How far along are you: 11+ 1

Size: A lime

Upcoming appointments: We did bloodwork on Friday for the Progenity test, and have our 12 week appt. and ultrasound next Tuesday.

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: Nothing new here! Lots of headaches, but nausea isn't as bad anymore. I am ready to start getting a bump!

GTKY: What's your favorite piece of jewelry? (Inspired by the bling thread on General Discussions!) I love my engagement ring! I also have a ring that I picked out on our most recent trip in April that I adore.

How far along are you: 14+1

Size: Treasure troll

Upcoming appointments: I had one this morning, and all is well! Found the HB right away, but then baby ran away from the Doppler so doc had to hunt for it. I've also apparently lost 6 pounds since my last appointment...whoops? Since I'm keeping food down, there's no concern yet (I'm overweight to begin with).

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: Stupid nausea, go the fuck away. Urgh. After a successful appointment today, we'll start telling people/going public.

GTKY: What's your favorite piece of jewelry? (Inspired by the bling thread on General Discussions!) I don't wear a ton of jewelry (mostly because unless it can go with everything, I hate trying to match colors), so my wedding ring and ring with DS' name and birthstone.

Size: pomegranate

Upcoming appointments: AS next Tuesday!

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: If I lay on my back or stand too long my left leg gets all tingly. And I've started sleeping on my hands so I wake up with numb hands. I can't believe I have my AS next week already! The weeks feel slow but looking back it was fast, if that makes sense.

GTKY: What's your favorite piece of jewelry? (Inspired by the bling thread on General Discussions!) I was going to say a couple of long necklaces that I have from Anthro but after the other answers I guess I should say my wedding and anniversary rings haha

Upcoming appointments: tomorrow!

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: same old same old. LOL

GTKY: What's your favorite piece of jewelry? (Inspired by the bling thread on General Discussions!) Not counting my wedding rings, it's a Harry Potter themed ring my husband surprised me with last fall. 😍

[rebeccabunch]

How far? 14 weeks

Size? Whatever readinglove said

Appts? Not for awhile, had a good on last week

Symptoms/concerns etc? I'm pretty sure I feel some flutters. I know it's early and eye roll worthy but I'm sure of it! I'm hungry all the time.

Finally sleeping better too. No phone checking after 8 and a cup of tea in the 7pm hour seem to really be helping.

Fav Jewerly - I'm not a big jewelry person. I really like my engagement ring and wedding rings but sometimes I forget and leave the house without them. Younger pre engaged me would be appalled! 😳 Besides that a very sentimental unwearable piece I inherited from my grandma.

[easternshoregirl]

Thanks for starting it up, pinkcat!


How far along are you: 12w5d

Size: apricot

Upcoming appointments: Aug 9 is the next with local OB then back to MFM on Aug 24

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: Nausea is way better. I've gotten a couple of nights of OK sleep. I also think I am starting to feel flutters rebeccabunch, but I'm doubting myself. When I sat down this evening while DH gave E a bath, I think there was some movement. I feel like that makes sense, since that is when E would always kick into high gear and get really active too.

GTKY: What's your favorite piece of jewelry? (Inspired by the bling thread on General Discussions!)  Well, now I also feel obliged to say wedding/engagement rings! I don't ever take them off though. Other than that, I have a really cool long beaded necklace I got in Colombia, so sarahh, I know what you mean. I love clothes and accessorizing so it just depends on my outfit.

How far along are you: 15w6d

Size: Pear

Upcoming appointments: this Thursday

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: feeling pretty good! Now that my belly is growing I'm already feeling like breathing is a little difficult. I have a super short torso.

GTKY: What's your favorite piece of jewelry? (Inspired by the bling thread on General Discussions!)

Omg! I LOVE jewelry! Other than my engagement right I would have to pick this one rose gold ring I have that is a rectangle, emerald cut amethyst with diamonds around the perimeter of the stone and around the band. I love it so much I named the ring Stella. Lol!

[easternshoregirl]

sweetsurprise, that ring sounds gorgeous. You should post a pic sometime if you can! I'd love to see it.

I'm kind of excited to have a February baby b/c of the birthstone. I already have an August baby and DH is Feb and I am Oct. I am looking forward to get some sort of family jewelry that has opal, peridot and amethyst in it, I think those stones could look really nice together!

[maddisonrose]

How far along are you? 15w4daya

Size: avocado

Upcoming appointment: ugh, 2 hour glucose tomorrow morning and then an appointment on the 8th.

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: the brown spotting from the haemorrhaging last Sunday has finally gone away but every single little twinge, cramp, pain has me headed straight to the bathroom checking for more blood.

GTKY: don't really wear too much anymore. Just simple diamond studs usually and my engagement/wedding rings. Sometimes I will wear a gold hamsa hand choker necklace but I'm usually pretty simple

Size: 🍋

Upcoming appointments: 2 weeks away. My harmony came back low risk, so good news there!

