GTKY: What is one food that you are loving right now? What is a food you cannot stand?

[Lucy]

How far along are you? 8w3d

What is baby the size of? (Fruit/veg/etc.) a half size Lego brick

Upcoming Appointments: My first "official" OB appointment is Friday!

How are you feeling? Like I have the flu. Between the nausea, occasional puking, and the cold I'm fighting, it's rough.

Rants/Raves? We announced on FB, so H figured maybe he should tell his mom earlier than we were planning. He called her yesterday for Mother's Day, she didn't answer and didn't bother returning his call (he left a message asking her to call him back). She's not my favorite person.

GTKY: What is one food that you are loving right now? What is a food you cannot stand? I love all foods, until I start eating them. Then there is a 50/50 chance I'll hate it. I can't stand cucumbers.

[Deleted]

How far along are you? 7 Weeks according to ultrasound on Friday.


What is baby the size of? (Fruit/veg/etc.) Raspberry.


Upcoming Appointments: Nothing until June 2nd.

How are you feeling? Bleh. Nausea has definitely kicked in. I just made an executive decision to not walk down to the nice staff bathroom in the morning. It's attached to the cafeteria and breakfast was nasty smelling. I was dry-heaving in the bathroom. I'll sacrifice and use the yucky, non-heated, no hot water bathroom closer to my classroom.

Rants/Raves? I was hoping to make it through the end of the school year without telling anyone, but if the nausea gets any worse I might have to tell the teacher next door, which I don't want to do.


GTKY: What is one food that you are loving right now? What is a food you cannot stand? Potatoes are an amazing food. I am loving them in all forms lately and plan on making potato soup tonight. I've been making DH take his bananas to another room because they smell so bad to me though. Whatever the heck they were serving students for breakfast this morning will probably be crossed off my list too. Smelled like french toast or something.

[requiressnacks]

@cahistoryteacher, I totally agree on the potatoes. I could go for a hashbrown or potato soup right now.

Lucy, I hope you start to feel better soon!

[lastnamewithheld]

How far along are you? 8w2d


What is baby the size of? (Fruit/veg/etc.) 1/2 lego block! Or a wild strawberry per ovia.


Upcoming Appointments: OB appointment on Wednesday! AAHHH!


How are you feeling? super duper.


Rants/Raves? n/a


GTKY: What is one food that you are loving right now? What is a food you cannot stand? Burger King brought back the angry whopper! Sooo I'm loving that. They just need to add this to the menu! Come on BK, get it together. LOL. but as far as aversions go, I really have none. I eat whatever and it's fine, which, I guess, is convenient because I'm hungry all the damn time.

[brit365]

How far along are you? 9 weeks today!




What is baby the size of? (Fruit/veg/etc.) a green olive




Upcoming Appointments: One week from today will be my first appointment with my OB since graduating from the RE. My last time there was when I had my loss and she was not very nice about it so I'm nervous.




How are you feeling? Some nausea still and pretty much always exhausted.




Rants/Raves? Yesterday we announced on Facebook so I feel like Ms. Popular right now, haha.




GTKY: What is one food that you are loving right now? What is a food you cannot stand? Give me all of the carbs!! Cheesy bread all day every day!! But no meat at all please and thank you!

[trufflefries]

How far along: 10w1d

What is baby the size of? Kumquat

Upcoming appointment: this Thursday! Starting to get nervous. It's the same day pregnancy wise that we found out our last one had no hb.

How are you feeling? Managing nausea ok. Always tired. 2.5 year old DD and potty training are going to be the end of me!

Rants/raves: DD finally seems to be feeling better after a week of hand foot and mouth. Thankful for that!

GTKY: loving airheads and chips and salsa. Can't stand the smell of cooking meat or broccoli.

[Deleted]

trufflefries, I've had a hankering for chips and salsa too. But only certain salsa, like really well blended salsa, not the chunky stuff. DH hates most salsas (hates cilantro) maybe since he's out of town I'll go get some from the mexican restaurant and make that my dinner while he's gone.

[littlelion]

+1 to potatoes! I went to 2 bbqs this past weekend and brought potatoes along to grill. Yum. 

[WineNChocolate]

How far along are you? 7w 1d




What is baby the size of? (Fruit/veg/etc.) blueberry or a Brookesia Micra Chameleon.




