@missy052819 I have been more thirsty at night. I remember it getting really bad when I was pregnant before. I had to keep water next to the bed all the time!
Due date/W+D: May 28/6w6
Baby is the size of a(n): Honey bee
Any appointments? Questions?: Still none. 22 days before my first appointment. I'm not counting down or anything
Rants/Raves?: So far morning sickness and exhaustion are kicking my butt, but my husband is being incredibly supportive. I am kinda concerned we might be having twins. (They run in my family.) And he is being incredibly helpful. Don't get me wrong. I would feel blessed if we had twins, but I feel like that is a lot to start with and I'm ill prepared.
How are you feeling?: See above. Death.
GTKY - What is your favorite thing about fall (examples: pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin picking)? I love seasons in general. I am looking forward to the weather finally cooling down so I can wear sweaters and cozy clothes. I do agree with you @wishIwaspreggo that I hate the darker days. I wish the seasons would change without the light changing.
Baby is the size of a(n): Err...not sure. Can’t see my ticker on mobile 😂 raspberry maybe?
Any appointments? Questions?: Not til 10/16
Rants/Raves?: I have a horrid migraine
How are you feeling?: Very nauseous but I think due to the above migraine
GTKY - What is your favorite thing about fall (examples: pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin picking)? The WEATHER. It’s like a sigh of relief to walk outside and not melt into a puddle in the heat! And the outfits. I love fall fashion.
Baby is the size of a: chocolate chip
Any appointments? Questions?: GP appt oct 23, US oct 26.
Rants/Raves?: I keep waking up at or before 5am and cant fall back to sleep. Nausea is starting to pick up. There go my dreams of being a pregnancy unicorn!
How are you feeling?: starting to feel crappy. Nausea. General food aversion. Thirsty AF. Boobs are sore, and bigger (this is not a welcome side effect- they were big enough to begin with).
GTKY - the Fall colours and cold air.
Due date/W+D: 6w 5d
Baby is the size of a(n): Maine blueberry
Any appointments? Questions?: First appointment and U/S on Friday can't wait.
Rants/Raves?: Looking forward to Friday: Getting my hair done on after our doctors appointment and we're getting a wood stove installed.
How are you feeling?: Tired - and generally hungover (I know that's a terrible analogy) but I feel like no amount of sleep or water (or carbs) is going to make me feel better. The nausea seems to be ramping up - but not at a specific time everyday.
GTKY - What is your favorite thing about fall (examples: pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin picking)? Generally, everything but really looking forward to firing up the woodstove on the first cold night - that's if we ever have a cold night here in Maryland....
Due date/W+D: 5/26, 7w+2
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Any appointments? Questions?: I've already had my initial appt with our midwife. hCG levels look good. Confirmed pregnant several times lol
Rants/Raves?: Luckily I work part time so I can be lazy most days.
How are you feeling?: Emotional! And my boobs are verrrrrrry sore. Food aversions galore but no nausea.
GTKY - What is your favorite thing about fall (examples: pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin picking)? I live in an area where the trees are changing and it looks very beautiful. I swear this pregnancy has made colors look more vivid.
Due date/W+D: May 28. 7 weeks today
Baby is the size of a(n): berlingot candy
Any appointments? Questions?: First appt not until Nov. 1.
Rants/Raves?: I'm very blessed not to be puking, but I definitely have not been having a symptomless 1st tri. In spite of this, I keep momentarily forgetting that I'm pregnant. Like all the time. I think its a mix of not feeling pregnant yet (despite the symptoms, I mostly just feel crappy not pregnant) and just being busy with the other two and life in general. But still, it makes me feel a little guilty for this little one. In a couple months it will feel much more real.
How are you feeling?: See above. Crappy and tired, but not puking so thats a win.
GTKY - What is your favorite thing about fall (examples: pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin picking)? I love all the colours, sweaters, and all the delicious foods that come from fall (apple and squash desserts, yummy canned goods, etc)
Due date/W+D: 5/23, so 7+5
Baby is the size of a(n): uncooked macaroni
Any appointments? Questions?: Ultrasound and blood work today. Everything on target, I heard the sweet little heart beat, 156 bpm. That "means" girl, right? Lol.
Rants/Raves?: I had to tell the teacher I work with in the morning, because our class is during the peak of my morning sickness. Then the kids were even bigger a-holes than normal, so I just wanted to take a nap.
How are you feeling?: Same: tired, nauseous, and cranky.
GTKY - What is your favorite thing about fall (examples: pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin picking)? All the seasonal traditions! Apple picking, pumpkin carving, hot cider, fall baking, etc. And cider donuts!
Anyhow....
Due date/W+D: May 25th 7w +3d
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Any appointments? Questions?: I have one on Monday. I'm anxiously waiting to hear results from my thyroid ultrasound and labwork.
Rants/Raves?: Rave for Thanksgiving leftovers! Yum!!
How are you feeling?: Not too terrible. Just quite nauseous in the evenings. It's more so my mental/emotional self that's having a hard time. I just need answers as to what's going on with my thyroid and if everything/baby will be okay
GTKY - What is your favorite thing about fall (examples: pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin picking)? Definitely pumpkin spice everything and fall scented candles.
Due date/W+D: 5/27 7 weeks 2 days
Baby is the size of a(n): altoid
Any appointments? Questions?: I did have my first appointment scheduled for tomorrow, but it has been pushed to Friday because of tropical storm Michael.
Rants/Raves?: A little bummed my appointment got pushed back, even though it was just pushed back a day haha; good thing is DH bought me chicken salad chick for lunch, and it was delicious
How are you feeling?: ehh, I’ve had really bad nausea, and some gnarly lower back pain, but I am really excited to see LO for the first time. Also, my dreams have been off the freaking chain lately.
GTKY - What is your favorite thing about fall (examples: pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin picking)? I love carving pumpkins, but I also love thanksgiving (just for the food haha)

GTKY - What is your favorite thing about fall (examples: pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin picking)? The colors!
I'm with you, @wishiwaspreggo, @imrachellea and @knarlytaurus too! so strange to be soooo far behind all of the other May ladies, but would also feel too far ahead in June. Though, after this week's visit, I'm really straddling the line between the 2 boards. We shall see.
PS - Also INCREDIBLY thirsty, day and night (especially at night...and then I have to pee...fun times)
Due date/W+D: May 27/7+4 (by LMP) vs. June 5/6+1 (by this week's US)
Baby is the size of a(n): let's go with blueberry
Any appointments? Questions?: Had my appt on Wednesday, which I've basically over-chronicled in the appts thread already. Long story short, baby's measuring super small in relation to LMP. Could be that my O date was pretty late, which is what I suspect looking at my temps chart and would correspond exactly with size on US this week. *TW below*I have another appt next week to monitor things and see if we can figure this thing out.
Rants/Raves?: Being in limbo isn't fun, but my husband has been awesome at helping me keep my mind off of things.
How are you feeling?: Fine.
GTKY - What is your favorite thing about fall (examples: pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin picking)? Apple picking and leggings!
Due date/W+D: May 23rd, 8wks 1 day
Baby is the size of a(n): Raspberry
Any appointments? Questions?: No appts scheduled yet.
Rants/Raves?: There aren't any pregnancy apps for women of color. I'm sure the community here is kind, but I'd love to see a picture of a black baby or couple when I read the articles. Or an article that discusses how high our rates are of dying in childbirth.
How are you feeling?: Today was good, I actually had an appetite.
GTKY - What is your favorite thing about fall (examples: pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin picking)? The holidays, it's a time for family gatherings and lots of comfort food. Plus I can blast Christmas music without any judgments.
