I realized I never answered this. 

How far are you? 14w4d today.

How are you feeling? Meh. The headaches and hip pain are driving me bonkers. I think I'm going to have to accelerate my plan to go to prenatal yoga. I found two studios within a few miles of me, but the only classes I can go to are on the weekends. I really hope that helps. I'm getting desperate. Also, I fluctuate between loving my H and wanting to rip his head off. So, completely normal...

Questions? Comments? Has anyone read the book Good Dog, Happy Baby? I bought it (and, obviously haven't read it yet), but I'm wondering if it is helpful. 

GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Caution: Spontaneous snark may issue from quiet exterior.

How far are you? 12w today.

How are you feeling? Tired. Although that is improvement from exhaustion. And I'm starting to get my appetite back, but still avoiding sweets. The people excited about cupcakes the other day made me so sad/jealous. Cupcakes make me want to...

Questions? Comments? How long can potty training rrally take? I feel like I'm going on month 11, and while #1 is good to go, #2 is the most frightening thing for my daughter. Some day she'll be out of diapers, then when she gets old, she'll be back in. But still. Oy.

GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Caution: I think like a scientist and if you say things in a factual way, that are not factual, I will search pub med to prove you wrong and will love it.

How far are you? 12w+2d

How are you feeling?  I'm coming back from Nausea City and finally have started feeling like my old self besides wanting to eat everything constantly.  By everything I mean the foods that don't make me gag, which include fruit, cereal, Lays potato chips, and salad.  I've been tired and had a lot of round ligament pain the last two days.  My moods can be all over the place, but overall I'm happy and excited.

Questions? Comments?  I have lost almost 70 lbs prior to getting pregnant and 30 of that was from my gastric sleeve.  I've had to up my calories because my doctor wants me to maintain right now even though I'm still a 16/18, so I'm doing my best to make sure I take in enough.  It can be frustrating, but it's all worth it for my baby.

GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say?  Caution: Random comments/general snark/sarcasm constant.  Laughter generally expected after.

How far are you? 13+6

How are you feeling? Still nauseated why. Otherwise, pretty good! Hoping to look more pregnant soon - I actually haven't gained at all since my BFP, but I have the beginning of a bump combined with chub I can't suck in anymore and am not feeling great about how I look.

Questions? Comments? Eh, not unless any of you can predict the future and tell me when I'll stop feeling so barfy.

GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Warning: Anything you say to me might go into a script.

Awesome job on the pre-baby weight loss! Maybe after all these babies show up, we can have a group for weight loss. For now, I'd love to hear what you're doing for eating daily. Lots of little meals? Normal 3 square meals? Trying to balance everything.

How are you feeling? Overall, not terrible! Which is nice and also frightening lol since I can't really feel baby move. I am still pretty exhausted though and the heartburn remains so there's that...

Questions? Comments? No questions. So far i have not gained any weight, which i think is good since I am supposed to gain only 15 pounds the entire pregnancy. I'm trying to balance foods I like with healthy foods that I like (or at least don't hate lol). 

GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Probably something along the lines of "I may be quiet but I am secretly judging you."

@JmU_Duuuukes07I'd love a weight loss group after!  I'm going to be ready to kick it back into high gear after baby comes!  Right now, I'm eating about 6 times a day with three being meals and the other three being snacks.  I'm trying to keep my protein up (most days) and make better choices.  I'm really into cereal and salads right now... and Taco Bell.  For snacks, I keep protein bars and fruit around because I adore fruit right now.  How about you?  Do you snack a lot?

ETA: tagging issues.  not sure I'm doing it right.

How far are you? 14 weeks 3 days 

How are you feeling? Emotional Wreck. One minute I'm fine. Another minute I'm not. Headaches everyday.

Questions? Comments? When does irritability stop? Nobody wants to be around me cause I'm grouchy 

GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? I say how I feel and get irritable easily

Sweet! I too am doing a lot of small meals with snacking. I just had to make the switch from my cereal in the morning to a bagel because I needed something more substantial. I've been trying to snack well in terms of protein; I got the pretzels stuffed with PB and I have some nuts at my desk. I also find myself wanting 100 calorie packs of popcorn, because I'm craving salt. Trying to keep each snack under 100 calories. Some fruit is ok but I really don't want sweets at all. It's horrible I would normally love an apple or orange as a snack and right now they're both on my yuck list.

@maybeitsmadeline have you increased your calorie intake at all? I'm still about the same, so I've been losing a little bit of weight. I just hope my doc clears me to go back to the gym next week after my hemorrhage.

Those are great snacks and great ideas!!! I'm getting 100 cal snacks at the grocery store this week.  How funny!  We are the opposite!  Mostly savory things are on my yuck list.  Meat is something I can forego if it wasn't for the large amounts of protein it has.  I've been trying to eat some chicken and beef, but it's not really anything I've craved at all.  As far as calorie intake, I think I've gone up about between 2-400 calories, so an average of 300 a day.

It's great that you're motivated to work out!  I'm trying to get back in gear and go back to yoga.  I was really into it in the early weeks before I knew I was pregnant and then the wave of exhaustion hit me, so I'm hoping it leaves soon so I can go more frequently.  FX that you get cleared!  I'd love to hear your workout routine.  I've always been an elliptical girl when I go to the gym.  It's fun for me.

I'd be game for the weight loss group afterwards.

Be gentle, I'm sensitive.