Upcoming Appointments: Next week, Wednesday to be exact.




How are you feeling? Nausea unless I eat every 3-4 hours. Tired and I pee a lot. I am also emotional cause my daughter is fighting HFM, impetigo and ringworm. I just want to burn something down right now.




Rants/Raves? Daughter was looked at last Thursday and they said her rash was eczema...come to find out by weekend its HFM, Impetigo and ringworm all on her body. FML. I need a new daycare...my poor daughter is dealing with something every 2 weeks. ITS RIDICULOUS.




GTKY: What is one food that you are loving right now? What is a food you cannot stand? Anything fatty or greasy. I have been loving sandwiches right now and hot wings.

[emilie]

trufflefries hugs and hope it goes well this week!

How far along are you? 6w6d

What is baby the size of? (Fruit/veg/etc.) a ladybug! aww!

Upcoming Appointments: Wednesday! Ultrasound with the RE.

How are you feeling? Pretty good!

Rants/Raves? I feel like I should be doing more to plan for this kid but it all feels too early. H is all "all you need to do is take care of yourself and rest" but I am sort of type-A and I want to DO STUFF and PLAN STUFF.

GTKY: What is one food that you are loving right now? What is a food you cannot stand? All I want is Indian food. I have eaten it multiple times this week. No real aversions, but I didn't want broccoli one day this week and I usually love it.

[requiressnacks]

I'm so sorry your daughter keeps catching stuff, WineNChocolate. That sounds miserable.

emilie, Indian food sounds Ah-Maz-Ing. I haven't had it in ages.

GTKY: What is one food that you are loving right now? Um everything. Currently craving ramen noodles and strawberry jello pretzel salad
And skittles. What is a food you cannot stand? Vegetables

I don't know what all goes in a strawberry jello pretzel salad (just those things?) but sounds amazing!

[babycowbell]

Loving all the updates!

How far along are you? 10 weeks! That sounds serious.

What is baby the size of? (Fruit/veg/etc.) Lego man, I love that

Upcoming Appointments: none this week

How are you feeling? Pretty good, no puking just some food aversions. Not as tired as before which is awesome.

Rants/Raves? I got Mother's Day flowers from my MIL, very sweet.

GTKY: What is one food that you are loving right now? What is a food you cannot stand? Goldfish and oatmeal, not together. Hating the thought of chicken but still eating it as long as I don't overthink it.

[creechmommy]

How far along are you?
7 weeks

What is baby the size of? (Fruit/veg/etc.)
Blueberry

Upcoming Appointments:
Initial OB appt is a week from today (Tuesday) and our first u/s is the next day. This is the ultrasound where I found out I lost my first so the first u/s is always scary for me. But it's also the first time I got to see my DD healthy and wiggling around. Hoping for another balky baby this time.

How are you feeling?
Holy hot flashes! Omg I'm BURNING UP all. The. Time. Nothing cools me down! Also getting waves of nausea. Last time it didn't start till 9 weeks boo. No throwing up though yet. Other than that feeling good


Rants/Raves?
I'm currently sick. I got sick because someone decided to bring their sick kid to see the captain America movie and guess who the lucky girl was that got to sit in front of him as he hacked up a lung throughout the whole movie (and didn't cover his mouth) ugh! I mean keep your kid at home if they are that sick! The movie will still be there in a week. My DD just had surgery a few weeks ago and I've been doing so much to keep her well while her immune system builds back up and then this happens on my one getaway to get a break! Ugh! Ok rant over haha


GTKY: What is one food that you are loving right now? What is a food you cannot stand?

No cravings or aversions yet. Although I just started liking fried eggs and now I can't have them. I also really want a nice glass of wine

[requiressnacks]

@usernameedit, you're like me! I am loving all the fruits right now. Pass on the meats.

[Becca]

Thank you for the check in requiressnacks

How far along are you? 10 weeks today

What is baby the size of? (Fruit/veg/etc.) A lego man

Upcoming Appointments: Intake appointment with the OB tomorrow

How are you feeling? Tired and morning sickness like you wouldn't believe. Hoping to discuss all of this with the NP tomorrow.

Rants/Raves? If you are having MS I would highly suggest going to the dollar store and buying buckets. Not only have they helped when I couldn't make it to the bathroom in time, but they have been wonderful when I'm getting ready to be sick, but DH had just "used the facility".

