How big is baby? A strawberry - yumm

Upcoming appointments this week? I have my first actual meeting with my new midwive tomorrow, they had me scheduled with the same midwive I had for my last pregnancy and I had to have them switch me last minute. Last go I wanted a water birth so bad, but with our insurance it was just too much of a pain to figure out.. I decided I would settle with hydrotherapy during labor instead since my body rejects epidural I wanted the next best pain reliever. I selected my last midwive based on her being the leader of the hydro therapy department. She ended up being a major let down, and wasn't even really all that into it. We actually got into a mild fight at the end of my pregnancy and it was a miserable experience, she even ignored her page when I went in labor. Anyyyways I'm super excited to meet my new midwife, she just had a baby recently and is very pro all natural. 

Any new symptoms or changes?  I'm soooo miserable with nausea, that and my digestive system being so so slowed down I always feel bloated and super uncomfortable. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? Last Monday I had a ultrasound and they decided that my new due date is actually a day sooner, is a day really that big of deal to change my due date? I think I'm gonna stay a Tuesday girl until I speak with my midwife. 

GTKY: I'm about to get all super personal! Pregnancy dreams are always wild, but for some reason I have a ton of sex dreams during pregnancy, some get so intense I swear I'm having the big moment in them    lol please tell me I'm not the only one!!

How far along are you? 9 weeks, I'm new to Tuesday, moved from Friday!

How big is baby? Southern Pecan

Upcoming appointments this week? Nothing  until November 28th  

Any new symptoms or changes?  I've been feeling slightly less nauseated, but still completely exhausted. I also woke up with a sore throat today, so I'm hoping that I'm not getting a cold.

Rants/Raves/Questions? We have friends coming into town this weekend, and I feel so terrible because all I want to do is sleep.  I'm hoping they don't want to do anything that isn't fairly low key.

GTKY: let's talk dreams, are you having crazy pregnancy dreams yet?! 
Mine have been more like pregnancy nightmares! It isn't every night, but I've had some very scary and vivid dreams

How big is baby? Cherry

Upcoming appointments this week? Not until November 15th  

Any new symptoms or changes?  I felt like i lost all of my symptoms over the weekend which made me really nervous. The nausea has since returned, although not as strong. I'm also more exhausted than ever. I didn't make it past 7:30pm last night.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I work in a small office with three older men. I often wonder if they've noticed my frequent trips to the bathroom, swollen face, constant snacking and irritability. Hopefully they haven't noticed that under my baggy sweaters my pants are always unbuttoned. I'll be interested to see if/how our dynamic changes once I tell them I'm pregnant. 

GTKY: let's talk dreams, are you having crazy pregnancy dreams yet?! I've been having a lot of intense sex dreams as well. I've also had a lot of weird election dreams. Luckily the two haven't intertwined!

How far along are you? 7w0d. After ultrasound confirmed last week I'm sticking to it.

How big is baby? Blueberry! 

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope- next Tuesday though!

Any new symptoms or changes?  Just exhaustion mostly. Nausea controlled for the most part with b6 and doxylamine. Breasts are less sore (or maybe I'm getting used to it?) than before

Rants/Raves/Questions? Been on the phone with insurance nearly every day trying to figure out deductible, copays, insurance, etc so we can plan which is awful and exhausting itself. I think I'm getting close to a handle on it! 

GTKY: let's talk dreams, are you having crazy pregnancy dreams yet?! I have had a few breastfeeding dreams. My dreams also seem to be getting less vivid... They were the worst during the TWW.

Blueberry

Upcoming appointments this week?
Its within 7 days of that counts! It's on the 14th

Any new symptoms or changes?
My boobs. Dear god they have been super sore for the past three days! And spilling out of my bras which is kind of nice because they pretty much deflated after I stopped breastfeeding my DD. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? 
My husband and I plan on telling our parents and sisters after my appointment on the 14th, but we're trying to figure out when to tell them because we have a family dinner the day before, but I'd feel more comfortable telling them after seeing our little babe's ultrasound. 

GTKY: let's talk dreams, are you having crazy pregnancy dreams yet?! 
Just super random dreams! Last night I was at a Dr. Seuss themed amusement park with my husband's Army buddies then we had to chase one of them down because he kept running into fraternity houses to party all while I was trying to figure out which guy was pushing my daughter in the stroller.

Upcoming appointments this week? None this week but I had my first US last week and the baby is looking good! Got to hear his or her heartbeat for the first time! It's the sweetest sound! 

Any new symptoms or changes?  
My nausea has really surged this week. I was working night shift last night and threw up just before I had a serious meeting with someone... Looked like I'd been crying... Trying to hide my nausea. It's not easy 

Rants/Raves/Questions? 

So so I may have the Zika virus.
i was TTC and it wasn't happening so SO and I decided to go on holidays in the South Pacific. I decided Zika wouldn't affect me because I wasn't pregnant and might not get pregnant for a while... Anyway.. Turns out I was 3 days pregnant and didn't now it when I got there. 
Please don't judge / flame me. I already feel really stupid and really awful and anxious. 
Anyway my OB is awesome and I've had the blood tests ... Waiting for the results... So is also getting tested.. 
also got some blood test for other things ... Forget what they are but they're genetic disorders.. Cystic Fynrosis and Fragile X maybe?get the results soon too. 
Waiting is the worst. 

GTKY: let's talk dreams, are you having crazy pregnancy dreams yet?! 
Yes very lucid dreams... I didn't know this was a thing. Didn't have this with my last pregnancy!
