slensic · December 2013

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

9 weeks, Olive

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

The same. I just feel nausea, hungry and have heartburn most of the time. I am also exhausted.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

Ok, it's been 2 weeks since my u/s and 4 until my next one and I am little freaked. I ordered a doppler though...

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

Nothing until 1/6 both my next OB and my NT are that day

Favorite moment of the week?

Spending family time over the weekend

Least favorite moment of the week?

My EDD got adjusted and I lost 2 days, it's right on with ovulation though and I felt like I was cheating a little before.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all?

Not even close, DD and DH are done but that's it. So far I haven't bought anything for myself I am trying to be good.

[Deleted User] · December 2013

Thank you @slensic!

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

7w6d. A blueberry

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

About the same. Some days I feel more nauseated than others. Hungry but nothing appeals to me except crap.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

I was doing well after my u/s last week but getting anxious again until my next u/s at the end of the month. I'd like a doppler but we're trying to save money so I don't know if I'll get one.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

Next u/s and doctor's appt is 12/30.

Favorite moment of the week?

Playing in the snow with DS yesterday. He had fun sledding even though I was wiped out in 2 seconds.

Least favorite moment of the week?

Having to send DH off on another work trip

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all?

I think I THINK I am officially done. Other than maybe one more small thing for my Dad, I can't think of anything else I need. I'm racking my brain to make sure, though.

Last week @Qfrump pointed out we don't have a badge. I would love one but am not the person to design it. Anyone interested in making one? I wish I could but as you can see from my siggy, even my Paint skills are lacking.

SuperKim13 · December 2013

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

7 weeks, 3 days/ blueberry

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

The nausea is getting worse. I feel nauseous off and on throughout most days. I'm also tired, have achy boobs. Nothing new. I just keep telling myself that the symptoms are all good signs!

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

PgAL brain is tough. I keep thinking about my loss milestone looming a couple of weeks away. Every time my symptoms calm down for a little while, I have to convince myself not to assume the worst.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

Next week I have my first appointment with my OB. I haven't seen her since the loss.

Favorite moment of the week?

Seeing our baby's heartbeat at our ultrasound last week!

Least favorite moment of the week?

DH lost his job, also last week. He is back to work on a temporary gig right now. If you can spare a thought or prayer that he gets something more steady soon, I'd appreciate it!!!

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all?
Ha! I wish, I need to buckle down and get my shopping done! I'm off to an OK start, but it's time to step it up!

Last week @Qfrump pointed out we don't have a badge. I would love one but am not the person to design it. Anyone interested in making one?

I agree, we do need a badge, I've never made one before, but I'll attempt to whip something up. I will not be offended if you tell me it's too crappy.

@SuperKim13 How did your u/s go?

The ultrasound went great! Saw a beautiful little smudge that I am told is our baby with his or her heart beating away at 129bpm!!!

SuperKim13 · December 2013

OK, my very elementary attempt at creating a badge. Feel free to give honest feedback. I will not be offended.

Saritaota614 · December 2013

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
8 weeks, raspberry
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Spotting and cramps have both gone away, thank God! Still no morning sickness. I'm mostly just tired all the time.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Ok. I think after seeing that my baby is growing well at my appointment yesterday, my PGAL brain has eased quite a bit. I'm officially more pregnant than I've ever been!

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

My next appointment is Jan, 8.
Favorite moment of the week?
Seeing my baby's heartbeat and having my DH get to experience it with me. (he wasn't in the ultrasound room at the er last week)

Least favorite moment of the week?
My granny falling and being put in the hospital. She's having heart issued and passed out at Walmart.
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all?
I've just got to purchase my BIL a gift card or something. He's not my fave person in the world, so I'm avoiding it. I've debated wrapping up a piece of dog poop for him. Hah.

slensic · December 2013

Thanks @Qfrump! This is my first check-in so I am learning a little more each week.

@SuperKim13 I love it and would love to use it!

1982Babies · December 2013

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

12 weeks, plum.

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

feeling okay

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

paranoid, especially since my appointment today got rescheduled

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

today was supposed to be my first, but was rescheduled because they put me in as a "followup OB" instead of "initial OB" (45 min appointment needed the first time. so mad).