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: I feel really good! Boobs are still sore, but no nausea unless I get hungry. Definitely working on a more of a real bump than the blump I had been sporting the last several weeks.

GTKY: What's your favorite piece of jewelry? (Inspired by the bling thread on General Discussions!) I got a Corinthian ring when I was visiting Italy, and I just love it. It's rose gold and white gold with really intricate carvings throughout and small diamonds - I cannot make it sound pretty when I describe it, but I swear it's gorgeous.

Size: Avocado

Upcoming appointments: not for another two weeks, I had to reschedule it for our vacation next week

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: I am going to beg for something for my nausea at my next appointment. I have lost 30 pounds and am still losing and food just always sounds terrible. I don't ever really vomit so I feel bad asking but I am over this shit.

GTKY: What's your favorite piece of jewelry? I actually don't own or wear jewelry. I can actually wear my wedding rings now that I am not working with stuff they could get stuck on but I basically only wear them so DH will not be offended.

How far along are you: 10w 2d

Size: Kumquat

Upcoming appointments: Monday (8/7)

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: Feel like I'm in limbo. 2 appt in a row they haven't found the HB. I have another next Monday to try again. 😔

GTKY: What's your favorite piece of jewelry? (Inspired by the bling thread on General Discussions!)

My wedding set. MH actually just bought me a second wedding band yesterday.

My engagement ring is a solitare in white gold, my first wedding band is white gold with 13 small diamonds (I think it's channel setting), my new band is a twist band in rose gold with 15 small diamonds.

[jessijean]

peachesncream ask for Zofran. I have been taking it daily since 8 weeks. I try to go without and I'm just miserable. Feel better soon!
sweetsurprise that ring is stunning! Love it!

How far along are you: 17w 4d

Size: Pomegranate

Upcoming appointments: Had lab work last week and my med levels didn't decrease, woohoo!

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: As mentioned above my med level maintained so maybe I've crossed a bridge there! Nausea, STILL. Very messed up dreams and waking up with hip/back pain. Typical pregnancy.

GTKY: What's your favorite piece of jewelry? (Inspired by the bling thread on General Discussions!) My "mother's necklace" from DH that we can add to once this LO is born and a birthstone ring he also got me. I really don't wear a lot of jewelry.

Size: dill pickle

Upcoming appointments: August 28th is my anatomy scan and I still have to schedule my 20w appointment for the first week of September sometime. My OB had a super busy schedule the week of my u/s so I couldn't make it work then and they haven't finalized their September schedule yet. :/

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: starting to show a little but only when I'm not wearing clothes 😂 I feel huge all the time though which stinks. No real symptoms right now other than being tired a lot.

GTKY: What's your favorite piece of jewelry? (Inspired by the bling thread on General Discussions) I have a gorgeous necklace with DDs birthday enscribed on it. It's a funny story now, but my brothers ex-fiancé had necklaces made for all of us sisters (her new SIL's) before their wedding. But then she called off the wedding haha. We all kept our necklaces though and it's one of my favorites. I just can't ever tell DD who it was really from 😂

Size:
Brussel Sprout

Upcoming appointments:
Nothing in the very near future.

Symptoms/concerns/milestones:
My nausea has lightened up, which is nice. Still so, so tired though. Had my NT scan. I don't have any official results but the tech generally said that everything looks good and I looked up the measurement and it's well within normal.

GTKY: What's your favorite piece of jewelry?
I'm going to go with the cliche and say my engagement ring 9 years later and I still just love it!

I'm not crazy about purple so I'm wasn't overly excited about the amethyst birthstone, but if someone wants to get me a ring like that, sweetsurprise, I think I could get enthusiastic about it!

[ironunicorn]

notmoose, sending hugs. I hope your appt Monday goes well.


How far along are you: 16w4d

Size: action figure

Upcoming appointments: OB next Tuesday and MFM for level 2 ultrasound next Friday. I cannot wait for the AS!

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: really blumping out. I am ready for this belly to pop and stop looking so chubby!

GTKY: What's your favorite piece of jewelry?
I don't wear a lot, but H and I designed my engagement ring together and I absolutely adore it. It's just a solitaire from the top, but from the side it has swirls and surprise diamonds.

18 weeks today

Size of a sugar glider

My next appointment is at 20 weeks for the ultrasound and Dr.

I don't wear much jewelry, so I guess my wedding and engagement rings.

[blueskiessmiling]

How far along are you: 14+1

Size: lemon

Upcoming appointments: Nothing until next Wednesday, just a regular OB appointment

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: Morning sickness is still there, but maybe lessening ever so slightly. I feel like ligament pain is bothering me already- whenever I get up off the floor or another low surface I get shooting pain in my groin. Too early for this! I do feel huge though so that probably doesn't help.

