I'm not sure if someone has been designated to start this or not as I'm pretty new to the board. I didn't see it posted today yet, so I thought I'd get it going.


For those with an EDD of 5/3, 5/10, 5/17, 5/24, & 5/31

Thanks for starting this

• How far along are you? 7 weeks
• How big is baby? A playing die
• Upcoming appointments this week? Nope. Still haven't gotten my first appointment scheduled yet. There was some administrative drama and the office is supposed to call me this week to schedule a time since I can't call them directly. 
• Any new symptoms or changes? Nausea is ramping up which is super fun. Not sure if fatigue is mildly better or I'm just kind of used to it. 
• Rants/Raves/Questions? A little frustrated trying to pick out clothes for a trip into the office next week. The bloat is still insane after meals so all my pants are no good. Time to dig out my first tri "hide the baby" dresses from last time. And god bless control top pantyhose. 
• GTKY: What is your job? I'm an economist.

10 weeks!

Baby is the size of a strawberry

Need to get blood testing scheduled for chromosome abnormalities 

My symptoms are starting to subside. Woot woot!

No real questions - just starting to get ex it's about maternity clothes! I'm not showing yet, but my stomach is starting to get firmer. 

I work in marketing.

• How far along are you? 10 weeks
• How big is baby? A strawberry 
• Upcoming appointments this week? Tomorrow. A viability scan and seeing doc as well. 
• Any new symptoms or changes? Today has been the best day in a long time so I'm hoping that's just the winds of change from upcoming second tri coming. Way less nausea and way less moody. 
• Rants/Raves/Questions? Not really. Looking forward to tomorrow and maybe spreading the news because this belly is doing the talking for me. 
• GTKY: What is your job? I stay home with my boys. It is a huge blessing and at times a huge struggle but totally worth every sacrifice.

• How far along are you? 9 weeks
• How big is baby? A cherry
• Upcoming appointments this week? Nope, I have one next week though. Just a 10 week check-in with a NP.
• Any new symptoms or changes? Nausea was raging earlier this week, but I'm feeling a bit better today. My sister recommended eating high-protein breakfasts to keep away the voms. Perhaps those gigantic breakfast sandwiches are helping after all?
• Rants/Raves/Questions? We've decided to go for team green, but I'm afraid it's going to take all the fun out of planning. 
• GTKY: What is your job? I'm a policy/data analyst at an environmental nonprofit.

How far along are you? 7 weeksHow big is baby? blueberryUpcoming appointments this week? no appointment until the 17thAny new symptoms or changes? Nausea really kicked in over the past week - I think it's worse than with kid #1.  But thankfully no throwing up.  Food aversions - particularly protein.  I could not eat much salmon for dinner earlier this week. Rants/Raves/Questions? Just that I feel like I'm already starting this pregnancy several pounds heavier than before my first one.  I guess that's what happens when you aren't really exercising much. I need to try to gradually increase my fitness.GTKY: What is your job? stay at home mom to a 2 yr old boy, even though I have multiple advanced degrees I'm not using.. maybe one day! But it's nice to have this time with my child.
