How far along are you? 10 weeks

How big is baby? TB says strawberry, Ovia says Lego mini-figure

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope, nothing until my next prenatal visit on 9/6 and my NT Scan on 9/13

Any new symptoms or changes? I could be jinxing myself, but I think m/s is on the way out. I've felt much better the past two days and today is going okay so far....

Rants/Raves/Questions? My doctor doesn't offer the NIPT, which I'm a little annoyed about since insurance would probably cover it due to my AMA. I thought about doing the Sneak Peek gender test, but I'm concerned that the male DNA all over my house would contaminate it.

GTKY: What nursery plans do you have in the works? Do you have your eye on specific furniture? DS has a lifetime crib and is still using all his other furniture, so we'll be getting another new set. The place I got his furniture from (USA Baby) is out of business now, so I'll have to get it elsewhere. I'm so tempted to get PBK stuff, but it's so stupid expensive.

How big is baby? a kumquat

Upcoming appointments this week? see my dr next Thursday

Any new symptoms or changes? waking up in the night to eat has come back again

Rants/Raves/Questions? I wish no one ever told me about this 'vanishing twin' syndrome thing. now I'm constantly even more paranoid. blah

GTKY: What nursery plans do you have in the works? Do you have your eye on specific furniture? I have no idea about a theme yet, I'd like to do something in twos.. maybe Noahs Arc or something? But I definitely am looking for a recliner. I had a rocker with my DS and I found it so uncomfortable. changing it up this time!

How big is baby? Size of a Lime

Upcoming appointments this week? I wish Not until the 19th seems so far away

Any new symptoms or changes? My breast are so sore like worsening daily, everything else has seemed to calm down.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I know I am not suppose to lay on my belly, but that is the only way I can get comfy! DH is always telling me not to. I have always been a belly sleeper lol.

GTKY: What nursery plans do you have in the works? Do you have your eye on specific furniture? We will be doing a John Deere theme with either a boy or a girl. My DH made DS a John Deere tractor loft bed and they will be sharing a room for about a year.

How big is baby?as big as a poker chip

Upcoming appointments this week? had a one yesterday, got a sneak peek at baby, good heartbeat and moving it's arms

Any new symptoms or changes? boobs don't really hurt anymore and I'm not completely exhausted, still battling the nausea though

Rants/Raves/Questions? I got a sneak peek yesterday because the doctor wasn't having a great day with 10 weekers, I wasn't expecting to see the baby again until our gender scan in October so it was so neat to see what looked more like a real baby than a tiny dot on the screen.

GTKY: What nursery plans do you have in the works? Do you have your eye on specific furniture? We're doing a Harry Potter nursery, boy or girl. I'm trying to find a dark wood crib for sale used, and I want a glider, those are the two big things. I've already ordered two things made for the nursery, a Dobby and Mandrake crochet by a friend, they're super cute. I got a bird cage too a while back now I need to find a white Owl... I also want an owl lamp but don't want to pay a ridiculous amount for it. I need to move my daughters room first though, she's going to take over the playroom because it's bigger and she has a huge dollhouse and the baby will be in her old room.

Upcoming appointments this week? On Monday

Any new symptoms or changes? Not really

Rants/Raves/Questions? None

GTKY: What nursery plans do you have in the works? Do you have your eye on specific furniture? I will use everything I bought for last baby. I have a really nice lucite crib.

How big is baby? Lime on TB, brussel sprout on Ovia

Upcoming appointments this week? Genetic screening US on Sept 6. Can't get here soon enough.

Any new symptoms or changes? MS symptoms are starting to wane, but then I have days where I feel like I got ran over by a truck. I'm still in the phase where it comes and goes and hoping it all finally goes away in a couple of weeks.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: my 2yo has hand, foot, and mouth and I'm afraid I'm still in the incubation period and spots will show up. Some people are lucky and never catch it from their kids, but being pregnant and having a lowered immune system, I'm so afraid I'm going to get it too!

GTKY: What nursery plans do you have in the works? Do you have your eye on specific furniture? We purposely designed the nursery with gender neutral colors and theme, so we're pretty much set. I'm not sure if we should move our son to a big boy bed though, or leave him in his crib that converts to a toddler bed and get a whole new crib set for the new baby. It's probably cheaper if we got a twin bed for son, but we'd still need a dresser and other items. Decisions decisions!

