How far along are you? 8 weeks ish
How big is baby? Raspberry? I really need to install a baby app :-P
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Physically I have zero energy - I am finding it really hard to keep up with my kiddos and I am asleep by 8:30 or 9 every night (and I sleep right through my younger one's wake ups, sorry hubby). My appetite is gone but I only have faint waves of nausea which is not terrible. Emotionally I am just really excited for my appointment Thursday. I have had a gut feeling that it is twins (which I am sure is wrong, my gut feelings about the gender of each of my other kids was wrong) so I am just excited/anxious to see baby cooking in there, get a real due date, and feel like I can actually start planning.
Any appointments/milestones this week? First appointment Thursday!
QOTW: What's your favorite holiday, and how do you celebrate it? Well, it isn't my favorite, but I have had 4th of July on my mind lately. I love experiencing holidays through the eyes of my kids and seeing the joy and excitement in their eyes. I am really excited for the 4th of July because I feel like they will love it.

How far along are you? 9w6d
How big is baby? Strawberry tomorrow!
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Physically - constipation can suck it. I have a disgusting story to tell but maybe I will save it for an FFFC if we have one. Also I'm so over insomnia. Emotionally, depends on the day. I've had a couple of good days in a row and then PGAL brain sets in and I question any symptom or lack of.
Any appointments/milestones this week? 1st real OB appointment is next Monday!
QOTW: What's your favorite holiday, and how do you celebrate it? Christmas for sure. We usually travel to see family but this year we obviously won't so it will be nice to get into a tradition with DD at home for once.

How far along are you? 7+3
How big is baby? Wee raspberry
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Nauseous and tired. Same old story.
Any appointments/milestones this week? I FINALLY have my dating scan this week. Curious to see how things are going (fx) and hopefully get an official due date.
QOTW: What's your favorite holiday, and how do you celebrate it? Hmm I love Christmas and I love 4th of July. Christmas we do a big family breakfast and open gifts. 4th of July is a giant family reunion pool party. We get to see people we only see once a year!

How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)?
Nausea hasn't been as bad since over the weekend. In place my boobs feel heavier/more sore, I'm more irritable. I was also super tired yesterday.
Any appointments/milestones this week?
Nooo I'm getting so anxious. Due to a series of unfortunate events, I couldn't get in until later next week when I'm 9 weeks. But my daughter has her 2 year check with her tomorrow so I'll tell her then and I'm crossing fingers maybe she'll get me the paperwork to book an ultrasound.
QOTW: What's your favorite holiday, and how do you celebrate it?
Christmas is just like a month long celebration, so much food and events and family and prep. Honestly I think I like the prep just as much as the day itself!
I've also found a new appreciation for Canada Day since having kids. We don't really seek hanging out with anyone else, and find fun things to do that day as just a family. And I love getting them special Canada clothes for the day lol.

How big is baby? a blueberry?
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)?
Exhausted, nauseous periodically. I think it gets worse in the evenings, which makes making dinner unpleasant. DD has started imitating me dry heaving.🙄
Any appointments/milestones this week?
Nope! Had a dating ultrasound this past Saturday, and first OB appointment isn't until the 15th.
QOTW: What's your favorite holiday, and how do you celebrate it?
I think it has to be Christmas, especially with DD getting older and now living near family so we don't have to travel. The day-of is always hectic and filled with multiple family events, but I love the season and the cookie baking and the build-up. My dad's side of the family is Swedish and does a smorgasbord for Christmas eve, which is my favorite. Rice pudding with lingonberries, Swedish meatballs, brown beans, limpa and cheese (I avoid all the salty fishes.)
And I have a love-hate relationship with 4th of July. I have memories of it being the most exciting day as a kid, with the parades and decorating my tricycle with streamers and having BBQs and fireworks. And then at some point I grew up and it turned into the most disappointing and depressing holiday. So I'm hoping I can make it fun again. Maybe just focus on simple things, like making a pie.

I'm not quite 7 weeks
Based on other people's responses, baby might be the size of a blueberry?
Nausea has hit me super hard in the past couple of days. I wasn't sure I was going to make it through this morning at work. Tons of dry heaving and super dizzy. I'm also not sleeping well and am exhausted all the time. Emotionally I am all over the place...
First appointment is next week.
Favourite holiday is definitely Christmas. I love everything about it!

