Re: ***Tuesday Check-In***
What's new with baby (size, development): Apple seed, developing all major stuff. So exciting!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Having a romantic dinner with DH tonight. Oops, that's for us, not for bébé.
Rant/rave/symptoms: First appointment tomorrow! I know there will be nothing to see on the u/s, but I'm excited nonetheless.
Questions for the Group: none today
GTKY: Share a memorable high school moment: Hm, does skipping school with my best friend count? I didn't like high school very much.
What's new with baby (size, development): Last day of appleseed
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Trying not to puke my guts out
Rant/rave/symptoms: Oh my gosh the nausea is awful. I can't imagine what it would be like without Unisom/B6. I'm almost to the point of asking for Zofran. Didn't take my prenatals today because the thought made me want to puke. I'm just praying the next few weeks go very quickly. I seriously feel like I was hit by a bus. I'm a total zombie walking around and I just all around feel like poop. I seriously hate first trimester. I know I'm lucky to be here but I hate it. Being at work is almost a relief so I don't have to chase around my 3 year old and 1 year old. But I'm thankful my 3 year old has been such a cuddle bug lately.
Questions for the Group: Anyone else having issues with posting comments - like it has to be in the "Show Source" mode in order to post anything?

What's new with baby (size, development): still a poppyseed! Ready to be an apple see hah!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: prenatals, went & go lots of healthy food yesterday, drinking tons of water. & only having one dr pepper a day. That part makes me sad lol
Rant/rave/symptoms: the bloating has seemed to subside a little bit also my acne is going away!!!! It's like a freaking magic! I've been fighting it since I got of the pill in October ugh! Boobs are still a little tender to touch. Also woke up this morning with a weird rash ugh! Also left a message at 8:45 yesterday morning at the doctors, they didnt call back until 2:30 it rang once & when I went to pick it up it hung up. They left me a message to call them back. So I immediately called them back & had to leave yet again another message. Didn't hear from them after so if they don't call by lunch I'm going to call again. So annoying.
Questions for the Group: anyone ever had a rash while pregnant? I know I'm early on but I haven't changed anything & it's on my back right before my butt. It's red with bumps. Not too itchy but freaks me out. Hoping it goes away.
GTKY: Share a memorable high school moment. DH & I met in highschool! Summer of our junior year. But we went to different schools. Actually rival schools & he played baseball so I loved watching him play!
What's new with baby (size, development): Apple seed!

