Gtky: what kind of music do you like? What was the last album you downloaded/bought?

[tikoberry99]

How many weeks are you? 13 weeks 1 day! Second trimester here I come.

Symptoms? VERY HUNGRY...waking up at night starving if I don't eat enough during the day.

Upcoming appts? I have my NT scan tomorrow. Can't wait to see little man again.

Rant/rave? I've been buying so much baby stuff lately I need to chill out. I'm currently researching and buying cloth diapers, it's my current baby obsession.

Gtky: what kind of music do you like? What was the last album you downloaded/bought?

I've been on a 90s kick for over 2 years...the last great decade of music in my opinion. I'm a HUGE Nirvana fan and collect Kurt Cobain autographs, personal letters and other fun stuff. I saw Montage of Heck 11 times in the theater when it screened in LA.

My last album....I downloaded the new Smashing Pumpkins album when it came out.

[lostinfaith225]

How many weeks are you? 13 wks 2 days

Symptoms? Mild nausea, exhausted, acne, headache

Upcoming appt.? Nothing this week, but Iv fluids

Rant/rave? Ready for my long rant? Cookies for reading!
Yesterday, I cracked my head on the board in our basement . Cue- my mom worried that I gave myself a concussion , but I didn't. Sore spot on head and migraine last night into today.

Then, I have a new nurse today for my Iv fluids. She sticks me 4 times. I always get lightheaded and panic with Ivs, I was so distraught. She stuck both my hands after I told her twice to try the elbow part of my arm, where my normal nurse gets it. I was ready to have my mom do it after the 3rd time, since she is a nurse. But she hadn't left the house yet. After all this, I am requesting to never have this nurse again!!' Cookies for reading.

Gtky: what kind of music do you like? What was the last album you downloaded/bought?
Last song--Adele, hello!
Album-Janet Jackson's new one, unbreakable

[cabbagecabbage]

How many weeks are you? 11 and a half

Symptoms? So tired in the afternoons only and a terrible taste in my mouth again.

Upcoming appts? Thursday. I had to move it a week to attend a funeral last week.

Rant/rave? Rave: maternity pants! Rant: I have been so crabby toward my sweet kid and I feel terrible about it.

Gtky: what kind of music do you like? What was the last album you downloaded/bought? I listen to alternative/indie radio and singer-songwriter, alt country, folk, type stuff. I can't even remember the last time I bought music. It's probably been well over a year. I saw Counting Crows and then Glen Hansard in concert this fall. Some teenagers behind me at Counting Crows asked me if they sang Love Shack. That's when I knew I was really old.

[madamewaffles]

How many weeks are you? 15w5d

Symptoms? Headaches. I maybe, maybe felt a flutter on Friday, but I think I might have been gassy too, so there's that.

Upcoming appts? OB in a week and a half. Can't wait!

Rant/rave? I would like to know where this so-called 2nd tri energy is because this girl is still tired.

Gtky: what kind of music do you like? What was the last album you downloaded/bought? I am pretty much all over the place. The only genre I don't really care for is modern country. The last album I bought was the new Coldplay album.

[Ray]

Gtky: what kind of music do you like? What was the last album you downloaded/bought?

It depends on my mood. Sometimes I'm in the mood for punk/harder rock, sometimes I like to chill out, sometimes I head bob to top 40. My most-listened to CDs (I'm old school lol) are probably Rise Against, Coldplay, Jack Johnson, And OLP.

I wish!!

[housecarder]

How many weeks are you? 14 weeks 4 days

Symptoms? If I take my zofran on schedule I might get through the day with little to no puking. Heartburn has taken over at night though.

Upcoming appts? Friday for an ultrasound and finally see my OB instead of a nurse.

Rant/rave? I've been ridiculously aroused lately, which would be great if I wasn't also so exhausted. So I'll jump my husband and then need a nap. He's not complaining though.

Gtky: What kind of music do you like? What was the last album you downloaded/bought?
I like all kinds actually. My radio is usually set to country or contemporary Christian, unless the kids are listening to Frozen or Sofia the First cds. The last cd I bought was the new Kendrick Lamar cd for H's stocking.

