1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
10 weeks! I have myself a little strawberry

2. How are you feeling? Better than last week. Nausea is fading a bit, and I now have evenings where I don't feel dead occasionally.

3. Any appointments coming up? Not until the 27th

4. Rants, raves, questions? Newp

5. GTKY: what's the one (or two) trendy baby name(s) that you can't stand? I can't stand misspelling a person's name to make them "special" (please note that I am not talking about unique names via tradition, such as African American naming tradition). There are tons of acceptable variations in spelling to start with, so there is no need for butchery. Secondly, your child isn't special because of a name. Thirdly, it makes them look illiterate for the rest of their lives. When I was last pregnant, it was all the rage to shove as many Xs into a name as humanly possible, and it made me cringe for the children.

TGIT!!

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
12 weeks today! Feel like I hit a milestone. Baby is plum-sized which is especially adorable.

2. How are you feeling?
So much better. Still exhausted AF and looking seriously pregnant. Rocking that blump and my ginormous boobs.

3. Any appointments coming up?
Our NT scan is the next one... happening 9/22. I am beyond anxious about it.

4. Rants, raves, questions?
Just impatiently waiting to be out of this in-between period of being bloated and slightly too chubby for my regular clothes, and needing full-on maternity. It's annoying!

5. GTKY: what's the one (or two) trendy baby name(s) that you can't stand?
anything that sounds like Aiden (Brayden, Jayden, etc) and anything spelled ridiculously with unnecessary Ys or double Es. Sorry bout it.

first post alert!

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
8. The size of a kidney bean or a raspberry.

2. How are you feeling?
Uhhh not the best. Just constantly nauseous. Absolutely exhausted but that could be from trying to crate train a puppy

3. Any appointments coming up?
First ob appointment coming up on Tuesday! I am so excited and nervous at the same time.

4. Rants, raves, questions?
shout out to my growing cup of noodles obsession. They are the only things that appeal to me right now. Sweet nectar of the gods.

5. GTKY: what's the one (or two) trendy baby name(s) that you can't stand?
ahhh that's tough! I would probably say anything with a superfluous y or x. Or!! Adding a y or an x to a name to denote the babies sex.

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 11 weeks (unless OB changes my EDD tomorrow). Fig, Brussels sprout, key lime, poker chip.

2. How are you feeling? Still dealing with pizza face, having less nausea, but headaches are more common now. Last night I had ALL THE GAS - I felt like a deflating balloon. The good news is that the deflation has me feeling MUCH less bloated today, which also means that I think I can finally feel my uterus (please correct me if I'm being dumb). If I'm correct, it's a nice firm spot really low in my pelvis, which is super cool. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

3. Any appointments coming up? First OB appointment tomorrow!

4. Rants, raves, questions? I guess I can rave about being tall and having a long torso because it means that my normal clothes still fit just fine. I'm eager to have a bump, but I'm also happy if I can save money on maternity clothes for now.

5. GTKY: what's the one (or two) trendy baby name(s) that you can't stand? Pet peeve name: Neveah. Yeah, I get it, it's "heaven" spelled backwards which is the stupidest thing ever. I automatically judge anyone who names their kid that. I also agree that unique and speshul spelling of names is the actual worst.

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

10 weeks, strawberry

2. How are you feeling?
Yesterday was a rough day but today is much better. Overall still feeling always exhausted but other than that, nothing is too extreme.

3. Any appointments coming up?
Had my last appointment with my RE today and it was super surreal. I have been there for two years and I am so grateful for their help and guidance but I'm so happy to be done there too!!
We had another u/s and Baby Boy is growing! So amazing to see him and the development each week.

4. Rants, raves, questions?

5. GTKY: what's the one (or two) trendy baby name(s) that you can't stand?
I have been a teacher for 13 years and the names of the kids who are naughty are the ones that get ruined for me.

@lund thanks lady! Hope everyone is on the upswing soon - the end of 1st tri is in sight!

@fernde BUT WHAT KIND OF PUPPY AND WHAT DID YOU NAME IT!?!

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

2. How are you feeling?
Well I missed the ticker change by a few days because Thursday I was violently ill. I am on the upswing though.

3. Any appointments coming up?
Next one is Oct. 5.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
I switched to gummy vitamins and can't say enough how much it has helped my nausea. I saw the suggestion in another thread. I still get a little queasy but haven't had any vomitting.

5. GTKY: what's the one (or two) trendy baby name(s) that you can't stand?

I am in the same boat as @frenchiekinplusone Aiden and any sound alikes. It's not that I just hate the names, I actually liked them before. However, I feel there was a huge BOOM in popularity for these names and now every other boy (and sometimes girls) have a similar sounding name. I want something more original, but not too off the wall.
