10 weeks

How big is baby? 

A strawberry or a lego man or a green olive (can you tell i have many pregnancy apps?  )

Upcoming appointments this week? 

No, but I have an ultrasound next Monday

Any new symptoms, changes, or cravings? 

Last week my nausea reached a point where I couldn't stand it any more, so my OB put me on Diclegis and it has helped tremendously! I still get nauseated in the mornings and slightly dizzy, but it's much more tolerable. I think I have the beginnings of a yeast infection, FX that my body heals itself. Anyone else have one yet?
Many many food aversions, and no cravings yet.

Rants/Raves/Questions?  

I didn't realize how much I would love telling people I'm pregnant. I was working nursery at church yesterday, and I told one of the ladies that I might not be in as often depending on how I feel, and she got so excited for me she started to cry. She knew how long we had been struggling to get pregnant and had been praying for me. So sweet it made me tear up!

GTKY: What's your guilty pleasure?
So this is probably lame, but I eat cereal and watch Vampire Diaries on Saturday mornings before DH gets up...

@BigBadWolf12 I can take over starting this thread

Upcoming appointments this week? 

I have an appointment on Friday. Not sure when my next ultrasound will be. 

Any new symptoms, changes, or cravings? 

I am eating everything since the morning sickness has faded. I've had headaches just about everyday. The girls at my work came down with a bug and now I have it. I've have had the worst sore throats and white patches in my throat. I have been gargling an abundance of salt water. 

Rants/Raves/Questions?  

I'm just tired of feeling like butt. 

GTKY: What's your guilty pleasure?
I really love playing video games.

Upcoming appointments this week? 

No.... unless I switch OBs I like the doc okay but the nurses and office staff are awful

Any new symptoms, changes, or cravings? 

STILL SICK and I'm super bloated so I'm in maturity pants already. Embarrassing but none of my pants fit and these are SO COMFY I'm in love 

Rants/Raves/Questions?  

My boobs were hurting last night and they were swollen so my grandma told me to put a cabbage in the fridge and then put the leaves on my boob. Lord that felt good lol it was like the perfect temperature ice pack and it helped so much even today!

GTKY: What's your guilty pleasure?
 Cabbage leaves lol no I hate exercising but I love to pole dance lol and it's such a good work out! I can't now though im afraid of falling when I go upside down or something

Yes, Wednesday and I believe I am getting another scan, fingers crossed anyways. 

Any new symptoms, changes, or cravings? 

I stopped feeling nauseous about a week ago but this morning I did get sick making my older kids breakfast, but I still have all the food aversions. 

Rants/Raves/Questions?  

More like a TMI warning haha. I just have to say EW at all the extra discharge it was like overnight 

GTKY: What's your guilty pleasure?
I will say cheesecake I love it. I not sure if it's a guilty pleasure though haha cause I never feel guilty after. 

*ETA- I didn't really realize that my R/R/Q could have been better under symptoms until now haha. Oh well.

Lurking to say, @Msashley2010 if you have white patches in your throat, you should definitely go to the doctor. It could be strep throat, which can infect your kidneys if left untreated.

msashley2010-2

@amandarene112 Thank you! At first I wasn't going to go but SO is really concerned. I've never had strep before and had no idea it could affect my kidneys. I'll probably end up going to urgent care today since I'm off work.

Strawberry

Upcoming appointments this week? 

A week from Tuesday for NT scan and blood stuff

Any new symptoms, changes, or cravings? 

I had a sharp chest pain this morning and some tightness when I inhaled so keeping an eye on that!! Cravings and aversions are kind of waning...depends on the day.

Rants/Raves/Questions?  

DD is boycotting her nap today which sucks cuz she's going to miss it tomorrow when we travel back to TX from CO so she might be a bear! Rave...she saw snow yesterday for the first time and it was seriously the cutest darn thing ever. It's my favorite thing about having a child...seeing the newness and wonder of things through their eyes. 

GTKY: What's your guilty pleasure?
I love watching The Bachelor on Tuesday afternoon when my DD naps! Only time I can squeeze it in...I also love (and greatly miss) my FaceTime wine lunches with my bff! We FT around lunch once a week and have wine and cheese lol...she's in CA and I'm in TX. It's our kid free "adult" time!

Sorry y'all, I'm a little late to the game.  I'm learning that the few days before appointments are tough for me and I kind of go into hiding!

How far along are you? 11 weeks (11+1 today!)

How big is baby? lime

Upcoming appointments this week? Had both OB and MFM appointments today!  Baby is looking great, measuring right on track, if not a little big, and NT scans show low risk of Downs...ANDDDDDD my MFM is pretty sure IT'S A GIRL!  Blood work will confirm 100% but she's pretty sure.  

Any new symptoms, changes, or cravings? Nothing new!  Waiting for my energy to get better!

Rants/Raves/Questions?  IT'S A GIRL!  I am happy either way, I just want a healthy baby to bring home, but I think my daughter and God knew that my heart needs girl

GTKY: What's your guilty pleasure? Hershey's Hugs and all the crappy TV
