I mainly started this because I got a good chuckle out of the TTGP check-in in July. There they go again... Not that I mind when people pop in when they want to chime in but I think that person is kind of missing the point.
How far along are you? Weeks/Days? How big is baby? 7+3 baby is the size of a playing die. BTW does anyone remember their weeks/days every day? I know I'm 7 weeks but I always forget the day and I have to look at my app
How are you feeling? good. Getting some afternoon/evening nausea which is actually kind of nice and reassuring even though it sucks. I have been wanting all things salty, vinegary and cheesy.
Rants/Raves? Rave-its Thursday and I am so excited for my friends wedding this weekend. Rant-it will be hard to hide if from my friends at the wedding but I don't want to tell them yet mainly because I don't want to make her day about me.
GTKU: How pregnant are you? I am bawling, like literally sobbing, while watching This Is Us pregnant.

How far along are you? Weeks/Days? How big is baby? 9+5, tatertot
How are you feeling? Just getting over this flu, otherwise fine
Rants/Raves? A friend is coming into town tonight so we’re all getting dinner at a tapas restaurant. I’m sort of annoyed because the group decided on it and made reservations before DH or I could chime in. We’re vegetarian and have been vegetarian for years, like, they know this. And literally on this menu we can only eat potatoes and olives. And they know I’m pregnant so they know I can’t drink, which is the most fun part of tapas. And some tapas restaurants have more veg options so wtf let’s go there! So now I have to eat before dinner, and they’ll still probably want to split the bill so we’ll end up paying like $80 for some olives and potatoes. I’m already annoyed.
GTKU: How pregnant are you? (for example: I am chopping up pickles and putting them in pasta salad pregnant) i feel like 5% pregnant. I think most things pregnancy related (being tired, boobs fluctuations, irritability, food indecision, panic hunger, temperature regulation issues, etc) that I experience I also have when not pregnant so it’s like, I don’t know, I guess more extreme?
How far along are you? Weeks/Days? How big is baby? 6w6d; baby is currently the size of a sweet pea (boring), chocolate chip, rainbow sprinkle, or battleship peg. But tomorrow, it'll magically be the size of a tic tac, dose of viagra (nice!), blueberry, or skittle.
How are you feeling? Pretty good. All the same issues as normal.
Rants/Raves? Irritability is a major B.
GTKY: How pregnant are you? I want mustard on lay's potato chips. I could literally eat nothing but chicken wing dip all day and be happy.
@krashke - I think they were also the one who posted that they weren't on TTGP at all. Why would you be checking in on a thread for members of a board you were never on for even a hot minute? Wut? I usually count back/forward from my weeks, because I know my week change is on Fridays, lol. Have fun at the wedding!
@doxiemoxie212 - I'd say split the bill so you're only paying for what you ordered. It's not fair to you that they chose the restaurant, knowing you wouldn't be able to eat pretty much anything there, or drink, and then they'd want you to pay an even portion of the bill? Heck no.
@krashke - I'm a few episodes behind on this is us, but I cry EVERY.TIME. I watch it.
@doxiemoxie212 -a tatertot! That's the cutest thing ever! It's so crazy to think my sweet pea will be that size in just a couple weeks. Sorry about the tapas. You can't drink... at least go somewhere you can be a foodie at. Bummer.
How far along are you? Weeks/Days? How big is baby? 6+2
How are you feeling? I feel good.
Rants/Raves? Rant: I have a fave pair of boots I haven't been able to find. They are so soft and so comfortable. I can wear them with anything. I know they won't turn up until we move and unpack. I found a pair that compares to them at Target - except they were in the children's section which just fueled the anger when I realized. Rave: We going to another Seahawks game this weekend. I'm going to go to as many as I can this season.
GTKU: How pregnant are you? (for example: I am chopping up pickles and putting them in pasta salad pregnant) I barely feel pregnant. I'm peeing a lot but also drinking a ton of water. Sometimes I'm out of breath but other then that I wouldn't even know I was preggo if the test didn't say I was. My DH would probably chime in on pregnancy brain though. I'm the ditziest version of myself right now.
