TTM - EDD 4/23 - Team Green 
Re: Fri-yay! Symptoms
How are you feeling? Pretty good this week! Still falling asleep at like 9pm but I'm doing pretty good with the other symptoms, aside from the allergy to all of my good jewelry now - is anyone else experiencing this? Its AWFUL!
Rants/Raves? See above, I just wanna wear my wedding rings, earrings, necklaces etc. without breaking out in a horrid rash.
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? Tonight DH and I will have a little date night out at one of our favorite restaurants, Pumpkin Ravioli for me! Can't wait. Tomorrow night is going to be the hard part. I'm going out to dinner with my 3 sisters & 1 cousin and there will be a lot of drinking.... we're going to a martini bar so I'm going to try to do what I did last week & Call the restaurant ahead of time & have them tip the waiter off to only serve me non alcoholic "Martinis" (essentially juice in a fancy glass). I REALLY hope I don't get caught for a number of reasons, 1, I would love to say that my sisters will all be happy for me, but they are all dealing with their own situations right now surrounding kids (one wants another while her husband unequivocally does not) the other is turning 40 and is single so she feels like the opportunity for her to ever have kids (SHOULD she decide that she even wants them) is minimal.... 2, I'm waiting until after our first appointment to tell anyone, including our parents, I would HATE for my sisters to find out ahead of time and ruin the surprise for my parents 3, I would want my husband to be there & enjoy the announcement with me and that will be taken away if they find out. So FX for me everyone that I can pull this off!!
How are you feeling? very lighted recently today. Not really sure why.
Rants/Raves? See above. Oh and breast are very tender again today.
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? We have taco night with DH family tomorrow and a brunch for my friends birthday Sunday. Let's see how well I can pull of not drinking this weekend!
How are you feeling? burping like crazy, sleeping all the time and today i woke up and the thought of food is repulsive. i still packed a lunch in case i feel like eating later.
Rants/Raves? nothing today
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? nothing really planned just a couple of ideas the fore runner is sleep on the couch but there's a craft fair i might go to.
How are you feeling? Feel okay today. I had the tiniest bit of pink cm yesterday and had a (not so) mini meltdown but it was only there once and I haven't seen it again.
Rants/Raves? H is being a butthead today which is great. I also have an interview later today which I'm not really looking forward to it.
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? I work all weekend. Boo!
Exhausted. Nauseous. Bloated.
Rant. My 5yr old is home sick today. I am having the hardest time keeping myself together when he starts throwing up. Having a sick kiddo during 1st tri nausea sucks.
I was going to "try" to get caught up with some housework but with H working, sick kiddo, and me being so tired I doubt that's happening.
, 💙💙💙💙💙💙
How are you feeling? Felt great last night and okay this morning. Starting to feel a little sick now but not too bad.
Rants/Raves? DS is sick with the flu and has been home since Wednesday. DH also works all weekend.
GTKY: What are your weekend plans?
Nothing tonight. We have a friend that is in a play so we are going to see that tomorrow night. Then hopefully Sunday we will just rest.
How are you feeling? Moody as can be, bloated, and super hungry all of a sudden
Rants/Raves? I'm annoyed with myself for not focusing better at work. Also I hate feeling like the laziest person at my gym, but I want to protect the seamonkey. Watching other people lift to failure and push through exhaustion was hard today, plus I really wanted to climb the rope- I JUST learned to do rope climbs successfully before getting pregnant. Before this I was rapidly improving and now I just feel like I'm stuck and phoning it in. Yep perfect form at #75... not supposed to go up to #85 even though I know I could do it, but I wasn't doing it before so now I'm not supposed to
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? So much sleeping! We'll probably do the usual- run errands, eat brunch, and see a movie Saturday. Sunday maybe something more adventurous like frisbee golf or taking the dogs somewhere for a long walk.
Still nervous this won't stick. Otherwise tired, feel like a whale after I eat (and not the cute Vineyard Vines kind!), but nothing major yet.
No rants or raves.
No plans and IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME!!! Maybe a hike if it's not too cold. Take the dogs to the dog park. Who knows.
How are you feeling? I'm actually ok at the moment. Though I don't really want to admit that since when I did the other day I spent the day miserable. I'm really tired but getting up to pee at 3 am and not going back to sleep is not helping that!
