Week: 7

What's new with baby (size, development): Baby is the size of a blueberry and is developing hundreds of brain cells each minute, kidneys, and arm and leg joints. 

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby:  Nothing really. I started a pregnancy journal this weekend that I bought at Books-a-Million.  It has nothing to do with 'getting ready' for baby but its pregnancy-related and fun. I think we'll start cleaning out the nursery this week; its been a catch-all room since we bought our house last May.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Nausea is getting worse, boobs are still so sore, cravings come and go, still peeing a lot, not sleeping well.

When is your next appointment: 4/6/2016 for our 9 week ultrasound!

GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend! I was in 5th grade, he was in 6th grade.  I had my friend ask him out for me during our Washington D.C. field trip.  We pretty much only talked on the phone when we were 'dating', if you can even call it that.  We had the same birthday which was cool.

Week: Seven!

What's new with baby (size, development):  Apparently this nugget of a child is the size of a blueberry, which is a little gross because my DD eats them all the time.

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: We're telling our family this week! EEK! I'm so excited - I told my mom when the pee hadn't even dried on the stick, I feel like a dirty liar, haha.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I feel really pretty good, which caused me to wig out a little yesterday. I had a weird heavy uterus feeling - hard to describe! Not painful, just heavy/full and weird.

When is your next appointment: THURSDAY!! FINALLY! I made the appointment almost 4 weeks ago, so it's been a long time coming. I briefly contemplated calling to see if i could come earlier, but I'm going to stick it out haha.

GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend! He was kinda a dream boat, lax and football team captains, 1590 on the SATs kinda guy. But now he looks like a hipster/pirate, I don't know what happened.

Week: 6

What's new with baby (size, development): Baby is size of a sweet pea, lungs are forming and heart is beating about 100 times a minute. 

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Telling our families on Sunday - I can't wait! Also slowly reaching out to area daycares to see their rates.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Queasy all day yesterday, boobs are super sore and I'm exhausted. Also, has anyone's hair changed? It seems like the thickness of my hair has doubled overnight, and my normally slightly wavy hair is incredibly wavy - as in, using straightening products and the straightener do nothing to it. It's driving me insane.

When is your next appointment: Thursday! They added an ultrasound too, so I am very excited (and nervous). 

GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend! Oh gosh, so many "boyfriends" in elementary school. I was a bit of a player

What's new with baby (size, development): grain of salt

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby:  trying to eat healthier and go for walks

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: some mild nausea and some nipple soreness. And some ridiculous bloating. Never been so bloated in my life. 

When is your next appointment: Not until April 11th  

GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend! Freshman year of HS. My mom didn't want me dating so it was a secret for about a year. I was super quiet in HS and he would always get me to talk to his friends. We had an on again off again relationship for 2 years.

edit for spelling.

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Sleeping. A lot.

When is your next appointment: April 6 for an ultrasound and I'll 'graduate' to OB care. 

GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend! My first dating partner was actually another girl and we were both huge nerds. I still am, actually. She was very sweet.

Week: 7

What's new with baby (size, development): 
Hmmm... Blueberry. I made fresh blue berry pancakes this am. 

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Nothing yet. Every week. Nothing. 

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: well, I just don't feel pregnant anymore. Almost like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop. I haven't had any bleeding or cramping however I went from feeling tired and feeling pregnant to nothing. I really hope this is just the ebb and flow of pregnancy. 

When is your next appointment: April 11th. When I get back from vacation if I still feel this daunting feeling like something bad happened I will call for an earlier scan. 

GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend! We were 17 and he was such a sweetheart. Just wasn't very smart and we weren't headed in the same direction in life. After running into some mutual friends from high school I see I made a good choice.

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: We are telling our immediate family on Easter.

GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend! I was in 4th grade. His name is Joe. He asked me out while at the pool on my birthday. Basically we just always played together at recess.

Week: 7

What's new with baby (size, development): Baby is the size of a blueberry/raspberry (1/2 inch) and is developing ~ 100 brain cell per minute, developing heart & kidneys, cartilage that will harden to bones & arm and leg joints. 

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby:  Nothing really. I don't feel like I can do much until I at least know the gender and whether we can re-use my son's clothes or I get to shop for girl clothes.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Not too many symptoms, which I'm trying not to worry about. Boobs are slightly tender, peeing a lot (which is not unusual), not sleeping well, stiff back. Tired.

When is your next appointment: Friday- 3/25 for our first ultrasound- I am anxious!

GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend! I was in 13, in 9th grade, he was 17 in 12th grade & called me jail bait. We never even kissed because he wanted me to initiate it & I didn't feel like I should have to- I thought it was the boy's job.

Week: 7 

What's new with baby (size, development): Blueberry! Generating tons of new brain cells every minute and developing arm and leg joints! 

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Telling more family this week! We told my family who lives near us but telling my husband's family over Facetime. We just moved from CO to WI about a year ago and that has been hard for my husband I think, not actually being able to be there to tell them. 

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Nausea is either just ok or realllly bad. Yesterday I took two naps because I am just exhausted all of the time! I honestly can't imagine having a young child running around right now with how I am feeling. Props to you mommas out there! 

When is your next appointment: Ultrasound on 3/31 at 8 weeks+4 days 

GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend! I was in 3rd grade, he was adorable and when I moved he drew a map to get to my house haha

Week: 5

What's new with baby (size, development):  Appleseed!

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Our kids had a sleepover at their cousin's house this weekend.   We got a ton done around here, including rearranging our bedroom which will be better for the Cosleeper next to the bed.  I also pulled out some maternity clothes.  I definitely feel like I'm jinxing things, but it's rare that we can get so much done because of the kids.  

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: my symptoms have gone way down, which is freaking me out.  I know it's silly (my symptoms were much worse with my miscarriage pregnancy, and were pretty mild with my two girls), and that it means nothing, but I am still nervous. 

When is your next appointment: My first appt is this Wednesday, but it's just a group appt with the nurse practitioner.  I can't wait to schedule an ultrasound to see if anything is growing in there!

GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend!  My first bf was in 5th grade.  I was incredibly shy, but my best friend wasn't so she pretty much decided I was dating him and told(asked?) him.  I sat next to him at lunch, but never spoke to him I don't think.  Then one day my best friend told me we broke up.

Week:  5

What's new with baby (size, development): It's the size of an apple seed, and apparently has a tail?  That goes away usually, right?

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: We're shopping for a house.  DH thinks I'm nuts moving at 7ish months pregnant but our place right now isn't big enough for a third human.  Not going to buy anything for baby until we hit the third trimester.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Will this cramping ever go away?  Also I am ravenous all the time. Even after I finish eating I'm still hungry.  Someone tell me how to stop the hunger?

When is your next appointment: My first appointment is Friday April 1st when I'll be 6w4d, hoping the doctor does an u/s at that point due to my history of endo and abdominal surgery

GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend! So I guess I am going to go with my middle school boyfriend Josh (I had "boyfriends" before him technically, but this felt the most official), we kissed a few times and then he wanted me to give him a BJ, I was 13 so I said no and promptly broke up with him, the kissing was nice though, however he went bald way early in life so I am glad I got out of that one when I did.

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Nothing new, just waiting for my next ultrasound on Friday. 

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I should definitely be sleeping right now. My day starts at 5am tomorrow and I'll be lucky if I'm out of work by 5pm. Project launch day in the middle of early pregnancy! Life doesn't stop.
