Re: Weekly Check-In: 9/12/22
EDD / Weeks + Days: 6W3D
Baby is the size of a: chocolate chip
Team blue/pink/green: finding out
Upcoming Appointments: first appt 9/29
How are you feeling?: Weirdly normal. I can see why some women don't realize they're pregnant until a few months in. I'm not going to complain about a lack of nausea and fatigue, but it's unsettling that I don't feel much different other than enlarged breasts and having to pee more often. It makes me wonder if the baby is even growing.
Rants/Raves: I think this is finally the week I have to start catching up on six months' worth of work because of a pricing freeze that took forever to resolve. And I have half of Wednesday off to go to a baseball game!
Questions: Has anyone else had a super mild first trimester?
GTKY: When it comes to fall, are you team apple, team pumpkin, or team maple? Even though I have pumpkins in my garden (that should be ready to pick soon!), DD and I made an amazing apple pie yesterday. Hopefully our family can go apple picking at the orchard near my in-laws' soon!
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
EDD / Weeks + Days: 4w2d
Baby is the size of a: poppy seed
Team blue/pink/green: finding out
Upcoming Appointments: 9/26
How are you feeling?: Anxious, but mostly okay. My stomach has been upset off and on and I've had some trouble sleeping at night.
Rants/Raves: I took a nap each day this weekend and I swear I could have slept for 12 hours straight. But when I lay down at night, I wake up every hour or two. Not my favorite.
Questions: None today
GTKY: When it comes to fall, are you team apple, team pumpkin, or team maple? Probably apple! I like maple too, but I don't necessarily associate it with fall.
EDD / Weeks + Days: May 6; 6w2d
Baby is the size of a: sweet pea- I love this week because that was my nickname from my dad growing up
Team blue/pink/green: def not green lol
Upcoming Appointments: bloodwork 9/29 and first appointment 10/7
How are you feeling?: not bad, which makes me nervous, but trying to be happy. SO many potty trips, and I’m exhausted though.
Rants/Raves: baseball scheduling is my rant. It’s supposed to start this week and coaches still have not been told when they can schedule practice. Everyone picked the same day, which obviously doesn’t work. It makes us (husband is coach, I’m team mom) look bad because we either can’t give info or have to keep changing it. Get it together, peeps!
Questions:
GTKY: When it comes to fall, are you team apple, team pumpkin, or team maple? Yes. Lol. I love pumpkin pie and donuts, apple cider and maple bacon donuts 😂
EDD / Weeks + Days: 5/13 5w2d
Baby is the size of a: lentil
Team blue/pink/green: finding out
Upcoming Appointments: I need to call my OB today to schedule 8 week scan
How are you feeling?: TIRED
Rants/Raves: We had our 2nd wedding in two weeks on Saturday and it was wonderful! And I am so happy our incredibly busy 8 weeks is now over and we can get to a routine.
Questions:
GTKY: When it comes to fall, are you team apple, team pumpkin, or team maple? I like all of them! I feel like pumpkin flavor has gotten too sweet lately though! Probably Maple, pumpkin and then apple!
EDD / Weeks + Days: 5 weeks 6 days
Baby is the size of a: apple seed
Team blue/pink/green: finding out
Upcoming Appointments: 9/29
How are you feeling?: no major symptoms
Rants/Raves: hard to keep it a secret to everyone ! People end up guessing if I am not drinking alcohol at an event.
Questions: how much coffee is okay to have ?? I think I am being overly cautious and not really having any.
GTKY: When it comes to fall, are you team apple, team pumpkin, or team maple? Apple
BTW, it might be a good idea for you to change your username to something easier to tag!
EDD / Weeks + Days: 4w2d
Baby is the size of a: peppercorn
Team blue/pink/green: finding out with NIPT at 10-11 weeks
Upcoming Appointments: October 7, not until 8w. But the minute I start feeling sick I'm calling for diclegis
How are you feeling?: not pregnant
Rants/Raves: excited!
Questions: none
GTKY: When it comes to fall, are you team apple, team pumpkin, or team maple? Oh man. This is tough. But fall isn't actually maple season! Maple syrup is made in Feb/March. So apple for me. I do like pumpkin things (but not a huge fan of pumpkin spice.)
@hestia-is-wearie I never start getting sick until 6w or so, so it's been mild for me so far...
knottie, can't tag you but I think up to 200mg is fine, so like two cups a day

EDD / Weeks + Days: 4w2d
Baby is the size of a: pfffft
Team blue/pink/green: green
Upcoming Appointments: I endured 20 min of hold music to make my first appointment in mid-October. (Luckily for follow-ups I can request appointments online and it’s much faster, but for the first one I had to call.)
How are you feeling?: Basically no symptoms. I’m tired but I’m always tired, lol.
Rants/Raves: rant: password changes. I got locked out of work today over just my password expiring and I find this kinda stressful. Now I gotta go in early tomorrow to reset my password because of the work I wasn’t able to do this afternoon.
Questions: none
GTKY: When it comes to fall, are you team apple, team pumpkin, or team maple? Pumpkin! I love decorating for fall.
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
EDD / Weeks + Days: 6w6d
Baby is the size of a: honeybee
Team blue/pink/green: can’t wait to find out
Upcoming Appointments: first ultrasound tomorrow
How are you feeling?: my boobs are sore, and the last couple of days I’ve been nauseous more and more during the day. At night even though I’m super tired, I’m having a rough time staying asleep, worst nausea seems to hit around 4-6am.
Rants/Raves: I currently live in an apartment building and my upstairs neighbors are killing me with their awful perfume and cheap cologne drenching the hallways.
Questions: NATM
GTKY: When it comes to fall, are you team apple, team pumpkin, or team maple? I used to be squarely in the middle between apple and pumpkin but we found out this year that DS is allergic to apple so I’ve been leaning into the pumpkin side lately
EDD / Weeks + Days: edd May 11 / 5w4d
Baby is the size of an: orange seed
Team blue/pink/green: finding out, but fun fact: I identify as non-binary myself. Still interested in finding out
Upcoming Appointments: first appt on 9/27
How are you feeling?: pretty ok! Very minor cramps, like a mild period (but no blood!), occasional headaches, fatigue on and off. Thought I’d be feeling more by now, even though I know it’s early.
Rants/Raves: it was sooo humid today. Can’t wait for actual fall weather.
Questions: how do I know if they’re doing an ultrasound at my first visit? I didn’t think to ask any questions when I scheduled. I’m trying to decide if my partner should come. I’ll be nearly 8 weeks. Do you think they’ll do one?
GTKY: When it comes to fall, are you team apple, team pumpkin, or team maple? I love them all and actually I have a dog named Maple so team Maple forever.
DD #2: May 2020
Baby #3: EDD May 2023; MC October 2022
Also, I know it's normal to not feel pregnant 100% of the time when it's so early.

My first trimester with my now 2.5 yr old son was super easy and didn't even know I was pregnant. I was 11 weeks when I found out and dated at 14 weeks 1 day. Only sign I had that I didn't even think anything of was the missed cycle. Thought my body was getting use to not being pregnant (since I miscarried in March and was pregnant again by June).
