Rants/Raves/Stories: we are having the hardest time coming up with a boy name we both

Questions for the group: nothing yet
GTKY: we honeymooned in St. Lucia and I loved it. Would love to go back.

Rants/Raves/Stories: I have follow up blood work today to ensure my hcg levels are rising appropriately... i'm SO nervous.

Rants/Raves/Stories: I don't want to go to work or attend any meetings.
Questions for the group: none today
GTKY: I'm sure we could all use some relaxation. What is your favorite vacation destination? I love the Adirondacks, it's such a beautiful and calm place to relax, hike, swim, and canoe.
@winchestertopittsburgh Cramping and backaches are totally normal, pretty much throughout the whole pregnancy. Last week my back was sore and I was cramping like a motherhugger.
Rants/Raves/Stories: had my first appointment today. (4w2d) they only did blood work and scheduled me for an ultrasound. The DH went with me and I'm so glad he did because I was nervous and all over the place
Questions for the group:
GTKY: I'm sure we could all use some relaxation. What is your favorite vacation destination? I don't have one right now haven't been on many vacations. I think Greece and Indonesia have some beautiful relaxing locations I would like to visit
Symptoms: Definitely heightened sense of smell. Also, I had a weird wave of nausea this morning while I was playing with DD, and changing her diaper was... a challenge. I think it's psychological. Either way, it's too early for this ish!
Rants/Raves/Stories: See above.
Questions for the group: None right now.
GTKY: I'm sure we could all use some relaxation. What is your favorite vacation destination? We just got back from Okinawa, Japan which was pretty amazing. Definitely the furthest I've ever been from home physically and culturally. Domestically, I had a really nice time in Gulf Shores, AL a few years ago. I'd probably be more likely to go back there since there isn't like 20 hours of plane travel required to get there.
Symptoms: backache, extreme bloating, sore nipples, and I've been feeling a little nauseous today.
Raves: I caved and announced to my parents and brother and sister in law last night. DH was able to film it too, they were beyond excited. My dad teared up! Also I have my first appt in 3 weeks. I'll be 7 and a half weeks, I can't wait!!
No questions today
gTKY: providenciales, turks and Caicos!! Grace Bay beach...the most beautiful beach I've ever seen!
Symptoms: exhaustion! And waking up starving in the middle of the night. What's that about??
Rants/Raves/Stories: I saw two of my best friends this morning. One asked how my vacation was and I blurted out, "It was good. I'm pregnant!" I didn't know how else to tell them! lol
Questions for the group: nope
GTKY: I'm sure we could all use some relaxation. What is your favorite vacation destination? I've been to Puerto Rico twice. Love it there.
Rants/Raves/Stories: I can't for the life of me get a ticker to work in my signature!
Questions for the group: none today
GTKY: I'm sure we could all use some relaxation. What is your favorite vacation destination? Not necessarily my favorite, but looking forward to our vacation in Orlando next month! Will be our first major vacation with a toddler, hoping everything goes smoothly!
Symptoms: crazy bloating, like, my pants are tight already bloating ( I mean, did I eat a whole thanksgiving dinner in my sleep last night?! I'm also pretty fatigued today, and I'm having some heart flutters, which I think I can remember last time early in pregnancy that was due to the increase in blood flow.
Rants/Raves/Stories: This weekend was interesting. I started noticing symptoms so I bought a few tests and kept getting very faint lines. Sent DH to the store to get a digital one, and got a Not Pregnant on Saturday. Decided to take another digital one this morning and got a Pregnant. So it's official official I'm here. AHH!!!!!!
Questions for the group: When does everyone have their first appointments? I called to make one this morning and it's not until Aug 19th. WAHHH!
GTKY: I'm sure we could all use some relaxation. What is your favorite vacation destination? Not really relaxing, but I'm a HUGE Disney fanatic! We also honeymooned in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, which is where I would choose to go again if I wanted relaxing!
Symptoms: Nada...I'm trying to remind myself that I didn't have any of the classic ones with my son either (almost the entire pregnancy!)
Rants/Raves/Stories: My son had a stomach bug this weekend and it went through the whole household. I'm a little worried about that but there is nothing I can do now. I did my best to stay hydrated and rested.
Questions for the group: Haven't posted in a long time. Need a refresher because I can't seem to change my sig.
GTKY: I'm sure we could all use some relaxation. What is your favorite vacation destination? Anywhere with a beach!

GTKY: I'm sure we could all use some relaxation.What is your favorite vacation destination? Muskoka area northern ontario. So beautiful and being on the water and out in the fresh air.
Rants/Raves/Stories: itnis going to be hard to keep this secret for long. But we are hoping I wait until second trimester before we tell anyone.
Questions for the group: how long are you planning to wait until you spill the beans?
GTKY: I'm sure we could all use some relaxation. What is your favorite vacation destination? I love camping. Tent, sleeping on the ground, and no electricity camping.
@Rainbowheart we told my parents yesterday, and we're telling husband's parents this weekend. We will tell everyone else/public once we reach the second trimester. I can't wait to tell though, I get more excited everyday. Its really starting to sink in!
@Rainbowheart we have been telling everyone little by little. However our parents still do not know because they haven't received their gifts in the mail. I doubt we are going to wait until second trimester to announce. We figured since we have the same possibility to miscarry at 9w as we would at week 13 we might as well tell anytime around week 9. If anything we are waiting to hear the heartbeat
@Rainbowheart I'm planning to wait until after my first doctor's appointment, which won't be until the end of August. I am terrible at keeping secrets so I am just going to try to avoid friends and family until then (just kidding... sort-of).
Rants/Raves/Stories:My OB is out of town and her stand in is dumb. I had a stillbirth last September and a miscarriage in January I need want my Doctor. I'm really nervous.
