GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more?
Expecting baby #1 August 2016
Already have three furbabies- Blake, Sydney, and Chester
Re: Tuesday Check In
How are you feeling? Sore boobs, bouts of nausea and bloated
Doing anything baby related today? Just this
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: happy to be this far along, and hit 8w tm! Ready for my next appt at the end of this month.
Questions?
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? This is my first, planning on two but we'll see how this goes first.
How are you feeling? At this very moment, WONDERFUL. But once I get moving for the day, I generally start to feel sick tired.
Doing anything baby related today? Nothing planned today
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I am ready to hit 9 weeks. I feel like its mini milestone.
Questions? Nothing right now
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? Yes this is our first kid. We debated moving a few weeks ago because our house appraised really great and the market right now is great. But we LOVE our neighbors and commute to work, so we are going to stay for a few more years I think.
How are you feeling? Sick. Caught something at work
Doing anything baby related today? Looking at nursery ideas to keep my sick self occupied, I should probably be studying.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Feeling a bit stressed about budgeting while I'm in nursing school
Questions? Nope
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more?
First one. I'd like one more, but we'll see how this goes.
How are you feeling? Physically pretty well. A little bit of sickness in the morning. Emotionally I'm a mess. I've never been so moody, snapping at everyone! I'm scared because I've heard my DP say things like "you're so shitty lately." "What's wrong with you? Who are you!?" And my poor daughter... She's like who is this person pretending to be my mother!! I have no patience and I'm getting on my OWN nerves!
Doing anything baby related today? Nope. Gotta go to work.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: See first question
Questions? When will I be nice again
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? This is my second. My daughter just turned 14 a few weeks ago.
How are you feeling? Occasionally nauseous, mostly tired.
Doing anything baby related today? Not today
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I have my 2nd u/s tomorrow as well as my first appointment with the doctor I think I'll be seeing throughout this pregnancy. I invited my mom along (this is her first grandchild), but now that's making me even more anxious about not getting good new tomorrow. I just want to fast forward to tomorrow afternoon and see a healthy little baby in there...
Questions? NATT
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? This is our first, and yes, either one or two more.
How are you feeling? I'm feeling pretty good, no complaints!
Doing anything baby related today? I ordered a belly band
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: In one week I have my first appointment! I'm really excited but slightly nervous.
Questions? None
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? This is our first! We are thinking two or three. We've considered possibly adopting to grow our family to that two or three as well.
TTC since November 2015
BFP #1 12/17/15 - MC 1/28/16
BFP #2 4/22/16 - EDD 12/30/16
How are you feeling? I'm queasy in the morning but have been feeling a lot better in the afternoon. Hoping this continues!
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: At recess today a kid was running by me and somehow elbowed me in the stomach. Not even sure how she got that close but it knocked the breath out of me. I realize now she hit me in my upper stomach but at the time it really scared me. Going to have to be more careful around the kiddos I guess.
Questions?
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more?
This is our first. We've always thought we would have two. My SIL and BIL only have one and I think it made me realize I definitely want two.
- 5 weeks, 1 day
How are you feeling?
- totally fine. Which is creepy because it's twins this time.
Doing anything baby related today?
- working to pay the bills!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
- still haven't told hubby of the possibility of twins yet. He hasnt yet gotten totally excited about the fact that we're pregnant already as the fertility clinic gave us a 6-8 month treatment plan and it happened on the 2nd try. I'm waiting for the 6 week ultrasound to see fetal poles and heartbeats to share the good news. No use stressing him out now if something bad should happen and we lose one early on, right?
Questions?
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more?
This will be our 2nd/3rd. We have a 2.5 year old son who had practically the exact same due date. That time around we did clomid & IUI and got two eggs but just one baby. This time we did clomid and timed intercourse and two eggs and hopefully two babies! If the twins stick I would be okay being done building our family unless we adopt as this would be my 2nd c section. If it's a singleton I will try my best to convince my husband for a third.
Our little lightbulb is on the way!

How are you feeling? Not too bad. Bloated as usual, but also super well-rested after a 10-hour sleep!
