hedgepig · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 10 weeks, strawberry or kumquat

2. How are you feeling? Better! I am still getting the occasional bout of nausea or stomach ache, but a lot of the time I basically feel normal. Thanksfully, I enjoy food again and don't have many aversions. My boobs are way big, I have been geting some RLP and the bloat is real by the end of the day.

3. Any appointments coming up? NIPT in a couple of weeks. I had my first U/S last week and the baby was measuring 6 days ahead, which catapulted me forward a whole week developmentally, and changed my EDD, which is why I'm new to the Friday Ticker change.

4. Rants, raves, questions?
Rant: It's super smokey here from a combination of local and far away fires. Add to that a heatwave that's supposed to put us up in the 100s, and you have the makings of a pretty miserable labor day weekend. We don't have AC, so we have to open up the house for the breeze, but then the smoke comes in, so we're pretty much screwed no matter what.
Rave: My brother is coming back from working in Europe all summer, and I'm so excited to tell him our news. *TW* He's the only once we told about our last pregnancy, because he was staying with us, and he was there through the MC, so I thought it was right that we tell him first about it this time. */TW*

5.GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? I don't know if this is my *biggest*, but I teach HS Culinary, and I hate it when people/students don't wash dishes in hot, soapy water, and when people waste food.

sarahkate2233 · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 9 weeks, cherry-sized

2. How are you feeling? Off and on slightly better, but super irritable in the evening.

3. Any appointments coming up? First u/s next Wednesday. I feel like I've been waiting forever!

4. Rants, raves, questions?
Rave that it is festival season! I am so excited to go to the different fall festivals and EAT ALL THE FOOD! I am a little miffed I won't be tasting wines, though.

5.GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve?
@hedgepig 100% agree with the soapy hot water. When MH and I first got together, he wasn't washing the back of dirty plates or the outside of the pans... we almost broke up.

hedgepig · September 2017

@sarahkate2233 Yum, fall festival season! Where abouts do you live that you get all these yummy festivals? What are your favorite treats? Your U/S is coming so soon - just 5 more sleeps!

sarahkate2233 · September 2017

@hedgepig I live in Massachusetts, this weekend is the garlic festival in Vermont! Are there any fall festivals where you live?

hedgepig · September 2017

@sarahkate2233 There are a few, although the good ones are a couple of hours away. You inspired me to check them out!

courtyowl427 · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 8 week, raspberry!

2. How are you feeling? Feeling good, still no m/s or nausea. Was light headed and exhausted yesterday, much better today.

3. Any appointments coming up? Next Thursday, 1st ob appt

4. Rants, raves, questions? Not sure if this is a rant or rave, but it's Sept 1 and I bought a pumpkin spice coffee this morning. It was really good, but I kind of hate myself for it!

5.GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? I can't stand when people don't try and do things for themselves. At work, I send a detailed step by step email about a new process or something that needs to be completed and people jump all over it before even trying. I am more than happy to help if there are questions, but I take a lot of time and care to do things correctly and would appreciate the same effort.

stalkinghorse · September 2017

@hedgepig oh my gosh, the combo of heat and smoke is just brutal. I live in SoCal and this weekend it's going to be over 100's temps. I'll be hiding inside thanks! I bet your brother is going to be so happy to hear your news. Are you guys close?

@sarahkate2233 wait tell me more about these festivals? They sound completely delightful. I'm going to be jealous come a few months when you get fall colors, I love your neck of the woods!

@courtyowl427 I FEEL YOU ON THAT. That is a huge pet peeve for me too. Especially if you bother give step by step instructions. I scratch my head sometimes how some people survive!

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 7 weeks, blueberry!

2. How are you feeling? I was feeling pretty terrific until the last day in Telluride when things went off the rails. I'm vacillating between soul crushing nausea and just plain tired. Secretly I'm happy bc I really didn't have any material symptoms, so I am kind of happy to be feeling gross.

3. Any appointments coming up? a week from next tuesday

4. Rants, raves, questions? Why is it that I could live a normal 36 year old life with no one really bugging me about when we are going to have kids and then I get KU and suddenly everyone wants to know when are we going to have kids, are we trying, have we seen an RE? I'm a terrible liar, and PGAL to boot, so I really do not want to be discussing this with folks I'm not close with...

It's making me wonder if I'm emitting some strange smell or something? Could the truckloads of carbs I've been eating be releasing a new aroma? WTF?

5.GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? Grammar. I'm a little ashamed of how irritated I get when people misuse few and less. Again, not something I like about myself

@hedgepig welcome to Friday!

@courtyowl427 my first appt is Thursday too! I'm so excited/anxious. We're almost there!

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
6 weeks, sweet pea! I call my DS sweet pea so I'm happy to have two sweet peas this week

2. How are you feeling?
Pretty normal lately. A little tired and smaller appetite, but so far that's it.

3. Any appointments coming up?
Yes, 9/7 can't come soon enough! Random fact, 9/7 was my mom's due date with me so I'm taking that as a good sign!

