[housecarder]

Symptoms? Less vomiting but still tons of nausea, heartburn, and constipation. Starting to have weird cramps/round ligament pain.


Upcoming appts? Not until January. Waiting on my MaterniT21 results.


Rants/Raves? Excited to have Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off. I wasn't expecting that as a new nurse.


GTKY: Everything is bought, still have some gifts to wrap and will do that tonight since I am off. Probably should get a head start on baking.

[cavewmn]

How many weeks are you? 9w3d


Symptoms? Sore boobs, bloat, dunno what else since I'm sick.


Upcoming appts? January 15th & 20th


Rants/Raves? Ugh I have a cold and thought oj was a great way to help beat it. Well instead it made the citric acid in my urine go up and peeing burned like hell.


GTKY: Do you have everything ready for the upcoming holidays (gifts bought and wrapped)? If so how long have you been ready?
Keep changing gifts because how crappy I feel. Tomorrow/today we should be sending out some. Today or tomorrow we will finish the ones for here. Baking will be on the 24th.

[littlesthobo]

How many weeks are you? 8w3d

Symptoms? Nausea, fatigue, sore breasts, some lower back pain

Upcoming appts? Not until Jan

Rants/Raves? I have a cold and I'm just beat. I am off work for the holidays and am sending my toddler to daycare to have two days to myself, but now with my new job I'm spending my days hauling boxes and moving instead. My house is a train wreck and I haven't got half our decorations up. My advent calendar is in a plastic bag on the counter. At least we're not hosting?

I have 90% of my gifts bought and some are wrapped, so that's something! I have to get gift cards for DS' daycare teachers still, and DH's gift. And thank goodness for the cookie exchange at work, baking is done!

[mrss44]

How many weeks are you? 8 weeks, 1 day


Symptoms? Sore boobs, nausea (off and on), diarrhea, exhausted.


Upcoming appts? TODAY @ 1:00. I'm so nervous.


Rants/Raves? I am ready for my appt.. but super nervous. That's normal, right? What do they do at your first (8 wk) appt?


GTKY: Do you have everything ready for the upcoming holidays (gifts bought and wrapped)? If so how long have you been ready? I have everything bought, nothing wrapped. But I'm excited for Christmas. I much prefer giving then receiving.

[those3words]

How many weeks are you? 9w2d


Symptoms? Better...yesterday and this morning at least. Less nausea...well...at least the Zofran actually seems to do something now. Before it was not doing much. Sooooo tired still.


Upcoming appts? 12/29 with the OB nurse for a stupid lecture on how to eat properly and not vacuum while pregnant. Last pregnancy it was the biggest waste of an hour. I may be bitchy enough to cut her off this time.


Rants/Raves? I'm super bitchy these past few days. I'm just seething in anger about things. I don't like this feeling.


GTKY: Do you have everything ready for the upcoming holidays (gifts bought and wrapped)? If so how long have you been ready? Kinda sort of. We're phoning the rest in and ordering gift cards online.

[tootsie]

How many weeks are you?
10w 2d 

Symptoms?
Is wanting to rip my H's face off a symptom? He's getting on my nerves. And I'm sooo tired. 

Upcoming appts?
Not til January, but I can go in any time this week to do the genetic testing labs, so obviously I'm going to try to go today.

Rants/Raves?
Daycare is only open for a half day before holidays, including Christmas Eve, so they're closed at noon on Wednesday. I don't have a fucking half day! She's in daycare for a reason, because we both work full-time. We will have to do some complicated switcheroo to get the day covered, since I'm trying to save my PTO for maternity leave. Boo.

GTKY: Do you have everything ready for the upcoming holidays (gifts bought and wrapped)? If so how long have you been ready?
I have most of my shopping done, but there's a few people left   The last couple gifts are so tough. Everything I have bought is wrapped though, at least.

[cocobellaf]

How many weeks are you? 10w 0d


Symptoms? Heartburn like crazy, constant nausea still, fatigue, gas, sense of smell like WHOA


Upcoming appts? Next appt with OB is 1/5/16. I need to stop in this week to a lab to get my bloodwork going.


