Frequent peeing, fatigue, sore/slightly larger boobs, and crazy sciatic nerve pain in my butt. I gag a lot, but I don't really feel nauseous.
3. What are you doing this week to stay healthy?
Going to try to get on the elliptical again. I have been scared to do it, but I think it's time to try.
4. Anything exciting happening this week? Doesn't have to be baby related!
Well, today is the last day of fall break, so I guess having a 4 day work week is exciting. And exactly one week from today, I will HOPEFULLY get to hear my baby's heartbeat for the first time!
5. Fun GTKY: what is the craziest weather you have ever experienced?
Hmm. Well I live in Indiana so we see it all here...except for that nasty hurricane stuff. I have seen crazy blizzards and once I saw a very small tornado just down the street. It did a little roof damage to a couple of houses and damaged some trees. I didn't actually realize it was a tornado until later.
How fun!
1. How far along are you? 10 weeks exactly
2. Any symptoms/ how are you feeling? Inexplicable fatigue, cravings. Otherwise, doing great!

4. Anything exciting happening this week? (Doesn't have to be baby related!) Um...well, I started a new book series that I like. Does that count?
5. Fun GTKY: what is the craziest weather you have ever experienced? In college we had so much freezing rain that there was 6 inches of ice on everything. It's definitely not scrapable once it gets that thick! Lots of broken windshields that year.
1. How far along are you? 13 weeks,4 days!
2. Any symptoms/ how are you feeling? Feeling totally normal. Only symptom is gas/burping sorry
3. What are you doing this week to stay healthy? Not partaking in all the Halloween candy!
4. Anything exciting happening this week? Doesn't have to be baby related! Kinda nervous about our NT scan today, but excited to see Little Monkey again!
5. Fun GTKY: what is the craziest weather you have ever experienced?
Junior year of high school we went on a road trip to Jacksonville, Wyoming to snowboard. Took a gondola rife to the top of a mountain, got our and damn near froze to death!!! Our boogers literally froze in our noses! Super neat seeing as how we are from SoCal so not used to any weather changes :
my happy boy
1. How far along are you? 13 weeks today! Almost there!
2. Any symptoms/ how are you feeling? Very bloaty and very queasy. Especially first thing in the morning and late at night.
3. What are you doing this week to stay healthy? Ughh I want so badly to exercise but I feel so much worse every time I try. Hopefully I start feeling better soon and can get back to it. I don't think there will be much eating healthy if the power goes out this week, it may just be whatever I can "cook" without electricity!
4. Anything exciting happening this week? (Doesn't have to be baby related!) I'm supposed to have my second appointment on Tuesday but I don't know if we'll be able to or not with this storm.
5. Fun GTKY: what is the craziest weather you have ever experienced? Probably a tie between the tornado that went through our town when I was 12 and the flooding caused by Irene in my hometown last year. There are still bridges out in my hometown from that and now we're looking at more flooding!
1. How far along are you?
9w5d (I think, we'll see if my ticker verifies that)
2. Any symptoms/ how are you feeling?
I've been pretty good and can't complain. I learned very early on that if I don't get hungry I keep the nausea away. So as long as I eat something small every 2 hours or so I've been good. My biggest complaint is my boobs killing me.
3. What are you doing this week to stay healthy?
Not going out in the storm? Not buying halloween candy until probably the day of halloween so I don't eat it.
4. Anything exciting happening this week? (Doesn't have to be baby related!)
H ended up with another week off work unexpectedly because of the restrictions they are doing on base. And with schools closed I'm home for now. So basically a few more days of vacation, but stuck in the house.
5. Fun GTKY: what is the craziest weather you have ever experienced?
Lots of blizzards in Buffalo, where it would hit so hard so fast people would get stranded on the freeways.
Questions:
1. How far along are you? 10wks
2. Any symptoms/ how are you feeling? Sore boobs, occasional m/s, major fatigue. I am starting to feel normal and not in a daze.

5. Fun GTKY: what is the craziest weather you have ever experienced? Hm probably a few years ago when there was a blizzard here...work let everyone leave around 2 or 3 so they could get home safely. The hubby and I had fun with the snow outside....but I did have a friend who decided to keep working til 5 and take the bus home at his usual time...he was stuck on the bus for six hours!
