Got a new EDD from a dating US on Friday, so I'm moving to Wednesday! Hope you're all well on the Sunday ticker change

YAY! We have our first u/s scheduled for Thursday.

What week are you? 8 weeks!

How are you feeling? Horrendous. Dizzy, faint, headaches, nausea. I'm done with this morning sickness crap.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I seriously don't understand how people willingly do this to themselves again. As much as I wanted three kids, after these last two weeks of m/s, I think I'm leaning towards one and done.

GTKY: which holiday are you most looking forward to as baby's first? Halloween! I found an adorable pumpkin wrap with a hat. Probably just because it'll be baby's first, though. 

MRSCORKER

What week are you? 5 weeks.

How are you feeling? Physically, pretty good. My boobs are just starting to feel a little sore. So far I've just had a little bit of bloating and gas. Emotionally, I'm feeling great! I'm so happy to have reached 5 weeks. After finding out at 3 +1, and losing my last at 4 + 3, 5 weeks feels like such a milestone. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? I had a tiny bit of beige-ish colored CM on Friday once when I wiped. It wasn't quite brown spotting but I was convinced it was not a good sign. It has't happened since so in an effort to reassure myself, I woke up this morning and took my last FRER and CB Digital Advanced. The control line showed up dark immediately before the test line on the FRER and I got a beautiful "Pregnant 3+" on the digital. It was so worth breaking my "no more HPTs" rule because I feel so much better.

Oh geez, It didn't even occur to me that we'll have an infant on Halloween. That makes me really excited. I see a ridiculously adorable costume in nugget's future!

How are you feeling? Ehhh....morning/all-day sickness, sore swollen boobs, fatigue, spacey/forgetful, mood swings from rage to crying, etc

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm not sure how I haven't gained weight yet I'm running out of clothing options to disguise my stomach and boobs sticking out more than usual.

GTKY: which holiday are you most looking forward to as baby's first? Halloween! My favorite is Christmas but I'm just excited for our first holiday with a little pumpkin nugget

Piperella

What week are you? 8w

How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good.  Occasional nausea and food aversions.  Extreme exhaustion but I've had it so long it doesn't feel abnormal at this point. Get to go to an ultrasound and intake obgyn appt Monday and then another ultrasound on Friday with my RE.  I don't want to get dismissed by him in 10w.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm so excited to be 8w.  That much closer to the end of the 1st semester.

GTKY: which holiday are you most looking forward to as baby's first? I'd normally say halloween but I can't imagine staying outside on the porch with a newborn in the cold.. so our plans will be changing this year. I'd guess I'd say Thanksgiving and/or Hanukkah.

What week are you?  6 w

How are you feeling? relatively  well considering all. The nausea and heartburn is slowly wearing me down, but I'm hoping it'll end soon! 

Rants, Raves Questions? This will  be  my 3rd so I'm finding the bloat to be a bit worse! Plus I'm feeling very far now that my regular clothes don't quite fit. It's the massive panic trying to find something to wear that isn't completely unflattering.

Which holiday are you most looking forward to as baby's  first? depending  on if this one is early (for some reason both my others came 3 to 5 days before edd) it could be Canadian thanksgiving  which would be pretty fun  because that was my grandma's birthday. 
Halloween  would be pretty cool too because  we're Rural we get no  trick or treaters, so we just  hop in the car and pop over to our close friends.

At my ultrasound on Wednesday baby measured 2 days ahead. That lined me right up with my LMP, so doc changed my EDD to 10/9. Not sure if they'll change it again based on my next ultrasound, but for now I'm gunna hang with you ladies.

What week are you? 7 weeks!

How are you feeling? Tired with almost no appetite. Occasionally I'll get a bout of energy but it never lasts long. And when I do get an appetite, it's only for greasy hamburgers or something like it.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I finally got some sleep over the last few nights. I had horrible insomnia over the last two weeks, but the last few days I snored all night long.

GTKY: which holiday are you most looking forward to as baby's first? I'm not real big on Halloween, but I might be after the baby comes. Lol. I love Christmas. I'm hoping some family from California will come visit this year for Christmas and to meet the baby.

What week are you? 6 weeks 

How are you feeling? Anxious. I feel like what few symptoms I had are waning and hoping it's not a bad sign

Rants/Raves/Questions? Is it still normal not to really have symptoms at 6 weeks? 

GTKY: which holiday are you most looking forward to as baby's first? Probably thanksgiving or christmas

lilyaster

What week?  8 weeks!  due 10/2

How are you feeling?  I'm feeling pretty good.  Over the hump of my morning sickness, which for me is worst from mid-afternoon on.  I take a unisom at dinner and sleep about 10 hours a night.  Breasts are sore and I'm generally constipated and bloated.  I have to eat about every 3 hours to keep the nausea at bay, but if I eat too much it hurts!

Rants/Raves/Questions? Just thrilled to have made it this far, my spotting has stopped, and only 9 days until our u/s. 

