Please put ****QUESTION BELOW**** in front of your comment if you have a question that you want answered!
How far along are you?
How are you feeling?
Rants/Raves?
GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you actually do now that you're a "grown up"?
Re: TUESDAY SYMPTOMS
How are you feeling? Tired, bloated, constipated, sore nipples and boobs. Tired. Tired. Tired.
Rants/Raves? Not a whole lot to rant/rave about today. Just happy to be humping it out again after my lady bits went on the fritz for a while.
GTKY: When I was a kid I wanted to be everything. I changed my mind so many times. Astronaut, teacher, doctor, athletic trainer. You name it, I wanted to be it. I was an ambitious kid. Now that I'm all grown up, I am none of those things. I fell into a career in Project Management, and that is what I've been doing for the past couple of years.
How are you feeling? Pretty good. My throat was sore in the middle of the night, and is still a little sore now. I think maybe it's post nasal drip. I was pretty congested. Yuck! Sore boobs and fatigue are the only real symptoms I have right now. Oh... yeah.. and acne on my chin! x_x
Rants/Raves? I'm feeling pretty down/frustrated today. I'm not sure if it's just me being overly sensitive because of hormones, or if I'm justified in my frustration and sadness with a friend of mine. I just don't know what else to do in this situation other than to never speak of my pregnancy to her. Ever. Every time I do she shuts down and distances herself from me. I've only ever mentioned it twice in the 5 weeks that I've known. Once when I found out, and yesterday when we saw the HB. So it's not like I'm talking about it nonstop. I feel robbed that I can't be happy and share these first experiences w/my best friend. I'm just so upset about this. I don't know what to do.
GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you actually do now that you're a "grown up"? I wanted to be a veterinarian. I ended up being an IT project manager.

What can I say! I have missed the humping it out
How are you feeling? Good. Just tired. Sore nips have decreased some. Little waves of nausea here and there, most noticeable when my stomach is on the empty side.
Rants/Raves? Waiting on the results if my second blood draw. C'mon 75% hcg increase!
Also looking forward to getting back to "humping it out" now that I'm feeling better (haha, @mrsschmity!).
GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you actually do now that you're a "grown up"?
I wanted to be a marine biologist until I realized deep water scared the hell out of me. Then I wanted to be a doctor or surgeon until my first semester of college. Now, I'm a biomedical engineer.
Me: 26 | DH: 27
How are you feeling? I'm hungry and nauseous at the same time. I don't know whether to eat or what. Confusing. Also, tired. I slept like crap last night too. Although I did have a dream about HIO, so maybe that's a sign that I should ignore the blimp feeling and seduce DH? He wouldn't object, I'm sure...
Rants/Raves? Nothing really. Headed to the dentist today. I hate dentists. The idea of them poking my already sensitive gums with the metal pricker thing just makes me shiver.
GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you actually do now that you're a "grown up"? I wanted to be a teacher and ended up being an engineer. My sister's a teacher instead, which is much better since I have no teaching ability/patience at ALL.

Hope you get to feeling better soon!
How are you feeling? TIRED. I went to bed at 8:30 - woke up at 5:45. I think I am napping during my lunch break.
Rants/Raves? Not much. Work is hella busy right now. And I just can't wallow in my exhaustion.
GTKY: I wanted to be a vet SO bad. Then I realized I wouldn't want to put an animal down. So now I'm a project manager in the meetings/events industry.

As much as it stinks, it makes sense in a way as to why she's so distant after reading your story. That being said, jealousy to the extent that she can't share in your joy as your best friend is pretty rough. Perhaps as time goes by she'll be able to make peace with the situation (if she doesn't concieve soon). I'm sorry.
I'm going to have to do the same and start stashing snacks in my purse and car! Just gimme all the food.
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.
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: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you actually do now that you're a "grown up"? I always used to play secretary or teacher with my sisters/friends... but I can't recall ever thinking of what I wanted to be, probably a teacher as my Mom is one, as well as my Aunt. I'm an HR Director instead!

