Baby is the size of a(n): No. 2 Pencil eraser
Upcoming appointments: Sept 24 for a pregnancy consultation. I think we will just go over thyroid stuff and talk about early testing for GD
How are you feeling? I am feeling overall great, which gives me anxiety. I don't have the typical symptoms (nausea and fatigue) so I get worried, but I do have several other symptoms. Acne all over my chin, more thirsty and hungry, excess saliva, RLP, shortness of breath, and peeing more.
Raves/Rants: My results from my thyroid labs came in, but then I realized they were skewed because some of my supplements have biotin in them. But we decided to go off my thyroid meds for 2 weeks and retest. I think things must be ok, because I am not getting any of my typical Hypo symptoms! I ordered a new prenatal to avoid the biotin for the next round of testing.
Questions: Nothing
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? I am a total early bird! But I do find it hard to wake up any earlier than 5:30. My usual time is between that and 6 am. Once I wake up, I am up. I can get right into getting shit done.

Baby is the size of a(n): Apple seed
Upcoming appointments: US on the 23rd.
How are you feeling? Okay. Bloated and peeing a lot. Plus my boobs are tender and I'm exhausted. Bring on all the symptoms!
Raves/Rants: I'm up early and ready for work and a colleague just text me that the power is out. I have things I need to do today, so this is not welcome news.
Questions: Nope
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? Early bird all the way. I'm pretty chipper when I wake up, too. It drives MH crazy.

Baby is the size of a(n): orange seed
Upcoming appointments: sept 30th
How are you feeling? Have had some cramping. Feeling tired. Have to travel for work tomorrow to Thursday and stressing a bit. There are sure to be some looks when I’m not drinking.
Raves/Rants: Wish I didn’t have to travel this week. Something about having a small one at home just makes me never want to leave. But I guess it will be nice to see some co-workers I don’t see in person much.
Questions: none
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? Used to be a night owl. But now I find that I really need to get stuff done early or it doesn’t get done. So maybe I’m becoming an early bird (shudder!)
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue: Finding Out
Baby is the size of a... Apple Seed
Upcoming Appointments: 25 September
How are you feeling? Currently sick after morning sickness just hit really hard. Overall? Nauseous, tired.
Rants/Raves: My MIL is pulling another one of her infamous, SIL’s grandchildren are the favorites, again. It makes me even more ragey knowing I’m pregnant again. Today should be an easyish day. MH has doctor appointments and labs and we have a friend’s farewell this afternoon.
Questions: Not yet
Are you an early bird or a night owl? Neither? I like to be in bed by 9 pm and asleep before 10 and I hate mornings. I am not functional before 7/8 am really. Haha. I love sleep and my kids don’t so we all suffer. 😜
@ruby696 boo! Hopefully they figure the power out soon.
@adventuresawait1 I hate leaving my S too! I would just love to stay home with him all the time.

Baby is the size of a(n): apple seed
Upcoming appointments: 9/23 us, 10/8 ob appt
How are you feeling? Pretty good. I'm starting to get the exhaustion, not bad yet, but I definitely feel more tired. I'm super thirsty all the time and I only get nausea when I'm super hungry, which feels like every 2 hours. And holy moly the weird dreams! They are nuts. Last night I was a part of a big movement in some crazy cult, the night before I was an international spy...
Raves/Rants: I had a pretty nice shopping weekend away, but I missed my S and H sooo much.
Questions:
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl?
Mostly early bird, but not like super early. I get up around 6:15 and, especially on the weekends, feel like I can get motivated and get more shit done.
@ruby696 another early bird? Lol. I hope the power comes back on pretty quickly.
@adventuresawait1 I hope your work trip goes fast!

