I was on the Monday one but after my ultrasound a week ago, we pushed up my due date back to what my LMP shows I should be.

How far along are you? 9w

How big is baby? cherry

Upcoming appointments this week? I had my 8 week appointment yesterday. My next one will be the 12 week so I've got some time to go.

Any new symptoms or changes? Same ol' same. Exhaustion is kicking my rear this time. I took a 20 minute power nap (thank you Jesus for offices with doors).

Rants/Raves/Questions? nope

GTKY: are you doing anything for Halloween this year? Do you like to dress up in costume or not so much?
I like dressing up the kiddos, but I'm usually not a participant. I got roped into it somehow this year...

How big is baby? cherry- almost an inch!

Upcoming appointments this week? Next one is Nov 14 for my Maternit21 and NT scan. 

Any new symptoms or changes? Just the same exhaustion and nausea. My aversions have gone away and my appetite is back, which is good since I had already lost 3 lbs. But still experience waves of nausea

Rants/Raves/Questions? nope

GTKY: are you doing anything for Halloween this year? No plans. It's our second Halloween in our home and we missed the trick or treaters last year. So I'm looking forward to spending it at home and getting some trick or treaters

How big is baby?
A 2x2 Lego

Upcoming appointments this week?
I had my first appointment on Tuesday. Got to see the heartbeat and get some much needed reassurance. 

Any new symptoms or changes?
Significantly more tired and nauseous, which I didn't think was possible.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
My rave is I'm really proud of how great my H has been about picking up extra around the house while I'm not feeling great. I never have to wash a dish or do laundry even though these  are my normal chores. 

GTKY: are you doing anything for Halloween this year? Do you like to dress up in costume or not so much?
We usually like to dress up in couple costumes and go to a bar with friends. Not so much of that happening this year. I think I'll be in the house in my panda onesie, passing out candy and then passing out after the last trick or treater.

Nothing until 11/15!

Any new symptoms or changes?
I just have my ongoing nausea and exhaustion. It lasts alllll day. 

Rants/Raves/Questions?
My app today said I should really have to pee all the time now, but I really don't have to? Anyone else?

Rant: I feel so lazy. I literally have to psyche myself up for every activity I have to do during the day. I just don't want to
do anything.

We are going to take my DD trick or treating. She's not super crazy about it yet so it will only take like an hour. We usually have some Halloween parties to go to and dress up but I've been lame this year and am not into it.

@LMMama I would take any symptom you're "supposed" to have with a grain of salt. I've been hearing so much about boobs that are supposed to be sore and bursting out of my bras and I haven't had that at all.

I am 5 weeks today 

baby is as big as a bb pellet or peppercorn 

no appointments this week. My first appointment is in two weeks. 

Today I felt my first few waves of nausea right when I was teaching a whole group lesson in front of 22 5th graders haha they were so concerned but I made it through without actually upchucking

Rave: *maybe TW* I have just been in such a great mood lately. I'm so happy to be pregnant. I've had a loss before my DS so I really struggled letting myself be happy about this. But I'm finally letting it all set in. 

Halloween:  just plan on taking my DS trick or treating. He is going to be Woody since he has been obsessed with Toy Story 3 lately. I'm also planning on telling my family that I'm pregnant on Halloween by dressing up as a peanut M&M (I'm sure you've seen the idea on FB or Pinterest). I'd really like my immediate family to know early with me because they were such an amazing support system the first time around. 

EDIT: bump ate my post

7 weeks. 

Still nauseous AF. 

I make the kids costumes, so I haven't had time to make myself one in a few years. The girls are both birds this year, so I might snag a pair of binoculars and call myself a bird watcher.

How big is baby? They are the size of cherries! 

Upcoming appointments this week? I had one on Monday. Babies appear right on track. 

Any new symptoms or changes? The fatigue is out of this world! I could sleep all day. And food is just gross to me! 

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm just excited for the weekend! I get to sleeeeeeeep! 

GTKY: are you doing anything for Halloween this year? Do you like to dress up in costume or not so much? I never do anything for Halloween. It's just not for me!

@QueenNub I have multiple fibroids, a couple of which are fairly large, and I've also been told not to worry. It seems to depend heavily on whether or not they're actually in the uterine cavity, which is a more rare type. Most are in the muscle layers of the uterus and don't really cause issues. I've been told they either stop growing or even shrink during pregnancy as your body diverts all resources to baby. My last OB that checked them before I switched reminded me that women carry multiples all the time and the uterus is capable of stretching to accommodate them, so it can definitely accommodate the fibroid and the baby.

Yay!  A new week!

How far along are you? 9 weeks

How big is baby? an itty bitty cherry

Upcoming appointments this week? I had one last week, and will have another next week for a "lady" checkup since I'm due for that. Yay. /sarcasm

Any new symptoms or changes? Holy moly I am tired.  I took 2 naps yesterday and then was in bed at 9.  

Rants/Raves/Questions? This is TMI.  When the ultrasound tech checked me out he said I had a spot on my uterus that is basically like a bruise with old blood in it, and I would be discharging it for WEEKS.  Let me tell you, he was not lying.  So gross.

GTKY: are you doing anything for Halloween this year? Do you like to dress up in costume or not so much?
I stupidly agreed to make both of my kids' costumes this year before I found out I was KU.  Boy am I cursing 2 month ago me.  For me, I'm always a cat, because I have a cat ear headband and then I put on some eyeliner whiskers.  Done and done.  Gimme the candy.

How big is baby? Size of a cherry 

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope. I started spotting again tonight though so calling OB in the AM to see if they want to see me. 

Any new symptoms or changes? More spotting, symptoms are all the same. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? Bumping is so hard with a toddler. I was active on A15 and this time it's just so.much.work. That's my rant!!

We had our friends party last weekend. We went as motocross racers because it was easy and we have all the gear haha. Will be taking DS t-or-t Monday around our in laws neighborhood. We live in the country. Not many neighbors!
