Questions? None

Salt and Vinegar chips. I used to get the Troyer Farms ones (semi-local brand, I think) and there was such a heavy coating of salt and vinegar and I'd actually get acid burns in my mouth because of it (and because I ate so many).
Ok, Cool Ranch Doritos are another guilty pleasure. Luckily, I rarely indulge in either.
How are you feeling? Fine. Freaked out by the lack of symptoms. Wishing my A cup boobs would grow
Doing anything baby related today? I should hear from my doctor about some blood work, but nothing else.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: On a plane to Florida tomorrow!
Questions? None.
GTKY- Tell us your guilty pleasure! You may choose from any category - food, TV, music, anything! Trashy novels. I love them.

Puffy Cheetos! Yum. I have been especially loving them anything super salty this week!
How are you feeling? Pretty good! Having some heartburn today, but I can't complain.
Doing anything baby related today? I will probably read some more of Ina May's guide to childbirth.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Positive vibes to everyone! It seems like the losses come in waves and it is very sad. I really didn't realize how common it was before.
Questions? Having a horrible time thinking up healthy breakfast ideas I can stomach... what are you ladies eating?
GTKY- Tell us your guilty pleasure! You may choose from any category - food, TV, music, anything!
- 16 and pregnant/teen mom
- Boxed mac and cheese. I know making it from scratch isn't that hard, but it is just not te same. That salty, cheesy goodness calls to me.
Edited for typos.
my part of Florida.
How are you feeling? Ok, I've been really bloated the last couple of days. Still exhausted and queasy most of the day.
Doing anything baby related today? No, just counting down the days until my ultrasound next week!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: @WinchesterGirl The losses do seem to come in waves! So I'm also sending positive vibes to everyone. 12 weeks can't come soon enough!

Doing anything baby related today? Not today tomorrow is ultrasound day so pretty excited.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Questions?
GTKY- Tell us your guilty pleasure! You may choose from any category - food, TV, music, anything! Watching stupid tv. I love watching the Kardashians. I have no idea why they drive me crazy such a train wreck but I can't turn away
How are you feeling? Pretty good! Just sleepy. I slept 11 hours last night! Other than that I don't have any other symptoms. And I'm even on progesterone! Sort of freaks me out but I guess I should be glad.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: positive vibes to all the ladies on here! I'm so afraid of a loss and it breaks my heart for all of the ladies who have experienced one.
Questions? Anyone else not have sore boobs??
GTKY- Tell us your guilty pleasure! You may choose from any category - food, TV, music, anything!
I'm in love with the show Teen Wolf, Arrow, and the Flash!

