GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book?
Re: Friday 2-12 Ticker Change
How big is baby? We have a green olive here - which also apparently means it's classified as a fetus and no longer a bunch of cells.
How are you feeling? Good. Tired, but otherwise good.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? My DH has been away for a week and comes home tonight - so excited! That being said he probably won't be home until later tonight and I'm just hoping he'll be home early enough where I'm still functioning enough to say hello and chat and not simply grumble from the bed I've undoubtedly passed out on waaay too early for a Friday night.
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? 'I'll Love You Forever.' It's by far my favorite book of all and one that will bring me to tears everytime I get to the ending. It's also the first gift our little nugget got. It's a tradition to give it away in our family to new moms. My mom gave it to me as the baby's first gift the week after she found out we were expecting.
How big is baby? cardinal tetra fish (I had so many of these in my aquarium when I was little
How are you feeling? slowly but surely feeling better. Still exhausted all of the time but the nausea is appearing only at night.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? went to the lab today for routine bloodwork (iron, glucose, etc.) and realized I brought the wrong order (brought the old progesterone one). Had to go all the way home. At least they didn't do the draw! I would've looked like a drug addict by the time they were done ha.
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? I really loved "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" but was kinda bummed when I watched the movie!
How big is baby? A blueberry
How are you feeling? Very tired, boobs very sore, waves of nausea and bad heartburn. Could be worse!
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I'm just wondering about the heartburn, as it's not something I have experience with. For the last few days, starting right at about 5 pm I get horrible heartburn mixed with nausea. The nausea I can deal with but I'm not really sure what to do about the heartburn-- does anyone have any good remedies for this? It's so uncomfortable and tums don't really help.
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? Hmmm I really loved anything by Shel Silverstein, The Giving Tree was my favorite by him. Can't wait to give my little ones his books! I just think they always had such great messages, TGT especially.
How big is baby? Dice
How are you feeling? I think I have food poisoning. Spectacular.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? Found out yesterday that we are having twins. TWINS. They couldn't see a membrane between them which can apparently be problematic so we have to go back in two weeks. The early ultrasound I asked for to calm my anxiety has had the exact opposite effect. Omg.
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? I loved the Saddle Club series. Obsessed.
11 weeks!
How big is baby?
Bump says lime, Ovia says brussel sprout
How are you feeling?
Good! Mostly just tired and I get REAL crabby if I get less than 8 hours of sleep. Painful boobs still there too.
Rants/Raves/Randoms?
The itchy boobs have started. Any recs for lotions/creams that aren't too thick and will moisturize?

How big is baby? A prune.... really?, they couldn't find a cuter thing for week 10?...lol
How are you feeling? pretty good actually aside from the bloat. The bloat is bad.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? had my first OB appointment yesterday, was hoping for a scan or heartbeat check or anything to confirm things are going okay but nothing. Just have to wait another 2weeks for my first us so not too far away.
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? I couldn't think of anything until The BFG popped into my head by Roald Dahl. Then I found the fear street books by R.L. Stine that I couldn't stop reading.
@SLou24 - if Tums aren't working, maybe try adjusting your diet and see if you can prevent some of it from coming on? Acidic foods like anything tomato-based can be a real culprit, chocolate can be bad (I never thought I'd utter those words), coffee, citrus fruits. Also try wearing looser fit clothing (easier said than done right?) and try to stay upright as much as you can!
How big is baby? a raspberry (which now sounds really tasty...)
How are you feeling? Tired. Hungry. Nauseous. Not always in that order, but tired is always first.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I picked up a stomach bug from work so now I'm also sick
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? The only one that comes to mind is the Phantom Tollbooth. Such a great read.
How big is baby? a lime! or a chicken nugget according to pregnant chicken
How are you feeling? a little cranky and hungry but the morning sickness is subsiding
Rants/Raves/Randoms? 12 week appointment is on Tuesday and my Doppler arrives today.

I'm hungry but can't go to the loo, think I'm gonna need a vat of prunes
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book?
How big is baby? Between a Brussels sprout and a lime depending on the app...
How are you feeling? Very tired and the odd wave of nausea still, still dealing with metal mouth too which is the most annoying and I can't wait to stop complaining about it!
Rants/Raves/Randoms? You guys I have to rave at how awesome my toddler has been this past week. She's busy as hell but has allowed me to nap every day and just sits and plays quietly watching cartoons!
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? I loved the Mercer Meyer Little Critter books as well as read all of RL Stein's Goosebumps books which drove my mom nuts, she wanted me to read girly books!
How big is baby? Prune
How are you feeling? Achy on my back and sometimes when I walk. Blump hard core though and no hiding i'm prego! MS is minimal which freaks me out but we had appt this morning and went well. Biggest issue is still constipation and trying a lot but minimal relief.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? Went in for what I thought was just regular visit and then they bring out Pap test and other tests and that raised my anxiety on what ifs. The entire time I'm trying to calm myself my husband is asking what's for lunch... He's trying to distract me but it makes my eye twitch since no food sounds good when they are about to start poking all up in there!!
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? Phil the Vantrilaquist , no idea why but it was

Size of a lime - I can't believe it
How are you feeling?
2 days this week I almost felt normal ( aside from bloat) today ok except for extreme burpiness! hoping this sticks.
Rants/Raves/Randoms?
Just waiting on that genetic testing on Tuesday.. I've been saying "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it" and now the bridge is in sight. I'm hoping and praying every day that everything will be ok.

