GTKY: What adult beverage are you missing the most??
Re: Monday Ticker Change 10/3
How far along are you? 6 Weeks today!
How big is baby? A sweat pea, or apparently the size of a rainbow sprinkle. Which seem very different to me....
Upcoming appointments this week? Two more weeks on 10/17
Any new symptoms or changes? I've had a couple small bouts of nausea, which I hope don't intensify. Had some brown discharge this morning which freaked me out a bit. Mostly just more of the same: exhaustion, sore boobs, some minor cramping from time to time.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Just over this cold. But DH was really good about checking on me and making sure I had enough water, kleenex, and food.
GTKY: What adult beverage are you missing the most?? Oh all of them. But wine in particular. Pretty sure once second/third tri roll around, I'll be having a glass from time to time.
How far along are you?
6 weeks today (ish)!
How big is baby?
A sweat pea (according to @ShadeofGreen816 who I copied that from).
Upcoming appointments this week?
Nope, not until 10/17 and the anticipation is killing me (@ShadeofGreen816 I didn't copy you there, looks like we have our first appointment the same day).
Any new symptoms or changes?
Since about week 4 I've had some nausea that seems to come and go I've been very, very hungry and sometimes get nauseous if I don't eat every hour or so. I've also had random cramping since about week 4. More recently, I have also been incredibly thirsty the last few days - I can't drink enough water and the other day I actually woke up with pruned fingers after drinking what I thought was a very reasonable amount of water the day before so I guess my body really does need more right now.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I am so bloated I am worried about hiding this much longer. I know its not baby yet, but I seriously have a little belly going on right now that I can't suck in. I read that in 2nd pregnancies (and beyond) your stomach muscles are all stretched out so you can't hold the bloat in as well which makes it more pronounced, but this is just crazy. My friend (who is a mom) told me this weekend that I'm already showing and I was like..."thanks, it's gas."
GTKY: What adult beverage are you missing the most??
Coffee. My work is definitely suffering as a result of cutting out caffeine.
How far along are you? 7 weeks
How big is baby? A blueberry
Upcoming appointments this week? Friday is my ultrasound, thank god!!
Any new symptoms or changes? Sore boobs, exhaustion, some sickness this morning, but nothing significant which makes my anxious self worry.
Rants/Raves/Questions? At a training today for mindfulness/yoga and we did a 25 minute body scan/relaxation, and I fell asleep! Which was actually rejuvinating lol
GTKY: What adult beverage are you missing the most?? The excess coffee. I only have one cup a day, which makes me sad since it's pumpkin spice season. I also have two weddings in the next few weeks and I love champagne, which I will miss drinking all night long.
How big is baby? Babies are the size of cherries
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope, nothing till the 24th when I get the NT scan, Harmony test and checkup
Any new symptoms or changes? Zofran has helped with the vomiting but still feel pretty awful
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm just over the first trimester and feeling crappy all the time. Can't wait for the 2nd tri when I'll have energy and won't feel like garbage every day
GTKY: What adult beverage are you missing the most?? Regular coffee in the afternoon.
7 weeks!
How big is baby?
A blueberry.
Upcoming appointments this week?
Next one not until the end of the month, which makes me so anxious.
Any new symptoms or changes?
Morning sickness reared its ugly head yesterday, its mostly in the middle of the night/when I first wake up and no vomitting yet so I'm hoping to keep that at bay for as long as possible.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
This is baby #3 and I think my stomach has definitely expanded (but I'm sure it's mostly bloat). I still haven't told anyone yet and was waiting for the first ultrasound at the end of the month to do so, so I'm hoping I can hide this blump for a few more weeks!
GTKY: What adult beverage are you missing the most??
Margaritas. Or wine. I have a spouses function on Friday and I'm going to have to figure out a way to discreetly not drink...

8 Weeks!
How big is baby?
Raspberry!!!
Upcoming appointments this week?
None this week, ultrasound next week.
Any new symptoms or changes?
Extreme exhaustion, nausea (getting better though), and my stomach stays constantly upset. Also, I've cried about everything all weekend.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm just ready for the second trimester when I'll hopefully feel better. I feel useless lately bc of the exhaustion.
GTKY: What adult beverage are you missing the most??
Coffee! we have an espresso machine and I just bought some delicious coffee beans from fresh market for my husband and they smell incredible!
@RainyDays86 - I FEEL YOU! This is my 4th pregnancy (even though I only have one daughter so far), and it is twins this time, so i'm literally wearing maternity pants already. I'm not sure that it is just bloat at this point because I've lost weight from lack of appetite and nausea and have not been eating much.
Baby is the size of a 1/2 lego brick.
No new symptoms. I still feel like I'm stuck on a spinny amusement park ride with no end in sight.
Rants/Raves: Because I'm too lazy to get the storage container of maternity clothes down from the top of my closet, I'm fighting making the transition. Thankfully, I wear mostly stretchy jeans and jeggings so a hair tie accommodates my afternoon bloat so far.
I miss bloody marys and micheladas. Tomato juice and V8 have helped, but everytime we go out to eat, I crave a nice tomato-y drink.

