Height:  5'9

Weeks pregnant:  10w1d

Baby is the size of a:  Petit Four

FTM/STM/TTM/etc:  STM

Team:  Hopefully finding out on 9/30, I booked one of those boutique ultrasound places that swear they guarantee 100% reliability after 14 weeks.

Appointments:  9/13, NT scan and bloodwork

Symptoms:  Nausea, excess saliva (which makes the nausea worse)

Milestones: 

Rants/Raves/Vents:  I cannot wait to get out of the first trimester.  I'm counting down the days.

GTKY: Fall or Summer?  Fall for sure.  I love summer and all the things to do but at this point I am definitely ready for fall.  I can't wait to do all of the fall-y things and was already planning the menu for our Halloween Parade viewing party yesterday.  I'm so sad I'm going to miss out on the boozy apple cider mimosas.

Symptoms: Really sore boobs when I first wake up. Dizziness. Fatigue.

Rants/Raves/Vents: my seasonal allergies have kicked in so my eyes are inflamed, my nose is running like a tap and I feel like I've been hit by a bus when I wake up.

Rants/Raves/Vents: Nothing really - I just hate this in between stage - loss will do that to you

GTKY: Fall or Summer? I love Summer. I'm sad to see it go! But I don't mind early Fall. I just am NOT a winter girl.

Baby is the size of a: jelly bean

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Finding out

Appointments: 9/13 w/ OB, hopefully getting a referral for MFM for an NT scan after that

Symptoms: nausea is back full force, so I've hit up the diclegis samples my OB gave me. So far, so good. Other than that, so so tired, lightheadedness (apparently that's not a word??), and breakouts

Milestones: making it through each and every work day without throwing up in my trash can

Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm done w/ 1st tri, bring on 2nd tri

GTKY: Fall, although around here we get typical "fall" temps around winter, so I have a ways to go.

Baby is the size of a:a fig or poker chip...depending on where you look?

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: Fourth pregnancy, hoping for our 3rd take home baby

Team: Unknown -- I take the Harmony test on Friday.

Appointments: Next appointment isn't until September 22nd.

Symptoms: Nausea, so much nausea

Milestones: Almost in the second trimester!

Rants/Raves/Vents: I hate eating these days. I feel so nauseous and nothing sounds good. It's miserable.

GTKY: Fall or Summer? Definitely fall -- boots, pumpkin everything, apple orchards, crisp air...

Baby is the size of a: Raspberry?

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: Finding Out

Appointments: Mat21 and u/s tomorrow (8/31)!!!

Symptoms: None really. Tired mostly, but I'm kind of always tired with life and all.

Milestones: Just waiting for u/s

Rants/Raves/Vents: This has been a really bad week and really bad year for my family and we really really need some good news so I am so anxiously awaiting our u/s.

GTKY: Fall or Summer? Fall, only I hate that it's closer to winter.

[sammysam]

Good luck tomorrow sweetc129 !

[calendula]

Age: 31

Height: 5'3

Weeks pregnant: 11

Baby is the size of a: lime

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: PINK!!!

Appointments: Next appointment is 9/11 for our integrated screen.

Symptoms: Still tired, but that is slowly easing up. Haven't had the nausea in a bit, either. Second tri, I'm coming for you!

Milestones: Pants are getting a little tight!

Rants/Raves/Vents: Waiting between appointments is still hard. I'll be on vacation next week so that will hopefully be a nice distraction. I think I will have a LOT more comfort about this pregnancy and my odds for m/c once she passes the Integrated screen at 12 weeks .

GTKY: Fall or Summer? I think I like fall a bit better. Its so much more comfortable outside. Also I love cooking fall food and wearing flannel.

[sweetc129]

<3 you sammysam, thank you. I've been thinking about you.

Age: 28

Height: 5'5"

Weeks pregnant: 6w 6d

Baby is the size of a: Ladybug

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: stm

Team: we are still debating finding out.

Appointments: not until Sept 20th

Symptoms: sore boobs, pee all the time, nausea is starting, I am very tired.

Milestones: Still waiting for my first appointment. I hate the waiting.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I feel sick this morning. Not very bad, but I know it's coming. It hit around 7 weeks last time and was SO BAD at 8 weeks until like, 15 weeks. I don't want to be sick again. I'm dreading it.

GTKY: Fall or Summer? Both. I really like Fall but really hate winter.

[Leaf 🌱]

Weeks pregnant: 7wks5

Baby is the size of a: tiny chameleon baby

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Green

Appointments: less than two weeks until our confirmation.

Symptoms: nausea, heartburn, food aversions, diarrhea

Milestones: unrelated milestone - DD slept past 630am today. It was glorious.

