Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: team green!
Baby is the size of a(n): brussel sprout
Upcoming appointments: ultrasound and bloodwork on 11/26
How are you feeling? Surprisingly good! The nausea hasn't been bad, knock on wood. I kinda feel the energy coming back, I can see the light at the end of the first trimester tunnel!
Raves/Rants: rave: thank goodness for dopplers! I finally heard the heartbeat yesterday!! Such a relief!
Questions: none!
GTKY: What is the farthest you've been from home? I live in NJ, furthest I've ever traveled to is Hawaii.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out hopefully in about 2-3 weeks!
Baby is the size of a(n): almost a kumquat
Upcoming appointments: 11/20 - not sure if it’s just a regular ob visit or if they will do the NIPT then.. really hope so!
How are you feeling? Tired but generally still good, I don’t seem to get morning sickness in my pregnancies at least and have lucked out with no headaches - my first I had terrible headaches!
Raves/Rants: so tired, work has been sooo busy, need a vacation. Miss a good cocktail!
Questions: anyone else announcing to family on thanksgiving?
GTKY: What is the farthest you've been from home? Live in nyc, farthest is probably Melbourne australia
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out, can't wait!
Baby is the size of a(n): Southern pecan
Upcoming appointments: Second US Nov 26. If all goes well, we'll tell our friends at our thanksgiving dinner.
How are you feeling? Mostly ok.
Raves/Rants: I just posted this in the symptoms thread, but I'm so incredibly irritable. I'm starting to hate myself a little. lol
Questions: Nope
GTKY: What is the farthest you've been from home? Hmm. My husband is from India, so I've been to India a handful of times. That's probably the farthest geographically.
EDD: June 12th so 9+6
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We'll find out
Baby is the size of a(n): I don't even know? I think I read a penny sometime in the last few days?
Upcoming appointments: Next Thursday for 11 week check-up (appointments every 2-3 weeks for high risk)
How are you feeling? Ugh. Sometimes I'm normal and I'm sometimes I can't even eat. I just want to eat food and have it taste good without feeling bad afterwards. I can sometimes get things down but then I regret it. Pills are consistently the hardest-retched three times trying to get my b6 down this morning. Almost to that second trimester promised land.
Raves/Rants: I've been hiding from some of my friends lately so as not to tell them too early. I feel bad that they think I'm ghosting them but with the nausea I just really can't hide it. I'm hoping all will be forgiven when they know. I didn't have bad morning sickness with my first so this is new.
Questions:
@maryanne2019 We will probably tell some of the extended family then. Mostly the ones we're close to. I'm sure my mother will take care of any of the others after that once I give her permission.
GTKY: What is the farthest you've been from home? Geographically I'm not sure? we got awesome cheap tickets one year to Paris/London which is pretty cool since we live in small town midwest. My family used to take crazy road trips growing up though, those felt farther because we'd drive up to 24 hours away from home. We did Glacier National Park and parts of Canada. We drove to San Fransisco and Yosemite one year. We did Texas several times and the East Coast a few times too. I loved road trips growing up by I admire my parents even more for doing it with little kids now that I'm a parent too.

Upcoming appointments:
ultrasound on Tuesday. In Canada or at least the part I am from, we only get two. One between 9-14 weeks and the anatomy scan later on.
How are you feeling? On and off nauseas but mostly controlled. I started on the diclectin at 5 weeks and so far have not thrown up. But feel waves of sick with smells and even thoughts of potential smells.
Raves/Rants: not really a rant or a rave but going to set up my Christmas tree today. Now that remembrance day and thanksgiving are over free game over here. I also am doing it so we can take a pic for our Christmas card and I can get them mailed out early December.
Questions: none!
GTKY: What is the farthest you've been from home? Italy (Florence Venice and Rome 🤗 )
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: definitely finding out!
Baby is the size of a(n): a prune
Upcoming appointments: My next unltrasound is the 27th
How are you feeling? Honestly, better than I expected. Starting to get my energy back and no nausea so far.