@krashke Sorry I butted it and demanded everyone go look at July when you had clearly already posted it! I was just doing a drive by and didn't read thoroughly. Also, I have to look up my days on Ovia every time.
@doxiemoxie212 That is so annoying - I'm sorry! I feel like I always just show up late to stuff like that because I'm annoyed.
@izza2 Now I'm planning to have potato chips with mustard for lunch. That sounds soooo good.
@galactickates Do you remember the brand of rain boots? I'm so over my Hunter boots. They're so stiff and uncomfortable and give me shin splints.
AFM..
How far along are you? Weeks/Days? How big is baby? I'm 6 weeks 5 days and baby is the size of a coffee bean!
How are you feeling? I feel pretty much normal, except I'm doing this weird sneeze/nausea thing that I posted about in symptoms thread. Not cool.
Rants/Raves? I'm going in for my second ultrasound today at 1:00!! Sooo excited and nervous! I'm crossing all my fingers and toes. However, MH is not going with me because his flu-like symptoms majorly escalated overnight (it was not fun in our house around midnight, but I guess it is training for an infant?).
GTKU: How pregnant are you? (for example: I am chopping up pickles and putting them in pasta salad pregnant) I don't really feel pregnant. I did have cereal for dinner last night, though!
@krashke, yeah what's up with that question? She had to know the answer was no, right? And +1 to sobbing over This Is Us
@doxiemoxie212, ugh that's so annoying about the dinner decision. Fwiw, I went to a tapas place last week that my BFF picked out, and I could only order the vegetarian option (a squash gnocchi that was really pretty good, but had approximately 4 pieces of gnocchi) or bread.
@galactickates, hope your boots turn up. I would have been able to fit into the kids boots though, lol. +1 for tiny feet.
How far along are you? Weeks/Days? How big is baby? 6+6 (rounding up to a blueberry)
How are you feeling? Not great, but I'll welcome the symptoms anyways
Rants/Raves? I tried out the hair tie trick on my jeans yesterday for the first time. Amazing.
GTKU: well, I puked for the first time this morning (not counting a previous puking in my mouth incident when picking up my dog's poop), so I'm up there. I don't think I'll feel pregnant pregnant until I start to pop and feel some movement.
Me: 30 | DH: 31 Met: August 2006 Married: July 2012 TTC #1 since June 2016
@LaceyBee522 - no I have no idea what brand. I tried finding something similar on Amazon but no luck. I got them at tJ maxx so they could be anything. They are the ones in the picture in the spoiler
If anyone has a lead on boots similar l would love it! I just love them because they are soft and flat. It's like wearing a pair of blanket slippers boots. (Just made that up) I'm about ready to offer my DH a reward for finding them.
How far along are you? Weeks/Days? How big is baby? 10 wks today. little lego man
How are you feeling? mostly ok. some bad tastes after eating. and I just don't feel 100% come evening.
Rants/Raves? this is probably a bad rant. we're suppose to celebrate DS's bday this sunday with the inlaws. his bday was a month ago... so I'm just over the bday celebrations and don't really wanna. mom of the year here.
GTKU: How pregnant are you? (for example: I am chopping up pickles and putting them in pasta salad pregnant) I'm at a want to go buy all the maternity leggings level. mine are starting to get alittle tight.
@krashke With my first I knew exactly what day I was everyday, but with this one, I only remember the week. Also, the July TTGP check-in was pretty good. July is really coming out with a bang, eh? @doxiemoxie212 That really sucks about going for dinner with your friends, you'd think they would ask you if you were ok with going for tapas before making the reservation. @izza2 I used to eat mustard on potato chips too! @galactickates Have fun at seahawks game this weekend! Also, super cute boots! @LaceyBee522 I hope you have a great ultrasound!! I hope YH feels better soon! @icecubeinthedesert The hair tie trick is amazing, and lasted for about a week before I broke down and pulled out the maternity pants. @catlady2015 I'm all for the maternity and fully support you in purchasing new leggins.
