Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Happy to have hit the 7w mark! I wish this extra snot and congestion would go away so I could breathe.

GTKY- Let's make it easy, have anything fun planned for the weekend? Or are you excited to just be able to relax on the couch? I WISH I could be bff with my couch all weekend but I'm going to NC for a friends dirty 30 bday. Luckily my one friend is also pregnant so we'll be painfully sober together.
How are you feeling? Doing okay. Ready for the weekend.
Doing anything baby related today? No, but I have had A LOT of trouble sleeping and we are going to get a new mattress this weekend. I'm hoping this will help.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm taking the youth I work with to the ballet tonight. Sleeping beauty! Pretty excited.

DH's friends are coming out Saturday to Sunday, so I get to bake and cook a bunch of food for them. Should be fun!
How are you feeling? Very sleepy this morning. I'm SO HAPPY it's Friday!
Doing anything baby related today? Possibly shopping for another pair of maternity jeans. I'm too bloated/fat to button my regular jeans anymore.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm feeling really paranoid today for some reason. I had a loss before at 5 weeks (pretty sure it was a chemical pregnancy) and even though I'm well beyond that, I'm still feeling anxious. I'm on prometrium, so when I have symptoms I sometimes have to wonder if the symptoms are because of the pregnancy or just because of the medicine I'm on. My 12 week ultrasound later this month can't come soon enough.

I'm going to my mom's tonight to watch The Bachelor (our guilty pleasure). My bestie and I are going shopping tomorrow for wedding reception stuff (hubby and I got married at the courthouse and we're doing a reception in February, 3 months later, to celebrate!), and then we're having friends over for board games tomorrow night. OH and buying a few lottery tickets, of course.
How are you feeling? Pretty good actually!
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: positive vibes to everyone, I get so sad when I see a goodbye post :-(
Questions? I had horrible nausea and vomiting For the last 1.5 weeks.. Then yesterday I woke up without any sickness whatsoever. I'm still feeling fine today. Is this normal? It's my first pregnancy so I don't know what to expect. I've heard vanishing symptoms can be bad so I'm a little worried. I have had some random cramping off and on too, but I know cramping is normal.

How are you feeling? BLOATED. That hit hard core this morning and my pants are feeling worse and worse as the morning progresses. Also, can't stop eating carbs. It is all I want.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Will I ever sleep again? The insomnia is ridiculous. I didn't have this with my DD. I actually slept like a rock with her.

GTKY- Let's make it easy, have anything fun planned for the weekend? Or are you excited to just be able to relax on the couch? Plan to relax and fight off any germs I've got from my husband and daughter. They were both sick this week. TGIF!!!
How far are you? 11weeks 1 day
How are you feeling? Much better today, could even have a cup of tea, which I haven't been able to do for weeks!
Doing anything baby related? Bumping!
Rant raves/positive vibes? Just so glad to be wanting some non starch food for a change. Could of killed for an avocado this morning! It tasted so damn good!
Questions? Any cool sites for maternity wear, I've a wedding at the end of March and would like an alternative to a wrap or a lace dress? Maybe even a jumpsuit:)
GTKY- anything fun planned for the weekend? Booking a week long trip in Ireland in March to use up some fab vouchers we got as wedding presents. Babysitting my 1 year old nephew this eve.
Going to call into my dad tomorrow as I haven't seen him since Christmas.
Oh and my hubby has started a new health buzz so we're going to go on a nice walk on Sunday weather permitting (has been raining a lot in Ireland lately)
How are you feeling? Pretty good

