First appointment is next Tuesday, at 10w5d, with our midwife. I'm just praying we hear a nice strong heartbeat.
Still sick, tired, can barely adult.
Sister in law's baby shower is Saturday, and I was the one planning/hosting it. But thankfully my good friend stepped in and took it over for me. All I have to do is decorate tomorrow and show up Saturday. Hoping I can make it through.
GTKY: I have 3 siblings (2 brothers and a sister). I'm the oldest. I wouldn't say we're super duper close, but we definitely get along and have each other's backs.
Upcoming appointments? Not til 3/14 now since my boss just rescheduled a meeting during the time of my appt. that was scheduled for 3/7.
Rants/Raves/Questions? We just got a king size bed last month and it has been like sleeping on a cloud! Why on earth did we wait so long to upgrade?!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Today has been my 1st nausea free day and I really hope I didn't just jinx myself! The nausea has been awful since BFP and I have been such a zombie. I am so over feeling like I've been riding the Tilt-a-Whirl non-stop! Lately I can't seem to get enough apples and corn dogs. I was dying for a cherry coke the other night and it definitely did not disappoint. Oh and a tenderloin sandwich from Culver's sounds AMAZING! Aversions are eggs, chicken, and pretty much anything at dinnertime.
GTKY: (stealing from Monday) How many siblings do you have and are you close? I have one sister and we are super close. We talk everyday (multiple times/day) and see each other at least once a month.
How many weeks? 14 weeks, welcome 2nd trimester!!!
What size is baby? Lemon
Upcoming appointments? 16 week appointment with the midwife on 22nd wife. Can't wait to hear the HB for the first time.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I really dislike rude, undisciplined children. Work as a nanny with an adorable 6 month old and her unruly 2 year old sister. Simple manners takes you far...
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? MS has eased off but still finding it difficult to brush my teeth without gagging most days. I think I need to change my toothpaste.
GTKY: (stealing from Monday) How many siblings do you have and are you close? I have 6 siblings (2 full siblings and the rest are half with 1 being a different dad and 3 sharing the same dad but different mums) 2 of my siblings I've never met and I would say I'm close with my only sister (full sibling) probably because we're 11 months apart.
@sunshineinmay09Good luck at your appointment on Tuesday!! @JLmama118 I can't imagine not having siblings. A lot of my only-children friends had/have some intensely close sister-like friends (or cousins) growing up so I hope the same for you!! Otherwise who was there to get into mischief with when you were a kid!? How many weeks? 14!!! Helllll-oooo second trimester!
What size is baby? A lemon
Upcoming appointments? Not until 16 weeks
Rants/Raves/Questions? Announced my pregnancy at work today. Everyone loved the munchkins (thanks @AnnaS930). Even though my team is all guys, they were pretty excited and are kind of into it, which is cool. It's starting to feel real now and I'm getting excited!!!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Aversions have finally lifted; I'm craving sugar and dill pickles; Mild headaches and some fatigue are pretty much my only symptoms now. I'll take it over the extreme nausea ANY day!
GTKY: (stealing from Monday) How many siblings do you have and are you close? I am the oldest of four with two sisters and a brother. One of my sisters is only about 18 months younger than I, has a daughter 6 months younger than mine and a baby on the way in May. We're pretty close even though we live in different states. My youngest sister is 8 years younger and my brother is 9.5 years younger. So we're "close" but only as much as life allows (they're in college and understandably just have different life priorities/goals right now).
Upcoming appointments? 3/14 is my first OB appointment.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Anything bad for me. My appetite has been insane. I am surprised I can still fit into my pants.
GTKY: (stealing from Monday) How many siblings do you have and are you close? I have two sisters. We are super close. Talk almost everyday and see each other weekly or every other.
12 weeks. I was supposed to have an appointment yesterday, but I had to cancel because I didn't have a babysitter. I need to call and make another appointment, but this time I'm going to talk to my babysitter first and see what times she is available.
Symptoms are few. I want to eat, but nothing sounds good. Actually, everything sounds really revolting.
I have 7 siblings. 3 sisters and 4 brothers. I'm pretty close to all of them. Especially my sisters. I don't see my brothers as often, but I know they've got my back if I need it.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Like so many others here, the symptoms are easing up quite a bit. I love feeling a it like myself again.
GTKY: (stealing from Monday) How many siblings do you have and are you close? 2 older brothers. We get along great and I guess we are close - I am definitely closer to one than the other. My oldest brother is married to his high school sweetheart - they just had their 10th anniversary but have been together for nearly 20 years. So I definitely consider her a sister
Upcoming appointments? March 17th is our elective Anatomy Scan. I can't wait to find out if I am carrying a he or she!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I am anxiously waiting to find out where hubby will be stationed next so we can start planning!!!!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Brushing teeth, and I am craving a cold cut sandwich like nobody's business. I am tired of heating up my meat.
GTKY: (stealing from Monday) How many siblings do you have and are you close? Technically I have 4 siblings but was mainly raised an only child. My mother only had me and was 'Fixed' lol. My dad has 5 kids total with 4 different woman. 3 of them are biologically his but he only raised his two step kids. My older half Brother and younger half sister were raised by their mothers like me.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm already so tired of the constant bathroom breaks, and I know it's only going to get worse
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? No to any meat or veggies, yes to all the breakfast foods. Dying a slow death from nausea. I literally force myself to eat something every few hours, I usually love food and enjoy cooking so I miss that a lot.
