GTKY: What is the first big baby-related purchase you've made or planned? Have you picked up any little things?

[Lucy]

Week/Fruit/Team: 13w3d/Jalapeno/PINK!

Symptoms? Still with the middle of the night puking. Whenever I think it's finally over, it strikes again.

Appointments this week? Had my NT scan this morning. She's looking great!!


GTKY: What is the first big baby-related purchase you've made or planned? Have you picked up any little things? -- I've bought some 0-3 month clothes, a Rock N' Play, an 2 baby carriers (a wrap and a mei tai). I'm really trying to buy the bare minimum for this baby because we just don't have the space for a lot of big stuff. I'm hunting for a second hand travel swing. My only really "big" purchase until after we move next year is our travel system. We aren't even buying a crib until after we move, because baby will be sharing a room with us and sleeping in a Pack n Play when she outgrows the Rock n Play.

Week/Fruit/Team: 13W+4D/matchbox car/?

Symptoms? Not much, a bit of nausea last Friday. Turns out the reason I threw up was because the chinese food I ordered had these little shrimp...I'm allergic to shrimp.  Luckily I threw up after just 2 bites instead of swelling up.  I realized it later than night when I gave DH the food.

Appointments this week? Friday afternoon, hope to get good results on the genetic testing! 

Rants/Raves/Questions? We went to DH's cousins' for a BBQ yesterday. I wore leggings and a tshirt (oversized) and the minute I walked in the wife exclaimed "oh, look, your belly popped!" which made me all kinds of self-conscious.  But then she walked over and patted my belly.    That's not the baby just my fat, lady. 

GTKY: What is the first big baby-related purchase you've made or planned? Have you picked up any little things?  No big purchases planned.  Most of the stuff we used for DS we can use again.  If it's a girl, I'm excited to buy some cute girly outfits. Although I have no problem with a girl wearing DS clothes too. We have to save money somehow! 

[legalbeagle]

Hooray Lucy!

[emilie]

man, where is everyone today? come out and play D16!

Week/Fruit/Team: 12/apricot/pink

Symptoms? none. I feel freaking fantastic. thanks for coming a little early, 2nd tri.

Appointments this week? nothing this week, which is maybe my first week without a doctor's appointment in... 7 or 8 months at least?

Rants/Raves/Questions? now that we know the kiddo is healthy we both feel a lot better about everything! starting to think more seriously about names and what to buy, etc.

GTKY: What is the first big baby-related purchase you've made or planned? Have you picked up any little things? nothing big yet. we probably won't buy anything $$$ until after the anatomy scan. however, I do have this semi-embarrassing bin of baby clothes stashed away from 2014. When we started TTC all our friends were having kids and I was buying a ton of baby gifts. every time I would go to the store I would pick up something cute figuring I would be KU soon. after about 8 months of that nonsense and no luck, I stashed all those baby clothes in my closet and forgot about them. now 2 years later I have a reason to finally bust them out. I don't even remember what I bought, haha.

Week/Fruit/Team: 15w2d/Hass Avocado/team green

Symptoms? Feeling pretty good

Appointments this week? Nothing again until my anatomy scan & regular appointment on 7/8

Rants/Raves/Questions?

GTKY: What is the first big baby-related purchase you've made or planned? Have you picked up any little things?
We bought a new car, replacing DH's because it wouldn't hold 3 car seats across the back seat. Next up is our glider/recliner. I haven't bought anything else.

I forgot about our car! I guess that was technically our HUGE baby related purchase. Although I had to buy something new anyway since my timing belt broke on my old car. I never thought I'd say it, but I kind of love the van.

I LOVE my van. It's so nice having the automatic sliding doors.

[requiressnacks]

I never checked in!

Lucy, I'm so glad your NT scan went well!
littlelion, I got my first belly pat as well. I explained that it's not baby - it's just fat. LOL
emilie, glad you're feeling good and you're appointment-free!
mrsp121308, we are anatomy scan-twinsies! I can't wait to find out what these babies are. More power to you for being team green.


Week/Fruit/Team: 15w1d/Avocados/Finding out!

Symptoms? Feeling pretty good. Just killer allergies/congestion. But i'll take that over nausea anyday.

Appointments this week? Nothing until Monday.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nada

GTKY: What is the first big baby-related purchase you've made or planned? Have you picked up any little things?

First big planned purchase is a new car, which is probably happening within the next month. My car is 10 years old and on it's last leg. Time to upgrade! I haven't purchased anything for babies, but after the Anatomy Scan I am definitely picking up some cute clothes. Just a couple outfits!

[lastnamewithheld]

Week/Fruit/Team: 13w3d!/ Jalapeno/ unknown


Symptoms? my pants don't fit anymore.


Appointments this week? not this week, next OB appointment is June 22nd


Rants/Raves/Questions? newp.


GTKY: What is the first big baby-related purchase you've made or planned? Have you picked up any little things? I have a shameful amount of things already. Carseat and extra base, a high-chair, a decent CD stash, a nice starter stash of neutral clothes etc etc. It satisfies my type A to get these things taken care of and off my list.

[tbonequeen13]

Hi ladies! I'm new here so I hope you don't mind me jumping in

Week/Fruit/Team: 13!!/Pea pod/not ready to say (DH and I know but nobody else does)


Symptoms? Exhaustion (it's getting better) and RLP especially when I sneeze


Appointments this week? Nope!


Rants/Raves/Questions? I got nothing.


GTKY: What is the first big baby-related purchase you've made or planned? Have you picked up any little things? We haven't bought anything yet. With my history, I'm a bit superstitious about buying things so early. We won't need much since we kept all of the stuff we used from DD except the infant seat (it was in a car wreck).

[babycowbell]

Hi guys! I'm around just had a busy couple of weeks. Glad for all the good updates.

Week/Fruit/Team: 15w1d, avocado, finding out

Symptoms? Mostly gone now, still random headaches but less than before

Appointments this week? OB today but just supposed to be 15 minutes or so, but I'll be glad to hear the heartbeat again!

Rants/Raves/Questions? We're touring another day care his week so hopefully that goes well, I'd like to have that all resolved soon.

GTKY: What is the first big baby-related purchase you've made or planned? Have you picked up any little things? Literally the only thing we've bought is the onesie we used for our Facebook announcement. I don't know why, it just doesn't feel like it's time to buy stuff yet. I also bought a Bella band and a maxi dress, I guess those kind of count, but not big obviously. Planning to buy a second car, we're a one car family now, but haven't fully committed. We have to figure out a second parking spot since we live downtown.

[mrsp121308]

babycowbell, I feel the same about buying things. It just feels strange to me to be buying baby items. Maybe when I'm further along?

[fikafairy67]

Week/Fruit/Team: 12w5d, apricot?, team finding out

Symptoms? I THINK my vomiting may have stopped (last time was a week ago). Nausea has been fading since last week, boobs are still really sore and suddenly got ginormous. Some stretching annoyances, but nothing major.

Appointments this week? regular OB appt tomorrow afternoon

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm rethinking getting the NT scan and screening after all. I'm not AMA and have no history, though. I'm going to talk with the OB tomorrow and see if it's not too late, and I should probably ask my insurance if they will cover it... anyone else not AMA and get the testing done?

GTKY: What is the first big baby-related purchase you've made or planned? Have you picked up any little things? We bought a new glider a few weeks ago, and I picked up a single hand breast pump (Tommee Tippee) at Ross for like $6. THe pump I only got because I have to be on the road frequently for work, and I'm hoping that BFing works out this time around. That's it. Most of what we have from DS is reusable, although I may be getting a bonus brand new carseat because my dad threw away the extra base without thinking they might need it again (my mom is going to be watching LO#2 when I go back to work). The only big thing we need to think about on the horizon is a new dresser for DH to match mine, so we can move his into LO's bedroom.

[requiressnacks]

I am so jealous that you are feeling flutters already, @kc295905!

[Becca]

Just a post and run for me this week. I'm in Kansas City for work this week with little free time. I cannot wait for my summer vacation to start on Sunday.

Week/Fruit/Team: 15/advocado/finding out

Symptoms? Lots of RLP

Appointments this week? Nothing again until end of next week

Rants/Raves/Questions? Missing wine like crazy. There is a lot of night drinking at this work event, I keep getting made fun of for sticking to water.

GTKY: What is the first big baby-related purchase you've made or planned? Have you picked up any little things? Umm...the first this will likely be a new carpet for the nursery.

[requiressnacks]

@kcnumbers, I cannot wait for that moment! It looks so beautiful and peaceful.

[emilie]

I'm hoping this kiddo comes before New Years Eve so I can celebrate appropriately

[kaydee0402]

Week/Fruit/Team: 13/Peach/Green (for now)

Symptoms? Still tired, but I think the nausea is FINALLY done. Now I'm hungry all the time. I'm so excitied to be in the second trimester/I feel awesome phase.

Appointments this week? None.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Would y'all judge me for wearing Depends to bed? Just kidding...I think

GTKY: What is the first big baby-related purchase you've made or planned? Have you picked up any little things? We bought a minivan and I guess DS's new bedroom set counts as baby related since the baby is taking the nursery.

[legalbeagle]

Week/Fruit/Team:
12 weeks 6 days/apricot/pink

Symptoms?
Everything is so much better than it was two weeks ago. I almost feel like my normal self.

Appointments this week?
NT scan was on Monday. Nothing for a while.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
None

GTKY: What is the first big baby-related purchase you've made or planned? Have you picked up any little things?
Some baby clothes online. I confess that I have put together a secret registry with all the stuff we will need to buy (doesn't even count the stuff that we already have from DS) and it is a lot/expensive! And since people are adding cars as a baby-related expense I think our biggest baby-related expense will be some shelving in the office/guestroom/nursery that we will desperately need for storage. I need to check out the Container Store.

[kaydee0402]

Any STM/TTM, etc. feel like this pregnancy is flying? I feel like I just got my BFP yesterday and now I'm in the second trimester.
