WinchesterGirl · December 2015

How far along are you? 5W6D

How are you feeling? Anxious. Still brown spotting. I'm actually not nauseous today, which could be because I switched vitamins yesterday, or who knows.

Doing anything baby related today? Nope.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm just so hoping the spotting stops and goes away for good. I don't know how long it can last and still be ok. I mean, it's still blood coming from somewhere. I do have a good report that I at least did not faint when I had the second blood draw.

Questions?

GTKY- Tell us 1 trait you hope you pass to LO, and one trait you hope you don't pass to LO.
I hope to pass on my love of reading, and my intelligence. I do not hope to pass on my allergies.

carolinw · December 2015

How far along are you? 5W 3D

How are you feeling? Still annoyingly good.

Doing anything baby related today? Nope.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Nothing today!

Questions?

GTKY- Tell us 1 trait you hope you pass to LO, and one trait you hope you don't pass to LO.I hope I pass on my love of the outdoors and me imagination - really hoping these terrible joint genes don't get passed along!

Ekoutie · December 2015

@WinchesterGirl sending positive thoughts your way!

How far along are you? 5w2d

How are you feeling? Pretty good. Still not many symptoms other than sore nipples/breasts that come and go. Also, feeling some twinges and aches on and off which I hate, makes me nervous.

Doing anything baby related today? Nope.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm feeling really good. I kind of feel like I might be having some happy hormones going on because there are times that I'm just elated about everything. I'm very anxious for the next few weeks, but I guess the best thing to do is relax.

Questions? So I know nutrition is important, but when does baby actually start using our nutrients?

GTKY- Tell us 1 trait you hope you pass to LO, and one trait you hope you don't pass to LO. I hope to pass on my love for learning and always trying to learn something new. I hope I do not pass on my constant need to worry.

cait5413 · December 2015

How far along are you? 6w1d

How are you feeling? woke up tired! Yesterday, the queasies hit with a vengeance, though I didn't actually throw up. So far today, it hasn't returned, but I don't think it emerged yesterday until 11 am or so, so we'll see

Doing anything baby related today? I went down a clickhole looking at names and baby registry stuff yesterday, so trying not to do that today

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: starting to get a little nervous about moving, baby arriving, starting a new job and finding childcare in a new city all within the span of a few months.

Questions? none today

GTKY- Tell us 1 trait you hope you pass to LO, and one trait you hope you don't pass to LO.

I hope LO gets my intelligence, and doesn't get my bodyweight issues. I was overweight from my teenage years through college, lost a lot of weight in my early-mid twenties, but it has been creeping back a bit over the last year. DH was a very skinny kid and all through his 20s, so I hope LO gets his metabolism.

amandazap · December 2015

How far along are you?
Maybe 3 weeks?
How are you feeling?
nauseous a lot more that with DS. It's really bad at night. I also have a lot of cramping going on.
Doing anything baby related today?
Just playing with DS once I get home from work!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
T.G.I.F!!!!
Questions?

1 trait to pass-my olive complection

1 trait to not-my curly hair!

babybravesfan · December 2015

How far along are you? 5w4d

How are you feeling? Super tired! My 10 month old is teething and obviously doesn't need as much sleep as her mama. Luckily, my husband got up most of the night with her so I could rest a little more. Oh and the gas. The dreaded gas...

Doing anything baby related today? I've been looking up names and nursery ideas on Pinterest. (Even though we didn't even use my daughter's nursery for the first 6 months after she was born- haha).

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I booked my last photography session of the year for next Friday and I am completely taking off from then until the beginning of the year, so I'm so excited to have a little break.

Questions? Nurp.

GTKY- Tell us 1 trait you hope you pass to LO, and one trait you hope you don't pass to LO. I hope LO gets my personality! I love to dance and sing and just be silly. My husband is more serious and doesn't let loose much. So I hope to have a car full of kids singing to the top of their lungs and finger dancing like fools. What I hope LO doesn't get is, apparently the worst colic in the world thatI had as a baby and passed on to my first LO. My mother always said I would get paid back and I definitely did my time first time around.

bluesky24 · December 2015

WinchesterGirl sending positive vibes and creepy internet hugs -- @cait5413 I feel your anxiety about upcoming life changes. DH and I are moving to another state in June - it'll be a really good move but settling in and getting into a new routine with (hopefully!) a LO coming shortly after will be pretty overwhelming. Trying to take it one day at a time but I'm right there with you!

