5 weeks, apple seed I think?

Feeling tired & cranky, blah

My appt is Oct 1st

Best thing that happened this week is my husband asked me out on a date for today! I'm so excited because we are really big on saving money so I can stay at home with my son, we literally never go on dates.

This wasn't advice but something my dad said to me when I was about 35 weeks along with my son. "It's not going to feel as good coming out as it did going in." Oh my gosh it was so awkward, hah!

What week/fruit are you?Week 6! 

How are you feeling? Any new or changing symptoms or cravings yet?Pretty turrible. Not throwing up, but constantly nauseous and heartburn-y 

Any other updates, upcoming appointments, etc?1st appointment isn't until the 30th  

Apples and Onions this week? (What's the best and worst thing that happened this week; doesn't have to be PG related)Best thing was my birthday celebration on Thursday, can't complain this week! 

GTKY: What is the best or worst advice you've received regarding getting pregnant, being pregnant, or bringing up baby? I'm sure there are some doosies out there!Hmmmm... got the advice to put cereal in the bottle or juice in the bottle a lot. Never did. 

elizabethb3

I'm so excited to finally get to do this!

What week/fruit are you? 5 weeks / appleseed

How are you feeling? Mostly exhausted, sore bewbies, nausea is starting creep in in waves, I go from 0 to starving instantly.

Any other updates, upcoming appointments, etc? My first appt. is Oct. 8th, at 8w 3d. I'm having a hard time being patient. I wish they could at least do blood draws earlier to catch any possible deficiencies.

Apples and Onions this week? My "apple" for the week is that my parents left. I love them and it's great when they visit b/c they help us with lots of home remodeling work, but it's also exhausting...especially when you're newly pregnant and not telling anyone.

My "onion" is that I found out the rash under my arm is shingles. Boo!

GTKY: I haven't really received any pregnancy/parenting advice b/c this is our first and we haven't told anyone that we were trying / are pregnant. However, my parents did make it very clear while they were here that they are SUPER ready to be grandparents. My mom talked about kids and babies the entire time. I know what you're doing, Mom!

What week/fruit are you? 6 weeks, sweet pea!

How are you feeling? Any new or changing symptoms or cravings yet? I feel ok for the most part. Sore BBs, have to pee ALL the time, starving non stop, face is breaking out really bad, and I am starting to have little waves of nausea here and there with some headaches.

Any other updates, upcoming appointments, etc? First appt is Oct 2 :-( seems so far!

Apples and Onions this week? Apples: I got awesome news regarding my betas! Woo hoo! Onions: it was an awful/long week at work.  

GTKY: What is the best or worst advice you've received regarding getting pregnant, being pregnant, or bringing up baby? After my MMC in May, the best advice has just to relax and try to enjoy this pregnancy. Surprisingly I haven't been over-analyzing every symptom or lack there of..I feel really calm and at peace this go around.

What week/fruit are you?
Week 6 Sweet Pea

How are you feeling? Any new or changing symptoms or cravings yet?
Feeling great! Started feeling ill if I go too long between meals/snacks.

Any other updates, upcoming appointments, etc?
Still working on getting insurance back on track... but my doc doesn't make the 1st appointment until between 8-10 weeks anyway.

Apples and Onions this week? (What's the best and worst thing that happened this week; doesn't have to be PG related)
Best would be my birthday was Wednesday (9/11).
Worst would be finding out my insurance somehow canceled me.

So far, just my dad's dry humor of "you know what causes that, right?" ... but that was when I was still 4.5 weeks, not a new thing. With DD2, I had someone ask if she was an oops... how rude, even if it were true (we don't plan pregnancies, but we don't prevent them either). People think we have a bot and a girl, that's perfect, so we can stop... then aling comes another girl... must be an oops! Hopefully #4, now, will make it plain this is a purposeful thing... only congrats so far (4 kids is still considered "small" in our church... 5 or 6 is average... a few (3) have more than 10.

What week/fruit are you? 7 weeks, a blueberry!!!

