How far along are you? 4 weeks today. 

How big is baby? Poppy seed. 

Appointments this week? Had a blood confirmation yesterday (since I'd been on clomid), and my next appointment won't be until 7w6d on September 6

Symptoms? Not really at all.  I had really bad morning sickness last time (I lost weight in the first tri - it was not great), but it's also SO early. I'll get random waves of sickness if I smell something off (like the garbage, my husband's lunch) and some breast tenderness, but nothing for long stretches. 

Rant/Rave/Questions? Ahh! I can't believe I get to post!! DH and I have been trying to be calm, but we are so excited for baby 2. It has been a long, long road and just AHHH! Okay.  I'll calm down

GTKY: What place/places are at the top of your travel bucket list? Hmm... good question. I really, really like food and wine, so post-baby, I'd love a trip to Napa

How far along are you? 6 weeks!!

How big is baby? Sweet pea (awwwwww) or, according to my ticker, Battleship peg. 

 

Appointments this week? Nope - 8/25

Symptoms? Nausea is waaaaaay better this morning compared to yesterday morning *knocks on wood*.  I ate a snack about 30 mins before bed yesterday, wondering if that has something to do with it.  Other than that, fatigue, sore boobs, reeeeeally aversive to meat and other random smells, not terribly hungry but get shaky if I don't eat every 2-3 hours.

Rant/Rave/Questions? RAVE - DH (who is a graduate student) and I just figured out last night that his spring break is 4/10-4/14 (my EDD is 4/5)!! This seems super late to me but I don't care cause it's great timing!!

GTKY: What place/places are at the top of your travel bucket list? Rome for sure, also Hawaii and New Zealand (and maybe some others I can't think of at the moment).  We've done a lot of domestic travel (excepting Hawaii of course) but not much foreign travel, and at *some* point I'd like to see the world a little more. 

@kcassetI also second your Napa trip!! Hopefully DH and I can make that one happen in the next few years.

How big is baby? Sweet pea. (I should find the ticker that tells the size of baby in guy-terms)

Appointments this week? None, although I'm thinking about calling the OB to see what he's prescribing for morning sickness these days.

Symptoms? Nausea. Lots of it. Food aversions, too. Nothing sounds good until dinner time. I'm already starched out, anything fruit/veggie related makes my stomach hurt, and you can forget sweets. They will send me over the edge.

Rant/Rave/Questions? Is anyone else feeling the effects of low blood pressure? I keep having these "spells" where I feel dizzy, zoned out, and get a throbbing headache, so I started taking my blood pressure when I felt them. It's been really low, like 95/58 and 88/59. Just wondering if anyone else was dealing with that and what you're doing to help it. I've been laying down and propping my feet up, but that gets tricky in the office.

GTKY: What place/places are at the top of your travel bucket list? Ireland. That's the next big place we want to travel to. Although, with munchkin #2 on the way, I don't know if that will ever happen. 

@kcasset we went to San Francisco a few years ago and took a wine tour in Napa. It was seriously one of the best times we've ever had. We want to go back really bad! 

@schef070911 I'm going to have to try eating something before bed to see if that helps me. Today was rouuuugh.

@Magheeta Try https://babysizer.com/ - I've got the "geeky" option but the other ones are kinda funny too!

Schweet. Will do.

How far along are you?  5 weeks

How big is baby? Orange Seed

Appointments this week? 2nd set of Betas drawn today

Symptoms? Bloat!!! Coffee and caffeine aversion. Tender breasts, and shaky if I wait too long to eat.

Rant/Rave/Questions? Had a scare on Monday, while walking to the doctors office to get my first beta drawn, I felt intense cramping that doubled me over for a half an hour. I went to the ER thinking it was another mc, but it was a ruptured ovarian cyst. They did an u/s and saw a tiny gestational sac, and my betas were 2946.

GTKY: What place/places are at the top of your travel bucket list? I would love love love to go to Italy and Greece! We were thinking about going next summer, but I'm not sure how well that would go over with a 2 month old!

How big is baby? Sweet pea

Appointments this week? Can't wait til I can answer yes to this one! Nope, not til 29th

Symptoms? So, so tired all day long. Feeling queasy off and on through the day but not horrible. It honestly seems to be worse in the middle of the night - i'll wake up feeling like i could puke, but don't. Think i need to start putting saltines or something by my bed for these times.

Rant/Rave/Questions? Can i just get a pass from all cooking in the first tri? It was easier being pregnant with my first and feeling this way because I could eat what I felt like whenever and my hubby could fend for himself. With this one, still need to feed my two year old at the normal times but holy moly, nothing sounds good, I'm too tired and I hate feeding him cereal or scrambled eggs too often!

GTKY: What place/places are at the top of your travel bucket list?  I really want to travel along the east coast in the fall someday. I also would love to go to Tahiti but that will probably never happen - just a dream.
