Strawberry
Appointments this week?
Wed. June 1 (if I don't keel over from anxiety before then!)
Symptom changes?
Have had pretty much nothing in the way of symptoms. Although in last couple of days have started breaking out on arms/chest/back. Also, I seem to get really uncomfortably bloated after I eat anything...does anyone else have that?
Rant/Rave/Questions?
I'm on day 21 of a business trip in Europe and am sick of being away from home. Am FINALLY flying home tomorrow and wondering how on earth I'm not going to miss my second flight since I only have 1.5 hours between flights to get my bag, clear Customs, recheck the bag, go through security again and board the plane.

Doc's apt next week to find out if everything is ok, starting to acquire stuff for baby, and going through this experience with DH.
How big is baby? apricot
Appointments this week? Tuesday for panorama and OB visit - finally!
Symptom changes? less nauseated (yay!) , but still super constipated, so tired, have headaches and a new one - dizziness (boo!)
Rant/Rave/Questions? i'm going to a conference for work next week and am still so tired that I don't think I'm going to be able to stay awake through session after session. Blech!
GTKY: Besides having a healthy baby in the next 6+ months, what are you most looking forward to? Getting a new niece or nephew this summer! I LOVE being an auntie!
How big is baby? A fig
Appointments this week? Nope. I have my 12 week next week
Symptom changes? I think they are worse this week. More headaches, more fatigue, more nausea, similar amount of barfing, constipation, and food aversions.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Why can't every day be ticker change day. It occurs to me that then pregnancy would only be 40 days. That still seems way too long.
GTKY: Besides having a healthy baby in the next 6+ months, what are you most looking forward to?
Maternity leave, having our family be complete (though every time I think that I get nervous about this being a healthy pregnancy), The room service at the birthing center (ha). Giving DS a sibling and peer and friend.
How big is baby? A cherry
Appointments this week? None... Next appointment is June 17th.
Symptom changes? Exhaustion and constantly hungry
Rant/Rave/Questions?
GTKY: Besides having a healthy baby in the next 6+ months, what are you most looking forward to? Losing all the baby weight that I know I'm gonna gain from eating everything in sight!!
How big is baby? Lemon
Appointments this week? None, not for 2 weeks
Symptom changes: Less nausea and feeling better overall
Rant/rave/questions: This bloat/blump/bump stage is definitely difficult to dress. Regular clothes are too tight and maternity clothes are baggy. I'm happy to be here but it's tough for cute summer stuff.
Gtky: I'm really looking forward to our family beach vacation in a few weeks. Hopefully Zika hasn't hit yet at that time.
How big is baby? Size of a jalapeño
Appointments this week? Had my 12 week this past Wednesday.

Symptom changes? heartburn is now horrible, pelvic girdle pain worsening
Rant/Rave/Questions? Woohoo looking forward to feeling less tired! 2nd Tri!
GTKY: Besides having a healthy baby in the next 6+ months, what are you most looking forward to? DH gets home from overseas next weekend, travel to VA for my sister's HS graduation, then Disney in July. And quitting my job soon after. We have a lot of good things planned!
@phoenix870509 : DH is really interested in doing the Ancestry DNA, I'd be interested to know what you think of it once it comes back.
@JenRN2009 I have a few shirts that look cute with the blump but maternity shorts are still a bit weird. I just bought a pair on sale yesterday but they probably won't feel right for a few more weeks. #thestruggle

Rant/Rave/Questions?
I wish my husband understood exactly what i meant when i say i'm tired. It has a whole new meaning now.
GTKY: Besides having a healthy baby in the next 6+ months, what are you most looking forward to?
I'm really excited to decorate baby's room, and to see if my almost 2 year old will understand that there is a growing baby in mommy's belly
How big is baby? Strawberry
Appointments this week? None. Had an appt. on 5/26 at 9 weeks 6 days. Got to see the little nugget on the ultrasound and hear the heartbeat on the Doppler. Heartbeat was a strong 175.
Symptom changes? Almost all of my morning sickness has disappeared, so I've been feeling pretty good.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Child care...costs and impossibly long waiting lists. I mean, seriously, how is it possible to ensure child care when there are no reputable day cares with a waitlist of less than a year???
