1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
2. How are you feeling?
3. Any appointments this week?
4. Rants/raves/questions?
5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing?

Re: Monday Ticker Change 3/12
2. How are you feeling? All the nausea. It's been coming in waves so some days are worse than others but today is awful. I'm just sitting at my desk hoping I can make it to the bathroom next time it comes up.
3. Any appointments this week? YES! 1st Ultrasound on wednesday...I'm nervous/excited
4. Rants/raves/questions? No questions this week but boy do I love Mexican food.
5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing? I'd be singing. There are moments when I miss being on stage, or moments I wish I had pursued being a worship leader full time as a profession but I wouldn't have met DH, and I really really love my job. It's the dream job I never knew I wanted, so I just settle for being the female worship leader at my church on the weekends lol

2. How are you feeling? Pretty good. My nausea is mostly gone at this point with just a few waves like once a day. But I am constantly hungry. Like, so hungry.
3. Any appointments this week? My first OB appt on Wednesday!
4. Rants/raves/questions? Going to work after daylight savings is like being beaten emotionally. Today is rough.
5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing? I have literally never even contemplated being anything other than a vet. Ever since like 2nd grade I knew I wanted to be a vet and I just stayed with it. I guess I could also be a human doctor, although humans are gross, so that would be hard, lol.
8 weeks! Although that will be confirmed or changed this week. Baby is the size of a raspberry!
2. How are you feeling?
Pretty good right now! Boobs are still sore and I have very occasional mild nausea. Mostly tired and hungry right now.
3. Any appointments this week?
Yup! We finally have our appointment on Wednesday and can’t wait!
4. Rants/raves/questions?
All rave today...had a good spin class this morning and even though its Monday I am looking forward to this week because we have our appointment and if all goes well, we will then feel comfortable telling the rest of our family and close friends. Also, girls night on Thursday! No questions yet this week.
5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing?
I mostly love what I do, I currently work in a hospital laboratory. If I had my dream job I would love to be a chef or baker. I love to cook and bake, but rarely have time to really dive in to it.
2. How are you feeling? Trying not to vomit. The nausea has hit full force. I'm hungry all the time but I don't want to eat anything. Anxiously awaiting second trimester.
3. Any appointments this week? First ultrasound tomorrow!
4. Rants/raves/questions? I feel like I've totally given up in terms of housework. DH is trying to help as much as he can and he keeps telling me to just rest. But I need to vacuum so bad and looking around the house makes me cringe.
5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing? Like @spartan4life, I work in a hospital laboratory. I'm a medical technologist but I'm actually going back to school to be a nurse. If I wasn't doing either of those I would want to be a writer.