Doing anything baby related today? Just some bumping.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: taking a vacation day tomorrow for party prep (having a Christmas party Saturday) and I'm excited to go get a manicure!
Questions? Does anyone know if golfing is an okay activity while pregnant? Not sure if the "twisting" motion is okay or not.
GTKY- Tell us your guilty pleasure! You may choose from any category - food, TV, music, anything!
Food- chocolate! TV - TLC reality shows Music - TSwift
How are you feeling? Great. I had been having some pains in my lower left abdomen that I assumed were intestinal except I had them for several days. Called the doc yesterday and she said to take some colace. Well, turns out this little sweet pea was causing some serious constipation (tmi, sorry). Feel so much better today. I was starting to freak out. But other than that I only have sore nipples. Oh, and I think I'm having mood swings (my DH definitely thinks I am!). I started crying about work the other day and had absolutely no reason to.
Doing anything baby related today? Wrapping the ornaments we got for our parents for Christmas. They say "A Christmas Miracle is in the Making, Due August 2016"
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: So excited to tell our families next week in person. Can't wait to be able to talk to my mom about this stuff. She's had 7 pregnancies, 2 MCs, and 5 births. So if anyone knows what to say, it's her.
Questions? Anyone else having bow issues?
GTKY- Tell us your guilty pleasure! You may choose from any category - food, TV, music, anything! Hmm...I have several, but I love to find shows on Netflix and binge watch. Right now, I'm on Gotham.
@Winchestergirl: I've been eating either a smoothie (1/2 cup greek yogurt, 10 oz orange juice, 2 TB chia seeds, 1.5 cups frozen fruit, and 2 cups spinach) or 2/3 cup greek yogurt with 1 cup of fresh fruit and some honey. The smoothie is supposed to help with nausea.
How are you feeling? Relatively good. Nausea will kick in shortly.
Doing anything baby related today? Just bumpin.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Week long vacation starts tomorrow!! Ultrasound on Monday!
Questions? Any suggestions on how to handle the "Why aren't you drinking?". Christmas party this weekend and we aren't telling anyone yet.
GTKY- Tell us your guilty pleasure! You may choose from any category - food, TV, music, anything!
Right now, Glee and tator tots!!
How are you feeling?pretty nauseous today and boobs are killing me
Doing anything baby related today? no
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I was hoping that the morning sickness would not be as bad this time. However, I feel awful this morning. This isn't forever....this isn't forever....this isn't forever
Questions?
GTKY- Tell us your guilty pleasure! You may choose from any category - food, TV, music, anything! I'm a sucker for celebrity news.....I know I'm not proud.
How are you feeling? Better today than yesterday, so far...but my morning sickness has been more like midday/afternoon sickness. I did some prenatal yoga at home last night, I think it helped relax me and I actually did sleep better...could also be because DH worked overnight last night and wasn't crowding the bed
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: So excited it's almost the weekend. I need more time to sleep!! Positive vibes to everyone. I'm starting to feel more relaxed in general about this pregnancy, and then there's a little voice in my head that says if I let my guard down and throw myself into it, I'll be even more disappointed if something goes wrong. I wish I could silence that stupid little voice!!!
Questions? I'm doing my first barre class tonight with my SIL, who does not know (no one does except DH)...has anyone done these classes so early in pregnancy? Any modifications needed? I'm a bit nervous.
GTKY- Tell us your guilty pleasure! You may choose from any category - food, TV, music, anything!
Oh man...so many good answers already. @WinchesterGirl, I am with you on the boxed mac and cheese, I have been known to eat a whole box when left unsupervised. I've also been known (pre-pregnancy) to eat a baguette and a hunk of brie for dinner. You only live once...
How are you feeling? The same! Definitely bloated but that has been my life the last 6 months since being diagnosed with UC.
Doing anything baby related today? Finally telling someone we are pregnant!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Today is my mom's birthday and we are going to lunch (we typically go every Friday but couldn't this week so Thursday worked out well since its her bday) and I am telling her we are pregnant! I am pretty confident she will not see this coming, she knows we want kids but when ever she inquires about our plans I always talk about in the future! I never told her we have been trying the last 6 months! I am giving her a card that says "Happy Birthday Nana" and on the inside is signed by us and Baby Bubblegum. I think she is going to flip. This is her first grandbaby and she has made it very clear how bad she wants to be a grandparent! 2.5 hours and counting!
Questions? Not currently
GTKY- Tell us your guilty pleasure! You may choose from any category - food, TV, music, anything! My guilty pleasure is binge watching TV. I have so many series I have seen and currently don't have anything new! Any suggestions?

I'm feeling pretty good. More tired than normal, but not to the exhaustion point yet. That hit me at 6 weeks last time. My boobs are killing me!!!
I POAS today for fun and to make sure the line was darker and HOLY COW it was extremely dark as soon as I peed! My husband jokes about twins :0
Rant, rave, positive vibe: it's sooooooo hard not to tell people. I accidently almost told my mother in law in a text about family coming over. It was a close call!
Questions- aren't these posts for when you hit your 'new week mark?' Like 5 week 6week etc?
Guilty pleasures? Mmm total book nerd. I can't wait until I don't have to work and can binge read (if my toddler allows me to!) I've bought about 10 I haven't opened. I'm addicted to shopping for books!

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
As we have been TTC for a long time and struggled with infertility, I'm going to be cautious on overloading Facebook with pics and posts, I have been and still am use to seeing a million bump pics and oh this pregnancy this or that. there are several on my friends list now that complain, and I just want to be like REALLY ? Do you know how long I've been trying and the thousands of dollars we have used to try to get here!! It's not easy for everyone.
Questions?
Anyone else going to be the first grandchild? It's the first on my side and everyone is extatic!

@kcolly32 and @WinchesterGirl I totally can't help loving Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant, I've watched so many episodes.
I love, love, love potatoes. Tater tots are my downfall. Last night at the store I was able to turn away from them and buy these instead. Since they are totally portioned controlled unlike an entire bag of tots......
How are you feeling? Sore nipples & easily annoyed.
Doing anything baby related today? Double checked my must buy before birth list. DD is almost 4 so we have very few baby supplies. I will probably look for our Ergo.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: hopefully being easily annoyed goes away soon. I don't like it.
Questions? None
GTKY- Tell us your guilty pleasure! Reality TV shows while doing something girlie like painting my nails.
@THATdisneyMom , no, these posts are for everyone every day. Ticker change posts are for your week change day only.
@ramoseecology now I desperately need tater tots for lunch. Or onion rings. Or both.
How are you feeling? Extremely tired and slightly nauseous this morning. Also belly issues
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: thinking I might need to tell someone at work so they don't think I'm a cry baby...

