5) GTKY: What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
Re: *TUESDAY Ticker change (3.7)*
2) How are you feeling? Pretty good. These last two days have been rough, though. The unisom and B6 has helped so far but I think I'm in the middle of the worst week(s) for ms so the nausea is seriously creeping up again
3) Any appointments or tests this week? No appointments ti March 20 (12 week mark!)
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? My boobs are back to being huge. I was loving the deflated, smaller bust size after nursing two littles for at least a year each. Can't wait for them to shrink again, in 18 months, LOL
5) GTKY: What's your favorite ice cream flavor? It's a tie between dulce de leche and coffee
1) How many weeks are you? 8 or 9. 8 based on measurements, 9 based on EDD.
2) How are you feeling? Generally... not so good. Nausea is awful. It comes and goes all day. I can't think about food without the urge to gag. I was given some Diclegis and it helps a little, but I can not wait until this crap is over.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Last Thurs I got to see my bean for the first time.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Has anyone taken Diclegis and found it effective after a few days? I've been taking it since last Thursday and I noticed yesterday and today I've felt a little better in general. Does it typically take a few days to build up effectiveness? Or is it supposed to be an at-the-time relief?
5) GTKY: What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Peanut butter cup.
BFP #2 3/18/19 * EDD 11/25/19* DS born 11/30/19
2) How are you feeling? I get sick at night, after dinner. I'm also getting pretty bad stretch marks on my hips, thighs, and tush. Today, I hate the world. Must be the hormones, or work... or both.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? None, not until the end of March
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? None at the moment
5) GTKY: What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Black Cherry. Oh my lawd. Black Cherry!
@crazypuglady Welcome to Tuesday! Glad to have you
I take 25mg of B6 in the morning, another 25 in the afternoon, and a full unisom and another 25 of B6 around 8pm. I accidentally skipped one morning dose last week and totally felt the difference so I know it's been working (even tho the nausea has increased these last few days but I think it's because I'm 10 weeks)
2) How are you feeling? Not too bad. Still gaggy and exhausted, but no worse than I have been feeling.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Nope.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I guess a rave would be that we are telling H's family tonight! I'm really excited to start telling people.
5) GTKY: What's your favorite ice cream flavor? It changes frequently. Usually something with chocolate and/or caramel and/or peanut butter, but occasionally I go for fruity flavors instead.
2) How are you feeling? For the most part I'm mostly just exhausted, but nausea is starting to kick in.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Nope!
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Just told my boss today as I feel like it is noticeable I'm not my normal self. He had a completely different reaction than I expected. He was super excited for me and told me to work from home as needed.
5) GTKY: What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Vanilla with swirls of salted caramel
last couple of days have been some of the best - little to no nausea and less achy. More headaches and still a little bloated but overall much much better than sleepy all day and gagging queen!
no appointments this week, not until the 14 and 29 NT scan
been on the fence about changing OB or going to midwife. And feeling lonely since we haven't announced to parents or family yet. But hoping to let them in on our secret soon (:
fav ice cream is vanilla, orange sherbet, or butter pecan. Half melted of course!
2) feeling pretty awful actually. So stinkin sick. I threw up 3 times on Friday but luckily it's let up a bit. I felt like I have different degrees of sickness every day, is that normal? I don't remember it being so variant with my son. And I'm soooo tired. And hardly any appetite at all.
3) my first appointment is finally tomorrow! Praying they'll at least use a Doppler and hopefully schedule me for my first ultrasound this week. Really want to see my peanut!!
4) rave - *TW*** I officially have made it past the week of loss in my last pregnancy (I was 7 weeks). I know it doesn't mean I'm in the clear but it gives me some peace of mind because I'm way more sick and everything else is completely normal (no spotting or cramping).
5) soft serve twist, or hand dipped chocolate/peanut butter type combination
2) How are you feeling? ok little bouts of nausea and like slow digestion
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Nope
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope
5) GTKY: What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Reading these responses have made me super hungry for ice cream haha but I will say chocolate soft serve with sprinkles or peanuts
2)I have been sick. Sick. SICK.
3) no appointments for a month!
