Hello pretty Monday ladies!
I don't know if we have a regular person starting this thread, and if we do, please forgive me! I'm a dingaling and have missed it the past few weeks or chimed in late, and I'm actually on the bump this morning
1. How many weeks/how big is baby today?
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far?
3. Symptoms?
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you?

Re: Monday Ticker Change 9/18
2. My favorite thing is how excited the girls are. They ask to see the Ovia app all the time so they can stare at the little yellow semi-baby looking blob. I also love the way they want to tell everyone that they are going to have a baby
3. ZZZzzzzzZZzzzz - so dang tired all the time
4. 2 types of people: Those who have a limited supply of commas to use for their entire lives and have to use them sparingly, or the people who have an abundance of commas and want to include them everywhere, all the time.
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far? Um....probably an UO but there really isn't much I like about being pregnant
3. Symptoms? Tired allllll the time, and I feel like I already have pregnancy fog.
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you? Type A or Type B. I'm most definitely a type A, I don't have a specific time I have to be at work (sometime between 6am-10am) and I still have a mini anxiety attack if I'm going to be "late" or past my regular 6:30am. Also, can't come up with a creative idea to save my life.
12 weeks! Hooray! Baby is the size of a clementine.
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far?
Ha, ummm...nothing? I guess I'm enjoying how awesome my husband has been, he regularly takes the kids out to give me time to rest. So that's nice?
3. Symptoms?
Just when the nausea had passed, the headaches started! Boo!
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you?
Dog people and non-dog people. When I come across non-dog people and they don't immediately tell me how cute/awesome/fun my dogs are, I'm all:
12 weeks, baby is the size of a plum or a minecraft pixel
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far?
uh....nothing. I'm ready to have a bump also tired of of being tired and just feeling sick.
3. Symptoms?
tired and sick. Hopefully that will end soon with the end of the 1st trimester
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you?
People with common sense and book smart people. I know some will think there isn't a difference but I have met a lot of people who are super book smart but when it comes to things that are just common sense they just don't get it.
Since there isn't a line for rants I have some rants I need to get out. DH has a little congestion going on, and he refuses to touch that DD will tough like her toys or prepare her food. Which sure that's great that he wants to try and avoid her getting sick. But I like how the few times I have been sick I still need to clean up all her toys and prepare her food. MEN!!!!!!
Also went in last week for a 1 hour glucose test, just got a call from my Dr's office and I need to come back in for the 3 hour one. I have already mentally prepared myself that i will probably have GD again but still sucks.
Also SO jealous of your 12 weekers! Feels like my pregnancy this time is going so slow.
@itsrandiyo I hate being late and that is usually 5 minutes early in everyone's book.
@kmalls your husband sounds amazing! Mine needs to take notes on that.
@Dumbgurl04 I'm sorry to hear about your glucose test.
1. How many weeks/how big is baby today? 12! The size of a plum!
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far? PGAL makes it really hard to enjoy anything. I'm currently working on it and maybe when I'm feeling better It will help.
3. Symptoms? Headaches and still being nauseated. Oh and my face won't stop breaking out. It's awful.
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you? A planner vs non planner. I love to have things planned. I am the worst person to 'fly by the seat of my pants'.
10w; a cardinal tetra fish
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far?
Thinking about making it to the second trimester lol. I have NOT enjoyed anything yet.
3. Symptoms?
Tired, random nausea, piercing boob pain that comes and goes. OUCH!!!
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you?
Oh man, hard to narrow this one down, but I'd say those who choose to let circumstances define them and those who choose to define themselves.
10 weeks today, my app says a green olive.... I feel like that is inaccurate... maybe a big green olive? lol
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far?
Like @kmalls, DH is my favorite thing. So far, 3 for 3, I check out during first trimester. I just can't function like a normal adult. Every single time DH has stepped up and takes care of everything for our life. Without him I'm pretty sure our life would fall apart...
3. Symptoms?
I'm on the first trimester upswing. Still a bit nauseous with some aversions but its definitely calmed down. Weeks 7, 8, and 9 are the hardest for me so I *think* I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you?
