Re: Sunday Ticker Change 3/13
How big is baby? Blueberry
Most common symptoms? Exhaustion, food cravings, food aversions, occasional nausea, bloating.
Rants/raves/questions: Some of my pants are starting to be very snug, and I am struggling to button them. Oh no!! My DH and I went to go look at Gap Maternity jeans, and I ended up buying two pairs!!! They are the most comfy jeans I have ever owned!! No shame in wearing them at only 7 weeks.
GTKY: Are you planning a baby moon? If so, when and where!? We were planning on booking a baby moon to Cancun after the first trimester was over, and were wanting to go when we were about 5 to 6 months along. But now with Zika...we are hesitant to go to Cancun. I have no idea where to go for a baby moon now, but we definitely want to take a trip somewhere. I'm thinking we may take a road trip somewhere but have no idea where yet, We will definitely stay in the northern part of the U.S. just to be extra cautious.
How big is baby? Size of a lime
Most common symptoms? typically, exhaustion and nausea
Rants/raves/questions: i currently have the flu, which sucks and i was informed by my ob this week that he doesn't want me going to my sister's wedding in Aruba in June, so between the congestion from the flu and crying all of the time about the wedding, i feel like my head's about to explode at any moment due to the insane pressure in my sinuses. on the bright side, it seems like my nausea has subsided a bit, so it's been nice to be able to eat.
GTKY: Are you planning a baby moon? If so, when and where!? We're not planning a babymoon, but we have a couple of trips lined up. I'm going to Nashville with a good friend for her bachelorette party in April. My husband has to go to chicago for a work conference in July so we're turning that into a nice little family vacation. As far as my sister's wedding goes, i'm not cancelling yet because there isn't enough information about zika yet, but if it turns out that i cannot go for sure, my husband and i will be going somewhere else that long weekend. (1. bc he knows what an emotional wreck i'm gonna be at home while my ENTIRE family is in Aruba for the wedding and 2. bc it's our 5 year anniversary.) Stupid Zika!
How big is baby? Playing die
Most common symptoms? Crazy exhaustion, just started getting some nausea and food aversions.
Rants/raves/questions: Heading for my first OB appointment tomorrow. Hoping I get the all-clear to fly to Florida this week!
GTKY: Are you planning a baby moon? If so, when and where!? Well every summer we go to the Jersey Shore, so it's not a baby moon per se but it will be a fun getaway at 22 weeks. We were planning a fall trip to New Orleans but that will have to wait!
How big is baby? A lime
Most common symptoms? Exhaustion, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, possible round ligament pain, huge sore boobs
Rants/raves/questions: My cat and one or both dogs apparently now have sympathy MS. Ugh, cleaning up after sick animals (only to get rid of the smell) at 6am doesn't help my own all-day MS that's already kicking my ass this weekend
GTKY: Are you planning a baby moon? If so, when and where!? Maybe a little summer weekend beach trip

How big is baby? Blueberry
Most common symptoms? Tired, bloating, random not consistent nausea, back pain, peeing often, irritability....
Rants/raves/questions: Most scared of telling my 7 and 5 year old as we are a blended family and this baby is from their stepdad. My 7 (almost 8) year old has had a hard time with her dad and I divorcing 3.5 years ago and she's said many times that she wants more siblings but not at the expense of her stepdad and I having sex. We had the birds and bees talk a month ago as due to things kids said at school she had many questions.
GTKY: Are you planning a baby moon? If so, when and where.
We were going to take the kids to Disneyland near the end of Spring but I don't think I should be going on the rides. So were going to take a summer family vacation to a local theme park!

We took our kids on a mini vacation to Victoria and saw an Imax and went to butterfly world. They had a blast. We probably won't have time before October to have another vacation, because of our job(farming).
How big is baby? A raspberry or wild strawberry.
Most common symptoms? My symptoms have been very mild. Tender boobs but not sore. Tired but not exhausted. Queasy but no nausea. I'm either really lucky or it has yet to hit me hard.
Rants/raves/questions: My first OB appt/US is on the 22nd. It felt so far away when I scheduled it and now it's around the corner! Can't wait for some reassurance and keeping my FX that LO is measuring on time. I would hate to have to go back a few days.

We canceled a cruise we were supposed to take a week after we got a BFP and got a voucher for a future cruise. We're thinking about doing Bermuda in April/May if Zika isnt a concern. If it is, maybe a New England/Canada cruise this summer.
Me: 32 & DH: 37

Rants/raves/questions:
Have my ultrasound tomorrow so really excited!!

no baby moon. We were supposed to go to a cabin the week before my due date but not sure if we will be going now.
How big is baby? Green olive
Most common symptoms? Pretty bad nausea. Morning and evenings are especially rough lately. I've also been eating so so so terrible because if I usually have a craving for one thing and can't stomach eating anything else. A lot of take out lately. I figure these first 12 weeks are survival mode and then I can clean up my diet later.
Rants/raves/questions: Ive been a crappy mom lately. Most of the time when I'm at home I'm laying in bed because I feel so terrible. I really can't wait until I feel normal and get my life back.
Babymoon? We have a handful of family trips planned this summer, oh how I reeeeeeaaaalllllly wish we could escape to Mexico. But between funds and Zika, I don't think that will happen.
Me: 32 & DH: 37

