What symptoms are you having? Exhaustion, and nausea that comes and goes all. day. long.
Do you have any appointments this week? Nope, first appointment isn't until 4/4.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? My mom is coming from out of state this weekend to visit for nine days. She drives me absolutely fucking crazy, so I'm not sure how I'm going to survive without wine. Looking on the plus side, at least she'll be able to give me a hand with DS while she's here.
QOTW - How did you meet your DH/SO? We were in our college marching band together, and were introduced by mutual friends.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? We told our parents this weekend and I am annoyed. My family already thinks its another boy (not the annoying part). And their response was "sorry it's gonna be a boy". Am I suppose to be sad to have another boy? That got under my skin.
Wut? That is so annoying! MH's entire family and my mom are really hoping for a girl and have said as much. I'm not sure why it matters. My mom said she will spoil a girl...so you wouldn't spoil another boy? I just don't get why it matters. My son is awesome- boy or girl this kid will be, too.
I know! I can't understand why people feel the need to put their two cents in and then be like "I hate to break it to ya, but you're having a boy", especially when I've given no indication of a preference.
Rant: I loathe our next door neighbors. They are inconsiderate shits. I have loathed them since the day they moved in last July, when their dog woke us multiple times with its barking. When we kindly told them their yard is next to our baby's room, could they keep the dog from barking all night and for long periods of time? Nope, they said - we'd get used to it. It was an "outside dog." Well, we ended up having to threaten to sue them so the dog would be brought inside or have a bark collar put on from 10pm-7am (I was being woken 3-5x a night, 15+ minutes of barking). Thankfully you can barely hear the dog from DS's room, but our front guest room is a different story. They still suck though - their dog comes into our yard to pee and poop and sticks its snout through our fence to sniff my dog and my son (nearly had a heart attack first time I saw that, thankfully it's a nice dog). So now I worry about whether to move DS to the bigger room, or to put the baby in the front guest room. Either way, I risk a child being woken up 5x a night. Ughrrrr. I am going to have to send DH over there to have a frank conversation a few weeks before the baby arrives.
Nothing boils my blood like people who knowingly let their dogs bark into all hours of the night. We just moved into a new development (one of those where you are ridiculously close to your neighbors), and this was one of my fears. But our HOA actually has a dog barking policy, that basically you have 3 strikes with your dog. Third strike you are fined $100 a day until the issue resolved by submitting a resolution plan, that is periodically checked in on. Our neighbor was actually just complaining about how they got just received their first strike and how unfair it is...nobody, it is fair, your dog was just barking off and one until 1130 on Friday night. Be considerate!
And forgive if it is too early for this, since we are still getting to know each other and all...
But I've been constipated a bit the last week, and Friday after passing a difficult one, I had a bit of bleeding from the vagina (yes for sure the vagina).
Of course freaking out I called the doctor, and they asked a series of questions including "have you passed a difficult BM recently". I said yes, as a matter of fact that is when I noticed.
So apparently, it is somewhat common for you to pop a vessel in cervix while doing that. So in case you didn't know, now you know.

How many weeks are you? 5w1d
What is baby the size of? pop rocks crystal
What symptoms are you having? nothing so far that I can pinpoint as specifically pregnancy related, maybe some nausea but it's not interfering with my eating habits (yet)
Do you have any appointments this week? no, I still need to call and schedule my first appointment; I'm putting it off since it seems like every time I pick up the phone, all hell breaks loose in my house
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I'm generally not big on sharing the state of my ute with pretty much anyone, but my inlaws will be visiting in a few weeks from across the country, and my husband wants the opportunity to tell them in person, so we'll most likely do that. Plus, I'll be visiting my parents next week, and I'll probably tell them and my sister while I'm there. Everyone else will find out by word of mouth (or possibly in November when I post pictures of the new baby on Facebook).