1. How far along are you? 11w 5d
2. Any symptoms/ how are you feeling? m/s is starting to trail off, but I think I'm getting a cold.
3. What are you doing this week to stay healthy? Drinking lots more water and also fitting more dairy into my diet.
4. Anything exciting happening this week? (Doesn't have to be baby related!) I look forward to Halloween this week- we do cubicle trick or treating here at work. Coworkers bring in their kids all dressed up, it's the cutest!
5. Fun GTKY: what is the craziest weather you have ever experienced? April 27, 2011 - tornadoes. This was 3 days before our wedding and it destroyed our venue and made many of our vendors unavailable. But alas, everyone was safe and we still got married on April 30th, with a new venue, cake, DJ, officiant, and caterer.
1. How far along are you? 10 weeks, 5 days ?? (hopefully that's what my ticker says)
2. Any symptoms/ how are you feeling? Still throwing up daily
it's worst at night
3. What are you doing this week to stay healthy? Taking my prenatals but other than that just trying to keep anything down right now even if it's unhealthy
4. Anything exciting happening this week? (Doesn't have to be baby related!) It's DD first Halloween! I can't wait to dress her up and she can "help" hand out candy. She's going to be a zebra.
5. Fun GTKY: what is the craziest weather you have ever experienced? We had an EF3 tornado hit about 4 years ago. That was crazy since we rarely get them around here being so close to the mountains.
YES, how could I forget about the Blizzard of 1993!? It was a major deal. power was out for a long while, snow was piled up feet high, roads were impassible. Major.
Of course I was only 8, so it was like the best thing ever to be out of school and camped out by the fireplace for a couple weeks.
1. How far along are you?
13 weeks today!!!
2. Any symptoms/ how are you feeling?
I'm feeling so much better in general. Yesterday I had a headache from when I woke up to when I went to bed, but hopefully that doesn't happen too often!
3. What are you doing this week to stay healthy?
Given the weather, not much. I won't be going for walks in the pouring rain/wind, and I'm afraid to buy any healthy food that requires the refrigerator or freezer in case the power goes out.
4. Anything exciting happening this week? (Doesn't have to be baby related!)
My husband works for the power company, so he'll probably be gone a lot while dealing with any effects from Hurricane Sandy. The downside is that he won't be home, but the upshot: awesome overtime pay!!!
5. Fun GTKY: what is the craziest weather you have ever experienced?
Living in upstate NY usually means getting most of the good stuff: blizzards, ice storms, torrential downpours with associated flooding, and the occasional tornado. (To a PP - yes, it was the blizzard of 1993 that you remember. Best.blizzard.ever.) But the scariest weather experience I've had was the 1995 microburst that tore a huge swath across the state. I was in a tent in the Thousand Islands, and the microburst happened in the middle of the night. The sound was terrifying, but there was no place safe to go. When we unzipped the tent door at first light, a tree had come down on the tent next door (everyone got out right before it happened) and another came down on somebody's car. We were so lucky!!!
1. 11w4d. My "days to go" now starts with a 1!
2. Like a previous poster, I'm trying not to read anything into the lessening of nausea, boobs not as sore, that sort of thing. PgAL brain really tortures a gal!
3. Continue with healthy eating, exercise. I'm going to really focus on negative thinking/anxiety since I have more than two weeks til the next appt to put my mind at ease.
4. Hmmm. The hurricane counts as exciting, right? I'm glad that work canceled today as I have a bad cold and really appreciate an extra day at home to get better.
5. Most extreme was probably the ice storm back in college. I was home on winter break and power was out for a week. A week later, I left for a semester in Moscow, Russia and the weather was actually better there than at home!
Hope everyone has a great week!
1. 9w 5d
2. M/s finally reared its ugly head. Water is not even safe.
3. Trying to eat more fruit and less carb type snacks.
4. Halloween costume contest at work. Going as a zombie....Walking Dead style!
5. Hurricane Fran as a kid.....a tree fell on our house.
Good Morning!
