I grabbed the wrong GTKY!!! This week's is: GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together?
Met him at work. We had a total meet-cute in a very small space. It took him 6 months after that to work up the courage to have a conversation with me and ask me out. We moved in together after 2.5 months, were engaged less than a year from our first date, and married 6 months later and I wouldn't change a thing. We've been together for 2 years, 5 months.

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Nothing at the moment, maybe sleeping more only because I'm tired all of the time.

When is your next appointment: March 29 - it cannot get here soon enough!

We lived in the same apartment complex and one of his friends invited me to a house party. I was new to town so I went (looking back I was incredibly stupid considering how well I knew said friend). We have been together 7 years and married for four.

Week: 6
What's new with baby (size, development): Baby is the size of a sweet pea (.25 inches)
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: well I had to get some MS chews yesterday so there is that. Also, DH is now being more cautious with what he wants me to do around the house. For example, he trimmed up a plant yesterday afternoon but didn’t want me to help clean up the clippings because the plant is poisonous (like poisonous if you ingest it –not poison ivy or something).
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Not too much in the symptom department. Cramping is almost all but gone, a little bloated, my hair is greasy faster, I have slight “waves” of MS but not a whole lot (I can still eat plenty) and my bras are feeling a little uncomfortable, but that is it. On a non-pregnancy related note, I had Olive Garden last night and it was delicious!
When is your next appointment: March 18th – about a week away and I am equally nervous and excited!
GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together?
My husband’s grandparents went to the church I grew up at. He visited as a child. Later on as an adult, he started coming to the church on his own. I was involved in the music and he actually helped with the sound/electronics department. About three years later he was single, I was single, so we started going out. We’ve been together over 6 years and married for about 5.

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: we bought our first decor item for the room. A cute little fox pillow. Other than that we are just trying to make sure we are being smart about finances.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Still have the really sore boobs. They woke me up last night because I rolled over onto them. Other than that, I have the occasional cramp/back pain, I'm really tired starting at around 7:30 at night and I have some slight nausea in the mornings, but nothing crazy yet.
When is your next appointment: March 24th
GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together?
We met through mutual friends. I was in college and had come home for the summer when I met DH. We became fast friends and were together or talking pretty much every day and decided to start dating a month later. We dated for 5.5 years before getting married and have been married for 3.
What's new with baby (size, development): Baby is an appleseed
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: TBH (no flaming please), I'm spending some time on here today so get myself in a better frame of mind over this pregnancy. I don't think it's hit me yet, and may not until I go in to hear the HB. Still feeling a bit in denial.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I had no morning sickness whatsoever with my daughter, and so far none with this one either! Am I lucky enough to get away with it twice? Still waiting for it to start.
When is your next appointment: March 24
