What's new with baby (how far along are you, size, development)? 10 weeks today! Kitten is the size of a strawberry.

Even though it's early, is there anything you're doing to plan/get ready for the baby's arrival? DH and I bought a swanky used stroller off of Craigslist last weekend.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Have any of you gone from super nauseous to super hungry in a one week span?

When is your next appointment? Monday! I am so nervous. FX for a great appointment and strong heartbeat from my little Kitten!

GTKY: What's your favorite guilty pleasure song? "Rollin," by Limp Bizkit. I can't help it. It's the perfect driving song.

What's new with baby (how far along are you, size, development)? 7 weeks. Baby is the size of a blueberry. Growing fast!

Even though it's early, is there anything you're doing to plan/get ready for the baby's arrival? This weekend we are getting the house organized and trying to finish up a few projects that we have started. Ever since we found out I was KU, my H has been obsessing about his list of household chores. It's not exactly for the baby, but I think it helps him feel less stressed out.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I haven't been throwing up, but I'm pretty much constantly feeling hung over. I have a little bit of a sour stomach all day. I can still eat, but it's really hard to find something that sounds appealing. I have a super human nose right now and am smelling all the things. My boobs still feel really tender and sensitive. 

When is your next appointment? June 20th. Only 10 more days! It seriously cannot come fast enough.

GTKY: What's your favorite guilty pleasure song? It's not really guilty, since I have zero embarrassment about it, but I listen to Classic Disney playlists on Spotify a lot. Songs from my favorite childhood movies are soothing to me. My favorite is Part of Your World from the Little Mermaid.

@gonetothesea FX for a great appointment on Monday! Is it your first?

Thanks, @Lecool! I actually had a bleeding scare at 6d5w, so I got to see the baby then, but I have had spotting off and on during weeks 7 and 8, so I am just a nervous wreck about it.

And "Part of Your World" is my jam! Looking for old Disney songs on Spotify RIGHT NOW.

What's new with baby (how far along are you, size, development)? 7 weeks! Baby is the size of a blueberry or the size of one face of a standard D20.

Even though it's early, is there anything you're doing to plan/get ready for the baby's arrival? Not much right now. We registered early because when I had my loss I was sad that I didn't get to do any of the normal things during pregnancy, like register for gifts. So, we did it early, just in case. It made it feel more real.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Anyone else having nausea all the time, but hardly any gagging or puking? Also I'm constantly craving things that are bad for me like fast food or tacos.

When is your next appointment? Our elective ultrasound is next Friday! One week from today at eight weeks! Woohoo!

GTKY: What's your favorite guilty pleasure song? Lana Del Rey- Off To The Races, or My Darkest Days- Pornstar Dancing. They're both deliciously dirty!

Yes, that's exactly how my nausea is. Nachos and cheese from Taco Bell are my favorite thing at the moment.

@PaukMeKiande I'm feeling the same way - nausea but no throwing up. I just feel queasy all day, and food just doesn't sound good at all. I've been eating the blandest food I can find.

Ugh, YES! Please, I'd like them right now. All other foods sound like I'd rather eat dirt.

What's new with baby (how far along are you, size, development)? Size of a strawberry! Vital organs are developed and starting to function.

Even though it's early, is there anything you're doing to plan/get ready for the baby's arrival? I didn't think we would need to do too much since we still have all of DS's stuff.  The surprise of twins this week has me looking up all things twins-related and trying to figure out what we are going to need another of (car seat, double strollers, etc.).

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I'm so over the nausea and vomiting.  I really hope MS goes away soon, I'm not sure how much more of this I can take.  Also, DS always seems to be able to elbow me right in the boobs and they're so sore!

When is your next appointment? July 7th.

GTKY: What's your favorite guilty pleasure song? Continuing the Disney theme, "Be A Man" from Mulan.

What's new with baby (how far along are you, size, development)? 10 weeks! Balthazar (a ridiculous name that my best girlfriends have decided to call the baby) is the size of a strawberry, or a kumquat, or a date, or a Cardinal tetra fish. Damn I have too many baby apps...

Even though it's early, is there anything you're doing to plan/get ready for the baby's arrival? This week, we're just relaxing and enjoying the warm weather.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I had really bad nausea for a week and now it's seeming to lift, so I'll take it. Still have a lot of aversions, but at least I can get myself to eat meals.

When is your next appointment? Second appointment is July 1st. Can't wait to hear Balthazar's HB again!

GTKY: What's your favorite guilty pleasure song? @Lecool I feel like we'd be friends IRL. Chris Hemsworth and now classic Disney music? In order to try to seem professional at the office, I listen to orchestra/piano versions of Disney songs. It was going really well for a while (sneaky me) but then a coworker walked over to my office and was like "is that Can You Feel the Love Tonight from The Lion King?". Busted.

What's new with baby (how far along are you, size, development)?

10 weeks!! The baby is moving around and it's the size of a strawberry!!

Even though it's early, is there anything you're doing to plan/get ready for the baby's arrival?

I bought a ton of clothes from aliexpress. Some where a great deal... some not so much.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: 

Last night I woke up at 4am to the worst nausea I have experienced in this pregnancy. As if I was on a boat sea sick and there was no end in sight for land.

When is your next appointment? 

In a week I have to give some blood for testing, then in another week there will be a half hr ultra sound to fully exam the baby, then the day after that some other testing that my pregnancy brain has made me forget the purpose

GTKY: What's your favorite guilty pleasure song?

Races - Lover Lover Lover.. it's our wedding video song and I play it relentlessly

What's new with baby (how far along are you, size, development)? We saw baby at 9w1d (which was five days ago) and everything looked great. Heart rate was 176, and we even saw it wiggle a little on U/S. I am EXTREMELY bloated and already look 17 months pregnant...LOL! I'm now 9w6d and awaiting January.

Even though it's early, is there anything you're doing to plan/get ready for the baby's arrival? Not yet. Due to our first two pregnancies ending in MC, Hubby and I are both apprehensive to even acknowledge that we'll actually end up with a baby. Sad, but true. We're excited but scared.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Nothing really, other than my extreme bloating...and the fact that I want to have this baby already.

When is your next appointment? July 5th. We'll have our NT scan, and it CAN NOT get here fast enough.

GTKY: What's your favorite guilty pleasure song? Hmmm...probably "Crush'd" by Say Anything. I have developed an unhealthy obsession with this band. Already loved them in my teenage years, but for some reason have rekindled that love.
