    9 weeks, size of a cherry

    2. How are you feeling?
    exhausted 

    3. Any appointments this week?
    Yes!!! My first appointment is on Thursday. I don't think my fiance will be able to make it though and that makes me kind of sad because I don't knowif they're doing an ultrasound. 

    4. Rants, raves, questions?
    I hit my knee hard on the door frame of the mail truck yesterday and now it hurts pretty bad. I hope it's just bruised and I didn't crack my kneecap or something. 

    5. GTKY: What are your hobbies?
    I unfortunately don't have time for hobbies anymore but I used to love reading and going to the beach.

    Reading, crafting and being outdoors with my dogs :)

    Someone else said Pinterest so I feel OK for putting that lol, going to wake walks to the park with DD, movie dates with DH and oddly enough when I have the energy I like to clean and organize 

    • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

      5. GTKY: What are your hobbies? 
      I love reading, art, travel, and am obsessed with my dog and spend basically all my time with him because he's the best.
  • @AntWolfe
    I'm trying to wait until 12 weeks to say anything on Facebook but my fiance is dying for everyone to know so we'll see how my appointment goes this week. Right now only a handful of people know.
  • @AntWolfe We don't plan on making it FB official at all. We didn't with either of our other successful pregnancies either. We will do a birth announcement with a baby picture, but I'm not big on pregnancy announcements. It's probably my U/O, but I think they're pretty corny and most are overdone at this point.

  • @kissthesky32 I agree, I think they're pretty corny but I still love them! I can't stand corny engagement/wedding things but for whatever reason, bring on allll the baby cheesiness. Maybe it's because I've seen very few as the majority of my friends aren't even engaged yet much less ready for babies.

  • I totally understand, @DuchessOfCambridge. I remember thinking they were cute when everyone started having babies. But now most of our friends have a child or two or three and all of my younger sibling's friends, who are my FB friends too, have started with the announcements too. I LOVE seeing birth announcements and the pictures of cute little squishes, but just scroll past all the little shoes, mom + dad = 3, holiday themed play on words things. I don't think they're bad at all, they just seem overdone with my social media group.

  • @kissthesky32 I totally get that. Also just realized I was a commenting lurker and this isn't the announcement plans thread :lol:

  • If your due date is 11/6, 11/13, 11/20, 11/27, this is for you! 

    1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 10 weeks, strawberry or Kumquat 

    2. How are you feeling?
    Starting to feel pregnant. DH is super excited to see "a real baby" on our next ultrasound. He's been studying up with the yourduedate.com site!

    3. Any appointments this week?
    4/26... measuring in between LMP and when I think I ovulated, so instead of 11/13 (what perinatologist is going with) and 11/20, we may get moved to 11/17 like the OB "picked".

    4. Rants, raves, questions?
    Got three tubs of maternity clothes from my sister and her friends. Still waiting on one more. I feel like I hit the jackpot!

    5. GTKY: What are your hobbies? I enjoy genealogy and researching my huge family tree. Before getting pregnant, I played in a coed sports league. I love taking pictures, but don't get to use my camera too often. I read on my phone a lot and pin things on Pinterest that I'll never make. Haha!

    2. How are you feeling?
    feeling fine although today I've been really tired and a bit light headed and felt unwell start ding in a crowd for ANZAC service . Over all tho things are fine 

    3. Any appointments this week?
    Had 12 week NT scan yesterday (mon)
    And will see my doctor this week for a referral to the hospital for my midwife appt next week 

    4. Rants, raves, questions?
    Grr people who smoke in a crowd or walking in common areas where other people have to exist 
    This bothered me always but now I can smell smokers who walk near by who aren't even smoking 

    5. GTKY: What are your hobbies?
    I make things . Like all kinds
    Crochet. knit. needle felting. Paper craft. Cake decorating and baking . Sewing. Illustration and watercolour painting 
    Soap and natural beauty products. Wood and bone carving silversmith and wirework all kinds if things 
    I collect skulls and succulents and enjoy gardening 
    I also pole dance do contortion and belly dance but I'm a model and burlesque performer so not sure it's hobby or work

