When is your due date? How far along are you? 09/17 - 5W1D
How big is baby? Peppercorn
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Weāll find out
Any Upcoming Appointments? Not yet
Symptoms: Exhaustion
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Iām feeling really overwhelmed. Itās 9 months away but the thought of a new human coming into the house along with all the little human things is stressing me out. I feel compelled to completely purge the house and buy all the things, and paint/finish up projects and and and. This is unfamiliar territory. I never felt this way or even went through nesting with DD.

When is your due date? How far along are you? 9/25 - 4 weeks
How big is baby? Poppyseed
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? We found out with DS1. I think I might want to be Team Green this time! I think it would be fun to experience it both ways.
Any Upcoming Appointments? Just going to the lab Wed and Fri to have betas drawn
Symptoms: Not much yet. Occasional light nausea if I don't eat/drink enough.
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I'm truly terrified of all-day-sickness this time while also having to contend with DS1 all day. It has been one of my biggest fears of having a second. I get it bad. Relentlessly bad - all day long, every single day. And usually starting right around 5.5 weeks. So I'm just over here like "This is the last week before all hell breaks loose. I better get some stuff in order around here cause it's all gonna go to shit for like 6-8 weeks." I may ask for an anti-nausea this time (if I can even take it with the blood thinners). Last time I wanted to be as med-free as possible, but then I ended up needing all kinds of meds, so I'm not sure there's any need to suffer this time. So, my goal for the next week is to try to get my house under control and to get the playroom set up with a comfy spot for me to lay down if needed while DS can safely play.

When is your due date? How far along are you? Due Sept 14th so 5w 4d. All subject to change with the dating ultrasound, I wasn't charting so not sure when I ovulated.
How big is baby? Size of a dot snail, apparently.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? We were team green with DD but we'll find out this time.
Any Upcoming Appointments? Not yet! I still have to call my doctor.
Symptoms: Some nausea, moodiness. With DD I had tons of nausea and vomiting, so far it's not nearly is bad which is great, and also freaks me out.
Milestones: First big one will be getting past the dating ultrasound which will hopefully be in the next couple of weeks.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I feel like, because of our losses, DH and I are intentionally trying to not get to excited about this pregnancy, which is making me sad. I know that if I do have another loss I'll be devastated for a while either way, so I wish we could just enjoy being pregnant, talk about it, and get excited. I hope this feeling wears off once we get past a couple of ultrasounds.

When is your due date? How far along are you? 9/15. 5w3d. Not confirmed, based on lmp.
How big is baby? BB pellet.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM.
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Don't know yet, but will be finding out. Probably at A/S.
Any Upcoming Appointments? This week I go in to "confirm pregnancy" aka pee in a cup, and talk to a nurse and financial person.
Symptoms: Exhaustion. Hungry all the time. Rage.
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? It still doesn't feel real, even though for my appointment this week I won't see my doctor I'm hoping it will make it more real. I had pretty bad morning sickness last time but I think it didn't begin until 7ish weeks so I'm anxious to see if that happens again.

When is your due date? How far along are you? Sept. 20 based on LMP, so 4w5d.
How big is baby? poppy seed
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? We found out with our son, and I imagine we'll find out with this one too. Team Green is tempting, but I don't think I could do it.
Any Upcoming Appointments? Thursday to confirm my pregnancy. It's a pointless appointment that basically just involved peeing in a cup for an in-office pregnancy test. I do plan to ask about a dating scan - this was only my 3rd PP period and one was 32 days the other was 30 so using a LMP-based EDD won't be exactly accurate for me.
Symptoms: Right now, not much besides no period and maybe some bloating. Fatigue, but I'm not sure that's necessarily pregnancy related.
Milestones: Nothing for a while.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Still processing the fact that I'm pregnant. Trying to figure out how I can make the concert work in September still even though it's so far away I shouldn't bother worrying about it for now.

ftwr - I hope that overwhelmed feeling subsides for you soon! tbirdlove - I hope the sickness takes it easier on you this time. Great idea to get the playroom set up with a spot for you to rest while your DS plays. mirabelle - Hugs. Crampy is never fun on the nerves even though it's likely ute stretching. Hope the week doesn't drag for you leading up to your u/s. chriskoo - PGAL is hard. I hope you can find ways to let yourself get excited. Personally I found u/s to be the most helpful so I hope they don't make you wait too long for one. pambee - I think you're the first person I've seen that has also had an appointment just to pee in a cup to confirm a pregnancy. It's almost like they don't believe people know how to do a pee test right at home! Hopefully you can avoid the bad sickness this time around.