Rants/Raves? I smell everything, x a zillion. It's awful. I'm still miserable. Anxiously awaiting the glory that is supposed to be second tri.


GTKY: Do you have everything ready for the upcoming holidays (gifts bought and wrapped)? If so how long have you been ready? Nothing is wrapped, but I finished up my Christmas shopping by Thanksgiving this year, THANK GOD. I have one present left to buy and a bunch to wrap this week.

[lovegrilledcheese]

How many weeks are you? 11w1d

Symptoms? Still bad ms even on zofran and diclegis.

Upcoming appts? Waiting on genetic blood results. Next appt 1/13

Rants/Raves? I'm ready for ms to be done.

GTKY: Do you have everything ready for the upcoming holidays (gifts bought and wrapped)? If so how long have you been ready? Nope haven't wrapped gifts and I have one more to buy. I haven't even decorated for Xmas because I've been so sick.

[ginabini]

How many weeks are you?


11w1d


Symptoms?


B.L.O.A.T.E.D. My blump is seriously out of control. I told DH we are calling it baby bump instead of bloat (even though I know that's what it is). I'm only 5'3" so everything already feels squished in there.


Upcoming appts?


NT scan and related bloodwork on Jan 4th.


Rants/Raves?


We are heading home to CT on Wednesday and I absolutely cannot wait to FINALLY tell our families our good news!!!


GTKY: Do you have everything ready for the upcoming holidays (gifts bought and wrapped)? If so how long have you been ready?
Gifts bought, yes, Wrapped... about halfway done! Just started/finished this weekend!

[ginabini]

powerofbacon, mrss44, good luck with your appointments today!!

[sarcaztic10]

How many weeks are you? 8w 2d

Symptoms? Nausea, constipation, and my sense of smell is so strong.

Upcoming appts? Next ultrasound is on Wednesday and I am really nervous.

Rants/Raves? I have been feeling some stretching/light pain in my uterus/hip area and it's freaking me out. Not sure if it is something to worry about or not.

GTKY: Do you have everything ready for the upcoming holidays (gifts bought and wrapped)? If so how long have you been ready? I have this week off so I am wrapping presents today and I will make the cookie dough for sugar cookies tomorrow or today if I feel like it. I still want to buy one or two more stocking stuffers for DS.

[rungirlrun]

How many weeks are you? 8 w 3 d

Symptoms? Tired, nausea most evenings (thinking about dinner each day is so unappealing). But overall, can't complain. I'm just over this cold.

Upcoming appts? Not until Jan 13

Rants/Raves? After being delayed for 4 hours last night (took off at 2am), we have arrived in Florida! Yay!

GTKY: Do you have everything ready for the upcoming holidays (gifts bought and wrapped)? If so how long have you been ready? Yep mailed the last of the gifts a few days ago.

Good luck at your appt! I had my 8 week one on Thursday - did the general talk about the practice, how appointments would go, I got to ask questions, and I had an ultrasound. With my last pregnancy (different practice), there was no ultrasound at my first appt (just had my cervix checked) so not sure how yours works. Hope you get to see your little one and everything goes well!

Thank you! I'm going to the same practice my sister went to with my nephew and she had an ultrasound her 8 week appt but couldn't really remember what else happened. I have my fingers crossed for a healthy little bean!

[comicSans]

How many weeks are you?
12 + 1!

Symptoms?
A bit of nausea, food still generally unappealing

Upcoming appts?
Nope

Rants/Raves?
Feeling pretty good. Stopped taking unisom at night and the last 2 days I've felt more awake in the morning.

GTKY: Do you have everything ready for the upcoming holidays (gifts bought and wrapped)? If so how long have you been ready?
Just a few things left to wrap for the inlaws + laundry and packing. DH, DD and I did Christmas yesterday, so they're done, and gifts for my family shipped today so all was wrapped and packed over the weekend.