4)We just moved and SO wants everything done and in its place yesterday. I was exhausted Saturday so I went to sleep at 7 pm and slept all night. The next morning he says I should suck it up because I'm always sick anyways and I'm "barely pregnant". He missed the fun
of the first trimester with our son but he's feeling it now.
I'm so behind in school I may have to drop a class and I'm home with 2 sick kids, one who gets night terrors/hallucinations when he gets a fever.
5) today my fave ice cream flavor is pistachio. Yesterday it was butter pecan. Lol
@MamaStreeter- I have changing degrees of MS as well. Again, I think the meds are helping to a degree, but last week I would get quite nauseous after breakfast, feel better around midday, and have it come back after work. This week I seem to have constant mild nausea undertones, with it increasing when I need to eat.
@valerieclarisse- I'm sorry your H was being insensitive. I hope you gave him hell... I would have. Course... mine just turns around and tells me I'm extra sensitive right now. Men.
BFP #2 3/18/19 * EDD 11/25/19* DS born 11/30/19
6 weeks
2) How are you feeling?
oscillate between relatively fine and omg this is awful. Started getting some dry heaving on Saturday. Last night was the closest I got to vomiting and would have if there had actually been anything in my stomach. Switch between no appetite and ravenous. Get super tired by mid afternoon. Probably at least half of the time I get a headache by midafternoon too. Sometimes it's so bad I just lay down and am done for the night.
3) Any appointments or tests this week?
this afternoon! We're leaving in about 20 minutes. This will be the first appt. I'm really hoping for an ultrasound but not expecting it.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
H has been great and super attentive and is so adorably excited for our appointment. Sorry to you guys who's SOs are being TWs
5) GTKY: What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
ahhh... My favorite food group! Totally depends on my mood and what brand but any chocolate & PB combo, coffee, or just plain chocolate. Not usually into the fruity ones. My new favorite thing is the halo top ice creams as they are only 240-360 calories for the whole pint and are freaking delicious!
eta- words are hard!
1) How many weeks are you? 6 weeks
2) How are you feeling? Some days are good, others I'm nauseaous. Haven't gotten sick (yet)
3) Any appointments or tests this week? First ultrasound is this Thursday
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I hate how hormones make me have zero patience!
5) GTKY: What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Plain old chocolate
2) How are you feeling? Well yesterday and today I've been hit with random bouts of nausea! So strange...things should be getting better! Other than that I'm still super tired...sore boobs that are worse at night. I'm still a picky eater. Yesterday I went shopping for dinner - we were going to have tilapia with pasta in a cream sauce mixed with spinach and tomatoes. As I was putting the food away I felt sick to my stomach and told my husband that it would just be cereal for me and that he had to fend for himself for dinner. This man came home with the most disgusting smelling Chinese food ever lol...I couldn't stand to sit next to him
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Not this week. First OB appointment is next week when I'm 11w1day. I'm not expecting an ultrasound at this visit since I just had one last week but I can't wait to finally be established at an OB practice.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Yeah I got summa those:
-- My freakin' doppler arrived today! I'm waiting for the husband to get home so that we can try finding the heartbeat together. I already read all the instructions and saw all the youtube videos so I'm ready to go as soon as he walks through those doors.
-- I told my good girlfriend who is 3 weeks ahead of me and two of our closest friends and their reactions were priceless
-- Today at work someone requested me to provide their anesthesia for a procedure they're having soon and I was so flattered! Unfortunately I'm going to be on vacation so I won't be able to help but it's nice to know that someone has seen my work and feels completely safe in my hands
5) GTKY: What's your favorite ice cream flavor? My all-time favorite is vanilla, boring I know but it's the perfect building block to add other things (caramel sauce, oreos, sprinkles, etc.) It's hard for anything to taste bad on top of vanilla ice cream! My runner ups would be butter pecan ice cream and hazelnut gelato.
ETA: Ok just used my fetal doppler and it only took 1 minute to find baby. Hearing that heart beating away at 165 was so freakin' amazing!!!!
Together since 2010, Married August 2014

1) How many weeks are you? 9
2) How are you feeling? Awesome!
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Had my second appointment today and due date got moved up!
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm just too excited to ask questions
5) GTKY: What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Anything with caramel!
