What's new with baby (size, development): size of a lentil, heart should be starting to beat
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: I have an ultrasound on Monday, so hopefully I'll see the baby and hear the heartbeat. It's a pretty early ultrasound because my LMP would put me at 8 weeks, but my O date puts me at 6. The doctor said that based on my high HCG levels, we should see something (fingers crossed!)
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Morning sickness started on Monday and omg what a week. The only time I feel better is when I eat, but the though of eating makes my stomach turn. I could probably have a bagel for every meal and be happy.
When is your next appointment: Monday!
GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together? We've been together for 4 years, but we met at summer church camp when we were 9 and 11 years old. He was my first crush, so I looked him up in college and we started dating. We then got married at the camp where we met, and now he's the director there! To add an extra layer of sickly sweetness, his parents met there too It's a pretty important place for our family.

What's new with baby (size, development): Size of an orange seed...looks more like a tadpole with a tail.
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Just making an effort to be mindful of what I eat and do.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I finally started feeling some breast discomfort this week which is refreshing because I had zero symptoms prior to that. Hoping I don't experience ms...I was fortunate with my first and didn't so let's see how his one goes.
When is your next appointment: Had my medical history appt yesterday over the phone and my first parental appt will be on the 22nd at 6 weeks. No ultrasound till about week 9 or so
GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together? We met almost 14 years ago on the beach. Casually dated for about a year and then became more serious after with some bumps in the road because we were young. Got married 4 1/2 years ago and had our first Daughter almost 3 years ago. This will be our 2nd and final. Love our family.
@FallenLeaves1990, feel free to start this thread if you don't see it! There are a handful of us that "go here", but it fills up slower since everyone is sleeping in
Week: 6
What's new with baby (size, development): Maine blueberry or a ladybug
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Nothing yet. We're still kind of acting like nothing's out of the ordinary until our first appointment.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Heavy tender breasts and fatigue mainly. Stomach is starting to feel just a little off, but it's not anything I'd notice if I weren't looking for it.
When is your next appointment: March 21. I'll get an ultrasound, and I can't wait. I want so badly to know everything is ok.
GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together? We met in college. We lived in the same dorm freshman year, and we're just friends for most of it. We started dating at the end of the year - we've been together almost 14 years now... How crazy!
What's new with baby (size, development): Appleseed, whoop whoop
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Nothing yet.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Not many symptoms other than I'm crampy and my left boob is killing me.
When is your next appointment: I just saw my doc on Thursday. Blood test confirmed pregnancy, going for follow up beta on Monday. Ultrasound is March 29th, next actual appt is April 13th.
GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together? We officially met in high school, though he knew who I was in elementary. He's two years younger, so I didn't know him. We have been dating since December 1999! Married since 2006.
I've probably been on The Bump longer than you have.

What's new with baby (size, development): S/he's an appleseedsized lil tadpole!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Trying to come up with names. My husband's been calling him "the prospect" (you know, not ready for the majors yet. still needs some development) and it's really bugging me.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I'm nauseous like crazy, but if the nausea goes away I'll worry myself to death... so I guess I'm content.
When is your next appointment: I go in for a 3rd beta on Monday. My first two doubled normally but they want to keep watching for a plateau because my first pregnancy was ectopic. Then I have an u/s on Wednesday to check that the little guy is in the right spot. I'm REALLY hoping they can say conclusively that everything's ok at that appointment because I'm supposed to fly out to California to visit the in-laws Friday and if we don't know for sure that it's not ectopic by then I'm not going.
GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together? We met in middle school and started dating when we were 14 after being seated at the same table for freshman English. Luckily we wound up at colleges that were only 45 minutes apart in LA and we made it through! Been together 12 years, been married for 2.5 years.
What's new with baby (size, development): Babe is a sweet pea or a lentil and is forming eyes and ears!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Indulge all the food cravings!
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: My nausea is mostly gone, which has freaked me out to no end, but then I brush my teeth and remember my insanely sensitive gag reflex and my coffee aversion (the horror!!) and I feel better!
When is your next appointment: Not until the 30th, at 8 weeks
GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together? We met online when I was in college and we got married about a year later. We'll be married 9 years in May.
@kns1988 I'm feeling the same way with my symptoms. I hate the thought of all good but if I don't eat I get worse. It's terrible. I've also been on the bagel train. However I find potatoes, muffins, rice and other plain carbs have been good too if you're looking for variety! if baby H keeps making me all the carbs I'm going to be HUGE! but totally worth it.
I was away this weekend but I'm doing this anyways!
