1) How many weeks are you?
8 Weeks

Still gaggy. Occasional light-headedness. Rage is still in full effect.
3) Any appointments or tests this week?
Had my first U/S on Wednesday, everything is lookin' good! Next wednesday is the full OB check up/medical history/blood work etc...
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? This pregnancy is already so different from my firs. Between feeling sicker and flying off the handle like the incredible hulk, i'll be really relieved when these hormones even out in trimester 2.

Hmmm this week i'd have to say my favorite thing in the world are flavor-ice icepops . I've been eating these like it's going out of style
1) How many weeks are you? 7 weeks
2) How are you feeling? Anxious. I have been dying to get an ultrasound to make sure baby is okay. Also very bloated!
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Not until 3/3
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I've had some mild spotting that is worrisome. My midwife says that its normal during the first trimester to spot and they'll do an ultrasound on my scheduled obgyn appointment. I'm truly trying not to worry. (Easier said)

Our new puppy.. He's keeping me company.
1) How many weeks are you? 8 weeks
2) How are you feeling? I am feeling very nauseous, but I have had the flu so I think it is a nauseous combo. My boobs have been extremely tender!
3) Any appointments or tests this week? None
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: I was so nauseous this weekend that I couldn't even enjoy a BuzzFeed quiz over pizza!
5)GTKY: What are a few of your favorite non-baby related things? Could be specific and brand-related or more general
Ummm Netflix!
@ervincherise What kind of puppy?!?
@mommaswizz I have been in love with ice pops too!
1) How many weeks are you?
7 weeks
2) How are you feeling?
A little nausea here and there, but overall really good. My boobs were really sore but they've gotten a lot better this week. I am super emotional, though.
3) Any appointments or tests this week?
Just had my 7wk ultrasound and we heard the baby's heartbeat loud and strong!
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I've been such an anxious mess this whole pregnancy so far to the point where I've had a hard time enjoying it. Today's ultrasound went great though, so I'm making a promise to myself to just enjoy the process from now on. Something could still go wrong but I need to stop expecting that. I'm going to banish any negative thoughts and just be happy.
5)GTKY: What are a few of your favorite non-baby related things?
My favorite things right now are my bed (lol) and the latte I allow myself every couple days. I used to drink coffee like a machine but now that it's more occasional it feels like a treat! I have to help out with a huge party on the beach tonight, so today's caffeine intake may exceed recommendations.

@feeislove- My sister just sent me this one this week
@mommaswizz- Ice pops huh...? I might have to get some of those...
@ervincherise- sorry for the spotting. I'd be anxious about that too. I'm sure everything is fine though... 1 more week!
@tnicole1s- No! Not the pizza! Worst aversion ever
@bluejeanbabi05- I'm sorry you've been anxious. What's been getting myself through is I'm not allowing my mind to go there. My mantra has been "everything is going to be perfectly normal." I know that it's not true and we still have so far to go before we can feel safe about things... but I drive myself crazy thinking about all the things that could go wrong. At least I can fight the negative thoughts that creep in by pretending.
1) How many weeks are you? 6!
2) How are you feeling? Um... a little sick. Not in a need-to-hug-the-toilet sort of way... more like a all-food-sounds-gross-to-me sort of way. Ugh. I do like to eat.. this is going to suck.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? 1st appointment and ultrasound next Thursday!
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I got mad at DH yesterday. I made pot roast with vegetables for dinner this week. The pot roast is ok.. but the vegetables have been making me queasy. Last night, DH piled the veggies on my plate and I was like...NO I don't want that many. He said "Why?" I said because they were making me queasy. Well he got all huffy and snappy at me and started shoving the veggies off my plate. I said "you know.. you said you were going to take care of me because I'm pregnant, you don't have to get snappy when I say something is making me feel sick, I can't help it" He said yeah, well you're not the queen.. and that he was doing everything so we could leave (We went to a show last night.) Ugh.. I yelled at him that he needs to be more sensitive about the situation... and that he doesn't need to act like a martyr- I never asked him to fix dinner and I had every intention to do it myself. Later, he apologized... but added in that he knows I reacted that way because I'm extra sensitive right now. Whatever dude.
My rave is we went to see Brain Candy Live last night (With Adam Savage and Michael Stevens) and ended up having a pretty good night.

