GTKY: What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" name? (A baby name you love but couldn't/wouldn't use)
Re: Monday Ticker Change 2/22
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Very tired, and the nausea started yesterday but it seems to only be when I wake up in the morning and I can settle it by eating immediately. Fingers crossed it doesn't intensify. Also, the boobs are getting huge and achy and I've had random shooting pains in my ribs but not bad.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope, doing okay today. I love that the embryo now has some humanoid features
GTKY: Felix. I love love this name but MH thinks it's terrible. It means happy. That makes me happy.
7 weeks
How are you feeling?
pretty good. I am always very tired but other than that just some nausea here and there.

DH is finally starting to get over his cold. After a week of him having a mancold I am ready for it to be over!
GTKY: What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" name? (A baby name you love but couldn't/wouldn't use)
i really like Annabelle but DH is a teacher and he knows a kid with that name who isn't nice. So therefore we cannot name our child that.
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Boobs still hurt, but other than that, nothing. No nausea or fatigue yet, so that's nice.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm really disappointed that my first doctor's appointment is this Friday. At first, I was excited about not having to wait too long for it. Then I realized it's so early, we might not even be able to see the heart beating... and then I realized, since it's so early, they may not even be doing an u/s. Now I'm super bummed
GTKY: What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" name? (A baby name you love but couldn't/wouldn't use) I don't know that I really have any. I mean, I think some people will give me some serious side-eye for some of the names I have picked out, but I don't care. My favorite boy name is Knox and I love boy names for girls, like Brett or Blake. Judge away, world! I don't care!
Edited to add: I remembered a guilty pleasure name! I love the name Cullen for a boy, but would never use it cuz Twilight.
How are you feeling? I'm actually feeling pretty good. This time around I only have occasional morning sickness. My major issues have been fatigue and gas.
Rants/Raves/Questions? My back hurts so bad! I went into this with a herniated disc and I'm seriously wondering how I'm going to manage when I'm huge.
GTKY: What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" name? (A baby name you love but couldn't/wouldn't use) I love August or Augustus. But it just seems so hipster, I don't think our family could pull it off
How are you feeling? Ok. Sometimes nauseous in the morning, sometimes not. SUPER bitchy. Tired.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I just want the next 5 weeks to fly by.
GTKY: What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" name? (A baby name you love but couldn't/wouldn't use) I love love love the name Stella because it reminds me of Estella from Great Expectations, but it sounds horrid with our last name, so it would never happen.

How are you feeling? Great! I haven't had many symptoms besides being very tired throughout the day and my super sore boobs, so... so far, so good!
Rants/Raves/Questions? RANT – So we went to my husband’s brother’s wedding this weekend, and because it’s a far away trip, we don’t usually get to see everyone face to face at for at least every 6 months. That being said, we decided it would be a good time to let his Mom & sister know that we were expecting… (We decided to tell only our immediate family this early on and telling everyone to keep it hush hush until the 4 month mark). By the end of the weekend, his ENTIRE family knew. I don’t mean just 3 or 4 people, I mean about 60 of them! His Mom doesn’t know how to keep a secret, and I should have known better, but he would have been bent out of shape if we told only my Mom and not his. His sister didn’t say a peep, but his Mom blabbed to EVERYONE! It’s really upsetting that she would do this… I get that it’s exciting for her, but I wish she was just a tad bit respectful of our privacy. I’ve had his family messaging me on FB all weekend. (I guess I should be thankful they are messages and not wall posts! But still… ) That is my rant! I’m sure plenty of you have gone through the same thing with your in-laws. :-/
Feeling: Okay. Sore boobs, and the first waves of nausea hit over the weekend. In fact, I woke up around 1:45 am convinced I was going to puke all over the bed. Fortunately, that didn't happen. I am kicking myself a little bit for not sucking it up and paying for 1-day shipping on the preggo drops/sea-bands I ordered over the weekend from Amazon. But I'll live until Wednesday, I am sure.
Rants/Raves/Questions: So...does morning sickness puking provide any relief? You know, like when you're hungover and puke you usually feel a little better. Or is pregnancy puking its own terrible animal? I've been through this zero times, so sorry if that's a dumb question.
GTKY: My favorite guilty pleasure name is and has always been Adele, because it is similar to a family name while being its own name, and it's just pretty. But not only are Adele and variations of it really popular, I don't want people thinking I named my kid after a pop star, so that's out the window. Nothing against the singer at all, but I don't need to be naming my first born after her. Obviously, I'll have to go with my number two name now, Princess Beyoncé.
How are you feeling? So far so good. I am noticing that I have to pee more often than normal, which is already frequent. Seriously, I feel as if I have the world's smallest bladder.
Rants/Raves/Questions? STM's -- how do you make the transition from 1 to 2?
GTKY: What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" name? (A baby name you love but couldn't/wouldn't use) Olivier "Ollie" for a boy. H hates it, but I've been binge-watching Green Arrow and I'm totally loving the name
Married to DH for 6 years (together for 16)
DS born 12.13.14
DD born 10.15.16
BFP 1.24.18, MC 3.13.18
How are you feeling? so far, so good. Tired and made queasy more easily but no major issues yet. Fingers crossed, that continues!
GTKY: What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" name? (A baby name you love but couldn't/wouldn't use)- Sparrow... it's a cute name and I love the idea of Bird or Birdie as a nickname. BUT, can't say I'd ever pull the trigger with this one and I know my hubby wouldn't :-)
How are you feeling? good... tired, sore boobs, I have been a bit queasy, nothing terrible.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Bummed that I have to wait another 3 weeks before my first appt. 21 more days!
GTKY: What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" name? (A baby name you love but couldn't/wouldn't use) I love the name River, but my bf wouldn't go for it. I think Ryder and River are cute together
DS #1 11/08/10

