Your "ticker change day" is the day you switch over to being another full week pregnant (ie: 5 weeks instead of 4 weeks and 6 days).
If your EDD is 5/2, 5/9, 5/16, 5/23, or 5/30, this is for you!

2. How are you feeling?
3. Any appointments coming up?

5. GTKY: If you could only eat one specific candy for the rest of your life, what would you pick?

Re: Wednesday Ticker Change 9/27

1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
8 weeks, I think I've seen green olives, raspberries, peanut m&m
2. How are you feeling?
Still pretty shitty. The nausea is still there, but it seems to be getting slightly better (fingers crossed). I have bad days and not as bad days, last night was definitely a bad night.
3. Any appointments coming up?
Monday, I can't wait. I'm planning on taking my girls with me, which I might regret later, but I really hope they get to hear the heartbeat. And I'm so anxious to find out if they'll do an US for me, if only to keep me from murdering the next person who says to me, "OMG, what if it's twins again!?!"
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Rave- I'm leaving for MH's cousin's bachelorette party on Friday, and I'm really excited. I also ordered another possible dress for Churchill Downs and some ginger chews online and I should get them today. Rant- I'm really hoping I can get this nausea under control by this weekend because otherwise I'm going to be miserable the whole time, and I don't want to be a downer for her special weekend.
5. GTKY: Hershey's with almonds

BFP Aug 2017- EDD 5/8/17
1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
9 weeks (but I measured 2 days ahead last US so who knows what my EDD will be)
2. How are you feeling?
Fabulous. Morning sickness faded to just random shittyness throuhout the day instead of constand and even then it's just kind of an overall blah feeling. I bought the sonolineB home doppler and found the HB last night!!! 170s. So relieved but I promised DH I wouldn't go crazy with the doppler even though I want to strap it to myself and wear it like a belt!
3. Any appointments coming up?
Monday dating scan.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Loving this Indian Summer in CT. It's been in the 80s everyday this week.
5. GTKY: If you could only eat one specific candy for the rest of your life, what would you pick?
Definitely watermelon sour patch kids....no contest.
1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
7 weeks! Yay! I think the size of a blueberry. FTM and I'm keeping track daily
2. How are you feeling?
A little like having the flu everyday-exhausted, bleary, and pregnancy brain kicking in like crazy. I can't even count the number of things I've misplaced in the last week! Only touches of nausea here and there but so many food aversions it's hard to find something I'm willing to eat. Poor hubby has gone to the store every night to get what we need and even let us go to McDonalds last night for dinner. I got a happy meal with chicken nuggets and I have 0 regrets. It was amazing.
3. Any appointments coming up?
Just had a confirmation of pregnancy (and got approved for my allergy meds! Thank goodness!) and have my first US Friday of next week. I'm so nervous and want to get a doppler but know I'd freak out if I couldn't find the heartbeat.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Rant: My chest has grown at least two cup sizes. I just bought new bras in June and I'm super mad about it. They no longer cover anything they're supposed to cover.
Rave: Strolled through the baby section at Target. Can't believe how cute these little baby clothes can be!
5. GTKY: If you could only eat one specific candy for the rest of your life, what would you pick? @justsuzie the sour patch kids are great but who knew sweet tarts (what I keep on hand to pass out to my students) could help the nausea so much!

