Re: Check-in Week of 12/8
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: we are going to find out not sure what green means!
Baby is the size of a(n): poppy seed?
Upcoming appointments: December 20 is my first doctors appt which probably means my first ultrasound.
How are you feeling? Nervous.
Raves/Rants: We are trying to buy a house and it’s taking FOREVERR
Questions: I really wish I knew if I was further along. It’s annoying not knowing for another two weeks!
GTKY: What would consist of a perfect day for you? Being with my son and husband on a fun outing.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: team finding out!
Baby is the size of a(n): of a sweet pea
Upcoming appointments: January 2
How are you feeling? Pretty good
Raves/Rants: The emotional roller coaster I go through sometimes is no fun at all. Before my first born, I was never emotional. And now this pregnancy I have to avoid anything that would make me cry because I’m not trying to have it. This pregnancy is so different from my last one.
Questions: none at the moment.
GTKY: What would consist of a perfect day for you? A beautiful beach day with my family and my husband actually enjoying it. We would have a nice big family breakfast together and then head to the beach. I would pack sandwiches and other snacks so we wouldn’t have to leave the beach and enjoy the sand and water. This also includes a nap on the beach, which I feel like are the best naps! Then we would have take out for dinner, but my daughter down, and have a movie night with my husband.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Definitely finding out! We’re doing genetic testing so hopefully we can find out early. We’re so excited!
Baby is the size of a(n): sweet pea
Upcoming appointments: Ive been having some cramping in my right side, so my doctor scheduled an early ultrasound just to be safe (but has also assured me it’s a normal pain to have). So my first ultrasound will be on Wednesday at 6w5d.
How are you feeling? Pretty good this week.
Raves/Rants: it’s tough having pregnancy symptoms when you aren’t showing and haven’t told many people. I find myself having to make up excuses for being tired, or for Doctor appointments, or for having to pass on alcohol, when I wish I could just tell everyone the truth!
Questions: none right now!
GTKY: What would consist of a perfect day for you? Going on a trip to explore a new place with my husband and dog 🙂
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): Apple seed
Upcoming appointments: Not until 1/13
How are you feeling? Pretty good overall, a bit tired but that’s normal between working full time and chasing around a toddler. Feeling a little anxious being this early in pregnancy but trying to enjoy it as much as I can.
Raves/Rants:
Questions:
GTKY: What would consist of a perfect day for you? Really anything that involves spending time with my husband and son in a relaxing and fun way. That beach day sounds awesome.

Upcoming appointments: 12/31 intake and dating u/s
How are you feeling? Pretty normal but a little more tired.
Raves/Rants: Went to the outlets and Science Center this morning. Came home, took a nap and woke up to clean dishes and brownies. My fantasy team looks like they’re gonna hold on to sneak into playoffs! It’s been a nice little Sunday.
Questions: None.
GTKY: What would consist of a perfect day for you? Something fun with my family but also include a nanny for meal times so I can eat without being interrupted.

baby is the size of a lentil/sweet pea
Baby is the size of a(n): eraser tip
Upcoming appointments: 12/20!!!
How are you feeling? awful! I’ve had nausea for the past four days with vomiting yesterday... nothing sounds good to eat, and then I might suddenly get a specific craving (which just makes me grateful that I have the desire to eat). Today I wanted a biscuit for breakfast and salt & vinegar chips.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Green
Upcoming appointments: Midweek! Planning to skip the dating ultrasound and physical so it'll just be standard questions, pee in a cup, and blood draw.
How are you feeling? Sick and tired and overwhelmed still. And kind of sad. I'm really in a funk.
Raves/Rants: H keeps forgetting to bring his drill home from work so we can put some stuff up on the walls. Grr. Rave: got some Christmas decor put up this week!
GTKY: What would consist of a perfect day for you? A day with my husband sans children! Taking it easy. Going to a show, visiting a museum, relaxing on a beach, hiking, anything really. And a nice dinner out.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team Finding Out
Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed
Upcoming appointments: My first appointment isn’t until January 6th. I don’t know when exactly my last period was so I may have a dating ultrasound. Who knows.
How are you feeling? Exhausted
Raves/Rants: In the middle of a divorce(my ex and I have been separated for 3 years now) and wasn’t expecting to get pregnant so early so now I’m in a rush to finish the damn divorce before the baby is born. 🙄
Questions:
GTKY: What would consist of a perfect day for you? Just a quiet day at home with my kids and boyfriend. Riding our horses, working on farm stuff, etc
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out, I feel like it's a boy since this pregnancy is different from my 1st
Baby is the size of a(n): metal earring back
Upcoming appointments: First appt is December 26th
How are you feeling? Symptoms come an go. Boobs are sore. Appetite is so-so. Overall feel pretty good though.
Raves/Rants: Rant: My mom begged we tell my dad the big news this weekend. She's the only other one that knows and she "can't keep secrets" from my dad. I ended up telling him and it was such a flat response and I guess I just expected more. He didn't even tell my husband congratulations? And commented he had wondered how my running was going as I was getting a little belly. Ouch.
Questions: None
GTKY: What would consist of a perfect day for you? Being with my husband and daughter, how we usually spend our Sunday's. Make pancakes for breakfast then play around the house. Maybe go out for a little shopping. Afternoon nap. Big Sunday dinner and some Netflix bingeing before bed. I'm all about low-key and hermit life rn
Team finding out!
Baby is the size of a- poppyseed
Feeling- Overall pretty good! Scared I feel too good! Haven't had much of an appetite (not nauseous, just not hungry). A little bit of weird pressure in my lower abdomen and some cramping that comes and goes. I also haven't been sleeping well.
Rants/raves- I am so anxious the wait until my first appointment (1/3) is killing me!
Questions- What are some tips that can help calm the constant anxiety that something is going to go wrong? I'm a FTM!
GTKY- Doing any fun travelling or activity with my husband! We love history and architecture and spending time together.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: team finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): lavender bud
Upcoming appointments: 1/6
How are you feeling? Pretty good. I don't really feel any different except that my boobs are sore. Which of course increases my anxiety that something's not right because I don't think I have enough symptoms.
Raves/Rants: I have a cold and since I have no idea what to take other than plain Tylenol I'm just suffering through it.
Questions:
GTKY: What would consist of a perfect day for you? Yesterday was actually a perfect day for me! I woke up early and drank my coffee in my living room with the lights off except for the Christmas tree and a candle burning. Then my husband made pancakes for breakfast and we spent the day at home together.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): apple seed
Upcoming appointments: dating u/s scheduled for 12/30, first appt 1/21.
How are you feeling?
Like crap. I am so angry all the time, and I want to eat everything always. Also, I am so bloated I feel like an over full balloon ready to burst.
Raves/Rants:
Questions:
Nope.
GTKY: What would consist of a perfect day for you?
I would have to say April 25th, cause it’s not too hot, and not too cold. You just need a light jacket.
But really, my favorite days are nice sunny days spent on the coast with my husband, kids and dogs.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out ASAP!
