How are you feeling:
Pretty good so far. Sore boobs, mild cramping. I think there is a hint of nausea but I don’t know if that’s just in my head because I always have crippling morning sickness starting around 5 to 6 weeks. Still in a bit of disbelief. I took another test today and it was darker than the previous ones so I think I’m starting to let it sink in
Rants / Raves:
My rave is that I still have good energy. I got a really solid workout in this morning and mI’m nutrition has been good. Taking it one day at a time

How are you feeling:
Just extra tired all the time. Nauseous most of the time, but not actually getting sick. Constantly feel hungry but when I try to eat, I don't feel like eating. My body can't make up its mind.
Rants / Raves:
I've got acne all of a sudden, so that's fun. Didn't have that with my other 3 pregnancies.

Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of:
Baby is about the size of the teeny hole in the baby bottle nipple. The same baby bottles (that if this baby is like my others), they will not be entertaining whatsoever haha sigh.
Upcoming appointments:
3 weeks from today. Geez is it just me or do these initial appointments book out super late? Just to confirm being pregnant?
How are you feeling:
Very meh. Anxious, nervous, scared, frustrated. I'm crampy today too so that's not helping.
Rants / Raves:
Back to work today after a 5 day anniversary trip with DH and I'm not into it at all. Also my MIL is coming into town this weekend and will *definitely* notice me not drinking so I need to come up with a game plan to divert her attention, because we don't feel ready to tell her yet.
I'm getting into planning for my DS 7th birthday later this month and I'll be excited to bring my focus onto that instead of how I'm an emotional wreck for a minute!
Questions:
How soon are you guys breaking the news to your fam?
@chrissdee My oldest will be 7 this month! Boy or girl?
@ashsowers2020 ughhh hopefully nausea won't be as bad this time around!! I'm nervous because I remember feeling worse with my 2nd pregnancy than my 1st, but hopefully theres a cap on how bad we could potentially feel haha.
I still need to tell my husband 😂😅. I’ll probably tell my mom and sister shortly after I tell him lol. My mom will low key tell everyone else in the family cause she cannot keep a secret 😂 I’ll let my husband decide when to tell the in-laws. Everyone else after my first ultrasound or until I can’t hide it anymore lol.
FTM/STM/STM+: FTM
Team Boy/Girl/Surprise: Team Surprise! (except as a planner we'll see if I can hold out haha)

Rants / Raves: My rave is that I was offered a promotion this week so that plus positive pregnancy tests have led to a pretty exciting week.

I'm a planner too and was convinced my first PG that I had to find out to keep my anxiety in check. But I managed to wait and it was truly the best surprise of our lives (both times). Highly recommend if you can hold out!
