I *think* that's how it's supposed to go, but since there's not many of us yet and we're still kind of slow board right now, it's NBD.
...Right?

Thanks. My whole head/face hurts. It hurts to chew. I got a steroid nasal spray, and antibiotics but I'm not supposed to take for 10 days. I cannot live with this for 10 more days. I can't miss another day of work. This is bad guys. I've never had anything like this. I haven't been to the doctor since 2012, not including the OB. Also pissed my OB never called me back today.

That sounds painful. And yeah, I can't believe your OB didn't call back.

What is your baby the size of? (Fruit, veggie, etc.)Blueberry - thanks for the heads up @kc295905

Upcoming Doctor's Appointments? Not until May 6th..... tear. However, I'm trying to see if he'll let me come in this Friday for an u/s. I should know today.

Rants/Raves? Our cleaning lady came yesterday for the first time and did an AMAZING job.... smelled so good and everything was squeaky clean. I wish I would have hired someone to do that when we brought DD home. It felt amazing. On the flip side, I had seen she was sharing things on FB while she was at our house.... maybe she was FB'ing while peeing? Who knows, just seems odd and I'm not paying you to surf the net.

GTKY: How did you meet your husband/SO/baby daddy? At our parents friends riding stables, we were there for a big party/horse show. (I'm not a horse person, but DH's family has a stables)

[purple]

@kcnumbers, so sorry you're ill! That sounds awful. Hope you feel better soon, and that your doctor gets back to you.


How far along are you?
Six weeks tomorrow! I thought I was about seven and a half weeks until this morning's scan. But it's all a bit fluid until the dating / NT scan at twelve weeks so it may well change again :-)

What is your baby the size of? (Fruit, veggie, etc.)
A blueberry, according to PP! I had do many apps that told me things like this last time :-)

Symptoms?
Dizziness and all day nausea. I've had some episodes of pregnancy insomnia and of explosive... er, explosions :-)

Upcoming Doctor's Appointments?
Next scan and consultant appointment on May 17th. The following day I have my booking in appointment with the local midwife. Straightforward pregnancies in the UK are looked after by midwives. I don't do straightforward, but I still have to see the midwife.

Rants/Raves?
I am now on injectable insulin until the baby arrives. I knew I would be, so it's a faff, but it'll keep me and the baby healthy.

GTKY: How did you meet your husband/SO/baby daddy?
We met at university. We were best friends for seven and a half years: I always fancied him but he wasn't interested. Until the day he realised he'd made a mistake and begged me for a chance, and the rest is history.

ETA: to correct nausea to insomnia

[babycowbell]

How far along are you? 7 weeks 1 day

What is your baby the size of? (Fruit, veggie, etc.) a small raspberry

Symptoms? Little nausea today but not quite so exhausted

Upcoming Doctor's Appointments? I had my first last Friday and it went perfectly, now nothing until May 6

Rants/Raves? I called and made my first OB appointment yesterday which somehow made this whole thing feel more real than just going to RE appointments.

GTKY: How did you meet your husband/SO/baby daddy? We met on a dating website. We're both quiet introvert types so even if we'd ever been in the same place we probably wouldn't have talked to each other so a dating website was a good thing for us.

[legalbeagle]

Becca, I LOVE that story!

[littlelion]

How far along are you? 5 wks 5 dys

What is your baby the size of? Peppercorn

Symptoms? This week I've gotten hit with the fatigue and nausea 

Upcoming Doctor's Appointments? This morning! I saw the baby's heartbeat! Baby measured 6 wks 1 dy.  I haven't gotten my beta's back but hopefully that is ok too. I return this Friday to make sure heart beat is increasing. 

Rants/Raves? Good appointments make me feel better, gives me confidence in the pregnancy. But the morning of the appt, I am a bundle of nerves. Waiting for the ultrasound is nerve wracking, just watching the black and white screen waiting for something to show up.  Once I saw the heart beating today I had a couple of tears roll down my cheek. The tech was "happy tears?" and all I could do was nod. 

GTKY: I met my husband out dancing, celebrating my cousins bday. He had actually been dancing with one of her friends but since there was a shortage of guys, I accepted to dance with him when she got tired. You snooze you lose!   (jk she wasn't into him at all).

[requiressnacks]

mrsp121308, I'm not really sympathetic to my husband's "needs" right now either. Maybe when I hit 2nd tri..... LOL

[littlelion]

brit365 I'm learning that my nausea is also triggered by too little or too much food. It's a tricky balancing act!

Upcoming Doctor's Appointments? Monday for u/s. So nervous and excited!

Rants/Raves? Rant- this week is slow creeping by. I am having a hard time eating basically anything that's not oranges, avocados, cereal or milk. Rave- my son peed in the potty last night! I also had ice cream for dinner!

GTKY: How did you meet your husband/SO/baby daddy? We met when I was a sr in college and he was visiting with a mutual friend I lived next door to....he had been out at the horse races with said friend and they had some bourbon so he was very chatty, and I wasn't single at the time. He kept trying to get my number and I thought he was funny. Flash forward 4 years and my best guy friend called me on Valentine's day and said "You gotta meet my friend, he is perfect for you" so we met a couple of weeks later out at a bar. I didn't put two and two together until a few months later when he said "I swear I met you a few years ago.."

He tried last night when I got into bed. I go "don't you know it's 8:30 already!" and then rolled over. I'm the worst.

requiressnacks, so many high fives!