[harlowjune1984]

How many weeks are you?
9w1d

Symptoms?
Puked for the first time yesterday

Upcoming appts?
1/6 (that will be my first appointment)

Rants/Raves?
Event though I did absolutely nothing yesterday besides lounge around, I still feel like I am exhausted and need a break. My husband gets the rave of the week, as he knew that I wanted to get a Christmas tree but we were both swamped with work, it is pouring/flooding in our area, and I am exhausted. So I went and bought one for us yesterday, now we just have to get it up.

GTKY: Do you have everything ready for the upcoming holidays (gifts bought and wrapped)? If so how long have you been ready?
This year I only put up about 1/4 of our decorations. Really, I just decorated our mantle and put the little Christmas village in DD's room. Tree will go up on Wednesday. Gifts are all done, except for two that I need to get from an employee store (so DH has to be with me, since he is the one on the store list), which we will also do on Wednesday. Everything (except a few of DD's gifts) have been wrapped.

With my first pregnancy, they did a pap (since I needed one anyway), asked me a bunch of questions about my health, and then did an ultrasound.....I was 8 weeks at that point. I think sometimes it depends on the doctor, as a couple of my friends didn't have ultrasounds at their 8 week appointment, just went over health information, and had dating ultrasounds towards the end of their 1st Tri. 

[ellebelle]

How many weeks are you? 9w3d

Symptoms? Constant, all day morning sickness. I don't want to eat anything. I don't want to smell anything. I look forward to going to bed every night more than I ever have in my life.

Upcoming appts? January 8th.

Rants/Raves? DH keeps cooking food like constantly which makes no sense because we're going away on Thursday and need to clean out the fridge and also I have told him multiple times the smells kill me. He decided we needed to host an 11 person brunch this weekend the night before. I've had enough!

GTKY: Do you have everything ready for the upcoming holidays (gifts bought and wrapped)? If so how long have you been ready? Everything is bought, but only a couple things have been wrapped yet. That will be Christmas Eve.

[katelou]

How many weeks are you? 8w5d

Symptoms? Daily upset stomach but it rarely escalates to nausea. Last time I was nauseated daily from 6-11 weeks so it's weird and scary that this is so different. I'm still having a hard time believing it's real.

Upcoming appts? Dec 29... I cannot wait!

Rants/Raves? I just met an NFL player and got a free sandwich at work. Winning.

GTKY: Do you have everything ready for the upcoming holidays (gifts bought and wrapped)? If so how long have you been ready? I just finished up... can't wait!

[madamewaffles]

How many weeks are you? 12w6d!


Symptoms? Big boobs, tired, moody, hungry

Upcoming appts? Just had an appointment today. Went wonderfully, save for almost passing out. Baby is on track and genetic screening came back negative.

Rants/Raves? I had a giant cinnamon roll for lunch. It was exquisite.

GTKY: Do you have everything ready for the upcoming holidays (gifts bought and wrapped)? If so how long have you been ready? Not in the least! I still have to purchase gifts for my parents. They are so hard to shop for. They are the type of people that buy something when they want it, so I'm always at a loss. If I don't figure out something soon, it'll be a gift card to a restaurant.

As of now, yes! The results were on there, and as soon as the doctor learned we were waiting, she flipped the paper over so we couldn't accidentally glance at it! MH and I are still discussing if we are going to find out ahead of time! We are pretty much at a standstill. We can both appreciate and respect each other's thoughts and wishes, but don't really want to let ours go!

I don't know what happened to the rest of my post. It got chopped in half

Update:
Baby J is measuring great 176 bpm.


(Sorry if it's huge)

[housecarder]

tootsie our daycare took a survey asking what hours we would need for this week so they could plan staff time off. We said normal hours (6-3) all week except for Christmas and I saw several others with similar schedules. So then they send an email out on Friday saying that based on the survey the majority of care needed is only from 7-1 so they will only be open for a half day Christmas Eve. Wtf? Can I pay you half tuition? Thanks for the last minute notice. Thankfully I work nights so I can just not sleep as much and get him at 1 instead of H getting him at 3, but seriously it's ridiculous.

[housecarder]

sarcaztic10 the stretching is completely normal. Just your ute growing.

Ugh, it's the worst! Yay for the parents with half days, but I guess there's no sympathy for us suckers working all day.  Commiseration, sister
