Re: Monday Check-in
How are you feeling? Good! Still fighting to keep all my food down after eating but when I haven't just eaten I feel great
Doing anything baby related today? Bumping
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm a teacher and it's the last week of school before winter break!
Questions? Nope

Favorite: seeing my husband read all the way through his guide to pregnancy book and be so into it all and excited
Least favorite: worrying/ anxiety!
How are you feeling? Over all I'm feeling okay. I'm just exhausted. I have finals this week and haven't been sleeping well.
Doing anything baby related today? Making my first Doctor's appointment today!!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: DH and I both want children, but were going to wait another year when I was done with nursing school. When I told him last night he was excited!
Questions? How many cups of coffee can I have? Is decaf okay? I am kind of a coffee addict. If I don't have any at work they will figure out that I'm pregnant.
GTKY- Tell us your favorite/least favorite parts of pregnancy so far. Feel free to include previous pregnancies if this is not your first.Just knowing that I'm pregnant is the best. No real symptoms yet, so we'll see.
How are you feeling? Pretty good today. Not overly nauseous, no spotting so far this morning and there was very little yesterday.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope, just waiting for tomorrow and the ultrasound to see if everything is ok in there.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I am almost done Christmas shopping! Also, this weekend to distract myself from the endless wait, I made myself a "baby supplies box". I've decided to stockpile some things, like wipes, baby shampoo, etc that I can buy ahead. One of my SILs told me while she was pregnant that since they didn't have a lot of money, they tried to start adjusting their budget as soon as they knew she was pregnant and every week she would buy a pack of diapers, wipes, or something else that would keep. I thought it was a good idea, so I'm stealing it.
Questions? Nope.

Favorite: talking with DH about the baby and the future and how we want to do things. Least favorite: spotting and nausea.

How are you feeling?
Not so great today! A little nausea this morning, but mostly just really really exhaustedly tired, even though I had a relaxing weekend that included several long naps. My DD was good about it, but I feel bad, I didn't get as much play time in with her as I would have liked.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
This weekend I found out some very disturbing news, and with my hormones all out of whack I haven't been able to stop going through uncontrollable crying bouts. I mean, the news is sad, but normally I can control myself.
Questions?

So far, it's just being exhausted. Also I had one near fainting spell, and that was just scary.
My favourite part of pregnancy so far is just that I'm pregnant. I didn't expect to be here this soon, and DH and I are both still so surprised and excited.
How are you feeling? great. just a bit of bloating
Doing anything baby related today? my first OB appointment! (and a first time mama). Not sure if I'll have an ultrasound, but crossing my fingers
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:I am bursting at the seams waiting to tell my family, but won't do it until Christmas!
Questions? I have to travel a bit for work (flying tomorrow). Anyone have any tips/advice for traveling while pregnant? I know it will have to stop once I get into the third trimester or something, right?

GTKY- Tell us your favorite/least favorite parts of pregnancy so far. Feel free to include previous pregnancies if this is not your first.
Favorite part is when the baby starts moving. I loved just sitting and watching my first kick. It's the best feeling. Least favorite is the amount of times you have to pee. Even from the beginning. I'm up like 3 times a night to go to the bathroom.
How are you feeling? Not too bad. A bit nauseous, very thirsty, boobs are sore, and tired.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope

I've only known for less than a week so I don't know if I have anything! I guess favorite so far is a real excuse to eat healthier. Least favorite is the tiredness and boob soreness.

How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good today. Random kidney area pain, had cramps over the weekend but they seem to have subsided. Can't eat much, just not that interested in food which is very bizarre for my food-obsessed self.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope. I did a lot of pinning on my secret baby pin board last night.

Questions? Not yet.

My favorite part is the kicks, and also breastfeeding. Its such an amazing bond. Least favorite is the emotional roller coaster.
How are you feeling? Sore boobs, fatigue.
Doing anything baby related today? Working so I can take plenty of time later.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: My boobs hurt.
Questions? How to hide the fact that I'm not drinking. I'd like to wait to tell anyone until after my 6 week appointment, but we're visiting my in-laws next week and me turning down a drink will be a dead giveaway.
GTKY- Tell us your favorite/least favorite parts of pregnancy so far. Feel free to include previous pregnancies if this is not your first. Wasn't in love with the mild cramping and definitely could do without the boob hurt.

GTKY- Tell us your favorite/least favorite parts of pregnancy so far. Feel free to include previous pregnancies if this is not your first. ETA this... preggo brain missed this question! I really am not feeling much for symptoms yet... but in my previous 3 pregnancies, first trimester is REALLY rough on me. I get very, very sick and the exhaustion is no joke! Third trimester isn't easy either.
How are you feeling? Meh. Counting down the days until my first appointment on Jan. 7th.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: The only symptom I have is sore boobs that are almost a full cup size bigger. But that comes and goes. It feels weird to be happy that my boobs are aching this much.

