Symptoms: still nausea and vomiting but not all the time. Sore boobs. gas. extreme emotions. exhaustion
Rant/Raves: SO keeps making observations which are not very nice ones when you are pregnant and emotional. I told him his observations just make me want to punch him in the face and he said the baby is making me angry.
Questions:
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? (I don't think we've done this one yet, correct me if I'm wrong!) Online dating.
Symptoms: still some nausea but I'm getting some energy back, even went for a short run with my new dog last night. She's not least trained very well yet, so she stopped abruptly and I aggravated an old knee injury, but it felt so good to run again! A week ago I would've come home, grazed a bit, and passed out.
Rants/raves: can't go too in depth but I was able to see karma doing work first hand on one of my superiors today; I am absolutely elated.
GTKY: We met through work; we tried to stay away from each other but we just couldn't. After his contract was up, we got hitched and the rest is history
Symptoms: Still nauseous during the majority of the day, and throwing up at least once every few days. I'm also very tired and feel like I'm not getting enough sleep, even though I'm getting 9-10 hours every night. I'm also starting to deal with heartburn after some meals -not fun.
Rant/Raves: I got the job I interviewed for last week and gave my two weeks notice yesterday. I start my new job on 10/12 and I'll be almost 14 weeks and they don't know yet. I'm hoping I can wait until 16 weeks before I tell my new job.
Questions: For gals that wear leggings, do you recommend maternity ones or just regular ones? The few pairs that I really love are too tight so I'm going to have to get new ones soon.
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? (I don't think we've done this one yet, correct me if I'm wrong!) I'll give the short version - we met on Spring Break when we were in college. We both happened to be on the same 60 ft live aboard sailboat that sailed from Miami to the Bahama's for a week. While on the trip we discovered that we were both from Iowa and went to Iowa State. The rest is history.
Rant/Raves: Stupid drivers speeding up on the right merging lane to get in front of me and then when I try to switch to the right lane, the car that's pretty far behind me speeds the hell up! Ugh! Damn drivers!
Questions: No questions this week
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? through my ex boyfriend lol they worked together. We didn't start dating till maybe 2 years or so after we met. We just kept running into each other.

Symptoms: None? Well - ridiculous hip pain all night long. sucks. but it did get my DH to go mattress shopping this weekend!
Rant/Raves: Hate when people say things like "looking good" no i'm not. i've already gained 12lbs - thanks to sugar and lack of will power. it's not baby yet, it's unused carbs. but to balance that out - i'm LOVING when DD talks about being a big sister and pats my belly saying hi baby. THAT is okay.
Questions: when does trimester one actually end? is it beginning or end of week 13? i forget.
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? (I don't think we've done this one yet, correct me if I'm wrong!) High school! 1998 to be exact! Dated til we graduated, broke up for a few years (made college much more interesting :P ), took it real slow and got married in 2010! my first and always love!
@asetch I got a maternity pair from Kohl's (maternity is 40% off) and they are my new favorite. I also got a pair of Ross that I love. I like the maternity better than just regular leggings. They have more stretch.
Symptoms: mainly tired, nausea may be letting up a little bit. I also had some joint pain over the weekend and yesterday got the worst migraine of my life
Rant/Raves: that migraine was one of the worst pains I've ever experienced. DH found me on the floor, curled in a ball sobbing I was in so much pain. He called my OB and got me prescription meds. I can actually be upright today! I have new found sympathy for anyone that suffers from chronic migraines
Questions:
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? (I don't think we've done this one yet, correct me if I'm wrong!) we very romantically met at a bar. I then tried to get him to leave me alone for the next month (he thought I was playing hard to get). We were married three and a half years later.
Symptoms: continued nausea, fatigue, bloat, boobs... Overly sensitive to smells & careless comments
Rant/Raves: Trying very hard to stay positive and to shield myself from unnecessary stress and drama, but unfortunately we're dealing with a LOT of it right now, so it's been difficult. I've also essentially put myself on partial bedrest, because I probably spend half the day in bed. I feel really guilty for disengaging from what is going on, and for being such a slug... but I also think that's why this pregnancy has progressed to week 10, and my two other recent pregnancies didn't get past week 6.
On a more positive note, I'm extremely grateful for California rolls & Diclegis.
Symptoms: STILL with the nausea.... waaahhh! I have gained over ten pounds. Waaaahhhhh. Because I feel hungry and sick constantly and snack all day long. Waaahhhh. I am so over it.
Rant/Raves: Why am I so huge?
Questions:
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? (I don't think we've done this one yet, correct me if I'm wrong!): Met at a party in college... I was bumming cigs off of him. I've always been a classy broad.

Nov siggy challenge: animals eating Thanksgiving food
@pinottoparenthood - my kids will never know the truth about their parents first few months together. No shame in my game, but I really hope they get his temperament.
Symptoms: I'm pretty sure I'm less patient than normal - need to take extra deep breaths while teaching.
Rant/Raves: Got to hear the heartbeat for the first time on Saturday! That made it all so much more real, and I burst into (happy) tears. Rant: my MIL touched my belly (without asking) - at 12 weeks there's really nothing to feel, so she's just touching my pudgy stomach, which seems way too invasive.
Questions: Any other teachers - did you get your long-term sub lined up before telling your principal? We have a recently retired teacher in my district who also taught music, and I'd like to ask her, but I'm not sure what order to go in.
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? I was playing cello in an orchestra, he was the orchestra manager.
Symptoms: Nausea is worse now that it was in the beginning. Heartburn for daysssss. And I had a very severe headache over the weekend that had me in tears because I couldn't take it anymore.
Rant/Raves: I'm less tired finally!

Symptoms: I'm just flat out exhausted, Vomiting every 2 to 3 days. All in all though, things are starting to look up.
Rant/Raves: I finally told my mom yesterday. She was so excited, she cried. I'm telling my dad and the rest of my family today, wish me luck!
Questions: No questions this week.