How are you feeling? Any new or changing symptoms or cravings yet? Umm, feeling like crap. Nausea 24/7 but not throwing up. I can no longer brush my tongue without gagging. I can only drink flavored water, and all I want is salty foods. 

Any other updates, upcoming appointments, etc? I have a dating/viability ultrasound on Tuesday with a f/u with my OB on Thursday. I am TERRIFIED because the first ultrasound is where it all went south with my first pregnancy. 

Apples and Onions this week? Apple was finally finding a few foods and drinks that seem to agree with my stomach! Onion was that poor DH caught some kind of stomach bug and has been feeling miserable the past few days. I told him it was too early for him to be having sympathy symptoms. 

GTKY: The worst advice I get is "don't have kids yet", but also I HATED when people told me to "just relax and let it happen" or "it'll happen when it's meant too". With my history, that was not what I wanted to hear. The best advice I've gotten so far is not to worry too much about what I'm eating, or not eating for these next few weeks. The baby is getting what it needs, I just have to make my stomach happy.

What week/fruit are you? 5 weeks and an Apple Seed, or Orange seed according to my book.

How are you feeling? Soooo tired. Mostly in the afternoon. But I am feeling so optimistic and not worried at all for the most part. I think I am simply too tired to spend energy on needless fretting. My breasts are beginning to feel sensitive and heavy (started yesterday), and today I had a spot of nausea, seeing as it was right before lunch, I must have been starving. Also, smells are starting to get to me, and I am am beyond finding the 4am potty runs funny.

Any other updates, upcoming appointments, etc? My first appointment is this Tuesday.

Apples and Onions this week? Hmm... Apples, getting enough exercise even though I am exhausted. Onions, too tired to even think.

GTKY: A funny thing is, we have been trying for the past nine months to conceive, so I bought one of those $50 ovulation kits. Apparently you need to use it right after your period so we had to wait... then it turned out we were pregnant and didn't need it after all! Doesn't that just figure! Our baby will have our sarcastic sense of humor indeed. Starting early.

mrstengallonhat1

What week/fruit are you? 6 weeks, sweet pea!

How are you feeling? Morning sickness has arrived with a vengeance. Got sick for the first time this morning and have been enjoying constant nausea for the past 3 days. While I feel like crap, I'm also a little bit happy...supposedly m/s is a good sign!

Any other updates, appointments, etc.? Next u/s is scheduled for 10/8...hoping to get in with an OB at the office location closer to my house, so it could be sooner or later.

Apples and onions this week? Apple: getting back to the gym and all spotting had completely stopped! Onion: I feel like I just look gross... Pale and sickly. Looking forward to this "glow" everyone talks about!

GTKY: Someone who knew about my previous loss told me to stop worrying this time around because it's not good for the baby and stress causes miscarriages. Uh...no it doesn't, but thanks for that!

Apples and Onions this week? (What's the best and worst thing that happened this week; doesn't have to be PG related) just an average week. Nothing overly bad or good this week.

honey740

I'm so excited to finally get to do this! What week/fruit are you? Blueberry! How are you feeling? Exhausted, so queasy all day, just a general feeling of malaise. How do people not know they are pregnant? Pretty sure I would think I was dying by now lol Any other updates, upcoming appointments, etc? My first appt. is Friday, can't wait! Apples and Onions this week? Nothing really, pretty blah week GTKY: for my first: get your sleep now, you won't when she gets here. Wrong. Pregnancy insomnia blows.

Soupy84

What week/fruit are you? 6 weeks - Sweet Pea

How are you feeling? Any new or changing symptoms or cravings yet? I am exhausted. Mentally and physically. Had my first m/s run-in at work this week.

Any other updates, upcoming appointments, etc? Looking forward to meeting up with my OBGYN this Wednesday.

Apples and Onions this week? (What's the best and worst thing that happened this week; doesn't have to be PG related)

Apple - I had an early u/s and extra beta testing and everything looks good for where I am in my pregnancy. Went for a second interview with a potential employer.

Onion - Beyond my spotting scare, I had a visit from my DSM & DSO and basically got told that they dont think myself and my management team are doing our jobs (I love always being the one being shit on when the market doesnt work in our favor).