Baby is the size of a(n): pea
Upcoming appointments: Had my intake phone call this past Friday and my midwife from my last pregnancy called me right away, she is super nice and excited I’m pregnant again. I’ll still see her even though I will most likely have a C-section. First ultrasound is October 3, looking forward to that.
How are you feeling? Tired, nausea has started but it is different than it was with DD, sore boobs, insomnia, peeing more regularly, smelling all the things. Going to start taking b6 to see if that helps with the nausea.
Raves/Rants: DH’s work schedule is always crazy in the fall and he is going to be gone a lot overnight this week. Just hoping that DD will adjust to that change well, usually she struggles with her sleep when DH isn’t home, she’s a very big daddy’s girl.
Questions: none right now
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? I’m an early bird. I’m much more likely to be productive in the morning and prefer it. I like to be in bed by 9pm most nights.
EDD: 5/14
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): appleseed
Upcoming appointments: oct 17 for US and bloodwork, nov 1 for appointment with midwife, will switch to OB after since I will most likely have a repeat C
How are you feeling? Super brain foggy, very fatigued, sometimes lightly nauseous.
Raves/Rants: I have to work for at least a few hours 7 of the next 8 days. I am really hoping DS naps this afternoon so I can nap too!
Questions: are my appointments the latest of this group? Nov 1 seems like a really long time to wait!
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? Used to be a night owl but lately I would say... neither? I am forced to get up early but prefer to wake up slow and have a quiet morning with coffee and low volume news on tv. I can’t do running shouting children first thing in the morning lol! But I am definitely one of the most pleasant/happy between my coworkers in the morning. I can’t stay up past 11 most days, even when I’m not KU.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: My husband wants to find out and I don't, we'll see on that as well
Baby is the size of a(n): Dot Snail
Upcoming appointments: early scan tomorrow, hoping it's not too early to see anything, last time we found out our pregnancy likely wasn't viable at the early scan, so praying for good news tomorrow, excited and terrified
How are you feeling? high anxiety, insomnia is slowly killing me, periodic cramping sends me down a train of bad thoughts, but my breasts finally hurt which makes me feel better about life because they were killing me last pregnancy
Raves/Rants: I am getting a new mattress today! I am sooooo excited. I hate my mattress and have neck problems so I hope this will help, and I hope that if it's comfy it will help combat the insomnia!
Questions:
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? early bird, I cannot accomplish anything after work at the end of the day, everything happens in the morning. If I don't get up and do something first thing in the morning I feel as if I've wasted my whole day.
@ruby696 I hope the power went back on!
@mdfarmchick That is frustrating about your MIL and favorites! Yup, I'm productive. Saturday I woke up at 5:30 am and worked on our bills and budget, folded some laundry, and made myself coffee all before DD woke up at 7:00!
@splashmountain Those are some intense dreams!
@pirateduck Yay for a new mattress! I hope it helps.
- BFP: 3/10/16 — Baby Girl born 11/20/16
TTC#2 April 2019@ruby696 oh no! I hope the power came back on.
@adventuresawait1 I hope your travels go well (and go by quickly!).
@mdfarmchick ugh that's really annoying about your MIL. I'm sorry.
@splashmountain Did you get anything fun while shopping!?
@pilotwife6 Is there a reason fall is a busier season? I hope your DD does well this week.
@JStill0603 Hope you got to nap today!
@pirateduck All the good vibes and fx for your US tomorrow!! I am also having pretty regular cramping. Enjoy your new mattress!
EDD: 5/14