How far along are you? 4w3d

How are you feeling? OK today...bit more anxious than yesterday but trying to let that go. Feeling a bit nauseous on and off...intense hunger pangs, random cramps which freak me out but I'm mostly fine.

Doing anything baby related today? Today is family holiday party day at work, so there are babies and kids EVERYWHERE! Does that count?

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Woke up at 3am freaked out - maybe I had a bad dream or something...or I was just hungry. Definitely went to the kitchen and took a few spoonfuls of peanut butter to get me through the night...peanut butter always helps everything...I made the mistake of POAS again this morning. The line was just as dark as two days ago. I don't want to drive myself crazy by continuing to do this because it doesn't necessarily mean anything - but it's so hard to not let your mind go there. I wish I could just know either way how this was going to turn out. The lack of control is hard to deal with at times but I'm trying so very hard to stay positive. It helps to vent on here, it really does so thank you all for listening

Questions? None really.

GTKY- Tell us 1 trait you hope you pass to LO, and one trait you hope you don't pass to LO.
I hope my kid gets my "go with the flow" attitude (which is in complete contrast to what I just said above, haha but I swear I am normally very laid back!). I hope my kid grows up to be more organized than I am

Happy Friday everyone!

bonella99 · December 2015

How far along are you? 5w 5d

How are you feeling? Pretty nauseous and tired. Took a B6, and that took the edge off.

Doing anything baby related today? I'm picking up an UppaBaby stroller set that I scored on Craigslist.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm still in the "I can't believe I'm pregnant" honeymoon phase, so even the nausea can't bring me down

Questions?

GTKY- Tell us 1 trait you hope you pass to LO, and one trait you hope you don't pass to LO.

I hope this baby inherits my intelligence and love of reading.

I hope the poor thing doesn't inherit my clumsiness or VERY slow metabolism.

cgondek1 · December 2015

How many weeks? 5w6d

How are you feeling? Tired, sore boobs. When exercising any running/jumping etc did not feel great for the sisters this morning, even with the extra supportive sports bra - oh well

. Otherwise feeling good.

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms?

Wondering why it seems like I am the only person here who has not done any blood work. just BFP for POAS. First appt 12/22 - anxiously awaiting that

.
Excited to finally tell people on Christmas to have more people to talk about things with - especially my sister.

Questions? not really other than above

GTKY: Traits -

There are so many to choose from. I hope he or she gets my curly hair, compassion and love for dance (too hard to choose one)

I really really hope he or she does not get my very acne prone skin (that was a bummer as a teenager, and still is now), or my clumsiness.

allyall10 · December 2015

How far along are you? 5w5d

How are you feeling? Tired, but DS was up every hour last night...thanks buddy!

Doing anything baby related today? Bumping and Pinning

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: so, I want this kid, badly. I did IVF after all and all info is tell at DS because he didn't sleep and I want to be single and alone for 2 days just to sleep and drink wine. And, I must be mean now because I totally yelled at DH while he was trying to give me my progesterone shot because I can't see my butt to tell him wear to go, I've had so many shots that my butt feels numb, and I'm tired. I'm a horrible person today!

Questions? No.

GTKY- Tell us 1 trait you hope you pass to LO, and one trait you hope you don't pass to LO.

Pass on my love of books and crafts.
Don't pass on the above personality disorder (haha)

Mrsrundell · December 2015

How far along are you? 6 w /2d

How are you feeling? I get nauseous around 4pm every day so this morning I feel fine!

A bit achy and I've had dull cramps for the past few weeks but, I'm going to go for a run in the crisp air this morning so hopefully that makes me feel a bit more alive!!

Doing anything baby related today? Just organizing some things around the house to make room for baby stuff - we have a teeny tiny loft so being organized is gonna be soooooo important.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Love my hubby for everything he does for me and our little monkey! Positive vibes to all of my new bump friends while they are feeling tired or run down today - It's national Nap Day tomorrow so be sure to celebrate! (Just kidding but, it should seriously be a thing!)

Questions? What important questions did you ask your dr. and your first appointment? I have mine next week and I want to be fully prepared

GTKY- Tell us 1 trait you hope you pass to LO, and one trait you hope you don't pass to LO.

