How far along are you? 7 weeks

How big is baby? Blueberry

Appointments this week? 8/25 (one week + one day! Coming up soon!)

Symptoms? Backache this morning (although I did a fair amount of manual labor yesterday so that could be why), headaches, nausea, shaky if I don't eat, food aversions.  I haven't had meat in over two weeks (except for some chorizo that was in queso, because, well, queso).  (Edited: I forgot acne like a teenager and also tired all the time.)

Rant/Rave/Questions? Rant and rave together: I am probably staying home from work the rest of this week due to the flooding in LA.  Campus is closed to all except essential staff.  I'm trying to enjoy the paid time off and help out wherever I can, but I also desperately want things to go back to normal.  It's been an interesting past few days.

GTKY: Can you describe your personality in three words? Optimistic, loyal, goofy.

How big is baby? 

Blueberry, or a dose of viagra.

Appointments this week? 

None, still waiting on 8/31

Symptoms?

Pretty much everything. Nausea, headaches, food aversions, angry bowels. 

Rant/Rave/Questions? 

Time seems to be passing a lot quicker this time around. I still haven't gotten up the guts to tell my coworker, and I know she's going to freak out. 
I forgot, I have a legit rant. DH is freaked out about listeria, so he made me take lunchables off my grocery list. BUT THEY SOUNDED SO GOOOOOD. 

GTKY: Can you describe your personality in three words?
Sarcastic, honest, intuitive

How far along are you? 5 weeks - due date buddies with @erinjhayes8 it looks like! 

How big is baby? Appleseed

Appointments this week? Not until September 6. 

Symptoms? This one has been so different than my last.  I feel nauseated only until I eat (where last time I lost weight because I couldn't keep anything down) and my skin is breaking out a ton. 

Rant/Rave/Questions? I just wish I was at my 8 week appointment.  I know I'll calm down a bit once we hear a heartbeat, but for now, I'm still secretly taking a test every single day (I'm using old OPKs, we had a million). Last time my RE did an u/s for me around 6 weeks which helped me settle into the routine of the first trimester a little more easily. ... And this all makes me sound like a crazy person   

GTKY: Can you describe your personality in three words? Dedicated, driven, determined (I understand how intense these words make me sound...)

I'm so sorry My mom's side of the family is all from LA so I know how bad this has been.

How far along are you?  7 weeks!

How big is baby?  Blueberry

Appointments this week?  Not quite yet, getting closer though - the 29th

Symptoms?  I was just telling my husband that this pregnancy is feeling so different from my first. I feel like I am experiencing every symptom in the book to some degree or another. Yesterday started the metallic taste in my mouth -ugh, SO gross.

Rant/Rave/Questions? Kind of goes with the above, did you experience the metallic taste? If so how long did it last for you (I know everyone is different) and what were your tricks to help? Last night I seriously felt like I could not get it to go away, I brushed my teeth and it would be back shortly after. I ate something and it would be back shortly after.

GTKY: Can you describe your personality in three words? Quiet, loyal, compassionate

@kcasset Thanks! We're really lucky that we had no flooding, but I know many people who did.  

schef070911

@mylittleirvz I've had a weird taste in my mouth too, although I wouldn't describe mine as "metallic"... more like dirt which is also lovely.  Also whenever I eat anything sweet, this cloying sweetness stays in my mouth for a really long time.  I haven't really found anything that helps other than drinking water with lemon or brushing my teeth (not both!)