How far along are you? Weeks/Days? How big is baby? 6w4d - Gummy bear is the size of a chocolate chip
How are you feeling? Good, just tired and major bloating (I can no longer wear my normal pants, so maternity pants ftw!)
Rants/Raves? Rant: I wish I had a few more symptoms right now, but I don't so my PGAL brain is freaking out. Rave: I have an ultrasound next Tuesday, and I'm really hoping we will be able to see a heartbeat.
GTKU: How pregnant are you? (for example: I am chopping up pickles and putting them in pasta salad pregnant) Other than going to bed at 9:30pm and needing a mini caffeine pick-up in the afternoon, I don't feel that pregnant. Last time it didn't feel real until we saw DD at the NT scan because I had very few symptoms (exhaustion and an aversion to rosemary).
I'm literally so angry that I got a second warning for nothing, that I sent an angry message to the BG's and then emailed two of their contact emails as well.
@izza2 legit don’t understand the warnings yesterday. Like wtf? I feel like there’s a new admin who doesn’t understand the rules or like how to pin posts.
@izza2 Wth were you warned for?! You were so polite & kind to the newb in the TTGP thread in July. Is that what it was for?
How far along are you? Weeks/Days? How big is baby? 7 weeks +2 Baby is a blueberry I think? I need to just stick to one app...
How are you feeling? Pretty good, still fighting off this never ending cold. Going on two weeks with this thing! All I'm taking is Vitamin C for it.
Rants/Raves? I'm not sleeping so great. I know it's small in comparison to all the symptoms I could be having, but it stinks waking up not feeling refreshed at all. I crash around 3pm daily. On the positive side, my anxiety has lessened immensely about this pregnancy so I'm trying to just hold on to that with all I've got!
GTKU: How pregnant are you? I could sleep, and sleep and sleeeeeep for 40+ hours and still be exhausted.
@TravelingCouple - First warning was for saying it was bloat, not a bump, and then pointing out that I thought she wasn't participating on a BMB after her BFP, per her post in TTGP. The second warning was for laughing at the fact that she/others reported every comment that wasn't someone going crazy happy over bloat pictures and I called them sensitive snowflakes, so I guess that's a horrible thing to do... Much worse than making fun/a mockery of someone's career choice, like a newb did. *eye roll*
@izza2 That entire HDBD is so dumb. I'm legit irritated on your behalf and anyone else who got warned. Why do the mods have so much time to warn/ban, but can't sticky one GD thread??
@TravelingCouple So glad to hear your anxiety has lessened! Also, I've been super tired. I haven't really counted it as a symptom because work has been crazy, but I guess it actually is. I went to bed at like 7:30 the other night!
@ChloandCoco Gummy bear (so cute!) and chocolate chip in your post is making me crave candy asap!
@catlady1215 Thanks! And, I'm with you: A month of birthday celebrations is A LOT!
@icecubeinthedesert OMG, the hair tie trick? Don't we need a HDBD thread, then?! /s
Thanks gals for the GLs today. It is officially twins, now! I am excited and also terrified of what that means. I got to see Baby A and Baby B's heartbeats and (for now) everything is normal. So...that's a thing that's happening.
Okay seriously, who wants to take bets how long it takes for one of us to get banned? I feel like TB gods are reaaaaaally using this "unwelcoming tone" thing liberally.
@galactickates I'm sort of freaking out right now. We've been calling them "they" and referring to them as plural since my first early US two weeks ago where the doc saw two yolk sacs, but I don't think either of us really believed it - it was so early. I thought I would be more excited than I am because the doctor did go over all the risks/complications associated with twins and it was like a bucket of cold water. I think in a day or two, I'll be more excited/freaking out.
@krashke Yes, first - like, let's really knock this out of the park first time around, right? WTH??
@LaceyBee522 How exciting! But I totally understand feeling all the things. I'd need processing time too! @doxiemoxie212 Your bunny is so cute too! They are totally eating the same meal, haha.