Doing anything baby related today? Probably not other than maybe some browsing online for maternity clothes.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: My rant is the same as it always is.. people who are rude and ask ignorant questions. Positive vibes... these past few weeks have gone by fast! 2nd trimester.. I'm ready for you!
Questions?
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? FTM! Probably planning on a second and maybe a third but definitely going to play it by ear.
Good-- finally starting to get my energy back!
Doing anything baby related today?
I am not. Busy season has hit in full force for work, so from now - March, my focus will be there.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Rant- I feel like I'm showing faster with this pregnancy, even though it's only #2. My dress pants for work are getting rather tight.... may be time to break out the belly band as my maternity pants are still far too large for me!
Questions?
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more?
Baby will be child #2 for us. DD is 18 months (had her 18 month checkup yesterday and she took her shot like a champ-- no crying!)
How are you feeling? Most tired, kinda crampy. Not so sick anymore, so I'll take it!
Doing anything baby related today? Probably not. Potentially "window" shopping online depending on how my work day goes
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I want to sleep a whole night! What the crap, 2nd tri better bring good sleep.
Questions? I think I'm swaying from team green to finding out. I feel zero connection right now, like I forget I'm pregnant most of the time (I know that's horrible). Anyone else going thru this? I feel bad, maybe it's because this isn't "new" to me?
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? Nope, I have a 10 and 4 year old boys. This is 100% THE LAST ONE. DH is getting snipped whether he likes it or not.
How are you feeling? Still horrible. Nauseous 24/7 even being on meds. I still have a bladder Infection we have been fighting for over a month.
Doing anything baby related today? No just bumpinh
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I have my IPS screening on the 29th a little nervous. My DD had low Papp A we found out through that screening so hopefully all is good with this nugget.
Questions?
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? This is my second and we are done after it. My DD is 17 months.
How are you feeling? Blegh.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: tried a ginger candy this morning and it tasted like I was eating ginger straight up. Blegh. I was at least able to eat chicken last night (in the form of a spicy chicken wrap from Wendy's), but today I just want to curl up in a ball.
Questions? None
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more?
This is our first. We'd like 3, though at this point DH changes his mind based upon how tired/grumpy he is and how tired/sick I am.
How are you feeling? Nauseous and tired
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: is it the weekend yet?
Questions? Nope
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more?
First kid, and we plan to have 3 or 4
How are you feeling? Better. After feeling tired and miserable, I finally have my appetite back and I have some energy!
Doing anything baby related today? Sure didn't.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I really wish I didn't wake up 5 times a night to go use the ladies. I really want uninterrupted sleep. Are you laughing? Yeah me too. LOL
Questions?
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? This is my second. I have 4 frosties that I'd like to transfer but with my age we'll see how many I can have.
(Loss Mentioned and Child Mentioned)
How are you feeling? nauseous, tired, sore boobs, hungry-- basically all the symptoms
Doing anything baby related today? First appointment and bloodwork. They just confirmed the pregnancy and gave me the ultrasound paperwork.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: My boobs have grown two cup sizes in the past week! Yikes.
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? Nope. I have one daughter already. Undecided on whether this will be our last. My husband would say yes. I say probably.
BFP #1: 08/17/2012 DD1 born 05/01/2013

How are you feeling?
Ok during the day. Evening I get sick. Every night I'm miserable and it's driving me CRAZY!!! Last night was the worst so far.
Doing anything baby related today?
Nope. First dr visit yesterday. Just did bloodwork and talked to our dr.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Same old shit! Tired of being sick!
Questions?
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more?
This is my 3rd. There's no amount of money anyone could pay me to go through this again.
How are you feeling? Really tired and nauseous all the time
Doing anything baby related today? First Ultrasound at 3:30!!! Can't wait!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: H and my mom are worried that I haven't been eating enough (Even though I feel like I am constantly trying to get food down, but I weighed myself yesterday and I have gained a pound since my BFP... Boo-yea! So early still and our families are really starting to get anxious to tell people! Hard to keep them quiet!
Questions?
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? First and we always said 2. After feeling to crummy I can't imagine dealing with this while taking care of another child... so maybe 4-5 years apart?

I HATE WORKING IN AN OFFICE FULL OF WOMEN.
