KatieEl · June 2017

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 10 weeks! Baby is the size of a kumquat (lol)

2. How are you feeling? A little spotting, a little fatigue, a lot of nausea. But: I'm really focusing on movement this week, because even though it's counterintuitive I remember that really making me feel better in my previous pregnancies. And I'm anxiously waiting for my genetic testing on Thursday (and the results!).

3. Any appointments this week? InformaSeq testing on Thursday, and then waiting impatiently for the results

4. Rants/raves/questions? Rants: spotting (even light and brown) is such a mind-f. Raves: I went for a lovely walk this morning. Questions: Anyone have any birth books/podcasts they love? I'm kind of a junkie and I'm always looking for new (to me) ones.

5. GTKY: What is a favorite memory from college? Or the college age years (18-22ish)? I think it was my very first Breakfast Club (A Purdue tradition where students dress up in costumes and go to the bars to drink before football games.) . And then try to make it to the game, if the vats of screwdrivers don't catch up with them! My roommate and I dressed up as a Disney princess/villain combo and we just had so much fun!

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
10 weeks! Baby is the size of a lego person!

2. How are you feeling?
Overall very good. I was able to plan a handful of meals for the next couple of days for the first time in a long time, but food is still touch and go! Kinda craving fruit right now so I'm making fruit salsa and cinnamon chips today. I am feeling more like myself and that is awesome! Also, the boobs are growing.

3. Any appointments this week?
Informaseq testing and US on Friday! I'm going to ask that they let us pick up our gender results at our appointment on DH's birthday (the 27th) so we can find out on his birthday and start planning our reveal.

4. Rants/raves/questions?
Rant: @KatieEl I agree on the spotting! I had brown and pink (only while wiping) over the weekend and I had to really work at it to not be nervous. I checked the heartbeat a few times and it was good so that helped. Also, body aches in the AM. They suck!
Raves: getting to 10 weeks and starting to feel better!!

5. GTKY: What is a favorite memory from college? Or the college age years (18-22ish)?
Favorite memory? Well I was just a couple of weeks shy of turning 20 when we got married, so probably our wedding and honeymoon!

rupeam12 · June 2017

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

2. How are you feeling? still pretty nauseous most of the time. And tired.

3. Any appointments this week? No, we had our first appt last week. Baby had a HR of 182.

4. Rants/raves/questions? rant: why does it have to be so darned hot??? Rave: we told my DD that she is going to be a big sisterand she is super excited!

5. GTKY: What is a favorite memory from college? Or the college age years (18-22ish)?
Meeting my best friend! We've been through so much together in the last 11.5 years!

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 11 weeks, a Lime

2. How are you feeling?
Starting to feel ok. Still the occasional upset stomach but I haven't thrown up in a week, yay!

3. Any appointments this week?
None this week

4. Rants/raves/questions?
I'm at a loss as to what to do with DD. She throws up ALL the time, like everyday but last Thursday. I have been to her doctor numerous times and they put her back on Pepcid a month ago. It worked for a few weeks and now we are back to throwing up. She has her 1 yr check up next week and I think I'm gonna have to ask for a referral, maybe for a GI specialist. I feel so bad for her and I don't want her to get a negative association with food. Anyone else go through this?

5. GTKY: What is a favorite memory from college? Or the college age years (18-22ish)?
I was raised pretty strict and sheltered. So I kind of went a little crazy during this time period. I can't say I have any one particular memory that stands out more. I met DH at 22 and that changed my life forever ❤❤

ryannenikole · June 2017

@KatieEl I loved Your Best Birth, Babyproofing Your Marriage and When 2 Become 3.

Read all those through 5 1/2 years of IF. Although now that I'm pregnant I have no desire to read anything like that. Mental block maybe? Lol.