[uniquename]

How many weeks are you?
14 weeks tomorrow 


Symptoms?
It's been a week on Diclectin and I'm still not over how good I feel compared to the 8 weeks before then. I can't ignore the fatigue, but otherwise I feel good. An occasional twinge in the hips, but I'm taking it easy, trying to keep that at bay.


Upcoming appts?
Urine check in a week. Hoping my winning streak of no uti keeps up!


Rant/rave?
Fatigue is making me way toooo grumpy. I need to keep that in check. It is not fair to my family. But it is sure hard reigning in all the grumpiness I feel some times.


Gtky: what kind of music do you like? What was the last album you downloaded/bought? I'm not big into music, my husband is the one who buys/plays it. But I have been listening to some stuff from the early 2000s lately. A little nostalgic for high school, I guess. 

[rungirlrun]

I can't believe how many ladies are in/are almost in 2nd tri!

tikoberry99, I'm sure you've done a lot of cloth diaper research, but one tip from my experience: don't buy velcro. Snaps hold up so much better in the long run. Velcro sticks to everything when you wash the diapers, but after time doesn't stick much when you want to close the diaper on your kid. Just something I wish I had known in advance.

How many weeks are you? 11 w 2 d

Symptoms? Still exhausted, but nausea may be lessening (knock on wood) so that makes me happy

Upcoming appts? Wednesday! Just a regular appointment, but even though I heard/saw a heartbeat at my 8 week appt, I'm still having a bit of anxiety. So if all looks good on Wednesday, I'll definitely feel like I'm more in the safe zone of everything being ok.

Rant/rave? Ran a 10k race this morning. I've been feeling off for most regular runs lately, but I felt really good this morning so it was a great way to start the day! Plus there were chips and chocolate candy afterwards - win!

Gtky: what kind of music do you like? What was the last album you downloaded/bought? I like classic rock and top 40 stuff, but I can't remember the last time I bought any music. I generally only listen to music when I'm in the car.

[acorn99]

How many weeks are you?
15+5


Symptoms? Headaches! So many headaches. And just this morning, it is starting to feel a little like my pubic bone is breaking in half.



Upcoming appts?
No until first week of February, then I have an OB and my A/S that week.


Rant/rave?
I forgot 2nd tri headaches and how nothing relieves them.


Gtky: what kind of music do you like? What was the last album you downloaded/bought? I like all sorts of stuff but I dont buy much music. I think 1989 by Taylor Swift was the last thing. I am kind of embarrassed to admit that.

[cocobellaf]

How many weeks are you? 13w 0d

Symptoms? Still a lot of nausea in the evenings, IBS symptoms, food aversions/no appetite, a little hip pain, not sleeping well.

Upcoming appts? 2/2/16. I think we'll set up the anatomy ultrasound that day!

Rant/rave? Still feeling sick. Sometimes I can eat a little more, but every evening I'm so, so sick.

Gtky: what kind of music do you like? What was the last album you downloaded/bought? I listen to the Sinatra channel on XM. I can't remember the last album I bought or downloaded! I also like bossanova.

[TheTuna15]

tikoberry99, Did you ever see Pumpkins live? I ended up missing the Pumpkins/Manson the end times tour and I cried.

Ray, MH loves Rise Against. He tried to convince me that Swing Life Away should be the song we danced to at our wedding.

[TheTuna15]

How many weeks are you? 11-ish. Almost 12. I'm mobile and can't see my ticker, so I'm obviously also lazy.

Symptoms? STARVING. But my kid insists on eating half my food.

Upcoming appts? 1-20 when I'll finally hear a damn heartbeat!

Rant/rave? I made Mh go with me to the windmill for chili cheese dogs only to discover that the location closest to us closed! So yes, we drove 45 minutes to go to the main one down in Long Branch because nothing gets between me and a footlong chili cheese dog and cheese fries.

Gtky: what kind of music do you like? What was the last album you downloaded/bought?

I'm hard pressed to think of music I don't like. Like most people born in the 80's I'm very nostalgic for the 90's. I love alternative rock, top 40, electric dance music, everything except for new hip hop and rap. Give me Eminem, Busta Rhymes, even older Kanye over Drake any day of the week.

[housecarder]

acorn99, I have been having tons of headaches as well. I just try to drink my weight in water, take extra strength tylenol, and nap as much as possible. It helps sometimes.
I feel like its way too soon for these babies to have settled low and be causing so much hip and sciatic nerve pain.