Rants/Raves? Mostly bummed that I have to see my FIL's wife and entitled children tomorrow night. I have made a deal with DH that we will stay until she says two bitchy comments to me, and I get to judge if they are bitchy. Luckily he doesn't like her either so that helps. DH is normally a very passive guy, non confrontational. I on the other hand have a sick pleasure with being confrontational. But since our wedding (not the 9 years prior that we dated) DH has gotten more and more protective, now that im pregnant DH is UBER protective and has started to become the confrontational one. its strange, and it's taken some time to get used to. But I think i like it ;-)
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? Tonight we are going to my SIL's to give her a birthday present which includes telling her that we are expecting. (not sure how she will respond, expecting the worst JIC). Tomorrow morning we are going to my parents house to celebrate my fathers birthday (and I will be telling my brother). Then we will have dinner at my FIL's for my SIL's birthday. Sunday we are going to brunch with some friends, then having some friends at the house with their 4 month old. Im mostly excited to get some baby time!!
How are you feeling? Pretty good, just bloated by the afternoon and mild headache that comes and goes.
Rants/Raves? Missing story time at library again this week because of my babysitting schedule. I hate that it always changes each week, but the mom is a nurse, so not much can be done.
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? Sewing class tomorrow! I'm making leggings for DD and I with my new serger. I love leggings and I can't wait to make DD a bunch in all the fun patterns!
How are you feeling? Cramping woke me up this morning, but other than that I'm feeling pretty great.
Rants/Raves? We are in Mexico for a wedding right now and the drinks are flowing and I keep having to say no. A friend that I haven't seen in about 8 years mentioned that he noticed I wasn't drinking, but thankfully didn't ask why. Virgin margaritas are not as good as the real thing :-(
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? Spending the rest of the weekend in Mexico :-)
How are you feeling? Great!
Rants/Raves? Having a hard time concentrating on work, as usual... but I'm supposed to be writing two very important essays and so stress is mounting as the deadline draws nearer. Ugh.
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? My husband has a conference in Montreal, so we're flying there tomorrow morning and coming back next Thursday! Can't wait
How are you feeling? Great overall just a bit tired. I have some waves of starving that will then go away. My stomach is a bit off today... Not sure if I'd really call it nausea.
Rants/Raves? I've really been struggling with the anxiety of an MC. Trying to just appreciate and soak up the blessing of carrying our little one, but sometimes it overwhelms me. I cried on my drive in to work and then gave the little Appleseed a stern talking to that (s)he is to behave himself/herself.
I felt pretty nauseous this morning and it almost made me late to work. I thought about calling in sick just because I didn't know how bad it would get and I don't want my students suspecting anything, but I went in anyway. Thankfully it died down.
Still nervous about my next scan on Friday, but I'm freaking out less than I was yesterday.
I'm going to try to build some countertops for my mom's basement kitchen tonight, so we'll see how that goes. DH invited some coworkers over for a game night tomorrow so I have to clean the house and make dinner for that. I've only briefly met them, so I'm hoping it isn't terribly awkward. Then I'm taking family photos for a friend after church Sunday. Way busier weekend than I usually like :P
How are you feeling? Still pretty good. Have to eat constantly or I'm nauseous - desk is stocked with lots of snacks now, though.
Rants/Raves? Rant - I think I'm going to start sleeping downstairs because we're having our master bathroom remodeled which means there's no toilet in there at the moment.
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? Nothing tomorrow, but we're going to an apple festival on Sunday with my sis and niece. Here's to hoping I don't feel like crap while I'm there!
DD #2: EDD July 2016
How are you feeling? Feeling great minus the exhaustion but with my destructive 15 month old on my hands, I have a feeling I would be equally exhausted not being pregnant as well. I am soaking up every second of feeling great before the MS hits any day now!
Rants/Raves? I got nothing this week!
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? We just moved into our new townhome a couple weeks back so we still need to get the garage/workshop organized/cleaned so hopefully we can knock that out!
How are you feeling? Pretty nauseous today, actually. I almost puked during lecture. I ran to the bathroom just in case and ended up just spitting into the toilet because I was salivating so much and it was not helping. Preggie pop drops and squeezing my earlobe (acupressure point) helped me hold it together.
Rants/Raves? I've been really looking forward to week 5, that's when organs start springing up and it starts taking shape. I feel like I've been week 4 for everrrrrrr. Also my first appointment is two weeks from yesterday and I can't wait.
