GTKY: What is your hair color and is it natural? (stealing from a TTGP thread this week)
Re: Friday ticker change
Symptoms: morning sickness is back with a vengeance! I need to find some better ginger stuff. Still super bloated. Some lightheadedness, but that might be the allergy med I had to switch to.
Rants/Raves/Stories: So sick of the bloat. I haven't changed my eating AT ALL, have (obviously) cut out alcohol, and have still been exercising, and I've gained something like 5 or 6 pounds. It seems to have slowed down this week, at least.
Rant #2 have to go to a bday dinner for DH's uncle tonight, at this nasty pizza dive that his family loves. It smells like nasty grease. Not looking forward to that, at all.
Questions for the group? I've seen a lot of discussion here and on 1st tri about the panorama/materniti21 blood tests. Has anyone had that done? Are there any downsides besides small chance of false positives?
GTKY: What is your hair color and is it natural? (stealing from a TTGP thread this week) Mine is currently dark blond/light brown. Close to natural color, but I have highlights right now since I've been slowly changing from red. I miss the red, though, so might go back in the fall.
Symptoms: nausea has hit me this week. Feels like I'm gonna throw up every morning. I eat a piece of toast and it's usually better. But if my stomach doesn't have something in it... Gag city! Also boobs are pretty sore at times but that comes and goes.
R/R/S- my father in law is already driving me crazy trying to be involved with everything! I don't want to get all into it- he is just bugging me to no end right now.
Questions: going in for my first prenatal appointment on Monday (yay!!) at 7W3D- how possible do you think it is to see a heartbeat??
GTKY- right now I have a very subtle ombre thing going on. It's mostly for low maintenance reasons. Light brown on top and a dark blond/blond on bottom.
Symptoms: so much bloat, sore boobs (but they aren't terrible, very manageable), nausea- although I actually threw up for the first time yesterday. Mostly just dry heaving or general icky-ness. My nose is just incredibly stuffy, which makes it difficult to sleep. Generally, though, I feel mostly good and very fortunate that I haven't been totally knocked down.
Rants/Raves/Stories: there are a lot of stupid questions on these boards and I am tired of them getting shut down for being "mean". We are all adults and should be able to tell someone they need to fart and they can't feel their baby move at 4 weeks.
Questions for the group? nope
GTKY: What is your hair color and is it natural? (stealing from a TTGP thread this week): dark brown
Symptoms: nothing too much actually. I am NOT hungry, which was what happened during 1st trimester of last baby too.
Rants/Raves/Stories: I just moved into a new house and found the box of my pregnancy clothes from last time. Although I'm not ready for them, it totally made my day!
Questions for the group? Not a question, but more of a statement - don't take me to heart if I hurt your feelings. I'm a realist that is bad about bedside manner. For example, my DD was an asshole this morning because I wouldn't let her wear 2 different shoes to daycare. She screamed the whole way there and then called me a banana. I love that kid but seriously, she might kill me. So - if saying stuff life that offends you, sorry in advance ;;)
GTKY: What is your hair color and is it natural? (stealing from a TTGP thread this week) - Blonde. It used to be white but has "darkened" to regular blonde now
Week: 8!!
Symptoms: Oh man, I don't want to even get started. Let's just say... I managed to brush my teeth and get dressed before noon today ;p
Rants/Raves/Stories: I'm annoyed by my mil and I'm done talking to her about pregnancy stuff. She is so negative and I just don't need that right now.
Questions for the group?
GTKY: What is your hair color and is it natural? (stealing from a TTGP thread this week) Strawberry blonde and it's natural. I have never dyed my hair!
It would have war if we told anyone before we told her. She is very insecure and sensitive.
However, she is not sensitive of others. When I was 4 weeks and going through lab draws one of my levels was a tad low so I had to go several times to have it drawn. She asked why I had to go so much so I told her and her response was "well if you have a miscarriage at least you weren't too pregnant."
Ummmm......
Since then, I don't say much to her.
Symptoms: bloating (I don't even try to button my pants anymore)
Rants/Raves/Stories: After missing the large conference last month due to our IVF cycle, I am excited to be joining some fellow friends at a local conference this week.
Questions for the group? What is everyone doing to help minimize the constipation. I have heard miralax and am at the point that I am going to need to do something soon.
GTKY: What is your hair color and is it natural? dirty blonde (mostly natural) I get a few highlights put in 2x per year just to spice it up.
Symptoms: heartburn and exhaustion
Rants/Raves/Stories:
Questions for the group? I'm having a hard time finding energy to announce this pregnancy. Anyone else???
GTKY: What is your hair color and is it natural? (stealing from a TTGP thread this week) I'm blonde! It is definitely not natural.
Symptoms: Sore Boobies, ALL day sickness, super exhausted, and a little cramping here and there.
Rants/Raves/Stories: So tired of not being able to eat. I love food, so I am in a shitty mood since I haven't eaten an actual meal since like last Friday.
Questions for the group? Anyone else having a totally opposite pregnancy?!
GTKY: What is your hair color and is it natural? (stealing from a TTGP thread this week) Im blond. Naturally a sandy blond and after letting it grow for 5 months I just went in and put a few highlights to lighten it a little : )
I'm not sure yet how we'll announce in on fb. Depends on whether we find out the sex early or not - if we know, I'd like to post a picture of all of us, including my stepsons, in our cowboy boots (we all got a pair for our wedding in February) with the empty baby boots next to ours. If we don't know, then I'm not sure yet. My first trimester is up right before DH's birthday, so I might do something related to that.
Week: 4
Symptoms: Bloat, sore boobs, light cramping
Rants/Raves/Stories: This week has been awful at work and I have really wanted a Corona w/ a lime soooo bad
Questions for the group? Nope
GTKY: What is your hair color and is it natural? (stealing from a TTGP thread this week) Blonde....Natural... haha NO !

