Sorry guys, I think there was some confsion about who was going to be posting this week. I take over, I'm only at week 7.5 so I'll be here for a while (all the prayers and knocking on all the wood).
This is a weekly check-in for those in their 1st trimester: weeks 1 through the end of week 13. I know we've all gone through a lot to get to this point so congratulations and best of luck to all of you over the next several months!
Please post a little about yourself, your EDD (if it’s not listed below- if I left you off please let me know ) any upcoming appointments, symptoms, etc. Feel free to also share your IF journey, I know many of us can relate.
QOTW:
It's still early, but have you purchased anything for baby yet? If so what?

QOTW:

Yes I started purchasing items online and am continually adding things to my wish list. So far I've bought gender neutral bibs, onesies, swaddle blankets, receiving blankets, healthcare/grooming kit, travel pillows, washcloths, and a bottle drying rack.

Spencer Elliott born 12/7/2016
had my US yesterday. 9 weeks, 2 days here and got discharged to my obgyn. We saw his/her little leg move. It was so cute. Won't be seeing or hearing anything for two weeks now.
QOTW: I bought some pacifiers! Hahaha!! It was the only gender neutral thing I could find. Oh and I've started buying diapers. We have been given a couple of baby blankets already. I'm just ready to find out the sex of the baby so we can start shopping for real and decorate the nursery
Sawyer Ryanne due Jan 1, 2017
QOTW: I haven't bought anything yet! I still feel as if this isn't real and am a bit hesitant to get too excited. Did anyone else feel this way?
@joyzie77 Answering your question from last week: I will be with my RE until I am 12 weeks along as well!
QOTW: Over a year ago I bought some dragon iron-ons because they were clearance and TOO cute. I bought myself the sticky bellies for your monthly photos, and an iron-on that says "I love Pickles." Yesterday I started creating a registry.
So far no new symptoms this week, although I am super hungry a lot, and I get occasional nausea still. I'm looking forward to this supposed clearing up of acne...

I have had a rough few days. Some spotting and I ended up in the ER for the worlds longest ultrasound where I was not able to see except for the last minute. They did see the gestational sac and yolk sac at 5w3d but after the worlds longest ultrasound, I have had more major spotting than what convinced me to go to the ER AND I was SO SORE. It is not advisable to get an ultrasound from an ultrasound tech that doesn't do them everyday. My doc thinks everything is fine as it has mostly been dark brown but I am still waiting for my ultrasound with her next week to see the heartbeat. My betas have continued to double (although I haven't heard back from the one today yet).
With all that being said... QOTW: I haven't purchased anything and I am still holding my breath. Although I did recently lay out all of the baby clothes that I have purchased over the years... it is adding up to a wardrobe!

Qotw: I will not be buying anything just yet, but I'm doing research online and walked to the baby aisle of a couple of stores. I'm also glancing at maternity clothes, but will probably not buy anything for another few weeks. Though I'm pretty bloated so I may need sometime comfortable pants to wear for the next few weeks at work.
My biggest symptom I've had for over a week is that I'm burping a lot after I eat (just minor indigestion. ) The last couple evenings I felt kind of yucky and a little nauseous. I purposely ate lighter tonight and so far I feel a little better. I also nauseous on and off during the day, but okay most time. According to the bump app, I'm at about 5 1/2 weeks.