How are you feeling?
Pretty good, nauseous off and on and sore boobs, also having phantom kicks that are driving me nuts! I know that baby isn't already kicking my cervix!
Rants/Raves/Questions?
How are you ladies passing the time? I'm cleaning and purging but still obsessing over baby. Ob appointment next week though!
GTKY:
I really love Reign, Isabella, and Edward but dh said no to all (the last 2 because of Twilight). Dh pretty much vets any name over 4 letters long though lol.
How are you feeling? VERY nauseous all day long, tired, sore boobs, heart burn, and lately (sorry, TMI) diarrhea (I think it's from all of the sugar in the carbs & ginger ale I've been ingesting!)
Rants/Raves/Questions? Anyone else not sleeping great?? I had this same issue when I was pregnant with DS (pretty much the whole pregnancy). I am so tired, but I get so frustrated when I don't sleep well at night - makes for a very long day!!
GTKY: What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" name? (A baby name you love but couldn't/wouldn't use) Michonne (other Walking Dead fans will get that one). But I got big fat vettos from DH and the rest of my family!
Hi Ladies! This is a ticker change thread, so you only post on your respective ticker change day. That's the day your ticker changes from one week to the next.
jlwickes, your ticker change day is Saturday. mommy2owl and lilbabybrown your ticker change day is Tuesday. That's the day of every week you'll be at x amount of weeks and ZERO days.
Hope that helps!
All that being said, it could change for me tomorrow. I wasn't officially puking at all until week 8. Before that it was either dry heaving. or constant nausea. or nothing. Every day was a different thing.
How are you feeling? Feeling ok. All of a sudden it's like I'm done for the day. I feel like I haven't eaten all day, my head and body started aching, just feel weak. (I just had a snack). It's so strange because I've been feeling fine up until about 30 minutes ago.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I've never had heartburn before so I hope I recognize it if I get it instead of suffering through it ignorantly.

How are you feeling?
Mostly bitchy and tired. Super sore boobs, almost to the point of crying if touched. Also some pregnancy brain at its finest.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
First OB appointment w/ ultrasound on Thursday. I'm super excited about it because I used to work at this office. Once we find out that everything is okay, we plan to start telling close friends and family.
GTKY: What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" name? (A baby name you love but couldn't/wouldn't use)
I know I have one, but pregnancy brain.

How are you feeling? better. Nausea is less severe. My energy is coming back.
Rants/Raves/Questions? We told most of our family this weekend and I should have known better. My sister posted on Facebook. Small town and DH's aunt found out on Facebook. I don't have my sister on Facebook because she deleted me after I told her I didn't appreciate finding out about her pregnancy on Facebook, then she posts about my pregnancy on Facebook. I told her to take down the post because I didn't want my DH's family to find out on Facebook and her response was she didn't know she had them on her Facebook. Ugh just respect my privacy! If I don't want it on Facebook, I shouldn't be questioned about it!
GTKY: What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" name? (A baby name you love but couldn't/wouldn't use)
Can't really think of any, but DH doesn't like any old girls names, and those are my favorites. like Rosalie
@rebeccuh I feel better after I vomit, but after a few hours the nausea is back.

How are you feeling? Like garbage.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Not really. Going to start trying unisom out to see if that helps the nausea.. looking at the active med, it's basically benadryl right? Oh well, willing to try something if it means this awful nausea goes away!!
GTKY: What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" name? (A baby name you love but couldn't/wouldn't use) Hattie.. I wanted to name our daughter Hattie so bad and my husband was camp "absolutely never". Womp.
How are you feeling? Good physically aside from cramps, emotionally not so good
Rants/Raves/Questions? I get pregnancy rhinitis. The downside is stuffy nose until delivery, the plus is it takes a really horrible smell to gross me out since my smell is way off.
GTKY: What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" name? (A baby name you love but couldn't/wouldn't use) Cecelia
BFP: February 2016 EDD: October 17, 2016
How are you feeling? It varies. Except that I'm exhausted all the time. Random waves of being ridiculously emotional. Fluctuating nausea. And I've started having major food aversions
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm just getting more and more nervous since I previously had a loss at 9 wks.... I just wish I could fast forward.
GTKY: What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" name? I dont know if I have one. I use to love the name Jayden but now not so much. I really want our children to have a traditional english name and a swahili name but DH isn't super stoked on giving them swahili names even though it's his culture.
What week are you? 5 weeks (yesterday)
How are you feeling? Tired and I think I have a UTI.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm annoyed that my OB practice is booked through March!
GTKY: What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" name? (A baby name you love but couldn't/wouldn't use) I have a few: Ewan, Cohen, Friedrich
How are you feeling? I was fine until today- nausea dizziness and exhausted
Rants/Raves/Questions? Hubby is out of town on business and I havent told him THIS news yet as he was gone when I got my BFP. I cant wait to see his reaction when he sees our son in his "BigBrother" tshirt. SO SO hard to keep this a secret
GTKY: What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" name? (A baby name you love but couldn't/wouldn't use) Oscar (a family name)