Baby is the size of a strawberry
No new additional symptoms, but the nausea seems to be tapering off *knock on wood* I also think I'm starting to see a little bit of a curve to my belly, but it could definitely still be bloat because, well, I wasn't that flat to begin with lol.
I am so irritated that my pants all HURT to wear already. I feel like I'm way too early still to need new clothes, but this is so uncomfortable!
I miss wine soooo bad. Specifically wanting a nice cold (big) glass of Pinot Grigio. Work has been super stressful the last few weeks, and all my team members keep talking about all the wine they drink after work! I want some toooo!!!!
How big is baby? 1/2 a lego!!!
Upcoming appointments this week? I have another US on Thursday!!
Any new symptoms or changes? Still MS, although it's not as consistent as before I felt great on Friday, AWFUL on Sat, and pretty good yesterday... Today was a horrible morning, but I've been fine since...
Rants/Raves/Questions? I went to a wedding this weekend and everyone was trying to get me to drink!! I was literally dragged up to the bar to order a drink. I'm not a huge drinker, but I do enjoy my wine. The problem was that everyone was on a shuttle so there wasn't the usual excuse available of I have to drive.
GTKY: What adult beverage are you missing the most?? I'm just bored of water right now... I do miss a nice glass of wine with dinner though.
How big is baby? Strawberry!
Upcoming appointments this week? No apps yet (waiting for insurance...finally! Better late than never)
Any new symptoms or changes? Haven't noticed any changes
Rants/Raves/Questions?
GTKY: What adult beverage are you missing the most?? Anything! Hubby usually has some whiskey in the house and a "jack and coke" doesn't sound half bad
How big is baby? A raspberry.
Upcoming appointments this week? I had one today and my next will be on Halloween.
Any new symptoms or changes? No new symptoms, just more nausea. I had no nausea when I was pregnant with DS and I really don't feel like I appreciated it as much as I should have.
Rants/Raves/Questions? It's just so funny how different pregnancies are. I have never been a very hormonal person (never really get PMS and wasn't during my first pregnancy) but this time I'm a hot mess! I feel like crying about everything eventhough I know there's no reason to be crying.
GTKY: What adult beverage are you missing the most?? Coffee and wine. Coffee in the mornings used to make me so happy but now it just makes me nauseous. And wine is pretty self explanatory.
Sweet Baby H 12.21.11
Sassy Baby P 03.26.14
Little Brother Due 05.22.17
How big is baby? A raspberry I think.
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope, not until 10/20
Any new symptoms or changes? Just worsening of nausea and fatigue.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I've had an annoying cough for about a month now. It's worse at night, but it happens during the day too. I'm not sure if this is allergies, a minor cold, or what. Anyone else? I have a PCP appointment on Friday so I plan on asking her about it.
GTKY: What adult beverage are you missing the most?? None. I'm having major aversions and I feel nauseous more often than not so I have zero interest in adult beverages including coffee.
How big is baby? pea I think
Upcoming appointments this week? Tomorrow I have my second ultrasound. I am continuing this stupid brown bleeding and I am praying that this u/s shows a heartbeat.
Any new symptoms or changes? nothing big, no
Rants/Raves/Questions? I think I already ranted about my bleeding. I am so tired of it, it is emotionally exhausting to be unable to think of anything else besides what color I will see next time I get a chance to check. It is driving me to distraction.
GTKY: What adult beverage are you missing the most?? I think red wine. I had the nicest glass of Cabernet at a work dinner the night before my BFP and I keep thinking about it.
Btw I also have my "first" ultrasound on 10/17. Or at least that's what it was supposed to be when it was scheduled a couple weeks ago. So I'm triplets with you all.
How big is baby? A blueberry
Upcoming appointments this week? First ultrasound is Wednesday
Any new symptoms or changes? Peeing a lot and constipated (ew)
Rants/Raves/Questions? So frustrated with myself right now because I've gained 5 lbs and I was told that should be what you gain like total for first tri. I know I've eaten more because eating is the only thing that quells my horrid nausea and all I've craved is carbs. Now I need to get myself back on track.... Making a meal of veggies tonight even though they currently make me want to gag.
GTKY: What adult beverage are you missing the most?? Tea... I know there are teas we CAN drink but I decided I didn't want to chance it this time around since this is my third pregnancy and the other two ended in losses. I used to drink tea daily though.
BFP Sept 2016
Fingers crossed for a sticky rainbow baby!
I am 10 weeks.
Baby is the size of a Cardinal tetra fish.
I have an appointment on Thursday to get my blood drawn for the DNA test.
My symptoms are lessening which makes me slightly nervous but I feel a lot better. Since I am at 10 weeks, I'm trying not to worry about it too much.
My rant is that my family found me out this weekend! We weren't going to tell them until the 16th but the bloat must be bad because towards the end of the party one of my brothers point-blank asked me and I said yes but to not say anything and I know he didn't, and then about 5 minutes later I was talking to 2 of my SIL and they asked me too. Oh well. We were just not planning on not saying anything that day as to not steal the limelight so it's ok if they know. It's just weird that somehow they all just knew.

I like the lego sizing! Where'd you gals find that? TB says raspberry this week.
No appointments yet, but we just figured out the new insurance stuff. The choice now is between the closer, smaller hospital that has some really amazing options/amenities for the birth, but no nicu... vs the hospitals that are twice as far and twice as big... with two kiddos at home and no known risks, we are leaning towards the close hospital.
Symptoms. Yuck. Can't keep much down. Constant nausea even when I'm not vomiting. Exhaustion/fatigue galore. First trimester was the worst part in my first two pregnancies. This time around it seems no different.
Rant... I am just super grumpy lately, I can't pick just one thing to rant about. Haha
