3. How far along are you? 7 weeks + 4 days

4. How are you feeling? Meh. I keep getting down on myself because I feel like crawling into bed and giving up at times because of symptoms I am having

5. Anyone have an appointment this week? Nope. Had to cancel the one I was supposed to have today

6. Rants/Raves/Randoms Oh so many rants..... I can't keep water down at all so I am stuck with juices and Gatorade which isn't much better because of the sugars in them so I get this weird almost headache like feeling and slight dizziness because of it.... I have gone from wanting to eat everything in sight to not wanting to eat anything and having to force myself to eat which means bring on the unhappy belly and nauseous feeling..... brushing teeth almost always guarantees vomiting (add that to the dry heaving in mornings).....

Rave: DH went to the store at 1 am to get some juices and snacks for me because I failed at realizing I was out earlier in the day

7. GTKY: Tell us 1 random / funny fact about yourself. When I yawn, I sound like a puppy yawning.

3. How far along are you? 8w3d

4. How are you feeling? Nauseous 24/7. And tired.

5. Anyone have an appointment this week? Nope... next week!

6. Rants/Raves/Randoms I am so tired of eating bread and drinking tea all of the damn time. Last night, I got a bit of a respite though. I convinced H that we should order falafel for delivery and he said okay! I was craving it and didn't feel as nauseous as usual. It was worth it.

7. GTKY: Tell us 1 random / funny fact about yourself. I get told quite a bit that my writing looks like a font. I actually won an award for it back in grade school.

@SaphireSweetie88 I want to hear your yawn now, haha.

SaphireSweetie88 · December 2016

@spk112

Glad you weren't feeling nauseous with the falafel! That's a win in my book!

I get weird looks from people when they hear me yawn for the 1st time and then they laugh lol.

1. How long were you active on TTGP?
2 cycles

Confession, I have been on the bump since January 2015 and have yet to figure out how to gif... I've tried, I'm technologically challenged

3. How far along are you?
7w1d
4. How are you feeling?
Awful. The head cold and morning sickness combo is kicking my ass. My son doesn't give a rats ass that I'm sick either and opted to not sleep last night.

5. Anyone have an appointment this week?
Thursday I go in to see my dr. Both my husband and I are being sent for blood work and we should be able to discuss further testing and possibly my referral to an MFM

6. Rants/Raves/Randoms
I have a stagette to go to tonight... a pole dancing class then dinner. I'm skipping out on the bar afterwards but I'm kinda dreading all of it. As said above, I'm so sick and no body knows I'm pregnant and dancing on a pole is so not what I want to be doing tonight.

7. GTKY: Tell us 1 random / funny fact about yourself.
i cannot let a sneeze out. It comes and sounds painful like I'm holding it in but even with a Kleenex held to my face I'm incapable of letting it out.

RunRestRepeat · December 2016

I'm a bit late to the game... I was working in the newsroom yesterday so I didn't have ANY privacy to Bump at work! Happy Saturday!

1. How long were you active on TTGP? 3 months

2. GIF that represents your face & your SO's when you got your BFP.

3. How far along are you? 6+2

4. How are you feeling? Really good! Felt super sick in the car on Monday, but have been fine since as long as I have snacks on hand. I'm sure this time is limited, though.

5. Anyone have an appointment this week? Not until Dec. 19. Boo.

6. Rants/Raves/Randoms My husband is out of town until Tuesday (lame) but that means as soon as I get home from taking the dog for a run, I get to spend the rest of the day crafting and crocheting while watching Grey's re-runs!

7. GTKY: Tell us 1 random / funny fact about yourself. Hmmmmm.... not really funny, but random: I love to crochet! I've made baby blankets for nearly a dozen family and friends and cannot wait to make something for this little bean!

realgoodthing · December 2016

@SaphireSweetie88 Yikes! I'm sorry you're feeling so terribly! Have you tried the Unisom/B6 combo?

1. How long were you active on TTGP? 2 cycles, but I lurked for one before that.

2. GIF that represents your face & your SO's when you got your BFP.

3. How far along are you? 8 weeks today!

4. How are you feeling? Okay! Fairly nauseated most of the time with more cravings (yesterday it was sun-dried tomatoes, today it's those black oil-cured olives) and starting to get really sensitive to smells, but on balance, could be much worse! Still on a high from hearing the heartbeat on Tuesday!

5. Anyone have an appointment this week? Nope!

6. Rants/Raves/Randoms: Made it to Pilates this morning, which is honestly the biggest accomplishment of the month. Also, on Tuesday, I'll be further along than I ever got with my first pregnancy, which will be a nice milestone.

7. GTKY: Tell us 1 random / funny fact about yourself. I have two uvulas (the hangy-down thing at the back of your mouth).

SaphireSweetie88 · December 2016

@MrsN092714 - Hope you feel better soon!!

@RunRestRepeat - I have tried to crochet and I fail every time lol

@leilac - Thanks! I have not tried that combo. Does Unisom make you sleepy?

realgoodthing · December 2016

@SaphireSweetie88 I haven't tried it myself, but I think so.

spk112 · December 2016

@SaphireSweetie88 Unisom does make you sleepy. If you take it, I would suggest trying it at night to start. In my experience, it hasn't made me groggy in the morning, but I do wake up feeling less nauseous than I would if I did not take any.

