    How far along are you?  How big is baby? Blueberry

    Any appointments this week? Nope, not until next week.

    How are you feeling (mentally/physically)?  Any new symptoms? Tired. I haven't been puking (knock on wood) but have been feeling generally nauseous.

    Rants? Raves? Questions? I cried today because DH agreed to bring home dinner and he said he'd be home around 6, but when he wasn't home at 6:45 I called him and he was still at work and hadn't called in the order yet. He didn't get home until about 7:20. I'm someone who gets hangry easily and now I feel nauseous when I don't eat on top of that and how could he possibly be so inconsiderate as to make his pregnant wife wait for dinner and not even let her know so she has a snack!! (It was definitely annoying but not something I would cry over if I wasn't pregnant lol!)

    GTKY: What is a movie you are looking forward to seeing and/or what is your favorite movie? Incredibles 2

    How far along are you?  How big is baby? By my (admittedly not totally informed) estimate I'm about 6 weeks 5 days? Apparently baby is about as big as the opening of a straw.

    Any appointments this week?  Nope.  This is my first pregnancy and my Dr doesn't do appointments until 8-10 weeks unless there's an issue or history.  My first appointment won't be until June 6!

    How are you feeling (mentally/physically)?  Any new symptoms?  Feeling ok.  Symptoms have been coming and going.  Right now it's mostly nausea, sore boobs, and peeing a lot.  Nothing really new there.  Mentally I'm trying to allow myself to be optimistic while also not getting too excited.  I've seen here and in "real life" too many people have things not work out, but at the same time it's my first pregnancy so I have no reason yet to think that it won't necessarily work out for me.  Just trying not to stress out too much!

    Rants? Raves? Questions? I went to the grocery store and got so many fruits and veggies I was so proud of myself!  Now I just have to make sure I actually eat them...

    GTKY: What is a movie you are looking forward to seeing and/or what is your favorite movie? I'm really excited for Incredibles 2!  I'm a huge Disney/Pixar fan.  Also, Solo will hopefully be good too!  I have trouble picking a favorite movie, too many good ones!

    How far along: 6+4, baby is a bit bigger than a sweet pea

    Appointments this week: None. First appointment is next Wednesday. They prefer 8 to 10 weeks, but I’m high risk so I squeaked an appointment in a little early.

    Symptoms: All-day nausea, fatigue, acne, headaches, bloating. Basically all the things.

    R/R/Q: A little frustrated with my OB’s office. They won’t do an U/S on the first appointment, but I have an appointment with MFM the following week and they require that an U/S be done already. I explained that to the OB, and they just don’t seem willing to make accommodations for a high risk pregnancy. 

    GTKY: I really want to see Infinity War. We waited until it had been out a few weeks, but now that I’m getting “morning” sickness I’m not sure I can sit through a three-hour movie.

    4+3, Baby is the size of a poppy seed.

    Any appointments this week?
    I had an appointment yesterday. It went really well. I have another appointment on the 31st and my first U/S then.

    How are you feeling (mentally/physically)?  Any new symptoms?
    Mentally I've really been struggling with getting excited or believing that this is real. DH wants to tell everyone so badly and I am terrified of something happening. I've still been poas like a fiend. I have had a few moments of slight nausea but nothing too rough so far.

    Rants? Raves? Questions?
    Rant: yesterday the nurse said my test barely showed up and it scared the crap out of me. Rave: I had yesterday off and don't work until 2 today so I've had some time to catch up on house stuff.
    Questions: Is anyone else still poas to see if the line is getting darker?

    GTKY: What is a movie you are looking forward to seeing and/or what is your favorite movie?
    I can't wait to see The Incredibles 2 and Adrift.

    7.5 weeks, blueberry baby!

    Any appointments this week?
    I had my OB appt but was really unimpressed. He treated me like all I had were dumb questions, so I went on the hunt for a midwife. I found one - I'm excited for that!

    How are you feeling (mentally/physically)?  Any new symptoms?
    Depends on the day. I spend most nights feeling crazy nauseated and most days exhausted from not sleeping. Some days I cry, some days I laugh maniacally.

    Rants? Raves? Questions?
    There seems to be a lot of negative feedback around about OBs; what's up with that?? They should be happy helpful doctors!

    GTKY: What is a movie you are looking forward to seeing and/or what is your favorite movie?
    Looking forward to Incredibles 2.

    Hey, don't worry about the line on the stick being faded! It doesn't mean anything - a line is a line.

    I feel slightly awkward posting in this thread since I’m already a mom through adoption... but this is my first biological kid so pregnancy is totally new for me. 

    How far along are you?  How big is baby?
     
    8 weeks today. Baby is the size of a raspberry.

    Any appointments this week? nope. My next one is next week 

    How are you feeling (mentally/physically)?  Any new symptoms? My boobs grew a whole freaking cup size this week and feel like someone punched them all night long. I’m also getting nauseous if I don’t eat every hour or so and peeing all the damn time. Other than that I’m good! 

    Rants? Raves? Questions? We told MIL recently and she went and told practically everyone on DH’s side of the family. I’m so mad... at least she hasn’t put it on FB yet.

    GTKY: What is a movie you are looking forward to seeing and/or what is your favorite movie? I’m really looking forward to Oceans 8! We are going to see it for my birthday in a few weeks.

    7w1d. Baby is the size of a blueberry
    Any appointments this week?
    Nope.  My first appointment isn't until the 31st.
    How are you feeling (mentally/physically)?  Any new symptoms?
    Pretty good, which makes me a little nervous. I had about a week of nausea but it hasn't been as bad the past few days. My only real symptoms are extreme fatigue and sore breasts/nipples.
    Rants? Raves? Questions?
    I have a terrible cold and the only thing that works on my list of safe drugs is Benadryl so now I have that drowsiness on top of my regular pregnancy fatigue. I just feel like a zombie constantly.
    GTKY: What is a movie you are looking forward to seeing and/or what is your favorite movie?
    TBH I'm not a big movie person. I'd way rather binge a TV series on netflix on my couch.