Prep: We're not doing much at this point.
Rave: We thought we were more than seven weeks pregnant based on my lmp but based on yesterday's ultrasound that changes to just six weeks today. This is going to be such a long pregnancy. Especially since my son was over a week late. Also I've had nasty morning sickness for two weeks already and am so sick of being sick. Blah!
HS memory: I broke my foot twice my Jr year. I got really good at crutches and raced my classmates in the hall.
What's new with baby (size, development): sweet pea
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: nothing
Rant/rave/symptoms: totally NBR but my hormones are making me 10x more sad at finding out last night a childhood friend passed away from a nasty reaction to his chemo treatment. It wasn't the cancer that killed him but what was supposed to save him that did.
Questions for the Group: none today
GTKY: Share a memorable high school moment. I had a last name that fit in the alphabet right next to two of my best friends so our lockers were by each other for four years as well as getting to go through graduation together.
What's new with baby (size, development): Appleseed!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Moving furniture around from the second bedroom (soon to be nursery) into the office to make space for a crib/rocker etc. I figure I should help DH do this while I still feel good.
Rant/rave/symptoms: I am hungry all the time, eating so often. Touch of nausea but not bad at all. Also so sleepy!
Questions for the Group: Anyone planning any fun announcements for family? We bought countdown blocks for each set of grandparents and we are going to just set them up so they say "34 weeks" and wait until they get it.
GTKY: High school for me was basically all academics... Was in a farther away school for the IB program and studied all day. On the plus side, since school was farther, my parents gave me a van when I was 16 to drive. First mom van
What's new with the baby(size/development): sweat pea! Circulating blood, sprouting eyes, nose, and chin and wiggling growing arms & legs.
What's something new you're doing to get ready for the baby: Working on how we will announce him/her, but first to the grandparents!
Rant/rave/symptoms: BB's hurt every time the wind blows, scared that morning sickness is starting. Not feeling so hot today.
Questions for the group: is everyone else a nervous wreck waiting for their first ultrasound!?! I am so worried about bad news!
Share a memorable high school moment: Taking 2 art classes (same semester) my senior year and being in heaven (I ended up becoming a graphic designer)
What's new with baby (size, development):
Tomorrow we get to be a new fruit!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby:
Planning to tell dh's parents and brother on Friday (we won't see them for a month or so after and I don't want to tell them over the phone.) I am really nervous about it. Both because our first appointment isn't until next Tuesday, but also because I'm afraid if their reactions (despite owning our own house and living comfortably within our means, they don't think we make enough money).
Rant/rave/symptoms: my nausea is back yesterday and today a little more consistently. Eating a few crackers seems to help for a little bit but then it comes back. Trying to suck it up since we are on vacation, hoping I can make it through the aquarium today!
Questions for the Group:
GTKY: Share a memorable high school moment.
My friends and I would spend a week at my cottage eating junk food, boating and hanging out. I have so many good memories from around our nightly fires!
What's new with baby (size, development): Still the Appleseed of my eye
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby:
My husband and I are musicians, and today we had a guitarist friend come over and record our version of a song with me singing. We rewrote the words to announce baby. DH does video-editing too, so we will be compiling reactions from our close friends and family, putting them in the video over top of me singing, and using this as our public announcement in September.
Rant/rave/symptoms:
Annnnd avocados are out. But eggs are in! Appleseed said no thanks to the first and yes, please to the second today!
Questions for the Group:
GTKY: Share a memorable high school moment.
I drove a Ford Festiva in high school, and occasionally I'd come out to find my car turned sideways in its spot, moved onto the lawn, or turned around completely. It was done by friends who thought it was hilarious. I roll my eyes now, but at the time it was really upsetting! Why do teenage boys have to be such idiots?!
What's new with baby (size, development): poppyseed
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby:
Eating light healthy snacks about every 2-3 hours. It is helping keep my stomach feeling good, otherwise I begin to feel so sick I don't want to eat at all. Also getting ready for a trip to San Fransisco which has subsequently turned into a little 'baby moon.'
Rant/rave/symptoms: sore chest, soo tired and queezy stomach
Questions for the Group: Going to the dentist on Thursday. Is there anything I need to be aware of/ask about? (X-rays, cleaning solutions etc.)
GTKY: Share a memorable high school moment.
Eating dinner at DH's house for the first time. We lived in a very small town so my mom had taught all of the kids in town and knew them all... Except for my DH. He had gone to a catholic school out of town. So when I asked her she said no because she thought he was a differnt guy with the same name with a horrible reputation. We still laugh that I found the only guy in the whole town that she didn't know to start dating and later marry. (It really was just by chance.)
Just tell them you're pregnant!
Ready: I'm an avid runner who runs 30-40 miles per week. I plan on keeping up with my running during the pregnancy as a way to stay healthy and in shape.
Rant/Raves: lots of cramping right now but just excited to be pregnant after having a miscarriage.
Questions: none
Tylenol does jack crack for me. Go into a steamy bathroom and just sit and breathe in the steam. You can use a little peppermint/eucalyptus oil to open up your sinuses - breathe it in, do one drop and mix with a carrier oil like coconut oil and rub on your sinuses.

Our family of 5 is complete!! Love our boys!
Well, it's more to do with me, but it's really starting to sink in that there's a little new person in me. Timtam seems the same, I think.
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby:
Telling my parents and siblings today!
Rant/rave/symptoms:
Symptoms are the same, except I can tell now the fatigue is not just "oh maybe I didn't sleep well last night" kind of tiredness, but "oh my God am I going to faint at work?" fatigue.
Questions for the Group:
Do you guys feel like you're even close to ready? I'm starting to look at my life and think "no way do I live like a parent."
GTKY: Share a memorable high school moment.
Oh God. Painful times because I was so shy and awkward. I did read a lot of wonderful literature, though, so I'll say reading The Catcher in the Rye was a good one.
What's new with baby (size, development): size of a sweet pea. Nausea was pretty bad past few days but today has been pretty tolerable. Changed my eating around.
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Reading everything! Also bought a container of wipes while grocery shopping yesterday.
Rant/rave/symptoms: I'm in love with being pregnant and try to remember that when I'm gagging brushing my teeth.
Questions for the Group:
GTKY: Share a memorable high school moment. Meeting my husband! We are high school sweethearts and have been married for almost 3 years. We met in study hall, and I always saw him during softball conditioning since he played baseball and we all worked out at our YMCA.

GTKY: Share a memorable high school moment. Merting my hubby! A friend of mine set me up with a friend and it turns out she had meant to set me up with a different guy with the same name. Thankfully, it all worked out!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: I bought a black belly band today for my work pants due to the bloat (or maybe I'm just eating too much lol). With DS I didn't need it until about 20 weeks!
Rant/rave/symptoms: major bloating, tired, and I have a sinus thing going on right now which is miserable
Questions for the Group:
GTKY: Share a memorable high school moment. Singing at Carnegie Hall my senior year with the choir
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Went to the doctor today for our first ultrasound. We got to see our little baby and its heartbeat. Now that it feels real we told my mother in law and our neighbors. We also started thinking about the giant list of things around our house we need to get done before summer is over.
Rant/rave/symptoms: After 2 losses and the hell we have been through to get to this point I will gladly take the nausea, bloating, sore boobs, and tiredness.