I hope I can pass on my love of charity and public service, it would be fun to have a buddy come along on my volunteering adventures- I hope my babe is not as hard on themselves as I can be on myself (I'm a Virgo and can be a perfectionist sometimes).. I hope they get their Daddy's ambition, athleticism and silliness

JournoGrl23 · December 2015

How far along are you? 4w2d

How are you feeling? My boobs actually hurt less than the past couple days, which worries me, but they still look bigger. I'm guessing this kind of thing goes in cycles? Still starving and thirsty all the time! And still really tired, but I'm adjusting to it so it's not bothering me as much. I've also started getting cramps that feel like AF is coming. But I can't tell if it's my uterus or intestines. I've always been on a really strict diet where I can't eat that much due to a stomach disorder, but now that I'm KU, I'm eating a lot more because that diet just isn't cutting it. So I wouldn't be surprised if it's my intestines trying to adjust to actual food.

Doing anything baby related today? Nope. Just working. Probably will look at The Bump at work.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Still nervous and excited. Can't wait until my first appointment at 10 weeks. I called yesterday to see when the ultrasound would be or how I go about setting it up (I know nothing), and I was told I'll get one at my first appointment! So I'm very excited. I was thinking I would have to wait forever for that.

Questions? Is it normal to experience symptoms heavily, then not at all, then experience them again in cycles throughout pregnancy?

GTKY- Tell us 1 trait you hope you pass to LO, and one trait you hope you don't pass to LO. I hope he gets my eyes and my love of animals. But I hope he does not get any of my health problems or anxiety. It's miserable to live with anxiety and I don't want him to live like that. I'd rather he take after my husband and be calm and happy with the "whatever happens, happens" attitude.

@cgondekl I haven't had blood work either! I was also feeling like the only one on here who hasn't. I just got a BFP from POAS as well, called in, and they don't want me to come in until I'm 10 weeks. Long wait!

mumblefrog86 · December 2015

How far along are you? 5 weeks 3 days

How are you feeling? The nausea hit today, also I am so tired.

Doing anything baby related today? the bump and took another pregnancy test hahah

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: getting excited for my ultrasound next week.

Questions?

GTKY- Tell us 1 trait you hope you pass to LO, and one trait you hope you don't pass to LO.- My sense of humor. My DD has so many of my husbands manerisoms that I hope this one is a little more like me

Ya Never Know · December 2015

How far along are you? 5 weeks-ish

How are you feeling? Weird. Yesterday I went to the grocery store to grab lunch and had to sit down after I almost fainted at the cash. Today I feel faint at times, and have been having dizzy spells. These are the first symptoms I've really had so far.

Doing anything baby related today? Nope! But the doctor did call yesterday to schedule my first OB appointment in March.

I hope I pass on my humour, but not my short temper.

jckh912 · December 2015

How far along are you?
6 weeks today!

How are you feeling?
Good, just tired- I'm not sleeping well

Doing anything baby related today?
Not really, bumping and I've decided to get rid of all of our baby clothes (other then special items). They have been through both my DDs so I decided it's time for new stuff! Hello Goodwill, and project sunshine!!

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Is anyone else sick of people posting about politics, when in reality the have NO idea what they are talking about. They must have saw a meem somewhere and thought "hmmm FACT" and decided to take it seriously without caring to research and know the whole story?
@WinchesterGirl sending positive vibes your way!

Questions?
I occasionally wonder if there is two in there

GTKY- Tell us 1 trait you hope you pass to LO, and one trait you hope you don't pass to LO.
My brown eyes (both DDs have their daddies beautiful blue eyes) and my love for math and science. I hope LO gets my DHs go getter "get stuff done" attitude.

*edited for what the bump ate

Pam973 · December 2015

ZedPM3 · December 2015

How far along are you? 4w4d

How are you feeling? Little bit of nausea, definitely gassy and constipated. Feeling weird twinges all around my lower abdomen which must be my body adjusting. Still doesn't really feel real!

Doing anything baby related today? Emailed my doctor today to ask if they feel that blood work for TSH should be done now (my mom has hypothyroidism and while my level was normal last January I haven't had it checked since then).

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Happy it's Friday! Trying not to get overwhelmed googling stuff.

