1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 6 weeks. Baby is the size of the back of an earring.
2. How are you feeling? So, so anxious. I am still bleeding. It's terrifying. But other than that, I have bouts of MS here and there, lots of heartburn, and the swelling in my ankles is astronomical.
3. Any appointments this week? I had another beta today. Waiting on results. And then I have more BW and another US on Monday. Fingers crossed!
4. Rants/ raves/ questions? I don't dare rant about anything. This pregnancy is so, so wanted. I am so lucky to still be here.
5. GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? Does Harry Potter count? Haha. #obsessed. Otherwise, I really love(d) The Lion King.

Hi Ladies- I just intro'd and my long history is in my siggy! Terrified to jinx myself and post, but figured it would be nice to get to know you all!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
6 weeks today. Anxiously waiting to see heartbeats next week. We saw two sacs and tiny tiny babies measuring on track for 5+5 on Monday.
2. How are you feeling?- Not great, nausea hit yesterday and between that and the severe nerves/anxiety, I am not eating or sleeping very much. I also have a large SCH, which is causing light bleeding. My RE says these normally resolve themselves and are fine, but I need to take it very easy right now.
3. Any appointments this week?- Not until Tuesday.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?- Similar to @kristokekekerooni, I can't have any rants as I am beyond blessed to be at this point. I'm honestly just terrified it will be taken away.
5. GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? hmm I am also a big harry potter fan, but enjoy the books more than the movies! On the flip side, I actually loved the LOTR movies way more than the books

Back for # 2!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 8 weeks. Baby is the size of a raspberry.
2. How are you feeling? I’ve had off and on nausea and feel like I never have any energy.
3. Any appointments this week? I had my first appointment and u/s yesterday. Everything is looking great so far, which is a huge relief.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions? At my appointment yesterday, I didn’t understand the order they did the testing and the ultrasound. I had to have an empty bladder to do the ultrasound, then 20 minutes later and without much of a chance to drink water, I had to give a urine sample. I know I’m pregnant and have to pee a lot, but that still made no sense to me.
5. GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? I always have a hard time picking favorites, but I’d probably have to say the Little Mermaid.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 5 weeks- size of an apple seed.
2. How are you feeling? Extremely tired and a little bloated. Feeling good other than that.
3. Any appointments this week? No, first appointment is July 16.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
5. GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? Lion King!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
7 weeks! Blueberry!
2. How are you feeling?
Overall, pretty great! I've been a little tired and my boobs are a little sore. I threw up this morning, but I think that was because I tried matcha green tea for the first time on an empty stomach? Other than that, no MS! I've been SO HUNGRY lately! There have been a few meals I wasn't too keen on, but I haven't really had any specific aversions.
3. Any appointments this week?
Our first appointment is on Monday!! This is my first pregnancy, so I am obviously a combination of nervous and excited!
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
Just very thankful and trying my best to be patient and trust God! I really like having my ticker change on a wednesday, I feel like having the weekend in the middle of the week helps me to be distracted and not focus on my pregnancy as much - which makes the week go by quicker! I guess I also need to try to be more present and enjoy the moment I am in right now instead of wishing it to go faster.
5. GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie?
The Princess Bride!!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 7 weeks. Blueberry
2. How are you feeling? Completely normal. No symptoms.
3. Any appointments this week? No, wah! I have an u/s on 7/11
4. Rants/ raves/ questions? We're having an appraisal tomorrow and my house is a shithole but IDGAF. But if the house doesn't apprise at the right price, we're screwed. Still not cleaning though.
5. GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? Aladdin or Girls Just Want to Have Fun or The Secret of My Success or ... too many!!

DD#2 - born 12.24.19
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 6 weeks, sweet pea!
2. How are you feeling? Tired, queasy, irritable, anxious. The spotting I’ve been having the last few days started tapering off yesterday and was less severe-looking overall than the spotting I had at 4 weeks. Hopefully everything is still fine, won’t find out for another couple weeks though.
3. Any appointments this week? Nope.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions? Hm. I’m on vacation which is lovely, but my mom is driving me crazy. I’m a planner and I had everything figured out for this trip, and then she changes everything last minute. Ended up getting stuck in the car for four hours today for a tourist attraction nobody cared that much about, not my idea of fun.
5. GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? The Land Before Time!
DD born 4/1/2023

I went to my first one this past Monday. That’s when I found out my edd is actually Feb 20. The staff was excited to see me.
