How far along are you? 7w4d

Anyone have an appointment this week? Less than a week out from my first appointment.

Cravings/Symptoms? Just hungry all the time and need to make more of an effort to eat more often. Some nausea, cramping, fatigue.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? I'm just praying I'll have a dating ultrasound next week. It's the same office I used with DS but it's already different. They saw me at 6 weeks last time and not until 8 this time so it's throwing me off and making me nervous.

Questions? Nope.

GTKY: It's early, but any babymoon thoughts or plans? I'm not sure when we will have time. I want to save my vacation time for maternity leave also so probably nothing.

Anyone have an appointment this week?
First appointment is on Tuesday!!

Cravings/Symptoms?
Sore BBs, intermittent cramps, slight background nausea, most food is just uninspiring, burping a lot and bloat

Rants/Raves/Randoms?
On a mini ski vaca this weekend. Nice change of pace and nice to be away from work. Hoping I can hide symptoms from the fam as we don't intend to tell yet since not everyone is here.

Questions?
Nope.

GTKY: It's early, but any babymoon thoughts or plans?
We have a family vacation planned to Alaska at the end of may that should be a lot of fun. I'm really hoping the second tri energy bump with be in full swing. Don't know if H and I will do something beyond that by ourselves. We took a nice long cruise last fall just the two of us pre-ttc that will probably stand as our babymoon.

cactusblossum · March 2017

@kmornelas29 Iceland would be awesome! I had family go there last year and the pictures were amazing!

Anyone have an appointment this week? Yes! I had my first on Tuesday 2/28. I got to see LO with DH... but found out I have a Fibroid very close to my cervix opening. Doc said it's quite small but could cause some issues when dilating. Hopefully that's not the case! I'm very nervous! She's going to monitor it through the pregnancy.

Also could not give any blood for labs, they poked my 4 TIMES and nothing. Both Arms. We're going to try again at the end of March... I just couldn't do it anymore... I got so sweaty and nervous that I just stopped relaxing. Trying to increase my water intake to help with the process next time.

I've already put on too much weight so I need to be very careful with my carb intake. I'm naturally a very light person with a small frame so this is a little different for me.

Cravings/Symptoms? Loving all of my sour and spicy veggies with lime, I eat an occassional drumstick ice cream cone... Again, trying to limit my carbs or unhealthy foods. Very mild symptoms. No MS, tender peaks, acne, greasy hair, and heightened emotional sensitivity. Mild cramps here and there and occasional RLP.

Rants/Raves/Randoms?
I was so happy to be tagged in the TTGP Grad thread earlier but honestly, i'm way too chicken to post. I was only really there about 1.5 months and although everyone is wonderful, I just think i'd be lynched.

Questions?

Has anyone else has issues with fibroid by cervix opening?

GTKY: It's early, but any babymoon thoughts or plans?
I barely have read about the whole babymoon thing. It's very cold where we are most of time, so it just depends on weather.

What I did do was ask DH what he misses prior to me being KU. I want to make sure that our relationship has balance and he is not being left out. There were a couple things I could do to make him feel less left out.

Poor hubs!

@cactusblossum you're so on top of it! Thanks for starting! I am jealous of your pre-ttc cruise. That sounds so gorgeous and relaxing.

@jessafishy ohh I hope they date your lo too. Would seem quite important, ya know? I got lucky to be seen at 7w. Typically they will wait til 8w at the OB I chose. Maybe it's an insurance thing?

@kmornelas29 yay for no puke!

cactusblossum · March 2017

@VLillyV we were on there about the same amount of time. I figure if we we're tagged, we're invited

jessafishy · March 2017

I'm with @cactusblossum, I was tagged so I posted!

VLillyV · March 2017

I'm gonna post. Rawr. (omg do you guys remember the days of the "rawr"?

dinosaur · March 2017

How far along are you? 8 W 6 D

Anyone have an appointment this week? I have my first ultrasound tomorrow afternoon! I'm so excited.