Those who plan... and those who don't plan. I'm a planner and plan allthethings.
DS: EDD, December 19th, 2014. Born, December 19th, 2014!
DD: EDD, July 18th, 2016. Born, July 19th, 2016!
Baby #3: EDD, April 16th, 2016
10 weeks, strawberry
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far?
Eh, hard to think of anything to be honest. Telling my family was fun because they were so excited. And I'll also give a shout out to DH, who has really stepped up to take care of DD and the house when I'm super tired and sick. He empties her diaper pail every time since it makes me gag, I'm not missing that task
3. Symptoms?
Morning sickness is letting up I think, but I'm still so dang tired all the time. Also suffering some breakouts, which happened last time until half way through the second tri, boo.
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you?
People who are mostly on time to things, and people who are ALWAYS late.
Also, lately it seems like there are people who watch Game of Thrones and people who don't. I don't, and it seems like I'm on an island of one
1. How many weeks/how big is baby today?
10 weeks! About the size of a kumquat.
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far?
Sharing our news with a few friends and family members so far...still haven't told our parents yet!!
3. Symptoms?
I've been lucky that my symptoms haven't been too bad. The worst has been mood swings and irritability...poor SO! Looking forward to when that calms down.
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you?
On a serious note: there are haves and there are have nots (money, privilege, power). There are also mayonnaise people and Miracle Whip people. I'm strictly mayo!
10 weeks! Baby is the size of a strawberry
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far?
Having a legitimate excuse to take daily naps.
3. Symptoms?
Exhausted all the time. Nausea has finally lightened up but still shows it's ugly head occasionally. Heartburn. Nipple pain which is super fun while breastfeeding DS. I'm definitely a little moody too-- sorry DH. The bloat is real but I think I may see the very early beginnings of a true tiny bump there too.
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you?
Those who are nice to service staff and those who are rude. I'll never understand this but it's so a pet peeve of mine when people are short and unnecessarily rude with waiters, security guards etc. Even in high school I would take to the school security guards every morning. A simple smile and hello and thank you go a long way.
11 weeks, size of a lime/poker chip
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far?
How excited DS is. He's already bonding with baby and is very protective of him/her. I can already see he's going to be a really amazing big brother.
3. Symptoms?
Nausea only pops up once in awhile now so I feel like a whole new person. The fatigue is hanging around but I'm not as much of a zombie as I was (the first 9 or 10 weeks I felt like I had been drugged and couldn't stay awake). The linea nigra is also starting top pop out and I've got a little bump now!
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you?
Those who blame others/the universe/whatever for their circumstances and those who take responsibility for their own lives and actions.
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far?
hmmm, finding out baby's a girl! Everything else has been super rough.
3. Symptoms?
Started with a cough at 4w1d and that sucker has stuck around. The nausea has let up maybe a little. And the exhaustion is the most evident
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you?
Like others have mentioned, early people and late people...and I'm almost always the late person, like no matter what I do, it just happens. Ha! I'm late to this ticker thread as it's my first time posting in it. @mountainsmama I also don't watch Game of Thrones!

IUI #5 w/ Tamoxifen+Ovidrel+Acupuncture Oct 24, 2014-->BFP!!! EDD July 17, 2015. Panorama=low risk...and it's a GIRL!
DD born July 10, 2015
--------------------------------------------------------
Trying for baby #2!
IUI #1 w/ Tamoxifen+Ovidrel+Acupuncture July 10, 2017-->BFP!!! EDD Apr 2, 2018. Panorama=low risk...and another GIRL!
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far? I would say napping but I feel like all I did was sleep all weekend and I would have liked to have done a bit more. I think just telling people has been exciting.
3. Symptoms?
Is feeling like a pile of garbage a symptom? I have just felt chronicly hung over without the vomiting. Also super tired obviously.
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you?
