    EDD / Weeks + Days: 8/16 (8w4d)

    FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

    Baby is the size of a (an): peanut m&m 

    Team blue/pink/green: green

    Upcoming Appointments: phone intake with OB next Wednesday 1/17

    How are you feeling?: if I sit on the couch and do nothing all day I feel okay lol. However, that’s impossible so I’m feeling a little nauseous and tired. Really nothing too terrible yet though. 

    Rants/Raves: My 2 year old comes into bed with us halfway through the night, and last night she made it all the way until 4am before coming in! However then she had a nightmare about who knows what an hour later and was yelling “mine, mine, no!” In her sleep which was not ideal lol.

    Questions: NATM 

    GTKY: What’s your resolution this year? I’m not usually a resolution person, but I really want to bake more bread this year! My BIL gifted me a sourdough starter at Christmas but I feel like I already killed it lol

    EDD / Weeks + Days: 8/3, 10+3

    FTM/STM/TTM+: 4th time mom

    Baby is the size of a (an): strawberry

    Team blue/pink/green: green

    Upcoming Appointments: I have my first actual OB appointment this Friday 1/12. Already had private ultrasound to get a sneak peek at baby.

    How are you feeling?: Up and down. During the day I generally feel pretty good but once evening hits I start to feel crappy. Not super nauseous, but I will have food aversions, gross taste in my mouth, fatigue and just generally feeling blah. Also occasional insomnia.

    Rants/Raves: I had insomnia last night (woke up to pee around 1:30 and took forever to fall  back asleep) and now definitely feeling the effects. It has only been happening about once every couple of weeks but started when I got pregnant so I’m hoping it doesn’t become a regular thing during this pregnancy.

    Questions: none

    GTKY: What’s your resolution this year? Wanting to be more mindful of my spending habits.

    EDD / Weeks + Days: 8+2 (by estimate still no US yet)

    FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM

    Baby is the size of a (an):

    Team blue/pink/green: not sure yet, but we will find out when the time comes

    Upcoming Appointments: virtual visit on Thursday morning for first appointment 

    How are you feeling?: I feel ok. Food aversions are so weird right now. DH is traveling for work this week so tonight I made the kids and I breakfast for dinner and had a stack of pancakes. I can’t stomach the thought of most of the things we normally eat. 

    Rants/Raves: my older two are 7 and 5 and they don’t know yet because I don’t want to share anything with them until we are absolutely certain and also until we are ready for the whole world to know. But at the same time, they cannot simply just allow me a minutes rest when I am bone tired and it’s driving me crazy. 

    Questions: have you all had ultrasounds yet? I feel like that was so early last time but I don’t even have one scheduled yet?

    GTKY: What’s your resolution this year? To read more and to eat healthy (obviously made that before I knew )

    EDD / Weeks + Days: 8+3

    FTM/STM/TTM+: STM (+1 stepson)

    Baby is the size of a (an): pinto bean 

    Team blue/pink/green: will find out with the NIPT test

    Upcoming Appointments: 1/23, did a sneak peek while visiting Hawaii v to check on everything. 

    How are you feeling?: very nauseous, tired. Everything stinks to the extreme and makes me gag.

    Rants/Raves: Rant- nothing sounds good and I'm cooking dinner for my family and in laws.  All I want to do is eat ramen every night. Rave- Hawaii was a nice getaway (and small peek at the baby) despite quite a few downfalls (sickness for several of us and the place we stayed was much more like camping than a hotel.)

    Questions: Anyone take Zofran for much of a pregnancy? I only did a few days with my last pregnancy and endured being sick for 11 weeks. I don't think I can do it again with a toddler this time. 

    GTKY: What’s your resolution this year? I chose an intentional word for this year,  "believe". I tend to worry and over think things so I hope this word will help be more positive and hopeful.

    @optimisticoctopus ohh, baked bread sounds so good.  I have a bread machine that I'd like to use more (currently only use it to make pizza dough for our ooni pizza oven).
    @annabanana051416 have you tried unisom for your insomnia? I take it for my nausea but maybe it'll help you? 
    @theneno1012 I went to get an early ultrasound at an independent place because I didn't want to wait till my 10 week appt. With my first,  I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks. 
    @whitneyco2011 yes! Start a baby bump pic thread!!

    EDD / Weeks + Days: 7 weeks, 1 day
    FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM.
    Baby is the size of a (an): Blueberry
    Team blue/pink/green: not sure 
    Upcoming Appointments: January 18. Very excited because last time I had a chemical pregnancy. Feeling hopeful this time around and staying in the moment.
    How are you feeling?: Very fatigued, crying randomly for no reason, brief and mild waves of nausea. Grateful for nearly daily
    naps.
    Rants/Raves: Rant: Stressed about having to figure out how to fly home to tell our parents but determined to wait until after the confirmation scan so we don’t tempt fate. Rave: my husband and I are just so excited and happy. 
    Questions: Nothing pressing! 
    GTKY: What’s your resolution this year? More like a goal or intention but it’s to speak kindly to myself. I’m amazing and doing amazing things and don’t need to be negative to myself or too harsh.

    @AnnaBanana0327 I definitely feel worse at night too, same with my last pregnancy. Whoever created the term morning sickness clearly did not have a large enough sample size lol

    @theneno1012 I've had 4 ultrasounds already but that’s what you get with IVF at my clinic haha. My next official one won’t be until my NIPT scan, but I’m going to try to talk my OB into giving me a peace of mind appointment because anxiety 

    @sunshinekate714 I like your resolution- I’ve been trying to be less hard on myself in the past couple years and it has helped my mental health tremendously! You ARE doing amazing things!

    Upcoming Appointments: ultrasound at 9 weeks, OB the beginning of February 

    How are you feeling?: I'm feeling good must of the time with occasional mild nausea.

    EDD / Weeks + Days: 8/31 6+6. Although I have a feeling I may have ovulated late

    FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM 🤞, fourth pregnancy 

    Baby is the size of a (an): uhhh I can't remember 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Team blue/pink/green: green! I want to be surprised this time. 

    Upcoming Appointments: Monday for an ultrasound. 

    How are you feeling?: Nervous. TW**** Last pregnancy it was my first/dating ultrasound where I found out there was no heartbeat and the pregnancy probably wasn't going to be viable. So even though I have been assured that there is no reason to think this one will have any issues, I'll feel much better after Monday. 

    End TW

    Otherwise just super intense nausea, fatigue, breast tenderness, etc

    Rants/Raves: Rave: just got back from a cruise! Rant: kids we're not the best behaved on the cruise! 

    Questions: natm

    GTKY: What’s your resolution this year? Just to try to be a calmer person

    EDD / Weeks + Days: 10+ 6

    FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

    Baby is the size of a (an): strawberry 

    Team blue/pink/green: green

    Upcoming Appointments: 1/31

    How are you feeling?: pretty good! This pregnancy has been much nicer to me than my first. Heartburn at night and slight nausea but nothing too bad!

    Rants/Raves: I want sushi and fried rice SO BAD but the nearest place is over 30 minutes away and I’ve yet gotten any. I think I’m dragging my husband out TOMORROW lol! 

    Questions: any stm+ notice more cramping/pulling earlier than your first pregnancy? I’m also showing like I was at 15+ weeks my first pregnancy! 

    GTKY: What’s your resolution this year?
    Be more into God’s word. I owe him all the praise for this pregnancy, and my husband and I really need to be better at reading his word daily!
