How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 
9 weeks/ Cherry 

How are you feeling? Uggggg! I'm so tired. I just want to go home and sleep for day. Guess I'll work. Sore boobs, Nausea (I'm on three diclegis a day), and everything still tastes sweet. I had eggs for breakfast, it left a sweet taste in my mouth. 

Any appointments this week? Nope. May 24

Rants, raves, questions?

My great grandmother. My DD is named after her. She was such a huge part of my life. I would love to sit and hear her stories one more time and let her meet my husband and baby.

How are you feeling? 
Great! 
Any appointments this week? 
Thursday. Not sure what this appt is for, but I'm excited to hear the heartbeat again before officially announcing! 
Rants, raves, questions? 
None today 
GTKY: If you could have lunch with one person, dead or alive, who would it be? 
Probably my grandfather. He was such a great guy and had so many amazing stories. I didn't appreciate them enough when he was alive.

How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 9 weeks here too, I guess Cherry?

How are you feeling? Pretty good.  I'm starving in the morning and by late afternoon nauseous a little and don't want to eat. Bloated, constipated, and tired top the list. 

Any appointments this week? Nope, not til the 26th.  2 more weeks... 

Rants, raves, questions? Anyone else telling grandparents this weekend?  We are going to tell our parents on Mother's Day... I'm a little nervous.. 

GTKY: If you could have lunch with one person, dead or alive, who would it be? My grandpa.  He died when I was in elementary school and I'd like to have a conversation with him as an adult. My other three grandparents were around for quite some time and two still are..

10 weeks, strawberry (which I am also currently eating, lol!)

How are you feeling? 
Bad today.  Have not felt good for a day and a half with a rough headache.  Lately I have two good days followed by two bad days.  I'm hoping next week it lightens up a bit.  I read that your HCG levels can make 9 weeks the worse and it definitely seemed true for me.

Any appointments this week? 
I had a bunch of test yesterday including a 1 hr glucose.  Passed everything with flying colors so that was very relieving!

Rants, raves, questions? 
On Sunday it will be one year since we had our second miscarriage.  I think I will feel so much better when I get past that point but for the next few days I'm going to be a mess.

GTKY: If you could have lunch with one person, dead or alive, who would it be? 
Right now I am reading about Queen Victoria so I'd say her, before she got married.  I just want to see how an 18 year old girl figured out how to rule a country!

How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 
9 weeks, cherry or a jack. 

How are you feeling? I feel horrible if I'm going to be honest. Migraines, morning sickness, and horrible acid reflux. On top of that, I have a cold. 

Any appointments this week? 
On Monday I go in for my appointment with the Nurse Practicioner and I take my glucola test. I already know I'm going to fail. 

Rants, raves, questions? 
None 

GTKY: If you could have lunch with one person, dead or alive, who would it be? 

My grandma. I loved her so much and she always wanted to meet my children. She was awesome.

9 weeks, size of a cherry 

How are you feeling? 
Not good. I have horrible morning sickness. I am so tired I feel like I could sleep for days! Looking forward to my 20 month old's nap time so I can nap also.

Any appointments this week? 
Had an ultrasound on Tuesday and saw my little gummy bear for the first time 

Rants, raves, questions? 
This is my first time posting (since my last pregnancy Sept 2015). Excited to be a part of this group. 

GTKY: If you could have lunch with one person, dead or alive, who would it be? 
My grandmother who has passed. She never got to meet my husband and daughter.

@dkizz82 I hope your symptoms ease up soon! You're getting close to 12 weeks so they should! 

@tmk0325 how are you planning to tell them? 

@andipandicWed121369 yay for passing eh glucose test! I had to do mine early as well and I'm so relieved I passed! 

@jlemons-2 a cold on top of those symptoms?! Brutal! I hope you feel better soon!

@carlialexis welcome! Make sure you intro on the main intro thread too! 

dkizz82

@ktcakes87 thank you! 