Favorite moment of the week?

getting goods from amazon in the mail

Least favorite moment of the week?

Having my appointment moved. GRrrrr

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all? I bought myself a humidifier for the house

AmericanInOz · December 2013

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

8 weeks 4 days (according to LMP, I don't want to change the EDD unless this second scan agrees that we're 2 days behind that date). So raspberry

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

Getting better, knock on wood, the nausea seems MUCH better lately, I just have to eat regularly, but don't constantly feel sick

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Ok actually. I feel quite good and positive now that I have seen LO's heartbeat. 5 days until our next scan, then we'll tell our parents - can't WAIT - and I can't wait to see dd's face when I tell her, she'll be SO excited

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Second scan next Wed, Ob said we'd 'start planning this pregnancy if everything continues to be well at this scan' so fingers crossed! I'm glad dh can come this time too
Favorite moment of the week?

Dd asking me if I had a baby in my tummy (I'm so bloated). I said I can't tell you yet, she said well I think there is. I changed the subject, and she hasn't mentioned it since (she's 3.5). Looking forward to being able to tell her though at xmas with the IL reveal - she'll be thrilled.

Least favorite moment of the week?

Hmmm none really, it's been a great week

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all? Yes thank goodness! Shopping for adult xmas presents stresses me out, so I did it early this year. I just have to order gift baskets to be sent to some family members in the US, but I'll do that this weekend then I am DONE!!! I don't buy anything for myself, I told dh I buy for EVERYONE else on our behalf for xmas, so he's in charge of buying stocking stuffers and gifts for me!!

SherylA80 · December 2013

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

10 weeks 4 days Prune going off of U/S

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

Same symptoms but they are getting better. The nausea is getting better but when it shows up it reminds me i'm still in my first trimester and I get tired mid day.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

Brain is relaxed I hardly think what iff and never check undies at potty time anymore. I'm more confident than ever. I couldnt be happier.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

Just looking forward to fun times with family for the holidays and my next appointment January 8th.

Favorite moment of the week?

always the weekends. Saturday I'm helping my parents decorate their tree than taking my older son to a Museum to do some holiday activities. Sunday we're doing lights at the cactus garden.

Least favorite moment of the week?

just when the sickness come and I want to die form nausea. I love being pregnant but i cant wait for this part to go away.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all? Most of my shopping is done for family still not done spoiling my Son I didnt splurge on myself Ima giver.

I just want to say Happy Holidays to all, and may all your dreams come true.

~From my home yo yours. Sheryl

eortman · December 2013

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

7 wk 1 d according to LMP - blueberry

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

Better, which is totally worrying me. I know it shouldn't but I was in limbo with spotting with my last pregnancy from week 6 all the way to week 10 before we actually lost the baby, so I am totally petrified by my symptoms getting better.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Not well. I am debating calling to see if I can get an early US scheduled (my 1st appt isn't until Jan. 14th), but my husband can't go with me until at least Christmas break and I couldn't bear bad news without him, so if I do it, it still won't be for another week & 1/2. I'd be happy to accept T&P for peace of mind for me and a healthy baby.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
When I pass 10 weeks, I'll feel a little better since that's when we lost our little one. And unfortunately my 1st appt is still over a month away. Boo.

Favorite moment of the week?

Watching my kids dance at a wedding in Arizona. They had a blast!

Least favorite moment of the week?

Finding out that I am going to have to have a very difficult conversation with someone that I have a working relationship with

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all? Almost, and unless you consider buying some new maternity clothes on sale a splurge, no.

mamabc14 · December 2013

@slensic. Appt went okay so far so good thank you!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
I'm 9w2d, think that's an olive lol

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Symptoms seem non existent! Occassional headache and constant waking up to pee but other than that I'm feeling lucky. Also the pregnancy dreams are treating me horribly. Not the funny silly ones everyone is getting mine are just awful.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Pgal is being ignored big time! I'm trying to stay positive and DH has been so supportive and helpful with that.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
I've got an ultrasound appt. December 26! So I'm praying that's gonna be the positive reassurance I need to feel secure with this pregnancy.