    I'm probably forgetting something much of my hobby stuff crosses over into work too so it's a complex question to ask me 

  • @AntWolfe Mother's Day is the second trimester for me, so that's when we will go public. People who see me on a regular basis pretty much know or suspect already due to the blump.
    @foxairt That's a lot of hobbies!
    @rachelb51212 It's cool that you still play.
    @kissthesky32 You didn't jinx yourself! I have put some maternity clothes on and had good ultrasounds after.  ;)

  • @AntWolfe

    Still haven't told anyone in the family  
    I've told 4 people early in confidence  . 3 of my instructors at pole and contortion. For safety 
    And my piercer when I had micro dermal removed in saturday from my hip and nipple bar resized (thanks to my nipple growing)

    Apart from that weve not announced. And are going to wait till mothers day
    We are currently looking for a house and hopefully can buy and move with a good amount of grace time before our little leanbh arives
    We have ordered sterling silver keyrings  as gifts for my Mum and MIL which will be laser engraved with the heartbeat Soundwave from Mondays scan.

    However I think I'm starting to show early and mothers day puts us at 15weeks 
    I had hoped being fit fron dancing would keep my belly tight but I think being thin means there's nowhere to hide the growing bub
    I defiantly no longer have hip dips or visible abs even after a workout . Lucky we are autumn here and the weather getting colder affords me bigger clothes 
    We hesitated to announce at Easter and 11wks without the scan and also we hadn't seen the bank yet and living at my parents for the transition we didn't want to panic them that we would be hatching here so we waited 

    I still struggle to say it out lout to my husband 
    Fairly private and don't invite the enviable attention so don't mind putting it off 


  • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
          10 weeks!! 1/4 of the way done!! Baby is the size of a strawberry, kumquat, cardinal tera fish, petit four, and a LEGO guy (which is my favorite size reference so far)! 
    2. How are you feeling?
    Still really tired, but I feel like I can get out of bed in the morning now, so that's good. I don't feel as bloated this week, though I'm still having MS and I'm still starving all the time! 
    3. Any appointments this week?
    Yes! I just have a quick appointment to get my blood drawn for my Panorama test, I just can't wait to get the results!
    4. Rants, raves, questions?
    -I'm glad everyone knows we're pregnant now, I feel like it takes the pressure off of things when I all of sudden need to run to the bathroom, or I cancel plans because my MS is too terrible. People are very understanding now that they know a lego guy is causing the problems!
    5. GTKY: What are your hobbies?
    I love to read, go to museums, spend time with our animals, fish, hike, camp, and DH and I do target shooting, so I spend a lot of time at a gun range, which I will do until about 16 weeks when baby can start hearing. 
  • I skipped the past two weeks since I prefer to reply on my computer and I was just too lazy to do it. I figure I need to catch up with everyone.

    1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
    12 weeks. Size of an apricot.
    2. How are you feeling?
    I thought I was doing better. I feel great in the morning but once I start eating it all goes downhill. Every time I eat, doesn't matter what it is, within 10-30 minutes I feel horrible for the next two to three hours. 
    3. Any appointments this week?
    Would have had one this week but couldn't due to work schedules so it's on May 1st.
    4. Rants, raves, questions?
    Rave- I don't know what happened to my DH but I think he finally gets how bad I've been feeling and has been being really nice.
    5. GTKY: What are your hobbies?
    Sewing, paper crafting, and baking. Haven't been able to do much of any of them lately though.
  • Hey all,
    1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? I'm at 12wks. Size of baby plum :)
    2. How are you feeling?  Still nauseated but some days I feel pretty good. I think it really depends on what I eat the night before and how much I eat. Other than that I feel like crying at everything. Crazy mood swings
    3. Any appointments this week?  nothing till week 15

    4. Rants, raves, questions?
    I can't think of anything. Very forgetful these days  :#
    5. I'm into making slimes and I'm thinking about opening an online shop one day.
