How are you feeling?: tired and the nose bleeds have started already.
Rants/Raves: My kids told my fil and my grandmother we are expecting again. So now I feel flustered because of any one in my family those two are ones I wanted to tell when I had no other choice.
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to about being pregnant? Giving my kids a sibling.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out (last one was a surprise)
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Upcoming appts: July 11
How are you feeling?: nauseous and a little crampy
Rants/Raves: i am already on “loose bed rest” because of a chorionic hematoma. I had one with my first pregnancy too so I am not worried. But I was really looking forward to continuing my workouts through the first trimester. I gained 60+ lbs during my last pregnancy and it made things a lot more difficult for me in the last trimester.
Questions: not really
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to about being pregnant? Feeling the baby kick. I actually love that part!
How are you feeling?: Ok, we're on vacation with extended family so it's hard to tell what exhaustion/moodiness I can attribute to traveling with two small kids/pregnancy. But like 90% of my vocabulary is gone which is always a symptom for me lol. Also feeling somewhat nauseous but not as much as before.
Rants/Raves: see above, can't remember words for the life of me. Mentally feeling a bit nervous as I'm approaching 7w which is when I had my loss. Glad this vacation is a great distraction.
Questions: none
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to about being pregnant? Telling people (we've only told one friend so far) / feeling the baby move! This is the last one so trying to savor it all. Ohhh and also looking forward to when food tastes good again LOL.
EDD/W+D: Feb 23/ 7 weeks + 2 days (I think anyway, haven’t gone to the Dr to confirm).
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Definitely finding out. Can’t stand not knowing things!
Baby is the size of a(n): altoid mint
Upcoming appts: first is July 18
How are you feeling?: Currently very tired but also generally nauseated most of the day. Been taking B6 and Unisom at night which has taken the edge off.
Rants/Raves: Food no longer brings me joy and I can only really stomach carbs and fruit. Cant wait for this part to be over!
Questions: None at the moment.
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to about being pregnant? Being able to tell people/having a viable pregnancy. Planning on waiting until 12/13 weeks this time since my last pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 10 weeks.
How are you feeling?: I was on vacation for 2 weeks and it was extremely hot with no A/C so it's hard to know what is pregnancy related and what isn't but still no appetite and nausea, mostly in the morning.
Rants/Raves: I am glad to be back home. I am only hungry for fruits and soup. It was hard to tell family that I wasn't hungry. They wanted us to eat all the foods.
Questions: do ginger ale drinks like Canada Dry or Seagram's work for nausea?
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to about being pregnant? feeling the baby move.

@rikiteacup Yay! You're back!!! No A/C is tough! Fizzy things have helped me but my favorite is the Sparkling Mama mix on Amazon along with Unisom at night. It literally has been my saving grace! Below is from the paperwork from my doctor for nausea.
@brookert615 I need to go to the store tonight as our fridge is empty. Adding Unisom and vitamin B6 to my list. Glad to know about soda. Drinking Coke Zero helped a lot on my trip.
