How far along are you?
8 weeks!

How big is baby?
Raspberry/Small wild strawberry... the Ovia app finally had the size of the teeny little hands today and that made me smile.

Upcoming appointments this week?

I have one on Monday! I am so excited and a little nervous. I got to see the heartbeat at 6+2 so I'm hoping DH and I get to hear it this time!

Any new symptoms or changes or cravings?
All of my symptoms come and go daily with their intensity. I have been having a bit of a hard time with food in general.

It's not the nausea, it's just nothing really sounds all that good. I'm usually a real foodie so that's new for me. Also I'm usually not a sweets person but have been craving some.

Rants/Raves/Questions?

GTKY: What's your favorite book?
I have to say Harry Potter are my all time favs. I also love the author Liane Moriarty and pretty much all her books. Excited one of them (Big Little Lies) is being turned into an HBO mini series!

ChelleCPA · January 2017

@ellemnop90 I've been having the same problem with food. My nausea isn't terrible by any means. I just have no appetite and nothing sounds edible in the least.

How far along are you? 8 weeks!

How big is baby? Wild strawberry

Upcoming appointments this week? No appointments this week. My next isn't until Feb 17. I had a follow-up appt this past Wednesday with a scan that's showed baby had grown and had a strong heartbeat of 152. I was so relieved. Doc doesn't think it's necessary for me to come back until 12 weeks so it's going to be a long 4 weeks. I'm already anxious again.

Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? I feel like I've been pretty fortunate so far. The extreme tiredness is the biggest symptom I have.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm just so excited and terrified. I walked around the Babies R Us last night because I had a little time to kill before dinner. I had no idea there was so much stuff. It was a little overwhelming.

GTKY: What's your favorite book? It's so hard to pick a favorite, but I'm really liking the Outlander series. I also really like HP and the Hunger Games books. I'm currently reading a Man Called Ove.

This didn't fully post last time! Sorry I'm new to this

Any new symptoms or changes or cravings?
SO. MUCH. NAUSEA.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Ginger Root - Morning Sickness Game Changer

GTKY: What's your favorite book?
too many to list!

GhanimaAtreides · January 2017

How far along are you? 7 weeks

How big is baby? Blueberry

Upcoming appointments this week? Wednesday ultrasound to hopefully confirm that this is NOT a cornual ectopic. Also, PGA3xL

Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? This waking up at 5am for a pee and not being able to actually sleep until my 7:15 alarm is killing me.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I finally was able to give up my every-other-day POAS routine because at this point it would no longer be my first sign of a loss and would take forever to zero out should one occur, but I can't give up temping, even on supplemental progesterone.

GTKY: What's your favorite book? Dune.

LaceyC1020 · January 2017

How far along are you? 7 weeks!!

How big is baby? A cute little blueberry!

Upcoming appointments this week? Monday for another ultrasound! Then not again until 2/15!! I need to find a way to pass the time!!

Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? No new symptoms really. Nausea has been a beast. And I seriously thought I was going to take my coworkers chicken wings yesterday.....they looked so good! My nausea really isn't tied to food, thankfully. I can pretty much eat whatever and I'm still going to have the nausea later in the day.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm completely over this nasty cold I have! I'm so congested and saline nasal spray doesn't do diddly squat!!

GTKY: What's your favorite book? Besides my Bible?

Very hard question! I'm re-reading the Hunger Games and Harry Potter right now. I also loved the Divergent Series!

ellemnop90 · January 2017

@ChelleCPA After my appointment on Monday (assuming all goes well), my next appointment will also be 4 weeks later... which is already giving me anxiety!

Upcoming appointments this week?
Yes! Finally! Will have my first appointment on Tuesday at 7+3. It has been a loooooong wait for this day to come!

Any new symptoms or changes or cravings?
Headaches every morning and a lack of appetite. I can't even finish a brownie.

ETA: The crying. Oh god, the crying. We watched Free Willy on TV last night and I cried for the last 45 minutes.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rant: I got a cold this week and it is destroying me.

GTKY: What's your favorite book?
The Little Prince.

MplsKate · January 2017

@LaceyC1020 Ugh! I also have a cold this week! So unfun. I have been sucking down tea with honey to try to get any relief. Hope you feel better soon.

LaceyC1020 · January 2017

@MplsKate Hope you feel better too!! And by the way, I cried at Free Willy too.....and at Dumbo today!!

MzOro82214 · January 2017

How far along are you? 8 weeks

How big is baby? A raspberry (or a 2x2 lego brick, according to Ovia)

Upcoming appointments this week? Monday morning! I had very light spotting on 7+3 so I went into the ER and we saw our little bean on the ultrasound & he/she had a HB of 150. Can't wait to see him/her again!

Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? No, had only 2 days this past week where I was pretty queasy, but most days it's good.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Any one else feel like they're completely out of breath & their heart is beating much faster after climbing stairs or walking for an extended distance? This is starting to worry me a little.

GTKY: What's your favorite book? I'd LOVE to have time to read but I'm usually just really busy.

MplsKate · January 2017

@MzOro82214 I had a racing heart even at rest and called the nurse line. They said normal unless accompanied by dizziness/fainting but strongly recommended I let my midwife know at my appointment. I would just mention it to your doctor at your next opportunity.

