Hope no one minds I started this - I didn't see one yet

1. How many weeks along are you? How big is baby?
5 weeks - Apple seed!
2. How are you feeling lately?
Meh - crampy and bitchy. But other than that ok.
3. Any appointments coming up?
Just waiting on the MFM office to give me my insulin dosing instructions. Then I'll have an intake appointment with them and ultrasound in a few weeks
4. Rants, Raves, Questions?

5. What is your favorite season?

I love Spring - the first day that I can go out without my huge, heavy winter coat is magical.

1. How many weeks along are you? How big is baby?
7 weeks, .44 inches, equivalent to a blueberry.

2. How are you feeling lately?
Really nauseated. It hit right at 6 weeks, and hasn't let up. Any time my stomach isn't full I am on the verge of throwing up. I'm trying to do frequent meals, but I'm not used to it, and it's just making me fat. I'll have it figured out right about the time the morning sickness passes, I'd imagine. I'm hoping that it doesn't ruin my holiday plans which involve travelling cross country. I have a lot planned, and would be very disappointed to miss out.

3. Any appointments coming up?
Tomorrow morning is my dating ultrasound. If everything looks good, and we hear/see a heartbeat I plan on announcing to friends and family over the holidays, even though it's early.

4. Rants, Raves, Questions?
I gave up coffee all together. My nurse practitioner said there is no safe amount, so I'm erring on the side of caution for now, but that's over if the Dr gives me the go-ahead tomorrow. My husband is awesome. He's always good to me, but since I've fallen pregnant and ill, he's really gone above and beyond to get things done at work and around the house.

5. What is your favorite season?
I love winter in theory, but I'm always cold, so really summer is the only season I can stand weather-wise. I don't even take off my jacket unless it's over 80 outside. Even if it's over 80 I need a jacket, since most stores and restaurants refrigerate their buildings to an intolerable degree.

Thanks for starting this! DD had tubes in today so I've been too busy to get to it.

1. How many weeks along are you? How big is baby?
6 weeks!

2. How are you feeling lately?
Still feeling good, which is weirding me out. With DD I was really nauseous at this point, so I'm just trying to enjoy the lack of symptoms and not read too much into it.

3. Any appointments coming up?
Nothing til January for me.

4. Rants, Raves, Questions?
DD had tubes in today. FX they help eliminate some of her very frequent ear infections!

5. What is your favorite season?
Fall, by far. It's so beautiful in MI in the fall.

Also, sorry I should have added this before, I wonder if we should do a poll or something to address the conflicting opinions on daily vs weekly ticker changes? I noticed someone commented on it again in the board organization thread.

mrsbubbles-2

@juliebird6 a poll is a great idea! Plus I really hope your DD can avoid any more ear infections!

1. How many weeks along are you? How big is baby?
I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow - caught 'em early!

2. How are you feeling lately?
Pretty much the same. Other than some mild tiredness and nausea, not many symptoms to report. That said, I am feeling SUPER anxious about this pregnancy in general. Counting down the days to our first sono when I hope to peep a heartbeat.

3. Any appointments coming up?
Sono and genetic counseling on Jan 11. Feels like an eternity away!

4. Rants, Raves, Questions?
Question: I went in for betas on Monday at which point I was only about 4 weeks pregnant. I got my numbers back Tuesday: 998 hCG and 15.4 progesterone. The put me on prometrium but said my hCG was so high that I didn't need to come back in to checking for the doubling. Is this normal for an AMA pregnancy? Anyone else every heard this?

5. What is your favorite season?
SUMMER!!! sunshine, outdoor concerts, hikes, sunshine, travel, lake swims, sunshine...

@derbysquirrel I ALWAYS have my coat on. Sometimes I come home from work and still have it on when I go get changed for bed haha. Also, I am with you on being anti-AC. As soon as the weather is nice people crank down their thermostats to 65. UGH

1. How many weeks along are you? How big is baby? 5w2d - appleseed

2. How are you feeling lately? Fine but a constant runny nose and while I'm not nauseated, my appetite is not quite right. 

3. Any appointments coming up? I'm going in for beta #3 tomorrow bc I'm a drama queen/ worry wart.  I've noticed some brownish discharge that freaked me out a little bit and my nurse said I could come in for a blood draw to ease my concerns.  After that we have our final RE appt the first week of Jan. 

4. Rants, Raves, Questions? I am living in fear of something going wrong.  Will I ever chill out?  

5. What is your favorite season? Summer for sure but I love all the seasons.

1. How many weeks along are you? How big is baby?
7 weeks- blueberry

2. How are you feeling lately?
Like doo doo. Exhausted, nauseated and full of snot. Lovely eh?

3. Any appointments coming up?
Nothing this month

4. Rants, Raves, Questions? 
DD has all 4(top and bottom) 1st molars coming in at once, poor thing. Nothing to rave about besides I have been sleeping great at night finally. I still feel like I need multiple naps a day on top of the 10 hours of sleep I've been getting at night.

5. What is your favorite season?
Fall- I love everything about it and as @juliebird6 said MI does the season justice.

ETA- Regarding changing the tickers I voted to keep them the same. I've grown attached to my Wednesday gals already and I am a creature of habit.

I was too busy to do this yesterday but here goes. 
1. How many weeks along are you? How big is baby?
7 weeks - blueberry sized (an average blueberry I guess)

2. How are you feeling lately?
Nauseous, sooooooo neauseous

3. Any appointments coming up?
Not until January 

4. Rants, Raves, Questions?
Being in payroll, I hate holidays, I hate people complaining that I should drop everything and do something because they neglected to do their job on time because "it's Christmas". Plus being pregnant I have less than the zero patience I normally have.  

5. What is your favorite season?
Spring! I love the awakening of the flowers and trees (less in love with the pollen)

1. How many weeks along are you? How big is baby? 6. Sweet pea

2. How are you feeling lately? Pretty good. Will go a day or two with little to no symptoms then have heartburn in full force. 

3. Any appointments coming up? January 9

4. Rants, Raves, Questions? Wish I could get Q to sleep in his room again. We made it 15 months without him sleeping in my husband and I’s room let alone with us then around Thanksgiving he got sick and would only sleep with us. He now sleeps in his pack and play beside our bed. 

5. What is your favorite season?
Fall.
