For those unfamiliar, your ticker change day is whatever day of the week that you start a new week in your pregnancy. For example, If you are 5+0 weeks today, then Thursdays are your ticker change days. You will only check in on Thursdays threads.  (eta for title wording, because pregnancy brain)

How big is baby? 
As big as a blueberry

Upcoming appointments this week? 
None this week. 

Any new symptoms or changes? 
I feel like my pregnancy symptoms are all over the place. One day I'll have nausea and food aversions, and the next I want to eat everything in sight. My boobs are quite a bit bigger and so much bloat. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? 
See above: I hate that my symptoms keep changing. It's a mind F. With DS1 I had no symptoms. But with DS2, I had all of them. So I guess with this one I'm going to have a combination of the two? 

GTKY: Do you have any hobbies? 
I love to cook and I love makeup. Nothing is more relaxing to me than to sit down and play with my makeup and create a look. It's very therapeutic.

I am 6+0

How big is baby?
A chocolate chip

Upcoming appointments this week?
Not until the end of the month.

Any new symptoms or changes?
Maybe starting to get a hint if nausea, but that's mostly when I drink a lot of water or eat too much. Otherwise just feeling exhausted.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm a little stressed because I'm supposed to put in my vacation for the entire year by the end of the month. But I feel like there's a lot of stuff I won't know about until later like potential showers? I guess I'll have to make my best guess and hope things work out.

GTKY: Do you have any hobbies?
I love writing songs with my ukulele. They rarely turn out well enough for me to share them with people, but it's something I really enjoy.

How big is baby? 
According to TB, the size of an appleseed.  According to my Pregnancy+ app, baby is 0.1" in length.

Upcoming appointments this week? 
My midwife won't see me until between 7-8 weeks, so I don't go in until 2/3.

Any new symptoms or changes? 
Fatigue has hit.  I forgot how tiring it was with DS, and it appears this baby is on the same path. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? 
I'm curious if I'll be considered AMA after a conversation on a thread here yesterday.  I'm 34, turning 35 mid-August.  This baby is due mid-September.  I'm secretly hoping I am considered AMA so I get more u/s!

GTKY: Do you have any hobbies? 
I'm a reader and a yogi.  We spend a lot of time in the mountains, so I love outdoor winter and summer sports.  We love to entertain in our home, so I love the planning and prep that goes into that!  Spending time with my family, my dogs, and my friends is what I prefer to do most though.

How big is baby? a poppyseed

Upcoming appointments this week? Nothing until February

Any new symptoms or changes? No symptoms at all 

Rants/Raves/Questions? I don't like being due at the end of the month!    I feel like I'll be so behind those here that are due early September (symptoms wise, appts, announcements, etc).  

GTKY: Do you have any hobbies? i love doing all things crafty.

@jmn1985  I know the feeling!  My due date with DS was 11/29/12 and I always felt so far behind everyone on my BMB.  Looking back, it was actually really good for me.  I knew what to expect because of what the ladies shared - from baby showers to hospital preparation, from OB visits to bringing the baby home.  I somehow felt like I knew what I was doing because of being so far behind everyone in my BMB

6 weeks! 

How big is baby? 
a popping firecracker, a chocolate chip, or a ladybug (love my Ovia app!)

Upcoming appointments this week? 
Going Tuesday for my first real appointment.. really excited/nervous. 

Any new symptoms or changes? 
Y'all... the nausea has gotten real. Luckily, I'm making it through the day okay, but I was SO miserable last night. I just keep telling myself "I can be sick, if the baby is just healthy..."

Rants/Raves/Questions? 
The discharge is on my nerves. It sends me to a panic that it is blood, and as a teacher I can't just go to the bathroom and check. 

GTKY: Do you have any hobbies? 
Does collecting animals and watching crap TV count? lol I am trying to get back into reading. I also watch entirely too many makeup tutorials on YouTube.

How big is baby? Blueberry 

Upcoming appointments this week? Next week! I can't wait! 

Any new symptoms or changes? Still bloated and tired, but minimal nausea, so I can't complain 

Rants/Raves/Questions? The cravings/hunger are real. Before I got KU, I was really good about sticking with a diet, and now, there are only certain things that appeal to me at any given time, and most of them are unhealthy. I'd also like to work more walking and possibly yoga, but right now I just want to sleep. 

GTKY: Do you have any hobbies? Not really. DH and I are really into TV/movies. I like walking outside, dancing, and cooking.

How big is baby? Sweet pea

Upcoming appointments this week? Nothing until 1/19

Any new symptoms or changes? I think my mind is starting to go. Last night I couldn't keep Thor and Hulk straight   

Rants/Raves/Questions? @Sprite2012 I'm wondering the same thing as well, I turn 35 late August and don't know if that will make me AMA

GTKY: Do you have any hobbies? Horses. Running. I enjoy reading when I have time. Watching shows and movies. And more that I basically never have time/energy for, Kayaking, jigsaw puzzles, coloring, cooking, making flower arrangements/baskets, 

Sprite2012

@Carebella  I called my insurance company this morning to ask, because ultimately, they dictate what's covered and how.  "AMA is determined by your age at time of expected delivery".  So I guess I'm AMA

How big is baby? Ladybug! 

Upcoming appointments this week? Not yet!

Rants/Raves/Questions? it's the witching week.. come on baby keep growing!

GTKY: Do you have any hobbies? 
I love to read.  I don't think I have any other hobbies! Haha. Makeup, shopping, sleep? I do enjoy cooking every once in a while.

How far along are you? 5 (+ 1 because I am a day late I don't bump from home and I didn't work yesterday)

How big is baby? Sesame Seed

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope two weeks from now is my first. That seems super early to me at 7 weeks but I am not complaining about it.

Any new symptoms or changes? None yet I almost wish I had some to ease my mind a little

Rants/Raves/Questions? How far along will you be when you first see the doctor? I know this differs based on circumstances I am just looking for a general idea. Last time I didn't see them until I was 11 weeks this time they are seeing me at 7.

GTKY: Do you have any hobbies? Not really I volunteer too much and love to read.

@bswishe4  I am going Tuesday, I'll be 6+5.

bswishe4

@HollyGolightly09 Thank you! I googled it but got different answers so I just wanted to get an idea.

Sugargirl1019

@bswishe4 My office also sees first at 7 weeks for a dating u/s!

bswishe4

@Sugargirl1019 Thanks I figured it was just to confirm I didn't realize they may do the dating u/s this early now I'm even more excited! Good luck with your appointment!