GTKY: What is the best or worst advice you've received regarding getting pregnant, being pregnant, or bringing up baby? I actually havent been on the receiving end of any advice. Thankfully, most of my family & friends keep their opinions to themselves

kitty1215

What week/fruit are you?  7 weeks (yesterday) / Blueberry

How are you feeling? Any new or changing symptoms or cravings yet?  Feeling totally normal.  The only symptoms I was having were sore boobs and tired.  I'm still pretty tired, but boobs feel normal again.

Any other updates, upcoming appointments, etc?  I am so scared for my ultrasound tomorrow.  I went last week for 1st appt and they redid my bloodwork and scheduled first ultrasound for the following Monday.  Nurse called me Wendesday and said my labs didn't look good.  Numbers went up, but not near where they should be for 5 days later.  She said to keep my ultrasound, but it didn't look good.  I have convinced myself that it's about over just need the ultrasound to confirm.  If it is over, I just want to move on quickly and try again.  This whole not knowing what's going on is making me crazy!

Apples and Onions this week? (What's the best and worst thing that happened this week; doesn't have to be PG related)

Apple: We had some kind of water/sewer problem and I was afraid we were going to have to pay crazy money to get it fixed, but turns out it's the county's problem and they are taking care of it. 

Onion: The beta results and just having to wait for the official news....I have not had any bleeding or cramping, so I'm afraid I am going to have to have a d and c which scares me.

GTKY: What is the best or worst advice you've received regarding getting pregnant, being pregnant, or bringing up baby? I'm sure there are some doosies out there! Eat all you want while your pregnant, you can lose the weight later. 

Mossy83

What week/fruit are you? 7 weeks - Blueberry

How are you feeling? Any new or changing symptoms or cravings yet? Feeling nauseated all the time, frequent urination! I'm up at least twice overnight to pee

Any other updates, upcoming appointments, etc? Beta Hcg was confirmed to be great on Friday! Next appt Oct 10!

Apples would be that my Beta Hcg was confirmed!

Onions would be the nausea is getting worse...

GTKY
We've only told about 8 people, so I haven't gotten a lot of advice! I guess a positive tid bit of info was that my parents and mother in law can't wait to start buying things for our little wee bean

Jdn836

Sweet pea I feel terrible. Nausea all day sore bbs. The usual for this time I guess. My first appointment is Tuesday. Apples are that ms is a good sign Onion. Ms is supposed to only get worse until week 10

jpbling

What week/fruit are you? 4 Weeks! Poppyseed.

How are you feeling? Any new or changing symptoms or cravings yet? I am feeling fine, no cravings. I have had some headaches but I think it's because my body is used to an obscene amount of caffeine each day, and I have cut down to one cup of coffee a day and that's it. Ughh.

Any other updates, upcoming appointments, etc? My first appointment is October 18th, seems like forever away. I am so afraid something will happen, My 2 best friends both had miscarriages this past year and I am terrified. Trying not to worry about it but it's all I think about.

Apples and Onions this week? (What's the best and worst thing that happened this week; doesn't have to be PG related) I booked our family photo session at the apple orchard for the end of the month! We are going to do a pregnancy announcement photo, time to hit pinterest for inspiration. Worst thing that happened - I am a huge bloated blob and it's making me feel so gross.

GTKY: What is the best or worst advice you've received regarding getting pregnant, being pregnant, or bringing up baby? I'm sure there are some doosies out there! Ughhh just the regular stuff. Everyone feels the need to give advice about pregnancy/birth/babies - the worst is when they aren't even parents themselves. I always just smile and listen, What are you gonna do. 

EDIT: I know this is a day late but my ticker did change on Saturday

(((Hugs))) I'm so sorry your betas didn't come back stellar. Is your ultrasound tomorrow or next Monday? Either way, keep us updated and I'm keeping everything crossed for you!

kitty1215

Ultrasound is tomorrow. I'll keep you posted. Expecting the worst but hoping for the best.
