Upcoming appointments this week? Nope, good luck to those that do!
Any new symptoms or changes? My boob soreness seems to be letting up, but it's still there. I'm not sure if I am getting used to it or if I'm getting a little break now! I am also not throwing up as much. Hallelujah! I am now trying to stay ahead by making sure I eat and snack. That helps sooooo much!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I have been trying to be happy that my symptoms have let up, but I didn't realize how hard it would be not to worry! I've gotten used to them.
GTKY: what has been your favorite vacation taken? When FH and I went to Colorado! We hiked everyday, went to the zoo, ate yummy food and got engaged there! I will forever love that state! Haha
How big is baby? one app says a kidney bean and the other says 1/2 Lego brick
Upcoming appointments this week? 2nd ultrasound on Friday! Being an IVF baby, we had one at 6 weeks and will have another at 10 weeks before getting turned over to a regular OB!
Any new symptoms or changes? the nausea has subsided a bit but now my boobs are getting more and more tender. The exhaustion has not let up yet...I slept 12 hours the other night!
Rants/Raves/Questions? nothing much to rant about. I have a good friend who is about 2 weeks ahead of me in her pregnancy and she has been getting sick multiple times a day. I keep reminding myself that my nausea is definitely bearable!
GTKY: what has been your favorite vacation taken? our honeymoon was a 2 week Mediterranean cruise that was just fantastic. Most of our time was Italy and Greece.

@jpearl2307 I applied for a Birthright Israel trip. Birthright is a program where anyone who is Jewish and between the ages of 18-26 can apply to go on a free 10 day trip to Israel. One of my friends also went, but aside from that everyone else I didn't know.
Upcoming appointments this week? None til 11 weeks
Any new symptoms or changes? Moody but maybe that's because my parents visited
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm so tired.
GTKY: what has been your favorite vacation taken? We always love disney. We also took our first ski trip to visit my friend in MI from my DD birth month group last year. Playing in the snow was so fun.
How big is baby? Fig or lime depending on app. I say fig size seems more realistic.
Upcoming appointments this week? Had geneticist today and associated bloodwork.
Any new symptoms or changes? Holy boob soreness Batman! I keep having to remind myself not to bend over. I am so over feeling tired and pukey.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Kind of felt geneticist appt. could have been a phone call with bw paperwork mailed to us.
My MIL is needy and driving me nuts. She watches my son when I have appointments, but sometimes I wish she didn't live across the street. She keeps dumping things on my husband to do and he's at his breaking point between work, family stuff and baby appointments. I should feel grateful for free child care, but every two seconds there is a "problem" that only my husband canhane for her. She has two other kids to help. Gah!
GTKY: what has been your favorite vacation taken? Honeymoon cruise to Carribean. It's cold here, I want to go someplace warm and toasty. @LoweeeK, I am super jealous and would love a Mediterranean cruise. Maybe when the LO's are older I will talk hubby into going.
How far along are you? 9 weeks How big is baby? The app on my phone says the baby is as big as a Southern Pecan Upcoming appointments this week? Nothing until Feb. 7th Any new symptoms or changes? Still exhausted and nauseated. Rants/Raves/Questions? My dating ultrasound pushed me back 6 days (my LMP would have my edd be 8/17) so it kinda sucked feeling like I had to be 8 weeks for two weeks in a row...though I suppose it is better to deal with that now than go "late" by a week at the end. GTKY: what has been your favorite vacation taken? When I was 18 years old I flew to Europe by myself and then spent three weeks sailing on a tall ship through the Black Sea and making port in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and England.

Hi Ladies, my due date is now 8/9 so I'll be joining you here.
How far along are you? 11 weeks
How big is baby? Brussels sprout
Upcoming appointments this week? I had an appt yesterday. Dr couldn't find the heartbeat using the doppler so she did an ultrasound and was able to see heartbeat and everything was okay. I had my blood draw for the NIPT also. Now I'm just trying to decide if I should also get the NT scan.
Any new symptoms or changes? Nothing new
Rants/Raves/Questions? Still trying to get back on schedule from going on a ski trip this weekend. I didn't ski but had a great time!
GTKY: what has been your favorite vacation taken? Napa Valley
We have same DD. We did the NIPT stuff today and our NT scan is next week. We are a little older and like to be prepared. I look forward to the NT scan next week, just to see the little nugget again.
@Lauradi1010 I'm going to call insurance this week and see if they'll cover the NT scan and NIPT. I don't think they'll cover the NIPT since I'm under 35 but they will cover the NT scan. The out of pocket max for the NIPT is $295 so right now I'm leaning towards getting both.
@britvahok, definitely call insurance. I'd didn't matter for us because we have a plan with deductibles. Once we hit that, we get 90% of everything covered. We also have an out of pocket max, but not sure what that is since the switch. Super lucky we went with the "gold" standard on our insurance plan this year.
Last time we had a $5000 deductible before anything was covered.
Upcoming appointments this week? Tomorrow I have my first regular appointment with one of the OBs. Nothing special, but I think they will probably try the Doppler.
Any new symptoms or changes? Nausea is subsiding a bit. Boobs are more sensitive.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Eh...nothing is moving me right now. Haha
GTKY: what has been your favorite vacation taken? Caribbean trip was my honeymoon in Mexico. Winter-y trip was the Park City, Utah. Both places = amazing. :-)
How far along are you? 11 weeks. How big is baby? uh, lime? Upcoming appointments this week? Had one today. OB is electing to ignore the dating scan that set me back two weeks. Any new symptoms or changes? All the nausea and exhaustion all the time. Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm so flipping tired. GTKY: what has been your favorite vacation taken? ...people take vacations? Womp womp.
