How far along are you? 4w1d
How are things going? Things are going well I guess? It's slowly but surely sinking in that our lives may be about to change in a very big way. For whatever reason, my actually being "late" as of yesterday seems to have convinced DH that this is happening moreso than the million Wondfos and a digital all showing BFPs.
Appointments upcoming/recent? I have an OB appointment on Thursday that I had scheduled as a preconception follow up. I am excited to be like "so, surprise... and now I have a million questions."
Rants/Raves/Questions? None at the moment.
GTKY: What have you been overly emotional about lately? Other than the closet incident I mentioned in another post (DH put my clothes away as a "favor" but did literally the worst job imaginable,and I broke down in tears in my closet when I couldn't find anything to wear to work),I haven't been overly emotional yet.

Re: FTM Check In 12/5
How are things going? Things are good. I'm shocked at how many symptoms I've had so early. Cutting out my 8 cups of coffee a day has been the toughest part so far, along with the fatigue. I've been limiting myself to a couple of sips of caffeinated coffee each day.
Appointments upcoming/recent? I have an introductory appt scheduled with two different OBGYNs. One is the 14th, and the other on the 22nd. I'll have to decide which one to keep.
Rants/Raves/Questions? My boobs are growing too fast! I already had to buy a new bra yesterday. I'm mostly just very anxious about loss at this point.
GTKY: What have you been overly emotional about lately? I am not typically a very emotional person, and my overriding emotion so far has been concern. I'm usually pretty laid back, but I've been having pregnancy related anxiety since I found out last week. I got weirdly emotional six years ago when I had my IUD removed, so I can certainly imagine that I'll have that happen again, and far more so with the pregnancy, but it hasn't happened yet.

@legallykate sorry about the closet incident- but it is pretty funny
@ncnole26 I may or may not also be POAS every day to watch the line get darker. I had ordered an insane number of Wondfos so why not, but DH thinks I am crazy

How are things going? They’re going. It’s strange because I’ve spent so long TTC (since 8/2016) that I’ve gotten to the point I would disregard any symptoms. “No, I’m not pregnant I just ate too much” “No, I’m not pregnant I just didn’t sleep well last night.” Now I have to turn that completely on it’s head and I think I’m disregarding symptoms, then feeling anxious that I’m not having as many symptoms as I “should.” PGAL is a mind****
Appointments upcoming/recent? Tomorrow, thank goodness! Going into my RE for an early ultrasound. Hoping to see at least a nice healthy yolk and fetal pole. I’d be pretty stoked if there’s a heartbeat too!
Rants/Raves/Questions? My appetite has been strange. My stomach hasn’t been hungry, but my mouth wants to eat everything. They are locked in a Cold War.
GTKY: What have you been overly emotional about lately? Haven’t noticed lots of mood changes yet. I did cry listening to Christmas Carols last week.

How are things going? .....Fine? this is my first pregnancy so I have no idea what to expect. I'm excited/anxious/worried
Appointments upcoming/recent? 12/18! I think it's just a conversation with the OB, a confirmation, and some general dos and don'ts. I don't expect any kind of ultrasound of anything- but it would be nice. I will just be happy for her to say, "yes, you actually are pregnant". It still doesn't feel real.
Rants/Raves/Questions? So many questions! Also, nobody knows but my husband (DH, i know i have to get with it with the acronyms) and I am DYYYING to tell! My best friend is due in march and it's taking everything I have not to tell her and my mom!
GTKY: What have you been overly emotional about lately? lol..... When I found out on Sunday, my husband was super sick and was struggling to show his excitement because he was miserable. I had a fit because I thought he was disappointed even thought we've been trying for a few months. He's fine now and thrilled with the news, I was just struggling to process everything.
