JennM205 · February 2016

How many weeks? 11 weeks

What size? Lime!

Upcoming appointments? Had bloodwork drawn yesterday for genetic testing and have my 12 week OB appointment next Wed!

Rants/Raves/Randoms/Questions? Rave! Tonight is my last progesterone supplement!!!!!!!!!! I seriously can NOT wait for my vag to be normal again. (The suppositories have made things quite tender and uncomfortable over the last couple of months.) I've been counting down the days since week 4 and we're finally here! Woohoo!

Symptoms? Full boobs (finally) that aren't sore (finally)! Still nauseous though better on some days. Tired. So tired.

GTKY: Who is your biggest role model? DH's grandmother. She's in her 80's and still enjoys life to the absolute fullest. She takes care of herself and everyone around her but in a non-intrusive sort of way. Like she knows the exact moment someone needs something of her and is there - but not a moment sooner (she's super intuitive). She and DH's grandfather are so loving and caring towards one another which, we I first met DH, was a culture shock to me. (My parents are divorced and both sets of my grandparents, while still married, basically just "tolerate" one another.) She's super open-minded and non-judgmental and just LOVES. She's very friendly and will strike up a conversation with anyone she meets and by the time it's done, they're old friends. DD's named after her (middle name Della). I'm so, so grateful to have her in my life.

How many weeks? 9 weeks I think. I see the doc for the first time tomorrow so we will see if he confirms that.

What size? According to this site an olive. Will find out for sure tomorrow.

Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow is my first appt! So excited. I can't wait to see the look on my DH's face when he realizes there really is a baby in there and I am not making this stuff up

Rants/Raves/Randoms/Questions? Rant . . . I hate that I have been constipated for the last 2 days only to find myself running to the bathroom today in emergency mode. I want to be regular again!

Symptoms? My morning sickness is better today. It seems to be the worst on Sunday's and Mondays for some reason. As the week goes on it gets better, but never really gone!

GTKY: Who is your biggest role model? This is too tough to think of off the top of my head. I have a lot of mentors who I look up to I suppose.

JessicaC0203 · February 2016

@JennM205 So happy that those are done for you! I can't imagine!

How many weeks? 11 weeks.

What size? according to TB a lime. Pregnancy + a fig.

Upcoming appointments? March 8 at 14 weeks.

Rants/Raves/Randoms/Questions? I have figured out better sleep times that help my energy through the day. I am convinced that this a BOY and that makes me excited.

Symptoms? Tired. Tired. Tired. Other than that, everything else is starting to get better.

GTKY: Who is your biggest role model? My mom. She is the best and I hope that I can be half the mom she is to me and my sisters.

JasonKristen · February 2016

How many weeks? 8 weeks

What size? Denise's Pygmy Seahorse (Ovia app)

Upcoming appointments? Next week I meet with the nurse. OB isn't until mid March!

Rants/Raves/Randoms/Questions? I had my first pregnancy dream that wasn't all about sex the other night. I gave birth to a baby boy at home all alone. I called my DH and family, but told them no rush to come. I walked around my house holding my baby with the cord attached and I did not birth the placenta yet. Also, I had zero pain while in labor. So weird!

Symptoms? My boobs are starting to bust out of my bra which was big before getting pregnant.

Oh, the fatigue is terrible right now and I have just felt a little off. It's not nausea, but I am just not feeling the greatest.

GTKY: Who is your biggest role model? This is really hard. My role models have been changing through the years as I grow older and wiser. My mom has always been a great role model.

JasonKristen · February 2016

@JennM205, DH's grandmother sounds like the biggest sweetheart! She is the definition of role model!

ahackett1990 · February 2016

How many weeks? 9 weeks!

What size? A cocktail olive

Upcoming appointments? February 23rd. Feels like forever away. I haven't had an US for a couple weeks and it's making me anxious.

Rants/Raves/Randoms/Questions? So ready to have more energy. I don't even remember what it feels like anymore to not want to take a nap everyday. I liked seeing everyone's bumps in yesterday's thread! I don't really have one to contribute yet, though.

Symptoms? Just tired, gassy (sorry, TMI), emotional.

GTKY: Who is your biggest role model? Probably my mom. She's so level headed and a great listener. She isn't pushy with her thoughts and opinions- just supportive and offers great advice. My DH is a great role model too. He balances me out so well that sometimes I envy his logical and practical advice. He is incredibly patient with me and always talks me down when I'm anxious or nervous.

What size? Prune

Upcoming appointments? 2/22

Rants/Raves/Randoms/Questions?

Symptoms? The nausea is much less frequent thankfully. Now I'm always tired.

GTKY: Who is your biggest role model? This is a tough one. I think it changes based on where I'm at in my life. I look up to different people as good examples of mothers, job-wise, etc.

How many weeks? 9 weeks

What size? An olive or grape.

Upcoming appointments? Just had my first appointment earlier this week. Next one is a month away.