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I need sleep

GTKY- Let's make it easy, have anything fun planned for the weekend? Or are you excited to just be able to relax on the couch? Just hanging out with my 20 month old son
I am 7W2D.
I am feeling like total crap! LOL. I just had my first appointment yesterday and expressed my ongoing vomiting and naseau so last night I took my first dose of Diglegis. It helped first thing and so far no vomiting, but I am exhausted. I am always super exhausted when pregnant, but today is HELL! I am in my office and debating locking my door and closing the blind and sleeping for an hour. I almost cant function!
Oh, and my newest symtom is slight chest pain. No tightness. But more like a pain like I ran really hard and I overexerted myself. Debating if I should call the doc. HMMMM.
Nothing baby related today. Maybe shopping for supplementat maternity insurance. LOL
GTKY- ugh! I feel too bad to even get into myself! I will check in next Friday. Hopefully there is a little more pep in my step then.
Have a great weekend!
How are you feeling? I took my first dose of Diclegis last night, and I'm feeling less nauseated than usual, but still not 100%
Doing anything baby related today? Just this
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I can't wait for these next few weeks to safely pass do I can share my news of this LO.
Questions? When is everyone else spilling the beans to everyone about their LO?
GTKY- Let's make it easy, have anything fun planned for the weekend? Or are you excited to just be able to relax on the couch?
I will be looking forward to couch serving this weekend, although my husband mentioned we have to take down the Xmas decorations this weekend. I am so not looking forward to it...we have two trees and a ton of Xmas decorations up...I have a feeling it's going to take the whole weekend to complete.
How are you feeling? Better than yesterday. Some serious food aversions. I always wake up with immense fatigue, so I let myself linger in bed until it's possible for me to get up. Fighting the nausea tooth and nail! Emotionally, I'm okay right now but I've been crying a LOT. And I'm not a crier. Been dealing with feelings of loneliness, isolation, and the idea that having a baby will 'trap' me in a place I don't really want to live, far from home. I didn't anticipate these feelings!!
Doing anything baby related today? I did cold laser therapy today (a lyme treatment) and acupuncture yesterday. I know that's not typical 'baby' stuff, but both help me deal with the emotions and physical symptoms of pregnancy.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: The hormones of this pregnancy are doing a great job of masking some of the more painful symptoms of my lyme disease! (Which is typical.) For the first time in a year, I can drink orange juice and lemon juice in water (normally I have a severely painful reaction to acid.) It's delicious!!
Questions? Wondering if anyone else is dealing with unanticipated feelings of depression, isolation or loneliness.
GTKY- Let's make it easy, have anything fun planned for the weekend? Or are you excited to just be able to relax on the couch? We're headed up north for a hike and then to spend the night with the guy who married us and his GF. Birthday dinner and fun. I think we'll tell them. She's been struggling to get pregnant again (she has a 9 year old) and we'll try to break it delicately.
It's been a long road- Let's just say that!
How are you feeling? Queasy and tired! Is it 5 yet?
Doing anything baby related today? nope!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Had our first us yesterday got to see the baby and hear the heartbeat! Everything looks good
Questions?
GTKY- Let's make it easy, have anything fun planned for the weekend? Or are you excited to just be able to relax on the couch? may give in and look at a baby store or two just for fun
How far along are you? 9 weeks!
How are you feeling? A little better than yesterday - throwing my husband out of the bedroom was needed.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope. Bumping!
****TW - mention of a loss 25 years ago (my mother)****
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm so annoyed. My nosey Nellie of a co-worker was harping on me today about how I "shouldn't have told anyone before the end of my first trimester" and how I am "going to jinx myself." If I have a loss at this point, it may be due to many things but I promise, the fact we've started planning assuming everything will be fine will NOT be one of those reasons. We waited until after an "all clear" from the doctor. The doctor said with everything looking as well as it does, our chance of a loss drops to 3% then in three weeks to 1%. To me, a 2% difference in statistical probability is not enough to delay telling people. especially since I am rocking one hell of a blump, sick to my stomach, and suddenly needing three doctors appointments in the next month. People at work were (including her) starting to worry, "Are you okay?" We also have a lot going on in the next couple of months at work, so planning around me being out for 2.5 months needs... planning. Please don't imply I have killed my baby by letting the cat out of the bag - AFTER the go-ahead from my doctor. And the end of the first tri is NOT some magical *nothingcanhappen* moment - my mother had a second trimester loss, so I have an angel for a baby sister. It can happen. The reason was not because she told people she was expecting, it was low amniotic fluid, which the doctors are watching for with me. #endrant

DH is out of town for work so I will be sitting around and relaxing.
How are you feeling? I got cocky this morning and didn't eat saltines as soon as I got out of bed. I thought I would be fine since the nausea medication was working. Wow was I wrong.