2) How are you feeling? Thankfully, the nausea has started to subside!! Haven't puked since Thursday ... fingers crossed it stays that way! Sore boobs all the time, a constant weird taste in my mouth that never goes away, gas, constipation (which doesn't make sense with all the gas!), crazy moody and just plain irritable all the time. I feel bad for DH and DD right now! This crazy PNW weather isn't helping at all. Gimme some sunshine!!
3) Any appointments or tests this week? None this week. NT Ultrasound/Genetic Testing and next midwife appointment all on March 31st!
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? DH asked when we get to "do it" again. I glared and probably growled at him. Just because I haven't puked for a few days doesn't mean I'm up for that yet! (I honestly can't stand sex when I'm pregnant, but give in when I'm feeling semi decent) Especially when I know he wants to enjoy my bigger boobs. I told him they're off limits until the pain is gone.
5) GTKY: What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Mint chocolate chip, B&J's Half Baked, mostly anything with chocolate!
9 weeks today!
2) How are you feeling?
Sore nipples, a little bit of nausea and feeling so tired I get dizzy. And pregnancy brain is whooping my butt. So much time has been wasted hunting for lost items. You name it, I've lost it.
3) Any appointments or tests this week?
Appointment next week Thursday.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
None at this time.
5) GTKY: What's your favorite ice cream flavor?

3) Any appointments or tests this week?
Nope, next appt is March 30, for the 12 week sono!
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Question: what did you mom's do for storage and organization in a small house? Our house is a tiny 500 square foot cabin, and I'm looking for ways to conserve space.
5) GTKY: What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
lately, peppermint!
1) How many weeks are you? 6 weeks.
2) How are you feeling? Generally pretty good. Sore boobs and on/off decreased appetite.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Nope. First u/s is 3/20.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? DH and SMIL share the same birthday at the end of Oct. It would be hilarious if this LO was born on that day too.

Honorable mentions: Biggest IF support sister, sweetest bumpie, most genuine, LFAFer you'd most like to visit, great things come in small packages, pocket sized babe
1) How many weeks are you: 10 weeks
2) How are you feeling?: So much better, I think the worst is over. Though I am still really tired and dumb as all hell!
3) Any tests or appointments this week?: Nothing until late March. I'm hoping my excitement grows more once I've been to an appointment.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?: Not a good thing to rant about, but I'm annoyed at how soon I'm showing. With my last pregnancy I didn't show until 5 months, I was in a bikini in Mexico at 4 months and no one believed that I was pregnant. This go around, I have already heard people whisper behind my back asking if I'm pregnant. I'm being stupid and vain, but that's just one more thing that I'll blame on this pregnancy!
5) GTKY: What's your favourite ice cream flavour?: Mint chocolate, or strawberry, the good stiff with real strawberry chunks. And now I'm annoyed that I don't have any ice cream!
2) How are you feeling? No better or no worse than last week. Fatigue and super sore boobs are my most prominent symptoms.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? First midwife appointment on the 13th!
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Just want to say how awesome all you ladies are!
5) GTKY: What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Banana Fudge
2) Still nauseous at night, but it has been coming a bit later in the day. With DD it was gone by week 12/13 so I am hopeful.
3) Harmony blood test tomorrow to check for chromosome issues and gender!!! NT ultrasound scheduled for 3/23.
4) Wondering if it will be a boy or girl... all the old wives tales point to girl. Also wondering when I will need to get my maternity clothing out of storage. This pregnancy I am starting 15 pounds less than I started last pregnancy thanks to a trip to trip to India before we started trying and this terrible nausea.
5) cookie dough!!! Although can't eat it these days, not very appetizing to me right now
I hope it works for you!! I pretty much skipped the whole Diclegis fiasco after the pharmacy told me my insurance needed formal confirmation from the doctor to prescribe it (a simple script wasnt enough)
I'm a day late but I haven't been on here for a few days!
1) How many weeks are you? 9 weeks
2) How are you feeling? Not too bad. Sore boobs and still tired but that's nothing new
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Ultrasound tomorrow!
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Hopefully I get some solid answers tomorrow. I'm getting really tired of all these inconclusive ultrasounds!
5) GTKY: What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Vanilla or butterscotch swirl!!