Questions for the group? Nope
GTKY: What is your hair color and is it natural? (stealing from a TTGP thread this week) - Brown. It's naturally brown, but I'm going gray so I have to color it
Symptoms: exhausted, nausea has started this week, but no vomitting yet! Food aversions are starting up. Boobs are big and sore.
Rants/Raves/Stories: still managing to keep this baby a secret! Have to hang out with my inlaws tomorrow though, so hopefully they don't notice!
Questions for the group? How are your clothes fitting?
GTKY: What is your hair color and is it natural? (stealing from a TTGP thread this week) natural light brown.

Rants/Raves/Stories: Still keep everything under wraps for now with our friends and family. Still trying to decide how we're going to tell everyone.
Questions for the group?
GTKY: What is your hair color and is it natural? (stealing from a TTGP thread this week) Naturally red and no color
BFP 8.14.15 ~~ Due 4.22.16
Symptoms: Some intermittent nausea, heightened smell and taste, definitely food aversions. Oh- and all I want to do is lay in bed for the next six hours.
Rants/Raves/Stories: This is my boyfriend's first child, and my second. His older sister has a toddler who we see a lot. He's very excited to "have one of his own", as he puts it- but I just think he's being too mushy and clingy. He says I'm just being mean. I just don't want to be hugged and kissed every 60 seconds. Okay???
Questions for the group? If any of you have multiples, how did you tell your first child when you were pregnant with #2? How old was #1 when you told them? How did they react? DS is 4.5 and I'm worried he'll tell me I can't have a baby. xD
GTKY: What is your hair color and is it natural? (stealing from a TTGP thread this week) I am au naturale! I'm a medium-dark brown, nothing fun.
I am so hoping I get to see it! Trying not to expect too much though- keeping realistic thoughts.
Week: 8
Symptoms: Fatigue, woke up every 3 hours to pee last night, boobs: intermittent varying degrees of soreness, permanently bloated, random various come and go abdominal pains and sensations, vivid dreams, intense hunger
Rants/Raves/Stories: (This is going to be long, so sue me!) This one is a few weeks old but I haven't shared it yet and I'm still pissed off about it so: DH and I just moved cross country back to his hometown in June. We are staying with the IL until our house is ready, hopefully 09/01. A few weeks ago DH was preparing for a mud bog drag race and had 1 week to rebuild an engine in the evenings after work. He had been working real late on it every night. One day I had some strange pain that was pretty bad. I was really freaked out about it and spent all day stressing about if I was having an ectopic pregnancy and whether or not I should go to the ER. I was terrified and extremely stressed out. I did call my doctor and he said that it was probably normal early pregnancy stuff and that it was too early for an ectopic to present so not to worry about it yet, in the absence of any bleeding. The pain gradually eased off over the course of the day and was completely gone by evening. I was mentally and physically exhausted and pretty much a wreck. I was relaxing in a recliner in the living room after dinner. I told the MIL everything that had happened that day and how I was feeling. DH came in from the garage and asked what was for dinner. I told him steak and salad, and he asked where the salad was. I told him that it was in the basement fridge. He then went to the washroom to wash up and the MIL out of no where freaks out at me "Go get the salad for your husband! He's tired and stressed out and you need to serve him! We need to take care of our husbands!" I was completely blown away. Here I was stressing out over a possible ectopic pregnancy and she has the audacity to tell me that DH is tired and stressed out! I was like "Are you kidding me?" and shut myself up in our room. She offered a flimsy apology a week later since I had basically stopped talking to her. And I'm still mad because I had been counting on her for empathy and support. The end.
Questions for the group? I got nothing!
GTKY: What is your hair color and is it natural? Sandy blonde/light brown all natural, haven't dyed since grade 7.
Symptoms: light cramping, nasuea, and I'm soooooooo tired all the time. And hungry. I find myself constantly hungry
Rants/Raves/Stories: nothing really rant worthy. I just found out Wednesday I was pregnant. I have more worries than rants. I worry about my numbers doubling and I worry about how things will go once we have the baby and we aren't even close yet! Lol
Questions for the group? None at the moment.
GTKY: What is your hair color and is it natural? I'm very blonde and its very natural lol
Symptoms: exhaustion, sore swollen boobs, I go from being fine to starving in a split second. I get heart burn but only at night when I lay down for bed.
Rants/Raves/Stories: I have a wedding next week Saturday and I went to my final dress fitting and now my dress doesn't fit at all. My hips and my boobs are too big. I literally sob in David's bridal because of it.
Questions for the group? When did people tell their family? We still haven't.
GTKY: What is your hair color and is it natural? (stealing from a TTGP thread this week) I'm a red head but I have some highlights in it.
Week: 8
Symptoms: boobs are so big and hurting. Intense nausea when it's humid. TIRED.ALL.THE.TIME
Rants/Raves/Stories: Told my parents and inlaws. Everyone was so excired. But it started this crazy argument between DH and I because my mom asked (very nicely and not in an intense or controlling way) if she could be in the delivery room. She was a single mom and raised me alone, so I said sure if she was out of the way but that I may change my mind later bc I'm not really thinking that far ahead. (didn't think anything of it) well DH flipped when we got home, that it should be just us and he's insecure that I would need my mom to be there for me when we should go through it together. I totally get his side but now I'm crazy torn about what to do. NEVER even considered it would be such a huge deal.
Questions for the group? Nope.
GTKY: What is your hair color and is it natural? (stealing from a TTGP thread this week)
It's currenrly dark brown which is not my natural color which is dirty blonde. However since I got pregnant the color has been coming out so fast!! (My hair is coming out like crazy too) so blonde roots are slowing growing out
