Ticker Change Tuesday

I know we discussed starting this up, but I haven't seen it done yet, so I thought I would get it going.  Feel free to give other suggestions.

For all those new to BMB - Ticker Change days are for those who turn a new week that day. For example, I turned 6 weeks today (Tuesday), so I would participate on Tuesdays.

How Many Weeks?

What size is baby (fruit / vegetable or other)?

How are you feeling?

First Ultrasound / appt update?

GTKY:  Whats your favorite food to eat on Thanksgiving?

    How Many Weeks? 7!!

    What size is baby (fruit / vegetable or other)? Will edit to add after I look at the ticker from this post LOL -- ETA blueberry! 

    How are you feeling? Feeling okay. Up till two days ago I have had amazing sleep and I am worried my restless nights have begun. I am very easily annoyed when I don't get enough sleep.

    First Ultrasound / appt update? 11/30!!!

  • @oandmplus1 Congrats on week 6!  I am right there with you.  Excited to be on this journey together! 

    How many weeks?  Today I am exactly 6w0d. 

    What size is baby?  We have a little sweet pea.  Excited for our scan on 12/1 to see how baby is measuring up. 

    How are you feeling?  Overall, I am so happy.  We weren't going to start TTC until next month, but I found out I was already pregnant at my obgyn right before a pap.  I have had daily cramping (zero spotting) that is relatively mild and feels a lot like PMS.  My breasts are extremely sore.  I'm usually either freezing cold or sweaty hot - rarely in between the two.  I have been getting pretty terrible sleep, but my spirits are still high.  I haven't been moody, and morning sickness has yet to rear her ugly head...  One annoying note is that the week before I found out I was pregnant, which would have made me 3 weeks along, I had a terrrrrible cold.  Extreme exhaustion and nonstop nasal drip and coughing.  For some reason (intuition maybe?) I took minimal cold meds.  I've continued to struggle in waves, but today I'm worried I'm relapsing. I  have already used 20+ tissues just this morning.  Anyone have any natural home remedies? 

    First Ultrasound/appt update?  My first scan was at my obgyn's office when I got my BFP.  I was exactly 5 weeks according to my LMP, and I got to take home a picture.  Our little bean was just a teeny little spec, no real yoke or anything to see.  We have our next appt at 7 weeks (12/1) to verify pregnancy.  Anxious to make sure everything is okay, but I'm trying hard not to worry until there is something tangible to worry about.  Trusting my body knows what to do!

    GTKY:  My favorite food at Thanksgiving is usually ham, but I recently became a pescatarian last June. Not sure how I'm going to handle the holidays this year... The good news is that pumpkin pie is my close second favorite, and there won't be anything stopping me from eating that!

  • How Many Weeks? 8

    What size is baby (fruit / vegetable or other)?  cerise confite (or maraschino cherry)

    How are you feeling? Extremely tired, nauseous all day, and stressed about not being productive at work.

    First Ultrasound / appt update? I had my first ultrasound last week, and my next appointment is on December 4.

    GTKY:  Whats your favorite food to eat on Thanksgiving? Stuffing! But Thanksgiving for me happened on October 12 lol 
  • How Many Weeks? 7

    What size is baby (fruit / vegetable or other)? Blueberry

    How are you feeling? I've been extremely tired for a while so that's old hat at this point. I wasn't feeling nauseous at all...until a couple days ago. I haven't gotten sick and can still eat pretty normally, so hoping it doesn't change.

    First Ultrasound / appt update? 11/30, less than a week to go!

    GTKY:  Whats your favorite food to eat on Thanksgiving? All the foods! I love stuffing and mashed potatoes especially, but we're doing deep fried turkey this year, so looking forward to that too

  • Thanks @jayray13  Congrats to you too!


    How Many Weeks? 6w

    What size is baby (fruit / vegetable or other)? sweet pea (side note: when I told DH that this morning he said "sounds yummy".   weirdo).   Ovia says baby is the size of a popping firecracker

    How are you feeling? yesterday was horrible nausea.  Today just bloated and exhausted.