How big is baby? Prune
Most common symptoms? Exhaustion, uncomfortable sleep thanks to huge knockers, constipation, teenage-boy-level hunger!!
Rants/raves/questions: Rave: when DH notices when I feel like crap and takes great care of me
GTKY: Are you planning a baby moon? If so, when and where!? Before I got pregnant we had planned and paid for our first skiing trip in CO for a couple weeks from now, but since I'll be right around 12 weeks my doc said no
How big is baby? A green olive or a jack
Most common symptoms? Sore, painful, boobs, constantly feeling like I'm walking off a tilt-a-whirl (dizzy and nauseous), and complete and utter exhaustion.
Rants/raves/questions: up until now I've had no appetite. It's finally coming back. I'm really looking forward to getting to 10 weeks, this week will be really good to get past. I've planned a ton of things to do to keep me busy. PGAL brain is no fun.
GTKY: Are you planning a baby moon? If so, when and where!? We're going to the Delaware shore at least once over the summer, but no baby moon planned.
How big is baby? Green olive
Most common symptoms: exhaustion and constant nausea and food aversions. Despite all that, somehow managing to gain weight which has me worried. I think I'm actually starting to truly become depressed with how crappy I feel. I hope this starts to taper off soon.
R/R/Q: This is stupid, but at my first appt this past Thurs my OB calculated my due date wrong by one day. I didn't bother to say anything, but later figured out it was because he didn't account for the leap year this year. It's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, except the hospital won't schedule my 1st trimester ultrasound until I'm at least 11.3 days, so now that's 1 more day I have to wait!
Also a rant that my practice doesn't do your first u/s until the one mentioned above. We're hosting both sides of our families for Easter, when I'll be 11 weeks. I wish I could tell everyone then, but don't feel comfortable until I at least have a heartbeat or u/s or something!
GTKY: are you planning a babymoon? Not really. With my first pregnancy our babymoon (early in the third tri) got cancelled due to preterm contractions and bed rest. We're still debating our Disney trip at the end of April, and I want to take DD to the Columbus zoo and Sesame Place this summer.
How big is baby? A lime!
Most common symptoms? Still got that morning sickness. Five weeks of it, going strong! Whomp, whomp.
Rants/raves/questions: Uhm, so I had a string of brownish mucus that came out. I Googled it and I'm now a little nervous that I lost the mucus plug. Apparently they regenerate, so it may not mean anything. But of course it means something TO MEEEEE! I have an ultrasound on Thursday, so hopefully that will help ease my mind.
GTKY: Are you planning a baby moon? If so, when and where!? We're heading to Alaska for a cruise. Unfortunately my mom got it into her head that she and stepdad were coming with... so it looks like it won't be just the two of us.

How big is baby? A prune/date
Most common symptoms? Fatigue is kicking in. Some morning sickness and lack of appetite. That's about it.
Rants/raves/questions: I've never gotten to 10 weeks before so I'm super happy to be in the double digits! Finally told my extended family. Can't wait to tell the rest of the world soon!
GTKY: Are you planning a baby moon? If so, when and where!? Nope, can't afford it. Plus my husband does landscaping and his season will start in a couple weeks. He's saving all his vacation days so he can take a short paternity leave when the baby is born.
How big is baby? Raspberry
Most common symptoms? So tired, super sore boobs, weird food aversions, some queasiness, digestion "issues"
Rants/raves/questions: Excited that I felt good enough & was able to get a bunch of stuff done around the house this weekend.
GTKY: Are you planning a baby moon? If so, when and where!? My husband had planned to surprise me on our anniversary in September with a 12 day trip in Belize, how cool would that have been?! Obviously we had to cancel however. We've talked about going elsewhere but no idea when or where. He's having foot surgery Tuesday & will be out of commission for 3 months...so I guess we'll revisit after that & see what our options are. We are always up for an adventure!
How big is baby? Raspberry
Most common symptoms? Nausea and vomiting, fatigue, loss of appetite
Rants/raves/questions: I didn't realize how big of a caffeine addict I was until I got pregnant! God, I miss espresso.

How big is baby? a raspberry or a 2x2 Lego block
Most common symptoms? fatigue, restlessness, general feeling awful
Rants/raves/questions: This weekend, I felt like I got hit by a train, hence why I'm a day late on here. I didn't want to do anything at all. Thank goodness I didn't have anything planned. I was able to cuddle up on the couch with the dog (she's a great nurse when I'm not feeling well).
GTKY: Are you planning a baby moon? If so, when and where!? We haven't planned anything, yet. But I'd love to go to the beach and lounge around. So many other babymoons sound wonderful, and have definitely given me ideas, though. So, we'll see!
Good luck and if you need anything, just let me know and I can try to help.
ETA: If you haven't already been to Citi-Field, it's definitely the nicer stadium to see/visit. (IMO and i'm a Yankees fan.) They do pre-game events and events in the big food/fan section throughout the game so definitely walk around the stadium while you are there.
@Piperella my cousins went to see Aladdin and they loved it!
