How are you feeling?: I’m still feeling crummy. The only thing that keeps the nausea somewhat at bay is eating, but I’m constantly eating... and I’m constipated. Something must give!

How are you feeling?: yesterday I felt so good! It was such a nice break from the nausea.
Rants/Raves: Summer break has my oldest DDs fighting from sun up to sun down. It’s obnoxious.
Questions: none
GTKY: What do you do for a living? I’m a stay at home mom for the most part but I do work VERY part time (8 hrs a week) as a nursery director for my church. My kids get to come with me to work so I’m always mommin.

Baby is the size of a(n): Cherry
Upcoming appts: July 16 for first prenatal checkup
How are you feeling?: really good. The nausea abated over the weekend and I am hoping that holds. Still really tired, but that is much more manageable than being sick all the time.
Rants/Raves: we decided to start telling friends and extended family this week. My dad is super relieved because he is the worst at keeping secrets.
Questions:
GTKY: What do you do for a living? Currently housewife/finishing my masters. As of August, I will be working as a mental health therapist in a small, local university. It's the same place I did the internship for my masters and I am so excited to be going back.

Upcoming appts: July 11th!! Can't wait!
How are you feeling?: Generally pretty good. I have stated it makes me nervous but I am just going to start being thankful that I am not feeling absolutely miserable.
Rants/Raves: Sooo glad we got our pool set up so I can relax and float in the pool this weekend!
Questions:
GTKY: What do you do for a living? I work in the office of a water utility company. I have been here 13 years. But am currently thinking of making a change to becoming a para educator because having all the breaks and summers off with my daughter and soon to be LO, sounds so appealing. I am forking out so much money for camps this summer, the thought of spending it for two makes me want to throw up. lol

How are you feeling?: slightly tired. But that could also be my 2 1/2 year old’s energy wearing me out.

Questions: Anyone have good suggestions for good bras?

Upcoming appts: July 8 for first OB appointment. Was just released by my RE a week ahead of schedule! (IVF pregnancy)
How are you feeling?: Mostly tired. Had constant nausea for the last 2 weeks but seems to be lessening. Also constantly hungry.
Rants/Raves: My husband and I are redoing our landscaping. I enjoy gardening and it’s something we both love doing together. Since we struggled for so long to get pregnant and I had some complications after our retrieval procedure from “doing too much too soon”, my husband is watching me like a hawk and not letting me do things that I normally would. I know it’s because he’s worried, but I feel like I’m missing out on something I enjoy and he doesn’t do things quite like I would (I’m very type A and he’s more go with the flow). I feel like I’m constantly standing over him asking him to do things a certain way, and then he gets annoyed. Which wouldn’t have to happen if he would just let me do it myself. Ugh! 😂
Questions: None
GTKY: What do you do for a living? I’m an interior designer.

Baby is the size of a(n): popcorn
Upcoming appts: I have to schedule a CVS for a couple weeks from now. I’m 35 so my doctor recommended it.
How are you feeling?: Alternating between starving and queasy. There is no satisfying my stomach these days!
Rants/Raves: I’m just so tired lately. Between working and chasing after my 2 year old, I’m constantly yawning. I miss sleeping in soooo much.
Questions: not right now.
GTKY: What do you do for a living? I’m a VP at an ad agency.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green:
We want to find out, but we're not going to tell anyone!
Baby is the size of a(n): Gummy bear
Upcoming appts: Labs at some point this week. 12 week ultrasound/ appointment on 9/25
How are you feeling?: Emotionally, much better after seeing a heartbeat yesterday. Physically- queasy, bloated, exhausted
Rants/Raves: Rant- ginger flavored sparkling water from whole foods. I don't drink sugary drinks, so it has been a godsend for nausea.
Questions: none right now. I'm just slowly navigating being pregnant after a loss.
GTKY: What do you do for a living? I'm an HR Manager for a nonprofit organization.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: green I hope.
Baby is the size of a(n): Raspberry
Upcoming appts: July 8th
How are you feeling?: nauseated and tired, currently struggling with headaches and I can’t decide if it’s hormonal or hydration related.
Rants/Raves: the only way to stop the nausea is to eat but nothing sounds good! It’s killing me! On the up side my kids have been letting me sleep late so that’s kind of a miracle!
Questions: none that I can think of
GTKY: What do you do for a living? I’m mostly home with my kids, but I’m also a childbirth educator, and doula.
@tashia5587 I can't definitely relate to you in trying to figure how to navigate this pregnancy! Since day one I have been trying to just take it one day at a time but it has been easier said than done!
@bg122785 My biggest worry was that I didn't feel bad enough with my symptoms but today disproved that! I think we all experience it differently!

Baby is the size of a(n): cherry
Upcoming appts: July 10 for 1st checkup with my OB (after ‘graduating’ from IVF clinic), but apparently will not have an ultrasound?
How are you feeling?: Nausea and good aversions continue...blech. Generally pretty tired but not dealing with any extreme fatigue.
Rants/Raves: I ate a lobster roll yesterday and enjoyed it, which felt like a July 4 triumph in the midst of general food aversions! Also re-discovering summer smoothies, which taste delicious in my present state and are at least one way to get something in my body that isn’t a beige-colored carb.
Questions: If I’m not getting an US next week at my 10-week checkup with my OB, how do they confirm that the pregnancy continues to be viable? Do you think that will be through Doppler? I’ve had two friends who experienced missed miscarriages, so this is on my mind.
GTKY: What do you do for a living? I work in biotech.
