1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 9 weeks - a green olive today
2. How are you feeling? Honestly, I'm reallllly anxious and have been going a bit crazy for the last 2 or 3 days. I don't feel pregnant and I go through waves where I try to prepare myself for the worst. My mom and husband both point out that these feelings are unfounded and I'm trying to keep the lid on my crazy, but I'm worried. I have an OB appointment on Thursday to be tested for zika and go over other blood work, and I'm hoping my doctor can calm my fears. We'll see... next ultrasound is scheduled until June 1st and that feels like SUCH a long time.
3. Any appointments this week? Two long drives this week - today to see my kidney doctor and Thursday to see my OB.
4. Rants, raves, questions? Rave: DH doesn't understand where all of this anxiety over our pregnancy is coming from, but he's being very supportive. Actually, he's getting really into looking at baby gear and now has a "favorite stroller" LOL. It's adorable.
5. GTKY: What is your favorite game or sport to watch and play? I love college and pro football. The Steelers are my absolute favorite to watch and I miss football Saturdays and Sundays so much in the spring. I used to swim competitively and was on a crew team in college -- both were great mental sports. I'm not so athletic these days though, truthfully.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 8 weeks, raspberry
2. How are you feeling? Friday I got sent home for throwing up too much, felt like crap all weekend, Trying to remember it is a good sign to feel like crap and that things are progressing, but man does it suck.
3. Any appointments this week? Ultrasound on the 17th, along with 1 hr glucose test yay!
4. Rants, raves, questions? Rant: my ob still hasn't called me back to explain what low antibodies mean. I'm assuming its not life threatening, but so annoying since I learned about it on Wednesday. Raves: DH was awesome this weekend helping me with the boys.
5. GTKY: What is your favorite game or sport to watch and play?
Watch: probably football. Play softball/baseball. The boys wanted to play catch all weekend. It was so cute.

@CandyApple2012 I hope you get relief from your anxiety. Pregnancy is such a rollercoaster of emotions and fears! I'm glad your hubby is being super supportive and hopefully your doc appointment will help ease your mind.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
I am 10 weeks so baby is a strawberry
2. How are you feeling?
I'm actually starting to feel amazeballs and that's so nice after the past week.
3. Any appointments this week?
Had one today. Tried to hear the heartbeat for funzies but couldn't keep it on the peanut long enough.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Nope
5. GTKY: What is your favorite game or sport to watch and play? I like watching football and playing basketball

@AFrye0726 I hope you start to feel better soon & that you at least got some rest on Friday!
@CandyApple2012 ugh, I hate the anxiety. With my DD I asked someone when the worry ends, and they said never (it's just different worry once they're out of the womb!). Take care of yourself and take it one day at a time (that's what helps me).
@missbmama Yay for feeling great!!!

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
9 weeks-a cherry!

2. How are you feeling?
less exhausted (I actually got some sewing done the weekend!), still battling queasiness in the afternoon as well as sore breasts all the time.

3. Any appointments this week?
Nope--had a great ultrasound on Friday where we saw the little babe wiggling around and heard the HB. Next appt. is 5/23

4. Rants, raves, questions?
Told my parents and my MIL this weekend after the good appointment on Friday--everyone was so happy! I'll be telling my sister today (it's her birthday).

5. GTKY: What is your favorite game or sport to watch and play?
Basketball to watch (big Warriors fan). To play... I am an open water swimmer (when I am not pregnant-the water is too cold for my little baby!).

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 10 weeks and the pip is the size of a kumquat.
2. How are you feeling? This weekend was rough. All the nausea, lots of vomiting and my first migraine since I've been pregnant. This is probably because we had a super busy weekend that involved a lot of time in the car and out in the heat.
3. Any appointments this week? nope.
4. Rants, raves, questions? We spilled the beans on Facebook this weekend. We knew with the poker run and the hearse show that we would be around a lot of people all weekend and they might figure it out anyway.
5. GTKY: What is your favorite game or sport to watch and play? I'm not much for sports, although I do like to go to a hockey game now and then. I love games of all sorts we are big on playing card games and board games with our friends. We've even delved into the ultimate nerdiness of playing D&D which I though I would hate but with our hilariously silly group it was a really wonderful time.

lavashiner · May 2017

@brittabatwhite My friends and I tried to start up a D&D night but it dissolved before it even began.

