Good morning lovelies!

How many weeks are you? 7 weeks

How big is baby? Size of a blueberry (.51 inches)

Symptoms/rants/raves: So much peeing, tired all the time, super weird dreams (which doesn't help with the tired all the time) , some mild nausea, and a super sense of smell

Upcoming or Recent Appointments: We have our first appointment this Friday! I'm so freaking excited! The nurse told me to expect to be there for around 2 hours! I'll do a urine test, blood tests, ultrasound, meet with the nurse and OB, and meet with billing.

GTKY -- Favorite cuisine?: I seriously love pasta. Really any carb. Right now though, I've been making a green smoothie for breakfast every morning and I wake up craving that smoothie. They're the bomb.

[geners]

Morning!!

How many weeks are you? 6

How big is baby? Sweet pea

Symptoms/rants/raves: Not much at all - waking up to pee more often... slightly uneasy stomach if I don't eat right away in the mornings.. and super tired much earlier than normal at night. That's about it.

Upcoming or Recent Appointments: First appointment is next Weds 4/29. I really wish it would hurry up and get here - I am not trying to complain about not having many symptoms since I know many of you ladies are suffering... but it makes me anxious. I would like to fast forward to my appointment and hear a heartbeat so it will feel real.

GTKY -- Favorite cuisine?: Mmmm. Mexican or Italian, depending on my mood.

How many weeks are you? 5

How big is baby? Appleseed?

Symptoms/rants/raves: Cramping and the spotting continues. I've been spotting for over a wk. I've had 3 official betas with my RE plus the one in the er and they have all been good. I'm just terrified something is wrong with the baby. I won't know for another week. MS is under control past few days which is good.

Upcoming or Recent Appointments: 6 w 1 day on 4/27 with my RE

GTKY -- Favorite cuisine?: Mexican

[RoLoMa]

Good morning all!

How many weeks are you? 7 weeks!

How big is baby? A raspberry according to Ovia

Symptoms/rants/raves: Feeling pretty darn good. Peeing a lot, nausea if I don't eat frequently enough, and sore boobs. The only really annoying thing would be that I find my face gets really greasy as the day goes on. This is new and gross. Not quite the "glow" I was hoping for.

Upcoming or Recent Appointments: 1st appointment is tomorrow afternoon. I am beyond excited but also so fricking nervous. I have to assume everything will be fine but it is really nerve wracking.

GTKY -- Favorite cuisine?: I LOVE all asian cuisine...chinese, japanese, vietnamese, thai. I also really love mexican food.

Good morning, lovelies!

How many weeks are you?
6 weeks today (yay!)

How big is baby?
Sweet pea

Symptoms/rants/raves:
My stomach bug is mostly gone. I'd say I'm about 75% right now. Still a little queasy, but that could just be the MS I had before this all started. DD is all better. But now, looks like Mr. BeachBum is getting his turn with the bug: he woke up in the middle of the night to puke. It's been a long weekend.....

Upcoming appointments:
First appt. is April 27th. It can't come fast enough. Logically, I know a little 24 hour bug probably didn't hurt the peanut....but I'd just like a little reassurance.

GTKY: Favorite cuisine?
Greek/Mediterranean! My absolute favorite thing to eat is a big, juicy chicken souvlaki pita with TONS of tzatziki sauce. Yummmmm..........

How big is baby? the size of a Maine <?> blueberry

Symptoms/rants/raves: Nausea can suck it and "morning" sickness is a misnomer.

Upcoming or Recent Appointments: 1st appointment on Thursday. I'm nervous.

GTKY -- Favorite cuisine?: Ethiopian! There isn't any where I live and I miss it terribly.

Cool! I honestly don't know anything about Ethopian cuisine. What kinds of foods are there?

Fingers crossed the spotting calms down lovegrilledcheese

Thanks! I'm just so scared. I know I've had 3 betas but it doesn't mean that I'm not worried. Sometimes it's red, sometimes pink, and sometimes brown, it's the red that worries me. I won't know if the spotting was nothing to worry about until next Mon.

BeachBum678: Ethiopian food is totally unique and tastes like no other cuisine. The staple is a bread made from the teff grain called injira -- it's spongy. On the plate of injira are different spoonfuls of things like lentils, greens, potatoes, and meat. Everyone shares by ripping off a piece of injira and scooping up the dishes with their hands.

And now I'm salivating.

Yummy! Ethiopian food is amazing. 

Did you try the honey wine when you were in Addis?

[ellewills618]

How big is baby? A blueberry =)

I've had honey wine before in DC (fun fact: DC has the biggest Ethiopian population outside of Ethiopia, which is where I learned to love the food), but was not a fan. I like my wine super dry. /snob

I didn't care for it either. I'm not into sweet wines.