GTKY: What is one food that you are loving right now? What is a food you cannot stand? Like some of you said, I'm living on fruit. Give me all the berries and melons. I absolutely cannot stand the smell of tuna right now. I won't even let DH eat it in the house.

Mmm Halo oranges are my jam right now.  Technically I buy them for the toddler because they are his favorite, but I keep sneaking them.

+1 to halos. And I'm shelling out the big bucks for honeycrisp apples.

[kaydee0402]

I also keep jacking his Annie's Fruit Snacks and have to keep telling him that they went bye-bye. I have no shame.

[mrsp121308]

How far along are you?
10 weeks 4 days


What is baby the size of? (Fruit/veg/etc.)
Tart kumquat or a prune, depending on which app I use


Upcoming Appointments:
Friday, I see my OB for my 2nd appointment and another u/s


How are you feeling?
Still feeling nauseous most of the time, very tired after about 2pm


Rants/Raves?
I *think* I maybe have a bump starting, or I could still be fat.  Who knows? I'm so freaking ready to be out of 1st tri and see if I feel better, this all day sickness is for the birds.


GTKY: What is one food that you are loving right now? What is a food you cannot stand? I really like Honey Crisp apples and I'm not normally a big apple eater.  Otherwise, nothing really sounds good.  I just eat whatever someone makes because I know I have to eat something.  

[sheepish]

How far along are you? 9 weeks

What is baby the size of? (Fruit/veg/etc.) pecan or grape or green olive

Upcoming Appointments: not until 5/27

How are you feeling? Meh - I've been feeling pretty good with the Zofran, but the last two days I definitely had more nausea

Rants/Raves? I'be technically been diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, but it has been so well controlled by the Zofran that I feel like I'm in better shape than many of the rest of you, even if the last two days have been pretty rough.

GTKY: What is one food that you are loving right now? What is a food you cannot stand? Pink Lady apples are probably my favorite right now. I also had some delicious chicken lo mein this week that went down surprisingly well. I can't really do dairy or sweet things (fruit is okay, and peanut butter, but things like chocolate or cookies just do not sound good at all)

[fikafairy67]

How far along are you? 8 weeks today!

What is baby the size of? (Fruit/veg/etc.) kidney bean? raspberry? I'm terrible at knowing this

Upcoming Appointments: in 1 week on the 19th!

How are you feeling? Pretty awful most of the time. The nausea is 10000x worse and lasts all day long, and like clockwork at 5:30am EVERY single day, I'm puking multiple times.

Rants/Raves? Rants - the puking and the nausea. I can deal with fatigue and I can deal with sore boobs, but this blows.
Raves - DH has been taking on a lot more of the cleaning at home, and seems to get just how crappy I feel right now.

GTKY: What is one food that you are loving right now? What is a food you cannot stand? Loving - chicken lo mein and ANY DESSERT. Can't be near - any kind of tuna or chicken salad. *VOM*

[lola]

How far along are you? I'm a day behind! 9w1d

What is baby the size of? (Fruit/veg/etc.) Canapé or green olive.

Upcoming Appointments: Appointment for blood work on 5/24, first trimester screen on 6/2.

How are you feeling? Not too bad. I had a few rough weeks with fatigue and nausea, but I feel like it's getting much better.

Rants/Raves? So far, so good. No puking, and that's really all I could hope for. This weekend we'll be seeing a lot of family, so I anticipate some eye-rolling and generally feeling like a human incubator.

GTKY: What is one food that you are loving right now? What is a food you cannot stand? Beans and rice, all day every day. And egg sandwiches. Food I can't take right now is Brussels sprouts (or pretty much any vegetable), which is SO sad because I usually LOVE them.

[kaydee0402]

I forgot to do mine for last week

How far along are you? Now I'm 8 weeks 5 days


What is baby the size of? (Fruit/veg/etc.) Raspberry. I think.


Upcoming Appointments: We had our ultrasound at 8 weeks and baby had a strong hb of 135 and looks great!


How are you feeling? Last week I had terrible nausea. This week I'm just incredibly tired with a side of nausea.


Rants/Raves? First trimester sucks.


GTKY: What is one food that you are loving right now? What is a food you cannot stand? Ham and cheese sandwiches, yummmm. I deli meat. And Halo oranges.