Raves/Rants: I miss coffee and am craving only the things I can't eat.
Questions: Is it common to be 10 weeks and have no symptoms, or should I be worried?
GTKY: What is the farthest you've been from home? I live in FL so the farthest I've been is probably NY.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team finding out - within the next 2 weeks
Baby is the size of a(n): LEGO man
Upcoming appointments: NIPT bloodwork today - should get screening results and gender in 1-2 weeks! NT scan on 11/25.
How are you feeling? Pretty good! Waking up less to pee in the middle of the night which is great. Nausea comes and goes but is overall manageable.
Raves/Rants: So looking forward to some time off around Thanksgiving, but I have so much work to do before then and it's making me anxious. Oh, and rave! A Pea in the Pod is going out of business near me and I got a ton of maternity clothes for super cheap!
Questions: None.
GTKY: What is the farthest you've been from home? I went to Bali on a solo trip a few years ago. This past summer I brought my toddler to Alaska.
@lwhrmomma I'm from NJ, too!
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out, can’t wait
Upcoming appointments: Dec 3
Baby is the size of a: chocolate truffle
How are you feeling?: exhausted, lots of heartburn and can’t breathe through my nose
Raves/Rants: I’m a nurse on a busy floor and these twelve hour days are brutal lately. Right now I’m on day 3 of 4 in a row and I just want to sleep.
Questions: none
Furthest from home I’ve ever been: I’m from Maryland and I went to Seattle years back when I was young and had extra money lol
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): tea light I think
Upcoming appointments: 1st US on 9/22 and it’s ALL I THINK ABOUT
How are you feeling? well, I have some nasty cold resembling strep (negative test), I’ve been nauseous and throwing up often, and DH and I are on a road trip far from home .... so it’s been better
Raves/Rants: My husband has been active duty military and gone since mid September but I’m with him now and so excited about that 🙏🙏
GTKY: What is the farthest you've been from home? DH and I live on the road pretty often, we lived in India for a while first half of this year, in our exact opposite time zone so that must be farthest 🤷♀️ But we have been to most continents and have about a road trip a month. FX that baby is a good traveler.
On a happy note we did get to use the Doppler and hear the heart beat for the first time! It was at 170!
Next appt is December 16th just for a check up!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding Out! Hopefully in the next week or so during the Genetic Testing
Baby is the size of a(n): Strawberry
Upcoming appointments: Nov 21 (tomorrow) - Routine appointment (Blood work for genetic testing). 12 week ultrasound on December 4.
How are you feeling? A lot of different things! Physically, I'm doing better, but so tired. I can't shake it! I usually eat really healthy and I have a hard time stomaching healthy foods.
Raves/Rants: I want beer, cured meats and sushi!
Questions: So many questions. I've been questioning the genetic testing. Should we? shouldn't we? Are we prepared for any possible results? Since I haven't really been having a lot of symptoms, I have been questioning whether "Poppy" is doing well in there. You could say that I'm pretty anxious for the next Ultrasound on December 4th to make sure babe is still growing.
GTKY: What is the farthest you've been from home? Not very far! I can't handle long plane rides. England is the furthest.
EDD: June 12
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We're considering being green for the first time! (This is baby #3)
Baby is the size of a(n): umm.. the last app said tootsie pop I think?
Upcoming appointments: nothing until Dec 9th
How are you feeling?: better! I've been so drained and queasy for the last several weeks, but over the last couple of days I feel like I've had more energy and I've only been queasy when I'm hungry. Also haven't thrown up in a few days! Happy to be headed out of the 1st trimester.
Raves/Rants: I've been frustrated with the all-consuming exhaustion. As well as the conundrum of "nauseous because I'm hungry, can't eat because I'm nauseous". However, that seems to be getting better!
Questions: none
GTKY: What is the farthest you've been from home?: I think Guatemala was the farthest!
This is absolutely an individual choice and people have lots of really good reasons to do it!