@AnnaS930 thanks for the advice! I haven't really had any coffee this week due to being sick, and I've been trying to figure out other things that may be causing it. Thanks for your insight!
How big is baby? Kumquat, prune, Lego man or, my favorite, a petit four
How are you feeling? So incredibly nauseous still. The past week has been the worst for MS. I've gotten sick every day and I literally slept all day yesterday just so I could not feel nauseous. It's so bad and gross, if I didn't sleep so much, I'd be throwing up all the time. Oh and the acne... ugh! I look like a teenager!
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I'm so happy to be at 10 weeks. I honestly can't believe I'm here. I can't believe I'm nearing the end of the first tri and things are still going well!
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? My favorites were spanish books, one was a book I got from my mom just before she left called "My goodnight book" and the other was the first book I ever read. It was about a little boy that had a new baby sister and he hated how much she cried when she was teething, it was sweet in the end.
@SLou24 heartburn is the worst. I've struggled with it for years and PP is right. Citrus, tomatoes, chocolate and all that good stuff will make it worse. For some people, yogurt and milk makes it better while it has the opposite effect on others. I'd also stay away from carbonated drinks and fruit juices later in the day.
* EDITED to remove mention of papaya. Some people eat papaya to relieve heartburn but studies have shown that eating unripe papaya can cause miscarriage *
@Katie8687 I've been super itchy this week too! I picked up a Palmer's Soothing Oil at Babies R Us and it's been a life saver. I use it as needed but the directions say to apply it to wet skin after a shower. Pic attached!
How big is baby? Cherry, green olive, grape
How are you feeling? Pretty darn good. Having more skin issues now which is a little annoying but otherwise felt more energy this week. And so hungry!
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I'm tired of waiting to meet my midwife and for the first appointment but it's a week from today so it's getting closer.
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? Lots of Dr. Seuss. If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.The Very Hungry Caterpillar - fits me right now! I also remember loving the Berenstain Bears and Madeline.
How big is baby? Size of a lime! I can't believe how big baby has gotten since last week!
How are you feeling? TIRED! All the time! DH is getting used to it but he didn't understand it at first. Oh and I am so moody. The littlest things upset me. Like last night I saved my leftovers for lunch today and DH asked me if my stepdaughter could eat it for dinner. I instantly got upset. Like NO I want that for my lunch because it is delicious and I will not share! It is embarrassing now but he didn't make me give up my food so I am grateful because it was DELICIOUS!
Rants/Raves/Randoms? RANT: My weekends are never relaxing because my stepdaughter is in basketball and competition cheer so Saturdays are basketball and Sundays are competitions. We have it this weekend and then next and then we are done for the season and I CANNOT WAIT! I know I shouldn't be this happy about it but I am. This has been my life for months and I am ready to go back to lazy weekends!
RANT 2: I had my second appointment yesterday and was told no U/S until 20 weeks unless it is needed. It made me sad but then we got to hear the heart beat which made DH and me very happy. I go back in two weeks for blood work - it just seems like this practice is doing everything SO much slower than everyone else. This is one of the best in my area so I feel safe and I know they will take care of us but it is frustrating!
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? Goodnight Moon, The Giving Tree, and the American Girl books.

How big is baby? A lime!! That seems so big! But I also live in TX and we have mutant limes here
How are you feeling? The last 2 days have been really good. I think I finally got my nausea meds under control. Come on 2nd tri!
Rants/Raves/Randoms? My MIL has been visiting for the last few weeks and goes home on Tue. She's been such a huge help around the house and has been getting up with DS so I can sleep in. She's in my kitchen right now making Shepards Pie, nom nom nom!! while I get caught up on Walking Dead!
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? I loved Bearenstein Bears when I was really little and as a preteen remember loving The Baby Sitters Club. As an adult reading to my son our absolute favorite book is Pout Pout Fish!! If you don't own it, BUY IT! And we love all the Dr Seuss classics.

How big is baby? blueberry
Rants/raves/randoms: It's becoming more real every day, but still feels so hard to believe I'm really pregnant. I haven't had any super obvious symptoms, although I am insatiably thirsty, pee a lot, want to be around my husband every second of every day, have acne like a seventh grader, and crave fruit like a monkey. Oh - and I'm so bloated that I bought my first pair of maternity pants today! At just seven weeks! OK, I guess that's a lot of symptoms...
Favorite book: Anything by Judy Blume
How big is baby? Olive/Grape
How are you feeling? Oh the bloat! Oh my boobs! A little tired, a little more hungry that before (sometimes). Still no sickness, only random bouts of queasiness here and there (I will totally take it!). And totally in love after seeing the little nugget on our first U/S this past week!
Rants/Raves/Randoms? Prunes are my new best friend. Finally, FINALLY, getting my poor digestive tract back on track!
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? Absolutely anything by Roald Dahl, The Fledgling by Jane Langton, and Jeremy Thatcher Dragon Hatcher by Bruce Coville

How big is baby? a grape
How are you feeling? Better then last week, I had a cold and the pregnancy just made it so much worse but I am still super nausea, my boobs hurt so much and I am exhausted all the time, so it is just awesome. I swear this pregnancy is so much worse then last time.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? My DH was sick this past week so on date night last night he was in a crappy mood and decided to take it out on me and we got into a big fight, so that sucked but he apologized and felt really bad about it but the entire night was ruined so that sucked
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? Anything Dr. Seuss
Yes UNRIPE PAPAYA (when it is green, not orange) is dangerous. (english drives me crazy sometimes! I thought ripe was when it is green yet! I am sorry for the miscommunication )
I didn't know about it until my SIL lost 2 babies. When she did a research about it she found out that somewhere they use that as an natural abortive. She asked her doctor and he confirmed. One year later I got a pregnancy journal from Cigna, and it said about avoiding papaya.
