I hope it's okay for me to start this! I use TB a lot and I get sad when I have nothing to read, so here we go for today!

Re: Tuesday Symptoms
How are you feeling? Bloated... super bloated
Rants/Raves? I am going to be surprising DH tomorrow and I bought a book (Goodnight Darth Vader by Jeffrey Brown) and will be making a onesie that says "The force is strong with this one". I can't wait! (Can you tell that hes a big star wars fan???)
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? I am hoping I can to go Europe before I pop, but I don't think I can =(
How are you feeling? I'm feeling better each day, still super tired by the end of the day, and I definitely get cranky at DH and at people at work for no reason, but overall I think i hit my stride with figuring out how to eat small portions every so often to make sure my stomach is never empty, and staying hydrated. But I am still super bloated and backed up.
Rants/Raves? I can't wait until my first appointment next Friday!! One of my best friends is expecting and she just announced. All day long she texts me about the baby and how excited she is and asking when we'll have kids etc, its so hard not to tell her! But I can't, as much as I love my friend, I know her shortcomings and keeping a secret is definitely one of them! I'll tell her after our first appointment, once our families know - I know she'll be excited that we both have summer maternity leave!!
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? I don't know that we'll be making any big trips before our due date, trying to save $$ and time off for after the babies arrival! We hit our big bucket list trip on our honeymoon when we went to the Maldives... we knew flying around the world wouldn't happen again after we had children so we took advantage then and it was worth it!!
How are you feeling? Good. Just tired, and slightly nauseous when my stomach is empty.
Rants/Raves? Waiting on second blood draw results today! Ring phone, ring.
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? Hmm, we're in saving for pre-baby home reno and baby $$ savings mode, so we won't do anything fancy. However, I really want to go to a beach in the spring.
How are you feeling? Great since it's so early but my boobs started hurting today
Rants/Raves? Just happy to be here
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? I don't think we'll be doing any trips in the next 9 months. We just went to Hawaii in August and that was a pretty amazing vacation.
DD #2: EDD July 2016
I'm tired. So very tired. I have to get up early to get my oldest ready for school, my 3yr old doesn't nap, and my 10mo old has been sleeping like crap at night. I woke up late this morning and was almost late getting DS to school.
Rant. I need to go to the grocery store so bad but I can't bring myself to come up with a list. Nothing sounds good and I'm I don't feel up to bringing the boys to the grocery store. But I am tired of playing chopped for dinner. Total fwp I know.
No trips here. A lot of big changes happening here. Money is going to a new vehicle and possibly a house.
, 💙💙💙💙💙💙
How are you feeling? Good, just tired. Morning sickness has officially started. It's isn't terrible yet, but it's here.
I got off my Zoloft( waiting to meet with the OB) so this week has been hard and my IBS is the worst it's ever been.
Rants/Raves? Slightly annoyed at DH that he won't tell his family. I've told everyone. I'm waiting on him so we can announce it on FB. (I have this super cute pic I want to post)
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date?
We had a family vacation planned next sunmer(it's my grandparents 50th anniversary and the whole family was going. My moms side of the family doesn't live in the same state as us, so we see them every couple of years) We won't be able to go now, it's June 11-18. I had my DD 3 weeks early so I don't want to risk it. Besides that, didn't have any plans. It might be nice to make it to where my DHs family lives. Haven't been there in a while and people will want to see us before the baby comes. Only problem is I don't like my in laws..
How are you feeling? Exhausted. Sleeping 10 hours at night with a lunch nap and still want more sleep. Not eating well- 3 bites and it tastes bad, starving but aversions are strong. Trying to force healthy stuff down then battling waves of nausea. Everything SMELLS (you guys do NOT go to the thrift store! just don't). *WAY TMI* Holy crotch sweat! Anyone else getting this during work outs? Never used to be an issue for me, now just ew. And the crying. I cried already today. I could cry again right now. And my poor DH is so supportive, but I have no idea how he's putting up with this. I feel awful and complain constantly- this whole thing is not the fun magical experience the movies promised! Did I mention I refused to wear a bra to work today? Big scarf. Bras can F*** off right now.
Rants/Raves? See how are you feeling^
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? Have to visit home so my Mom and Dad and huge extended family will see me at least once with a bump. DH and I are in super saver mode as well, but probably will take a weekend trip or two hiking and to some springs
4w 5d
How are you feeling?
