This is a weekly check in for people who are 11 weeks along this week.  
The bump says baby is the size of a key lime!  Do you have other "sizes" for baby other than the bump fruits?  Share here.

What symptoms are you having?

Rants/Raves:

Any questions this week?

GTKY:  Have you ever met a celebrity?

I turn 11 weeks tomorrow, so I assume I can join this one? Or am I supposed to be in the 10 week since technically I'm still 10w6d? Not sure how this is supposed to work!

What symptoms are you having?

I have pretty steady nausea all day, although I started taking Diclectin a couple weeks ago which I think is definitely helping. I am also just so so so tired which sadly Diclectin definitely does not help.

Rants/Raves:  I really hate the way the Bump app counts days of pregnancy. No I am not "10 weeks 7 days". That would be 11 weeks. I had to turn off the notifications because it bugged me too much.

Any questions this week?

How do I know when I'm actually starting to show vs just bloated and fat? :P My pants have been really tight for a while now due to bloating but now it's to the point where they won't even do up. I know it's kind of an irrelevant distinction but I'm curious.

GTKY:  Have you ever met a celebrity? 

Not really unless you count like, crappy local celebrities. I met one of those in a bar and he took my glasses off my face and said I shouldn't wear them because I have pretty eyes. Thanks for the backhanded compliment asshole but I'll wear what I like!

@thunderberry I'm also 10+6 but I did 10.  I don't think it really matters, just do whichever you want   Or whichever one has the better GTKY LOL  Also that guy sounds like a dick.

What symptoms are you having? I really only have food aversions at this point. Yesterday was a bad day, but I'm going to pretend that was a one-off. 

Rants/Raves: I lost 3 lbs around week 6/7 when I had extreme nausea (no big deal), but now it seems I've lost another 3-4 lbs since then. Kind of concerned, but I guess I'll check with my doctor in two weeks. I just have so many food aversions, I never want to eat anything. 

Any questions this week? I don't think so. My NT scan is next Monday and I am anxious to have that behind me. I hope everything goes well. 

GTKY:  Have you ever met a celebrity? Since I lived in NYC for 10 years, I have met or seen a few celebs out and about. The closest interaction I had was when I was in college and went clubbing (ha the good old days) with my friend who knew a promoter. She got us to the VIP section and we sat at a table drinking with Janice Dickinson. Photo evidence below. My friend also danced with Ricky Martin a different night at that club. I missed him though.  

**Edited to put photo in a spoiler. Didn't realize that was a thing! I'm such a newbie

I saw somewhere that at 11 weeks baby is the size of a ping pong ball.

What symptoms are you having? Round Ligament Pain, some heartburn, food aversions, headaches

Rants/Raves: I'm trying to cut out TV cold turkey for my 16 month old. It hasn't been easy because it's so convenient to put in a Disney movie or Sesame Street and be able to get things done around the house, but without it I have to constantly entertain and keep him from climbing the couch and jumping off. Ugh.

Any questions this week? Nope.

GTKY:  Have you ever met a celebrity? Not met, but I was in Niagara one time and they were shooting a film with James Franco and I got a pic of him riding a blue horse.that was cool.

Moving to 12 weeks because numbers are hard

What symptoms are you having?  None

Rants/Raves: I'm in a shitty mood right now and I have been for a few days.

Any questions this week?  Nope

GTKY:  Have you ever met a celebrity?  I don't think so.

I go here! 
What symptoms are you having? None really. I have pneumonia so I was chalking some of those symptoms up to pregnancy (shortness of breath, exhaustion, etc) but probably more so related to the pneumonia. 

Rants/Raves: just so happy to have caught up to 11w1d. Last scan I was showing 2 weeks behind so it's been a stressful few weeks while I waited for this mornings scan. 

Any questions this week? Not really

GTKY:  Have you ever met a celebrity? Not in the true sense of the word. I have a few friends that are 'celebrities' in the poker and MTG world...

I'll chill here for now! I'm 11+2 today, but my due date may or may not move upwards as much as 5 days, so we'll see in 2 weeks at my appointment

What symptoms are you having? Fatigue until about 2 am, then insomnia. Nausea is fading, but bloat still makes it hard to eat much after 6 pm.

Rants/Raves: I'm trying to hold out until November to break out the maternity clothes, but I washed up my box from last time this weekend and man they were inviting this morning. Sticking with the Bella Band for now

Any questions this week? Nope, just wish someone code convince my doctor's office that another 2 weeks is a ridiculous wait for my first real OB appointment, especially since it's already been 4 weeks since my intake with the nurse

GTKY:  Have you ever met a celebrity? I don't know that I've ever spoken with one/been introduced to one. There are probably some that I've been fairly close to while working at our college concerts. I will say, funny story, that I worked at Target in high school/college and one Tuesday night I was working the Guest Service counter when two of my fellow college teammates came running up and asking if I saw who just came through the door. The answer was no, and then they flipped out telling me that it was Ron Jeremy! My blank stare left them explaining his pedigree and then stalking his purchases from my counter. It was... weird

What symptoms are you having?  Nausea is gone most of the day, but got sick Friday and today. Hoping it goes away soon!

