I don't think we've had one of these yet but it's on the Tuesday list of discussion topics so I thought I'd kick us off!
How far along are you? How big is baby?
How are you feeling? Mentally/physically? Any new symptoms?
Rants? Raves? Questions?

Re: First Time Moms - Check in w/o 4/10
I'm 4w and 4 days - baby is a little bigger than a poppy seed
How are you feeling? Mentally/physically? Any new symptoms?
I go between feeling anxious and nervous to excited and happy - which is all exacerbated by my general increase in being emotional/moody. My boobs are a little sore and I'm a little crampy. No nausea yet *knock on wood* and generally feeling ok.
Rants? Raves? Questions?
Non-pregnancy related rave - we left our 6 month old puppy alone in the house today (rather than his crate) and he did great! No potty or chewing related disasters! yay!
GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure?
I feel embarrassed even mentioning it but just recently I have been obsessed with watching Keeping up with the Kardashians - I just cannot help myself! I think it's so mindless it just find it relaxing and distracting. Also - anything and everything on the Food Network (but I actually don't feel that guilty about that one).
5w2 baby is a peppercorn/apple seed
How are you feeling? Mentally/physically? Any new symptoms?
Not bad in general, tired and low belly/pelvis achiness and cramping. Sore nips. Starting to get some nausea. All is pretty on and off. Usually feel worse in the morning, get better during the day, exhausted in the evening.
Rants? Raves? Questions?
Rant: It's still cold here! There was snow today. I'm over it. Rave: today was the last lecture day for the class I teach, the rest of the semester is student presentations. I'm so happy to have an easy last 2 weeks. No real questions today, just waiting for my first consult next Wed.
GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure?
I don't think it should be guilty, but sometimes it feels like it is- staying home all weekend and not being social at All! MH is a total extrovert and im not so we struggle to find balance on the weekend of which and what kind of activities are good. So i love just staying in the whole time, but I feel guilty because I know he hates it .

How are you feeling? Mentally/physically? Any new symptoms?
Mentally I feel like I have developed aphasia. Earlier tonight I forgot the word FaceTime, and told DH that when I'm house hunting I would like to "talk to him on our matching phone cameras using that specific program" ...I hate losing my words, but at least I am clear...just not concise.
Physically I feel like my body is getting pear shaped real fast. Last time I was pg I bought some stretch jeans because I needed some give at eight weeks, but now I am muffin-toppin' out of those same pants already. I'm kind of having a hard time coping with being bigger, I am normally a petite 2-4 (and have been for the last ~20 years).
Rants? Raves? Questions?
Where do people buy stretchy pants that are NOT leggings or jeggings? I like slim cigarette pants.
GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure?
Chocolate chips! Every few weeks I buy a bag of dark baking chips and eat a handful for dessert each night until the bag is gone. When DH is at work, I usually have some for breakfast too.

I am 7 weeks and 0 days. Baby is a blueberry today!
How are you feeling? Mentally/physically? Any new symptoms?
Six weeks on the dot is when the nausea began. It has gotten worse, but I actually feel better because I have found news ways to cope with it and I've been able to eat the past couple days.
Rants? Raves? Questions?
I live in Florida and, for some reason, my state already decided that summer should begin. It's been SOOO hot the past few days and it makes the nausea so much worse!
GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure?
My guilty pleasure is World of Warcraft. I'm a really active person, but I've had trouble doing much since I've been so nauseous all the time. It's been a good way to release my mental energy!
I am 5w 3d today. Baby is a the size of a lentil or as tall as the M on an M&M.
How are you feeling? Mentally/physically? Any new symptoms?
Overall I'm not feeling too terrible. Still super tired, sore boobs, slight cramping, burping a lot, and waves of nausea. I have been having really crazy dreams this past week, but last night they turned more nightmare-ish. I've also started having difficulty falling asleep, so that's been fun!
Rants? Raves? Questions?
Total rant, the weather where I am is terrible!!! You had your time winter, go away! Rave: my DH and I are telling our parents that we're expecting today! We can't hold it in anymore lol. We're really excited to see their reactions! This will be the first grandbaby for both sets of parents, so we know they're going to freak out!
GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure?
I love playing the Disney emoji game! All of the emojis are so cute! After you win an emoji, you can use it on your keyboard so that makes it more fun!
I am 6w 5d. Size of an earring post, which I find to be a very strange and somewhat vague comparison. Oh well.
How are you feeling?
I feel like absolute garbage! But also lucky that I haven't been feeling worse. I had one bout of very severe nausea earlier in the week (I think Tuesday morning?) Other than that morning it's been fairly mild, but I definitely have at least some nausea every day. No specific cravings or aversions, just meal times when I am absolutely starving and food either sounds AMAZING or TERRIBLE. Boxed mac and cheese and progresso chicken soup have been kind to me during the everything-sounds-awful moments. I've also been incredibly exhausted just all the time. It's been particularly bad today. My house is a disaster and it's taken every ounce of willpower I have to do chores today.
Mentally, my brain feels like scrambled eggs. Very restless and almost panicky some days. Can't focus or concentrate on anything.
My boobs are also very sore and just feel so huge and heavy. I'm already a 32G so I've been super uncomfortable.
Rants? Raves? Questions?
I honestly can't think of anything at the moment.
GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure?
Oh gosh, I used to watch so much BRAVO. Particularly Housewives of Beverly Hills and Orange County, Shahs, and Vanderpump Rules. Those shows are so bad but they absolutely fascinate me in some sort of grotesque way. Luckily, we no longer have cable TV, only antenna, so I no longer watch them, but I do still read Vanderpump Rules episode recaps online haha.
Also, I know it's a total cliche, but I love wine. I certainly don't drink a ton of it (I usually limit myself to one bottle to enjoy throughout the weekend), and I have not been drinking since we started TTC in February. But man, it's probably my #1 vice. Luckily I have a pretty low alcohol tolerance, so potential of a nasty headache the next day gives me enough motivation to not drink more than 1 or 2 glasses at a time unless it's a special occasion.
