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

10 weeks!!! The size of a kumquat.

2. How are you feeling?

Really good actually. I just get really hungry sometimes.

3. Any appointments this week?

Monday I'm supposed to get a blood test for chromosomal issues. Need to find out how much it'll cost though before I get it done.

4. Rants/raves/questions?

I'm feeling so much better and bought my first pair of maternity pants!!

5. GTKY: Where is your favorite place that you've traveled?

I'd have to say Canada! We went to a couple different places, but Halifax was my favorite. It was just such a beautiful place.

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

I can't decide if I conceived on Saturday or Sunday. I mean the act took place on Saturday night and I had ovulation pain when I went to bed. But all this time I was thinking conception occurred on Sunday. What would you gals think? Anyway, made it to 10 weeks!

2. How are you feeling?

Still feeling run down and naseau gets tough at night but I'm maybe noticing my MS is relaxing just a bit. I'm hoping! I was sick forever with my las two, especially the second!

3. Any appointments this week?

Nope

4. Rants/raves/questions?

I will rave if my MS is actually easing up! In the past I was sick until 16-18 weeks. I think we are going to break the news to some family tonight.

5. GTKY: Where is your favorite place that you've traveled?

Puerto Rico for the honeymoon. It was the best trip! Honorable mention to Belize, San Pedro as well. I was super broke when I went there which makes a difference in travel quality.

I'm dying to know what Im having!! I feel like I can't plan for anything until I know for sure

5. GTKY: Where is your favorite place that you've traveled?
Kauai, Hawaii...hands down. Spent 2 weeks on our honeymoon, 10 years ago, and it was amazing!

missblaze · June 2017

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

8 weeks, it's the size of a raspberry!

2. How are you feeling?

My nausea is so much worse than my first pregnancy. I feel like I need to constantly eat but then when I eat a bit I feel overfull and gassy. I'm also so tired at the end of the day.

3. Any appointments this week?

My first OB appointment is on Friday! I feel like I've been waiting forever. My last OB is on vacation so it is with another OB in the practice who I have been dying to meet because she is kind of locally-famous and supposed to have a great bedside manner.

4. Rants/raves/questions?

I feel like this pregnancy is making my lactose intolerance worse? Like usually I am OK to eat hard cheeses like cheddar but right now they are making me so ill!

5. GTKY: Where is your favorite place that you've traveled?

Hmm, I will say Stockholm - beautiful city with lots to do and very friendly people. But everywhere I've visited has been great!

trudytudy · June 2017

@PAengineer06 yes on the constant eating = full and gassy! Ugh. I know it! Also I had a pretty good case of lactose intolerance from age 14 until I had my first child at 30. I tried milk when I started buying it when he turned 1 and low and behold I was cured. I mentioned to my son's ped and he said "I guess your body decided it needed the calcium". Maybe you will wind up with similar reprieve.

PAengineer06 · June 2017

@trudytudy that would be amazing! Ha, I will have to try a glass of milk after the birth.

smaeyoung · June 2017

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
10 Weeks 2 Days/ Size of a Lego Man figurine

2. How are you feeling?
Today has actually not been a horrible day! I have a thyroid disease that has caused weight and health nightmares since I was in HS so I am super sensitive emotionally to weight gain. SO, the last few weeks have been tough on me mentally! The food aversions, having to eat whatever just randomly sounds good at the moment, the smells, the nausea and puking ALL day, and the inability to work out due to feeling just so horrible has brought me down A LOT. Then, I start to feel bad that I am so self-conscious about it and then it's just a hot mess from there! OY!

3. Any appointments this week?
Yes! Thursday I go in for a check-in with my OB.

4. Rants/raves/questions?
Raves--finally feeling good enough to work out today, meal prep in the kitchen, and get myself in a better mental state!

5. GTKY: Where is your favorite place that you've traveled?
My husband and I went to Italy for 2 weeks on our honeymoon two years ago, and it was AWESOME!! It is so beautiful there.

deutschbaby · June 2017

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
10w/strawberry

2. How are you feeling?
Still so so pukey and nauseous. And exhausted all the time.

3. Any appointments this week?
Nope, although I go in for my NIPT blood draw on Monday (10w2d)

4. Rants/raves/questions?
Just that I haaaaaaate the first trimester. This is my 3rd pregnancy and my 2nd one with hyperemesis. It sucks.

5. GTKY: Where is your favorite place that you've traveled?
Cape Town, South Africa. Seriously so, so beautiful.

smaeyoung · June 2017

I am glad to hear from a lot of my mom friends that the 2nd trimester gets better because not feeling well ALL THE TIME is for the birds LOL!

trudytudy · June 2017

@deutschbaby so sorry you are dealing with hyperemesis. I'm sure it's brutal. What made you choose Africa? Sounds amazing! I would love to go there someday!

I got lucky LOL. I was in grad school and the annual conference where I presented my research moved to a different country each year. That year it was in South Africa. It was amazingly beautiful. I only wish I had more time to enjoy it than the 2 days before the conference. The following year the conference was in Naples, Italy. Which was a much less beautiful, dirty, and kinda seedy Italian city. But... I met and fell in love with my (German) husband that week at the conference, so I guess Naples wasn't all that bad

karacc18 · June 2017

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 10! Size of a strawberry/prune (i'm 2 days late posting because i forget to post on the weekends)

2. How are you feeling? kinda crappy still... had a massive headache all day yesterday, and woke up with a sore throat. Still tired alot of the time, but the nausea is slowly going away.

3. Any appointments this week? nope

4. Rants/raves/questions? stopped my progesterone suppositories on Saturday, right at 10 weeks as instructed. Still super nervous about it, but happy not to have to use them anymore.

5. GTKY: Where is your favorite place that you've traveled? Hawaii or Paris for sure!!

bainidhedub · June 2017

I didn't make it onto the computer over the weekend either..

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
10 weeks - size of a prune apparently

2. How are you feeling?
Vaguely queasy and stomach-achey every time I eat anything no matter how reasonable. Still tired and don't really want to be touched.

3. Any appointments this week?
I had a quick appointment this morning, she just listened with the doppler and sent me on my way. Which was great bc it gave me like 2 hours before my dentist appointment, which went pretty well considering my teeth suck (I have to go back Friday for a filling).

4. Rants/raves/questions?
My OB's office did an insurance benefits verification and most of it makes absolutely no sense. I even called my insurance company to check. They haven't been collecting any office visit copays, which I am supposed to owe up to a 5 visit limit, and they are asking me for a $300 deposit towards delivery by week 27. My deductible is $500 and resets on New Years so I really have no idea how they intend this to work. Plus I'm waiting for a flood of lab bills to show up any day now, which always annoy me for no particularly good reason.

5. GTKY: Where is your favorite place that you've traveled?
I went to France in high school but actually it wasn't a great experience, I'd love to go back and enjoy it as an adult.
