Re: Monday Ticker Change 06/05
those of you that have sn's that are similar to 10 others for the first three to six characters, no time like the present to tweak it to make tagging easier for us lazy people
How far along are you? How big is baby? 14 weeks, peach
How are you feeling? about the same. nausea is worst in evenings, still going to bed super duper early
Do you know the sex yet? no, won't find out til a/s in july
Have you announced? eh, sort of. work knows. immediate fam knows. have not announced to wider circle.
Upcoming appointments? next week with my OB, should be a standard quick check-in. my second appt was at 11+2 and i scheduled the next few at +4w each so it'll be off a week from the "normal" 8-12-16-20 schedule.
Rants/raves/questions? just feeling sort of MONDAY right now. i have a lot of work on my plate and zero motivation to do it, which isn't going to make the rest of the week easier. i am TIRED of feeling first-tri pregnant. second tri is HERE - NEWS FLASH. GET WITH IT BODY.
GTKY: What's your favorite hobby? reading, exercising, being outdoors. whilst not pregnant, it is playing as much soccer as humanly possible.
fun fact, i collect smashed pennies. it's actually a pretty fun, and affordable, thing to collect.

13 weeks, lemon!
How are you feeling?
good--still with the sore breasts and lots of peeing. some random heartburn.
Do you know the sex yet?
yes--highly likely girl according to harmony results!
Have you announced?
to close family, one friend, and about to tell my boss in a half hour!
Upcoming appointments?
6/16
Rants/raves/questions?
DD (age 2) had a fever yesterday which kind of sucked.
GTKY: What's your favorite hobby?
sewing clothes! I'm addicted. I have a bunch of stretchy knit fabric to make maternity clothes.
14 weeks! Pip is a sweet little peach.
How are you feeling?
Tired and nauseated. Most of my trouble is early morning and again in the evenings. I'm with you @anewadventure when does the second trimester symptom break start?
Do you know the sex yet?
Nope. My mummy intuition says baby girl right now.
Have you announced?
We pretty much had to. I was so sick I knew people would either catch on or worry there was something wrong.
Upcoming appointments?
My dr wanted to check up on me after my scary bleeding situation so I get to see baby again on Friday.
Rants/raves/questions?
I am starving all the time but I'm soooo sick all the time too. Also does anyone else worry about how often the vitamins end up in the toilets?
GTKY: What's your favorite hobby?
reading, fishing, antiquiting, collecting oddities and books, currently my hobbies are sleeping and researching baby stuff.
14 weeks, Baby's a peach!
How are you feeling?
Feeling pretty good. No nausea, a little fatigue, and as of this morning I've got some pretty serious intermittent lower back pain.
Do you know the sex yet?
Nope, probably won't find out till the a/s.
Have you announced?
I announced to my mom at 9 weeks, to my boss/coworkers at 12 weeks (since another of my coworkers is also PG--whoops!--I had to make sure they were making plans to cover for both of us), and grandparents at 13 weeks. I'd honestly love to have kept it a secret for a lot longer, but at this point my mom has taken it upon herself to announce to extended family/friends/anyone she happens to bump into. Probably won't do a Facebook announcement.
Upcoming appointments?
6/15, regular check-in with NP (hopefully I get to hear the heartbeat again!!)
Rants/raves/questions?
These days I get super hungry before meals, but then I get full way too fast. By the time I eat half a sandwich, I'm uncomfortably full to the point of wanting to vomit. Makes meal-planning pretty challenging, and my poor husband is gaining all my pregnancy weight just from eating my leftovers.
GTKY: What's your favorite hobby?
I took up knitting to cope with our infertility issues, but my desire to knit has completely dropped off since I got my BFP.
[Edited because way too many exclamation points.]
TTC #1 since 12/2015
BFP 4/4/17, EDD 12/4/17
Met: September 2005 Married: October 2008 DS: 09/2014
How are you feeling? still rough. the nausea, dry heaves food aversions and fatigue are way worse with this singleton pregnancy than my twins. I've been trying to "gut it out" (sorry can't help myself!) but am giving in and trying unisom and vit B6.
Do you know the sex yet? nope and we're team green
Have you announced? yes, the only person who doesn't know is my mom... I am not sure if we will do a formal facebook thing or not. As someone who has dealt with IF seeing FB or other social media announcements can be rough.
Upcoming appointments? midwife on friday and hopefully I will get my NT scan scheduled ASAP.
Rants/raves/questions? DH has been a trouper wrangling the twins when all I can do is lie down on the couch or am dry heaving.
GTKY: What's your favorite hobby? mmm I used to love sailing but have not been in a while. I like knitting but go in fits and spurts (and nothing fancy, just blankets or scarves), I love to read for pleasure.
@anewadventure thanks for the tag! I'm bad about the spreadsheet stuff. I hope your body gets the 2nd trimester message soon!
@brittabatwhite I'm with you mornings and evenings are rough!
Diagnosed : unexplained infertility
6 rounds of IUI and a MC 2/2014, rainbow twins 4/2015

Edited - bump ate my reply
How far along are you? How big is baby? 13 weeks, baby is the size of a lemon
How are you feeling? No complaints!
Do you know the sex yet? The tech at my 12 week ultrasound guessed boy. We shall see!
Have you announced? To immediate family, my best friend, and my boss. We are announcing to extended family and close friends next weekend on a visit home.
Upcoming appointments? Not until the end of the month.
Rants/raves/questions? I'm in Salt Lake City for work and it's gorgeous! Heading with some colleagues to watch the Penguins game soon and hoping for a win!
GTKY: What's your favorite hobby? Traveling (when money and time permit), watching Pittsburgh sports, Reading, baking and cooking, and snuggling with my dog. So glad that summer vacation is almost here and that I'll have more time for all of the above!

