nothing much to report so far.. mainly my nipples are a little sore this week which is fun when you're still nursing a toddler

Rants/Raves/Questions?
still in that "this doesn't seem real yet" phase

GTKY: Do you have pets? Pictures encouraged!
Right now we only have two pet birds - cockatiels.  They are very personable little birds though.  One of them isn't in the best of health but so far she's hanging in there.  We may get dogs one day when the kids are older.

@cclaineDC from all the stuff I've read, they are hereditary. You'll either get them or you won't and there really isn't a whole lot that will change it  using creams will certainly help your skin stay moisturized so it can't hurt, but i haven't heard of anything that will prevent them.

I agree with @jatwal128 on the stretch mark stuff.  I didn't bother doing anything, and I guess I had good genetics because luckily I avoided them with the first one.

How big is baby? A raspberry I believe 

Upcoming appointments this week? 2 weeks from tomorrow we have another u/s

Any new symptoms or changes? Nausea seems to be better which worries me of course. And my mood swings are much better. Symptoms make me feel better though so I welcome them back

How big is baby? size of a pop rock apparently

Upcoming appointments this week? I have bloodwork on Friday and follow up on Monday. My numbers weren't as high as my doc would like so I get to keep getting poked. I'm just praying that my numbers are awesome on Friday!

Any new symptoms or changes? My boobs are getting more sore for sure. Being tired isn't new but it's my constant haha! I have a cold right now so that's taking over all of my senses.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I wish they had pregnancy tests that went up in HCG levels, like to high amounts, so women who are wanting to see if their numbers are going up could just pee on something every 2-3 days instead of getting poked and having to wait for a doc appt.

GTKY: Do you have pets? Pictures encouraged! The kittens are bigger now but this is a pic I made for a different page before. We have a chiweenie, chug, and two kittens who are a few months old

How big is baby? As big as a peanut M&M

Upcoming appointments this week? Nada, first appointment is 10/20. Plan on giving myself an ultrasound at work this weekend though

Any new symptoms or changes? still have sore boobs, occasional waves of nausea, super smeller, and congestion (which helps with the smells though!). Oh and permanent exhaustion. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? I wish that I could just have an ultrasound so I knew that everything was progressing. It's hard to feel pregnant and be excited until I see that little peanut inside 

GTKY: Do you have pets? Pictures encouraged! We have a 3 yo mini Australian Shepard.

baby is the size of a raspberry!

no appointments this week. 

No new symptoms - just the fatigue and needing to eat small meals. Starting to wonder if I skipped the morning sickness part

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope

Any new symptoms or changes?  Same as last week.  Exhaustion is going strong

Rants/Raves/Questions?I really wish I could get an U/S earlier.  I have an appointment next week with the nurse practitioner.  No U/S until 10 weeks when I meet with the OB.

GTKY: Do you have pets? Pictures encouraged!  Yes!!  I adopted a lab/boxer mix named Miley and she totally runs my life.  She is 8-1/2.