Rants/Raves/Randoms/Questions? It included an ultrasound. It went very well. Baby had a strong heartbeat and everything looked good. I was 8w5d based on LMP, baby measured 8w3d which lines up with when I ovulated. The doctor kept the EDD based on LMP since it wasn't too different. It's only a couple days, but that makes the pressure to induce come a few days earlier. I was also told that I will get a growth ultrasound around 36 weeks since I have a history of large babies - DS was nearly 10 pounds.

Symptoms? The all-day morning sickness is finally starting to get a little (very little) better, but I expect it to stick around for another 2-3 weeks. Energy levels have been low this week as well.

GTKY: Who is your biggest role model? Hhmmm, so many good choices. I guess I will say my great aunt. I miss her.

yellowrose314 · February 2016

How many weeks? 8 Weeks!

What size? Raspberry

Upcoming appointments? I have a midwife appointment coming up on the 26th, and hopefully my U/S in there somewhere... still haven't gotten an appointment time for it yet

Rants/Raves/Randoms/Questions? Nothing fits me right now, which is both upsetting and awesome, because I finally have the excuse I need to wear nothing but leggings and Lulu Lemon pants.

Symptoms? All day nausea, vomiting (but strangely only at about 4 30 am), heartburn, sore boobs, blump like nobodies business, crazy headaches

GTKY: Who is your biggest role model? My mom. She practically raised my sister and I after my dad passed away when I was younger. She's my best friend.

Smashbox29 · February 2016

How many weeks? 10 weeks!

What size? A prune or a Kumquat

Upcoming appointments? Feb 17th!!! Next Wednesday we get to see baby Chilly for the first time!

Rants/Raves/Randoms/Questions? I am anxious and nervous. I am hoping and trying to stay positive we will definitely see a healthy baby on the screen. I am a FTM too.

Symptoms? None, other than some nausea off an on and I gag pretty bad when I brush my teeth.

GTKY: Who is your biggest role model? This is a tuffy. I honestly don't know. Don't get me wrong I love my family but I never necessarily looked up to them. We all are very different.

marajay6 · February 2016

@Smashbox29 I also have problems with gagging when brushing my teeth. I had it almost my entire pregnancy last time. I recently spent the money on a sonic toothbrush. It allows me to brush my teeth without the vigorous movements of a regular toothbrush. I still gag a bit, but it is much better.

lilaros · February 2016

How many weeks? 9 Weeks

What size? A Pecan

Upcoming appointments? My first appointment is tomorrow afternoon. We'll be doing the dating ultrasound. I can't wait!

Rants/Raves/Randoms/Questions? I have had morning sickness so bad that all the vomiting has given me a Black eye (well two actually but only one is really bad). I guess it has to do with pressure on the blood vessels around the eye. So now on top of trying to hide the fact that I am throwing up at work, I am now trying to cover up my black eye. If anyone has a heavy duty concealer recommendation, please let me know. Right now I am using a combo of Mac and Smashbox and it's barely doing the job.

Symptoms? Horrible, horrible non-stop nausea that is worse at night. Right now I am throwing up about 8-10 times a day. I saw my PCP about the morning sickness/black eye hoping I could get a prescription for something and she refused. She said I should take Benedryl. It does seem to take the edge off at night but I doesn't stop me throwing up completely and I can't take it during the day because sleeping at your desk is frowned up at my office

I'm hoping the prenatal doctor I am seeing tomorrow will be more sympathetic.

GTKY: Who is your biggest role model? I have no idea. There are different qualities I admire in many different people.

yellowrose314 · February 2016

@Laraeq which MAC concealer are you using? I'm a fan of the pro longwear, and then I layer Urban Decay Naked Skin overtop (I use light neutral). Then blend with a damp BB sponge. Works like a charm to cover up anything. Also really loving the MUFE new concealer, little bit goes a long way and it's amazing.

Yailani23 · February 2016

How many weeks? 7 weeks

What size? Blueberry or small raspberry

Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow for more blood work & to see if we see baby on an ultrasound.

Rants/Raves/Randoms/Questions? Is the first trimester slow as hell or what?

Symptoms? Tired, boobs are on and off sore and headaches started up this week

GTKY: Who is your biggest role model? My biggest role model is my mom. She's such an amazing woman and wonderful mother. She's so selfless and generous. I love her so much and look up to her.

blondie080300 · February 2016

@Laraeq I am so sorry to read of your vomitting and black eyes!

I don't have any recommendations, unfortunately, but I just wanted to say I am sorry you are going through all of that!

How many weeks? 9 weeks

What size? A green olive

Upcoming appointments? My 2nd appointment is February 29th (Leap Day, yeah!). I am excited to hear the heartbeat but not excited to discuss genetic testing.

Rants/Raves/Randoms/Questions? I am excited to finally achieve fetus status!!!

Symptoms? I feel very fortunate to not have MS still (just the one day and that was 2 weeks ago). I definitely have fatigue though and have taken a few naps or gone to bed early for the past 2 weeks. I also get rumbly tummy a lot at work and have to hold back going #2 at work because I just never could bring myself to do it. So I am just overall uncomfortable a lot and bloated.

GTKY: Who is your biggest role model? I would have to say my mom and both of my grandmothers. I love their vivaciousness and big hearts.