My iPad.. I spend a lot of time on that. My pug... he's so snuggly. My bed... so comfy. The Keurig machine.. can't live without one.
BFP #2 3/18/19 * EDD 11/25/19* DS born 11/30/19
And if anything, he sounds like he was the one who was being "sensitive" about serving you too many vegetables. I mean...its not a huge deal to put some back.

Oh, and my sister sent me a bag of candy corn with it
BFP #2 3/18/19 * EDD 11/25/19* DS born 11/30/19
1) How many weeks are you? 8 Weeks
2) How are you feeling? Woke up to what I'm quite sure is a UTI - boo. But, otherwise, feeling pretty good!
3) Any appointments or tests this week? I had a second ultrasound this morning and everything looks great! I'm still measuring 1-2 days ahead but we're not adjusting the due date. I have been released from my RE back to my OB, which excites me.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? It's Friday! I felt just terrible yesterday, so I am glad to be feeling better (aside from the UTI) and looking forward to a fun weekend.

@crazypuglady I'm sorry your H was being a pain last night. Sometimes they just don't get it.Hmmm, my pups, for sure. @Mommaswizz I'm loving freezer pops right now, too! We bought a bunch of them for next to nothing back in November and I am so grateful, even if they're terrible for you.
@bluejeanbabi05 Yay for a great ultrasound - it really does help the anxious mind!
@tnicole1s Sorry you have the flu - hope you get over it soon! I love my Netflix as well.
@ervincherise Sorry about the spotting...it can be completely normal. What kind of puppy?
@feeislove Those figurines are too cute!

@Mommaswizz hooray for a good u/s! I love those Flavor-Ice pops so much and I love that they come in those huge bulk packs. I always eat 4 or 5 in a sitting.
@ervincherise sorry to hear you're spotting but just a few more days till your appt and hopefully it will put your mind at ease. And my puppy's been keeping me good company too!
@tnicole1s sorry you're so sick. Hopefully once the flu passes your symptoms may ease up a bit.
@bluejeanbabi05 that's so great you got to hear a string heartbeat today! So happy for you! Hope you have a good time at your party tonight.
@crazypuglady sorry DH isn't understanding where you're coming from. At least it didn't ruin the event and you guys enjoyed the night out.
@laeberge3 hope you feel better soon! UTI's really suck. But great that your RE graduated you!
@Dinosaur moving can be so stressful! Try to take it easy and give yourself rewards for good progress!
2) How are you feeling?... Symptoms are getting stronger and stronger. Almost passed out at the grocery store yesterday and wasn't sure I was going to get out of there without throwing up. Today not feeling the MS as bad thankfully.
3) Any appointments or tests this week?... Nope
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?... Seriously have a rave about making the most awesome salad for lunch. Huge plate of spinach, mandarin oranges, cranberries, glazed pecans, red onion, alfalfa sprouts, balsamic vinaigrette and blue cheese crumbles. Mmmm mmm mmmm! Little mini rant that although I just adore our new(ish) puppy he is extremely demanding. All I want to do when I come home from work is to take a nap but he's been in his crate all morning and needs play, which is fine, but his energy level is super high. Takes quite a while to tire him out. I feel like once the baby comes I won't get chances to sneak in naps and I'm losing all the opportunities that I I wish I could be having right now for those naps. Oh well. Lucky he's darn cute.
5) GTKY: What are a few of your favorite non-baby related things? Could be specific and brand-related or more general.... At the moment it would be my work hours (I'm home by noon) and avocados.@crazypuglady oh no. My DH has been sleeping more than me leaving me to do all of the house chores. I just keep reminding myself that this too shall pass.
@laeberge3 sorry to hear. I think UTI s are common during pregnancy. He's a siberian husky. I'll post a pic here later today.
1) How many weeks are you? 7 per ovulation
2) How are you feeling? The toilet and I are friends and not for vomiting
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Just had a redraw on blood after my Monday check up, next appt is Tuesday for U/S
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I would love to not wake up every 2hrs already to pee.
5)GTKY: What are a few of your favorite non-baby related things? Could be specific and brand-related or more general ...items? Ummmm I'm an addict for Tarte and Benefit products. I also can't get enough Arby's and I'm OBSESSED with our new Sprouts store. I also have a love affair with Target.