4. Rants, raves, questions?
Nothing major. I got out of work early today and have a few hours before DH and DS get home so I was excited to relax and catch up on Netflix. Well, my internet just went out and I can't get it to reconnect. Boo. So much for mommy's relaxing afternoon.

Oh oh I remembered another one! DS broke a bottle of silver nail polish all over the rug this morning. We just had the carpets shampooed on Wednesday. Sigh.

5.GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve?
Hm. At work it would be people who don't work. You're paid to do a job, so just do it! At home it's my husband's sleepiness. He falls asleep around 8:30 every night literally no matter what is happening.

saisongbird · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 6 weeks - sweet pea
2. How are you feeling? Not great. Symptoms started SO much faster this time around. I'm bloated, have some serious smell aversions, super tired, and from 3-7 (generally) I'm super queasy.

3. Any appointments coming up? U/S to see the heartbeat on 9/7!

4. Rants, raves, questions? Do Unisom
and B6 really help? I'm not actively throwing up but I just feel awful.

5.GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? Ugh, I have a few. People at work who lie to your face is a big one. Hypocrisy.

sarahkate2233 · September 2017

@stalkinghorse They are really just excuses to overeat

The garlic one has all garlic-themed food, garlic ice cream, garlic french fries, garlic cotton candy, plus all the typical fair food. They also have garlic bulbs and various crafts for sale. The next one is a huge agricultural festival with animals and food and crafts. We used to go to wine festivals in Virginia when we lived there in the fall.

@courtyowl427 Right after I saw this, someone did this at work! All of our documents are available on the intranet, but they ask me for them anyway... silly.

sapphires-and-diamonds · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
8 weeks, raspberry!
2. How are you feeling?
Eh. Still so tired and nauseated. Last night and this morning were rough, dry heaving to the point that I hurt my lower back. It hurts to walk now.
3. Any appointments coming up?
10 more days until my 1st appointment.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
I am excited for all the delicious Labor Day food this weekend! I hope my belly cooperates.
5.GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve?
Hmm. Ignorance bothers me, like people who refuse to educate themselves and have all the tools available to do so.

courtyowl427 · September 2017

@Puddlewonderful DH loves going to bed early. I don't mind so much in the winter and now that I'm exhausted during the first tri, but sometimes it gets on my nerves. He's not an old man, he's 35!

Also, I wasn't nervous about the first appt but now that it's close I'm thinking about it a lot more. This pregnancy seems different from my first so far, but that doesn't mean anything. Hope you appt goes well!

mcg920 · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
I'm a day late--whoops! But I was 8 weeks yesterday--size of a raspberry.
2. How are you feeling?
Still really tired and have sore boobs. New this week is constant hunger. Like if I don't eat something every two hours I get intense hunger pain. A handful of pretzels or grapes doesn't cut it--I want substantial things like a baked potato lol.
3. Any appointments coming up?
Only 5 days until that first u/s on 9/7.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Rave-we are out of town for the long weekend and I'm getting to rest and sleep through the night without a dog crawling on me or whining at 6 am because she wants me to go feed her breakfast. I'm also sneaking in naps on the pool chair--it's glorious! Small rant--zinc oxide based sunscreen is gross and impossible to rub in properly so I just walk around with a white film all over me. Oh well

5.GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve?
Interuptions while I'm talking to someone! Unless it's an emergency there is no reason to try and talk to me when I'm clearly talking to someone else! Our nieces do this to their mom and DH and I agree that we will start early teaching our kids to not interrupt unless it's an emergency and how to do so politely.

hedgepig · September 2017

@stalkinghorse Yes! My brother's only 13 months younger than me, so while we didn't always get along very well when we were kids, we're really close now

Muse1182 · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?

6 weeks, sweet pea
2. How are you feeling?
Nauseas after I eat, but ravenously hungry between meals. I haven't gotten sick, just feel gross for an hour after eating. Not too bad.
3. Any appointments coming up?
Not until the 18th. Can't come fast enough!
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Not at the moment.
5.GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve?
When I say how I feel (physically or emotionally) and people either ignore it or worse, argue with me about what I feel. I don't like being treated like a child.

hedgepig · September 2017

@Muse1182 Welcome!

kjsp · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
8w4d, baby is the size of a raspberry

2. How are you feeling?
Nausea ALL DAY LONG! Boobs are sooo sore!
Had a dating U/S at exactly 7wks, baby was measuring 7w3d heart beat was seen so that was exciting.

3. Any appointments coming up?
SEPT 11th first Midwife appointment, I'm assuming that's when they will do all the prenatal blood work, pap and schedule 12 wk scan.

4. Rants, raves, questions?
So far I'm down about 8lbs but I haven't thrown up just can't eat anything because of the nausea all day, anyone else experiencing this? Do you think it's possible to conceal this from my employer until I'm 20wks?

5.GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve?
Right now my biggest pet peeve is my boss, can't wait to start my maternity leave so happy we get 1.5 yrs off here in Canada!!!!!!!!