Nymeria I know it's so silly! At least now they've switched it up so I meet with the financial person at this appointment, last time I didn't meet with them until my first "real" appointment and the "confirming" appt was literally just pee in cup, nurse comes in to tell me I'm pregnant, I go home. It was much more inconvenient too because I was working last time and had to leave work early for it š I feel like it's just a waste of everyone's time, ha.

When is your due date? How far along are you? Sept 19, so I think 4w6d or so. How big is baby? A waterbear/poppyseed FTM/STM/TTM/etc:TTM! Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? We will find out as soon as we can. Any Upcoming Appointments? Feb 5. I'm not exactly sure what the exam will entail as it will be my first prenatal appointment in Portugal. Symptoms: just some boob soreness and crabbiness, though that may have other causes too. Milestones: N/A Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? We just spent 5 days in London for my birthday and i am exhausted! We walked a ton though, so I'm sure I'd be tired regardless, just feel like a wet noodle now that I'm home. Excited to sleep in my bed again tonight!

When is your due date? How far along are you? according to LMP, 6w1d, EDD 9/10. Dating u/s will tell us for sure.
How big is baby? If 6w1d is accurate, then ladybug!
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? We were green with the last 2. Our DD is old enough now though that we might need that extra time to prep her in case she gets another brother so we'll probably find out this time.
Any Upcoming Appointments? Intake and dating u/s scheduled for the 23rd. I probably could have done it this week, but I don't think my brain could handle not seeing a heartbeat yet in case EDD was off again.
Symptoms: Tired, just an overall icky feeling that comes and goes throughout the day. It's probably from not eating enough or eating too much or not drinking enough water, etc etc.
Milestones: We've made it past 2 mc timeframes (4w and 6w). Keeping my fingers crossed that things continue to go well.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Work is kicking my ass. And that is not helping me feel any better hahahaha.

How big is baby? Dot snail
FTM/STM/TTM/etc:STM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Team green with DD and we'll do team green again
Any Upcoming Appointments? Had an ultrasound yesterday for some bleeding. Bleeding has stopped so we are just hoping everything works out.
Symptoms: sore boobs, slight nausea, tired, hungry all the time!
Milestones: saw a sac yesterday at my ultrasound
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? TW:Bleeding is the scariest thing. I thought we had lost the baby yesterday but thankfully we saw a sac. Now we have to wait another ten days before the next ultrasound and hopefully baby holds on.

When is your due date? How far along are you? 9/07 - 6 weeks, 6 days How big is baby? Lentil! FTM/STM/TTM/etc: **TW** This question is hard for me...I carried to term with my daughter, but this pregnancy will be my first take home kiddos. Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? We will find out as soon as we can! Any Upcoming Appointments? Next friday for an eight week scan with the RE and an appt with my OBās nurse. Symptoms: nausea, fatigue, insomnia, lower back pain...and SO MUCH ANXIETY! Milestones: We saw two little fluttering and beautiful heartbeats on Monday! Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I felt wonderful the day after our first scan, and now Iām feeling all the PGAL feelings. Already concerned about our scan next week...so worried that one or both of the beans will stop developing. Can we please all fast forward through the first trimester? Unless you like the first trimester...then you can have it!

I did something stupid. I wanted to see a fat dark line pop up after all those bfns, so I peed on a stick for fun. It's barely there. I'm just going to tell myself the pee was diluted. Ugh, I thought by now it would be a blaring positive. I should not have done that, lol.

Last time I liked watching the line get darker and darker, but I think I'm good now. It was a dollar store test and I got the clear lines on a frer and wondfos, so I'm really not going to worry about it.

I've found having to ask the pharmacist for a test has really cut down on extra peeing for me. ššš Also, hai from the future!

Ugh, I thought by now it would be a blaring positive. I should not have done that, lol. Different brands or even different lots of the same brand can have different levels of dye in them. And if you're anything like me, any amounts of water make me have to pee too much for any sort of dark line. Plus it doesn't seem like it would take much dilution to make a line lighter this early on!

Congrats on 2 heartbeats wisco!! PGAL brain sucks and I hope it calms down for you. Big hugs to you on the what time mom question. I had copied the question format from an earlier BMB but we could always take that question out if it would be helpful to not see it. I'd hate for it to cause pain each week.

We have a heartbeat! š 125 bpm and measuring a bit behind like before. The tech said that my EDD will probably stay the same since itās just a few days. There was a āsmall amountā of blood above the gestational sac that she didnāt seem concerned about, so hopefully thatās nothing.
Such a weight off of my shoulders!

That's usually what I've said. First take home or pg with rainbow. It's kid of nice knowing who has done this whole thing before and pregnancy wise, labor and raising an newborn. But I totally understand the question isn't necessary.

ftwr I was going to ask if anyone else felt like they were going through a nesting phase already. I don't think I was like that at all with my first but I can't stop organizing and cleaning lately.
