Upcoming appointments this week? Nothing... still waiting for first OB appt on 11/3
Any new symptoms or changes? Nausea is killing me, but not as bad as my twins... hopefully that means it is a singleton.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant... I'm so tired of eating bread and sipping on lemonade but that is all my stomach is tolerating right now.
GTKY: What's your favorite Halloween candy/treat? Reese's are always great but my favorite are those old school white peanut buttery crunch bites with a clear wrapper with thin dark brown stripes... the best!
Upcoming appointments this week? Not this week, first ultrasound is next Tuesday
Any new symptoms or changes? I have this weird stitch-like pain in my side off and on. Trying to ignore it and not get paranoid! I'm with you @jgil85 , sometimes my symptoms are in full force and others it's like I'm not even pregnant. But I know 5 weeks is early so I'm not too worried.
@soontobemrsdavis happy early birthday!! What a great birthday gift!
@kassyfry I had tons of burping the last week too! So weird.
How far along are you? 5 weeks
How big is baby? On the Ovia app you can choose creatures for sizing... today it updated to dot snail! Cracks me up.
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope, first ultrasound with my RE November 1st
Any new symptoms or changes? No real symptoms yet.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Speaking of ticker change, how do I actually get it in my signature? I found the link on the info thread to make the ticker but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to transfer it to my signature.
Also, how are people handling morning sickness at work? My office has glass walls and I would have to march by a lot of people to either hurry to the bathroom or carry out a trash bag if it came to that...
GTKY: What's your favorite Halloween candy/treat? Candy corn! I can't get enough of that stuff.
Upcoming appointments this week? Another blood test tomorrow
Any new symptoms or changes? My boobs are WAY more sore this week. Nausea is holding steady; no puking yet *knock on wood*
Rants/Raves/Questions? My boss' boss texted me after 10 last night for an urgent work thing. I said I was about to go to sleep so I couldn't do it and knew someone else was on it anyway. Is it wrong that I want to tell him I'm pregnant so they will be less inclined to do that? I already told my boss so I could call in if I needed to for the morning sickness.....but I'm trying to hold off on telling other until 10 weeks.
GTKY: What's your favorite Halloween candy/treat? Reese's Cups!!!
For the ticker, copy the HTML. Click the </> and insert the code there. As far as morning sickness at work, I told my boss and the two people on my team so they know what's going on with me. I keep saltines at my desk and have all kinds of healthy snacks. As long as I don't get hungry, I can keep the nausea at bay. I also have saltines in my car and munching on them on the commute is helping too.
How big is baby? The size of a bb pellet according to the Ovia app.
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope
Any new symptoms or changes? I think my boobs are starting to get bigger. That was an intense symptom last time around and it feels like it's beginning again.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm PGAL, which is a first for me, and it's as mentally taxing as I expected it would be. I can't shake the feeling that it's just a matter of time until I get bad news. It's so annoying. Whenever I bring up the baby to my husband I always start with something like, "If this baby comes...". That's my rant. This will be my last pregnancy and I want to enjoy it but I am mostly just wishing for the first tri to be over.
GTKY: What's your favorite Halloween candy/treat? I don't have any Halloween-specific fave treats - they are the same all year round! I love Hershey Kisses and Twix.
Me: 36; DH: 38 DD: 7; DS1: 4; DS2 due 6-21-17! **TW** MMC & D&C Aug 2016
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope. I have my first U/S next week and if all looks good I will be released to my OB.
Any new symptoms or changes? Oh hello morning sickness. There you are my old asshat of a friend. Queue cracker and saltine stash in my car and at my desk. Oh the cramping! Ughhh...
Rants/Raves/Questions? Not really. Just really want this damn fatigue to pass. This is like pregnancy #1 (extreme fatigue with DS) meets pregnancy #2 (terrible morning sickness with DD) and I'm NOT feelin it.
GTKY: What's your favorite Halloween candy/treat? Well right now the thought of an of it makes me want to hurl, but ordinarily I am all about the Milk Way bars. Also... Bit O Honey bars. I used to get them all the time on Halloween in my neighborhood, but now i just never seem them!
@ClaireCF as another poster said, keep saltines and/or crackers at your desk. I pop those throughout the day whenever that special feeling comes flooding over me. Lemonade has always helped my nausea so I keep some in the fridge at work.
@soontobemrsdavis OK so peanut butter cups used to be my favorite. Couldn't get enough... but then I saw those videos. Fake or not... I just can't anymore. It hurts my heart and I miss them so.

My pharmacist told me about lemonade last pregnancy... how it was the only way she could stay somewhat hydrated due to severe m/s... I've never turned back, I literally sip on it all day! Not good for your teeth... but at least I can make it through the work day without getting sick!!
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope, waiting until 11/3
Any new symptoms or changes? They're pretty much the same, they just calmed down for now. Nausea, cramping, thirst.... although I am beginning to suspect fatigue is starting to set in a bit.
Rants/Raves/Questions? My boss was bringing up some respirator health safety things at work a couple of weeks ago, before I was ever pregnant. She picked up on the idea that DH and I were planning on trying soon, and ever since then she won't stop bringing it up. I have decided I'm definitely not telling her until I hear a heartbeat at my first appointment, that way I'm not "setting off her alarms" for no reason. She's a very nice lady, but I think she's paranoid because she's been through so many tech's already she's nervous about losing another one after getting them (me) trained up.
GTKY: What's your favorite Halloween candy/treat? I really love me some Almond Joys. But if somebody wants to give me a whole pumpkin pie, I won't say no.
@swanbrooner what are these caramel apple suckers of which you speak? Sounds delightful. You would get along with my DS on the Kit Kat front. His absolute favorite I asked him what he wanted for Christmas this year. His answer.... "Kit Kats!!". Really my man... nothing else? "No. Just Kit Kats".
Are these them? If so, we hand those out every year... DH LOVES them.
Holy snikes, how did I miss the mention of these?! They're amazing....my mom in particular is obsessed with them. I got the snag one from her stash last week.
How far along are you? 7 Weeks - Have pretty good feeling this will change once my ultrasound happens.
How big is baby? Blueberry
Upcoming appointments this week? None and I'm okay with that.
Any new symptoms or changes? Waves of symptoms come and go. This is the longest I have been pregnant since November, and I'm wondering if I'm not giving in to symptoms so much because I already have a 5 year old to keep up with?
Rants/Raves/Questions? Just keep growing little babe!
GTKY: What's your favorite Halloween candy/treat? Chocolate y'all.
