One day closer to the end of the week! How are you and LO doing?

Same old thing here, hungry, sleepy, achey, pee(ey?)... got all the dwarves over here. I've been thinking about tattoos a lot lately, kind of sad and kind of not that I had to set all my plans aside for my leg piece because of LO, but also because my tattoo artist just got on to Ink Master. So excited to watch her in a few weeks! Keep any eye out for her, Duffy.

Well that leads nicely into a GTKY: Any tattoos and piercings? I know a lot don't approve of that kind of stuff, and it's perfectly fine! No judgment from me

I've got about 5 tattoos and a large side/rib piece; nose, belly button, ears and forward helix pierced.

I'm doing pretty well today - really exhausted but at least half of that is because I worked an overnight at work and haven't slept yet. :P also, if I let myself get even a little hungry, I feel so sick.

GTKY: none, but plan on getting a tattoo on my shoulder that says "hold your head high heavy heart" - lyrics to a beautiful song! Obviously those plans have been postponed.

Hungry and "stretchy" down in kiddo's little corner of the world. And constipated OMG ready for that to end haha.

When I was a teenager/just started college I was super into piercings. I had my tongue, bellybutton, nose, 3 on each earlobe, 2 on each upper cartilage, a rook, a daith, and a tragus. I got over it though and now I only wear one in each lobe. Never been a fan of tattoos, though!

Woke up for the first time with no sore boobs, had no weird dreams, and had a night without having to wake up and pee. Those are the only symptoms I've been having really, so it scares me when They're gone

GTKY: I have 2 tattoos! My favorite is the pink bow I have on my back. My sister and I got them matching and together. I have microdermals on my back. Single ear piercing and my belly button.

Weirdo dreams in full force, pretty sure my DH is secretly writing them down each day to retell to me later down the road... Lol. All food is still unappetizing and nighttime seems to be peak of sickie time for me. I will literally say oh this sounds good to eat, get it, or make it and then can't stomach to put it in my mouth . Saltines, oatmeal, toast and ginger ale are go to's still.... But never sound good. Everything else is forced, including water. I hate, hating food . I normally LOVE food!!
10w today though! Whoohoo!!!!
GTKY:
3 tattoos. One on inside of left ankle, one on outside of left ankle, and a big side/rib cage spread that wraps up from my lower pelvis. I did have this tat with my last pregnancy and was worried sick of what was going to happen to it.... But to my surprise, it bounced right back and doesn't look a bit different, and it didn't look bad at 9 mo prego either!

Heron422

@catnipskma I'm worried about my side one too!! I'm glad to hear yours turned out ok. There's a big water lily and frog on my pelvic bone, so that could either turn into a boat or shrink back... we'll see *fingers crossed*

So far just tired and hungry. I have a lot of anxiety lately. I think it's because I haven't seen the Dr yet. Other than that, I feel pretty good.

GTKY: When I was 21, I thought it was cool to get a tramp stamp......

Today and yesterday I've been mostly symptom free (other than some sore nips late last night), which happened suddenly out of nowhere and of course I'm nervous instead of happy about the lack of queasiness, haha. First dr appt tomorrow, I'll be exactly 8 weeks and have been promised an ultrasound, so I'm super excited/anxious/nervous! The hubs is going to come too, and I'm hoping that actually seeing the little bean in there and hearing a heartbeat will make it more real for him, because I don't think he "gets" it yet.

GTKY: Just my ears, since I was 2. My mom was mad at her mother forever because she made her wait until she was 12 to pierce her ears, so she promised that whenever her kids asked, she'd let them do it. I'm glad, since I don't remember it, and apparently the lady messed up and had to re-do one of my ears because the placement was crooked, and I cried a lot. But I don't remember it, so it's all good Nothing else, not really my thing personally, I hardly ever even remember to wear earrings in the holes I do have.

I could lay down and sleep any minute of the day, except bed time!
The nausea and vomiting comes in spurts now. I'll have a day where I feel great, then followed by 2 days of misery. 2 weeks to go and hello second tri!
I've been eating anything that sounds good, I originally wanted to really be calorie cautious, but after weeks of being sick...

GTKY: I have 6 tattoos, can't wait to get at least 2 more. Piercings are ears (3 each+cartilage), tongue, Monroe (I haven't had it in for a while though), hood, and used to have navel, but I let it close after DS2.

@Paige6410: I hear ya on the not caring about calories. I've lost 8 lbs. If I want to eat 3 Drumsticks in one day, I will. As long as it sounds good and I can keep it down, it's a win.