How are you feeling? Dealing with bouts of nausea and insomnia, but overall not too bad.
Doing anything baby related today? I took DD1 to the mall today and stopped and looked at baby clothes, but mostly just ones for her. Then got some Starbucks and did my target shopping.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: No rant today. Rave: DH was working out of town last night and is bringing me home two bouquets of flowers
Questions? Nope
GTKY- Tell us your guilty pleasure! Hmmmmm I'm addicted to all things coconut - food, lotions, candles, etc. If it is coconut I must have it. I also thoroughly enjoy eating coconut right from the shell.
How are you feeling? Very sore boobs as usual. Also, some intestinal issues, dizzy spells every now and then and I feel like I'm on an emotional roller coaster.
Doing anything baby related today? Just hanging out on The Bump.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm still just trying to remain as neutral as I can until my 10-week appointment when I find out if this pregnancy is viable or not. But I do keep getting my hopes up and allowing myself to get beyond excited that I'm pregnant. Not sure if that's a good thing or not this early.
Questions? Nope.
GTKY- Tell us your guilty pleasure! You may choose from any category - food, TV, music, anything! I have two. Food and TV. I'm supposed to be on a medically mandated diet, but I don't do so well at that. I love to eat and there's very few foods out there I don't like. I also have a huge weakness for TV. I like getting lost in a fictional world where I don't have to worry about what's going on in my life for a little while. I used to read books all the time instead, but all I do is read 8 or more hours a day at work, so the books have been replaced with the TV until I get a new job.
I am feeling very gross. Lots of vomiting, nausea, headaches, dizzy spells and really sore boobs.
I am thankful for my pregnancy symptoms as I miscarried last time and I heard morning sickness is a good sign!! Also have my first ultrasound on Tuesday!!!
No questions.
Guilty pleasure is laying in bed all day!
How far along are you? 4+6 or 5, different tickers say different things?
How are you feeling? Nausea started this morning and I'm TIRED. It would help if I could get to sleep/go back to sleep.
Doing anything baby related today? I bought Belly Laughs and The Kind MaMa
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I get to take my clients to Cirque de Dreams tonight.
Questions? None
GTKY- Tell us your guilty pleasure! You may choose from any category - food, TV, music, anything!
I LOVE B-Dubs
How are you feeling? Normal still. Thinking all of that will change next week when I hit 5w. That is when it hit last pregnancy
Doing anything baby related today? Bumping
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Positive vibes to everyone. Knowing so early is making me very paranoid.
Questions? None

Definitely a Kraft mac and cheese lover (three cheese is the best!) and I'm stalking Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani like it is my job.
eta: typo
How are you feeling? Like crap. All day nausea and intense food aversion set in this week, and now I have a cold which I caught from my 4-year-old. I'd like to go home and sleep but I have to tough it out until my 1:00 meeting is over...
Doing anything baby related today? My pregnancy announcement tee-shirt should be coming in the mail today! We're announcing to our families via cute tee-shirts on Christmas. :-)
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm getting more and more anxious about our first ultrasound next week. I had a loss in October and I'm really scared that once we get to the ultrasound, they won't see anything. I know it's irrational because I haven't had any cramping/bleeding and my pregnancy symptoms are in Full Force but I still can't help but worry. I wish next Wednesday would just hurry up and get here so I can get the ultrasound done and make sure that everything is still progressing well.
Questions? Has anyone dealt with a bad cold in early pregnancy? What natural remedies do you know of to fend off the sore throat and runny nose?
GTKY- Tell us your guilty pleasure! You may choose from any category - food, TV, music, anything!
Sour candy. Food in general has been hit or miss in the last week, but prior to this pregnancy my guilt pleasure has always been sour candy. I'm typically a healthy eater, but I can't say no to the sour stuff!
How are you feeling? Surprisingly ok. But nauseated. I really want some clam chowder and only clam chowder, but my husband took the car. I'm also really cold still all the time. I am having this recurring nightmare that I'm having twins. I hope not.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope. I'm watching Star Wars Episode 4 with my 3 year old for the first time (for him, not me). He's entranced.

Not much in the way of food guilty pleasures right now, but tv? I'm still watching Quantico, even though it's kind of awful.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: just trying to stay busy until my appointment this afternoon - I hope everything is good news!
GTKY: I love really cheesy reality TV - Bravo, VH1, Oxygen lol.. Oh and red vines
