2. How are you feeling?
Nervous. I have a sch although I'm not bleeding but I am still scares if losing the baby.

I had an appointment yesterday. I got to see the baby and see the heartbeat.

Has anyone else had a subchorionic hemorrhage and not bleed? How did your pregnancy go?
5. GTKY: Most/least wanted baby shower gift?
We won't do a baby shower but if I did, I would want cloth diapers. Least wanted is a bouncer or play pen.

2. How are you feeling?  Fine, just tired due to lack of sleep (have had insomnia issues for a while)

4. Rants, raves, questions? Rave: I submitted a draft copy of my capstone paper to finish my master's degree today! Waiting for suggested edits and then will work on a final draft.
5. GTKY: Most/least wanted baby shower gift? 
I am not a picky person and figure any gift is a nice gesture. Not sure if we will do a baby shower. But if I had to chose, I would say it would be great to get a practical, every day items like cloth diapers or bottles. Would prefer not to get a ton of clothing (especially sizes 0 months - 6 months) since babies grow so fast.

@CubsFan7 so glad you got to hear the baby's heartbeat! I haven't had sch but hoping for the best for you

darlabauer

@dragonfly87 that is a huge accomplishment getting so close to finishing your masters degree!!!!!! I have been tossing and turning at night as well. Is the insomnia something you've been treating? One of my friends had it while pregnant and went to a naturopath.

@darlabauer thanks! I have been working on my degree for a few years, so I am ready to be done. 

For my insomnia, I starting taking Natural Calm a few months ago and it worked great. My doc isn't familar with it and suggested I stop taking it. So the insomnia had returned and is brutal. I might have to look into a naturopath.

A day late, but I worked a 12 yesterday and had no time to bump... 

1. How many weeks are you?
6 weeks!
2. How are you feeling?
Oh so very bloated. And gassy. I can't stop burping. I'm exhausted and the nausea/food adversions can go away anytime. 
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope. 
4. Rants, raves, questions?
DH is adamant about not even telling family until around 10 weeks (Easter). Wwwhhhyyyy?! We told with our first right around 6/7 weeks. 
5. GTKY: Most/least wanted baby shower gift?
Im sure we won't have a shower, but maybe Aden & anais swaddles? I've been dying to figure out what this nugget is. I can't wait to buy more, and I can't find any gender neutral ones I love. 

Hallo123

Also a day late.

1. How many weeks are you?
7 weeks (+1)

2. How are you feeling?
I'm SO tired! I'm struggling to stay up at night, all I want to do is sleep. I really wasn't this tired my first pregancy.
I'm relieved to be less nauseated. Last night I had a heavy headache for the first time. 
Also having a lot of zits and still having sore boobs.
3. Any appointments this week?
No, counting down the day till 4/3. 
4. Rants, raves, questions?
No
5. GTKY: Most/least wanted baby shower gift?
Baby showers aren't quite regular in Holland (am quite happy about that actually )

Also a day late, but I felt miserable yesterday

1. How many weeks are you? 7 weeks (+1)
2. How are you feeling? Not too bad today. Morning (all day) sickness has had me wiped out so I took a mental health day and slept in. Best decision!
3. Any appointments this week? A week from today I have my first appointment
4. Rants, raves, questions? Rave: my boyfriend is amazing! I've been a total pain in the ass lately but he's been doing the best job taking care of me. His goal every day is to make me smile which is not easy when I'm throwing up all day. I'm so lucky to have him!
5. GTKY: Most/least wanted baby shower gift? I think I most want a baby carrier but I will be happy with whatever; I'll appreciate anything people are willing to get for my baby.

@dragonfly87 it is so frustrating when your doctor doesn't understand what works for you hope you can find someone more suportive!

darlabauer

@Roliepoliecoley4 ah have you at least been able to tell some close friends? Maybe he'll feel more comfortable sharing with close family after your ultrasound. It's funny how the things we weren't worried about the first time suddenly show up, I have been worried about stuff I was blissfully ignorant of first time around!

darlabauer

@Hallo123 glad you took a day off to rest!! I'm curious is this your first pregnancy in Holland? What else is different (I'm wondering about nutrition recommendations)

darlabauer

@mparmenter91 glad your boyfriend is so supportive! Do you have your eye on a specific carrier? I've tried the Moby, ergo and tula so far...

Hallo123

@darlabauer I didn't take a day off, that was somebody else

But I don't know what is different, except that I have a 18 month year old walking around right now. I could rest way more the first time. I don't think a lot has changed to what I'm eating.

1. How many weeks are you?
6w6d
2. How are you feeling?
Pretty good.  Had some rough nights the first week we knew. Woke up several times a night and had weird dreams but that has calmed down.  Nausea hasn't been too bad, though little one has their moments of laughing when I think I'm going to eat something.  Mostly sore bbs and tired.
3. Any appointments this week?
First appointment Tuesday!!! I'll be 7w3d.  I opted to wait a little longer before the first apt because too many friends went in early and came out with concerns.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
I'm really struggling between wanting to tell the world and really enjoying the fact that no one knows... A part of me just wants to wait and see how long it takes people to start asking... 
5. GTKY: Most/least wanted baby shower gift?
Most... Idk... nice cloth diapers or a nice carrier?  
Least: Clothes!  Please no clothes!  Those are so easy to get and so quickly no longer used.  Baby won't care if the first three months are spent in white onsies!  I've always kinda wanted to wait and not find out gender.  Primarily cause I actually think it would be fun that way- but the fun is increased by knowing how many friends it would drive crazy as their records attest that they deviate from registries in favor of outfits!  Lol.  (I promise I'm not a terrible person!)