@librarymom917 Your nursery ideas sound awesome! DH doesn't share my love of HP, so he would never go for that

I hope you will post some pictures!

How big is baby? A lime

Upcoming appointments this week? Next one is in a week!

Any news symptoms or changes? More of the same. My boobs still hurt and still dealing with nausea.

Rants/ Raves/ Questions? I am anxiously awaiting my NIPT results. I hope to hear at the beginning of the week. I also bought maternity clothes for the first time yesterday. I went to a consignment sale and got stuff with the tags still on!

GTKY? Some sort of Woodland theme for a boy and if baby is a girl I would love to have a mint and lavender nursery. I don't really like the usual baby bedding so I have been searching Etsy for ideas.

a lemon

Any new symptoms or changes? Nope, still nauseous and tired

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing today, other than my inability to turn the bold font off. Sorry about that!

GTKY: What nursery plans do you have in the works? Do you have your eye on specific furniture?
not yet. We are still trying to figure out where the nursery will be. Your ideas are super cute!

librarymom917 · August 2016

@allysondunn2 DH isn't obsessed like I am but he knows to just roll with me when it comes to HP haha.

How big is baby? kumquat

Upcoming appointments this week? in two weeks

Any new symptoms or changes? i woke up tuesday morning with a bump rash on chin/neck area and noticed some more bumps on my cheekbone and down to my neck. It has proceeded to spread on my arms, more on my face and neck and last night i noticed a huge solid red rash from my hip bone to butt crack on my right side and small patches on the left side. i called my ob yesterday and again this morning. dr. said it was too early for pregnancy rash and to get it checked out by my family dr. I have no idea what this rash is but it itches so bad! i have an appt with my family dr. in the morning.

Rants/Raves/Questions? why is it so hard to find maternity chino pants? i don't need trousers, i work in food safety and have to travel to food manufacturing facilities to meet suppliers, customers, etc. casual chinos/khakis are most suitable for that environment. it's very annoying when you can't find clothes!

GTKY: What nursery plans do you have in the works? Do you have your eye on specific furniture? No specific ideas in mind yet, waiting until we find out the gender.

chrlyr · August 2016

@sgrant432 Check out Old Navy's maternity line online. I bought some stuff there today and they had some cute chinos.

How big is baby? A plum!

Upcoming appointments this week? This morning we had our genetics consultation. We opted out of the invasive testing, and chose the NIPT screening instead. Had my blood drawn and will found out the results in a week. We could also find out the sex of the baby, but I let them know we didn't want to find that out

#TeamGreen Next week we have our US with my OB/GYN

Any new symptoms or changes? I've been feeling so much better in the last 10 days. More energy, no MS. But today I've had a bit of a stomach ache/cramping all day and feel a bit run down. Also have 2 pimples that appeared out of nowhere..... not sure if that's pregnancy OR the fact that I purchased and started using new makeup last week. Hmmm....

Rants/Raves/Questions? None that I can think of right now

GTKY: What nursery plans do you have in the works? Do you have your eye on specific furniture? I've been more focused on gender neutral nursery themes.... For some reason I'm feeling drawn to include a large stuffed giraffe in the baby's room. So maybe a safari theme???

Cbeanz · August 2016

How far along are you? 13 weeks! Sh!t's getting real!

How big is baby? From the looks of things, I'd guess the size of a large hedgehog. 5lb. give or take.

Upcoming appointments this week? Nothing until after Labor Day

Any new symptoms or changes? Looking forward to getting some energy back - but it hasn't happened yet! I'm still nearly blacking out every time I stand up from sitting for a long time.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Major aversion to the smell of beer. This is ironic considering how much I generally like beer. But smelling it on people's breath has been making me gag - and this time of year we're having all kinds of picnics and stuff at work, so I can't get away from it.

GTKY: What nursery plans do you have in the works? Do you have your eye on specific furniture? Eventually planning to move our 2 year old out of the nursery and into big sis's room - but we still have like a year before we need the nursery for this baby. I'll have him/her in my bedroom until ~August 2017.
