Upcoming appointments this week? Nope not for 2 weeks
Any new symptoms or changes? Not really still tired with some nausea but it's more in the evenings and comes and goes. Food, especially fruit and dairy are good
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm just impatient for when I can feel kicks
QTKY: Are you/have you came out on social media? Any cute ways to announce? No, won't announce on social media until at least after 1st tri, maybe after the AS. I'll probably just put DS in a big brother shirt. Last time we did a pic of 2 adult size superhero hoodies and a superhero onesie with a note about our EDD

How big is baby? my OVIA theme says ladybug, but if I change it to fruits/veggies it's a blueberry. I feel like these things are not equal in size. ??
Upcoming appointments this week? 1st appt was Tuesday, u/s scheduled for 12/20
Any new symptoms or changes? morning sickness and my boobs are starting to get sore. I've been tired more this week.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: My DHA pill says "No fishy taste or smell", but every day it's like I'm sliding some fish scales down my throat. /gag
QTKY: Are you/have you came out on social media? Any cute ways to announce? No plans yet. I think we are telling my parents tonight. I bought DS a "big brother" shirt for him to wear over to their house.

Upcoming appointments this week? I did today. So surreal still.
Any new symptoms or changes? I'm exhausted. I'd didn't know I could be so tired day in and day out.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Not baby related, but I watched a NatGeo show called Years of Living Dangerously last night. It's about climate change and global warming. Holy shit it scared me and I could barely sleep.
QOTW: I think we'll announce late January but now sure how and I'm not sure if I want to come out about my infertility issues. But I dread the "it's about time" comments from people.
Any new symptoms or changes? Past couple days I've noticed my appetite is gone. I feel alittle crappy for awhile. And I've had no interest in my daily cup of instant cappuccino.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing really. Still wish my dr would have given me one more ultrasound to see the baby or heartbeat.
QTKY: Are you/have you came out on social media? Any cute ways to announce? With our first, we announced after hearing the heartbeat at our first appt at 9 wks. I've now had a few friends lose it after that and with the recent loss, I'm feeling paranoid. I'll be 8 wks at my next apt so not sure she'd even get a heartbeat on the Doppler yet. so we'll just see how we feel in like a month. No cute ideas yet.

Last pregnancy I was worried I'd get those comments since we'd been married for several years already, but people generally just stuck to congratulations, hopefully they do the same for you. Otherwise if you don't feel like answering you can always give them a long creepy stare. I'm thinking of doing that if anyone asks if this pregnancy was accidental since they'll be 17 months apart.

It's pretty amazing what people will say now a days. MH gets asked everyday by clients if he has kids. I know it's small talk, but if he says no, you don't need to follow up with why not.
Upcoming appointments this week? I have my second appt next Friday.
Any new symptoms or changes? All of my symptoms have disappeared except for some GI stuff that I will battle until the end.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
QTKY: Are you/have you came out on social media? Any cute ways to announce? We announced on Thanksgiving at 9ish weeks. We used this with 'Coming July 2017' added to it.
Any new symptoms or changes? Still just all day nausea and tired as well as the awful taste in my mouth most of the day.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing that I can think of
QTKY: Are you/have you came out on social media? Any cute ways to announce? I don't do any social media. I'm going to try to make it until Christmas to tell my family. Then friends some time in January. However, I'm getting a little bump already and it's getting hard to hide. I am small to begin with and the fact that this is my 3rd pregnancy in 4 years.
Upcoming appointments this week? No more until 10 weeks
Any new symptoms or changes? I've had the flu, so I don't know what is baby and what is sickness, but I can at least function at work today, so that's a plus.
Rants/Raves/Questions? None really, just anxious to hear baby's heartbeat on the 19th.
QTKY: Are you/have you came out on social media? Any cute ways to announce? We announced on Thanksgiving. I have a strong personal preferences about this. After losing our son Emmett at 13 weeks (after we announced), I can't imagine people not knowing about him and not knowing our love for him. He's buried with our family, we talk of him in conversation regularly when it comes up...I can't imagine keeping him a "secret" from our family and friends. So we decided to announce and share our joy of this pregnancy as well. I also strongly advocate to de-stigmatize loss and infertility so that women don't feel shamed when going through those experiences, so I've been very open with our struggle of recurrent pregnancy loss and secondary infertility. So, this was our announcement:
24 months 3 doctors 2 angel babies 1 SHG 1 HSG Dozens of blood tests 5 medicated cycles 2 Ovadril shots 2 failed IUIs Countless tears Thousands of prayers... ...and one trip to Vegas. This year we are unbelievably thankful and grateful for our HEALTHY, growing, surprise rainbow baby, who will be joining our family in July!
How big is baby? according to my app, today is chocolate chip, but tomorrow is blueberry...moving on up!
Upcoming appointments this week? Next Wednesday!
Any new symptoms or changes? I'm getting hungrier. At first I was eating just a small amount and getting full. Now I'm staying hungry. Otherwise, I'm just exhausted!!
Rants/Raves/Questions?
QTKY: Are you/have you came out on social media? Any cute ways to announce? We haven't yet. A lot of our close friends know, and we told our families on Thanksgiving. I think as long as everything looks good on Wednesday, we'll announce for either Christmas or New Year's. Not sure how, though!
Upcoming appointments this week? I had my first appt and u/s today. All went well with one baby measuring on track
Any new symptoms or changes? Nope
Rants/Raves/Questions? 1st tri plus retail management in Nov/Dec sucks.
QTKY: Are you/have you came out on social media? Any cute ways to announce? My DS turns 3 in early January, so we're thinking we might do a Birthday type announcement.
How far along are you? 8w2d How big is baby? Wild strawberry Upcoming appointments? Had one today! All is well with our singleton. Any new symptoms or changes? Nausea has turned to vomiting. Awesome. Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope QOTW: I got DD a shirt that says "Only child expiring July 2017" we will take a picture of her and post on Christmas.

