1) How many weeks are you? 10 weeks!!! This week feels like a big deal for some reason. 

2) How are you feeling? My nausea has settled in the past few days. Although I did still throw up yesterday. Which I'm grateful for. The lack of nausea was really getting to my PGAL brain. I'm still nervous now. 

3) Any appointments or tests this week? We have a quick scan with our OB on Thursday just for peace of mind. She said after 10 weeks of a heartbeat is strong that your risk of miscarriage reduces significantly. So I'm just praying everything goes well and hopefully I get some reassurance from that. 

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? My DS seems to have gotten the memo that I'm pregnant and wants to be with me at all times. Including the middle of the night when his mommy wants to sleep! Thankfully my husband has been helping with night duty and sleeping in DS's glider so I can get some sleep. 

5) GTKY: What has been your favourite vacation? I loved going to New York. I'm a big Broadway fan! And it's an exciting city. But I also love all inclusive resorts where I can relax on a beach!!

1. How many weeks are you? 9 weeks.

2. How are you feeling?  This isn't really pregnancy related but I have the worst stomach flu. It came on Saturday night while at a dinner party and still going strong today. Feeling rotten and empty. 

3. Any appointments or tests this week? None this week. We had our first ultrasound last Thursday. Baby measurd on track and strong heartbeat. Looking at my husband's face as he watched the screen felt like falling in love with him all over again. 

4. Rants/raves/questions. I know it's silly and 12 weeks pregnant isn't a magic number, but I really want the security of being in the second trimester. As a pgal, my brain isn't letting me enjoy the early bits. 

5. What has been your favourite vacation? 
Two summers ago, when DS was only 3 months, we went to Rome and Tuscany for 2 weeks in May. The weather was perfect temp to walk around all day, all the orange trees were in blossom, the food was to die for and Italians LOVE babies. We felt like celebrities walking around with a baby. Old men on the streets would come up and coo and gush over my son. Being away and just relaxing together so also gave us the space to figure out how we were going to work as a family. Take me back.

1) How many weeks are you? 10 weeks

2) How are you feeling? I'm doing ok. Exhaustion seems to be a little better, but nausea is still in full force. Boobs are feeling less tender, too. Ready for these symptoms to let up as I get close to 2nd tri!

3) Any appointments or tests this week? Nope. I had my first appt. and ultrasound last Thursday. Baby was measuring a few days behind, as I expected due to when I thought I ovulated, but they are keeping my due date Oct. 2 since it was so close. Next appt. is scheduled for March 29, when I'll be 13 weeks.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Like @Designmamauk, I'm anxiously awaiting the 2nd trimester. I've told my boss, our parents, and a few close friends, but we're waiting to tell everyone else until 12-13 weeks (ideally, after my next appt.). It'll be nice to be able to be more open about the pregnancy.

5) GTKY: What has been your favourite vacation? When I was in college, I spent 2 weeks in Spain and Italy with one of my best friends. We had such a great time and I feel like I became so much more independent with that experience.

1) How many weeks are you? I am 6 weeks today
2) How are you feeling? I am just tired and starting to get hints of morning sickness. Moody
3) Any appointments or tests this week? nope 
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? the news has been driving me crazy! I like to stay somewhat informed but I am getting so emotional with certain articles etc 
5) GTKY: What has been your favourite vacation?
My honeymoon cruise to the western Caribbean was amazing. 

Colada584

1) How many weeks are you? 8 weeks

2) How are you feeling? Nauseous and emotional. Everything is making me cry and everyone is annoying me. 

3) Any appointments or tests this week? Nope not this week. 

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I have a huge laundry basket of DD's clothes that need to be folded and put away. The baskets been sitting on my couch for 2 days. I can't seem to find the energy to do anything about it. I might just throw the basket in her room and we will just dig around in there when we need something. 

5) GTKY: What has been your favourite vacation?  DH and I went to Hawaii when we were in college. It was our first real vacation together and it was amazing. We ended up moving there for a year after college because we liked it so much.

2) How are you feeling? Sick and tired

3) Any appointments or tests this week? First set of blood tests on Tuesday.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Meh. Just keeping on keeping on! Like a lot of you, I'll be a lot more relaxed once I'm done with the first trimester.

5) GTKY: What has been your favourite vacation? I loved NYC for our honeymoon, but hanging out in the Okanagan last summer was pretty awesome. We had no expectations at all and spent a ton of time just hanging out at our hotel's private beach, drinking peach daiquiris

1) How many weeks are you? 7 weeks 

2) How are you feeling? Awful! I got hit Friday with MS. I was feeling so good prior with just appetite decrease, but now the full blown nausea has hit. I haven't thrown up still because I keep trying to ease the feeling with apples, preggie pops, mint tea, and carbs. 

3) Any appointments or tests this week? Next Wednesday is my first appt. finally! 

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I had a crazy weekend of dance competition this past weekend. I am so so tired. 5:30 wake ups and watching dances from 8 am to 10 pm for two days straight is hard. I get to do it all again next weekend. I love it, but the struggle is real. 

5) GTKY: What has been your favourite vacation? Last year we went to the Kalahari in Ohio for the girls dance nationals. Honestly that was my favorite so far. It involved the girls dancing, awesome resort, and fun for everyone. Plus they made the best pina coladas.

3) Any appointments or tests this week? Nope 

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Not that I can currently remember..

5) GTKY: What has been your favourite vacation? We took our kids to Disneyland this last summer. It was a lot of fun to see their reactions and to realize they were so much braver than I thought they would be!


Sorry everything is bold. I'm on my phone and can't figure out how to change it.

azerimama

1) How many weeks are you? 10 weeks
2) How are you feeling? Still nauseous, irritable, and tired.
3) Any appointments or tests this week?Nope, but I finally got an ultrasound scheduled for next week. I'm super anxious to hear a heartbeat.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?What is with this waking up to pee 4-5 times a night?! I didn't have this problem till mid second trimester last time.... yeesh. I'm over this, and it's making me cranky tired.
5) GTKY: What has been your favourite vacation?Antalya, Turkey. My husband and I met while I was serving overseas, and we vacationed to Turkey, where he proposed to me on the beach at night under a beautiful moonlit sky with fireworks going off in the distance. It was seriously storybook! 

esjones2

1) How many weeks are you? 8 wks
2) How are you feeling? Tired, nauseous, bloated.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Yes! First appt is Wednesday (finally)! I'm so excited and anxious. 
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? It's so hard having a toddler that is attached to you and climbs and kicks your belly/boobs (accidentally). It's going to be tough once I actually have a baby bump. 
5) GTKY: What has been your favourite vacation? This is hard but probability Jamaica with my husband. We went a month before getting pregnant with DS so it was kinda like our last vacation "just us two".

callababy17
