EDD / Weeks + Days: 5 weeks 3 days

Baby is the size of a(n): apple seed

Team blue/pink/green: already a member of pink & blue, so leaning green and being surprised. Still surprised to be here so it feels right.

Upcoming Appointments: Blood draw next Tues to check HCG levels, and still trying to figure out first appt with a new OB

How are you feeling?: Fine for the most part, just completely exhausted by 3pm. And periods of insomnia at night so just tired overall.

Rants/Raves: We moved since my last pregnancy so trying to decide on a new OB practice and getting people's advice without tipping anyone off to the pregnancy this soon has been tricky. 2 new local practices can't get me in until July when I'm supposed to be on a family vacation. My previous practice (only 45 mins away) is doing my bloodwork next week (as is their standard practice and it will give me more peace of mind). The 2 new practices don't do any blood draws before the first appointment. So it's looking like I won't be able to get in for an initial visit with ultrasound until after my family vacation late July at 12 weeks, which has me anxious since I'll be with extended family and would prefer to have a little good news before then.

Questions: none at the moment

GTKY: What is the best meal you've ever eaten? Tough, but most recently we tried out a tasting menu for our anniversary last month at a local french/american spot with wine pairings. While the portions were small, every single course was amazing!

EDD / Weeks + Days: 5 w 3 D

Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed

Team blue/pink/green: This is number 4 and we’ve always found out, but I think we are going to stay team green this time around - eek!!

Upcoming Appointments: initial appt 6/23 - my OB doesn’t usually do initial appts until week 8-10, but I developed hypothyroidism after my last pregnancy, so they wanted to see me a couple weeks earlier.

How are you feeling?: SO tired and SO nauseous the last couple of days. I’ve had a mix of insomnia and weird dreams from a couple days before I even got a positive test, ha.

Rants/Raves: Just the tiredness and nausea. I got some ginger candies that do help - hopefully enough to get me through our vacation next week!

Questions: none

GTKY: What is the best meal you've ever eaten? Food sounds so gross right now, I can’t even think of an answer to that.

nicguilmain · June 2022

EDD / Weeks + Days: 5 Feb - 5 wks 4 days

Baby is the size of a(n): sesame/apple seed (two apps say different things? Those seem pretty big differences so who knows?

Team blue/pink/green: um don’t know yet but I think we’ll find out but are doing a neutral nursery, as a toddler I violently hated pink so I’m just gonna let baby tell me who they are :)

Upcoming Appointments: 24 June I have ultrasound and 1st prenatal, went to confirm on 30 May after a positive pregnancy test on 29 May

How are you feeling?: tired, mild cramps - HOLY SORE BOOBS BATMAN.

Rants/Raves: work is slow, it’s hard to distract myself from being anxious in these early weeks and it’s my first pregnancy at 40 so boy am I anxious, I guess I’ll feel better if everything seems good after our first appointment

Questions: is it normal to have no interest in food? Before I got pregnant I was a foodie perfectionist but for the last few weeks I’m like “ugh… too much work, nothing appeals. Ok cheerios.

GTKY: What is the best meal you've ever eaten? Hard to say right now, had some fantastic charcuterie in France on my honeymoon, um, oh well also BBQ’d pizza (margherita) maybe, like I said food is just uninteresting to me right now, but not queasy, just not hungry.

*same to anyone who isn’t feeling food right now

ladykaty91 · June 2022

EDD / Weeks + Days: EDD Feb 5th

Baby is the size of a(n): peppercorn!

Team blue/pink/green: Hoping for blue, but will be happy for a healthy baby no matter what. We have a 2yo girl

Upcoming Appointments: 6/27 right around 8 weeks!

How are you feeling?: Sleepy 😴 and a bit anxious. I had a MMC in December around 10 weeks, but loss occurred around week 6 so just trying to patiently wait for that first Appt to get excited. But to be fair, I’m already incredibly excited for this little one 💕

Rants/Raves: We just moved to 10 hour shifts at work and I’m dyingggg. I can’t wait to be able to tell work so I don’t have to try to hide my symptoms so much, lol

Questions:

GTKY: What is the best meal you've ever eaten? I just love food, lol. But right now what comes to mind is the omelette I had after my daughter was born 😆 I’ve definitely got baby on the brain, but man that first meal is incredible haha

tessiesmom26 · June 2022

EDD / Weeks + Days: Feb 1st, 6w1d

Baby is the size of a(n): Sweet pea

Team blue/pink/green: We were team green for DS, but I'm thinking I want to find out this time..

