Doing anything baby related today? Still working on my cloth diaper list so I can make my first purchase this week.

Questions? Anyone else's DS or DD becoming extra clingy lately? My DS is usually pretty independent, but the last week I can't even go to the bathroom without him dragging a chair in and sitting next to me. We haven't sat him down a just told him yet, but I'm sure he can sense things are different.
GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty? Kinda both... Garlic bread and Oreos. Green olives and chocolate peanut butter no bakes. Lol

How are you feeling?
Exhausted and congested, caught a cold. The exhaustion is not new.
Doing anything baby related today?
Just bumpin
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Hoping today goes by quickly. Wishing my DH wasn't having so much back pain last night, neither of us slept well.
Questions?
Not today
GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty?
Sweet, which is terrible because of the holidays there is no shortage of sweets around. So hard to resist.
How are you feeling? Ok, I've been working from home this week which means more time to sleep and rest, so I've been feeling better.
Doing anything baby related today? Just this!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Had some insomnia last night and difficulty sleeping...woke at 2:30am...but I was able to sleep in a bit so that was great.
Questions? I have an annual ski trip coming up with a group of 10 friends for MLK weekend...obviously I won't be skiing, drinking or hot tubbing, but we're not ready to tell everyone just yet. Any suggestions on how to get out of downhill skiing? I can avoid drinking and hot tubbing without much trouble...we're not big drinkers as it is so it won't turn heads. I'm just kinda worried about the skiing thing. Feign an injury? A sickness? Decide I now hate skiing?
GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty? Definitely salty. Aaaaand sweet. Ate my weight in french fries and a hot fudge brownie sundae last night. It was heaven.
How are you feeling? Terrible. I hope this nausea let's up sooner than it did with my daughter
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Questions?
GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty? Salty chips or fries or pizza. I have zero interest in sweets ( not like me at all)
@pickeringsu what is a cloth diaper list? I'm really interested in cloth diapering.
@mrsmd1224 Maybe an injury? Easy to fake and could say you're in pain mess you can't mix with alcohol. 2 for 1
How far along are you? 6+4
How are you feeling? I go back and forth
Doing anything baby related today? I got some preggie pops and walked around babies r us looking at cribs with DH
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: positive vibes to everyone with Doctors appointments this week
Questions?
GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty?
More salty. I'm pretty averse toots things ATM, I did crave some leftover Alfredo at about 9 am. I was happy to finally be able to eat something without getting nauseous after the first bite.
How are you feeling? Nausea and exhaustion.
Doing anything baby related today?
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I have to clean house today we have people coming in to stay for new years. Also, DH is out of town for work, he left last night really missing him being here to make me feel better and less stressed.
Questions?
GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty? I do not have much of a appetite right now cause I'm constantly nauseated, but when I do it's normally sweets.
How are you feeling? Still awful. Getting my MS routine down though so I don't puke everywhere. The rise in blood pressure I've had along with a rapid heart beat and increase in palpitations and chest pain has been scaring me. My mom said that sounds like my anxiety acting up over anything pregnancy related. She's probably right because I'm more nervous and scared than I initially thought. Still freaks me out though.
Doing anything baby related today? Probably not. Just The Bump.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Nothing baby related today. I did have a recruiter from a huge media company reach out to me though and say based on my work at the company I work at now she would like to talk to me about offering me a job. I didn't even know recruiters still existed. I thought it was awesome but it would require moving to another state for the same salary. Wouldn't really be worth it. Especially since I'm trying to get out of journalism so I can make enough to support my family.
Questions? Nope.
GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty? boxed macaroni and cheese. Only thing that hasn't made me throw up besides saltines. Wish it was something healthy instead of that.

