How are you feeling? Totally normal. No symptoms yet. I'm enjoying it but it makes me nervous too.

Anything you want to vent about? Nothing to vent. I just found out that my sister is pregnant too (major surprise for her) so I am pretty excited for that.

[yoshijo28]

How far along are you? 9w3d.. opps I mean 9w4d

What is baby's size? Cherry

Any appointments this week? Nothin for 3 weeks.

How are you feeling? Better. Could be because I had 4 days off and slept a lot so I'm not so exhausted. Also not as ravenous. I read symptoms improve sometimed around 10w so maybe it's just happening a bit earlier...we'll see.

Anything you want to vent about?
Nope, I'm good right now

GTKY: salty things, like tortilla chips, crackers, and cheese

Anything you want to vent about? Nope

GTKY: what types of food have you been craving? None. Food is disgusting

[jessa1228]

How far along are you? 8 weeks

What is baby's size? A small lego brick

Any appointments this week? Nope

How are you feeling? The nausea seems to have subsided a bit. It's only bad in the morning and if I let myself get too hungry. I'm so effing tired and have no energy though.

Anything you want to vent about? My parents saw old friends of mine a few days ago and told them I was pregnant. I received messages from two of them congratulating me, that's how I found out. I immediately texted my parents and asked them to please refrain from telling anyone else until H and I were ready, and since then I've heard radio silence from my dad so I'm pretty sure he's mad because he's petty like that 😡

GTKY: what types of food have you been craving? Nothing really. I didn't really have any cravings with DS, only food aversions. It's still early so I'm wondering if that will kick in in a few more weeks.

[maddisonrose]

Thanks yoshijo28 for remembering our appt! Sooo excited to finally see our little peanut today

How far along are you? 9+2

What is baby's size? A cherry

Any appointments this week? Just our ultrasound today! Yayyyy

How are you feeling? Better with diclectin but still a bit nauseous and SO.DAMN.TIRED. Seriously I don't know how I'm going to make it through the day being back at work and not being able to nap.

Anything you want to vent about? Not really, just glad that we can get back into a routine and DS can go back to daycare and get some energy out. The winter sucks, and I feel bad that we can't get outside more but it's -15. Counting down the days until spring

GTKY: what food types have you been craving? I'm slowly coming out of the phase where all food is gross and makes me want to run to the bathroom. Mostly have just been craving fresh fruit or smoothies with spinach in it

What is baby's size? blueberry

Any appointments this week? I'll have my first appointment Friday. It's a little early, but it was that or wait until the end of January. It'll mean a trans-vag ultrasound, but whatever. I (kind of) secretly hope they'll find two.

How are you feeling? Bad. There's a stomach bug going through the family now too, so I'm not sure how much of my current level of sick is pregnancy related and how much was me fighting the stomach bug. I feel significantly better today, so I think yesterday was my day to be sick. My 2 year old spent Sunday throwing up and my 4 year old is passed out on the couch after barfing all morning. My sense of smell is in overdrive.

Anything you want to vent about? I'm struggling with insurance this go around. I'm on a CA exchange plan that should have covered the practice I want to go to (same one I had my other two with). Turns out there are two separate OB practices at the hospital and my current plan covers the wrong one. I think I'm going to have to switch plans, which at least the exchange allows through January 15th, but then my kids' pediatrician won't be covered under the other plan. Which means pediatrician shopping. But I think I'd rather just find a family practice that can take all of us than have to give up my midwife care.

GTKY: what types of food have you been craving? All food is gross.

What is baby's size? One of those popper fireworks.

Any appointments this week? Possibly another u/s, but I feel leary about have 2 1 week apart.

How are you feeling? Nausea on and off all day again which is a relief after it disappeared for 3 days.

Anything you want to vent about? I had a small scare over the weekend with some very light spotting and loss of symptoms but we had a blood draw and everything looks good!


GTKY: what types of food have you been craving? Mashed potatoes.

[cravingchocolate05]

How far along are you? 7w0d
What is baby's size? A blueberry
Any appointments this week? Friday the 6th, first apt

How are you feeling? Queasy, tired, sore boobs, and crazy bloating. Tight waistbands have been hurting me on my right side, so I've already broken out my belly band.

Anything you want to vent about? My ob office always takes my blood pressure first thing at my appts before I know how the baby is and it's always really high because I'm a worrier. It makes me feel ridiculous, but I can't control it, and I know it will happen again Friday. I guess it's against policy to take blood pressure at the end of the appt, when it's always lower.

GTKY: what types of food have you been craving?

All the cheese, but particularly Havarti and Cheddar.

Actually they can take it at the end, there is nothing I know of that says you cant. We were also told that if we took someone's BP and it was Hugh that we should always try again later because people get white coat syndrome and are nervous at the beginning.

[PepperPottsJ]

elliecat17, ugh now I want mashed potatoes!!!

[cravingchocolate05]
