How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Lime

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms?

I feel like I am at such an awkward stage. Not feeling baby yet & still feeling nauseated. I just can't wait until I am showing and can actually feel baby in there. My anxiety will go down 1000%

Questions?
Does anyone else feel the same way as I posted under rants/raves/symptoms? I feel like I'm the only one who feels that way!

GTKY- What state/country do you live in? If you had to live somewhere else, where would it be and why?

I live in Southern California. I would move up to Oregon or Washington. It's beautiful there!

11 weeks!
size - funny all the different fruits that different sites will say. perhaps somewhere between a strawberry and lime
rants- waking up multiple times in the night is a drag... and it being SOOOO cold (below zero wind chill) has taken away all desire to exercise. I just want it to be warm so I can go for walks!
state- I am in IL, but at this point would love to go anywhere warmer!

How big is baby (fruit size or other)?
- The size of a lime/Brussels sprout/Poker Chip
 
Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? 
- I'd love to have my appetite back and energy.  Over the past couple of days I've coughed just a little too hard and threw up.  I'm tired, emotional, averse to most proteins, and leftovers (really??!).  This gets better right?  This experience will eventually be "magical" right?

Questions?
- What books are you all reading?

GTKY- What state/country do you live in?  If you had to live somewhere else, where would it be and why?
- I'm in North Carolina.  I'd love to move to Boston.  I hate the cold but absolutely love that city.

How big is baby (fruit size or other)?
Probably an Appleseed. Pregnant Chicken didn't give me a size for my weekly email this morning.

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms?
I had a 5 week transvaginal US last Monday Jan 11th that showed two gestational sacs. Today at my 6 week scan the tech was having a hard time confirming if only 1 but ultimately said it looks like only 1 because we could see the flicker of a heartbeat in the one sac but she was questioning if it was a placement thing or an angle thing. Sometimes as she twisted it around she could almost get a glimpse of a second sac just behind it. I'm trying to be optimistic but they prepared me at 5 weeks that it was still really early and may not be twins. They could be right but there have been a few cases of twins being missed at early ultrasounds so I'll see what next week brings.

Questions?

GTKY- What state/country do you live in? If you had to live somewhere else, where would it be and why?

I live in the state of Delaware, an hour south of Philadelphia, PA in the USA. Having travelled to Italy, Germany, Mexico, France, England, Scotland, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, and the Caribbean as well as at least half the states in the U.S., I could honestly live anywhere. A lot of people in DE complain about living in DE and that there is nothing to do and they HAVE to move to Philly or DC or NYC or Baltimore, or LA. I say you can make your community better. I'm involved with the Jaycees and we are organizing all types of community events from pub putt to the Circus, to public speaking competitions, and more. I think anywhere I moved to I would get involved in local community service. If I had to pick a place, I'd say London but it's so darn expensive and we'd be far from family which wouldnt be fair to the kids.

smilormarie - if you are 6 weeks today, aren't you due in September?  I am 11 weeks today and due on 08/08/16, so you are 5 weeks behind me?

smilormarie

Yes, due in Sep with an estimated repeat c section date of 22Aug16. I will deliver at 37 weeks again most likely. Last time around I was on the Sep'13 board due Friday Sep 13th and placenta prévia required the c section on Aug 26th so I'm going with another Aug deliver since conception was the exact same day again.... So weird.

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Lego man!

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I think my food aversions are slowly lifting. Avocados are starting to sound ok to me again, and I might try to bring my veggie frozen meals I bought 4 weeks ago in to work with me (plus bread just in case) to see if I can stomach them.

Questions? None

GTKY- What state/country do you live in? If you had to live somewhere else, where would it be and why?

I live in NYS, would love to live over in Europe.

smilormarie - Gotcha!!  I was confused and didn't see an intro post so didn't know if it was mis-type or what!!  Welcome!

smilormarie

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Nugget is the size of a polker chipp according to the Ovia app.

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms?  Currently have a pounding headache and am SO tired. Contemplating a nap.

Questions? None.

GTKY- What state/country do you live in?  If you had to live somewhere else, where would it be and why? I live in New York. I had to live somewhere else it would be on the east coast near a beach. The majority of my family is on this coast and I love the beach. I can't think of a particular place though!

Questions? Nope.

I'm in WA and can't imagine living anywhere else long-term. If you can get past the rain it's really beautiful. Mountains and water are close by and summers here are gorgeous. I could see myself in Portland OR, the Bay Area or Vancouver BC though.

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Prune. I have to say looking at the picture of it grosses me out though.

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I complained the other day because my symptoms disappeared and I was worried. Now, however, they're back and I'm puking more than ever. Why did I complain again? I'm so happy to of reached 10 weeks though. I'm so excited to be closer to the second trimester. I'm ready to start showing and feeling the baby move. It's all just so exciting. I feel like this pregnancy is already going by fast though.

Questions? Nope.

GTKY- What state/country do you live in? If you had to live somewhere else, where would it be and why? I live in Georgia in the United States. I would LOVE to live in Colorado though. It's so beautiful out there and the weather actually changes. It seems like there would be more fun things to do out there as opposed to here where all you can do is duck and cover from the heat.

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Apricot or plum

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? The constant sleeping has got to stop! I had the day off today and planned on putting a dent in the mountain of housework that has piled up. But instead I laid down for a nap that ended up lasting from noon until 5. And this is how pretty much every day off has gone. Ugh! How am I going to get ready for this baby!? It's making me worry that I'm not motivated/responsible enough to be a good parent.

Questions? Please say the 2nd trimester energy increase is real!?

GTKY- What state/country do you live in? If you had to live somewhere else, where would it be and why? I live in Greenville, SC and honestly love it. Close to beach and mountains, not a big city but not bumpkin-ville. I've always dreamed of having a little cottage in the Cotswolds with sheep! Maybe a vacation home when we hit the lottery ;-)

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Fig

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I am happy to be feeling a lot better and even a bit more energized... now anxiously awaiting my appt the end of the month to hear the heart beat for the first time. No ultrasound for me until 20w

Questions?

GTKY- What state/country do you live in?  If you had to live somewhere else, where would it be and why? I live in Amish Country, PA... was born and raised. I went to college in Virginia and lived in Florida for a year when I first got married. I don't mind PA, but would move back to Florida in a heartbeat if given the opportunity, especially if family decided to come too! I LOVE the heat, so Florida was a dream! We lived an hour from the beach and an hour from Orlando, so close to all the tourist stuff but still far enough away!