Planning to try for our rainbow 01/2020
I am 13 weeks and 3 days, baby is a peach
How are you feeling?
SooooOOo sleepy! I've heard this will subside in the 2nd trimester so - bring it on!
Do you know the sex yet?
Nope! We're #TeamGreen, it'll be the best surprise ever!
Have you announced?
Just to people who I've had to tell lol, my mom, my sister (who is also pregnant) - my supervisor because she
insisted I tell her why I was scouring the break room for DECAF coffee..
Upcoming appointments?
June 19th! In another month I will get to hear the heartbeat via fetoscope
Rants/raves/questions?
This is my third and I feel like I'm in a great head space in my life and the healthiest I've ever been, I'm so excited and so is my little family. This is awesome :') Unexpected, but awesome!
GTKY: What's your favorite hobby?
I actually just launched a mobile bakery! It's a lot of work, and I still have a lot of work to do, but I know it'll
provide security in these most uncertain times. So, with the bakery adventure, my full time job, this pregnancy and my two kids, aaand DSO - it's going to be quite a journey!

How are you feeling? I'm still getting nauseous nightly... and am hoping to turn the corner on the fatigue soon, too!
Do you know the sex yet? We arent finding out!! DH is on board with team green, finally!
Have you announced? We've told our families, so far!
Upcoming appointments? I see the Dr on thursday... we rotate through the Dr's in the group
Rants/raves/questions? Any STMs out there have the MS throughout their entire pregnancy?!? I don't know if I will be able to handle that!!
GTKY: What's your favorite hobby? My favorite thing to do is read!!
How are you feeling? Pretty good overall! Yay for second trimester!
Do you know the sex yet? No I have a feeling we're going to have to wait until 20 weeks
Have you announced? Yes we announced at 12, weeks
Upcoming appointments? June 21st just for a check up. I think I'm supposed to do an early glucose at 16 weeks because of my insulin resistance but I haven't heard anything about it since my first appointment.
Rants/raves/questions? Since my first appointment my OB appointments haven't gone as I'd like them to and I feel like things are just getting looked over. I really don't want to switch OB offices but I'm not sure how to address it.
GTKY: What's your favorite hobby? I like to go to the movies and read or listen to podcasts
As far as the mobile bakery goes, I take orders online ( via social media usually), or by phone/email and delivery locally in my town and surrounding areas
How are you feeling? Could be worse. I need to focus more on the positive! Typical symptoms - nausea, gagging at smells, constipation, fatigue, getting up to pee around 4-6 am every night. I can tell things are getting better, but I still have some bad days. I'm lucky it hasn't prevented me from working full time or anything like that.
Do you know the sex yet? Nope, but I was trying to zoom in on my sonogram from this week in hopes of finding out
Have you announced? Only to my family, not his. My mom has a great memory for all 4 of her pregnancies, so it has been fun to talk to her the last 2 days since she found out. We have not told any friends yet. Father's Day weekend we will share with his family, and then everyone else we feel like telling. I have to reapply for my job in August...I wonder if I can wait to tell coworkers until after that? It feels strange to tell them right before I reapply for my job. Derp derp. Not good timing, but they are like the most family friendly group ever, so I don't know why Im worried.
Upcoming appointments? Not for a couple weeks, right before we go to California!!! I just found out that my brother will also be in Cali at the same time and we are going to meet up for a day or so. We all live very far away from one another, so this is super exciting news for me.
GTKY: What's your favorite hobby? Bicycle rides and frisbee. We try to ride and play in a field or at a disc golf course a couple times per week. I will probably miss doing that after baby is born, but our neighbors play with their daughter all the time, and it's very cute. I look forward to that with our little one.
How far along are you? How big is baby?
I'm 14 weeks
How are you feeling?
Eh, tired and sick and busy. Just really busy
Do you know the sex yet?
Nope we have an elective ultrasound place here called MyLittleMe that we went to for both the boys around 16 weeks and I think we'll be doing it again to find out what this baby is! They record the heartbeat as well and put the recording in a stuffed animal. I have one for each baby so far and it's nice to hear their heartbeats every once in awhile.
Have you announced?
Yep
Upcoming appointments?
Had mine on Monday
Rants/raves/questions?
We finally heard the heartbeat after the midwife searched for 10min. 155bpm and strong
GTKY: What's your favorite hobby?
I knit and read, draw, write and chase toddlers (is that a hobby?) I also nap. Napping is my favorite hobby at the moment.