Questions? None

GTKY- Tell us 1 trait you hope you pass to LO, and one trait you hope you don't pass to LO.

Would love for them to have my green eyes
Would also love for them to not be as soft spoken as me.

WinchesterGirl · December 2015

Hey ladies! Thanks for all the well wishes and I had to update! Still waiting on the doc to review and approve my labs so they can tell me the official latest number, but:

Monday:875 hcg
Thursday: over 2,000 hcg!

The nurse on the phone told me they were "up significantly " and over 2,000, but she couldn't tell me anything else until the doc oks it. But I feel so relieved that it's for sure still going in the right direction!!!

Cjboyle10 · December 2015

How far along are you? 6weeks! How are you feeling? Better today, had major bleeding this week, so was nervous and scared! Doing anything baby related today? Had another ultra sound! Seen the little peanut and heartbeat!! So extatic! Was really nervous we wouldn't have good news this morning. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: stay positive, pray, and ask questions! If you have concern or feel something is t right, ask, ask, ask! Questions? Not today! GTKY- Tell us 1 trait you hope you pass to LO, and one trait you hope you don't pass to LO. I've been told I have quite the big beautiful blue eyes, so we will go with those! And I hope they don't get my love of carbs....:)

OK, boobies are hurting and bloated...

Doing anything baby related today?
No

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
positive vibes to everyone

Questions?
So I woke up the other night and my right boob hurt sooooooo bad it was burning, felt like it was on fire... It seriously wasn't something I've felt before. Is this normal or something I should mention to my ob/gyn?

GTKY- Tell us 1 trait you hope you pass to LO, and one trait you hope you don't pass to LO.

I hope our little one will come out being totally awesome sauce like us, and one I hope not to pass on is my lack of enthusiasm for math!

Bookhousegirl · December 2015

How far along are you? 5w2d

How are you feeling? Exhausted and really emotional.

Doing anything baby related today? No

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: our washer and dryer was finally delivered so I can actually start doing laundry again! I'm so excited!!

Questions? Nothing right now.

GTKY- Tell us 1 trait you hope you pass to LO, and one trait you hope you don't pass to LO.

I hope he/she gets my love of reading and I hope he/she doesn't get my hair or fair skin (DH has beautiful olive skin and so does DS). I also hope this lo gets DH's lightheartedness.

carolinw · December 2015

Yay!!! @WinchesterGirl Keeping my fingers crossed for more good news from the doctor!! ☺️

Merocket59 · December 2015

@cgondek1 I haven't had any bloodwork either, just my positive sticks lol I have bloodwork to go for now but it's not HCG

@Ya Never Know The same thing happened to me the other day at Hobby Lobby check out, started getting really hot and dizzy, fun fun!

How far along are you? 6W 2D

How are you feeling? Sore boobs and lower belly like have been there all along, emotional roller coaster, constipated, bloated. Sometimes I notice by upper abs are sore, not terrible pain or all the time but more when I stretch, anyone else?

Doing anything baby related today? Had my phone appt with the nurse at the OB office this morning, she asked standard history info, told me a bunch of fun stuff, and let me ask questions but I couldn't think of too many.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Bled like crazy today after getting a bad papercut, I'm not used to being on a blood thinner so that was interesting. Makes me scared to have any type of real injury but I'll take that risk over clotting.

Questions? See above.

GTKY- Tell us 1 trait you hope you pass to LO, and one trait you hope you don't pass to LO.

I'm going with superficial traits, I hope I pass on my brown hair and not my brown eyes because I want LO to have DH's baby blues. I love the brown hair/blue eye combo.

JenniferMasters · December 2015

@Merocket59 my abs hurt too! I thought that was so weird-a few days ago they were really sore like I had just done a bunch of crunches. My ob said it's the muscles relaxing to allow for the uterus to expand

How far along are you? 6 weeks 2 days

How are you feeling?
Super queasy until about noon. Sore nipples, occasional muscle aches, and backache a few times a day. I'm so exhausted I struggle to stay awake past 9pm and get really sleepy if I haven't eaten anything in a while

Do anything baby related today?
Thought about baby every minute of the day

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: just nervous about the ultrasound on Tuesday

Questions: questions for my ob mostly

GTKY: I want to pass on my love for singing old campfire songs, love of nature, and love of love. I married my soul mate who still takes my breath away 16 years after we first met