How many weeks are you? 4w6d What is baby the size of? Poppyseed What symptoms are you having? Sore boobs, very mild occasional nausea, some fatigue starting Do you have any appointments this week? Confirmation appointment is Thursday Rants/Raves/Randoms? This is my first pregnancy after loss and seriously this anxiety doesn't quit. QOTW - How did you meet your DH/SO? We met in college at a party. Started dating right away and got engaged 6 months later. I was 19 and my parents thought I was nuts. It's been 10 years so I would say it all worked out ok
How many weeks are you? 4 weeks today!! Is it weird that I am kind of excited my weekly change will be on a Monday? So much easier to remember! Lol
What is baby the size of? Baby is the size fleur de sel... which is a grain of sea salt. It's a Parisian Bakery theme
What symptoms are you having? My teeth hurt. Think a toothache... but literally every single tooth is sore and throbbing. I googled and apparently it is a thing for some people. Increased blood flow or something equally obnoxious. Lol. I also think I am being blessed with the diarrhea. Hopefully that does not last. And a teensy bit of cramping, which I do not love.
Do you have any appointments this week? Nope. I know my first appt won't be til the 8 week mark or so so I am honestly not in a huge hurry to call in. But then I wonder if I should because I had a CP in the past?
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I am bummed but somewhat not that we are not going to get to move into our house at the end of this week like originally planned. We were just told yesterday they are pushing it back to next Friday. I am ok with this 1) because we were preparing ourselves for the date to change, and 2) I have to work this weekend and I would like to be a part of the move. If we move next weekend I am off.
QOTW - How did you meet your DH/SO. I grew up with his little sister. We were good friends since 5th grade. Played soccer together, hung out at each other's houses... but I didn't meet DH until we graduated. She lived with their mom and he lived with their dad. I knew he existed, and had even seen him once when we drove past their house on the school bus on our way to a soccer game and we all yelled out the window at him (he was mowing the yard). He was actually at my graduation and we hadn't even started dating yet. We ended up meeting at her graduation party that weekend. I was not interested in dating, he chased me down and I was too polite to turn him down. I tease him all the time that he is just so lucky I am so nice
calindi I don't have any advice, but I have a nightmare neighbor as well, so I can commiserate with you.
goldenlove3 You could say your on some antibiotics that you can't drink while on
kleigh What part of CT (generally speaking of course, I'm not trying to triangulate you)? I went to school in Fairfield and then worked in Wallingford! I miss CT.
How many weeks are you? 6 wks
What is baby the size of? Popping firecracker
What symptoms are you having? Tired..... And waves of nausea.
Do you have any appointments this week? Ultrasound on Friday!!!!!!!!!
Rants/Raves/Randoms? My coworkers are extra observant, so I'm trying to be extra cautious of things I say, how tired I look, what I'm eating, etc. I won't be able to keep it in the whole first tri, but I at least want to tell family and close friends before it's obvious.
QOTW - How did you meet your DH/SO? We met through friends of friends at a party. We were dating other people at the time. Later, when we were both single, we were at another party and instantly hit it off. We dated for 6 wks, he moved 8 hours away to canada. We dated long distance until I moved up there a year later. The rest is history.
Gross, but I have been super constipated, combined with my end of day bloat I practically look pregnant when the evening rolls around. But I have been feeling and looking good in the morning when it matters!
Have an appointment to review possible chronic blood pressure issue this Wed. Normal first appointment won't be until second week in April.
See above, my random is that a month ago during a yearly exam the doctor noticed my blood pressure was higher than normal. Had me monitor for a month and it does indeed appear to be consistently above normal. So I am a little panicked as to what this means related to pregnancy, wasn't having luck getting pregnant immediately so I didn't think to stop trying while I was monitoring the possible issue.
Met husband in high school, he couldn't get rid of me (although I don't think he tried too hard).
hangry No worries, I'll DD later. I grew up, and live, in Fairfield! I love Fairfield for the sense of community/town and all the luxuries - beaches, trains, restaurants, walkability, arts etc. Fairfield U or Scared Heart I take it ??

Sacred Heart. I loved Fairfield too. Obviously SHU area isn't great but I lived on the blackrock turnpike for a while and loved it down there.
