Hey ladies!  I'll jump start this today.

Week:  5!

What's new with baby (size, development):  Baby is the size of an appleseed/black peppercorn and starting to develop major organs and organ systems.

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby:  Just getting ready to tell our families next week.  And also trying to convince my H that going to bed early doesn't suck.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:  My boobs are sore/huge.  I feel energetic and motivated to do stuff but at the same time I'm starting to hit a wall in the afternoon when I get less sleep at night whereas usually I can rally all day.  I've been spared any sort of MS yet but the food aversions and cravings are happening.  My ***question*** is, if you are a S/T/FTM when did you buy a new bra??  If you are a FTM, what's your plan or what have you already done?

When is your next appointment:  We have our purely meet-and-greet with a midwife tomorrow.

GTKY: (stolen from Monday) Tell me about your first boyfriend!  We were in kindergarten.  He was loud and funny and he kissed me under the blanket during nap time.  And then we got caught and a stern look was all it took for me to reel in shame.

Week: 5

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

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: not a whole lot. This is #2, DS is 2, so we have most of what we need until we find out gender. 

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
I have had a hard time sleeping well at night, lots of hip and back pain and insomnia. Boo!
When is your next appointment:
April 14 at 8+2
GTKY: (stolen from Monday) Tell me about your first boyfriend! I was 15 and in high school. He was 2 years older and I'm surprised my parents didn't kill me 

To answer your question above I didn't buy new bras until about 20 weeks. But I bought bras without underwires and that helped immensely.

Week: 8

What's new with baby (size, development):
Pygmy sea horse.  Tail is almost gone and facial features are developing.
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby:  nothing this week.  

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Can't believe I'm already at 8 weeks.  It felt like it took forever to get to this point with my son.

When is your next appointment: Blood work and first ultrasound tomorrow.  Two more weeks till first appointment with my OB.

GTKY: (stolen from Monday) Tell me about your first boyfriend! He was tall and lanky and a total nerd.  I was too though we were both band geeks.  He played piano for a small church and was very conservative.  He's someone I would never in a million years go for now.

Week: 8!!!

What's new with baby (size, development): 
The size of a small Lego block!! 

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: 
We bought baby H his/her first penguins jersey!! We're going to use it for our announcement. So excited! 

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
Feeling pretty good today. Was battling the queezy the last couple weeks but today is a good day! Maybe it'll be done now. 

When is your next appointment:
April 21 for next prenatal with my PCP and will get to hear the heart beat for the first time! 

GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend!
He was a real treat. Enough about that.. 

virginiaham

Is it really just four of us today??

@kristah2 I'm glad you're feeling better today!

@amyboxer ahh thanks for that gem, I'll keep that in mind when I get to the point of needing to go shopping!

Week: 5

What's new with baby (size, development): 
The size of an appleseed, growing it's heart and other major organs.

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: 
Today I picked up some fleece pajamas. We already have almost everything we need until we find out the gender since DD is 9mos old, except tiny winter clothes.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
No symptoms yet which is a surprise. Last pregnancy I had severe MS and exhaustion the entire 1st tri, for now I'm trying to enjoy my lack of symptoms as long as it lasts.

When is your next appointment:
I have a tour at the birthing center I'm using on the 30th. They won't schedule my first appointment until after the tour to make sure that I'm comfortable with their set-up and understand what makes it different from a hospital. 

GTKY: (stolen from Monday) Tell me about your first boyfriend! 
My first boyfriend actually is my DH. We started dating in college. I was painfully shy all through middle school and high school so boys didn't really notice me.

Week: 5 weeks

What's new with baby (size, development): I, too, have a little appleseed/tadpole!

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: It's embarrassingly early, but I totally created a registry (don't worry, it's hidden) on Amazon. I've also bought Ina May Gaskin's Childbirth book and the Baby Name Wizard book!

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I'm travelling for work this week. It's not even 6pm and I'm already in my pjs. I'm so tired, but I also wake up every night at 3am and can't get back to sleep.

When is your next appointment: We have a group appointment at our midwifery on the 30th.

GTKY: (stolen from Monday) Tell me about your first boyfriend! It was 1st grade and he kissed me on the swings during recess. Then i blabbed about it and he got a detention. We we bf/gf through 2nd grade when I became excruciatingly awkward.

Week: 7

What's new with baby (size, development): blueberry, developing little paddle hands and feet!

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: attempting to get extra rest

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: fatigue and waves of nausea, manageable 

When is your next appointment: first appt next Wednesday! Can't wait to see that ultrasound!

GTKY: (stolen from Monday) Tell me about your first boyfriend! He was tall, blonde, and lanky. Made me laugh it was a bad influence. Typical?

Week: 6

What's new with baby (size, development): baby is a sweet pea and apparently an alien life form judging by the photos I saw today. It made me think about how butterflies start as caterpillars. Humans start as alien larvae.

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: nagging husband a lot.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: the fatigue is intense. Nausea is manageable. It's been a bitch hiding this pregnancy from my alcoholic friends. My new trick is chugging water and ordering champagne, then spitting the booze back into my water glass.

When is your next appointment: April 6 is my 1st apt... Nine weeks. 

GTKY: (stolen from Monday) Tell me about your first boyfriend! 
Oh man! Kinda embarrassing. I was 15. He was 15. He was kinda nerdy and home-schooled, I went to Catholic school. We met online... (This is back in 1995 folks)  on a local BBS. Once His mom caught us making out in his room and chased me out of the house. When I broke up with him, his sister came to my parents house to threaten me. In hindsight, he was an extremely poor choice.

I've been busy this week and didn't get a chance to post on Tuesday!

Week: 6!

What's new with baby (size, development): sweet pea

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: nothing yet, except eating a lot.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: so far so good. Aside from being really tired and occasionally very hungry, I don't really have any strong symptoms.

When is your next appointment: tomorrow! Friday 3/25

GTKY: (stolen from Monday) Tell me about your first boyfriend! There's not too much to tell. He was nice and fun. He graduated high school two years before me and moved away to do something fun, so we naturally broke up. I saw him a few years later when I was a senior in college. He had moved to China and it was great to catch up and see all his pictures. That's the last I heard of him.

Oh man- that's a new one I've never heard before! They don't notice?? Is it bad that I'm laughing a little imagining it? Not to be unsympathetic...