Baby is the size of a(n): Pencil Eraser
Upcoming appointments: Nurse visit tomorrow and first prenatal/US 10/4
How are you feeling? Pretty nauseous (that still comes and goes a bit), exhausted, and emotional. I'm so much more relieved now that I'm feeling some more symptoms.
Raves/Rants: No motivation at work.... lol.
Questions: Nope
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? I lean towards early bird but if I had the choice I would probably stay up a little later and sleep in a little more. But I'm usually up before 6 these days so try to be in bed before 10.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Id like to believe team green, but we will definitely be team finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): dot snail
Upcoming appointments: next Monday, first ultrasound will be at 6W4D
How are you feeling? I felt nauseous all weekend, but I’m feeling better today.
Raves/Rants: I have never had problems sleeping through the night, but now I’m up all night long! 😭
Questions:
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? Always been an early bird, seems to be earlier with this pregnancy so far! I don’t function well at night.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out! Assuming all goes well I might order the sneak peek at home test
Baby is the size of a(n): sweet pea/ dried corn kernel
Upcoming appointments: oct 4th is my first appt at almost 9 weeks
How are you feeling? Super lethargic and fatigued, sore boobs. Nausea with coffee or tea.
Raves/Rants: I’m in nursing school right now and I feel overwhelmed with exams and clinicals and working.
Questions: I can’t think of anything
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? Early bird! I can’t stay up late at all. If i have to, I wake up at 4am to study vs staying up until 2am or something.
EDD: May 11
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out for sure
Baby is the size of a(n): jelly bean according to the What to Expect app which seems a little bigger than all the other apps and everyone else's information this week, but it's fun anyway so we'll go with it
Upcoming appointments: tomorrow is my first appointment. I assume it'll be like last pregnancy just an office visit to discuss the do's and dont's etc maybe an exam? The US probably will be scheduled separately, but hoping for this week!
How are you feeling? a little nausea, but so far popsicles and preggie pop drops are helping. The last few days I've been very gassy feeling in the evening to the point I don't really want dinner but eat a little something anyway.
Raves/Rants: My daughter's birthday party was yesterday so I'm done stressing about getting everything ready for that. But now this week we have her 2 year pictures on Friday which I don't have any clothes picked out for yet, and her actual birthday is Saturday. Hoping the weather is decent to do the zoo or something fun.
Questions: none right now
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? I'm with @splashmountain on the pigeon thing right now haha I typically prefer to stay up later, but I'm definitely more productive in the morning. And of course being pregnant I just want to sleep all the time right now.
@bender29 I have an US next Monday, too! I'm super nervous. I hope the week flies by for you and you have a great US.
@rnstudentbsn I can't imagine nursing school while pregnant. Hang in there!
Also, unfortunately, I second being gassy in the evenings, I think it is a huge contributor to my insomnia.
@pirateduck interesting about babies coming early at higher altitudes. I hope you have a reassuring scan tomorrow. And new mattresses are the best. We paid way too much for one three years ago and I’m still loving it with no regrets.
@rachelg777 I hope everything goes well tomorrow and you find your motivation.
@m6agua at least the nausea is somewhat reassuring?
@bender29 glad you are feeling a little better. The insomnia sucks. I woke up at 0430 this morning when DS1 jumped in our bed and never did fall back asleep. 😐
@rnstudentbsn good luck with nursing school! That’s got to be a lot in the first trimester.
@bananapanda I hope your DD enjoyed her party. And I’m sure you have plenty of time to figure out outfits for pictures on Friday. Glad the preggie pops are working.

Baby is the size of a(n): sweet pea
Upcoming appointments: Sept 23rd
How are you feeling? So thankful to be feeling sick. Ha Not so nauseated that I can’t function, but enough to encourage me that the pregnancy is progressing. (I’ve reached the feeling carsick while driving, must keep gum, water or snacks around point of my pregnancy)
Raves/Rants: We’re waiting to tell my family and it was so hard not being able to explain my super-emotional-hormonal self while visiting with them this past week. 😬
Questions: none
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? early bird all the way

TTC#2 April 2019Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team 100% finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): Sweet pea
Upcoming appointments: First US/OB appointment on October 1
How are you feeling? Crappy, but mostly because I think I'm also getting sick on top of being pregnant
Raves/Rants: I hate being sick as a teacher. It's so much more work to write sub plans to stay home than it is to just suck it up and come to work sick.
Questions: I had one this morning, but I forgot it. Oh well.
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl? Both? Neither? I get up for work around 5:30, though not really willingly. I like to lounge around on the couch at night rather than go to bed, but I still try to be in bed around 10.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Green
Baby is the size of a(n): apparently the opening of a straw
Upcoming appointments: 9/24 with my midwife do some labs
How are you feeling? I’m feeling alright the nausea hits me here and there and when it hits it HITS which so isn’t convenient especially because I’m transitioning out of my job
Raves/Rants: my midwife is dope af I really appreciate her and so is my partner he’s super on board with all the crunchy parent stuff
Questions: are any of y’all birth workers? And if so how are you navigating this process with your partner?
GTKY: Are you an early bird or a night owl?EARLY BIRD! I just start fading the later the day goes
