Week of 3/2 Check In!

[blanche]

Since we've started the daily ticker changes here, I think we can have this thread to have a general check in with folks:

How many weeks:

Fruit size:

Any appointments this week?: 

Symptoms:

Anything new this week?

Weekly goal:

GTKY -- If you could have lunch with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be:

[blanche]

How many weeks: 4w6d

Fruit size: Sesame seed

Any appointments this week?: Not for another 2 weeks, boo. We told my brother and he asked if we had gotten a blood test to confirm. My doc won't even do that for 8 weeks since I have no history of anything. So I POAS every couple days to reassure myself.

Symptoms: Nausea usually kicking in around 1-2pm. I can hardly wait to see how I do when I'm at work vs. on the couch watching House of Cards (sarcasm).

Anything new this week? The bloating is going down, phew. Otherwise the scale said last week I had already gained 3 pounds. Uh, no.

Weekly goal: Drink water. Join the gym down the street and get moving!

GTKY -- If you could have lunch with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be: I really want to have a conversation with Meryl Streep... she just seems so interesting.

[mtnmomma13]

How many weeks: 5 exactly

Fruit size: sesame or apple seed

Any appointments this week?: My friend is going to scan me on Thurs. I know we likely won't see anything, but it will put my mind at ease if we see a sac in my uterus (I have this weird paranoia about an ectopic).

Symptoms: Not really...boobs a little sore.

Anything new this week? Work is stressing me out.

Weekly goal: Work out 3x. It's been an effort in will to get myself to barre class!

GTKY -- If you could have lunch with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be: Oskar Schindler. I watched Schindler's List in middle school and have been fascinated with him ever since. Being part Jewish and having traveled to Auschwitz made him even more interesting to me.

[rztrumpet]

How many weeks:4w5d-5w

Fruit size:apple seed, I think

Any appointments this week?: 3 more weeks!

Symptoms:just general stuff

Anything new this week? Nope

Weekly goal: eat healthy!

GTKY -- If you could have lunch with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be: hmmm...probably CS Lewis, I think he would be interesting. ETA - reading other people's responses, I might change my mind to DH's father. He passed away when DH was 13, so obviously I've never met him.

[onyx]

How many weeks: 4 weeks 3 days

Fruit size: poppy seed

Any appointments this week?: No. My next appointment is 3/24

Symptoms: Nausea is getting better so I'm thankful for that, but I think it is because I'm getting up and eating earlier. I do feel nauseous all day though. Exhausted all the time, sore boobs, and hungry.

Anything new this week? Not really.

Weekly goal: Work out more and drink more water. I drink water all day but I feel like I'm not getting enough.

GTKY -- If you could have lunch with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be: I would love to have lunch with Rachel Mcadams. She's my woman crush. Or I would love to have lunch with my grandma; she died when I was 15. I would love for her to meet my son and ask her stuff that teenage me never bothered to ask about.

[ashleymarie26]

How many weeks: 4w 4d

Fruit size: tomato seed!

Any appointments this week?: had my first today, confirmed via another urine test that the 80 million other tests I took were correct went over benefits and payments, which was really reassuring since I'm pretty new to insurance stuff (it was on my parents until last October)

Symptoms: boobs are still sore, very dry skin (that's probably just winter!) And some nausea if I don't eat small meals every few hours. I feel completely exhausted By 6pm, and I pee all the time.

Anything new this week? Just happy to hear the doc confirm!

Weekly goal: continue exercising- gym at least 4 times this week. I'm a bit overweight, so I would like to try to avoid gaining much during the first tri.

GTKY -- If you could have lunch with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be: Thomas Keller- renowned french chef. (He'd also make the lunch- hehe!)

GTKY -- If you could have lunch with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be: Emby!!! My first baby. I've been thinking of him a lot since his due date is coming up and Green Bean is about the same age as he was.

He does charity work and promotion for education in areas such as post traumatic stress disorder and domestic violence.

snoris, for grazing throughout the day try fruit, dried fruit and nuts. I have a few packages of these things in my desk drawer. Snack size ziplock bags of Cheerios are my other go to.

Yes!  This is what I'm thinking too. I have kind of an active job where I'm rarely stationary, so I'll need very quick grab and go items like this.