GTKY: I adore my wedding band set. It's old-fashioned looking and, IMO, gorgeous. It's getting tight with the bloating I've had going on.

[smores]

notmoose sending lots of good thoughts and prayers that your appointment on Monday goes well. Did you ever get a chance to call in and ask about having an ultrasound done?


How far along are you: 10 weeks + 3 days

Size: A strawberry or kumquat

Upcoming appointments: In another 2 weeks. If it goes well we will "go public" with work and IRL people. Still going to wait until the anatomy scan for social media.

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: Still nauseous, ugh. I feel like MAYBE it's getting a smidgen better... maybe. I'm also super tired and emotional. Poor H, I was feeling overwhelmed yesterday and just cried and cried. I'm a pregnant mess, haha.

GTKY: I have a lot of sentimental stuff that I love. I will forever love my engagement ring and band. After my loss, I bought myself a rose gold ring set. One band has DD's birthstone with her birth year and name engraved and our angel's band has the birthstone with what would have been the birth year and a pair of angel wings engraved. Two super thin rope-like bands are on the top and bottom. Since I bought it myself I got to design them just how I wanted and I love them pretty hard. We also got a heirloom diamond ring from H's grandma. It is for DD when she gets older, but his grandma said in the meantime I can wear it. It is beautiful and so sentimental. It does need to be sized though so I can't currently wear it. And last but not least, my mom has given me a couple mother's day necklaces that are mixed metals and I just love the look of them. I'll see if I can post some pics later when I'm home!

Hi!
I am 17w today.
Baby is the size of a turnip.
I have an appointment with my OB tomorrow. She will likely do an ultrasound and a weight check. She will probably also go over my results from all of my genetic testing. I am hoping she will tell us the sex during the ultrasound but she is not likely to do so and will make me wait until my A/S on 8/28.
My insomnia has been ridiculous so I am extra tired. My nausea comes once in a blue but is mostly gone. My nipple hurt so bad.
My favorite pieces of jewelry are definitely my engagement ring and wedding band. I used to work in a jewelry store so I picked what I wanted and he went and purchased it when I wasn't there. Love them so much.

[sunfrogger]

Howdy!
I am 11w today, baby is the size of a Brussel sprout.
My next appt is my NT scan next Thursday and then my OB appt on 8/21.
My nausea is mostly gone so I started taking my prenatals again since they really caused a lot of the nausea. I can't find the HB on the Doppler and I'm about to give it back to my gf, way too much stress when I try and can't find it! I'm also shocked I have such a visible blump so I'm planning on telling my boss next week after a good US.

GTKY : I love my wedding band. I love all the glittery and shiny and while my engagement ring was my style then, it isn't now. I would prefer a solitaire with a glittery band.

[tiffbabey]

How far along are you: 10 weeks today

Size: prune

Upcoming appointments: next week on 8/10, meeting my OB, hear heartbeat for first time and get my genetic testing blood drawn

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: vomiting and nausea still in full swing, ugh

GTKY: What's your favorite piece of jewelry? (Inspired by the bling thread on General Discussions!) I would have to say my engagement and wedding band set also. I still love them. I also have a mothers ring with DS name and birthstone on it. Am looking forward to getting a second stacking ring for this new one!

No appts until end of August
I don't wear jewelry but I have a mothers necklace with my daughters name, birthstone, and birthrate. And I just got both my daiths pierced back in March so I obviously have jewelry in them...

Action figure! (Ovia app shows a no-name Batman which made the kids super happy haha)

Upcoming appointments:
Got quite awhile for my next one

Symptoms/concerns/milestones:
Somewhere in the 16 week frame was when I felt my 2nd for the first time, and it became much more frequent and obvious a couple weeks later. So hoping to start feeling some kicks soon!

GTKY: What's your favorite piece of jewelry? (Inspired by the bling thread on General Discussions!)
After my grandpa passed away (I was about halfway through my 2nd pregnancy) my aunts and mom were cleaning out his and grandma's old place, as she had passed a few years before. They found an old necklace of hers with a little heart charm that says "mom" on it. They asked if I wanted it! I'm not at home right now or have any pics of it on my phone at the moment, but I would share it if I could!
Also, my same grandma's mom wore a heart shaped locket at her wedding that grandma, my aunts and mom, and my female cousin and I wore at our weddings. Before my wedding grandpa gave it to me to take care of from now on to make sure any females in our family in the future get to wear it. So it's not "mine", but pretty much the most important possession that I handle!

I'll have to admit I've been spoiled with nice Italian jewelry from my husband and ils but my fav is this moon and sun necklace the hubs got me for our 3rd or 4th anni. It's even double sided, sparkly on one side.