Hi all! I am just coming over from TCF. How far along are you? 8w3d How big is baby? Denise's pygmy sea horse (or a raspberry) How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? pretty darn normal. I am grateful, but it's just weird to be so symptom-free. Any appointments/milestones this week? Hopefully graduating from the RE today! QOTW: What's your favorite holiday, and how do you celebrate it? Ooh, close tie between Halloween and Christmas. I love the costumes and trick-or-treating for Halloween, but presents and the food at Christmas is amazing. H and I dress up for Halloween and set up for neighborhood kids to come through in our garage, with a big blackout curtain and spooky lights and music.

How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Still super sick. Way more than I was with DD. Can't wait for it to end haha.
Any appointments/milestones this week? Nothing big this week, we told our parents finally yesterday so that felt good. It was so hard to lie to my mom every day on the phone 😂
QOTW: What's your favorite holiday, and how do you celebrate? Christmas!! I love all the peppermint candy, we do Christmas eve service & presents on Christmas Day. When we're at my parents we usually do some kind of theater improv game after church on Christmas Eve (my sister is a theater major so she always teaches us some fun game haha).

How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Physically hungry all the time, I get nauseous then I know I need to eat something! My nips have felt like needles and got a little bigger. Emotionally I have good and bad days but my appt this week should help ease my paranoia. I def cry at anything and everything. Lol

How far along are you? 7w3d How big is baby? A micro chameleon or something How are you feeling? Physically I have all day nausea but no vomiting. Plus tired and zero energy all day. Can't stay up past 8 and also nap at least once. My pelvic area and hips are also sooo achy, I've brought out the snoogle already. Emotionally- I'm scared all the time. With the brown spotting it just feels like I'm constantly waiting to get bad cramping or have the brown turn to red blood. I'm also having a tough time because I don't feel connected to the baby yet. I don't know if that's just me subconsciously trying to protect myself but it breaks my heart knowing that I haven't made any future plans or ideas for them  Any appointments/milestones this week? None schedules but my doctor might book me in for another ultrasound - she was supposed to call me back on Friday but never did Favourite holiday is a tie between Halloween and Christmas. I love dressing up and doing family costumes (this year we are going a despicable me theme). Christmas is just the best for happy feelings, the best food and parties!

How far along are you? 7w 6d. When I went to the OB, she took off a few days so I'm annoyed that I'm behind where I thought I was!
How big is baby? Raspberry
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Nauseous when I'm hungry. Nauseous when I'm full. Bloated. Sleepy. And on the way to work I cried at the lyrics of a Beatles song. lol.
Any appointments/milestones this week? Nope.
QOTW: What's your favorite holiday, and how do you celebrate it?
Halloween!!! We celebrate both Christmas & Hanukkah at our household, so those are fun too!

How far along are you? 6+6 How big is baby? A blueberry! Or, a firecracker popper.  How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Emotionally is a grab-bag depending on the day, hour, minute. Nervous and anxious and excited for appointment tomorrow; nervous in general; excited but hesitant to do any real planning yet because I'm still waiting for the ball to drop and to hear bad news. Physically nausea is amping up which is reassuring. Fatigue is kicking my butt big time. Getting up for work is hard, so I'm really looking forward to summer and being able to nap when DS does. Any appointments/milestones this week? Ultrasound and chatting with my OB tomorrow! Praying for a good scan and seeing our little blob's heart thrumming away. QOTW: What's your favorite holiday, and how do you celebrate it? A tie between Christmas and Easter. I love the time with family, the music, etc. There's always time with my mom's side of the family (we're pretty close) and all of my cousins. Cousins range in age from 30 (me - the oldest) down to 16 months. It's always a fun time - church, good food, good beverages, stories, jokes, card games...I cherish those moments. |

How far along are you? 7w tomorrow
How big is baby? I don't know... too lazy to look
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Awful physically. I'm exhausted all the time, I can't ever keep my eyes open, and I'm nauseous 24/7 now. It's the worst in the morning and at night, and just mediocre during the day. I put a call into my OB for something to take for it. I can't be an effective parent like this, OR be an effective nurse when I have to work. Emotionally, I feel great. All my symptoms are giving me peace of mind. This pregnancy is so so so different than my MC and way more like my pregnancy with my DD.
Any appointments/milestones this week? Yes I have another ultrasound on friday!
QOTW: What's your favorite holiday, and how do you celebrate it? Christmas!!! We see all our families on Christmas. It's always so chaotic. Both of or families live in the same town, which is nice because it allows us to see them all. But at the same time, it would be nice sometimes if they lived further apart so we'd be forced to pick one house or the other. Last year my ILs were all on vacation in Barbados so we had such a nice and relaxing day.