Nearly debilitating headache since Sunday. I'm actually trying to enjoy it, because as soon as it's gone, morning sickness will hit. That was the pattern with DD, and it seems to be going the same.
Rants/Raves?
The LO I babysit keeps making this high-pitch screech that feels like an ice pick in my head. Every time he does, I give him a stern "no." He looks at me startled like, "how dare you tell me no?" And then he tries to bite me. It's almost funny, except not.
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date?
No trips for us right now. I'd really like to visit the bathroom. Alone. Without anyone beating in the door or wiggling little fingers or paws under it. I have big dreams.
How are you feeling? Some nausea and zero appetite. I don't enjoy forcing myself to eat. My boobs are killing me but hey, I have cleavage. I don't think I've ever had cleavage.
Rants/Raves? We have new neighbors upstairs. They woke us up running/stomping around at 6am.
Apparently I have a short fuse right now because within minutes I was on their floor banging on the door. They wouldn't answer though. :-w so I emailed their landlords.
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? We probably won't go anyway, we had a bus trip to Brazil in May and that was pricey!
How are you feeling? Tired....constantly tired...
Rants/Raves? My boobs are back to killing me and I'm still having food aversions :-( I go from zero to hungry in .5 seconds to the point where I feel like I am going to pass out. I teach a lab class, so snacking is not an option for me.
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? We are going to Mexico for a wedding on Thursday and I think we are going to try and do a small trip at the end of the school year. Since school only ends 3 weeks before my due date and I won't be able to fly, we will probably just go to the Jersey shore for a long weekend.
How are you feeling? Good! I don't feel pregnant at all
How are you feeling? Feeling ok. Mostly just bloating, tired, and feeling sick at night.
Rants/Raves? I'm wishing my doc apt was before dec 7. Thinking about calling to ask them to do a blood test or something to make me less nervous. (Though honestly I don't know if that would even help).
Rant- I'm super annoyed at my FIL's wife. I realize that she is in a hard position because DH's mother died and we miss her. But come on she could at least try to be compassionate to us. (mil died 4 years ago, she married fil one year ago, wants us to be the Brady bunch with her kids, who are all also adults. It's not working and apparently it is all my fault). We told them last night thinking they would be excited. Fil was. His wife just looked at me and asked if it was a good idea to be telling people. grrrr.
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? I would love to take a vacation. We were talking about going away between Christmas and New Years, but it think it is a better idea to save money at this point. Depending on what maternity time I get we may go somewhere after the baby is born.
How far along are you? 4w4d
How are you feeling? Good! I don't feel pregnant at all.. Maybe tired, maybe sore nipples?
Rants/Raves? Waiting on my second beta numbers.. I'm nervous!!
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? I'd like to go on another cruise to anywhere! Before baby number one we did a lot of traveling!
*TB keeps saving my drafts randomly then when I go to post only half of what I put gets posted!!
How are you feeling? Good! I have sore boobs, and some very mild increased hunger and tiredness. But other than that I feel perfectly normal.
Rants/Raves? I have an appointment this Friday to look forward to! I have high iron so we're going to talk about that, and schedule the first ultrasound. I'm so excited! Also, I have the Ovia app, and today it told me my baby is now the size of a lavender bud haha.
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? We had talked about Hawaii as a "babymoon," so I'm hoping we can pull that off in February. I've also always wanted to stay at a resort in Utah; it looks so beautiful there! I'd love to go in early spring and do some hiking.
How are you feeling? Just super tired. Had a migraine yesterday, but so far so good today
Rants/Raves? I have too many papers to grade, so I am on here for creative avoidance
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? I will earn a free trip to Hawaii from my direct sales company, so we will be heading to Maui in March!
How are you feeling? Today has been a morning sickness day. We have a cafeteria at work and it's HORRIBLE!!! I hate people that bring and microwave fish for lunch!! I nearly lost it walking to the table with other co-workers. I'm actually happy to finally be feeling some MS because it's been very mild so far, and beginning to feel it means that i'm still in the game. These first few weeks are so stressful. I started making a registry just to keep myself distracted. I think it works because there is SO MUCH STUFF to sift through and figure out what the best one for you is. Strollers are a nightmare!
