This format was used when I was briefly in the March 2017 group. I just stole it from them. I hope it's ok that I'm starting this.

How far along are you?

How big is baby?

Upcoming appointments this week?

Any new symptoms or changes?

Rants/Raves/Questions?

GTKY- If you could go back in time and tell your younger self something, what would it be? (It could affect your current life, or you could say it wouldn't affect you at this moment.)

How far along are you? 4 weeks today

How big is baby? The size of a poppy seed

Upcoming appointments this week? I won't for another month. 

Any new symptoms or changes? I'm just more tired than normal. Otherwise, I'm about the same as always. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm glad it's Friday! My husband and I are thinking of taking a day trip to a nature reserve tomorrow, weather permitting. 

GTKY- If you could go back in time and tell your younger self something, what would it be? I would tell my 19 year old self that the guy I was dating wasn't going to change and be a good guy just for me. I'd also tell my early college self to take as many classes as possible in those first two years. My mom lost her high paying job after that, and I had to start getting student loans after that point. I wish I could have known how lucky I had it when she was able to just write a check and that was it. I now have debt that'll take years to pay off.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Feeling ok, but definitely feel a bit bloated!

GTKY- If you could go back in time and tell your younger self something, what would it be? (It could affect your current life, or you could say it wouldn't affect you at this moment.) I would tell my younger self to be happy more because everything that I was stressed about would work out.  I try to tell myself that now when I am really stressed about something.

Upcoming appointments this week? Not yet but I had to find a new OB since we relocated a couple months ago. They won't do lab work before they meet me and do an exam first so we're going to try and schedule something for next week to make sure my numbers look good since I had an early loss back in May.

Any new symptoms or changes? The cramping seemed to have stopped for the most part which actually got me checking way too often to see if my boobs still feel sore.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Just anxious for this one to stick Oh and my mom is coming to visit tomorrow for a week so I'm excited to be able to tell her in person. She has always known early on and having her support has been really helpful.

GTKY- If you could go back in time and tell your younger self something, what would it be? (It could affect your current life, or you could say it wouldn't affect you at this moment.) I would tell myself before starting college to be more proactive about my future instead of letting my degree go to waste. Sometimes I wonder if I had changed major, it would have been for the better.

6 weeks and The size of a sweet pea. My first US is next Friday (this is going to be the longest week ever!!). Symptoms: still waves of nausea, really tired in the afternoon, gag reflex, so much bloating, and slightly sore boobs. Only rant is that I want it to be next Friday. Now. I'd tell myself to go to college right after HS. And that while IF sucks really bad, you'll get through it.
