

EDD: 2/22

How many weeks today: 8+4

First appointment plans/results: My first official appointment won't be for another 3-4 weeks. I'll probably be getting a scan in 2ish weeks from a friend who is doing u/s training and needs a certain number of scans.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I'm feeling terrible. Someone at church asked me what my nursery theme was and I tried not to laugh at her. I'm liking simple carbs and meat is a struggle. Names probably won't even be discussed until after our a/s. I have a few girl ideas, nothing for a boy, though!

Any U/S, bump pics: I've got something going on, that's for sure.

Bonus GTKY: Strangest food craving
Popsicles. I haven't had a popsicle in years but needed some at the store today. Ice cream is disgusting, though.

[madam23]

EDD: Feb. 2nd

How many weeks today: 11w4d

First appointment plans/results: ultrasound on Friday. Appt with the doctor has been pushed back to Aug. 2 which is making be twitchy but whatevs.

How ya feeling: I have been battling this cold for almost 2 weeks. I realize now though that it's been distracting me from the fact that I actually feel pretty damn good. Maybe the worst of 1st tri is almost over.

Any U/S, bump pics: Not until Friday!

Bonus GTKY: Strangest food craving: I'm totally showing my Canada here, but Maple iced cappuccino from Tim Horton's. It's the perfect combination of cold, sugar and caffeine for me right now. And I normally do not like iced capps at all.

[addymac]

EDD: 2/16

How many weeks today: 9w4d

First appointment plans/results: made an appt to meet with the genetic counselor to get genetic testing done on the baby to see if the presence of the two cysts are related to any of the trisomies (as they usually are IF they persist past the first trimester). Have a f/u u/s end of August when I'm 14 weeks to check for the cysts and we'll have the DNA results around them as well.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice). Started on zofran and I feel amazing. Small headaches if I don't eat often enough but the nausea has subsided substantially! Thank god.

Any U/S, bump pics: I took them all off my fridge bc it made me too sad.

Bonus GTKY: Strangest food craving: can't think of anything I want. It's mostly things I DONT want (which is like everything)

[shellbell]

EDD: 2/8
How many weeks today: 10+5
First appointment plans/results: my second appointment is on Wednesday.
How ya feeling: I'm cautiously thinking I feel a little better? I'm having more good days than bad, and I'm handling the nausea better.

No pics

Strangest food craving: nutty bars

[shellbell]

zcookiemonster I'm having such a hard time with the heat and humidity. It's not fun.

Thinking of you addymac. (((Hugs)))

[shawnabm1320]

EDD: 2/23 2/24 ish

How many weeks today: 8w 4d

First appointment plans/results: Had to change it to Thursday due to my mom-brain. I think it's only bloodwork.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
Still feeling pretty queasy. I've had a little spotting the last few days, which makes me nervous because I didn't have any with DS. But the amount of nausea I'm experiencing is slightly encouraging. I think I'll mention it on Thursday, just in case. I have to admit it's freaking me out, though.

Also, I'm so tired. Must go to bed earlier.

Any U/S, bump pics: Since I know my bump is not actually baby, I'm not sharing :-p But apparently I look pregnant. Sigh.

Bonus GTKY: Strangest food craving

I'm not really craving anything at the moment. Unless you count being able to eat things without gagging as a craving, in which case, carbs. And dairy. Unfortunately, protein in the form of meat is just hard to get down these days.

[zcookiemonster]

shellbell omg I must have a nutty bar. Now. How have I forgotten these jr high gems!

You will not regret it.

[shellbell]

I should pip my pregnancy shelf in my pantry: Frosted Flakes, nutty bars, and bagels, all in a row.

[ls2012]

EDD: 2/15

How Many Weeks: 9w5d

First Appt/ Results: it was today, went well. 1st scan scheduled for next week Tuesday!

How Feeling: exhausted and headachey, still big time food aversions and random nausea. Started talking names and we definitely have our boy name, almost agree on a girl name.

GTKY: No cravings here, really. In fact, reading others' is making my stomach cringe! How many weeks left in 1st tri?

[pivot]

Big hugs addymac. Praying that you get some good news these next couple weeks!

[flyinghorses6]

EDD: 2/7

How many weeks: 11 weeks

First appt/results: my second appointment and NT scan and bloodwork are Monday. Can't wait to see the little bug.

How ya feeling: same old. Tired, intermittent headaches (usually from being tired), morning sickness/overnight sickness. It's down to just once now so hopefully it's just going away. Food tastes weird.

GTKY: not really craving anything. But many aversions. Idk why my food just doesn't taste the same. Trying to eat healthy just the same.

[crazycatlady6]

oldbaylover1024 - now I want a pepperoni bagel from Wawa. I doubt my stomach could handle it but you are right - they are delicious!

[crazycatlady6]

DD: 2/23

How many weeks today: 8w5d

First appointment plans/results: had another scan on yesterday with the baby right on schedule growth-wise with a heartbeat of 178!

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)

I'm still feeling pretty crummy. Nauseous all the time, the heat is really getting to me lately. The spotting is a lot less so that gives me good peace of mind.

Any U/S, bump pics: I'll edit this post with a u/s pic when I am mobile later on. I'm too lazy to move off my sofa to grab my phone.

Bonus GTKY: Strangest food craving

No food cravings other than nachos from Sheetz (western PA/Ohio gas station that serves the best food, Wawa is a close second). I need a Sheetz around here.

[oldbaylover1024]

For those of you who don't know, there are two types of people in this world - people who like Sheetz, and people who like Wawa. There are no middle-of-the-road walkers. Sorry, crazycatlady6, you're wrong on this one LOL

[pivot]

oldbaylover1024 I have to agree. I'll do Sheetz if I am in a pinch but Wawa is really the best. Especially right now during hoagiefest!

[shellbell]

Some of us live in a place with no sheetz and no wawa.

I went to undergrad with Sheetz. All I ever got there was icees.

[oldbaylover1024]

shellbell - I'm so so sorry.

pivot - hoagiefest is my life. When we bought our house a new Wawa was being built. I could have cried tears of joy. In fact, I may have. I may have...

EDD: Feb 26

How many weeks today:8 + 2

First appointment plans/results: We had our dating ultrasound and my due date moved back one day, but more importantly, I got to see baby's heartbeat! 177! That was very reassuring. Now nothing until mid August for my first prenatal.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) TIRED. It's also very hot here right now so that's been draining me as well. Nauseous, a lot more than my last pregnancy. We also nailed down a boy baby name, so that was exciting!!

Any U/S, bump pics: No pics and s loads of bloat.

Bonus GTKY: Strangest food craving
So I'm borrowing this from last pregnancy but it still sounds so good to me right now. Pan fried pork chop cut into pieces with pasta shells and peas coated in Cheese Whiz. I usually hate pork and fake cheese but I think about this meal daily.