GTKY: (stealing from Monday) How many siblings do you have and are you close? I only have 1 younger sister and wouldn't say we are super close, she is 5 years younger than me so we were never in the same stage together. Now I live far far away so we don't see eachother often.
How many weeks? Hooray for 12 weeks!!! It is nice to see a few of us on here with the same due date!
What size is baby? A plum but I still am not really showing yet. Just in my hips, thighs and booty.
Upcoming appointments? March 28th will be our 16 week check-up. We just heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time on Monday though.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Saturday is the day we reveal the pregnancy to a majority of our closest friends. I am telling my boss tomorrow if she comes to work (she has been sick all week). Then I think I will tell the rest of my office and do our posting on Facebook next week before our 1 year wedding anniversary. Or we may wait and reveal it then. I am not sure yet. But either way, I am excited to finally start cluing people in!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? The fatigue is slowly easing up. I have some good days now which I never really had before so the bursts of energy to run errands or get work done are great. I still have days or moments where I want to pass out, but I am optimistic I will have more good than bad days soon. I have started getting light dizzy spells and headaches but I am not too bothered by it yet. But I do fear the pregnancy brain is getting WORSE ( I hope I survive until the due date!). I am such a klutz and keep hurting myself (luckily nothing serious yet but still).
GTKY: I have 2 siblings (one older brother who lives in Memphis + his wife and my older sister lives in Ohio + her husband). I am the baby and live in Michigan where the majority of our family resides- so I am the good child for sticking near our parents, haha. I am really close with my brother but my sister and I love each other and are getting a little closer as we age. She is so pumped to finally be an aunt after having 2 kids herself so I think the pregnancy and baby will bring us even closer.
Married: 3/21/15 First time mom to a human but have been a puppy mamma for over 12 years
Upcoming appointments? We have the NT scan and genetic testing on Monday; I'm a nervous wreck.
Rants/Raves/Questions? The universe was trying to tell me I should have stayed in bed today. I have another cold coming on and my throat is on fire, I woke up and thought it was Saturday and was sorely disappointed when I realized it was only Thursday, and my ice vanilla coconut latte from Starbuck was missing the vanilla.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I've been wanting Eggo waffles for breakfast and bananas, nuts, and oranges for morning snack.
GTKY: (stealing from Monday) How many siblings do you have and are you close? I'm the youngest of four. My brothers are ten and thirteen years older and my sister is 13 months older than me. My sister and I fought a lot growing up and didn't become close until I was pregnant with LO. Despite the age difference between my brothers and me, we are quite close.
First time check in here. I had a rough few weeks with a SCH. I'm hoping to join more regularly from here on out.
How many weeks? 11 weeks
What size is baby? Lime
Upcoming appointments? March 31st.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave! We found out through a blood test that we have a healthy baby girl! My 3 year old DD is thrilled, my DH is a little disappointed, but he's happy.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Nausea seems to be subsiding along with the intense hunger. I love oranges and orange juice right now though!
GTKY: I have a sister 4 years younger and a half sister 10 years younger. We are not super close, we are very different, I attribute it to growing up primarily with different parents.
10 weeks today! finally in the double digits. I have to schedule an appointment soon I was cutting up lemons today and sucked on one and it was so freaking delicious. My taste buds were so happy. It was the funniest experience. I proceeded to suck down a half of a lemon. Weird. I have 5 siblings. 4 sisters and a brother. We are all extremely close. My closest sister is 11 months younger and a marine. Most of us got together tonight and cooked my mom a birthday dinner. I feel really blessed to have my family. I love them dearly.

Yay @mhilpisch10 I'm 10 weeks, too! It's great to hear from everyone on here, although I often feel so behind with my EDD of Sept 29th.
Baby is the size of a kumquat or lego man
Midwife appt next Tues the 8th - excited!
Rave! We announced on FB today and it felt SO GOOD! My husband also announced at work and everyone was so supportive. We're feeling really surrounded by love right now.
Symptoms: Boobs - effing OUCH already. I can't hug people! Also still with the middle school acne. Ugh.
Cravings: Swedish fish!! Finally gave in and they tasted like heaven!
Aversions: All meat. Fish is ok but def no mammals or birds. Ick, feel sick just thinking about it (not usually a vegetarian)
Siblings: I have a brother who is almost 8 years older. We've had a very tumultuous relationship, but seem to be at a relatively peaceful point right now. He lives of on the other side of the country, which helps, but I do miss my nephews (10 & 12)
How did I not see this yesterday!? I was looking for it too!
How many weeks? 14
What size is baby? Lemon
Upcoming appointments? Just had one on Monday. Next check up is 3/28
Rants/Raves/Questions? Not at the moment
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Finally got more Diclegis so it's helping majorly with the nausea. Drinking an astronomical amount of water has helped with headaches. I still don't care for hot meat. I still love flavored milk and I normally don't drink milk a lot. Milkshakes have been a staple in my diet lately.
GTKY: (stealing from Monday) How many siblings do you have and are you close? I have one blood sis, one step sis and one step bro. My blood sis lives a few streets away but I don't hang out with her a whole lot. I already can tell that's going to change when Baby comes. She wants to hang out more. I live about 45 min - 1 hr (depending on traffic) away from the rest of the family so I just see them on holidays and Birthdays. I see my Dad every Day since he's my Boss.