How big is baby? A wee raspberry.
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Mostly tired. Some nausea, but it has been pretty mild the last few days which has me terrified.
Any appointments/milestones this week? Sono and 1st appt on Friday. I'm very anxious because DH isn't going with me. Terrified to get bad news. Just telling myself it'll be fine.
QOTW: What's your favorite holiday, and how do you celebrate it? Truthfully I can't pick a favorite. They all have pluses and minuses in my book, but overall I like holidays as a whole.

How far along? 6 weeks today?
How big is baby? No idea.
How are you feeling? Tired, anxious
Any appts or milestones? My oct 2017 pregnancy stopped growing at 6 weeks exactly even though I didn't find out til 3 weeks later. I'm exactly 6 weeks again today so I've been extra on edge.
Adding to that I got some beta numbers back today from last week. While they are high they didn't double. I spiraled a bit this morning but got some reassuring advice from my other BMB so I'm trying to stay calm. I'm also traveling for work which isn't helping!
Favorite holiday- Christmas. Hands down. Everything about it. We stay home and go to my parents which live 2 blocks away so not much travel!

Nauseous, oh the nausea. This symptom can go away anytime now. The fatigue and sore breasts are so much easier to manage. Emotionally I'm ok. I haven't been out of the house in 2 weeks cause I've just felt crappy (thank goodness I'm a sahm).
Christmas, hands down. We cut our tree, and decorate the house. I love snow at Christmas, but then I'm over the snow afterwards lol.

I saw my dr today for my DD's 2 year checkup. I couldn't get booked in for my first prenatal with her until the 15th when I'm approx 9w1d.
So I told her I'm pregnant and couldn't see her until I was that far along so she gave me the paperwork to book in an ultrasound so I called them and I was able to get in this Friday morning!! I actually could have gotten in tomorrow but my husband is traveling for work and wanted to be there. I'm so excited, I thought with how late my appt was I was still expecting another 2-4 weeks before I could get in to see baby!

Had our ultrasound this morning. Baby is measuring completely normal for a 6w1d baby with a wonderful heart rate of 126. The discrepancy makes me a little nervous (I should have been 7 weeks exactly today), but I am trying to focus on the fact that everything is normal, and the heartbeat is right where it should be. Discrepancies happen. It's okay. We have a baby with a little beating heart, and that's what matters. I won't go in again until the end of the month for my first formal appointments. New EDD is 1/29. Praying that things go smoothly and baby continues to grow.

How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? exhausted. Short with temper too. We got a puppy and between her and DD--I find I am overly frustrated. Today I had morning sickness for the first time, so that was fun.
Any appointments/milestones this week? My first ultrasound tomorrow
QOTW: What's your favorite holiday, and how do you celebrate it? Hanukkah and Christmas. Even though I am Jewish-husband is Catholic and there is just something magical about Christmas morning. For Hanukkah we have a huge Hanukkah party--with friends and family.

How big is baby? A sweet pea
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Physically I'm okay, which is making me worry. I had heartburn and some nausea last week, but not much of anything this week.
Any appointments/milestones this week? I had my progesterone drawn yesterday and it came back borderline. I'm already on progesterone supplements. I'm also in the process of switching doctors because I hated my old doctor's nurse. Old doctor wants me to up my progesterone and new doctor says it won't do anything and progesterone supplements are pointless. So i'm confused and not sure what to do. I also had my HCG redrawn this afternoon and will get the results tomorrow morning.
QOTW: What's your favorite holiday, and how do you celebrate it? My favorite holiday is 4th of July! I love the warm summer weather and the yummy cookouts. Fireworks are my absolute favorite!
