Any appointments? Questions?: Have my first appointment on Thursday! Just want to hear the little heartbeat and know everything is okay!
Rants/Raves?: So with my first, I almost entirely weened off coffee. This time around, I'm drinking more decaf, then I read there's a chemical process involved with decaf. Ugh, so frustrating, I've been having about 2 cups a day. I guess I'll go back to 1 regular cup a day.
How are you feeling?: Not bad, bloated, and boobs feel full. At times I get semi-strong cramps, but not bad. And I'm thirsty ALL THE TIME!
GTKY: What are you/SO/kids dressing up as for Halloween and what are your plans? I'm not dressing up, but DD will be a butterfly. We dressed her up this weekend and went to the mall. She'll be dressed up in daycare, but no trick or treating, maybe next year.
Any appointments? Questions?: US on Wednesday. Terrified, thank you PGAL brain.
Rants/Raves?: I'm seriously terrified for my appt Wed. Part of me wants to just say eff it an not go because I can't get bad news if I don't. But then obviously I want desperately to see that everything is okay. I'm already having flashbacks.
How are you feeling?: Still having some nausea issues. No vomiting but just bleh feeling. Minor RLP and sore boobs. And still so so tired.
GTKY: What are you/SO/kids dressing up as for Halloween and what are your plans? DH and I have superman and wonder woman shirts. DS will be a dinosaur and niece a mad hatter. I'm going to leave work early and bring DS up to DHs work to trick or treat. That's going to be interesting because I use to work there (laid off last year). Then we will take DS around locally and collect neice from her mom and then do the big area of town. I'm already exhausted thinking about it.
Any appointments? Questions?: No appts until the end of Nov.
Rants/Raves?: so sick of my whiny teething toddler! He wakes up AT LEAST 5 times a night.
How are you feeling?: so effing tired and hungry all the time, plus sore boobs.
GTKY: What are you/SO/kids dressing up as for Halloween and what are your plans? DS is a porkupine but we won’t be trick or treating as it’ll be too cold & too close to bedtime. Maybe next year!
Any appointments? Questions?: I’m setting up my first appointment for the end of next week
Rants/Raves?: rant: I am sick all the time but can’t tell anyone at work or school why and it’s really annoying
How are you feeling?: sick ALL THE TIME I can’t even look at food without dry heaving, but I also have to eat like every 2 hours or else I puke. Really hoping this ends soon
GTKY: What are you/SO/kids dressing up as for Halloween and what are your plans? I teach that night and feel like crap so my plans are to watch movies with my sweetie and drink seltzer
Any appointments? Questions?: Next appt is 11/16 @ 10w
Rants/Raves?: Rant: Had a kind of shitty weekend because all I wanted to do was lay around and I think that made the MS worse. Hoping I'll feel better being up and about during the week. Rave: Trying a new (fully cooked) food delivery service this week! I am the one who does all of the cooking, so DH suggested it as a way for me to scale back on chores during the thick of the first tri. Hope it's tasty!
How are you feeling?: The unisom has quelled the MS to a dull roar, although I think it might make me a bit groggy. NO longer feeling on the edge of vomiting, just never quite feel good.
GTKY: What are you/SO/kids dressing up as for Halloween and what are your plans? I'm excited to give away candy at our new house this year. We were in an apartment before se didn't get many trick-or-treaters.
Any appointments? Questions?: I have my first prenatal appointment next Monday
Rants/Raves?: DD (2) is driving me up the wall! She wont eat what she is given. Usually takes a bite then wants something else. Her favourite word right now is "No". And shes started this thing when I tell her no, she screams at the top of her lungs.
How are you feeling?: overall great. I am still fighting off the tiredness. And I have had a little bit of spotting here and there but nothing to be concerned about I dont think, looking forward to my first prenatal though just for assurance.
GTKY: What are you/SO/kids dressing up as for Halloween and what are your plans? I have an at home daycare so we are having a Halloween party, with lots of spooky treats and a Halloween themed lunch. DD will be Tinkerbell for the party, and a unicorn for trick or treating (the costume is way warmer) and my son is probabaly going to be BumbleBee the transformer at school and the Black Panther for trick or treating. I have a little spiderman dress thing I will wear.
Any appointments? Questions?: My first appointment isn't for another week.
Rants/Raves?: I slept so much this weekend! My husband watched our 2 year old so I could have some extra nap time. It was amazing!
How are you feeling?: So nauseous...all the time. I've been struggling to make it through each school day without throwing up. I slept so much this weekend and I still feel exhausted!
GTKY: What are you/SO/kids dressing up as for Halloween and what are your plans? My little one is going to be Chase from Paw Patrol....my husband and I don't have any special costumes planned. I'm sure I'll wear something for school and keep that on for trick-or-treating.
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry (which I showed my almost-2 yo the other day, and he pretended to eat the blueberry off the screen, haha!)
Any appointments? Questions?: My first appointment isn't until 11/16, and that's not even an u/s. I forgot how much the first trimester sucks with all the waiting!!!
Rants/Raves?: This week is going to be insane. Big project at work, plus unexpected travel down to RI with DH and DS.
How are you feeling?: Overall, fantastic. I was SO SICK with DS at this point, and so far this pregnancy, all I have is really sore boobs (that DS keeps bearing all of his weight on while climbing me, owwww) and some constipation. I'm also more tired than usual.
GTKY: What are you/SO/kids dressing up as for Halloween and what are your plans? DS is going to be a dinosaur because he already has a dino sweatshirt, tail, and slippers, so this way I don't have to buy him a costume. I'm going to a Halloween party at his daycare on Wednesday, which shoul dbe super cute. I was going to take him trick-or-treating at the fire station after that, but now we have to leave right afterwards to go to RI for my husband's grandmother's funeral. But I'm happy he doesn't have to miss the party, at least.

only thing I can stomach right now.
Any appointments? Questions?: First appointment is November 1st! I’m excited

questions prepared. Also tried to jot down family medical history and such.
Rants/Raves?: We told my hubs’ brother and SIL this weekend mostly
because we went on a mini vacation with them and I’m feeling awful. It felt
great to have someone else to talk to and to share the excitement with.
How are you feeling?: It really hit me last Friday. Constantly nauseous
and exhausted. No appetite. I wake up around 4:30am every day. I’ve also got
some acne on my temples. Feelin’ wicked
cute.
GTKY: What are you/SO/kids dressing up as for Halloween and what are your
plans? No plans this year. We missed our friend Halloween party this past
weekend because we were out of state. Probably just going to nap when I get out
of work and then have trouble sleeping because of our appointment the next
morning.
This week is definitely appointment week for everyone, thinking about you all!