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? Going maternity clothes shopping tonight because I have a code for 30% off at Macy's (if you have their credit card, it's THANKS30 and it's good til the 8th). We should really go to a friend's birthday get together but I don't think we will. Past that, going to relax mostly and catch up on stuff. I've been so tired.
BFP #2 3/21 EDD 11/28/16
How are you feeling? Completely exhausted today and i have to go to work soon
Rants/Raves? I'll probably have the same rant until my appointment happens. So impatient i just want to see the doctor and know everythings going as it should. This is my first pregnancy so i'm still in "awe" that i'm pregnant (took another test today and got an instant BFP). I also just want to sleep. Last few days i toss and turn for most of the night and then i'm waking up crazy early. Well early to me since i dont go to sleep till after midnight and my body's been waking me up around 8am :-(
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? Tomorrow morning my mom and I are going shopping for pants/leggings. NONE of my jeans fit. Then work in the evening then sunday morning my FI and I have an appointment to view a local venue. :-D then work afterwards
Me: 27
Fiance: 29
Step kids: 9&7
How are you feeling? Today, it's been weird. I woke up completely feeling normal, like after you have a period and everything fits again,and you feel full of energy. I am peeing a lot, or at least I think a lot? I still don't know how often peeing frequently actually means frequently. Is it normal to have good days?
Rants/Raves? Getting nervous about our first dr appointment next tuesday, I figured it will be just a lot of info and telling me what I should and should not be doing, that I really don't need 3 of those boston creme pie jello cups at night(they're small and three really count as one serving). I hope they do fun stuff, at least maybe an ultra sound to see the acorn. My husband and I are wating for medical comformation that there's something in there. I want to be excited, I want to know that those 12 picture books I've bought the last two weeks I can stop hiding them in my dresser drawer.
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? Hubs is supposed to have a guys night, but I'm hoping it gets canceled because I'm a horrible host right now. I go to bed at 8pm, I barely make it up the stairs when he wakes me up from crashing on the couch. I would rather go to my aunts and not have to even cook a meal.
Married: May 16th 2015
How are you feeling? Tired!! And hungry.. Maybe I just think about food a lot so I keep eating all day.
Rants/Raves? I'm telling my family this weekend!
GTKY: What are your weekend plans: we are going to Disney World this weekend/next week!! My sisters, their kids, and the grandparents are all meeting in Florida for a fun filled week! DD is going to wear her Big Sis shirt one day and surprise everyone!
How are you feeling? Not much of an appetite and I am tired all the time! Feels like I haven't slept in a week
Rants/raves--none
GTKY- what are your weekend plans? I am taking the kids to Disney on ice tonight so that will be fun!
How are you feeling? Nauseous ALL DAY. Nothing sounds good to eat but still very hungry every couple of hours. Other than that, no symptoms. But I'd take the being exhausted and cramps from week 4 over this anyday
Feeling? VERY bloated & semi tender girls. If I stop moving for very long I feel like I could nap. Also pretty hungry. I'm trying to keep portions in check but eat every few hours.
Weekend plans: My step sister is in town visiting for the weekend. Some quality time with her! I am going to do my best to avoid telling her or my Mom & Step-Dad. Will use the fertility doc/meds as the excuse for why I am not drinking. Hopefully I can lie well.

4+6
Well, yesterday was the first non-functional day I've had so far. Today has been better, but I've been setting a timer to eat every 2 hours... But to sum it up. Holy cramps. Headache. Starving all the time but the thought of any food makes me gag (except for the tuna melt that sounded amazingggg... Until halfway through it). Exhausted, until last night when insomnia struck.
It's Friday and my workday got canceled, so I was able to scoop up an ADORABLE Halloween onesie on clearance and some Preggie drops before plopping onto the couch.
Brunch with some out of town friend tomorrow and I'm hoping the nausea can behave while I'm there. Sunday I get new tires from Costco! Woo for adulting!
5w 4d
How are you feeling?
Yucky! So nauseous. Until late in the evening. And maybe this is tmi but diarrhea. It sucks.
Rants/Raves?
My dh has been wonderful. So understanding when all I want to do is sleep.
GTKY: What are your weekend plans?
My mother in law is coming to stay fire the weekend. We're going to try to keep this a secret from her. We plan on telling our families together next weekend.
How are you feeling? Grumpy as hell. My boobies are so sore. And everything stinks!
Rants/Raves? The days feel like they are creeping by! I have my first ultrasound on Monday and I just want it to be here already. On the flip side I should be enjoying the last few days in Prague... I am really going to miss living here.
