How are you feeling? I tend to have a high heart rate (like 104) and low blood pressure (100/70ish) during early pregnancy, and the racing heart makes me feel anxious.
Rants/raves or positive vibes: Have my first doctor's appointment this afternoon, exciting
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? (stolen from another board) I'm not sure about a trend making a comeback. I hope leggings stay in style forever because they are so comfortable. I hate the trend of the super light pink/whiteish lipstick or lipstick that matches a person's skin tone. A friend's sister always wears lipstick like this and I think it looks awful even though she's a beautiful girl.
How are you feeling? I've had strep throat all week and the antibiotics have kicked in so compared to how I've been, I'm great!! It's been hard to determine what symptoms were due to being so sick or the pregnancy, or both! Glad to be on the road to recovery,
Rants/raves or positive vibes: **loss mentioned** I asked my doctor to be put on progesterone yesterday for my own peace of mind since my mc in September. He gave me the thumbs up for oral progesterone and I'm so happy about it. We don't know what the cause of the mc was so who knows if progesterone was a problem (as of 4 days ago my progesterone was 17 which my doctor said was great) but it just helps me feel like I'm doing something, even if I'm not. And it can't hurt either way.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? (stolen from another board) SELFIES. I'm okay with some selfies like a cute picture with a friend or the occasional cute smiley photo of yourself but I get really annoyed with the constant photos teens take of themselves striking model poses. And post five of them a day. It probably bothers me more so because I feel our society is becoming more self absorbed by the day. But hey, to each their own! I can't take a cute selfie to save my life anyway
Thanks @MsBeachNJ and @matryoshkadoll My coworker said his wife had cramping and bleeding for 7 months of her pregnancy, which made me feel a little better about it, but I definitely won't feel ok about it until a doctor tells me that everything is ok.
How are you feeling? Like balls. Spend most of my time wondering if I need to eat or puke. It's like Russian roulette. Also hubs gave me a cold so I am 2x miserable this week.
I'd second the ball-like feeling. I imagine that it's very droopy indeed.
How are you feeling? Like my baby is attacking me from the inside. Today's weapon is heartburn.
Rants/raves or positive vibes: looking forward to the weekend
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? (stolen from another board) come back: music with actual lyrics rather than grunts. And I wish patterned leggings would die unless you're under the age of 7
@nolietrex your Thanksgiving foods description just made me so hungry!
How far along are you? 4 weeks today
How are you feeling? pretty much fine, but I have been getting a little lightheaded right after I eat. And my boobs hurt.
Rants/raves or positive vibes: DH referred to the baby as "little nugget" this morning, and I thought it was so cute that I almost teared up. Pregnancy hormones are weird.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? (stolen from another board) Definitely agree that crop tops can stay gone forever and ever. I wish some of the styles from the 50s and 60s would come back, and really just the general idea of people dressing up to go out. In my city you can go into any really nice restaurant and half the people will be in jeans. I demand more men in suits!!

How are you feeling? Nausea started on Monday and has progressively gotten worse as the week has gone one..it kind of hangs on until mid afternoon but by then I'm just exhausted! Also super easily annoyed...my 22 kindergarten students have been driving me crazy all week when normally they don't.
Rants/raves or positive vibes: I got DH the book Dude You're Going to be a Dad and wasn't expecting him to start reading it so soon, but he texted me today about some of the things he read, that made me really happy!
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? (stolen from another board) Definitely agree that crop tops and high waisted shorts and pants can stay away forever along with man buns. I think it would be fun to bring back bell bottoms!
How are you feeling? Overall good. My symptoms are sore breasts and breathlessness. I was talking to my coworker and she too experienced this in the first trimester, so I don't feel like a crazy person. Apparently it's due to the progesterone and is not anything to worry about, though at times it feels like a panic attack. I just hope it goes away soon.
Rants/raves or positive vibes: Work was ridiculously busy today and I was very stressed. I hate days like that. Also, I'm making pot roast for dinner and my recipe calls for 2 cups of wine, and I decided to sub beef broth for it. I couldn't find any substantial evidence that cooking with alcohol is ok in the first trimester, so I figured I wouldn't risk it (especially with that amount of alcohol). I hope it comes out good!
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? (stolen from another board)I wish flare/bootcut jeans would come back. I feel so self conscious in skinny jeans most of the time. Anyone remember in the 90's when guys used to shave things into the side of their head? That should stay in the 90's!
Edit to my "how are you feeling?" Answer: like TRASH! I had a slight fever earlier this evening. It seems to have broken, probably thanks to a little Tylenol. My cold seems to be subsiding a little bit now as well. I really should take tomorrow off, but I have no sub plans so... #suckitup
How are you feeling? Great! Working out, actually have more energy... Did get hit with my first huge wave of nausea in the middle of teaching a lesson, almost had to make a run for it.
Rants/raves or positive vibes: I hate the people in my office, but I adore my students! I also got my blood results with a week estimation today!
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? (stolen from another board)
I love big sweaters and leggings, hate super short dresses that are made for adults! Why can't I get a dress that's between slutty and grandmaish!
How am I feeling: no nausea. I am tired and easily fatigued. Scatterbrained. Bloated and constipated. Sore breath (even after having 3, they still grow, itch and hurt). Overall, fairly mild symptoms as is typical for me. I'm lucky!
Rants or positive vibes: I don't like to air dirty laundry in public so I'll focus on the positive. After having the craziest year to date in the short 8 relationship history between my hubby and I, things are settling down and we have a great family support system. Our girls have been such good sports with the changes they have experienced. Good examples of adapting to change! They are ages 6, 5, and 3, and they drive me crazy and cause my heart to burst with love every day!
Fad I wish would disappear: I know I have some pet-peeves, but my scattered brain is blocking any thoughts to those matters right now! I should really get off social media and go to bed!
