What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? Denise's pygmy seahorse

Any fun symptoms going on? Nausea (constant), hungry (almost constant), exhausted (constant). Same shit, different day. I am trying to take comfort in my symptoms, but it makes teaching a total drag.

Any appointments this week? I have my u/s and follow up appointment this afternoon. I am a nervous wreck.

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? We told my mom and step-father about this pregnancy when they came to visit this weekend. They're so excited and it was so great to get to tell them in person. I didn't get to do that when I was pregnant with DS, so I'm glad we got the opportunity. Also, I'm living in leggings and yoga pants. I feel like I look pregnant, which, totally not fair body!

Any fun symptoms going on? Tired. Going to bed at 8:30 every night.

Any appointments this week? No

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? Yesterday I was starving and asked dh to get me food. He literally went through a list of 75 things that didn't sound good. I started crying because I was starving but was frustrated because I couldn't think of what to eat. Holy hormones.

[vlinder]

How far along are you? 7+6 based on ovulation, 8+1 if you go by Friday's u/s. We'll see what this Friday's u/s says and go from there.

Any appointments this week? Follow up ultrasound on Friday.

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts?
I left for a girls trip right after my appointment so I didn't get a change to update then, but I had an excellent u/s this past Friday at 7+3, measured 7+5 with a 162 HR! So happy to see that flicker. Also super glad that I had been temping and I knew that I'd be well behind what my LMP would suggest. I get to go back this Friday for a reassurance u/s as well.

[frecklesnbrains]

How far along are you? 9w6d

What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? I'm a southern pecan for one more day, then I think I get to be a kumquat.

Any fun symptoms going on? Nauseous this morning after feeling really good all weekend. Meh.

Any appointments this week? YES! Finally! Wednesday morning is my first OB appointment.

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? Too much stressful stuff at work this week with a MAJOR deadline looming next Monday. Between that and my appointment I'm just ready for the week to be over already.

[csat]

How far along are you? 10w1d

What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? Cocktail shrimp

Any fun symptoms going on? Feeling okay, not sure if it's due to moving towards the end of the 1st trimester or cutting out the iron from my prenatals. Still tired though and just generally meh about doing anything, I have no motivation to do anything, yet I get antsy and annoyed just sitting around.

Any appointments this week? No, still waiting to see my OB, later next week. The wait is getting to me.

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? I'm starting to stress about the logistics of what will hopefully be my new job, the commute, drop off and pick ups with DS, not to mention with the new baby.

[manybellsdown]

Happy new week, everyone!

9w1d

Tater tot!

My main symptoms are exhaustion, hunger (now I'd really like some tater tots), nausea when not eating, major dizziness on moving from sitting to standing. They are all easing a bit, causing first tri worry/mindfuckery.

None till after Thanksgiving.

Just trying to focus on the ultrasound from two weeks ago. I have a Doppler from last time and of course can't find it anywhere. We've moved in the past year and naturally still have piles of boxes in the basement. I even had a very vivid dream, in which I pictured the box and then pictures myself finding it. Which didn't result in me finding it.

[cattuccino]

How far along are you? 10w3d

What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? The golden snitch!

Any fun symptoms going on? No. Definitely no fun up in here. Queasiness, constipation, peeing (but more at night!), insomnia and weird dreams when I do sleep.

Any appointments this week? Nada

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? I'm sort of between real pants and maternity pants. All my maternity pants are full panel and my belly isn't big enough for that, but folding feels weird, but my regular pants are too tight....and my regular undies are too tight, such an uncomfortable feeling. Also, my c section scar has been giving me tenderness and sensitivity this last week, making the pant situation more of a pain. Literally.
Apparently I'm whiny today. Sorry guys

[broadwaymama]

How far along are you? 10 weeks 2 days

What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? Tart kumquat

Any fun symptoms going on? Finally got on mess for my 24/7 nausea and it helps until about 4:00. So between the hours of 7am and 3:30 I want to eat all the things and then at 4:00 I start to regret it! But I'm so relived to have relif!!

Any appointments this week?nope

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? I'm hating on work right now because my high school students are being extremely difficult. I just have to make it to the 20th then their show is open and I don't have to deal with it anymore!!! Until the musical.

[twobananas]

How far along are you? 7 weeks

What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? Tic tac!

Any fun symptoms going on? So tired. I never nap and I've napped 4 times already this pregnancy. I really don't remember feeling this bad with my last two pregnancies.

Any appointments this week? First ultrasound next Monday!

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? Totally rocking the maternity pants today, even though I could probably still fit in my normal pants. I figure that if I'm miserable, at least I deserve to be comfortable!

You sound exactly like I did with my first pregnancy.  I even said something to the doctor and she told me I'm crazy and to be careful what I wish for.  This time around I have way more symptoms and I would gladly take my last pregnancy over this one!  But I totally get it.....feeling awful is a little reassuring.  Enjoy the way you feel and try not to stress too much.  I know it's easier said than done but I always felt better when I knew that no everyone felt terrible so know that it's normal!

[nymama917]

How far along are you? 7w 1d

What fruit, etc? A wee raspberry/playing die

Symptoms? Tired and nauseous. Nothing ever sounds good to eat but when I stop eating I feel terrible so I try to keep snacking. Napped this weekend and it was glorious. Started peeing like a million times at night...fun time tip-toeing past my 2yo (small apt) and praying she doesn't hear me

Appointments? Was supposed to go this week for dating ultrasound but the doctor is out this week so we are going next Monday.

Rants/Raves: Just generally miserable and cranky. I do so much better on weekends because when I get tired I can lay down and rest for a bit but work is the pits. I do feel a little bit better today than I have in a while so maybe it's a good sign. Also my sense of smell is outrageous...in a bad way. I can smell everything and most of it smells bad!

[pbandj714]

How far along are you? 6w4d

What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? ladybug/rainbow sprinkle!

Any fun symptoms going on? I've been really tired and unmotivated. Food aversions come and go, but I pretty much only crave bland foods or pizza and cheeseburgers. Uh oh.

Any appointments this week? I had my first ultrasound today! Found out that it's TWINS! Eeep. Baby A measured 6w2d, and Baby B measured 6w1d. Both had little flickering heartbeats!

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? Um. Holy shit. I am so thankful and scared and overjoyed with the way today went! This will certainly be an adventure!!

[westisleflower]

How far along are you? 10w6d

What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? As of tomorrow a lime! Crazy!

Any fun symptoms going on? Going to bed at 8:30 and easily sleeping until 7am (minus the pee breaks), Can't stand the smell of soy sauce or chicken... The past few days I've been a bit more nauseous than usual, so thats been fun. I've also been really bitchy the last few days for no reason.

Any appointments this week? The next one is next Monday 11/16, I have a glucose test that day too (I am higher risk with my hypothyroidism).

Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? I feel bad that I am never in the mood for sex. Poor DH has been getting it a lot less than usual... I hope I can get back into the mood in a couple weeks. The weird part is I've been having a lot of sex dreams lately, which usually puts me in the mood but it hasn't.

Pelvic rest does not sound like a good time, how long do you have to be on rest? I'll order you a pizza and Netflix to help pass the time. I'll suggest Homeland. I just started season 1 and I like it so far!