@tmk0325 @jlemons-2 @carlialexis grandparents are so special. I am in tears reading and thinking of all my grandparents. 

tmk0325

@ktcakes87 I really don't have anything planned this time around. I got a mothers day "grandma" card for both of our moms and am just going to sign it, "Love, Clay, Cohen, and Baby K and see if they catch it. lol.  With the twins (before we knew there were two), I made onesies for each set and we gave it to them as a belated xmas gift.  One said, "the best parents get promoted to grandparents, baby K due August 2016" and the other said, "I love my grandparents, baby K due August 2016."  When we found out there were two we just said oh would you want to see the ultrasound pics and waited to see how long it took for people to realize they were looking at two!

@dkizz82 they really are! It's fun watching my parents become grandparents as well. The love is so much. 

@carlialexis hi fellow S15 member!! 

kater622

How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 10 weeks, a Lego Man!

How are you feeling? Pretty good today. Main symptoms lately are fatigue, bloating, constipation, mood swings, and sore breasts. Thankfully the nausea has really eased up, I only experience it if I smell something icky.

Any appointments this week? I have exactly 4 weeks until my next appointment. But who's counting

Rants, raves, questions? The mood swings at work are tough. It makes me feel so emotionally fragile and like I would be unable to cope with tough clients. Which is unlike me and I'm not trying to act like a baby for my entire pregnancy. I'm going to practice being more mindful.

GTKY: If you could have lunch with one person, dead or alive, who would it be? At the moment I would say Simone De Beauvoir because I'm currently reading her book "The Second Sex". I think she would have a lot of insightful things to say about the current state of the world. (Simone is also my top pick for a girl name but for some reason DH absolutely hates the name  booo)

9, Green Olive 
How are you feeling? 
Better than yesterday and this morning. Went to ER and got fluids and another anti-nausea med. they recommended zofran and OB agreed so I'm on that now and hoping it helps me function. 

Any appointments this week? 
Not until the 22nd but I did get to see my little wiggle worm today at the hospital. Strong HR of 176 and s/he was bouncing about so that was a relief 

Rants, raves, questions? 

GTKY: If you could have lunch with one person, dead or alive, who would it be? 
I would say my mom - she passed in 2009 and I'd give anything to have one last conversation with her 

dkizz82

@Marley629 I am so sorry about your mom. I bet this weekend is a hard one for you. Thinking of you. 

Glad you got to see baby again and are feeling a little better. 

beary67

@Marley629 girl I hope you find some relief soon!  Thinking of you.   

How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 10--a strawberry. 

How are you feeling? Still have some nausea, fatigue and tender breasts. Feeling so much better after seeing the twins on Thursday at our ultrasound. 

Any appointments this week? Nope. NT scan is on the 23rd. 

Rants, raves, questions? I think we are going to tell siblings on Sunday. I'm nervous but know it's the right time. We also ordered the onesies we will use for our announcement in a few weeks. 

GTKY: If you could have lunch with one person, dead or alive, who would it be? My Grandma (maternal). She passed away when my mom was 11 and I never got to meet her.

@Marley629 I hope this lets up soon and you get a break from the sickness.

How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
10 + 2, paperclip!

How are you feeling?
Actually feeling pretty good! Fatigue and some GI symptoms, but really feeling like I got away with pretty mild symptoms compared to most (fingers crossed!) 

Any appointments this week? 
Not this week, next week we have a scan and OB appt. 

Rants, raves, questions? 
We had our 10week scan on Friday and decided to announce on FB. It was important for me to post that we struggled for over a year and had to do IVF, the people who posted their own stories in response were just absolutely heartwarming. It can feel really lonely to deal with infertility, but after posting I felt so supported and understood, it was really great (plus it was awesome to see our little bean dancing around in there!). 

GTKY: If you could have lunch with one person, dead or alive, who would it be? 
I would love to have lunch with my paternal great grandmother. She had an affair with someone at the world's fair in Chicago and my grandmother was the result. I would love to hear her story and what it was like to persevere through such a scandalous event back then.

@PoeMasque what a great response from your friends and family! And congrats on the great scan!