Which holiday are you looking forward to?  Thanksgiving because SIL and I will both have newborns then

@missteacherlady16 When my mom was pregnant with my brother, she never had any symptoms other than occasional fatigue. Other than that, she felt great all 9 months. I've also heard that 6 weeks is often when the symptoms kick in full blown. So you might have some coming within the next few days.

Thanks! I'm really trying to read too much into it (and trying to be too annoying by constantly obsessing over it).

My symptoms pretty much disappeared for week 7, and I was honestly a little nervous. Kinda wish I could go back to that, because week 8, they came back with a vengeance. I guess it was the calm before the storm.

What week are you? 6 weeks

How are you feeling? Overall pretty good. Biggest one is fatigue..I'm beat by 7pm. I'm also up peeing all freakin' night. Seriously 4-5 times a night. This didn't happen until 3rd tri last time...what the hell.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing at the moment. Anxiously awaiting 8 week appt. 

GTKY: which holiday are you most looking forward to as baby's first? I love Halloween, but I'm going to say Christmas because hopefully we'll all be sleeping a bit better by then to enjoy it lol.

@mrscorker--I took my CB advanced at 4 weeks and got 2-3. I have one more left and was going to try to wait again until 6 weeks (aka this week) to hope to see it jump to 3+.

What week are you?  7 weeks

How are you feeling?  Not as well as last week. I've had nausea on and off the past couple of days and continue to be really tired. I didn't have any morning sickness with my daughter so I'm wondering how long this will last.

Rants/Raves/Questions?  I'm eager for my first appointment this coming Friday! And hoping the nausea goes away soon. And worrying what to wear to work already - I've been wearing maternity pants but my tops are getting tight. Hoping I can keep my pregnancy quiet a little longer.

GTKY: which holiday are you most looking forward to as baby's first?  Halloween will be baby's first and I'm excited about that.  I'm even more excited for all the holidays with my daughter since she will be 2 and more aware of the holidays this year.

5 weeks 
How are you feeling?
Bloated, sore boobs, moody. Other than that ok. 
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Just not looking forward to morning sickness to kick in!
GTKY: which holiday are you most looking forward to as baby's first? 
Excited to have a little one for Halloween. Probably will stay home and hand out candy with them while DH takes our boys out.

What week are you? 8 

How are you feeling? I have a killer cold. Nausea and dry heaves. Fatigue and peeing multiple times per night

Rants/Raves/Questions? Feel so relieved after seeing our bean! 

GTKY: which holiday are you most looking forward to as baby's first? Thanksgiving! I will be so thankful for our family being complete plus I love it the food and family.

What week are you? 8w

How are you feeling? Tired! On days I eat a big breakfast nausea is almost non-existent most of the day. When I don't eat enough in the morning, I pay for it the rest of the day no matter how much I eat after that.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Just so anxious for my US, two weeks from tomorrow 

GTKY: Which holiday are you most looking forward to as baby's first? Probably one when baby is a little older and able to enjoy it, Easter maybe?

What week are you? 5 weeks

How are you feeling? Sore boobs, little moody, minor fatigue, vivid dreams, sore throat, cramping occasionally- but I think I'm in denial about my symptoms! Today is thought, I am not getting fatigue at all! That of course was after my nap at 11am...

Rants/Raves/Questions? Just trying to stay positive. Cautiously optimistic that this one will stick but I hate that I don't have clear signs that my little buddy is holding on tight. Time feels like it has slowed WAY down waiting for our first ultrasound.

GTKY: which holiday are you most looking forward to as baby's first? Christmas! I think baby and I will be up for seeing family by then.

Sorry, I'm late in the game. We were out all day yesterday and I couldn't get on the computer/phone.

What week are you? 8 weeks

How are you feeling? Exhausted, nauseous, bloated, gassy... but i feel good about this one is sticking so far, so i'll take it!

Rants/Raves/Questions? I've had some brown CM/spotting off and on that my doctor has assured me is normal, but I just wish is would stop. Ive been getting waves lightheadedness and short of breath, but my sister (she's a nurse) told me to eat and drink more and it should stop. (If not, then go to the doctor. I have an appointment on Wed.)

GTKY: which holiday are you most looking forward to as baby's first? If I can find a costume for me and baby or a family thing, i'll be excited for halloween. If not, then definitely Christmas day! (Christmas Eve is a headache/problem for hubby and I).

A day late but I was 8 weeks yesterday. 

The bloat by the end of the day is pretty bad, I feel like I look so much more pregnant at this stage than I did last time and I just want to keep it a secret a little longer.  Still some indigestion and nausea but I've been using an essential oil blend that's really helping. 

Rant is that I still have two more weeks til I see the midwife and I just want to go and make sure everything is ok before people find out.  

I would love to find a cute duo costume for this babe and my son who will be 27 months at Halloween.  We didn't take him out last year so it would be fun to go this year.  Otherwise the holidays with a wee one stress me out!