Cravings/Symptoms? I no longer wake up starving, so that's weird. My coworker just tested my sense of smell and asked me if I could tell what she was eating from across the room. It was oranges, I passed.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? I'm only going to post in this and the ticker change until people stop being so stupid.

Questions? Nope.

GTKY: It's early, but any babymoon thoughts or plans? Probably not. We're so busy with the big move.

canonmom413 · March 2017

Hey sorry guys. Had to work...

How far along are you? 6+3

Anyone have an appointment this week? Nope 2 weeks from yesterday !

Cravings/Symptoms? Still craving red meat. Same symptoms as previous weeks. Nothing new.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? I'm so stressed about this weekend. I just wanna sleep !! Competition weekend and we'll it's always super early wake up and super late bedtime

Questions? None

GTKY: It's early, but any babymoon thoughts or plans? No babymooning with older two kids. We may take a family trip to the poconos in late July.

bluejeanbabi05 · March 2017

I'm running out of class so sorry this is late and that I'm not responding to everyone! Love tits to all.

@jessafishy fx for an ultrasound next week!

@dinosaur Heya stranger. So exciting about your ultrasound I can't wait to see pics!!! +10000 on selectively posting. Although some things about this particular thread could improve. Cough cough.

@canonmom413 love the Tales Of A Dance Mom thing you've got going on, lol. I bet they look so freaking adorable up on stage. All the feels.

How far along are you? 7+6

Anyone have an appointment this week? Just had my 8wk ultrasound, and baby's hb was fantastic. I cried during the appt because my symptoms disappeared this week and I had almost convinced myself it was over.

Cravings/Symptoms? Now I'm committed to just enjoying the lack of symptoms for as long as they last. Although, all I want to eat is carbs. All the carbs. Protein does not sound good. Can I live off bagels??

Rants/Raves/Randoms? Baby seriously looks like a lizard in my most recent u/s photo, lol. Hopefully that's not indicative of real life

Questions? Nope!

GTKY: It's early, but any babymoon thoughts or plans? I was just talking about this with DH. We are a 7 hour drive from Savannah and have never been. They have a gorgeous inn there with a really affordable and sweet babymoon package we may take advantage of for a weekend. Lots to do, see and eat there, so I won't feel as deprived of the alcohol part of a vacation.

Also- I don't think it's that early to think about, since if we are going to take one (which I don't think is at all necessary, they're likely super overhyped) it should probably be early enough in our pregnancies to truly enjoy it!

jessafishy · March 2017

@bluejeanbabi05 Savannah is gorgeous!

canonmom413 · March 2017

@bluejeanbabi05 it's sometimes comical, sometimes emotional, but always rewarding.
When we get our FB group you'll see them. DD 1 is my profile pic right now of a super awesome tilt jump.

dinosaur · March 2017

bluejeanbabi05 - Yes, cough cough lol.

cactusblossum · March 2017

@Dinosaur yay for your appointment! GL!

@bluejeanbabi05 that place sounds lovely

virginiaham · March 2017

@bluejeanbabi05 so so happy for your good scan

BTW, are we still doing a weekly PGAIF thread? I thought it was such a good idea but haven't seen it around recently.

How far along are you? 7+6

Anyone have an appointment this week? Yestersday with my midwife, I saw the baby on trans-abd US

and she's setting up a formal viability scan for me.

Cravings/Symptoms? Craving Top Ramen and all other manner of salty/savory foods when I feel like I can eat. Waves of nausea/sore full boobs/hip pain.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? I was called off of work this weekend unexpectedly. This week's best surprise ever.

Questions?

GTKY: It's early, but any babymoon thoughts or plans? Possibly to Europe with some friends!

bluejeanbabi05 · March 2017

@virginiaham *hangs head in shame* I have completely forgotten to start it the last two weeks! Should we today? Or wait until next week?

virginiaham · March 2017

@bluejeanbabi05 let's do it today! I'll totally show my support and come play

cactusblossum · March 2017

@virginiaham good ultrasound and surprise weekend off? #winning