[those3words]

How many weeks are you? 12w2d

Symptoms? Fatigue, incontinence (seriously? Already? WTF?!), occasional nausea.

Upcoming appts? NT scan tomorrow.

Rant/rave? Seriously? Why am I peeing my pants all the time already? Grrrrrr.

Gtky: what kind of music do you like? What was the last album you downloaded/bought? Um...lately, it has been music for DS because at 17 months he already seems to know the difference between kid music and mommy music and screams in the car if it isn't his music.

Symptoms? Still tired, food still sounds gross a lot of the time, but I was craving eggs this morning, so I think that's a good sign.

Rant/rave? This pregnancy is so much harder than the last. I'm tired of feeling unproductive and lazy because I'm too tired to do anything.

[harlowjune1984]

How many weeks are you?
12w2d
Symptoms?
Heartburn. Cold. I always feel like my neck is tight (like that just-before-barfing tightness)....usually when my stomach doesn't even hurt. So I always feel like I am just about to throw up, even if I am not going to. Its such an annoying feeling!
Upcoming appts?
Going in for my 1st Tri blood work this week
Rant/rave?
Yesterday I felt pretty dang good, so I went to a fancy-schmancy baby store that is about 45min away from our house, to look at the infant carseat that I want to get (they are the only place that have them in store to look at), DD picked out a present for the baby when she visits in the hospital, and then we hit up Target. It was nice to get out of the house!
Gtky: what kind of music do you like? What was the last album you downloaded/bought?
I listen to pretty much any type of music (except jazz, bluegrass, and Christian), but the last album I got was Adele's 25

I saw Pumpkins / Manson this summer and the Pumpkins were amazing! I didn't expect Billy to sing so well. I think bc Chamberlin was drumming and only had 3 weeks for rehearsals Billy was forced to put ALL the old hits on the set list which was AMAZING!

[tootsie]

How many weeks are you?
13w2d.  M-F'in 2nd tri!

Symptoms?
Exhausted, my body feels so worn out some days.

Upcoming appts?
Wednesday morning.

Rant/rave?
I bought a ton of maternity clothes this weekend and managed to only spend $30 because of gift cards and exchanges. My pants situation was getting desperate, maternity pants FTW!

Gtky: what kind of music do you like? What was the last album you downloaded/bought?
I like so much. My recent favorites have been Father John Misty and Ryan Adam's 1989.  I like to tune in to my fave public radio station in ATX. My H has weird taste in music, so I get a lot of exposure to genres I would never otherwise listen to. Like bossa nova, lol.  



edit: formatting, as usual

[ginabini]

How many weeks are you?
14w1d


Symptoms?
My sciatic or some other nerve is still throwing a hissy fit in my right butt/hip area, which is no fun. My appetite is definitely picking up too, which is nice for a change! My blump also looks slightly more like an actual bump this week!


Upcoming appts?
 Next little monthly checkup is early Feb.


Rant/rave?
Rant: LOVE my baby bean to death... but he/she is already quite the cockblock lol. I was sooo excited for the morning sickness and constantly being tired thing to be over... but now this nerve pain has taken its place. So not cool!! Rave: I scored a whole bin of maternity clothes this weekend for about $150! Considering it included 12 pairs of pants I think I made out pretty well!!


Gtky: what kind of music do you like? What was the last album you downloaded/bought? Loooooove me some country music! The last album I bought was Carrie Underwood's new album Storyteller. I'm sort of a mega-fan of hers! 

[activebaby]

How many weeks are you? 13 & 5

Symptoms? I thought the nausea was improving, but it hasn't. But headaches have started I take zofran, b6 & unisom which helps, but makes my exhaustion worse.

Upcoming appts? 2/1 just the routine monthly appt

Rant/rave? I've lost weight (n/v), but my pants are tight on my abd, all of my outfits look bad and feel bad. So thankful I can wear scrubs sometimes.

Gtky: what kind of music do you like? What was the last album you downloaded/bought? My favorite artists are Jamie Cullum & Carbon leaf. Also really like Jack Johnson and John Mayer - although what I really like is their stuff from 10 years ago.
