1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
6 weeks, pomegranate seed

2. How are you feeling?
I think I am starting to get exaustion, but that could just be all the stress in my personal life as well. But I just remember that being so hard and all I wanted to do was sleep. That is where I am right now.

3. Any appointments this week?
No, 2 more weeks till my first appt.

4. Rants/raves/questions?
I am kind of a Debby downer right now regarding personal life and all the issues we are having with our builder. But I got to work from home yesterday and got breaks to spend time with my DS so that always makes me happy. And it is going to be beautiful weather all week!

5. GTKY: Are you hoping for a boy or girl?
I really want a girl. We have a boy right now, but I always pictured having a girl just to share the same experiences I had with my mom. But it would be cool for our son to have a brother as well. If I could chose, it would be girl though.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 6 weeks - Maine Blueberry

2. How are you feeling? It's all hitting me, nauseas, exhaustion, moodiness, tender boobs, but thankfully no puking. Its 9:45, thats totally an appropriate time for a nap right now? Work can wait. haha

3. Any appointments this week? Not for 3 weeks. Blah. Waiting blows. Remind me of this when my OB says I'm high risk and have to have increased appointments. Last time my weight put me in the high risk category. Unfortunately, I only lost 60 pounds, and not the 80 my previous OB had wanted before getting pregnant this time. Oh well.

4. Rants/raves/questions?

5. GTKY: Are you hoping for a boy or girl? (I KNOW that all we really care about is a healthy baby but if you could choose...) I really want a girl. BUT I'm sure it will be a boy, so I'm going into this with that in mind so that when it's a boy I wont have gender disappointment like I did last time.

maelove · June 2017

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

2. How are you feeling? Feeling good over-all. Nervous because I've had the dreaded brown-pink discharge on and off since week 6.

3. Any appointments this week? we have a repeat ultrasound tomorrow to make sure nugget is growing appropriately!

4. Rants/raves/questions? Our immediate family (MIL cough cough) is putting a lot of pressure on us to announce so she doesn't have to keep the secret but I'm just not ready yet. I'm gonna stand my ground on this one for now.

5. GTKY: Are you hoping for a boy or girl? (I KNOW that all we really care about is a healthy baby but if you could choose...) I think girl but only because DH wants a girl and I like that.

clearlyclara · June 2017

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
9 weeks! Baby's the size of a cherry

2. How are you feeling?
Still exhausted but getting my energy back... Still nauseous at times but only if I'm hungry. My skin is getting super dry and flaky but lotion helps. Dunno why this is my pregnancy symptom!

3. Any appointments this week?
Not this week, but I have another ultrasound for next Tuesday to check up on baby! Excited and scared at the same time... *Tw due to my history of missed miscarriages, I feel like I never know what is going on with baby unless an ultrasound confirms a heartbeat. Saw one last time at 7w1d. I'll be almost 10 weeks at this ultrasound and I feel like I would be able to breathe a lil bit and not worry if everything is ok this time.

4. Rants/raves/questions?
Rant: why does the first trimester have to be so long? :P

5. GTKY: Are you hoping for a boy or girl? (I KNOW that all we really care about is a healthy baby but if you could choose...)
I have been feeling like this time it is a boy. I'm open to having a girl or a boy though! Only time will tell if my intuition is right

zamoraspin · June 2017

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 7w baby is the size of a blueberry.

2. How are you feeling? Yesterday the nausea and fatigue hit hard. Today no nausea just tired, even though I got more than 8 hours of sleep. Also, sore boobs. But overall I really shouldn't complain because I've felt good.

3. Any appointments this week? Yes, first appointment with new doctor is tomorrow. I'm nervous and excited. It's hard to concentrate on other stuff right now.

4. Rants/raves/questions? Not really any of these things but I do have an event coming up tomorrow (professional related) that will involve an open bar. A friend of mine is also going and I am going to have to be on my game to conceal the not drinking thing. I'm hoping to score one drink that looks like booze (a club soda and lime for example) early on and then say I'm just sticking to one drink. That may be harder if they are only serving beer and wine, which is possible. Do you guys plan out your drink fake outs in advance?