I cleaned the kitchen a bit before I jumped on the computer and when I sat down I noticed I was feeling a little dizzy. I'm sure glad my appt is Monday so I can talk about it. Thank you!!

Finally! My first appt is Monday.

Any new symptoms or changes or cravings?

Crazy dreams! I dreamt that my MIL was turning into a baby and jumped into my lap. Gave DH and I a good laugh! Also, lots of crying! I went to Social Security to get my card (just married in October and changed my name). I went to SS in December and the card never came. Was told it was my fault for not checking the mail. When I went to a different SS office yesterday, she told me there was nothing she can do since I went to another office previously. And...... I lost it. Balled like a baby! lol. She felt bad and issued me a new card then and there. I kept apologizing for crying so much. I guess the crying is good for something!

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Just excited and nervous. Telling my parents next weekend! We are going to Disney in April and I got them Disney Grandma and Grandpa shirts. Can't wait to give them the good news!

GTKY: What's your favorite book?
The Five People You Meet in Heaven.

starla · January 2017

@MplsKate I love that book, too! I hope you feel better soon. I'm fighting off a cold.

holly52 · January 2017

How far along are you? 8 weeks

How big is baby? Raspberry

Upcoming appointments this week? Tuesday I have my first ultrasound and appointment with the doctor

Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? Nothing new

Rants/Raves/Questions?

GTKY: What's your favorite book? Right now is Harry Potter. I'm a little late to the Harry potter craze.

ellemnop90 · January 2017

Better late than never @holly52 .... HP is the best

jsykes23 · January 2017

8 weeks. Raspberry. Appointment on Monday (my bday!)-first time meeting the OB and 1st ultrasound!
Nausea, food aversions, tired! I've also had some fast heart beats and trouble catching my breathe.
rant: I wish our bed was king size and I could be part time at work during my pregnancy! I need my space and naps!
Fav book: hmm I love to read, and have reread several, but idk!

kaliraro · January 2017

I am 7 weeks! Blueberry time. Mmm, now blueberry muffins sound good...

Next appt: We have our first ultrasound this coming Friday!

Symptoms: Crying and weird dreams. Slight shortness of breath when climbing stairs and spaciness. I had morning sickness three days this week and had to work from home because it didn't abate until the evening. I've been blaming it on a flare-up of IBS so my colleagues don't ask too many questions. The fatigue has been overwhelming for a couple of weeks and I've been taking naps in the afternoon. I feel practically narcoleptic.

Cravings: Last week was Caesar salad, then I had an aversion to it this week. This week was whatever I could keep down... Lots of ginger ale (real stuff) and bread/rice/cheese.

Favorite book: Last favorite fiction read was Me Before You. Excellent for crying. I've been into comedian autobios and baby reading of late. I discovered a blog, Alpha Mom, that I love!

SuperKristy85 · January 2017

How far along are you? 8 w (on sat) There are so many of us at the same 8 weeks!!!

How big is baby? A 2 x 2 lego brick! Or a raspberry

Upcoming appointments this week? One this afternoon

Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? No changes. The only symptom is sore boobs.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I’m so sick right now and I hate it. I just want to breathe

GTKY: What's your favorite book? Its been Chuck Palahniuk Invisible Monsters for a long time but I think its tied with the divergent series now. Im currently reading Girl On The Train and its really good too!

eeyorefan215 · January 2017

How far along are you?

8 weeks

How big is baby?

1/2 Lego brick

Upcoming appointments this week?
None this week, but I did have one last week where we saw our little "gummy bear" and it's heart beat was 178. We were told by my OB/GYN that she thinks we really NEED to do the genetic testing this time since we found out that I have a genetic disorder that we just discovered. I really don't want to do the testing because I will love this baby no matter what, but she really wants to know the results and make sure we are ready for any impending loss that may be in the future. I have until 2/16 to decide if we want to do the tests

Any new symptoms or changes or cravings?
My boobs are finally sore and I'm not sleeping well at night.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
DH got mad this weekend because I really wanted a burger for dinner and he didn't want anything to do with that because there is nowhere in our town to get a good burger so he felt he had to "settle" for dinner. He couldn't "tell the difference between his burger and fries except for the texture" it was so bad. Whatever - My burger was so delish and I couldn't even enjoy it because he was so upset.

GTKY: What's your favorite book?
The Great Gatsby

How big is baby? 2x2 Lego brick (I'm so happy so many people are also measuring with the fun & games category! I did fruit last time and wanted to try something different!)

Upcoming appointments this week? Not technically this week. But a week from today is our first ultrasound and appt. My OB's office is so busy they couldn't get me in until I was 9 weeks! The wait is so long!

Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? Hunger nausea. When I'm hungry I feel like throwing up. But I've basically lost my appetite ... so oatmeal and plain pasta it is. Also super sensitive to smells ... and DH keeps cooking bacon and the smell lingers for hours.

Rants/Raves/Questions? DD and I both have colds. She was up all night because she was so congested ... which meant so was I! I would have tapped in DH - but he is out of town dealing with a family emergency

GTKY: What's your favorite book? A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller
