I have to do some editing tonight and then will totally post them. We went with the "We have waited so long for this day we couldn't pick one way to tell the world" and so did like 10 different scenes

How far along are you? 12 weeks 3 days

How big is baby? Large plum

Upcoming appointments this week? None until Dec 1st

Any new symptoms or changes? Not really- still have heartburn but that's about it

Rants/Raves/Questions? Just surprised at how fast my belly is expanding! At this rate, I will look 40 weeks when I'm 20 weeks!

GTKY: What are your plans for the holidays? Any worries or excitements? Seeing my family- I've talked about this before but just nervous to tell my family about the pregnancy. I'm worried about how they will respond and if it will ruin our time there. Hopefully everything goes well though!

No Thanksgiving celebrations here, but this weekend is first advent which has some traditions for us. On Saturday I will make peppernuts with my MIL and SIL and at some point after that I will start decorating for Christmas!

How big is baby? 2 Lego Men


Upcoming appointments this week? Nothing. First ultrasound with OB is 11/30


Any new symptoms or changes? Morning sickness has been subsiding the past few days, which has been a welcome relief.


Rants/Raves/Questions? I went to my first OB appt yesterday. I was pretty annoyed because they made me wait to schedule the appt until after they had my RE's notes, and then it seems like they didn't even look at the notes. I only saw a nurse, and it was a very basic, generic overview. She didn't even know I was carrying twins, so nothing was tailored to my specific situation (IVF or multiples)


GTKY: What are your plans for the holidays? Any worries or excitements? Going to my parents house for Thanksgiving. We are telling my BF's daughter I am pregnant. She is 6 and she has been dying for me to have a baby forever, so we are super excited to tell her.

I also feel like my belly has expanded quite a bit. This is my first pregnancy and I am overweight to begin with, so I don't think it's noticeable to anyone but me, but I can definitely tell.

I have some fluff in my belly mainly from my previous pregnancies so it just looks like I've gained weight to others.  I'm not a fan of how I look at this stage in pregnancy- just overall fluffy/chubby looking, not pregnant looking.

How far along are you? 11 weeks
How big is baby? Ping pong ball
Upcoming appointments this week? Just a lab draw tomorrow to check my thyroid.
Any new symptoms or changes? Maybe the nausea is less?
Rants/Raves/Questions? At least with the weight I've lost, I'm not showing quite as much as I was concerned I would be at this point. We're telling family at Thanksgiving, but I'm trying to postpone the big announcement for at least another week, as one of my best friends just miscarried.
GTKY: What are your plans for the holidays? Any worries or excitements? Thanksgiving with my family on Thanksgiving, shopping on Black Friday with friends, then pizza with my inlaws on Saturday, as the rest of MH's family has decided to celebrate on Sunday, when we can't be there. I'm a little worried that the news is going to get public a little fast since we won't see most of MH's family in person. I'm excited to tell people and not worry about concealing/disguising my belly.

How far along are you? 10 weeks

How big is baby? Lego mini figure

Upcoming appointments this week? Not until next week

Any new symptoms or changes? Less nausea (only first thing in the morning and late at night now). Super bloated, bad gas, slow digestion.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm over the acne. It's painful and looks so bad.

GTKY: What are your plans for the holidays? Any worries or excitements? For Thanksgiving we're spending four days with H's sister, her H, our nephew (2.5), and H's parents. Also all going to an extended family get-together which will be fun. No worries about his family.

For Christmas, I'm spending four days with my immediate family. H has to work so he can't come. My parents voted opposite of me this election and I'm concerned politics might come up. I have talking points prepared to keep the conversation calm. Hopefully it won't come to that.

[marshian]

Forgot to add: We're telling H's parents and sister (and her H) about the baby tomorrow! Will be exciting!

[ihatepizza]

How are things going?? So far so good! Feeling a lot better this week
How big is baby? 13 weeks!
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope, not until Dec 3rd for my anatomy scan
Any new symptoms or changes? A huge decrease in nausea and an increase in energy (I only seem to have 3 puking episodes a day and the nausea leaves me alone in between- there is hope !). Now to just quiet my PGAL brain and try not to look for problems
Rants/Raves/Questions? Any weight gain tips? I have a very restricted diet (no gluten/ dairy/ raw vegetables). I drink ensure plus calories but am down 10 pounds from all the vomiting (which is still happening but a lot less).

GTKY: What are your plans for the holidays? Any worries or excitements? No holidays here, very Canadian! I am very excited for first round of Christmas parties!

How big is baby? Brussel sprout

Upcoming appointments this week? Maybe Panorama test next week, depending on insurance

Any new symptoms or changes? Evening nausea seems worse some days

Rants/Raves/Questions? DH quit his job on Tuesday and we were on his insurance. We have coverage until the 30th and next week I have to deal with being put on my school's insurance. It will be fine but just annoying.

GTKY: What are your plans for the holidays? Any worries or excitements? We told my family yesterday and DH's later today. Hoping the news will keep political talks to a minimum.

How big is baby? Brussels sprout



Upcoming appointments this week? Nope



Any new symptoms or changes? My boobs are much sorer the past few days. I have more energy during the day, but if I overdo it, like I did cooking for hours yesterday, I crash hard.



Rants/Raves/Questions? The Anne of Green Gables remake made me cry so hard! And I don't usually cry at movies.



GTKY: What are your plans for the holidays? Any worries or excitements? We live a plane ride away from family, so we're staying home this year. This is the first year that DD is aware of Santa, so we'll have to tell her some presents are from him.

[mreve]

pinecone21 tell me more about this Anne of Green Gables remake, I haven't heard anything about it. Is it good? I love Anne, but I'm wary of a remake because I can only picture Megan Follows in the lead role. I went to see an AoGG musical a few years ago and had trouble enjoying it.
I tried to convince H to consider the name Gilbert for a baby and he wouldn't. 🙁

How far along are you? 12 weeks:)

How big is baby? Chicken nugget. Fitting because I love those things.

Upcoming appointments this week? YES! Ob appt wednesday.

Any new symptoms or changes? Nausea is letting up.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Trucking along and nervous but excited for our appt. Just worried about what if's. Everyone at my dads Thanksgiving somehow found out without us telling. So that was nice (sarcasm font).

GTKY: What are your plans for the holidays? Any worries or excitements? I nailed some decent time off this year, so I'm excited about that. Also, I have put a big dent in my shopping so I'm feeling good.

It was on PBS on Thanksgiving night. It was supposed to start at 8, but apparently they started it early because I missed the first 20 minutes or so. I really liked the actress who played Anne, maybe even better than Megan Follows. I didn't like Gilbert as well, though. I had quite a crush on the original Gilbert when I was a kid. 😊 and Marilla wasn't stern enough. I don't know if they're going to show it again, but maybe you can find it online. Anne is always worth watching.

Thanks! I will for sure be trying to find it! Let's be honest, I probably would even if you said it wasn't any good.
I always loved Matthew because he reminded me of my grandpa
