I thought I'd get this started and see what kind of interest there was.
This is a check-in for those ladies whose tickers change on Thursdays. (EDDs Jan 1, 8, 15, 22, 29). It will be posted weekly!

How are you feeling? A little nauseous today. Tried to take some candy from the lady at work who keeps candy at her desk. All she had was mints and that did not work.
Appointments/Updates? June 3 is my first apt. Less than two weeks away!
Rants/Raves: I got nothing good today.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this summer? Just heading down to the beach and having fun with DD.
Week/Fruit:
8/raspberry. I can't believe I'm 8 weeks.
How are you feeling?
Pretty good today, thankfully. Yesterday sucked.. so I'm happy I feel good today.
Appointments/Updates?
I have two weeks before my next appointment- I'll be 10 weeks. SO hoping we can hear the HB then because I don't get a u/s until my NT. It's hard at this stage to know that things are going OK in there.
Rants/Raves:
I'm just hoping my dang morning sickness cooperates in the next 3 days! We are taking a mini trip to NYC and I want to feel decent, especially on the train ride.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this summer?
Spending more time with my husband
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Sore boobs, but that's about it.
Appointments/Updates? 1st appt was last Friday. Can't wait for the 1st u/s around 10 weeks!
Rants/Raves: I am horrible at keeping secrets about myself! I just want to tell folks but we are trying to wait to tell our families in person when we visit at the end of June. I'm not sure I can wait a whole month!
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this summer? Looking forward to letting the cat out of the bag finally! Also looking forward to our trip to visit family. And summer in general. This has been a ROUGH winter in the midwest and I would just love more sun and warmth!
I am sooooo tired you guys.
I have an appointment today and another u/s on June 2.
This summer I'm looking forward to enjoying the sun, BBQing and enjoying my city.
8 weeks today!/ raspberry
How are you feeling? Pretty good actually! It seemed like in weeks 6 and 7 I was almost always nauseous. It feels like my body may have adapted to some of the hormones because I have been 5 days nausea free!
Appointments/Updates?
I was supposed to have a sit down with the nurse in the OB office tomorrow. Unfortunately they called to reschedule it to next wed. Then next Friday an appointment with the doctor (hopefully an u/s that day).
Rants/raves:
I just want my first couple of appointments complete so I know all is well! I can't wait to share the news with more people!
GTKY:
I am looking forward to moving back to Minneapolis. We have been in Boston the last two years and I'm excited to get settled in our new place and be able to spend time with our family.

How are you feeling? Great!
Appointments/Updates? FIRST APPT TOMORROW! I am so flippin' excited! I realize that the first appt is boring but I don't care. It'll feel real once the pregnancy is medically confirmed
Rants/Raves: First day that my boobs are just a tad sore. Pretty pumped about it actually.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this summer? Having an excuse for looking fat in a bathing suit? JK... kind of.. A group of friends and DH and I are going to OBX next weekend for 4 days. I'm pretty excited because I've never really vacationed with friends other than for Bachelorette parties
BFP 1/5/2016 EDD 9/17/2016
8 weeks here/raspberry
Today has been quite terrible so far. I've been enjoying not puking thanks to my zofran. Unfortunately I forgot that one of the side effects is severe constipation. That hour in the bathroom this morning really sucked. Time to start focusing on fiber and water intake, I guess!
My first appointment is tomorrow afternoon, so no news on that front. I'm hoping they don't change my due date because like a lot of you, I really like being at the beginning of the month. I was one of the last ones to deliver on my old board so it's fun to be first this time!
We have two beach vacations planned so I'm looking forward to those. H and I are going to San Francisco in June, too. I've never been there so I can't wait.
How are you feeling? Awful. So much nausea, and exhaustion and RLP. And chasing after DD is not helping. I just want to nap.
Appointments/Updates? Went in on Tues. to confirm the pregnancy. Go in for the first ultrasound on 6/5
Rants/Raves: I agree that the daily symptoms thread is a bit overkill (although at the same time I love that it's there and we're not being bombarded with 800 "is this normal?" threads everyday!). I really liked doing the ticker change ones with my last pregnancy.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this summer? Lots of pool time with DD! And we're going out to California at some point to visit my family. It's hard being across the country from them!
How are you feeling? Normal.
Appointments/Updates? Had my first Midwife appointment today. Got to see the heartbeat again. Now no more appointments for 4 weeks.
Rants/Raves: None at the moment.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this summer? Ugh, is it sad to say that I don't really have anything to look forward to? DH is going to be "moving" about 1.5 hours away and he'll only be home on weekends. NOT looking forward to it being just me...