Rants/Raves/Vents: just tired of being sick and tired. Debating just telling everyone bc I hate the speculation and trying to hide how shitty I feel. I'd really really rather wait as long as possible though.

GTKY: Fall or Summer? BOTH. Summer might barely win bc I like that at the end of summer, you get fall instead of shitty winter. Winter's only redeeming quality is christmas and the possibility of snow days. I'm thinking about planning a mini-vacation in February bc I bring very pregnant in my least favorite time of year may kill me.

[Leaf 🌱]

babybean I'm trying to wrap my head around 18' of snow and I literally cannot do it. Do you live north of the wall?!

[sammysam]

Wasn't going to play this week but I might as well:)

Age: 38

Height: 5'11"

Weeks pregnant: 9 + 1

Baby is the size of a: southern pecan

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Finding out

Appointments: Repeat ultrasound on the 5th and hopefully repeat bloodwork sometime around then too. Hoping for a difinitive answer so I can get out of this limbo.

Symptoms: All day nausea, sore boobs

Milestones:

Rants/Raves/Vents: possible TW***

I think having to wait 2 weeks is actually good for me. It's given me time to wrap my head around both possible outcomes. If things don't turn out well then I'm pretty pissed at my body for not recognizing what's going on and for having to feel so sick every day. But I know it's nothing I can control and my body is just doing what's right for baby either way.

End TW***

GTKY:  Fall or Summer?  I love summer. Love it. But maybe as I get older I might be leaning more towards fall. I think when DD is a bit older I'll be back on the summer train though.

lol it feels like that sometimes. Winter wonderland for sure. Luckily it wasn't 18 feet all at once. I think it broke a record.

[calendula]

sammysam , I can't believe they are having you wait that long--such torture for you to go through. My team would be tracking me twice weekly at this point if I were in your situation. Do you think if you pushed for additional monitoring, you would get any more flexibility from your doc? I've been thinking about you.

[sammysam]

calendula I think my doctor's reasoning is that giving it 2 weeks will give baby time to either show us it's ok or for us to see that there is obviously no growth. I had hcg levels done last week. I don't know what they are measuring at but I think they will only do a blood draw again if the us doesn't turn out well. Part of me wishes that they would be monitoring more frequently and part if me is glad for the extra time.

[calendula]

sammysam, I understand. So many hugs during this stressful time.

Milestones:

Rants/Raves/Vents: I am so tired of not feeling good. I am thankful though that my parents are letting me use their login info for Disney Jr. My ipad has been doing a lot of parenting the last couple of days.

Team: ehhh leaning more toward finding out

Appointments: 9/15

Symptoms: less nausea!, worse skin, some heartburn

Milestones:

Rants/Raves/Vents: After my SILs shower last weekend, I've been nonstop looking at baby gear and nursery furniture. It's exciting and overwhelming at the same time.

GTKY: Fall or Summer? Until recently, I would have said summer, but I am coming around to loving fall. I think I may put up my fall decor this weekend. I'm sure MH will be thrilled to get up in the attic to bring it all down.

Going to try to post a bump pic in a min for the first time from mobile.. we'll see how that works.

ETA:bump pic!

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Finding Out

Appointments: 9/1 for initial OB sand ultrasound

Symptoms: sore boobs, bloating, nausea

Milestones: none

Rants/Raves/Vents: the bloating after eating is rough. I've been wearing super loose clothes to try and hid it but I'm sure it's noticeable🙄

GTKY: Fall or Summer?
This is hard! Probably summer because it's both mine and DD's birthdays:)

[cornpop]

Yay clementine I'm so happy to see a bump pic!!! Plus, are you the first in the second trimester? I am so jealous.

I thought I was? But Ovia says week 13 is the last week of 1st tri. Either way, I'm glad to be moving on to 2nd tri! Also that pic is deceiving. Bump is way bumpier in person.

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Symptoms: bloat, tender and huge boobs, the all day nausea has started to slow down the past few days but it's replaced by the non constipation issue which is a ton of fun at work

Milestones: hitting double digits week wise

Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm starting to feel better during the day which is nice but I hate that I can only eat a few bites of food at a time because then I feel sick so I feel like I'm eating all day

GTKY: Fall or Summer? Fall. I hate being hot and we are always so busy and rarely have a weekend free so I'm looking forward to things slowing down for a bit.

Here's my 10 week blump.

GTKY: Fall or Summer? Fall. Although I hate winter as well so....

babybean I can't believe how much snow you got! I'm way farther north and we didn't get nearly that.

[babybean]

Oh, are we blumping up in here? I have much to contribute.

[babybean]
