Does any one else feel guilty "liking" some of these? I feel guilty liking that you're talking about crappy sleep, morning sickness....pubic symphysis (had to look that one up!).
But I do like we're all still here and experiencing these things
I tend to "like" things as more of an acknowledgment and/or in reference to whatever was good in the post, not the shitty shit.
Any fun symptoms going on? Not really a symptom but having frequent flutters!
Can I just tell you how jealous I am? With my first pregnancy I didn't feel A THING until 23 weeks, and I'm pretty sure it will be a similar situation this time around too and that bums me out!
Don't be bummed! I didn't feel anything for a long time with my 1st and it was probably close to 20 weeks with my 2nd. I think once you know what your feeling you feel it earlier! Who knows maybe tomorrow is your day!!
What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? Date, almost a lime!
Any fun symptoms going on? Nausea, on and off. Still exhausted and not sleeping great. Trying to drink more caffeine to help with the headaches.
Any appointments this week? First OB appointment tomorrow! I've already had three with my RE, so hopefully tomorrow is great, but I'm starting to feel pretty anxious now that it's so close.
Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? After every appointment, I say I'll be able to breathe a little bit easier, but man.. PGAL brain is the pits sometimes. I keep waiting for the ball to drop. Wish I could just stop it.
GTKY: What is the weirdest pregnancy advice you have gotten yet? None yet. Not very many people know.
bighair12, I hope that it was nothing and that you can get some reassurance soon!
teggy20, I hear you on waiting for the ball to drop. My OB's office apparently had some clerical issues a few weeks back so I've received multiple unexpected calls from them to clarify info about my appt and billing. Every time I see that they're calling, I have this momentary panic that they're calling to tell me that something is wrong, even though there is no medical basis for them to reach out to me - I have all test results, sono was great, etc. It's just PGAL brain rearing its ugly head. I'm hoping that once I can feel movement that it will help to ease my mind a bit.
Just got back from visiting family this week where I had no access and low data on my phone so finally able to catch up and join in again!
How far along are you? 11 weeks
What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? Brussel sprout
Any fun symptoms going on? I felt like I was starting to feel better as far as ms goes but then it will hit me and be awful so it's not all day any more but when it's there it's awful.
Any appointments this week? I have one today yay!
Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? Excited to hear the heartbeat today and anxious for finding out what this baby is! I think we are going to do the 16 week one which means only 5 more weeks
GTKY: What is the weirdest pregnancy advice you have gotten Haven't gotten much this time. With DD I hated the get your sleep now comment but after having her I get it it is worse but I felt like I'm already not sleeping well so stop saying that!
What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? army guy or chicken nugget
Any fun symptoms going on? I don't want to get ahead of myself but I'm on day 2 of no nausea in the morning so I'm hoping that the nausea is subsiding! The round ligament pain is picking up though and I keep waking up at night any time I have to roll over because I get the weird pulling pain. I need to break out the pillow.
Any appointments this week? NT scan on Monday!
Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? I had some rants yesterday, but after hearing my cousin's good news last night nothing can bring me down!
GTKY: What is the weirdest pregnancy advice you have gotten yet? I haven't received too much advice this go-around other than to "think positive" when I express concerns about my loss and having difficulty being fully excited about this pregnancy. Oh thanks for that, if only I had thought positive last time!! *eye roll*
As for actual advice, I just don't understand the 'get your sleep now' advice. That's not how sleep works, people. You can't stockpile it and save it for later when you need an extra boost. It's just a weird thing to say. It kind of goes along with the 'Just wait until...' people. "Just wait until the baby stays up all night." "Just wait until the baby spits up all over you." "Just wait until big brother gets jealous of the new baby." I don't understand when people get joy out of someone else having a potentially difficult time. My MIL is like this and it bugs me. I guess I did have some rants after all...
What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? Profiterole(cream puff)
Any fun symptoms going on? Super vivid dreams every night, acne, bloated, sore boobs and abdominal pain when I sneeze, also sneezy, & smells gross me out.
Any appointments this week? No, 1 next week though.
Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? Feeling down today. The News & other crap has me upset. At least work should be okay, no meetings and plenty to keep me busy.
GTKY: not anything I can think of. MIL is just really supportive, reassuring and calm. She had home births & is very much into how birth is nothing to fear and our bodies are made for it.
What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? Matchbox car.
Any fun symptoms going on? I'm starting to feel more like myself and not as exhausted as before. Other than the expanding belly, I'm feeling ok.
Any appointments this week? I just had an ultrasound on Tuesday. I had had some bleeding on November 23 and went to the er. Everything seemed to be ok and the guess is that it was from using Monistat to treat a yeast infection. They scheduled me for an ultrasound just to make sure everything was ok. The ultrasound went well and we got to see baby for the first time. The heartbeat was strong at 164. It was so nice to see baby moving around and doing fine. I won't know the full results of the ultrasound until January 4 at my next doctor appointment.
Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? My mom bought me some new maternity tops and they are cute. I'm excited to wear them. I look like I'm further long and I'm not looking forward to the "are you sure it's not twins?" comments. Yes, I got those comments several times when I was pregnant with DD. I just have really big babies.
GTKY: What is the weirdest pregnancy advice you have gotten yet? No advice yet, but it is my 3rd. I have received a "you're crazy" comment and "how many more kids do you plan on having!?" comment. I have a feeling I'll be getting more of those.