Upcoming Appointments: Had an US yesterday, so Monday I have a follow up with my OB regarding that. He called and said everything looks fantastic (measuring exactly 6 weeks with a heartbeat of 107) so it's just a formality. Have another US scheduled for next Thursday, and follow up with OB on Friday. Baring it all goes well, I get to "graduate" to regular prenatal care!

How are you feeling?: I have a sinus infection, pink eye, and a double ear infection right now, so I feel like crap honestly. Food doesn't sound appealing at all right now, and my boobs are a bit sore, especially at night, but otherwise feeling okay.

Rants/Raves: I have so much to do at work but focusing right now is a serious struggle..

Questions: None at the moment

GTKY: What is the best meal you've ever eaten? I have no clue lol. Not sure why I used this question seeing as I don't even have a good answer lol.

krb99 · June 2022

EDD / Weeks + Days: 3w6d I think?

Baby is the size of a(n): the feeling when you go pfft. the depth of a piece of paper.

Team blue/pink/green: green for this one, already have one girl

Upcoming Appointments: Haven’t made one yet because I’m waiting to complete blood tests to see if I should get myself a “New OB” visit or a “this pregnancy didn’t get very far” visit. I did get a telephone visit to get the blood tests ordered though.

How are you feeling?: Completely normal, which could be very typical for being a minute pregnant or a SiGn Of iMpEnDiNg DoOm I know it’s normal to feel normal before you’ve even missed a period. But I just had a chemical pregnancy where I wrung my hands for three weeks over being symptomless before I finally started bleeding so I won’t really feel better about this one until I feel worse?

Rants/Raves: I simply do not have any chill about pregnancy. I veer from being excited happy to panicked paranoid to intellectually nihilistic to ashamed for being “this way.” If I were another way I simply wouldn’t even know yet that I was pregnant and then I wouldn’t be so worried I had something to lose. But, it’s probably good I tested instead of drinking the wine I was planning on drinking before taking the test thinking, “this will be negative but just in case.” I do not want to feel my feelings and it is rude of them to sit there and wait for me.

Questions: Mostly existential ones.

GTKY: What is the best meal you've ever eaten?

My grandfather once made Cornish hens for Christmas dinner, and he was a really good cook, but also it was absolutely mind blowing to me as a kid that chickens could be that small, so it’s possible that’s why I thought they were amazing. There were also stuffed mushrooms that were somehow better than all other stuffed mushrooms I have ever come across, and I have failed multiple times to imitate them. Maybe nothing will ever be able to beat the nostalgia. Maybe he had a really good recipe. I think it was the last Christmas we had “Christmas dinner,” because after that year we started only doing Christmas breakfast (which is awesome but always made us too full to really enjoy a big dinner later).

lolly-pop · June 2022

EDD / Weeks + Days: 2/13, 5wk 0d

Baby is the size of a(n): appleseed

Team blue/pink/green: I'm hoping pink, husband is hoping blue (having a girl terrifies him)

Upcoming Appointments: Med Discussion with my OB because I have a complicated medical history and they need to assess each of my meds.

How are you feeling?: Exhausted, and a bit nervous. I haven't been pregnant in 4 years and it ended in a MMC, so I'm a bit anxious to say the least.

Rants/Raves: I am so happy about our BFP, but the timing wasn't great. I found out 4 days before DS went to his dad's for his summer visitation, so now I don't even have my best form of distraction for the early week anxieties. 🥴

Questions: How did I possibly forget all the pregnancy stuff already? DS ins't that old, is he?

GTKY: What is the best meal you've ever eaten? It might be because we are living in Japan right now, but there is nothing better than a really good, warm bowl of ramen! 🤤

Questions: nothing I can think of right now

GTKY: What is the best meal you've ever eaten? A spicy seafood pasta with a tomato based sauce I had in Australia… I have never found another dish that compared.

Questions: none at the moment :)

GTKY: What is the best meal you've ever eaten? I had a tuna melt panini earlier and it might have been the best thing ive ever eaten lol