How are you feeling?
I have had the hungover feeling for the last 5 days straight, from wake up until about 1pm after lunch. I haven't vomited yet though, so not unbearable, just kind of sick of feeling nauseous! Also, I have an international flight in 1.5 weeks, so not looking forward to feeling sick in economy cabin for 15 hours! Hopefully it will be bearable because I can just chill. Also not sure how sleep on the plane will go without wine and sleeping pills.
Doing anything baby related today?
No
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Felt really frustrated on the weekend at a Christmas party, I was asked at least 6 times if I was pregnant, even though I was pretending to drink vodka soda type drinks. Friends even insisted on smelling my drink and tasting my drink. I think it was extremely rude, and I'm kind of annoyed about how people insist on invading privacy. And I'm not talking about BFFs. I just feel like I need to avoid these people now, until I'm closer to 12 weeks. I think I'm even more offended, because I have put on weigh in recent months, and it felt like a jab at my weight gain. Super offended!
Questions?
No, but appreciate everyone else's questions, and getting to read the answers.

Really looking forward to my 8 week U/S appointment next Tuesday! I know there is still a chance of things going wrong during the last month of the 1st Trimester, but I do feel like it will be very calming to see a heartbeat, and know things are going well. I had beta blood tests in week 5, but other than that, you mostly just feel like you are flying blind!
This is my first pregnancy that has lasted this long, I'm also starting to get excited about decorating a baby room, and planning for the future.
How are you feeling? Pregnancy-wise I'm fine, just tired. But I've been fighting a cold/sore throat/gross something for over a week now and it's taking a toll on me.
Doing anything baby related today? Had our first ultrasound and saw our little piece of rice!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: meh...nothing comes to mind
Questions? nope!
GTKY- My favorite part was just getting the BFP on an FRER. With DD I got my BFP 3dp6dt, this time I tested and tested and tested and nothing, we had thrown in the towel and figured the cycle didn't work and were starting to plan our next FET. But then....on 8dp6dt my boobs were a little sore, but I just figured it was from the progesterone injections that I thought I was still fruitlessly doing until my beta, but I took a test anyway and it was positive!!!! I was literally in shock, I stood in the bathroom with my jaw on the floor for a good 20 minutes staring at the pee stick lol.
Baby #2 due 8/11/2016
How are you feeling? Great
Doing anything baby related today? Got another blood draw. Beta was 136 last Monday. 2406 today. Doubling time of 40hrs!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: so relieved my hcg is going up appropriately. Every milestone is such an accomplishment for PGAL brain.
Questions? No
GTKY- Tell us your favorite/least favorite parts of pregnancy so far. Feel free to include previous pregnancies if this is not your first.
I really enjoy being pregnant. Didn't get too sick last time and it's so amazing what our bodies can do. I also love that I don't have to worry about sucking in my gut.
Least favorite part is just the uncertainty. Trying to remain positive.
@cait5413 I wish I had skipped the mamaroo, DS used it maybe twice. Crib sheets, burp cloths/wash cloths and white onsies you can never have enough of.
How far along are you? 5w5d
How are you feeling? Exhausted and queasy
Doing anything baby related today? Had my 3rd blood draw, the next 24 hrs are going to be torture waiting for the results.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: DH is on a business trip and was supposed to be home before I got out of work but his flight was delayed until late tonight... Boo fog!!
Questions? I know lots of ppl are having sore boobs but mine are more like random sharp pains, anyone else feel like this?
GTKY- Tell us your favorite/least favorite parts of pregnancy so far. Feel free to include previous pregnancies if this is not your first.
Favorite is the kicks and just feeling like I've got my little buddy with me all the time
Least favorite is by far the worry and anxiety about this being a sticky baby.
How are you feeling? Except for a few headaches I'm feeling great!
Doing anything baby related today? 1st OB apt Thursday. It's more of a confirm the pregnancy and answer questions but it's a start!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I can't figure out how to get the ticker:( My coworker is 3 wks ahead of me and had her 1st U/S today...I'm jealous. I had spotting last week and one time of blood that freaked me out. I just want reassurance that everything is OK.
Questions? What questions should I ask my doctor?
GTKY- Tell us your favorite/least favorite parts of pregnancy so far. Feel free to include previous pregnancies if this is not your first. Favorite-Just the fact I'm Pregnant (It took 10 months) Negative- worry/anxiety, headaches

How are you feeling? Some pains in my belly yesterday today, probably gas but it messes with the mind. A ton of sinus congestion this morning which gave me a headache and I was really tired but powered through the day.
Doing anything baby related today? One of my coworker's daughters had a baby so we talked about breast feeding (she doesn't know I'm pregnant) Her daughter has a the same name as me and is the same age so it was funny to hear her talk about her, sounds like we are very similar.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Used some pregnancy affirmations to refocus *spreading the positive vibes* to all the lovely ladies here
