Re: ~Monday Ticker Change Check-In~
What's new with baby (size, development): I always liked when the baby hits apple/orange seed territory. I feel like that's something you could actually see. I'm still peeing on sticks, and my line is darker than the control, so I like seeing that.
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Ugh, my husband and I are still attempting to think of any names we could possibly agree on.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I just woke up, but I feel pretty woozy today. Otherwise apart from RLP when I sneeze/get up too fast, sore boobs (but nothing like last time!) and a couple bouts of heartburn, I really feel pretty good, THANK GOD. I'm still waiting for it to kick in. Last time ignorance was bliss, I thought I would feel fine forever.
When is your next appointment: Still holding out for 3/24, which is starting to feel like it's not SO far away.
GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together? K & I actually met online! I was halfassed online dating (I had a profile but never really went on). Then I got a message with whole sentences, from a guy with a real career and a college degree! (you wouldn't believe the stuff I got, unless you've done online dating, and then you would, haha) We technically "met" at Starbucks a little more than 5.5 years ago. We've been married 3 years
What's new with baby (size, development): Baby is the size of an apple seed!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Eating healthy, increased water intake. H bought a pack of diapers last night at the grocery store because they were on sale lol...he's pretty excited about all of this to say the least
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Still having nausea but have yet to actually get sick. My boobs get more and more sore every day. Cramping on and off a little but its most just an uncomfortable feeling in there.
When is your next appointment: 3/16 is our first u/s!!!
GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together?
We met on the first day of my second semester in college in 2007. We we were in the same Biology class. He sat by me which automatically made us lab partners for that semester. We were friends for several years before we started dating.

What's new with baby (size, development): I'll do something different than just the Bump ticker. Babies are starting to produce blood cells. It may be possible to see the heartbeat this week on transvaginal ultrasound (although it wouldn't be uncommon not to be!) External features are starting to take shape.
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: We've talked some names and have a fairly long list, but right now everything is up in the air so we're just not doing too much.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I have sore boobs and bloating but beyond that not much. Had a few days of nausea and near vomiting, but that went away. This happened with my pregnancies with my son and daughter too so I'm not worried about that specifically, but I do have some pretty consistent pain on the low right (side I know I ovulated from) which is not helping with my anxiety around this being another ectopic.
When is your next appointment: Scan on Wednesday and another beta. Hopefully we'll see an intrauterine sac with yolk sac at least just to rule out ectopic. Might be possible to see a heartbeat but it's unlikely.
GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together? W and I met while working at Best Buy, actually. He was in car audio, I was in media. We were inseparable from the start and we didn't so much move in together as I just followed him home one day and never left. We've been together ten years, married for ten this summer (we had a short courtship and a very small wedding; no point waiting when you know.
Son, K, 9 | Daughter, C, 5 | Daughter, M, expected November 7, 2016
What's new with baby (size, development): Size of a poppyseed, apparently!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Eating healthy, upping the veggies, and starting to walk in the evenings - I don't work out but I should probably get some activity going on here.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Since we found out SO early (3 weeks, 4 days), I'm nervous. I have now taken 7 tests, so I think it's pretty legit - but I have no idea what to expect as this is my first pregnancy... I'm also excited to tell people, it's hard to keep this secret!
When is your next appointment: March 24.
GTKY: We met in college and we've been together for about 9 years now... married under a year.
What's new with baby (size, development): Apple seed! I LOVE reading all the new development from week to week!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Nothing other than making sure to eat as healthy as I can. Trying to stay cautiously optimistic.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Already ranted about my appt not being scheduled early like I wanted in Monday bitchfest, and my rave would be that I got my Dr to send me for blood work so I can have some sanity and measure my levels! Thankfully and knock on wood, no nausea at all because last time I was sick nearly all day every day. Boobs hurt and Im very tired today.
When is your next appointment: Going for blood work tomorrow and just scheduled our (bull) consultation appt for March 28th and our first u/s for April 14th. I may or may not have two countdown widgets on my phone!
GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together? Funny story, we met in high school. I actually knew his two very best friends before him and had just started seeing one of them. They were all in the schools talent show together and had a party afterward at Hs house, where his friend brought me to. I actually met H in his own bedroom! (I love saying that because its always sounds bad!) We hit it off right away and started dating about a month later. We have now been together 8 years and married 4 months!
Five weeks yesterday
What's new with baby (size, development):
Baby is the size of a little black peppercorn. The heart is beating and is starting to form different chambers. The neural tube has completed or is in the process of closing so the brain and spinal cord can develop
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby:
Researching baby products like CRAZY. Currently can't decide if I want a pack and play and which one I want if we do get one.. Got my husband a dad book yesterday so he can start getting educated on what's going on since he seems so shocked that I actually have symptoms?
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
I'm so hungry all the time and I always ask my husband to make me food haha and he made a comment about how much I'm eating
When is your next appointment:
What's new with baby (size, development): size of a poppyseed
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: looking into independent midwives for our prenatal/postpartum care and birth!
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I am sleepy, easily distracted, not interested in eating but still hungry, and my boobs have gained a cup size in the last week and hurt like a mofo. I think on Saturday I may have worn an underwire bra for the last time for at least a year.
When is your next appointment: Set for April 6, ultrasound to confirm pregnancy.
GTKY: My husband and I met on OKCupid just under five years ago. We've been married for two years
What's new with baby (size, development): peppercorn
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: managing my stress levels
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: getting tired of congestion. So glad the hubby is being so supportive and helpful
When is your next appointment: tbd, they were assigning me a doctor yesterday, but didn't call. I'm calling again today.
GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together? We met on a camping trip in Maine with mutual friends. He was living in CT and I was in Boston, but we made it work and then he moved to Boston for me. We've been together for 7 yrs (married almost 5).
