How far along are you? 8 weeks

How big is baby? Raspberry

Appointments this week? Yes - TOMORROW!! (finally!!)

Symptoms? Bloated, nauseous (esp at night), short of breath, need to pee all the time, shaky if I don't eat every 2 hours or so.

Rant/Rave/Questions? Rant: Traffic is THE WORST where I live in LA right now because of the flooding that's happened. Most of the water has gone down, but a few major roads are either still flooded or damaged which is forcing everyone onto the same highway. I had to cancel a group therapy session yesterday evening because there was no way I was going to make it in time.... grrrrrr.
Rave: I'm telling my parents I'm KU this weekend (pending a positive U/S and pregnancy confirmation tomorrow)! Excited but nervous. I know they'll be thrilled!

GTKY: If you were an animal, what would you be? I don't have a very interesting answer to this one - probably a dog, because I love to sleep, I'm easily excitable and a little weird, but I'm loyal as hell.

Edited because it's 5:20 AM and words are hard.

How big is baby? Raspberry

Appointments this week? Monday! Can't wait!

Symptoms? Nausea off and on all day, usually a tad better with eating but nothing sounds very good most of the time. Very tired by the end of the day. Boobs still sore first thing in the morning. Also have been getting headaches every afternoon which I am sure is because of not getting enough fluids in. I'm trying so hard but most liquids at this point are GROSS.

Rant/Rave/Questions? I am struggling in the figuring out/cooking dinner department. Hubby doesn't get home til two hours after me so cooking most days is up to me and I some days just want to cry at the thought. By the time I get home, I am exhausted and nothing sounds appetizing so the last thing I want to do is cook. Then I feel guilty because I know my toddler and hubby need to eat and I feel bad doing cereal or grilled cheese too many nights in a row. I am so ready for second tri when hopefully i'll have energy again and no food aversions.

@mylittleirvz Man, I feel you in the cooking department. Pre-pregnancy I made a meal plan every Sunday and we pretty much stuck to it - it saves us money as well as a ton of trips to the grocery store. I'm finding it really hard to do that right now with food aversions, so I just try to make as much as I can of "whatever sounds good" so we can have some for lunch or later in the week. I can't even imagine dealing with this with a toddler that also needs to eat!!

How big is baby? little? (lol!!! I think bigger than a poppy seed?)

Appointments this week? Not yet

Symptoms? nausea, cramps, tired but then I cant sleep, eating everything in sight and the worst bloat in the history of the world! started progesterone yesterday so all this is only going to get worse...

Rant/Rave/Questions? Just furious at the Fertility dr's office. I called last week and asked if I need progesterone..they kept saying someone will call me back...I keep calling and they uhm and ah...FF to yesterday when I get a message from the dr saying I need to go on progesterone ASAP...well DUh!!! That is why I called to ask!!

How big is baby?

Raspberry

Appointments this week?

Not yet, but one more week!!

Symptoms?

Still sore boobs/nips, nausea is less (but I think I'm used to the Diclegis), random cravings, tiredness

Rant/Rave/Questions?

I think I'm going to have to breakdown and go into maternity pants full-time. I can't fight this bloat anymore.

GTKY: If you were an animal, what would you be?
I would want to be my dog. He's got it made in the shade, he's always happy, and he's adorable!!

How big is baby?
Sweat pea

Appointments this week?
No

Symptoms?
Generally feeling run down and not great.... No nausea or sore boobs like last time...

Rant/Rave/Questions?
I know I should be thankful for not having the unpleasant symptoms and that they could come on any day, but it does worry me a little. I know every pregnancy is different and honestly I am enjoying being able to eat what I want (last pregnancy anything remotely healthy made me gag) but again, can't help worrying a bit

GTKY: what animal would I be?
in this moment... My dog. All I want to do is sleep hahaha

smallanimal · August 2016

How big is baby? Think it's a pea size for now...

Appointments this week? Nothing - I have my viability scan next Tuesday though!

Symptoms? Today I finally finally finally got sore boobs! Yay for sore boobs! (yes I am fine, not crazy.. but I was sooo worried about everyone getting this and not me.. and now me too! Sore boobs for the win!!!), some bloating, discomfort, errr I also have ... some gas... but I love the symptoms. symptoms=hormones=things going well!!

Rant/Rave/Questions? Similar to Magheeta! I am SO bloated I look 5 months pregnant, seriously.

GTKY: If you were an animal, what would you be? Right now probably a sloth. Normally I love cats... and eagles
