GTKY: If you were trapped on an island with one food, what would it be?

kristah2 · March 2016

Week: five!

What's new with baby (size, development):
well baby is supposedly the size of an apple seed now so that's kinda cool!

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: well cutting down on the coffee is new! And all the usuals like giving up alcohol etc.
DH bought a book so that's really cute!! And I've been talking to the little bean.. Not that it can hear me yet but I feel that connection.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
Rant: DH and my mom gained up oh me last night about looking at the Internet.. They are like "you're going to start thinking something is wrong!"
first of all.. 2 of the main sites I use were provided to me by a doctor. Second of all I don't use it like a bible and to make me think the worst. I use it for positive reassurance when I feel something like cramps and I come here and I see I'm not the only one. It's nice to know it's normal.
but I'm seriously going to lose my mind!'
I said no to volunteering at a food event on the 13 with DH and him and mom freaked out. I'm like well I don't want to commit and back out last min id rather show up last minute you know. And mom is like "you won't get sick until AT LEAST week 8"... Sorry it's been 27 years since you've been preggo, I forgot you remembered it all and the obstetrician and gynaecology association of Canada website is probably wrong in saying around week 6.

Woah. I needed that rant.

When is your next appointment:
I have apt number 1 on Friday with my GP. See what happens after that!

GTKY: If you were trapped on an island with one food, what would it be?
Coffee. Even if I only get the little bit I'm allowed right now, I would face everything else up for it.

Week: 4

What's new with baby (size, development): still teeny tiny!

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: nothing yet.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Still just crossing my fingers for this one to stick. Have had some cramping, frequent urination, and bloating, no other symptoms yet. It's still early.

When is your next appointment: got my first blood draw today and once I know the results, they will probably schedule another. Since I didn't have a period after my mc at the end of January and got KU straight away, they aren't sure how far along I am. I'm pretty sure I'm between 4 and 5 weeks.

GTKY: If you were trapped on an island with one food, what would it be? Lasagna

BabyVB118 · March 2016

Week: Four

What's new with baby (size, development): Baby is the size of a poppyseed

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Planning how to tell my best friend and my husband's immediate family this weekend. Everyone else will find out later. I'm going to buy some books and a pregnancy journal too.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: My only symptoms so far are a little cramping and a slight feeling of indigestion which is accompanied by a lot of burping. My husband thinks it's hysterical. I'm also a lot thirstier than usual so it's very easy to drink at least the extra bottle of water/day I committed to when I found out.

When is your next appointment: I have a confirmation appointment in 2 weeks on March 15 at exactly 6 weeks and an ultrasound on March 31 at 8+2

GTKY: If you were trapped on an island with one food, what would it be? I think I have to say pizza. It's the one thing I can't imagine getting tired of.

aligayler · March 2016

Week: almost 5 weeks (on Thurs.)

What's new with baby (size, development): baby is nearly the size of an appleseed

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: lots of reading and making sure food intake and exercise is priority.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I'm really looking forward to being less stressed out with the constant excuses/hiding of pregnancy! I've forever been a terrible liar, but I never realized just how difficult this would be keeping such a secret from family and close friends so early in the process.

When is your next appointment: appt. #1 isn't scheduled until April 4th, which will put me at almost 9 weeks - is that normal?!

GTKY: If you were trapped on an island with one food, what would it be? Spaghetti and meatballs!

sweetlyuntied · March 2016

Week: 5 weeks

What's new with baby (size, development): Appleseed

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Unfortunately not much other than trying to get back to eating healthier.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I have all the rage this week. Yesterday at work the littlest things were making my blood boil. It's all crankiness from when I wake up until about noon, and then just sleepy.

When is your next appointment: March 22nd

GTKY: One food? If I was being strategic I'd say something with a high nutritional value - like some sort of salad topped with lots of protein. Because you know...desert island and not wanting to die of malnutrition or scurvy or what have you. But if I had to choose something just based on taste it would be my mom's mac and cheese.

ShallowSeas · March 2016

@aligayler if you didn't work with an RE and were not on fertility meds then 9 weeks is normal for your first u/s

spacepotatoes · March 2016

Week: 4

What's new with baby (size, development): poppy seed

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: nothing yet. I do plan to pick up a Big Sister shirt for DD this week so that we can tell our parents on the weekend.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I only teach in the mornings this semester but I am still SO freaking tired when I get home every day. I need to stop wasting my afternoons. Otherwise, symptoms have been fairly mild this time around compared to DD, which makes me a little anxious but there's still plenty of time.

When is your next appointment: confirmed on Mar. 31st.

GTKY: If you were trapped on an island with one food, what would it be? pasta, garlic bread, and caesar salad. I went for one meal instead of one food but really, you can't have one of these things without the others!

spacepotatoes · March 2016

@kristah2 My morning sickness with DD started around week 5 and I was on meds for it until 20 weeks. This time, I shit you not, 6 dpo. I was throwing up on 10 dpo. It's been ok since but I'm not optimistic. 8 weeks is definite BS!

@aligayler That's pretty standard.

talkthewholetime · March 2016

@aligayler - you'll post on this thread on Thursdays if you're 5 weeks on Thursday

This is for people who are a new week on Tuesday. There will be one each day (as long as someone starts it, lol)

kns1988 · March 2016

Week: 4

What's new with baby (size, development): poppy seed

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: I'm eating tons of fruits and veggies. I usually eat pretty healthy, but I've been ramping it up this week.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I'm tired of being tired already! I have a fitness instructor friend who's 6 months pregnant and looks awesome. I want to be like her, but I don't know how she has the energy for it.

When is your next appointment: 3/16

GTKY: If you were trapped on an island with one food, what would it be? Sushi! I'll be missing it...