Rants/Raves? I told my boss and he seems super duper excited for me. He keeps asking me how i'm feeling and giving me little bits of encouragement that others wouldn't know what it is. I think he may actually be more supportive than my own husband.
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? We have a cruise planned for Dec 26 through Jan 2nd and another beginning Feb 2. We live in Central IL and this is our way of escaping the cold!! I am very much looking forward to them both!
How are you feeling? My mouth tastes TERRIBLE. Like I am being forced to suck a chemical laden cough drop. I have no idea what this is about but it's horrid. Started sometime this morning. I don't know if eating will make it better or worse. Drinking doesn't seem to help. Other than that feeling super bloated. Boobies are a little sore but not terrible.
Rants/Raves? Waiting on repeat labs. If they don't call me by 3:15 I'm calling them. The last time they forgot to call me and I had to wait overnight. Not happening again today!!!!
GTKY: We bought a new house not that long ago and need soooo much in the way of furniture and accessories we probably won't be taking any trips. I'm frankly OK with this. A staycation would be nice right now & I would rather have paint and a rug for my dining room for Thanksgiving. We have done a fair amount of travel in the last few years.

No idea, I'm thinking in between 4-5 weeks
How are you feeling?
a tiny bit nauseous, sore boobs, heartburn, exhausted, and holy moly am I EMOTIONAL. I'm usually very even tempered but the past few days I either want to cry or scream at people HA
Rants/Raves?
Since we just had a miscarriage 2 months ago, we are very worried about this pregnancy. BUT I'm annoyed at the things people who knew about the miscarriage are saying (i.e. my FIL: "you better go lay down right now"-as if i caused the miscarriage; "you guys probably shouldn't tell anyone this time"-like a miscarriage is something to be ashamed of) Again, I'm overly emotional, but I want to tell people to just BE HAPPY FOR ME DANG IT!
How are you feeling? Yesterday I had such bad nausea at work and was super bloated. Today I didn't have either which means they will probably come in waves. I have had a dull ache in my lower back for the past few days. Has anyone else had this? And my nipples are sore.
Rants/Raves? I had my bloods done today as my doctor wanted me to check my thyroids before I got pregnant and she's asked me to still do it due to risk of miscarriage. Now I'm freakinng out!
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? I'm from the UK but we are looking to go someone in Europe before the baby comes. We've been to the Maldives and Dubai this year so can't really complain.
How are you feeling? Eh. Sore boobs. Grumpy. Food aversions. I wish I felt like throwing up! That would make me feel better.
Rants/Raves? I can't find the right pastry to eat. I made DH finish 3 for me today because it wasn't exactly what I wanted. They are bakeries everywhere in Prague... I am going to have to venture into downtown tomorrow for the right bakery
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? Well as DH are finishing our last month and a half in Europe, we have a pretty big trip planned -- we'll visit Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Southern France, Spain, possibly Portugal, back to France, England, then Belgium where we fly out of on Dec 14. Then we'll start saving money for the babe.

How are you feeling? Doing Ok, Very Sore Boobs, some cramping and very tired. I've had a few waves of nausea. Not sure if it's a symptom, but yesterday and today I am incredibly thirsty.
How are you feeling? Feeling pretty great so far. I do have sore boobs and some light cramping every once in a while. I am also breaking out on my face and chest. Is that normal for this early?
Rants/raves: I'm just super excited and hoping thins continue to go smoothly and we have no complications.
GTKY: We want to take a baby moon but we might have a desintation wedding in Bermuda to go to...I'll take it!!!!
How are you feeling? Today has been the best day in the past week: cramping has calmed down, my boobs are huge but don't hurt... I guess I'm a little tired!
Rants/Raves: Everything smells. Everything. I commute on the subway in Philly. EVERYTHING SMELLS.
GTKY: I'd love a babymoon/long weekend somewhere in the south, like Charleston, SC!
5W3D
>How are you feeling
Like I am not even pregnant.
Rants/raves:
My doc doesn't make first OB apts until 8-10 weeks so I don't see him until Dec 7! I mean I know there isn't much he can do for me before then but it's so far away:(
">GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date?
California or Seattle!