Favorite moment of the week?
Hubby and I went out to breakfast this morning. It was nice he works a lot and we rarely get to go on dates

Least favorite moment of the week?
Being at work lol

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all? ;)
I haven't bought one Christmas present I'm honestly not in the mood. But I plan to start this upcoming week

hope1017 · December 2013

@slensic I'm doing better then the prior week since I keep seeing my belly grow so that makes me hopefully that everything is good and the baby is healthy. Thanks for asking.

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
Will be 11 weeks tomorrow. Today a prune, tomorrow a lime

.

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
No symptoms, although today I did threw up for the first time because I walked with an empty stomach in the morning

.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Still checking that TP when I go to the bathroom but I'm more relaxed now.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Yes next Friday, the 20th. I'll be getting another ultrasound

.

Favorite moment of the week?
No favorite moment

Least favorite moment of the week?
When I vomited today lol.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all?

No holiday shopping for us this year. New state, no family, so no fun lol. We are not even buying a Christmas tree this year. It'll just be my husband and I this year.

rattlecanqueen · December 2013

I tried joining lady week, but after loys of technical difficulties, I decided to try again.

I'm 7w6d last day of being a blueberry! raspberry tomorrow!

my symptoms are about the same; stereotypical pregnancy symptoms ( nausea, constipation, fatigue, moodiness, site boobies)

my pgal brain is okay considering what happened this week. I posted on pgal but not here. Tuesday (7w4d which it's when I had my mc) I started gushing red blood, and I just knew I lost the baby ( especially after cramping all weekend long). 2 ultrasound sessions determined it is a SCH. the baby's fine, and the bleed it's on the opposite side of where the placenta is attaching. so I'm on pelvic rest and no lifting. the bleeding has almost completely stopped, and only brown. so thankful and it it's truly through the grace of God that I'm not stressing about it.

my next prenatal appointment is 1/7, and I'll be 11w4 days. I just praying I don't go back before then, and I don't freak out as the date approaches.

today is our 4 year anniversary and my normally not snuggly husband came home and gave me a very long squishy hug and had some very sweet words! melted my heart.

gtky
we're almost done Christmas shopping. no money to splurge. if I have money leftover from paying my tuition next semester, I'll splurge on maternity clothes.

ashtonblair123 · December 2013

****************************************************************************************** How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
8 weeks! We've got a little raspberry now!

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Less vomiting but I am still naseous. Still super tired all the time. It's pretty rough with a toddler running around.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
I'm pretty confident most of the time. But then I think about my upcoming u/s and get terrified and panic. With my losses they happened naturally and early but I'm just terrified I had a missed miscarriage and will only get bad news.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
My U/S is on Wednesday!

Favorite moment of the week?
Probably when we went out to eat and got to chow down on some ribs. I had really been craving those ribs.

Least favorite moment of the week?
Probably telling my mom about this pregnancy. She's never very supportive and asked 8000 questions. I ended up having to tell her about my condom breaking. Not fun.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all?
I finished the shopping but the homemade stuff hasn't even been started. I'm a procrastinator. "My DH" bought me a KitchenAid stand mixer for Christmas.

shanaynerz · December 2013

Oh and just noticed you asked me how I'm doing after finding out it's twins! Well, after my u/s and seeing 2 great HBs and all, I should be happy, and I am, but so anxious b/c it's twins. Everything's different now it feels like. If it were one baby I'd be fine I think. With two, my care will be different, I don't know if I'll have a vaginal birth, or where I'll necessarily deliver. Little things really, but I'm like ahh!!

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

8w1d, a raspberry!

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

Symptoms have been up and down as usual. Nausea still kicking around, but so hungry, too! These babies take a lot out of me. Been so tired and finding it more difficult to carry and do things with DD (already!) which makes me sad.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

Been better. Still worried they (or one) won't come home with us. Seeing my GP tomorrow so really hoping she'll get me in to see my OB and an MFM ASAP. May need to see my OB first to see the MFM, but I just really want to get the ball rolling on my (our) care. I'll feel better once I know how I'll be taken care of, I think.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

Seeing my GP tomorrow, so I'm excited to get started on seeing my OB and all that. Thankful we found out there's twins this early!