Trump supporters and non Trump supporters. lol
@kmallsI'm one of those non-dog people but I still find dogs cute from time to time. They just have to be real cute. lol
@Dumbgurl04 I completely agree that there is a different bewteen being book smart and street smart. I had a roommate in college that was very booksmart but she was a complete idiot otherwise. Didn't know how to write a check, pump her own gas, do her own laundry, ect. I thought she was playing dumb a lot of the time and then learned it wasn't an act.
I'm a planner and always early or at least on time for everything but this is for the late arrivers:
- Finally 10 weeks! Not a clue.... probably between a raspberry and an apple? I only know that when I see other people post. Second time around for me and I've totally dropped the ball on things like knowing the size of my babes like I did the first time around.
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far?
- Eating whatever I want without feeling bad about it.
3. Symptoms?
- None. Which scares me more than anything.
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you?
- People who see the best in the world and people who see the worst.
@Dumbgurl04 Sorry to hear you have to go back for another glucose test.. I'm sure one test is difficult enough. Hoping you have favorable results from the test!
@amandalb12 I understand your concern about having no symptoms.. hopefully you are one of the lucky ones and everything is okay. I just wanted to reassure you that I'm in the same boat because my symptoms have let up fairly significantly the last week or two. I went in for my first U/S on Sept. 8th (this was after my symptoms started decreasing), and baby looked great.
1. How many weeks/how big is baby today? 9 weeks. A cherry!
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far? I've really enjoyed telling our friends and family about the baby. It's exciting sharing a surprise with others. I've also loved being comfortable with my changing body.. I feel like I was always self conscious about my body (particularly my stomach), and it's freeing being able to not hide/suck things in.
3. Symptoms? I've been feeling better the few weeks, and I am grateful for that! I'm more fatigued and less motivated but that could just be the phase of life I'm in too. My husband and I walked quite a lot yesterday, and it flared up my chronic back & hip pain. Hoping it goes away soon because I hardly slept because of it.
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you? Like others said.. Late and early people. I am definitely more type A and start to worry if I'm not 10-15 minutes early for class, clinicals, appointments, etc. I am sure I'll become more lax when baby arrives, which is probably a good thing.
@JJMNO1616 also yes. Ugh, so much yes.
1. How many weeks/how big is baby today? 9 weeks, cherry!
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far? not much...this one has been a lot worse than my first. But it is making me savor moments alone with DS more and more because I know they are fleeting!
3. Symptoms? headaches, RLP, general stomach upset but no vomiting thank goodness
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you? people who can only have the volume on an even numbers, and MONSTERS who just leave it on any number willy nilly.
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far?
Finding out about twins and seeing MH's tears.
3. Symptoms?
Garbage nausea and headaches started this weekend... not to mention the SCHs.
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you?
I feel like there are people who are caring and considerate and then there are those that aren't... maybe too much pride?? Working in healthcare, I see it a lot.
also, super jealous of you ladies who have made it to 12 weeks... ahhrgh!

@Dumbgurl04 - good luck with the 3 hours test - sounds awful!
@ladythrice & @kmalls - MH is also really stepping up his game around the house. He is a FTD and it's amazing to see his excitement and wonder.
Sorry I'm a day late!
1. How many weeks/how big is baby today?
11 weeks Monday. Each is as big as a lime (gotta be Key Lime, as most limes I see are bigger than 1.61")
2. Favorite thing about your pregnancy so far?
Knowing that we'll have two little ones next spring
3. Symptoms?
UGH! MS (all day), fatigue, random diarrhea once every few weeks, not sleeping well, boobs always sore, skin still broken out, peeing all. the. time.
4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you?
This question actually kept me up last night lol! I think most people are somewhere on the continuum in any position/opinion/belief. But the continuum I think has influenced me most has people who realize how short and precious life is on one end and people who think life is about "things" on the other. I try to be aware of the struggles those around me are facing and help people see the good in the world around us; I have also walked away from some relationships where I finally saw that the other person was a self-absorbed POS worrying about "what" they were filling their lives with instead of "who".
@sarelizr congratulations on TWINS!
@g_amoss sorry for keeping you up last night!!

4. There are two types of people in the world... what are the two types according to you?
People that are positive and those that are negative.