@justsuzie I'm glad you found the HB! woohoo!
@allie0320 I did that at target last week too...
1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
9 weeks! Lug nut!
2. How are you feeling?
Still pretty nauseous but I am getting an occasional day of relief or or there. I'm not mad about it. My ute has been feeling super sore this week too. Grow baby grow!
3. Any appointments coming up?
Not until 10/11
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Rave: I'm going to Michael's later. Love me some Michael's. No rants today!
5. GTKY: If you could only eat one specific candy for the rest of your life, what would you pick?
This is tough for me. Probably Reese's.
6 weeks, small blueberry or popping firecracker.
2. How are you feeling?
Tired all the time. Somewhat worried bc I'm not that nauseated. Which is silly bc everyone's different. And with my DS I didn't get nauseated until like 10 weeks and only then felt it only when I was sedentary, not at work or on the go. It just worries me bc I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks the 1st time around, so I know the sicker you feel the healthier baby is. Patiently waiting..oh and I'm a physician so I fully know there's not much to see on transabdominal ultrasound bc baby's so small. But has that kept me from looking 3 times already? Nope. All I see is a gestational sac and I know that's normal right now. But until i can see the fetal pole or cardiac activity I'm not gonna have any peace of mind. So maybe not patiently waiting... lol
3. Any appointments coming up?
Just a nurse appt 10/3.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I'm so tired of all the idiotic statements on facebook. I think I'm gonna take a break from it. Easier said than done.
5. GTKY: If you could only eat one specific candy for the rest of your life, what would you pick?
Haribo gummybears for sure!
8 wks, pygmy sea horse!
2. How are you feeling?
Shitty so tired and nauseous
3. Any appointments coming up?
10/2
4. Rants/raves/questions?
No just want some relief soon
5. GTKY: If you could only eat one specific candy for the rest of your life, what would you pick?
Probably snickers...
2. How are you feeling? Tired, yet can't sleep. Boobs are sore. And the nausea hit on Monday. Luckily I have quite a few midwife friends, and there recommendations of crackers before getting out of bed, followed by Zantac and either ginger ale or ginger tea, I have been able to power through work the last few days.
3. Any appointments coming up? Monday is my 1st appointment with a nurse to do history and blood/urine tests. Have to wait until Oct 17th for my first ultrasound to get the OB I wanted ... I am however planning on taking a Doppler home from work over the weekend to try and hear the heartbeat
4. Rants/raves/questions? Rant - I'm mostly at the point I just want to tell everyone, but know it's too early
5. GTKY: If you could only eat one specific candy for the rest of your life, what would you pick? Candy corn. Specifically the pumpkins. Hells yes.
And we are due date buddies! AND I also feel nervous as my nausea isn't as present this week as it was last week.
2. Feeling okay this week which, if course, makes me paranoid as a PGAL. I still have some nausea here and there but I feel less bitchy and bloated. I'm out if town so no follow ups for another week and a half. Just hoping this is still my rainbow.
3. Nurse call next week.. hate those things. Then a f/u on 10/11 with my RE. Hopefully seeing my OB sometimes soon, too so we can get AMA pre-auth genetic paperwork started. I'll schedule that during the nurse call.
4. No questions for now. Just biding my time until I can feel "safe this one is viable.
5. Toffifay. I can inhale those suckers like nothing. And happy hippo candy from Germany. Omg.
2. I feel pretty crappy in the evenings. Which is better than last week when I was feeling crappy in the afternoon and evening. And the bloat is uncomfortable, I don't remember it being this bad with my son.
3. I have my first appt with my obgyn next week
4. Raves - 1 more week of these progesterone suppositories! Can't wait to be done with these sloppy things!
@justsuzie I am kinda jealous you found the hb with your Doppler! I have yet to be successful but I know it's early. I like to torture myself
5. Before this pregnancy I would have said skittles, but now I don't find them very satisfying. So I'll go with sweet tarts.
6 weeks. Size of a sweet pea.
2. How are you feeling?
Feel like someone kicked me in the upper stomach that won't go away.
3. Any appointments coming up?
First OBGYN appt Friday afternoon.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
None at the moment.

@ecasey17 blasphemy! Candy corn is almost the worst candy ever. As long as circus peanuts exist, they will only take a close second, though. LOL
@allie0320 I can't believe how much my boobs have rounded out already, and I'm already rather large chested to begin with. The night I took an internet cheapie test and MH didn't *quite* believe it was positive, I later walked past him to use the bathroom *TMI with no shirt or bra on, cuz I sleep au naturale* and he told me the next day that he thought to himself, Oh yeah, she's totally pregnant. Her boobs look huge.
@rachelg777 I love Michael's, too, but I'm much more partial to Joann. I like to sew, and I don't know if Michael's even sells fabric. If they do, it's not much, so I usually just skip Michael's. My MIL sent me pictures of glass ornament ideas where you cut your wedding invitation up into strips and put it into the ornament so the details show-the date, time, name of the church, etc. And I've also seen ones where people use a birth announcement (or just type the date, time, weight, length, etc. of the baby on a piece of paper) and then include the baby bracelets, or pieces of the blanket they came home in, or other cute things.
@klynneculpsmith I used to work in an ER, and we used the ultrasound machine on pregnant staff ALL the time. MH used to call them "back alley ultrasounds". It's how I found out I was having twins, so imagine how that phone call went with my OB the next morning. "Um, hi. Yeah, I'm pregnant, and I have an appointment on {whatever day}, and I'm just calling to let you guys know I'm having twins." :: Long silence from the receptionist:: "Ummmmm, ok. I'll give the doctor the message and have them call you back....." And this all happened after I made a similar call a few months prior. *TW miscarriage*
"Ummmm hi. I'm pregnant, and have an appointment on {whatever day}. Well, I did an ultrasound at work and I have a blighted ovum." ::Long silence from receptionist:: "Ummmmmmm, ok? I'll give the doctor the message and have them call you back...."
*end TW*
It's going to be so hard for me this time to not have access to the back alley ultrasounds anymore!!! Some of my friends work in other ERs now and I'm really tempted to stop in sometime if my midwives won't agree to an US before the anatomy scan.

@sandbar517 Nursery....with white furniture and I think a gray fluffy rug. I know it;s so early to start planning it but the school year will get crazy in a couple months. I just want to get the room painted and wallpaper up before it get's too cold. Wanna leave the windows open to vent out the smell. I hate the smell of paint. I hate ultrasounds and try to not have them. I just get too anxious. Hearing the heart is all I need for now.
9 weeks, ticker day is thursdays. Baby looked like a scorpion but as big as a strawberry!
2. How are you feeling?
last pregnancy I had hyperemesis gravidarum so this is a breast with light nausea