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? We saw a movie tonight and dinner at our favorite burger restaurant. Other than that, we're packing up our flat to leave on Monday. We might go to the Zoo. It is suppose to be one of the best but I am not a huge fan of captive animals, so I may just end up crying while I am there.

My blog: www.wearethehammitts.blogspot.com
How are you feeling? Less nauseous today...but I don't work today, so I keep wondering if all my nausea is because my job makes me want to vomit.
Rants/Raves? Not much to say!
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? I planned to visit a friend out of town, but she ended up learning that she has to work late tonight, so I changed my plans...so, no big plans now! The weather where I live is not so great, so I'm really not sure what I'll be doing!
How far along are you? 5w today
How are you feeling? Good, except for the exhaustion that sets in at 7pm. Twice now I have fallen asleep before 9:30pm. I can't fight it!
Rants/Raves? Really want to share with family, but still keeping it under wraps for a while.
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? DH is home and off work all weekend, which almost never happens. Sleeping in, brunch, grocery shopping, & lots of naps to fill our days
How are you feeling? Nausea is better today...I think I ate a little more and gum has been helping
Rants/Raves? I'm trying to see the nausea as a confirmation that I'm still pregnant so I stop taking HPTs, haha.
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? We are babysitting our friends kiddo, which is kind of funny because they've never asked and the first time they do is after we find out I'm KU, they don't know, but just funny. Guess it'll be practice. Then we have a housewarming Prohibition themed party, I will be playing the DD card.
5w 5d
How are you feeling?
Tired! So tired. I went up 1 flight of stairs at work today and wanted to take a nap after. Also feeling sore in my lower abdomen. Like right below my bellybutton. Its so weird and hard to describe. Luckily no nausea yet, but I have NO appetite. Simply not interested in food!
Rants/Raves?
I miss the feeling of enjoying/wanting food :-(
GTKY: What are your weekend plans?
Sleeeeeeeeep! Lots of rest!
How are you feeling? I feel fine just a little extra tired!
Rants/Raves? I have to go to a bachelorette party out of town this weekend and I'd really rather stay home with dh and ds!
GTKY: going to NYC for this Bach party! Blah don't feel like it, wanna stay home and relax! I also don't want to tell everyone there so I think I have to fake drink! Like order a mimosa then pretend to go to the bathroom and tell the waiter to bring me just oj! It's going to be an expensive weekend too which I regret now knowing we have another lo on the way! I also hate being around drunk ppl when sober and the brides got some interesting friends...
How are you feeling? Fine. I was a bit headachy and tired today but I've been working a ton and just got my flu shot so pretty sure it's not pregnancy related
Rants/Raves? I'm finding it so different compared to my first pregnancy. We're really happy/excited but it's not an all-consuming thing like with DD. I've found myself forgetting and then having sudden realizations all day that I'm actually pregnant, whereas last time I couldn't think of anything else. I guess with a toddler and working it's easy to get distracted! Hopefully it helps these 9 months go by more quickly!
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? Chill day tomorrow, then visiting MIL in the next town over Sunday
How far along are you? 4w3d
How are you feeling? Headaches, heartburn and hives, my three favorite Hs
Rants/Raves? First of all, Tylenol sucks, thanks for doing nothing to my headache. I know Motrin would fix it in 15 minutes. Also I was hoping to avoid the hives this time around but it looks like a no go. So last time I broke out in horrible hives before I even knew I was pregnant. My allergist ran every tests under the sun and I am not allergic to anything, literally nothing. Nothing except my unborn child. What the hell! My hives went away within hours of delivery. I was really hoping it wouldn't happen again but it looks like they are back, not as horrible but still there. Stupid hives!
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? Nothing and I love it! Going to Montana for 10 days next week though and that should be fun!
How are you feeling? Terrified? Shocked. Definitely shocked. Not sick or anything yet.
Rants/Raves? I seriously had given up on this ever happening for us....so I'm still picking myself up off the floor.
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? Well, this morning we planned a spur of the moment trip to a nearby city to explore for the weekend...and now we just saw the most exciting lines of my life. I think we're still going....but, WHOA.
How are you feeling? nausea, sore boobs, emotional, exhausted
Rants/Raves? My sisters took me out for my birthday tonight and I felt like party pooper! I was nauseated, tired, no appetite and just wanted to be at home in my bed. But I tried my best to enjoy the night. The are aware of the pregnancy so they were understanding.