Favourite moment of the week?

I guess finding out we're having twins that are both looking good and healthy!

Least favourite moment of the week?

Been pretty good, but DD being more fussy at mealtime (mostly dinner) has not been fun.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all?

Still have some gifts to buy. May go tomorrow I guess! Didn't get myself anything.

I was wondering about you while I was putting the check in together. So glad you are joining!

Mom2anAngel2 · December 2013

@slensic: Thanks for asking. Unfortunately PgAL brain has not let up. I do have some moments that I forget about it, but then go into full blown panic mode a minute later. Sorry that you lost 2 days. I am kind of surprised they changed your dates by 2 days. Usually they only change dates if it is greater than a week.

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
9 weeks, an olive

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Still no symptoms other than bloat and fatigue (but the fatigue may also be due to stress or DS not sleeping well).

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Still awful. My progesterone continues to be super low and that is completely stressing me out. I am trying to hold out until 10 weeks to use my Doppler. It is still packed away with my maternity clothes.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
I still have not called my OB for an appointment. I told myself that I would call next week (10 weeks) and that way I will get an appointment between 11 and 12 weeks.

Favorite moment of the week?
DS's first look at the Christmas tree all lit up and decorated. He woke up from his nap and just stood there staring at hit. It was really cute.

Least favorite moment of the week?
Not pregnancy related, but the COLD weather! It is in the single digits right now. Brrrrr!

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all?
Close, but not yet. I have some gift cards to get and some on-line shopping to do. I haven't gotten DS's birthday gift yet (his birthday is 10 days after Christmas).

Peglet · December 2013

Hi there! This is the first time I've seen this thread, so I'm joining. EDD is July 30 but I'll know more after my U/S on Wednesday.

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

7 weeks/blueberry

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

My nausea has gotten a lot better, although I still have some gagging and major food aversions. I'm more tired and have to pee more frequently. And my lower back has been hurting.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

I was doing just fine until my nausea got so much better all of a sudden...

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

First U/S on Wednesday...it feels like it's taking forever to get here. I'm afraid I'm going to cry on the table, I'm just so scared of having to go through what I went through last time I was in there (seeing blighted ovum)

Favorite moment of the week?

DoToday I took DD to a paint your own pottery place to make a bowl for DH for Christmas. She had a blast and it was so much fun!

Least favorite moment of the week?

D

DD has been very tantrum-y and demanding...here come the terrible twos...

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all?

Still have a few things, but I'm getting there. I bought myself a purse on Black Friday that I really love, but it was cheap.

mrsd0930 · December 2013

Thanks slensic for the check in!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
7 weeks today!! Raspberry!!

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Morning sickness started at 6 weeks. Taking Zofran when needed.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
We heard the heartbeat this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 140 bpm. The most amazing and beautiful sound I have ever heard. We didn't hear a heartbeat last time, so this is further than our first pregnancy.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Our next doctor's appointment is not until January 2nd. I need to try and relax and enjoy the holidays but I am of course anxious all over again about the next appointment.
Favorite moment of the week?
Hearing the heartbeat We also looked at baby furniture
Least favorite moment of the week?
The nausea but it's not too bad.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all?
I have barely started but will probably finish this weekend. I am "splurging" on a new roof for the house... LOL. The fun stuff you get to buy as an adult.
Last week @Qfrump pointed out we don't have a badge. I would love one but am not the person to design it. Anyone interested in making one?

I'm technology challenged!

Close, but not yet. I have some gift cards to get and some on-line shopping to do. I haven't gotten DS's birthday gift yet (his birthday is 10 days after Christmas).

I was kind of surprised too but I think since I will be having a RCS that's why she changed it even though it wasn't by very much.

My toddler telling me what I could and couldn't sing the other night. She was hilarious.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all?

I finished! Two nights ago. I didn't really buy myself much this year as compared to prior years.

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
9w6d, olive

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Symptoms are still here really sore boobs in the mornings and a really bad dry heave that scares DS

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? I thought I was doing ok, but as my appointment approaches, and I still keep seeing several losses on the board, I am getting nervous.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? I've been checking my BP every Friday at work and I am actually excited about doing that today because I think it will be 2 weeks in a row of great numbers

Favorite moment of the week?
DS's belated birthday party on Sunday, he was so excited and emotional and since it was a pizza party, it was super easy prep on my part.