5. GTKY: Are you hoping for a boy or girl? (I KNOW that all we really care about is a healthy baby but if you could choose...) All my life I was scared that if I had a boy I would not know how to raise him because I grew up with five sisters (a combination of step, half and whole). Now that I'm actually pregnant I really don't feel a strong preference - we are hoping to have two kids and I think at this point I hope we either have two girls or two boys.

fivetimesnoluck · June 2017

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
8w, peanut M&M

2. How are you feeling?
Queasy. Not nauseated, but definitely off. Started yesterday. Otherwise pretty ok. Exhausted, but ok.

3. Any appointments this week?
Today! Measuring right on track with a HB of 168

4. Rants/raves/questions?
My husband is amazing. That is all.

5. GTKY: Are you hoping for a boy or girl? (I KNOW that all we really care about is a healthy baby but if you could choose...)
I am not saying this to be cutesy, but after all the trouble we have had to get to this point, healthy is ALL I care about. If you asked what my intuition is, I would say today I am feeling like it's a boy.

Congrats on losing 60 lbs, @supercoolstephy - I know you said you missed the goal by a little, but that is still awesome!

EmilyLove25 · June 2017

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 10 weeks (double digits!) and the baby is the size of a neon cardinal tetra fish!

2. How are you feeling? Yesterday was the first day in weeks I felt okay… sadly, that passed, and I puked at a lunch meeting.

3. Any appointments this week? Nope, but I go next Wednesday to have the genetic blood test done that also will disclose the gender.

4. Rants/raves/questions? I was so hoping to rave today that I was starting to feel better, but alas, today isn’t the best, lol. Still, I feel like being ¼ of the way done is rave-worthy… and soon the FUN part of pregnancy starts!

5. GTKY: Are you hoping for a boy or girl? (I KNOW that all we really care about is a healthy baby but if you could choose...) This is so hard for me… if I was doing this alone, I’d want a girl, but I know DH would love a boy, so I guess I am leaning that way, but only 51% - 49%. If I hadn’t already had a daughter, I would 99% want a daughter though.

zamoraspin · June 2017

Sorry I had to do a p&g earlier.

@clearlyclara FX for your appt next week!

@supercoolstephy That's an incredible amount of weight loss! Don't beat yourself up over the last few pounds. I had also been working on weight loss before we TTC and didn't quite get to my goal. At least we're more healthy than we were before!

@fivetimesnoluck Yay, I'm so glad your appt went well!

@EmilyLove25 I'm sorry you're feeling so sick. I hope it lets up for you soon.

Ok, now I do have a rant. My old OBGYN's office has not faxed my records to the new office. I faxed them the form yesterday morning but they "only do that on Fridays", something no one told me when I previously called about it. They've said they'll try but it's "their busy day." I go in to my new doctor's office tomorrow and it'll be pretty annoying if they don't have my records. I should have asked them to do it sooner I guess, I just didn't realize it was something that would take more than 24 hours to accomplish.

hesitantrenovator · June 2017

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 8 Weeks, a kidney bean

2. How are you feeling? I'm doing pretty well. No real morning sickness, unlike my last two pregnancies. I am having strong food aversions and struggling to find anything that sounds good.

3. Any appointments this week? My first appointment and ultrasound is next Tuesday!

4. Rants/raves/questions? We are moving soon and selling our place and I'm waiting to hear about a new job - all these changes have me stressed and anxious.

5. GTKY: Are you hoping for a boy or girl? (I KNOW that all we really care about is a healthy baby but if you could choose...) MH and I would both love a little girl to join our two boys.

supercoolstephy · June 2017

@zamora_spin Ughhhhh I'm switching OBs and I need to do that too.

zamora_spin

I've been faking it with virgin drinks...mocktails.

madcouplewithabox · June 2017

*lurker* I heard on "the birth hour" podcast that technically you don't even have to make contact with your old OB if you don't want to. The new one should have some forms you can fill out giving them permission for the documents and they can do the leg work of getting your history from your old OB, that way you don't have to deal with the "well why are you leaving us" questions.

KatieEl · June 2017

@madcouplewithabox that's exactly how I left my first OB, asked for the form and never looked back!