I managed to make it through the Barenaked Ladies concert last night! Which is good because my only option for throwing up would have been a port-a-potty. *shudder* And I was so exhausted I was able to sleep almost uninterrupted.

Does anyone else have what feels like pinched nerves on either side of their lower back? I didn't do a ton of walking yesterday but I have sharp pain on both sides of my lower back. It's almost like sciatic pain, which I know can be caused by pregnancy but I thought it was after the baby was bigger.

GTKY: I have no tattoos but don't have anything against them. I don't find huge portions of a body covered in them attractive but whatever floats your boat. My only piercings are my ears.

I have pretty bad nausea still. It is normal to have horrible tummy cramps like sever indigestion? I'm assuming it is, just wondering if anyone else has it and what you're doing about it. Nothing like period cramps thank goodness.

GTKY: just one piercing in each ear. Tattoos aren't really my thing, but some of those white or 3-D ones look really cool.

Sovvy

I want to cut my boobs off, and I'm still sooooo crampy. I know it'll be a napping day. 

I have two piercings and 3 tattoos.

What. Is. Happening. with. My. Boobs?!   (  I feel like Im walking around with Sudden Heavy Melons in my bra. Other than that, Im alright. I want to eat all the fries and pizza and burgers and pretty much all the things that are not healthy, oh and a Sonic Limeade would be fantastic. 

GTKY: I have 4 tattoos. Im looking to get 2 re-done at some later date and I want to get a line from my DD's favorite children's book along my clavicle. I used to have my nose and lip pierced, sometimes I miss the nose piercing. 

ChelseyBels

I'm afraid to say this (because I don't want it to change), but I feel okay right at this moment. BESIDES the boobs. They are out of control and are trying to murder me. "Morning sickness" has been at night for a week or something, so I gotta get all the shit done right now… but I'm hanging out here? Hmmm. 

GTKY: I have two "yeah let's go get tattoos cause were over 18" tattoos (so ugly), and a few more thought out and lovely tats. Pretty nature things on my right arm, kids name on the left arm, and shoulder nature stuff. I can't wait to get more… cause I am for sure addicted.  I have the nose/belly/ears pierced. Belly was taken out when I was pregnant with the first kid, and will stay out.

TMI update : DH and I just did the BD. It was uncomfortable and my sciatica was freaking out, but I feel better after holding off for almost 3 months haha. Let's cross fingers and hope I don't start bleeding too much again. Ugh, the things we do for love.

catnipskma

@Heron422 I will have to PM you pics if your interested. Everybody's body is different I suppose, I guess I have super elastic skin lol... 3 kids and no stretch marks either! Lucky I guess.

Heron422

Oh my gosh, so jelly. Yes, I want to see pics!! I have hypermobility so maybe that will come in hand? Lol

kellykreations13

I finally had to give in a buy a bigger bra since the girls were dying in my old one. Symptoms were calm until a couple days when they kicked in full force. I gag all day long, which leads to throwing up even when I have nothing in my stomach. Evenings are the worst and haven't been able to keep much down other than toast, plain tortilla chips and saltine crackers.

GTKY: Tattoos... I have 8. I wanted to get one covered up, but found out I was pregnant before I could save up for it.

I was excited about feeling fine today (other than some sore nips) and then just had a rush of extreme fatigue followed by a minor panic attack over my first appt tomorrow. I'm a FTM with NO reason to be nervous (no family history of issues etc) but I just got so excited to meet baby via u/s tomorrow and then realized there's a chance I could always learn bad news tomorrow, and then started hyperventilating. Sigh. I blame the hormones, haha. Maybe I'll give into fatigue and just sleep it off...

I don't know what hypermobility is, I will have to google that! I will send some pics

Heron422

I have loose joints and skin, making me pretty flexible but really prone to sprains (constant!). I was also diagnosed with arthrtis at 11. It's a weird mix haha. I'm hoping that flexible skin helps out!

claireloSC

I've gotten very little sleep the past two nights, so I'm getting kinda cranky. Feeling more morning sickness today and yesterday but I take it as a good sign so it's bearable. I have 6 tats! No piercings any more though.

My first appt is tomorrow too and I am the exact same way. Freaking out about what could happen, don't know what to expect, and I just found out it's a transvaginal so I'm really worried because I haven't heard the best things about them. I'm with ya!

11+5 today. No more morning sickness. Now I get night time sickness. Just got over the most intense wave of nausea. If I was normal I would have violently thrown up, instead i had a panic attack and started hyperventilating, but hey, I didn't vomit. Haven't eaten dinner in like 3 or 4 days because eating at night makes me super nauseous. Shouldn't this being going away now
