Questions? Nope
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations? We were going to go to a huge NYE celebration party with another couple but tickets are a little pricey and with just getting back from a big vacation and Christmas we decided we should probably slow our spending. So, we will most likely not do anything because we're boring lol

Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: made it through my granola and yogurt today - hopefully I can eat my lunch.

GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations?
Going to our hometown for dinner at a delicious Italian restaurant and then to a hockey game!
How are you feeling? No symptoms accept having heart palpitations more often, but from what I understand that's pretty normal and I plan to chat with the doctor about it.
Doing anything baby related today? Just bumping. Maybe Pinterest some nursery ideas just for fun.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: 90% of my Christmas shopping is done, but I feel like that last 10% is going to kill me. I hate going into stores the last week before Christmas!!
Questions? Nope

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: feeling nervous about Christmas - we are not planning on telling our family and friends at this point.
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations? Having some friends over - sparkling grape juice anyone!?
How are you feeling? All right today, I'm a little bit tired by my boobs are killing me today. I'm not ready to go to work with them feeling like this. I also woke up around midnight with some slight cramping yesterday, went away rather quickly but yet again something that is not letting me sleep
Doing anything baby related today? Not a thing
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: It's Christmas week! I have to start wrapping gifts which is a rant but seeing family this week is definitely a rave
Questions? None so far
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations? I'm still planning on going out for New Years with our friends. I won't be drinking obviously so I'm the DD but one small glass of champagne at midnight won't hurt me or babes.
How are you feeling? Depends; mostly tired, some nausea. It comes in waves
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm really excited to tell my grandparents at Christmas. My grandfather married my husband and I, so DH and I bought three picture frames, two have wedding photos in them and the last one they will open has a note that says "reserved for pictures of Baby H. Coming August 2016".
Rant: Bad grammar. I understand the occasional auto correct or missing a letter, but there is no reason to mix up things like "their and there."
Questions? I'll be talking to my Doctor, but I want to start an exercise routine again. I used to work out A LOT and was really in shape, but have been busy and fell off of it. Any suggestions in implementing this again safely?
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations?

How are you feeling? Starting to feel some symptoms! Sore boobs (never had this as a PMS symptom so its really weird), very tired during the day, a little trouble sleping at night and I can't tell if the nausea is starting as I only seem to feel it when I think about telling people or over think all of this (i tend to get nauseous when I am nervous)
Doing anything baby related today? Getting supplies and making what we need to announce the news to our families on Christmas morning!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: We had a wedding this weekend with tons of pregnant ladies and then a gender reveal party (for twins!) last night with a million kids every where... needless to say we were constantly asked when it is our turn.... "Someday..."
Questions?
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations? This is our second year doing a murder mystery with H's family. Last year went great so we are doing it again. We all dress up in our costumes and get clues so we know what to say through out the night. It's a package you can buy online that gives all the clues to each character so no one knows who the killer is. Lots of fun!

Doing anything baby related today? meeting with a potential doula tonight
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations?
Going to this event with dinner, drinks, and a band. It is a group of 8 friends and we planned it before my BFP. I will now be trying to get my moneys worth of cranberry juice and other cocktail mixers before being the DD fro the whole group. I think it should still be a fun time.

How are you feeling? pretty good; I seem to be having trouble falling asleep, but then when I do, I just want to keep sleeping! hard to get up in the morning
Doing anything baby related today? Telling DH's parents! Their flight gets in at 6:45 and then we'll go to dinner, so it won't be until later tonight, but I'm excited
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: My mom texted me today that she wants me to tell my brother after we tell the in-laws so she will have someone to talk to about it. I told her she is going to have to wait til Jan 6 when we have the first ultrasound. 1. It's not like my brother is going to be all that excited. I mean, he'll be happy for us, but he's not going to gush over baby stuff with her. 2. She can talk to my dad. 3. Keep a lid on it, MOM!
I also can't believe it is almost Christmas!
Questions? anyone else having temperature regulation problems? I sleep so hot these days, but then other times I'm cold.
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations? I don't drink anyway! (which makes it much easier to hide the pregnancy) Usually, DH and I go out to an early dinner and then watch neighborhood fireworks at home, but I haven't made a reservation yet!

How are you feeling? Pretty good so far! Still tired though.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: So thankful this weekend is over! Had to visit with DH's family and his mother had way too many negative comments about my pregnancy. We just feel blessed and excited to be pregnant, so it was a little disappointing.
Questions?
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations? Just going out to a nice dinner and attempting to stay up until midnight. I have been falling asleep pretty early, so I doubt I will be able to make it!
How are you feeling? Pretty good, which could be worrisome. I'd rather feel semi bad and know everything's good
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I've been at work since 5 and up since 3:45, I can't deal yet.
Questions?
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations? Probably nothing, but may go to PA for the weekend with my family
There's a ton of themes to choose from. Last year we did a golf themed one, this year we are doing "Deadly Ever After" and I am Snow White and H is John Silver the Pirate... it's going to be great!

How are you feeling? I was crampy and bloated over the weekend so I'm glad that has gone away. Feeling fatigue but it could also be jet lag.
Doing anything baby related today? Just bumping
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: DH and I live overseas and we arrived at my parents house a few days ago. We are waiting to tell our family the news Christmas Eve and its been so hard not to say anything to my mom or sister! I feel like my sister mentioned pregnancy and babies 10 times yesterday. It's like she's trying to get me to confess! Ha.
Questions?

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I can't find anything I would like to eat for the life of me! Ughh!