1. How long were you active on TTGP?
Since August
2. GIF that represents your face & your SO's when you got your BFP.
I already deleted the ones I used last week and am too lazy to find a new one..
3. How far along are you?
8+1
4. How are you feeling?
Exhausted. If I'm not full I'm nauseous/ puking so I feel like I am eating all the time! Even in the middle of the night.
5. Anyone have an appointment this week?
On Monday! It's just my nurse apt. Where they get the family histories and tell you what to do/ not do. Won't actually hear a heartbeat yet..
6. Rants/Raves/Randoms
H and I are helping our friends move today. As soon as we set up one of the beds I took a nap in it.. Exhaustion is real.
7. GTKY: Tell us 1 random / funny fact about yourself.
Im left handed

SaphireSweetie88 · December 2016

@leilac @spk112 - I may have to look into that!

@mrs35 - I would have napped in it too lol

1. How long were you active on TTGP? 3 1/2 months

2. GIF that represents your face & your SO's when you got your BFP.

3. How far along are you? 5w6d

4. How are you feeling? Meh. Nausea comes and goes. First tri exhaustion mixed with insomnia is kicking my butt. Super moody and emotional.

5. Anyone have an appointment this week? Nope!

6. Rants/Raves/Randoms I have so much to do. But i have zero motivation to do any of it.

7. GTKY: Tell us 1 random / funny fact about yourself. ummm... I have to come back to this. I literally have nothing right now!

Edit: it's 3 1/2 months, not 3/12

TalesOfASocialIntrovert · December 2016

1. How long were you active on TTGP?
3 months

2. GIF that represents your face & your SO's when you got your BFP.
Posted on this last week so instead how I feel this week about these symptoms!!

3. How far along are you?
8+6

4. How are you feeling?
Crappy. Still. So tired and nauseous and achy and dizzy. Can I just sleep for a whole month and wake up when I feel better?

5. Anyone have an appointment this week?
Nope, saw the OB nurse this past Wednesday.

6. Rants/Raves/Randoms:
We told the bulk of our friends last night and everyone was super excited and surprised. It was a lot of fun telling people that are happy for us! (as opposed to my work, which isn't excited about potential changes).

Also, on a side note -- you ladies read to OU thread? I miss the organization of the TTGP board. I thought it was a little rigid then but I much prefer that over this. Too many threads mean people participate all over the place so lots of threads get just a few responses, meaning less overall interactions.

7. GTKY: Tell us 1 random / funny fact about yourself.
I'm a twin

SaphireSweetie88 · December 2016

@GeorgiaWife6912 - I am with you on the zero motivation lol.

@TalesOfASocialIntrovert - I agree with you. I liked the organization on TTGP a lot! I am hoping things get more organized here as we go along.

Rave: DH went to pick up chinese food. Rant: I have to go back to big lots to return an inflatable we just bought this afternoon bc there's a damn hole!
Also: I say if you want "organized" threads, just post in those. I don't like massive threads about nothing in particular.
7. GTKY: Tell us 1 random / funny fact about yourself.
I drove buses in college.

Sorry, hard to copy on mobile.

pretzel2plus1 · December 2016

1. How long were you active on TTGP?
I was on TTGP from August 2015, but I wasn't very active in the last few months. Mostly on the IF/Testing thread and the T-TTC board.

3. How far along are you?
7w3d

4. How are you feeling?
Okay. I've been nauseous a lot, but I haven't actually thrown up yet. I'm still exhausted, and I keep having these moments where for lack of a better way to describe it, feeling really sick just washes over me. After a few minutes I'm fine, but those are a miserable couple of minutes.

5. Anyone have an appointment this week?
My first ultrasound was Thursday! We got to see our little bean's heart beating away!

6. Rants/Raves/Randoms
We got tons of Christmas shopping out of the way today! I'm hoping to finish up this next week and be able to just relax and enjoy the rest of the season.

7. GTKY: Tell us 1 random / funny fact about yourself.
I had to ask H, lol. He says I should say that I put ketchup on biscuits. I put ketchup on pretty much anything.

thatcma · December 2016

Sorry I am late (again).
1. How long were you active on TTGP? Actively for 2 months, lurking for a while longer
2. GIF that represents your face & your SO's when you got your BFP.

3. How far along are you? 9w3d
4. How are you feeling? Tired today. The last week has been very busy and I am just now starting to catch up on sleep. Nausea is still slowing down though on Friday I did throw up for the first time. Let me tell you what --- apple pie tastes terrible coming back up. I am starting to wake up a lot more in the night to pee, and I have also noticed increased flatulence at night.
5. Anyone have an appointment this week? No. Next one is on 12/28
6. Rants/Raves/Randoms Not right now.
7. GTKY: Tell us 1 random / funny fact about yourself. Random fact: I have a bad habit of biting my cuticles when I am nervous, or upset. Started after I quit smoking. It's getting better, but I still do it.

Et fix date

@talesofasocialintrovert I totally agree. I think if we don't keep structure here it will drive me too crazy to keep posting. I looked at other BMBs and the ones with no organization just makes my head hurt.