    First Ultrasound / appt update?  I had my first ultrasound last Thursday (saw yolk and gestational sac).  Second ultrasound scheduled in two weeks. They still haven't even schedule my nurse visit or first appointment, but ultrasounds are more fun than those anyway.

    GTKY:  Whats your favorite food to eat on Thanksgiving?  Cranberry sauce with Turkey (in that order).

    @chanfa, I just saw that! Same to you! We should check in with each other Monday :) How are you keeping yourself occupied in the meantime? It's driving me nuts. And with Thanksgiving this week, I'm still avoiding telling people (my mom and one of my good friends are the other people besides DH who know), and that kind of sucks. We do a friends' dinner Wednesday night but I'm keeping mum until at least 11/30.

  • @mandyjulie Honestly I am just trying to focus on thanksgiving food prep and Black Friday shopping. By Sunday however, I will probably be going crazy with worry on what I hear on Monday! What time is your appt? Mine is at 8:15am so I can get it out of the way early!

  • How Many Weeks? 8 weeks

    What size is baby (fruit / vegetable or other)? Wild strawberry

    How are you feeling? Not great. I was up until 1 feeling like I was going to be sick. Now I'm exhausted and still feel sick

    First Ultrasound / appt update? I know sometime next week, I think Thursday. I should really know that,but..... Yeah

    GTKY: Whats your favorite food to eat on Thanksgiving?
    All things sound awful, but usually the Turkey.
  • 5 weeks today! Baby is an apple seed, apparently :smile:

    Feeling pretty good today. I'm so bloated, and my back hurts a bit, but overall, not bad! Some days it seems like I have hardly any symptoms which worries the heck out of this FTM....

    First appointment scheduled for 12/14! 4 days after my birthday...woo hoo!

    GTKY: I just want pie. ALL THE PIE. And croissant rolls, too. With a side of pie. :smiley:
  • 6 weeks today :-).

    Baby is the size of a sweet pea.

    Feeling ok. Really uncomfortable with all the bloating. I'm really having to make sure I eat more often than normal or I get really sick. It's funny how you forget to eat while you're chasing a toddler!

    First appointment scheduled for 11/30. Super excited!! Looking forward to sharing it with DD this time around!

    GTKY: sweet potatoes and anything chocolate!
  • @jayray13  I've had great success with my Neti Pot for symptomatic relief when I have a cold.

    Use distilled water, though, as you don't want to be putting just any old water up there.  And definitely use the saline packets---it's hurts without it!

    Also----I usually put my Neti Pot in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes before I use it (and let it cool!), just to be sure no mildew is lurking!

    How Many Weeks? 6

    What size is baby (fruit / vegetable or other)? Sweet pea

    How are you feeling? I'm doing better dealing with exhaustion than I was last week. I continue to have bloating, gas, and constipation. Nausea occurs intermittently, but so far nothing to be upset about. Night sweats every night, even though I'm down to sleeping in my panties. I'm eating like it's going out of style. 

    First Ultrasound / appt update? in 2 weeks! I know that's not a long time, but it's starting to feel like forever. Up until now I wasn't too anxious about something bad happening, but lately my anxiety has gone up and all I want to do is hear that heartbeat and have the doctor tell me everything is normal. I started testing again, which is craze balls, just to give myself some reassurance of the unknown. I'm trying to get back to where I was before and just be thankful everyday that I'm pregnant.

    I love stuffing!!!

    How are you feeling? No energy, I usually hit the gym every morning with energy and now it's a struggle. Very nasceous. I eat and then it takes me hours for my stomach to settle down and develop and appetite again. No throwing up though. Tons of gas and bloating.

    First ultrasound? Dec 1st at 9 weeks

    GTKY what's your favorite food to eat on thanksgiving? This year was turtle cheesecake. Before I was pregnant I ate very very healthy, was super strict on myself, so this year I decided to indulge a little enjoy myself.