How far along are you? 9 weeks How big is baby? A southern pecan Upcoming appointments this week? Nothing until the end of the month Any new symptoms or changes? Tons of nausea but the unisom/b6 seems to have defeated the vomiting. Rants/Raves/Questions? I have mixed feelings about whether or not to tell my family on Christmas. I didn't really want to tell anyone outside of the very limited few that already know until the 2nd tri but it may be painfully obvious when they notice I am not drinking. QTKY: Are you/have you came out on social media? Any cute ways to announce? We are probably not going to announce on Facebook until 20 weeks.

How big is baby? Pecan
Upcoming appointments this week? I had a blood test yesterday but nothing else.
Any new symptoms or changes? Nope the same. Nausea when I don't eat and only want to eat carbs.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm already blumping hard and I feel like it will be difficult to hide this as long as I want to at work.
QTKY: Are you/have you came out on social media? Any cute ways to announce? With my first we did at 12 weeks but now I am friends with all my coworkers versus before I wasn't. So I need to tell my boss first before I tell social media so my coworkers don't blab. I'm thinking I will tell them in January but then wait for an official announcement more towards 20 weeks. If anybody asks though I will tell them.
Post by easilyunamused on Dec 9, 2016 8:34:21 GMT -5
Some of you are showing great restraint to wait until 20 weeks. I'm not the biggest social media gal, but I feel like once we start telling people, someone is bound to write on my FB wall.
We've only told our mothers so far, and my mom already blabbed to her boyfriends mom. She sent me something about babies and dogs, luckily she sent it to my messenger.
Any new symptoms or changes? I feel like some of the nausea has lifted. Hopefully.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I think my anxiety is coming back. I'm back to not sleeping and always thinking of bad things happening/being on edge and not being able to focus. blah.
QTKY: Are you/have you came out on social media? Any cute ways to announce? We announced to our families on Thanksgiving. I have no plans for social media yet. We plan to go to Disney World in March so maybe I'll do something from there.

How big is baby? Lego Man - I like this one because I know exactly how big Lego men are. DS has a Lego advent calendar and he is obsessed with it.
Upcoming appointments this week? No, I'll have my NT scan in 2 weeks. I did get a stat ultrasound this week because of a bleeding scare but everything looked fine.
Any new symptoms or changes? No not really. Except for some spotting. But that's not too bad.
Rants/Raves/Questions? So my RE told me I could stop my endometrin suppositories at 10 weeks. I'm scared to stop. It would be great not to do them anymore because there so gross, but I'm worried I'll be stopping too soon since I've seen that some people take them until 12 weeks. I guess I should trust the doctor. But I have so many extra...
QTKY: Are you/have you came out on social media? Any cute ways to announce? I will probably wait as long as possible to announce on Facebook, if I ever announce. With DS we announced after our anatomy scan.
Upcoming appointments this week? Had our ultrasound yesterday and saw and heard the heartbeat. Also saw the bleed that's keeping me on bedrest for a while.
Any new symptoms or changes? So so nausous. Yesterday I could only sleep to stop feeling sick. I took B6 last night and I'm feeling more human today.
Rants/Raves/Questions? How do people do this more than once?! I'm so over bedrest and feeling sick.
QTKY: Are you/have you came out on social media? Any cute ways to announce? We will after Christmas. I have a future redsox fan shirt that I'll wear in a picture to announce.