Questions?

How are you feeling? Anxious. My next appointment is tomorrow and I just want everything to be okay. I'm sure that everything is fine, but it's still nerve-wracking after a loss. Maybe I'll hear the heartbeat!
Doing anything baby related today? Seeing my best friend and her newborn!! Projecting my baby feelings on her!

Questions? None
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? This is our first. We are planning on 2, but i
How are you feeling? Tired and cranky
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I am in school, finishing up my MBA. I am taking one 3 credit class, and one 1 credit class. The expectations of the college is approximately three hours per week, per credit level. My one credit class is requiring a 3 page paper, a one hour group project, a one hour solo "experience", watch a movie, read 81 pages of one book and the entirety of another, AND a contribution to a group discussion "moodle." - We need to have a talk about credit level vs expectations. I'm FINE with that being the work load for this class, and if that is what the professor feels it needs to be - then this needs to be a three credit class. If not, then that needs to be cut down - significantly. Not okay.
Questions?
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? This is our first, DH wants two. I want one. This is to be determined once the little is here. We'll see how this goes
9w6d
How are you feeling?
Not bad, I've found sipping on watered down juice in the morning is really helping me feel better. That and goldfish crackers.
Doing anything baby related today?
Nurse appointment for blood work/history.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
My cats have worms from fleas. It's so annoying the advantage doesn't work a full month anymore on them. They somehow got a few fleas despite it being winter and now have gross, gross worms. Had to try to pill them last night with the medicine. Success with one cat, other not at all. Have to try again tonight with the second one. Really hoping it works.
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more?
1st one. Will see how things go, but would like 2 or 3 depending, likely 2.
11 weeks 6 days
How are you feeling?
Good apart from an upset stomach followed by toilet issues sorry for tmi! Trying to figure out if it was the coffee I had as its the 1st of my whole pregnancy.
Doing anything baby related today?
Just on here and had a quick look at the 2nd trimester board as my ticker changes tomorrow
Rant/raves/positive vibes? I'm off tomorrow and can't wait for my lie in!
@tjest I think it subsides in the 2nd trimester, youre nearly there! It's not your fault, damned horormones!
Questions?
GTKY- is this your first child? Are you planning on more?
I always thought 2, the hubby says 3! So I think we'll see how we get on with one first!
How are you feeling? Hungry! Thankful my nausea stopped before this cold or eating anything would have been impossible...
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Going to tell my boss next week that I'm pregnant. She's starting to make decision about my workload that are going to start becoming impossible soon, so I figure it's time to tell her. We told everyone at 8w last time, so we'll do the same this time.
Questions? Nope
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? Nope! I have always wanted 3 kids. DH has said two because he doesn't want a middle child. The only way for us to both be happy would be twins this time.
How are you feeling? Lately I've been fretting that I don't "feel pregnant" all that much, but this morning I had a bout of nausea right around that time when I'd digested breakfast but lunch was a ways off. It was unpleasant but kind of reassuring (despite the fact that I KNOW symptoms don't necessarily correspond to the health of the baby).
Doing anything baby related today? Looking into child care costs. Immediately getting overwhelmed and stressed. We also need a new car so the idea of both of those new costs at once is scary.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Today I went to Einstein's for lunch and ordered one of their only sandwiches without cold cuts, a spinach artichoke chicken thing. Then ordered a backup bagel just in case I ended up not liking the chicken thing. I did like the chicken thing -- but still ate my backup bagel. This is behavior I would never do if I weren't pregnant. I am realizing that pregnant ladies and stoned people have a lot in common food-wise.
Questions?
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? This is our first. We would like to have 2 total. I am secretly hoping for twins so that I can be "one and done." If I get pregnant again I'll be considered AMA which brings new challenges, but we'll probably go for it.
How are you feeling? I'm hanging in there.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I haven't thrown up today! Yet.
Questions? Nope
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are you planning on more? This is my 3rd. We've talked about the possibility of a 4th, but we shall see.
How are you feeling? Really tired. The nausea isn't so bad today, but I'm exhausted. I'm also having really big cravings today.