Ultimate nerdiness!!!

AFrye0726 · May 2017

@lavashiner thanks. I'm hoping so too!
@brittabatwhite Nerd here too! Haven't done D&D yet, but was playing Pokemon Go all night Saturday.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 7, the size of a dice
2. How are you feeling? ok, nausea, fatigue, bloat, constipation... the usual
3. Any appointments this week? nope not till next week
4. Rants, raves, questions? just happy to see the weeks slowly ticking away. I can't wait to be in the second trimester.
5. GTKY: What is your favorite game or sport to watch and play? I love all the non-traditional stuff like luge or curling, diving etc. give me all the random olympic sports!

@CandyApple2012 i'm sorry the anxiety is kicking in. sometimes the mantra "today I am pregnant" helps.
@AFrye0726 hopefully your OB calls you back soon. I hate when they leave you hanging.
@missbmama glad you have a wiggly peanut!
@lavashiner that's great you had a good appointment last week
@brittabatwhite sorry you felt so crummy this weekend. I hate migraines

ShyTonia · May 2017

@CandyApple2012 I am right there with you girl. My next appt is with my Obgyn on the 19th and we will be able to hear the HB. I'll be just 4 days shy of 12 weeks. I kept telling myself once we see the HB I'll be more relaxed, which I am but now my new thing is I'll be MUCH more relaxed when I hear the heartbeat and see that our lil babe has grown more. DH is super supportive which is great and he just loves this baby carrier he found for himself lol. My problem is I get sucked into the google vortex. I'm so glad we have eachother here.

@wabash15I totally agree! I say that to myself when I start to go towards the negative space. And it is the best tool for me. Because it is the truth. I am a healthy happy pregnant woman today! Xoxo

@AFrye0726 that's so frustrating, it wouldn't hurt to give them a call?

AFM,

1. How many weeks are you? 10weeks
What size is baby? A Strawberry!
2. How are you feeling?
I am feeling ok. As long as I snack throughout the day the nausea seems to take a back seat. Right about now is when I start to feel it more after dinner. I get almost 9 1/2 hours of sleep every night which is double than what I needed before being pregnant but I'm still tired. Just trying to listen to my body more. And rest as often as I can.
3. Any appointments this week?
no
4. Rants, raves, questions? I just can't wait till my next appt. we are just so very excited and want everything to be ok. Being pregnant is a huge "letting go of control" lesson for me lol. I don't necessarily need to be in control of everything , I just wish I can see what's going on inside my belly. Just trying to stay in the moment.
5. GTKY: What is your favorite game or sport to watch and play?
my favorite game to play growing up was volleyball and I also grew up racing sailboats, I love anything sports to do with the beach or water!

rachswi · May 2017

1. I'm 7 weeks - extra smalls is the size of a blueberry
2. I've had pretty awful nausea... it's definitely worse this time than it was with my son
3. No appointments till next Thursday
4. My husband has been AMAZING - he woke up early this morning and did the dishes then cleaned the living room. He makes me feel so loved. Rant- I hate feeling so useless and I feel bad that my son is watching so much tv but I can barely handle playing with him.
5. I love the Cubs! My whole family took my parents to the cubs game on Thursday and it was so much fun!

AFrye0726 · May 2017

@ShyTonia So frustrating, I did call for 2 days after I found out.

They called me yesterday to basically told me it was no big deal. It's still weird, why was it even on the blood test if it doesn't mean anything. I guess I'll ask the Dr. on Wednesday.