Least favorite moment of the week?
The night of his birthday party, he woke up 5 times. And I remembered what I have to look forward too in a few more months. I love the night time feedings and bonding but I will miss my sleep

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all?

Just started this week and thanks to online shopping got most of it done. Nothing for myself, but did buy us a family gift that I will defintely enjoy.

@superKim13 I love the badge

@CONativegal EDD 7/22/2014

8w3d - a raspberry

Boobs are humongous and tender, waves of nausea with no vomiting, very tired

I feel good but am cautiously optimistic. I am not sure if I will really feel okay until I pass the time I had my loss the last time, which the doc estimated the babies stopped growing at 9w5d. Just trying to stay positive

I have another u/s next week and am nervous but excited. I am not exactly excited for anything, but I know I will be once we get to a point where we feel very confident

My favorite moment of the week has been the moments I feel sick, because it makes me feel like that's a good sign and we are going to do this

My least favorite moment of the week is that I have my friend's holiday party her family throws every year that is AMAZING. It happens to be the same night as my husband's office party and I can't stand half the people he works with, and we have to make a lengthy appearance because he's the boss.

I have not been shopping at ALL, I am so behind!

alysie89 · December 2013

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

7 weeks and 2 days **EDD CHANGE** July 29th

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

My symptoms have been pretty good, other than being tired all the time, and some nausea but not much else.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

Pretty good. I'm almost past the point where I miscarried last time. I'm starting to feel a bit more hopeful each day.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

I had my ultrasound on Wednesday, and saw a heartbeat of 153

. I think that made my whole month.

Favorite moment of the week?

The early dating ultrasound where she showed me my baby, and the precious heartbeat. I was so happy!

Least favorite moment of the week?

Listening to my MIL's unsolicited opinions on pregnancy and child raising. It's not all sunshine and rainbows, it's alot of work and pregnancy can be uncomfortable. I don't like pretending life is sparkly unicorns all the time.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all? Yes I'm all done or very very close anyways. I didn't splurge on myself at all. DH got a seasonal layoff and his other job hasn't started yet so It's a tight Christmas financially .

lamarei · December 2013

I'm feeling better, thanks for asking!
I'm trying to post my reply on my laptop, but it won't let me. It keeps saying "body is required".

Amores0121 · December 2013

Hello! I'd like to be added. According to last appt, EDD is 7/22.

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

iw4d, IDK what fruit that is

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? My nausea is much better than it was 2 weeks ago. Now it just comes and goes and is not super severe. Today my tummy just doesn't like me and basically hurts after eating or I feel like I'm gonna hurl. Now I'm getting up 2x before the alarm goes off to pee instead of once! Ugh. I sleep like shit.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
I was doing pretty good with it but am getting paranoid since we are planning on announcing on Christmas. I am terrified that we will tell DD and then at the next U/S baby will have stopped growing. I know at some point you just have to jump in and tell people but I'm so scared to tell her and have something happen. My latest loss was at 8w3d so I am paranoid that I can't see baby again until 12w but Dr. couldn't fit me in before Christmas. Plus since that loss was a Trisomy 18, she said it is very rare that that would happen again.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Not really, have a while to wait!

Favorite moment of the week?

Eating Lucky Charms every night before bed?//Um, duh self you just had an U/S on Tuesday!! Ok, that was the best part of the week.

Least favorite moment of the week?

When I get gas...it's literally so bad that I almost pass out from the smell.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all? No, not even close!! No, I don't splurge on myself. I never have the $ to. LOL. THat comes after Christmas, when I get my $ and gift cards.

Amores0121 · December 2013

@superkim13 I love it!

slensic · December 2013

@lamarei I have seen several people on various boards complain about that lately. I am not sure what it is. Reply when you can

uagirl · December 2013

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

8w6d

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

Nausea is starting to get better, which freaks me out. Weeks 7-8 were the worst with DD, so I'm not sure why I'm surprised that it's letting up. I could still use a midday nap and I'm in bed before 9 every night. Still having strong food aversions.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

Feeling a little better this week. Of course, the less sick I feel, the more worried I get.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

No appointment until 1/6.