@burnsmommy27 Poor thing. That sounds so miserable! Hope you guys get her figured out. Food allergies maybe?

burnsmommy27 · June 2017

@ryannenikole thanks me too. I honestly don't know. I cannot seem to find a correlation to any foods. She has done it with her bottle, with spaghetti and with bread. She has been on sensitive formula since I stopping nursing but has had a throw up problem since 2 months old.

windywoman · June 2017

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
8 weeks. A raspberry.
2. How are you feeling?
Bloated and oh man the heartburn!
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope. Last week.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Rant-still waiting for results from blood tests last week. Still have giant black and blue marks from said blood tests.

5. GTKY: What is a favorite memory from college? Or the college age years (18-22ish)?
That is tough! DH started dating at 18 so I have to say that!

*lurking*

@ryannenikole - cinnamon chips? what is that? sounds interesting (and yummy!)

BSJMM · June 2017

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 7 weeks

2. How are you feeling? so-so. I've been able to combat the nausea in the AM, but nothing sounds good to eat. I am usually 100% paleo, but meat and veggies make me want to gag! Silver lining- no vomiting.....yet.

3. Any appointments this week? Not this week. A week from tomorrow is my first appointment.

4. Rants/raves/questions? Any Paleo mamas out there? What are you able to eat?

5. GTKY: What is a favorite memory from college? Or the college age years (18-22ish)?

Dancing like nobody is watching at the clubs until 2am.

ryannenikole · June 2017

@caseyw8784 you can buy them as pita chips with cinnamon sugar, or make them with tortillas brushed with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and baked. Good either way!

bkbaby18 · June 2017

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 8 weeks, a raspberry

2. How are you feeling? Alternating between nauseous when I don't eat and indigestion when I do. No winning.

3. Any appointments this week? nope, next apt June 30

4. Rants/raves/questions?
Rant - the joys of riding the subway and the smells of NYC on a 95 degree day

bkbaby18 · June 2017

Whoops got cut off. That rant should be concluded with a barf emoji!
Rave - acupuncture worked wonders last week. Hoping to go back again this week.

missblaze · June 2017

@BSJMM I was 100% paleo when I got pregnant with DD and similarly meat and veggies made me gag. All I wanted was dairy and carbs the entire pregnancy! This time around when I got pregnant I wasn't doing paleo 100% but still, meat and veggies are generally a big fat no (except bacon). I'm in survival mode right now and just going with the flow.

auntieraindrop · June 2017

I'm late on this, but my ticker change day was yesterday. Hope I can still play.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 8 weeks, a raspberry

2. How are you feeling? Nauseous. All my stomach likes is clear liquid and potato products, so I'm getting like, no nutritional value!

3. Any appointments this week? No, I had two last week, so not again for a couple weeks more.

4. Rants/raves/questions? Rant - Pregnancy dreams?! Holy crap! Every time I go to sleep, I dream about people dying.... why does my brain murder people? I have barely slept in a week.

Raves - We had our dating scan on Wednesday, and I haven't been able to pry the pictures out of Dad's grubby little hands. He is SO proud.

mslykas · June 2017

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 7 weeks and yesterday at my U/S they said 7mm

2. How are you feeling? Absolutely terrible. This morning sickness/all day sickness thing is no joke....

3. Any appointments this week? I had an ultra sound yesterday. Heard and saw the heartbeat!!!

4. Rants/raves/questions? All I can think about is how terrible I feel....

5. GTKY: What is a favorite memory from college? Or the college age years (18-22ish)? Many of my college memories involve being hungover the next day...which is exactly how I currently feel

I suppose my favorite memory was going to Cancun with my family and my room mate and finding ways to become bartenders almost every night...and watching her makeout with a 40 year old on accident.

beesquar3d · June 2017

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
11 weeks, lime
2. How are you feeling?
Better, still hungry, but better.

No
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I'm home visiting family whom I won't see for another couple of years so we've been sharing our happy news.
5. GTKY: What is a favorite memory from college? Or the college age years (18-22ish)?
The parties, meeting several people that I'm still good friends with, and meeting my now husband.