How far along are you? 10w2d
What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? Kumquat
Any fun symptoms going on? Still nauseous all. day. long.
Any appointments this week? Nope
Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? Not really, though I am losing my patience at work a lot more than usual (I am a teacher).
GTKY: What is the weirdest pregnancy advice you have gotten yet? Nothing yet with this pregnancy, but with DD, some random lady at the grocery store told me to start "toughening up" my nipples if I was planning to breastfeed. And then, another random lady in the other line agreed with her. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.
bighair12, Have everything crossed for you! I am glad the spotting stopped. Let us know how the appointment goes.
After 20 minutes with the Doppler and now heartbeat they said to come back next week. I then called a friend who works in ultrasound and she scanned me. Bean had the hiccups and was moving all over with a fabulous heartbeat.
What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? A Roborovski hamster apparently. Google it, adorable.
Any fun symptoms going on? Same old. Nausea, tired, etc. Sleeping is getting uncomfortable, which is weird. It isn't that there is any obvious change in my body, just everything feeling a little off. I got a snoogle, I love it!
Any appointments this week? Had an NT scan today. It took FOREVER. Bugger wouldn't cooperate until finally the tech decided to let a different pair of hands try it and another tech came in. I don't know if it just needed a slightly different angle or style, but the baby immediately stopped flailing around and went "here is one angle *flip* here is your other angle, that good? Cool." I feel like my lower abdomen is slightly bruised at this point! They didn't tell me if everything was ok, but I looked at the paperwork and googled the mm measurement next to the NT line and we are well within the range of normal.
Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? I'm tired of worrying, but I guess that is what parenthood is? I got to see the baby looking healthy and fine, then immediately had to start worrying about the NT measurement, then I'll worry about the anatomy scan, then whether they'll stick for long enough for everything to fully develop, then I guess everything else my child ever does!
GTKY: What is the weirdest pregnancy advice you have gotten yet? Nothing weird so far, but the circle of people who know is really small.

I'm glad you got to see your Bean. Really fucked up how your doc handled that. That's inhumane. WTH?

Yeah, I would have flipped out. Awesome you have a friend with ultrasound access!

How far along are you? 12w2d
What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? No idea
Any fun symptoms going on? The blump is getting big by the end of the day. And the boobs are getting ridiculous and so itchy. I might have to go bra shopping soon which I dread.
Any appointments this week? Today. They were able to find the hb via Doppler which was good.
Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? My co-worker gave me her Doppler yesterday and I was a little nervous because I couldn't really find anything definite last night. But after my appt today I was able to fibd it easy tonight to show H since he couldn't be at the appt
GTKY: What is the weirdest pregnancy advice you have gotten yet? None really. But people are lucky I haven't punched them for the "oh, everyone always gets pregnant after they adopt" comments. It makes me so ragey from both the IF and adoptive parent standpoint.
What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? Large macaron
Any fun symptoms going on? Growing boobs and belly. I've had back pain from the start and it seems to be getting worse. Might be time to see someone for it.
Any appointments this week? Tomorrow, first ob.
Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? I'm stoked to be entering 2nd trimester. 1/3 of the way there! What??
GTKY: What is the weirdest pregnancy advice you have gotten yet? No advice given yet but we still have plenty of time.
What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? Lime
Any fun symptoms going on? Evening and night-time nausea/vomiting
Any appointments this week? Nope, not until 12/14
Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? I keep chugging right along and I'm starting to feel really encouraged about this pregnancy. I've told a few more people who knew about my losses and they've all been super happy for me.
GTKY: What is the weirdest pregnancy advice you have gotten yet? I haven't really gotten much other than people who "just know" what sex I'm having. Ok well you've got a 50/50 shot of being right, so I'm not that impressed!

How far along are you? 14 weeks (yay for 2nd tri!)
What fruit/cute animal/weird item are you packing this week? troll doll
Any fun symptoms going on? Constant hunger, exhaustion, emotional
Any appointments this week? None until 12/28
Rants/Raves/Random thoughts? I got braces on Wednesday and my mouth is so nasty in the morning I think my morning sickness is going to come back. The Invisalign braces hurt like hell, keep me from eating when I'm hungry (because they have to come out and that's not easy at work), and are drying out my mouth. I'm so ticked I wasn't told this would happen before I started them or I would have never done in while pregnant.
GTKY: What is the weirdest pregnancy advice you have gotten yet? I haven't gotten any but this is 2.0 for us, with my first it was to limit my exercising as much as possible. That's just plain impossible when you have a brand new puppy that constantly needs to go outside.

Wow, that is cold on their part. I can't imagine waiting a week to try again. Glad you had a friend to help you out and that the LO is doing well!
Nothing yet with this pregnancy, but with DD, some random lady at the grocery store told me to start "toughening up" my nipples if I was planning to breastfeed. And then, another random lady in the other line agreed with her. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.
Er, I'd be afraid to ask how one would go about doing that...

I'm sorry to report that I've heard of people suggesting sandpaper.