Favorite moment of the week?

I got my tree up. I feel accomplished.

Least favorite moment of the week?

I was sicker Tuesday than I've been the entire pregnancy. Not a fun day.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all?

DH and I bought ourselves a Wii U for Christmas. I have barely done any shopping other than DD.

SweetTamale38 · December 2013

@slensic - Thank you for updating my EDD last time and for your encouraging personal comment!

Week and fruit: Just about to hit Week 10, a prune. I think my week starts on Saturdays, but Bump tells me Friday. Somehow, one day makes a big difference. Haha

Feeling prett.y good. Nervous for our second ultrasound on 12/27. I will be just about 12 Weeks. So scared that it will be negative....but I have had stretching pains, still on progesterone, and aversions and breast soreness. Trying to stay positive!
Christmas shopping us slow

BettyBoop86 · December 2013

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

Morning sickness went away for a week or so and now it is back with a vengence.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

Much better. I am exactly twice as far a long as last time.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

Fitst Trimester screen on the 27th

Favorite moment of the week?

Going to the OBGYN, having an ultrasound and seeing a little arm waving at me

Least favorite moment of the week?

Throwing up almost everything I ate

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all?

We celebrate Chanukkah so our holiday is over. Trying to make a budget for baby, so no big splurge on myself.

I would love to have a badge, but I am not creative at all...

chance_encounters · December 2013

Hello ladies! How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 11 weeks/lime

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Other than being really tired, still no symptoms

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Better now that I can easily find the heartbeat with my home Doppler

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? NT SCAN in the next 2 weeks Favorite moment of the week? Seeing my LO on u/s on Wed. "She" (idk I just refuse to say it) looked beautiful and had a heart rate of 189 Least favorite moment of the week?

DS has had major sleep regression in the past couple weeks and has been waking up 5+ times a night this week. I am freaking exhausted.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~* Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all?

Most all of the shopping is done. I bought myself a few items on Black Friday but DH says I can't have them and he is wrapping them lol...I want the darn boots I bought my feet ate cold and there is snow on the ground!!

silverlining8d · December 2013

Sorry I'm late! AT&T has failed us lately in the internet department.

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
I am 9 weeks, 1 day. Nugget is now the size of a green olive.

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

My symptoms are pretty good. I had a bad day a few days ago where I was nauseous and light headed all day but other than that I'm feeling well.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

I'm trying to be more positive and it's usually working. I could use prayers still since I still haven't gotten my test results back. They told me at my appointment last Monday was too soon except the find out that I passed my 3 hour glucose test (whoo!) and that they would call sometime that week with my results. I waited the entire week but I'm going to call once the office opens today.

*****update* Finally got my results back from the extra blood work they did on the 4th. They said there were some abnormalities and they want me to go in Wednesday to get started on daily injections. She said something about blood clotting issues but I guess I'll find out Wednesday...I was just too shocked to hear anything was wrong to ask any questions on the phone. Daily injections for the next 7 months seems pretty nuts.******

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

I have an appointment on the 23rd where I'm supposed to be able to hear the heartbeat again.

Favorite moment of the week?

Finding out I don't have gestational diabetes! (yet)

Least favorite moment of the week?

Getting a subpoena to be a witness against someone who used to be a friend in a custody hearing.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

Have you finished all of the your Holiday shopping yet? Have you splurged on yourself at all?

We've done all we can. We spent a lot on tires (we needed them) but it stalled our shopping. We got stuff for the niece and nephew and that's our main concern so it's okay.

Last week @Qfrump pointed out we don't have a badge. I would love one but am not the person to design it. Anyone interested in making one?
I can try and make something and see if ya'll like it.

silverlining8d · December 2013

a few ideas for badges. I thought I'd try the firework idea but since we're not all from the US I thought I'd make another one with a ruby (July's birthstone) it's cool if you don't like them just thought I'd give it a shot.

silverlining8d · December 2013

Thanks @AnotherDreamer I'm sure I will have plenty to ask.