How are you feeling? Have major nasal congestion resulting in a cough. Not fun.
Doing anything baby related today? Just bumping, ultrasound on Wednesday.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Nothing sounds remotely good to eat, but I am happy about all the crappy symptoms because they give me hope that everything is okay. My husband keeps reminding me of that
Questions? Any suggestions for ear popping issues when flying? I used to take sudafed and it worked wonders. I'm assuming sudafed is a no-no, so need another option. Chewing gum doesn't work for me
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations? I'm boring, staying home and have no set plans of what we'll do at home.
How are you feeling? Like crud. STILL fighting off this stupid cold, and I'm exhausted.

Questions?
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations?
We have a NYE tradition of eating snack foods for dinner at my mom's, so we'll be going there for snacky foods around 5. Then we'll probably head home, put the kids to bed, and pass out on the couch by 10:00.
How are you feeling? Sick of the cold I have! But otherwise fine, just a little nervous.
Doing anything baby related today? Called for my first doctor's appointment
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Thankful to be pregnant today.
Questions?
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations? Not much - I usually work on Jan 1, and I have a toddler who is not a good sleeper, so it will probably be a regular night for us.

How are you feeling? Nauseous, exhausted and extremely emotional
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: My rant is against my H. He's being SO unhelpful with DD lately that I seriously don't want to be married anymore. I can just see now me taking care of both of our LOs with him doing absolutely nothing. I'm sick of it. I don't want to be married anymore. I'd rather be a single mom. I'm doing all the work anyway. He's such a selfish jerk lately.
Questions? No

How are you feeling? Bloated and dealing with insomnia.

Questions?
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations?
Going to a friend's house and then DDing DH home later. We will have to spill to our friends since I won't be drinking and I'm normally a lush.

Doing anything baby related today? Yes!!! I have my first ultrasound today and I am so excited. We plan on telling our parents on Christmas day and it would be nice to have had the ultrasound first and maybe a picture.

Questions? None that I can think of at the mo.
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations? A relaxing night. I never go all out for NYE so just a cuddles and some family time.
If anyone has any good GTKY please post them. I've been hit with insomnia this weeks so I'm up way earlier than I should be.
Feeling: Crampy this morning. Boobs on fire! Slightly nauseous. Very very slight pink spotting after sex two nights ago which made me nervous but nothing since.
Today: Nothing baby related but today is my birthday! We are at DH's parents in Seattle where we are both from (live in CA now) so we are going to walk the city all day.
Positive vibes: Just happy to be another day pregnant. Two weeks until the first US.
GTKY: For New Years we are going to watch a Star Wars marathon with the kiddos.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm so relieved that my appointment and U/S went well this morning. We experienced a loss this fall, so I've been really guarded so far. Feel like I can really start to get excited now.
Questions? Has anyone with soreness boobs noticed a difference between bras? If so, I could use suggestions!
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations?

I will be asleep. DS2 still doesn't hardly sleep, and staying up till midnight doesn't seem worth it
How are you feeling? Tired and my boobs are huge. Other than that, I'm good.
Doing anything baby related today? Researching double strollers. I run so am thinking I just need to go with the BOB.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Just found out a good friend is 8 weeks pregnant and the due date is also August. I'm really excited to have someone to talk to in real life

How are you feeling? Extremely bloated and worried
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: A How far along are you? A little upset since my doctor hasn't called to confirm bloodwork or refer me to an obgyn. I'm anxious and hoping all goes well..every cramp or change and I find myself freaking out </</b>b>
Questions? Nope
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations? We will be flying home early that day and just relaxing that night.

How are you feeling? Sore boobs, and as of yesterday, I feel horrible. I feel like I got the flu or have been hit by a dump truck. Headaches, nausea, dizziness and a general feeling of feeling unwell. Hope this stage goes away soon...
Doing anything baby related today? Just The Bump
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I went to the chiropractor today (I always go to help with my neck tension and migraines). He popped my lower back today too and now I'm worried that could have done something to the baby. I haven't told him I'm pregnant yet because I told him and his staff I was pregnant last time then had to go back and tell them all I miscarried. So I was just holding off awhile this time. But of course now I'm worried after getting an adjustment. I think I worry too much about everything.
Questions? Nope
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations? I'll be working. I thought I'd volunteer to work so my coworkers who can drink can go and enjoy the holiday. I have Christmas off, which is the holiday I really wanted off this year.
How are you feeling?
So nauseous. Was feeling pretty ok until the 6 week mark and then BAM! This pregnancy thing is no joke anymore!
Doing anything baby related today?
If I can make it out of bed, hopefully go to the store to get all the anti-nausea essentials, especially since I'll be getting on a plane in a couple days! Oh and finishing up our announcement to tell my husband's family Christmas morning
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Last night was the 4th night in a row I've woken up with the worst cramps. Like, have to crawl to the bathroom in case I throw up because it's so painful (I haven't yet). They last about 15 minutes and then I'm fine and back to sleep! What the heck!
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations?
Appetizers and games with my best friends and my adorable 7 month old god daughter!
How are you feeling? Been really nervous, wondering if I'm still progressing because only had symptoms for about a week then they went away. But I puked in the monkey grass as I got in the car for work this morning
Doing anything baby related today? Calling around to see if we can afford to get an extra u/s this week before we announce on Christmas for peace of mind.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I was dieting before bfp and had lost 12 lbs but since getting pregnant all the healthy things I was eating just sound gross. Feeling kinda guilty cuz I'm not eating healthy like I should :-/ Anybody else aversed to all things nutritious?
Questions? Would it be crazy for me to pay $300 out of pocket for the extra u/s this week? Next scheduled one is 1/5/16.
GTKY- Since we can't drink this New Years what are everyone's plans for NYE celebrations?
Watching my Clemson Tigers play for the national championship and scarfing down some of my favorite appetizers!
