@whaat that sounds like a saucy story.

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: I am being really good about packing my lunch, healthy snacks & drinking TONS of water.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms/Questions: Horrible headache started last night. I broke down and took Tylenol so I could function at work this morning. I felt guilty about it, but was worried if I didn't try something (water and sleep didn't help) it would get even worse. I also POAS again this AM and feel anxious about how it isn't really darker.I keep telling myself that my beta tomorrow will give me better information that a wondfo & to chill out.
When is your next apt?: Tomorrow for another beta + progesterone check. Ultrasounds won't start until my levels are >1500.
GTKY: My first real boyfriend (not counting middle school silliness) was a total nerd. We were more like really good friends who hung out a lot & occasionally made out. He was more in to video games than anything else. It probably lasted 6-8 months. His older brother had a thing for me for years LOL.

What's new with baby (size, development): Baby is the size of a micra chameleon, a wee raspberry, or a blueberry depending on which app you believe.
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: I researched what our costs are going to be based on our current insurance. When I had S I was working and had my own insurance so it wasn't bad. Now that we're all on H's plan it's going to cost a lot more. There goes our tax refund!
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: All the usual ones. I've been really short tempered recently, so I'll blame that on pregnancy. And I've been having crazy dreams and not sleeping well. I don't remember that happening until much later in pregnancy last time.
When is your next appointment: April 11th
GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend! We dated for most of high school and in to the first year of college before going our separate ways. He actually passed away this past year - we hadn't spoken in over 10 years but it was still really sad.
What's new with baby (size, development): dot snail, peppercorn, or apple seed
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: I'm taking a pregnancy support tincture my midwife gave me last time. I don't know if it does anything but I figure it can't hurt.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: the only symptoms I have are acne and crying easily. I expect that will change this week. I've already told a bunch of my coworkers (including my boss) and friends/family because I think waiting til 12 weeks is silly (for me. I know other people have their reasons).
When is your next appointment: A week from today!!¡!¡¡¡!!!!!
GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend! It was in middle school. We held hands a couple times during lunch and recess and talked on the phone, but never hung out outside of school. It didn't last very long

What's new with baby (size, development): Raspberry
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Nothing really. I think mentally I need to get my 10 wk appointment over with first. Then I'll start researching baby gear etc.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Not throwing up as bad this week. Constipation is for real. Boobs are insanely sore again.
When is your next appointment: April 5th with my OB.
GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend! He was older, handsome and athletic. I was obsessed with him until he cheated on me. I found out right before I left for University. I met DH a few weeks later and we're going on 12 years together. I still have him on FB and he is definitely not as cute as he once was.
Hi Ladies, I've been posting on Tuesday but the NP at my appointment last week decided I was a day off so I am here now
Week: 7
What's new with baby (size, development): Blueberry!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: We aren't doing a whole lot specifically for the baby just yet but my husband is working towards a promotion or new job so I can stay home with baby. It's a long shot but I love that he wants that as much as I do. We are telling some more of our family this weekend which I love because it makes it feel more and more real.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: The nausea hit me this weekend for the first time. It's pretty constant but not terrible at all.. most of the time anyway. Driving seems to make it worse so my hour and fifteen minute commute twice a day is rough this week. My boobs are still huge and sore and I'm extra sleepy.
When is your next appointment: Next Thursday, 3/31 at 8w1d. I can't wait to see the heartbeat!
GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend! Unremarkable.
What's new with baby (size, development): Blueberry
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Not too much new this week.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: A bit crampy this week. I'm hoping it's just my body stretching and adjusting. I don't remember being this crampy this early with dd.
When is your next appointment: Have our first ultrasound tomorrow morning. Hoping for peace of mind with the cramps and also confirmation of only one baby. I keep having twin dreams so am a bit nervous about that.
GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend! Nothing special. Young love.
What's new with baby (size, development): Blueberry (funny since the 2y/o is obsessed with them now)
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Making my boyfriend do more work around the house.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Soooo nauseous, exhausted, sore boobs, and aversion to all meat. I can't even think about eating meat without feeling sick. Vegetarian baby on the way.
When is your next appointment: God knows, the Dr. still hasn't called me back!! Supposed to be next week
GTKY: Tell me about your first boyfriend! A short 6th grader who only wanted to look at my boobs.