How are you feeling? Hello MS! So tired and just trying to get enough protein because I am having a major aversion to any meat.
Rants/Raves? I guess I wanted to feel pregnant and now I do... Oh well! I should have kept my big mouth shut.
GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you actually do now that you're a "grown up"? I wanted tone a teacher and I'm a school nurse... I just love working with kids!
Baby #2 Due 3/7/20
How are you feeling? AWFUL, until yesterday I was mainly just feeling exhausted. Now on top of the exhaustion MS has shown up. It comes and goes all day long. Major food aversions to anything that is not really bland, also I can't stand anything that I have just eaten...so weird.
Rants/Raves? Ugh, I don't have my first OB appointment until next Friday and the wait is killing me! I am so worried something will be wrong.
GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you actually do now that you're a "grown up"? I wanted to be a Vet until I realized what you actually have to do to animals, so after college I was a Zoo Keeper for a while. That was fun, now I teach at a University.
How are you feeling? So so. Sleeping as often as possible. No appetite at all. Eating because I know I should but nothing really tastes good.
Rants/Raves? Not much here, just ready to like food again. Also DH and I told our parents last week and they are all really excited. We had our first US last week too and I was so happy to see our peanut yet it still doesn't feel real.
GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you actually do now that you're a "grown up"? I wanted to be teacher then a lawyer. I work in HR.
How are you feeling? Gross. Acne all over my face is in full swing and I have no appetite. Nausea comes and goes and I'm SO bloated
Rants/Raves? I literally have worn the same pants to work for almost two weeks...they are the last ones that fit
How are you feeling? Good, tiredness but better than it has been !! Sore boobs on and off. Maybe a little bit TMI but today I've had a little bit snotty discharge no smell and it isn't sore or itchy read online it's normal but it still scared me anybody else had this ?
Rants/Raves? Major food aversions like seriously food I normally love I have no interest in and i know fancy the most random things for me like last night I literally sat and ate a bowl on plain scrambled egg which I would never do normally is it just in my head ?
Many women here have experienced the same thing with the food aversions. I haven't had much of an appetite lately, so I basically eat what I can when I can. Mostly salty/savory foods and cheese that I've been gravitating towards.
How are you feeling? Blech. Yesterday was terrible. I ate fries for dinner because its the only thing I could eat without wanting to hurl. Surprisingly, a workout this morning both helped the nausea go away for a few hours and gave me an appetite for eggs.
Rants/Raves? Why do people on the bus have to smell? Not everyone obviously and I get that my nose is more sensitive but I swear the B.O. on the bus is worse than at the gym. And the smokers breath that comes out when they talk....blech!!!
GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you actually do now that you're a "grown up"? I wanted to be Jane Goodall.
@franky26 mine has been yellowish on certain days. Of course I googled, and there is no itch or smell so I didn't worry! Sounds like your situation.
@kruthie25 same situation. Only two pairs of comfortable pants! I wear dresses some days, but it is getting chilly here so that won't be a possibility for much longer. Also, I'm being cheap and don't want to buy anymore pants until I have an actual bump.
I just went take an hour nap in my car for lunch. Baby is doubling in size this week and taking all of this mommas energy! Thank goodness for understanding husbands. But no for commutes and long days at work.
My symptoms are beginning to fade. Boobs hurt a lot less today and haven't had as much morning sickness lately.
When I was a kid I wanted to be a secretary. In real life I became an elementary teacher. Sometimes I wish I had stuck with the plan. Flipping love filing crap.
How are you feeling?

How are you feeling? Tired. Waves of nausea followed by ravenous hunger. It's hard to decide what to eat because nothing sounds good. Except subway, I've been eating a lot of veggie delites.
Rants/Raves? I think I caught a cold from my kindergartener, which isn't surprising because his class is like a little germ factory. The bad thing is he's still sick and might have to stay home tomorrow which means I won't get my uninterrupted resting time. (I realize this probably sounds incredibly whiny to the ladies who work or have kids at home all day.)
GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you actually do now that you're a "grown up"? I really wanted to be an archeologist. I think because I loved to dig around in dirt haha. I wound up majoring in linguistics and foreign languages, which I loved and now I'm a SAHM.
How are you feeling? Nauseous....so so nauseous
Rants/Raves? I had to do a procedures lab and spent the whole time gagging with a trashcan next to me
GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you actually do now that you're a "grown up"? I wanted to be "a doctor for kids" since before Kindergarten. I'm finishing school to be a family nurse practitioner so I guess it's kind of the same thing haha
No clue some where between 5wk and 10wk. My cycles are crazy and still wont jave my first appointment untill next week even though im high risk.
How are you feeling?
Sick, sore boobs, about 20 times more tired than I was with DD. But excited about my appointment next week, and hoping that all of mu symptoms mean that baby is holding on tight this time.
Rants and raves?
Rave: My hubby did a great job cooking dinner. Rant: i couldnt eat it bc of MS.
GTKY: when you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? And what do you do now that you are grown?
I wanted to be a marine biologist as a kid. And now I am an X-Ray and CT tech.
