Questions: none
GTKY: What is your hobby? I'm a huge gamer...like I play all sorts of video games on multiple consoles. Some online, some not. But I've been obsessed for years. However, I will be very strict about my kids and video games.

EDD/weeks+days: 5+3 (9/25)
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Team haven't decided yet!
Baby is the size of a(n): lentil
Upcoming appointments: ugghhhh nothing for me until Feb 20. I wish the RE would let me come in for an earlier ultrasound, but since I had a "spontaneous conception", no such luck. So, an infinite wait it is.
How are you feeling? Insatiable appetite with occasional bouts of nausea. Mostly just sore boobs!!
Raves/rants: haven't told anybody yet! We agreed not to even tell DD (3yo) because she is an open book. She maybe hears us talking, though, and might be smarter than we think we because we were in the car yesterday and she said "we will have to get a small car seat for my baby brother. He can sit right here so I can look at him." Okay, WTF, psychic child?
Questions: none atm
GTKY: What is your hobby? I like yoga, Zumba, biking, taking DD swimming and on walks, Netflix, puzzles, baking, knitting, sewing, and lately napping.
And my dad will come around. He's not really a family guy so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. My mom is ecstatic so that made up for it!
I play mostly RPG (fallout, skyrim, ESO, witcher), first person shooters (doom, COD) and scary games (everything resident evil, evil within, Until dawn (awesome by the way - I've replayed it numerous times)). I pretty much play everything lol.
ETA - my friend also didn't tell her stepson that she was pregnant and one day he walked up to her belly and said "my sister elizabeth is in there right now". It totally freaked her out lol.

@jennifer_louise I have very similar symptoms to you - and we're about a day apart. So hungry all the time and super sore boobs. I'm with you on the napping! But also, knitting, sewing and baking.
EDD/weeks+days: September 24 / 5W4D
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out!
Baby is the size of a(n): brand new no. 2 pencil eraser
Upcoming appointments: This Wednesday with my Family Doctor for blood work and an initial us. Then I'll start looking for an Ob in my area.
How are you feeling? Tired, so tired. I had grand plans to do laundry yesterday and go to the gym, but ended up lazing on the couch for the entire day. DH took over our lunch meal prep for the week which was awesome, and we watched 3 Star Wars movies. Well he watched and I napped on and off through them.
Raves/Rants: I had brunch with my group of friends from high school on Saturday and decided to tell them. But they are under strict instructions from DH that they can't tell anyone because we're waiting to tell out families for awhile still.
Questions: Nope
GTKY: What is your hobby? General crafting... every few months I'll decide to learn something new so I have an endless supply of works in progress stashed around the house - knitting, crochet, embroidery, needlepoint, quilting. I'm trying to make a hobby of cleaning out the house, we have so much stuff and need to de-clutter, but every time I start I get sleepy after 30 minutes and end up napping.
EDD/weeks+days: 9/25 5w3d
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out!!!!!
Baby is the size of a(n): M on the M&Ms
Upcoming appointments:2/25 for everything! I hate waiting but I'm trying to be patient
How are you feeling? Fine, except for sore boobs. I don't remember it being this bad with DS
Raves/Rants: I don't have anything right now. Check back next time!
Questions: none yet.
GTKY: What is your hobby? Crocheting. I am making a ton of baby stuff lately. My office is full of pregnancy right now. It's like they put something in the water!!!
@hp242 hey symptoms buddy! 😂 Wow your weekend sounds amazing! At some point we should definitely start a dedicated crafts thread. Maybe it will inspire us to finish projects! I am into knitting baby blankets lately.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team Finding out!
Baby is the size of a(n): an Appleseed
Upcoming appointments:None yet. I called today and someone is supposed to call me back in a couple days
How are you feeling? Exhausted. Occasionally nauseous and burping. Otherwise not so bad yet. With my other pregnancies I didn't start to really feel sick till about 6 weeks.
Raves/Rants: Ugh I called my OB this morning and the appointment scheduler said I may not be able to see her this pregnancy as she is spending less time in the office and more time with the university. It's a teaching hospital. I really don't want to change OB's!!!! She is the most awesome doctor ever. She is so sweet and caring. She has even called me during non office hours to go over test results with me and make sure I was handling everything ok (last pregnancy was high risk and baby was IUGR and had other things that needed monitoring). I might cry thinking about it, darn pregnancy hormones!!
Questions: None
GTKY: What is your hobby? I like to cook and read but I don't get much reading done nowadays with three kiddos. I also like sleep! hahah
@robyn2201 Ugh that's frustrating about possibly having to change OBs. Are they able to recommend other doctors she works with for you to go meet to see if you get along well with them?
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): apple seed
Upcoming appointments: Just called to make the first one, it's 2/21
How are you feeling? Normal so far! A little constipated.
Raves/Rants: I hate these first few early weeks of pregnancy where I have no symptoms and haven't had an U/S yet. I'm anxious for the first one to come around!
Questions: None
GTKY: What is your hobby? Hmmm... I like cooking, seeing movies, watching sports, traveling.
DS born 9/24/2020
I got the recommendation of my current OB, 8 years ago, from a well known doula in the area. I was looking for hands off, more natural birth friendly OB, and was given her name. I just emailed the doula to see if she has any recommendations. Hopefully she responds before the clinic calls me back.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out!
Baby is the size of a(n): poppy seed!
Upcoming appointments: blood test Wednesday for doctor to confirm pregnancy and then they’ll schedule my other appts.
How are you feeling? Super moody; nauseous one day and great the next.
Raves/Rants: my job is so annoying and makes me angry each day LOL.
Questions:
GTKY: What is your hobby? I like to read, but it more or less ends up I collect books that I never find time to read LOL. I also like nature and being outside.
Two Furbabies: Mika (american eskimo) and Gypsy (wire-haired terrier, dachshund mix)
Twins: Kaiden and Zara born 10/2018 conceived after 6 years of infertility via a medicated IUI
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out. Hoping to have the screening test that I did with my son so I can learn as early as possible.
Upcoming appointments: February 14th, first appointment and ultrasound. I have a love/hate relationship with ultrasounds. I’d like to know if the baby is doing well but I’m weirdly and illogically paranoid about the procedure itself.
How are you feeling? Good, few symptoms which makes me a little anxious🙂
Raves/Rants: We have a situation in our family that is in limbo and it’s hard to be patient waiting for the resolution.
GTKY: What is your hobby? Reading, watching unedifying Bravo shows, and puzzles.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team Green, we found out for my first two (both boys) but for some reason I want to wait until the baby is born to know.
Baby is the size of a(n): Dot snail 🐌
Upcoming appointments: 2/17, ultrasound and nurse/dr appointment
How are you feeling? Over all pretty good. My boobs are still extremely sore, peeing all the time, and exhausted.
Raves/Rants: Not having as much insomnia so happy to finally be getting a good nights rest.
Questions: None at the moment.
GTKY: What is your hobby? I love watching reality TV, especially the shows on Bravo. I hate drama in real life but love watching it.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming appointments: Just had my intake yesterday and went well. MFM on 2/25 and OB on 2/27
How are you feeling? Nausea and gagging with dry heaves. So so tired.
Raves/Rants: I need to tell my principal at some point soon. She loves me but I'm still nervous she'll be irritated that I'll miss the beginning of the year next year.
Questions: Nope
GTKY: What is your hobby? Running! Today was day 247 of my run streak!
@linz36 hello fellow gamer! Do you plan on playing outerworlds? Gives me a fallout vibe! I just started playing and I really like it so far!!

