I’m just going to post one instead of by EDD since there are so few of us here yet 
Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days:
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of:
Upcoming appointments:
How are you feeling?:
Rants/Raves:
Questions:
GTKY: What shows are you watching right now and what are some of your recent favorites?
Re: Weekly Check In 2/1
I decided to make an 8 week appointment to hear the heartbeat instead of going in at 6 weeks. I feel like mentally an appointment where I may potentially see a baby but not hear heartbeat will just totally mess with my head. But that appointment isn’t until March 4th and I can’t imagine another month of this emotional rollercoaster.
GTKY: Currently watching WandaVision which is super strange but I’m liking it and excited for what it could turn into (Any Marvel fans out there?). Recent recommendations: The Queens Gambit (Netflix) is SO GOOD. Ted Lasso (Apple) is light hearted and heart warming and amazing. The Mandalorian (Disney) was awesome. For All Mankind (Apple) was so good too and I’m ready to watch it again 🤣
Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: October 3rd based on LMP, likely to change based on dating US because I ovulated late, but 5+2 based on this.
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Appleseed at 5 weeks!
Upcoming appointments: Feb 18th for dating US and initial OB, after that will schedule with MFM
How are you feeling?: Physically not much, mild nausea yesterday. I also have already switched to maternity underwear and pants because I already have aching with waistbands which I don’t fully understand. I had the same thing last time, but from what I can see this isn’t common. I haven’t gained any weight and the embryo is still tiny, so I’m not going to pretend I have a bump or anything, it just feels better to have nothing pressing in.
Rants/Raves: No real rants or raves, just still feeling very nervous!
Questions: Anyone else rocking maternity wear yet?
GTKY: What shows are you watching right now and what are some of your recent favorites? Currently watching my guilty pleasure “90 Day Fiancé” but I’m not sure I’d recommend it unless you want an addiction to trash haha. Things I actually recommend: Victoria on Prime, Mandalorian on Disney+, and Schitts Creek (I’m way late to this, but have been binging and I love it!)
@kitandcat With you on wishing I had symptoms to reassure me! But truly not looking forward to MS again. I hate feeling nauseated.
Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 10/6 based on LMP, which I guess makes me 4 weeks and a few days.
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Visible but barely.
Upcoming appointments: Next Monday which seems crazy to me BUT I'm overdue my annual exam so I think it's just that + blood test. I hope so anyway, then hopefully 2 wks after that for u/s, then another 2 weeks for NPT.
How are you feeling?: Surprised, even though we were kind of trying. Cautious. Nauseas, but is that in my head?
Rants/Raves: Snow day today! Daycare is closed! DD is so cute and I love spending time with her! But I have trial Wed! And need to prep! And it's going to suck balls.
Questions: YES I cannot update my signature or anything? When I hover over the profile pic in the top right it must be buggy because it goes View Profile - Preferences - and then there's just an empty place before the next section. And I think that empty place should say "edit." Any ideas? ETA: yeah I know this isn't a baby/pregnant question, but it's still a question!
GTKY: What shows are you watching right now and what are some of your recent favorites? I watch too much TV... yesterday I started Wandavision and Rupaul's Drag Race (season 13) so I'll say those for now.
@kitandcat - one post is great! I was going to do the same thing, but since I'm on the west coast, I'm always a little late to the party.
Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 10/10 so I'm 4+1
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: size of a waterbear aka a creepy looking tiny bug thing that can survive the vacuum of space
Upcoming appointments: just scheduled it for March 1st! This is the earliest in any of my pregnancies that I've gotten a first appointment, so I'm pretty stoked.
How are you feeling?: tired, stupid - words are hard right now, definitely sensitive to smells already, feeling sick when I eat greasy/junky food, so right about on par for me
Rants/Raves: This is the third time I've been pregnant in just over a year. Each time I freaked out about the slow progression of my line darkening (or not darkening) on my pee sticks. Granted, one of those times I was correct. This weekend I just realized that this isn't because there is something wrong, it's because I have short LPs. I was basing everything in relation to when AF was due, not thinking that a positive the day after my missed period was the same thing as a positive on DPO 12. Of course my lines are slow to darken when I'm testing that early. Where's my dunce cap?
Questions: nope
GTKY: What shows are you watching right now and what are some of your recent favorites? right now we're watching Servant which is pretty creepy. About to re-watch Derry Girls because it is so funny but way too short.
@cait32 - I love shows about childbirth (and pregnancy and baby development) too. There's a PBS special "9 Months that Made You" that I really enjoyed, but would not recommend watching while pregnant. It goes into a lot of weird stuff that can happen.
Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 10/8 so I’m like 4 weeks? I think?
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: poppyseed !
Upcoming appointments: March 4th for new OB and US
How are you feeling?: Good! Shocked, but good.
Rants/Raves: I forgot how awful the bump app is to use on my phone!
Questions: none right now
GTKY: What shows are you watching right now and what are some of your recent favorites?
LOVED Bridgerton on Netflix! Now I’m looking for something to fill the void
Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 10/15 so 3w+3
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: currently the size of a chia seed
Upcoming appointments: I have a PCP appt scheduled mid month for check up so I’ll probably see if I can get some bloodwork then. My first OB appt is 3/4
How are you feeling?: Overall pretty hood. Sore breasts is about the only possible symptom I might have.
Rants/Raves: My toddler is in the phase of going from saying “No” to scream growling so that’s been a fun transition at home... NOT. Today I was tempted to growl back
Questions: NA
GTKY: What shows are you watching right now and what are some of your recent favorites? Currently watching The Crown, it’s really food. Queens Gambit and Bridgerton were amazing. I’m also usually a Bachelor/Bachelorette fan but I vs g get into it lately. It’s way too much bully drama fit me.