Ok today which of course freaks me out. Was feeling nauseated on and off.
Doing anything baby related today?
Nope.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
So glad I still have a few days of vacation left before the new year.
Questions?
GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty?
Salty! I had a whole plate of fried rice yesterday. All I want is simple, salty carbs and I haven't been interested in sweets much at all. Although after watching the great British bake off yesterday I wanted cake so I had DH get ice cream and brownie bites.
How are you feeling? The usual sore boobs and tired
Doing anything baby related today? Just this
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Woke up to my house in a disaster. My cat had diarrhea that he tracked all over the house and one of my dogs puked. After getting that cleaned up I went to vaccum only to find my awesome dyson vaccum hose broke and no longer has suction, sigh.
Questions? Nah
GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty? I haven't really had any cravings yet. I like sweet and salty things but I'd have to say my favorite thing to snack on is Cherries. I've recently became obsessed with them.
How are you feeling? A little tired, my boobs are sore, and a bit nauseous in the mornings, and extremely bloated, but otherwise feeling good.
Doing anything baby related today? Browsing these message boards. This is my first pregnancy
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I really just want to keep peeing on a stick to make sure I'm still pregnant. I'm trying not to worry, but the thought of miscarrying scares me. Trying to stay positive though! First appointment is next week Tuesday!
Questions? None
GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty? I haven't had much of an appetite, which is weird for me.
How far along are you? 7w3d
How are you feeling? Tired. I have zero energy right now and feel like I could sleep for days.
Doing anything baby related today? Just this. I'm guilty of being a lurker most of the time, but I'm trying to participate more often.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm feeling lousy and work is slow right now. I'm wishing I would have taken some time off this week after the holidays. I feel bad that my son is in daycare when all he really wants to do is go home and play with his Christmas gifts. Plus, it is hard not to feel guilty for sending him to daycare when I'm not busy at work.
Questions?
GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty? Salty! I'm surrounded by sweet Christmas snacks and all I really want is a bag of chips.
Feeling: So nauseous. Constantly seasick. Boobs hurt. Emotional. Embracing all these symptoms.
Nothing baby related today. Undecorating from Christmas. Joy.
Rant/Race: Realized I'm a week past when I lost my last baby makes me feel so happy. These emotions are out of control though.
GTKY: I crave salty and greasy. Totally opposite of my usually very healthy diet. Feeling fat.
How are you feeling? Bloated and slightly nauseous
Doing anything baby related today? Just bumpin
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Excited that I get to unleash some pregnancy rage on my boss today! She lacks compassion more than any other person I've ever met and I'm tired of her treating me like crap.
Questions? Is it 5 o'clock yet?
GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty? Salty!! Pickles are big for me right now. That and tator tots. I can't get enough.
How are you feeling? Bloated. I'm not as tired as I have been the last few days so that's good. Yesterday my stomach just felt off, not nausea, which came and went. Feeling good today though.
Doing anything baby related today? I've been looking at various types of cloth diapers and which ones we may want to go with.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I still have 3 weeks until my first appointment... I hate waiting!
Questions? Has anyone used cloth diapers? What worked or didn't work for you?
GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty? There hasn't been anything particular but right now I think I'd lean more salty and I normally opt for more sweet.
TTC since November 2015
BFP #1 12/17/15 - MC 1/28/16
BFP #2 4/22/16 - EDD 12/30/16
How far along are you? 7 W and some days
How are you feeling? I *was* feeling fine, until my co worker sprayed bleach all over the bathroom. Now I have to pee, but going near the bathroom makes me feel sick. #pregnancyproblems
Doing anything baby related today? Bumping!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: We got our first real snow fall of the year. White knuckled it to work. I don't mind the snow so much, but freezing rain is a MESS. (which this has turned into) - I'm extra shaky about it after the accident a couple of nights ago, when a tree dropped in the middle of the road.
Questions?
@I9i we're planning to! Well, sorta. We fully plan to use these https://www.thanksmama.com/Bio_Soft_Liners_p/bms-333.htm?1=1&CartID=0
They are flushable, and make it so you don't have to deal with poop messes quite as much, or have diapers waiting to be washed covered in poop. We're also putting in one of these, so we can spray off the diaper right into the toilet.

So my question would be - experienced mama's, with the above set up, would it make more sense to put the changing table in the bathroom? (There is plenty of room, and is a separate room from our bathroom) Or is having it in the babies room better?
Advice I have gotten so far is to buy a lot. A typical new born goes through 6-11 diapers a day, and you'll likely only want to do wash once every two days or so.
Also, cloth diapering is GREAT -until they start eating solids. One of my best mama friends suggested the liners as a savior in the "transition to solid food" stage, but not really needed in the NB stage.
GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty? Salty all day. So gross.
How are you feeling? Crappy today just because I have a terrible headache thinking it's the weather. Other than that just very tired and peeing all the time.
Doing anything baby related today? Just this.

GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty? Varies but mostly salty which is different from when I wa pregnant before because all I wanted was sweet.

GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty? sweet!!!
How are you feeling? So excited! Just had our second ultrasound and found out for sure we are expecting twins! We did IVF and knew it was a possibility since we transferred 2 embryos.
Doing anything baby related today? Nothing now that my u/s is done
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Questions? Anyone else expecting twins? Did you due date change? I know many sites say twins will most likely come early.
GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty? Anything! I feel like I'm eating everything in sight! Ugh!

GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty? Salty. Loving some tortilla chips.
How are you feeling? On cloud 9!
Doing anything baby related today? We had another ultrasound today, which was indescribably amazing! We heard the heartbeat and saw where the brain is growing. The baby is actually looking like a baby, and we got to see our precious son or daughter move and turn his/her back to us. I'm so in love already!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Just so happy, plus I was able to eat more than a fist full of food at lunch today!
Questions? How long is the typical 1st prenatal appointment and is it important for DH to go?
Background: We graduated from our fertility specialist before Christmas and just had our first ultrasound at my new OBs office today. My first appt is next Thursday and DH will be in the midst of preparing for a big trial, so I'm hesitant to tell him he needs to go if he doesn't really need to. I've heard rumors it can take 2 or 3 hours and that would just eat up his entire morning.
GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty? Well, I'm craving any carbs and can put salt on those, so I'll go with salty!
How are you feeling? I wake up extremely weak, dizzy, shaky and nauseous. By noon I'm doing better, just always have a weird feeling in my stomach. Either hungry or nauseous. I feel so out of it during the day. Like I can't concentrate. Mainly because I feel so tired.
Doing anything baby related today? I went to my first ob appointment early this morning!! Confirmed the pregnancy (like 5 positive pregnancy tests didn't confirm it? haha). Just went over do's and don'ts and they took blood work. I go back Jan 11th for the ultra sound.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Just SO ready for Thursday to get here. I'm at work now, I work tomorrow then I'll have 4 days off. I need those days to rest!
Questions? Easy protein snacks to eat early morning to help with morning sickness? Crackers don't do enough. Thanks!
GTKY- What is your favorite food to snack on right now? Sweet or salty? I am not really in the mood for snacking at all. But I definitely prefer salty. I am really into Pho right now!!! I could eat that everyday.