Sept 2017: Dx w/Endometriosis
Oct 2017: IUI w/Letrozole = BFN

FET Oct 2021: BFP on 10/31! MC at 5 weeks
FET Feb 2022: BFP on 2/15! EDD 10/29/22
2. How are you feeling? Tired and hungry all the time. It's hard to keep motivated after 5pm. Yesterday and today the nausea started to kick in. I'm nauseous (not vomiting) after I eat, or if I'm hungry, so it's a catch 22 there! Constipation is a biggie too, I've started eating a few prunes a day to help.
3. Any appointments this week? Yes! First appointment and ultrasound on 3/15, couldn't be more excited!
4. Rants/raves/questions? Love the message boards here, the support is great! It makes me feel like I'm not the only one feeling crappy lol. RAVING about SmartyPants prenatal gummies. They are the best tasting gummies I've ever had. They taste like the best fruit snack you've ever eaten! You get to eat 6 a day, and i look forward to them every afternoon. That may be the savage pregnancy hunger talking. Got them on Amazon!
5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing? I would have a craft/hobby store. Hoping to make it a reality one day. It would be called the She Shed. A community space where women (and men) and their kids can come in and share space to craft, sew, read and play. This way your house doesn't turn into a glitter bomb or pinterest fail and you have the community of other crafters around you!
2. How are you feeling?
I have good days and bad ones but the good outweigh the bad for sure. Nausea comes and goes. So tired all the time. This bloat is driving me nuts, I’m already getting asked if I’m pregnant and having to shut that down.
3. Any appointments this week?
Not until 3/29
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Raves—my anxiety has really let up within the past week or so. Rants—I have cravings for wine and beer. But I do not indulge them!
5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing?
I work in health care, and I’m a total science nerd, but all my hobbies are creative. I would love to be an interior designer or a Disney animator!
@shortstack930 - I feel your pain. I hate having a messy house and I feel like I've completely let the house go. I have mini meltdowns about it and hubby tries to reassure me it's okay. It doesn't bother him like it does me.
2. How are you feeling? Fine
3. Any appointments this week? Second u/s on Thurs to see if still tracking behind
4. Rants/raves/questions? Nothing pregnancy related aside from my impatience in waiting for Thursday. Will rave about a conference call I just got off of, though, because it was this powerhouse team of all women and it just made for such a great start to the week.
5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing? Doing the same type of job at Disney (I seriously love where I currently work - it's so cool - but I also love Disney), being a professional baker, or owning my own B&B on Cape Cod. I really think I'd love being a B&B owner, but I absolutely love working in supply chain/logistics so it's hard to envision much else.
9 weeks - cherry
2. How are you feeling?
Generally ok. Tired, hungry, nauseated sometimes, but it’s mild.
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope - not until the 27th.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I hate this app.
5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing?
Well, I was a history/Econ teacher before becoming a stay at home mom. I was in rock bands before becoming a teacher, so maybe if I took that more seriously, I would be doing that.
11! The size of a brussel sprout
2. How are you feeling?
Pretty good. Now that it’s the early afternoon, getting sleepy, but no real complaints!
3. Any appointments this week?
If you count a haircut, then I sure do! OB next week.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I went to a really great safe zone training for LGBT older adults this morning, which was nice and refreshing for a Monday!
5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing?
Ya know...I don’t really think I’ve found my niche yet. I hope that after I do the SAHM gig for a while, I’ll feel inspired to follow my instincts and do something I love. Just gotta find out what that is first!
11 weeks, the size of a lime!
2. How are you feeling?
Not too bad, tired and hungry.
3. Any appointments this week?
Not till next week
4. Rants/raves/questions?
5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing
I would definitely be doing computer work. I would love to not work with people.
We are currently 10wks 2 days
2. How are you feeling?
Today, I actually feel ok. Getting over an ear infection, have horrible congestion, but I am not as nauseous as I was yesterday. Morning sickness is definitely still present, but it is not terrible every day. Boobs are still incredibly sore and I have been experiencing some round ligament pain. I celebrate the good days!
3. Any appointments this week?
We have our genetic blood screening this week on Wed, which will also be able to tell us the gender of the sesame seed. We'll find that info out at our 12 wk appt. on Mar. 27. Super excited!
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Rave- glad to have other mommas to experience this with and listen to your journeys. I really like this forum, and I definitely learn something new each time I read through posts.
5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing?
I am currently an elementary school teacher, which I've done for the past 6 years. I love my students and my job, but I am actively considering being at home next year. I would be working online teaching ESL classes overseas to Chinese students. I also have some other side hustles lined up, regardless of whether or not I go back. I do want more time with the baby and take on this new role as mommy. Letting God and our finances guide our next steps.
1. I was 11 weeks yesterday. Baby’s the size of a lime!
2. I’m feeling pretty good! I’m still tired but I honestly can’t complain.
3. No appointments this week. I had one last Friday and have one next Friday.
4. Question: Is anyone else RH negative? I received a call from my OB’s office today with the results of my blood work and among all the good news, I was told that because my blood type is negative, I need to know DH’s blood type too. If he is negative we’re fine. If he is positive, I will need a rhogam injection? Of course DH doesn’t know his blood type so he’s calling his doctor tomorrow to see if maybe it’s recorded anywhere. Otherwise, he’ll need to get it tested. I had no idea this was even a thing. Anyone BTDT?
5. I would be a meteorologist or work for the Weather Channel. Natural weather phenomenons both fascinate and terrify me!
I was nine weeks on Monday.
2. How are you feeling?
Super nauseous still
3. Any appointments this week?
I need to make an endocrinologist appointment for this week.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I’m so over feeling like I’m going to puke. My daughter tricked me into thinking pregnancy was all rainbows and butterflies!
5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing?
If I weren’t a teacher then I’d be a psychologist for sure!
@spartan4life I’m just doing prerequisites now but so far so good. I’m hoping to start nursing school in fall of 2020 when this LO is almost a year old and my DD is in kindergarten. How do you like the administrative side of things?

@chopchop25 Good luck today!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
Hit 9 weeks Monday. I guess the size of an olive? (bleghhh)
2. How are you feeling?
Nauseous AF. Haven't thrown up yet, but been dry heaving all week. This is the first week I haven't gotten any break from the nausea...the past few weeks it went away when I ate. BOOOOO. Ready for the 1st tri to be over.
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope, nothing until the 12 week on April 2nd.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Since I ranted about the nausea already...going to rave about my husband. He's been doing all the cooking and cleaning since I can't handle anything right now... even opening the dishwasher to load the dishes makes me dry heave. He deserves a gold medal in homemaking right now.
5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing?
I'm currently a chemical engineering in oil and gas...soooo I'd probably take that degree and use it to make wine. I took a wine making class in college and it was AMAZING!! Love wine. Don't know about the whole growing grapes thing since I can't even keep rosemary alive, so probably just stick to the fermenting/blending part.
