    Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 4/26, 5 weeks! 

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: poppyseed

    Upcoming appointments: 9/19

    How are you feeling?: Pretty good today! I took a magnesium supplement before bed last night (natural calm) and I slept better than I have in about a week. 

    Rants/Raves: Stopped at a grocery store coming back from the playground and when we were buckling in, one of the carts from a cart collector got away and bumped my car. I went around to check and mentioned it to them like "you know this just bumped my car?" and then he said "it's ok" and patted my shoulder. I did not like it. I get to decide if it's ok since you didn't even notice it happen and also please don't touch me, stranger man. Ugh. I mean the car was OK but still. 

    Questions: has anyone been thinking of names? Before I was pregnant with my son we had picked out one girl name and one boy name. 

    GTKY: What was your favorite place you traveled or your best vacation? Oooh I like this question! We went to Kauai for my son's 1st and 3rd birthdays, and both times we took grandparents with us! (one year my parents and another year my MIL). It was soooo wonderful and I would like to do it again someday haha. Also, I just joined this group yesterday and wanted to chime into everything and get to know everyone! So apologies if anything feels repetitive 🙈.

    Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 4/25 5 weeks and 1 day

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: baby is the size of an apple seed

    Upcoming appointments: First ultrasound on 8/29

    How are you feeling? Pregnancy wise I’m very tired and get lots of headaches, but I’ll take all the symptoms 

    Rants/Raves: We used IVF to get pregnant so I’m thrilled! Im so excited this transfer worked!

    Questions: How are you all not telling everyone you see? Lol it’s my first and it’s so hard to not to share with the world 

    GTKY: What was your favorite place you traveled or your best vacation? Just this summer we went to Italy and Greece as a break in fertility treatments and it was an amazing trip. Amazing food and sites, it was a perfect vacation to reconnect!

    Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: End of April, somewhere around 4 weeks/just shy of 5? I have PCOS and my cycles are wacky, plus we weren't trying so I don't know for sure

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Poppyseed!

    Upcoming appointments: September 13th for nurse visit/history, September 27th for ultrasound 

    How are you feeling?: Nervous. I hate finding out so early because it really is just a waiting game to know everything is okay, and my first appointment to see the bean is so late. Also chasing my 17 month old around definitely makes it harder.

    Rants/Raves: The cramping! I know it's normal but it freaks me out and I'm paranoid I'll go to the bathroom and find blood. On the flip side, as much as morning sickness sucks, it makes me feel better. I get mine at night so that's fun. We're also telling my in-laws tonight! We got my daughter a shirt that says "I have a secret to tell you" on the front and "I'm going to be a big sister" on the back. We're going to see how long it takes them to notice.

    Questions: For those of you that have had more than one already, did you still get breast tenderness? That's what clued me in the first time, and nothing so far but I'm guessing it might be because I'm still breastfeeding.

    GTKY: What was your favorite place you traveled or your best vacation? New Orleans with my husband! We had only been together about 4 months, and it was hard to get off work because we worked together but it was so much fun! My first vacation that wasn't with my family and we had so much fun.

    jtayl962 I won't have my first ultrasound until September 27th, so pretty far along!

    @applesandbananas23 we started talking names. I am rethinking the boy name we have picked out

    @leamarai I get a tiny cramping at times too. I also feel discharge a lot more which gets me seconding guessing if I will see blood when I wipe

    Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: April 12/ 7 weeks today (got my dating ultrasound today, but it’s still a bit early so this may change)

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: blueberry

    Upcoming appointments: had dating ultrasound today. Nothing til 12 week bloodwork/ultrasound for genetic screening. 

    How are you feeling?: not just like garbage… no… more like the whole garbage truck. So sick, but thankfully the meds have started so it’s a BIT better. And so tired. Like absolutely exhausted and not able to function. But so so so damn grateful for it all. 

    Rants/Raves: just feeling amazed that I got to see a precious little bean today, with a tiny little heartbeat. I’m amazed. 

    Questions: none

    GTKY: What was your favorite place you traveled or your best vacation? I’m a big fan of Disneyland !!! But also have loved some All Inclusive Dominican Republic vacay too :)

    Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 04/22 5w4d

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: sesame seed

    Upcoming appointments: 08/28

    How are you feeling? All over the place! The last few days have been nausea, vomiting, and just bleh. It’s been hard to find stuff I can eat!

    Rants/Raves: Just ready for it to be Monday (said no one ever). First scan is Monday, so I’m very anxious.

    Questions: If you already have a kiddo, how long did you wait before you announced you were pregnant?

    GTKY: What was your favorite place you traveled or your best vacation? Took a trip to Cozumel and stayed at an all-inclusive resort. So much fun! Would definitely do it again.

    @missniecey I didn't announce it until I was 13 weeks. I had 2 miscarriages prior to my daughter being born. The very first pregnancy I told so many people to turn around to tell them we had miscarried. This time we just told immediate family and I told my Supervisor and Coworker because we work in the same area everyday.

    Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days:  due 4/6, 8w0d today 

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a raspberry and weighs the same as a jelly bean 

    Upcoming appointments:  I’ve already had two scans, the first because of bleeding/cramping. The second to confirm viability because the first scan was just an empty sac. After a long two weeks between, I was so relieved to see a little nugget with a heart beat! I go for my initial MD appointment with another scan 9/6 I’ll be about 9.5 weeks then. 

    How are you feeling?:  soooo tired. I could sleep all day every day. Only mild nausea thankfully. Super bloated and boobs hurt like heck.  

    Rants/Raves:  nothing to really rant or rave about. Just thankful I have a little bean in my belly 🙂

    Questions:  anyone else going to have a 10 year (or similar) age gap between this kid and your last? I’m thinking it’ll be a good thing? 😬

    GTKY: What was your favorite place you traveled or your best vacation?  Id have to say when we flew out to Arizona and did the Grand Canyon, antelope canyon, horseshoe bend, valley of fire, and different adventures out that way. The landscape is soooo different from where I am in the south east. Almost felt like a different planet.

    Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 4/26, 5+1

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: orange seed

    Upcoming appointments: 9/8 I get my first viability scan

    How are you feeling?: so grateful to be pregnant but also fearful about the fact that I can’t control the outcome. I check the miscarriage reassures website every morning to look at the odds of not miscarrying increase. Also feel very tired with on and off nausea and heart burn

    Rants/Raves: just how slowly time is moving. I can’t wait until the viability scan where I can hear if there’s a heartbeat

    Questions: anyone want to share cute ways of how they told their parents they were pregnant? I’m stumped

    GTKY: What was your favorite place you traveled or your best vacation? Our honeymoon in Greece was the trip of a lifetime. We island hopped and stayed at 5 star resorts. We even had our own private pool in one. It was the perfect mix of activities and relaxation. And the food was incredible!!