Baby is the size of a(n): corn kernel
Upcoming appointments: 2/12 for dating scan. Going to a new ob that delivers at a different hospital so I'm interested to see how they do things.
How are you feeling? Sooo much worse from my pregnancies with my sons. I am having a hard time keeping anything down and the worst part is the urge to puke hits between 1-4am. Between the lack of sleep and the acne, I look crazy.
Raves/Rants: I sleep during my 1yo's 2 naps and go to bed by 8. Not sure if that's a rant or a rave lol
Questions: really gross, but anyone have sulphur burps as a symptom? Is there something I can do to avoid them?
GTKY: What is your hobby? Cross stitch, and I am learning to quilt. I also enjoy reading. I'm currently reading Starsight by Brandon Sanderson and Memoirs of a Geisha.
@linz36 Elder Scrolls has taken up so many hours of my life lol
@elsie42 I love everything Bravo...it's just so addicting

@robinj716 @linz36 I'm in the book collecting club too! Slowly working my way through my 2019 collection.
@robyn2201 glad to see your OB issue was sorted
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding Out
Baby is the size of a(n): lentil
Upcoming appointments: 1st appointment is 2/13 and feels like it is months away
How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good. Breasts are a bit sore today, but aside from that I don't have many symptoms to report.
Raves/Rants: Really want to tell our immediate families (and my best friend), but deciding to wait until after the first appointment... Lot of excited nerves for the 1st appt, really hope we can get an ultrasound. On the other hand, I hate needles and don't want them to take blood. Guess I have to get used to that...
Questions: What should I expect at first doctor's appt? I will be around 7ish weeks.
GTKY: What is your hobby? Love baking, playing D&D, watching netflix and sci-fi shows.