Doing anything baby related today? Bumping and I ordered lead testing sticks, since we live in a really old house.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I can't handle the FB pictures of food, and what's worse is that my sister keeps messaging photos of food/recipes/food descriptions (she cooks, a lot). We're keeping our news under wraps for now, so it's really hard to respond with "Oh, that looks good" when I'm thinking, "OMG, don't talk about food."
Questions? Not today
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more?Yes, this is our first. We're planning on more, but we'll see how this goes. One at a time!
How far along are you? 10w6d
How are you feeling? SO SURLY. Does anyone else have this? I really, truly thought, that I would be more weepy and emotional, since I'm a really outgoing and friendly person, however, it feels more like all - day - long PMS!
Doing anything baby related today? Nope.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I need the surliness to go away. It usually does after I work out, but then it's back when I'm back in the office! Any suggestions? I already have a committed mediation practice. Just go with the flow?
Questions? Hmm... Not right now!
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? This is our first! We're planning on two!
8 weeks today! (no Ticker Change thread I see...)
How are you feeling?
Pregancy-wise, pretty good. I get nauseous in the middle of the night and if I go too long without eating, but nothing too major. I have a cold though
Doing anything baby related today?
No, but last night we announced to my brother & SIL. (We had told the rest of the fam at Christmas but they couldn't be there.) That was fun!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I'm starting to show already (STM), but we don't want to announce to anyone (other than family) until after my first appointment... which isn't for two more weeks. I will have to dress strategically until then...
Questions?
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more?
This is our second (our son is 2), and I'd like to be done after this one. My husband isn't so sure - he might want three. So we'll see.
How are you feeling? Neausous, exhausted
Doing anything baby related today? No
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I havent puked today - yeah!!
Questions? None
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more?
This is our 4th baby! Hoping to have one more after this but we will see how it goes with 4 kids before deciding for sure.
How are you feeling? Tired, but thankful to not be nauseous today. So thankful!
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Poor DD has a double ear infection and what was a viral deal, turned into a nasty bacteria infection. We have new antibiotics and I'm hopeful this will finally get her well. I'm still pretty upset with my MIL for thinking she should be holding DD two weeks ago when she was so sick. Definitely learned my lesson about standing up for my family.
Questions?
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? Second baby. I've imagined three kiddos, but we will see after two.
How are you feeling? My medicine (diclegis) helps the morning sickness some, but today was a rough day
Doing anything baby related today? No
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: you guys. **grossness warning** I was driving home from work and got sick in the car. I tried my best to get it in my lunch bag, but it was all over me and the car. I got home and took a shower and just sat on the floor and cried. Feeling better after a good cry session but I haven't been brave enough to venture out to my car and clean it.
Questions? No
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? This is my first. I've always wanted at least three but I started questioning that as I sat crying in the shower this evening.
How are you feeling? Pretty good. A little nauseous sometimes.
Doing anything baby related today? Not much
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: why do they have to have football games so late at night? I stayed up until 12:30 am watching the national championship and I'm paying for it today. But at least we won! Roll tide
Questions? None
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? Second child. We may have more, but we're just taking one at a time for now.
How are you feeling? Alright. I have most of the symptoms -- extreme bloating, nausea (but no throwing up), fatigue, lightheaded, and last night I woke up to a nosebleed. That was new. I haven't had one of those in years. I also can't seem to sleep without waking up between 3-4 am and then I'm up for hours!
Doing anything baby related today? Just this.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I just wish we could do an ultrasound already. 3 weeks from today before we have our first one. While I was laying there awake I had myself convinced that maybe we were having twins.
Questions?
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more? Yes this is our first. I think we will have one or two more. I would like them fairly close together.
10 weeks today!
How are you feeling?
Had some nausea this morning, just ate dinner and I'm still hungry.
Doing anything baby related today?
Just taking my weekly picture!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Positive vibes everyone!
Questions?
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more?
This is our first baby and we would like at least one more!
11 weeks
How are you feeling?
Pretty nauseous today
Doing anything baby related today?
No just worked
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I'm almost on vacation...3 more days!! And have my first appt coming up soon
Questions?
GTKY- Is this your first kid? Are planning on more?
Nope, second. And bf has a son so third in the house...definitely the last!