Rants/Raves:  I have lost a pound since my initial appointment! Having some extra fluff, I am excited about this lol. Hopefully I can either stay the same or lose a little bit more before baby starts taking over my weight!

Any questions this week?  Not this week

GTKY:  Have you ever met a celebrity?  Yes! Viktor from Dance Moms Miami! I saw him in an airport. Got his autograph and picture!

 ovia says baby is size of brussel sprout.

What symptoms are you having? All the nausea, vomiting, fatigue, food aversions, bloat....been the same since week 6. Lost 15 lbs in 3 weeks. For those of you worried about losing weight, dr said its not a huge concern unless you are losing closeto 10% starting body weight. I lost 8%, dr gave me prescription and it helped a little. Now im only down ten lbs.

Rants/Raves: so close to so called magical second tri! Time will tell if its as great as everyone says it is. I miss eating veggies and meat.

Any questions this week? Nope

GTKY:  Have you ever met a celebrity? 
If you follow hockey you might know them, but we hung out with Joe Thornton, Jason demers, and jeremy roenik in vegas for my bachelorette 5 yrs ago. used to see chuck liddel a lot in college (he lived in my college town). Oh and usher gaves us the thumbs up at coachella because we had a nick cage cut out that was pretty hilarious. He liked it. Man i was a lot more fun 5+ years ago

I'm 10+5 today. I do the animals on Ovia. I think it was a minnow...

What symptoms are you having?
My nausea is super slowly going away. It's taking it's dear sweet time though. Still exhausted and out of breath.

Rants/Raves: I bought a crib! Maybe early but meh.

Any questions this week?
I'm going to be doing the genetic testing that they draw your blood for. Is that the cell free DNA test? I was wondering if anyone knew if you can find out the sex from that? Obviously not that point, but if so, that's a plus.

GTKY:  Have you ever met a celebrity?
No, but I was on a plane to London with Puddle of Mudd once. They were riding in coach so I thought that was interesting.

I saw something that said baby is the size of a spoon of peanut butter! I'm 11 weeks and 2 days

What symptoms are you having? All the fun stuff that comes with HG. Also sore breasts and round ligament pain. 

Rants/Raves: I'm tired of feeling like crap! If this doesn't go away by Thanksgiving I'm gonna be so sad! 

Any questions this week? Nope

GTKY:  Have you ever met a celebrity? I checked in Elvis Costello for his flight when I worked for United Airlines.

I am 11+2 today!

I have the usual suspect symptoms. Tons of acne on my forehead, ugh! Larger boobs. Bloat. Fatigue.

I've met a few celebs... one "housewife of ____" (Bravo reality show) had the seat next to me on a plane flight. That was really weird.

zaclina

@charlestonchew I had the genetic testing today and yes, it will let you know if Xs or Ys are floating around in your blood.  

What symptoms are you having?  Nausea is lessening but still there especially in the PM, not as tired but in no way energetic, yes to getting out of breath. 

Rants/Raves:  2nd appt and doc heard a strong heartbeat but all I really heard was me.  But baby has a strong 

Any questions this week?  Nope

GTKY:  Have you ever met a celebrity?  Dave Foley (Newsradio) after his wife's theater show.  We actually chatted about baby names.

jessnoel89

@helloworld9 we have the same due date! ❤️

11+1 here!

Nausea finally going away but still very tired and sometimes light headed. 

Tired of flip flopping between freaking out that I’m going to gain a ton of weight and that it is natural and to do just do my best. That’s what happens when you don’t lose the last ten pounds of weight after baby 1. Oops!

no questions- just ready for the 12 week scan!

When I was in 8th grade, I won a contest to meet a Christian boy band and go on vacation with them to Hawaii. They were HUGE celebrities in my eyes. Apparently I used all my sweepstakes luck AND celebrity encounters up at 14

What symptoms are you having?
Mostly fatigue and breast tenderness with occasional nausea. 

Rants/Raves:
Nope.

Any questions this week?
Nope. 

GTKY:  Have you ever met a celebrity? 
Yes, especially when I lived in Southern California. I think my favorite encounter was when I literally walked into Travis Barker from Blink 182 during the height of their popularity. We were both shopping in an extremely crowded mall around Christmas (early 2000's). After walking directly into him, I looked up and recognized him (never a fan, but they were popular). He then looked incredibly panicked that I would out them in the crowded mall (he was wearing a hoodie - the other two members were also there). I never said anything, but I thought the encounter was pretty funny. I'm such a klutz. 

curleemama32

@lginnan What was the band name (I grew up listening to popular Christian music so I'm curious
edited because words are hard and I accidentally asked the wrong person before. I'm all sorts of dumb today!

Mostly fatigue, breast tenderness, and food adversions to odd things. Someone at work was eating those strawberry wafer cookies and I legit almost puked from the smell.

None at the moment

Any questions this week?
Nope...

GTKY:  Have you ever met a celebrity? 
Nope!  

My response is so boring! Hah. I suppose at the moment, boring and uneventful is not a bad thing.

lginnan