How are you feeling? Ok - really stressy at the moment. Symptoms - nausea, tiredness but insomnia, cramps in the evening
Rants/Raves? I am really nervous at the moment and wish I could stop worrying so much.
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? We are off to Canada to spend Christmas with our family - that is likely to be our final trip before baby arrives
How are you feeling? ugh just awful this morning. Woke up around 5am all hot and nausea took a warmish shower to cool down. Also took some tums to try and help but it didn't do much. Put on my seabands so hopefully it wont get any worse and was finally able to eat an apple around noon. Other than that tired and back pain.
Rants/Raves? Told my family Sunday with DD wearing a Big Sister shirt. Everyone was so excited. Now just have to tell DHs family which wont be until Thanksgiving cause he wants to do it in person.
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? meh last time we went to the coast this time i just want to curl up and sleep
How are you feeling? Tired. So very tired.
Rants/Raves? This is going to sound so very selfish, but I had to buy clothes for the fall because I have none, and between the hormones and the bloat, I saw myself in the mirror and I just got super sad. Obviously this is more than likely normal because I'm not far enough long to have a nice firm baby belly, but I just got really sad.
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? I would really love to go to Seattle, we are still going to go to Toranto for New Years, so a little tiny bit of traveling. We just got back from Aruba for our honeymoon in Aug.
Married: May 16th 2015
I'm feeling ok. I've been really tired and bloated, and work has been stressing me out a lot so that just makes me feel worn out. Not too much nausea yet, but more indigestion than anything.
I don't really feel like traveling anywhere between now and then, honestly. All that I can think of is how tired I am, lol. But my bucket list travel places are all in Europe. I want to go back to Germany and Ireland some day, those have been two of my favorite places.
How are you feeling? Nervous, happy, scared, and thrilled... all at once. Sore boobs. Pinching in ovary area on side I ovulated from. Exhausted by the evening, but I think that may be from the time change. Gas/BM's can't decide if they want to be out of control or not. Today I've been hungry nonstop.
Rants/Raves? I'll agree with everyone else and wish I could stop being so nervous. After a very early chemical pregnancy/MC in August (first month of trying and first month of IUD before first period), I'm doubting my body's ability to do this. It is stealing the joy out of these first early moments and I'm not sure how to stop it.
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? Honestly, we probably won't travel beforehand. I only will have about 8 weeks of paid leave saved up, so if we have any extra money it'll go towards extra maternity leave.
How are you feeling? Super, crazy nauseous..ALL day and night
Rants/Raves? My nausea is horrible, I've been trying every natural remedy possible. I also am super anxious for my first appmnt at 8 weeks.
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? I actually had a trip to Europe booked, turns out it is landing on my due date, so hopefully I can move it up a couple months
How far along are you? 4w 6d
How are you feeling? Cautiously optimistic. Slightly dizzy but otherwise good. I had a chemical pregnancy at this point a year ago so I am waiting another day before I tell the OB.
Rants/Raves? Rave: My DH made me breakfast and is planning dinner and is really excited about eating healthy.
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? Just got back from Maui - will probably be couch bound for a while.
How are u feeling: fatigue and crampy! And I have crazy dreams but I'm on progesterone which is also a symptom of that.
Rants/raves: I had a m/c in June so I'm not super hopeful (or dreadful) about this pregnancy. I just want to get to the u/s in three weeks so I'm past where I got to last time. Super crampy though! I don't get period cramps so I'm nervous this isn't normal severity. And lastly, my beta numbers are so much stronger than our first round so, although that doesn't always indicate anything I'm choosing to find comfort in those!!
GTKY: Hawaii!!! But we already have a trip planned to Florida for two weeks in March so that will likely be our baby moon instead. Who am I kidding, I can't complain!!
How are you feeling? Normal. I've felt pretty normal since I got my first BFP 10dpo and it is now 14dpo. I was convinced I was pregnant from the symptoms I was having. It feels weird to have all of the symptoms go away.
Rants/Raves? Just nervous about MC or CP. My official test date is in 2 days with my RE.
GTKY: Where is one place you want to visit before your due date? We just want to escape to the beach for one last time without children. Our annual family vacation will likely be when the baby is only a few weeks old and I doubt we would get much beach time at that point!
Did anyone else not feel anything around the 4week mark? I don't know why that makes me nervous.
