How far along are you? 6w5d
How big is baby? Ladybug
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Mostly that my stomach feels full most of the day. I don't feel like eating a lot in mornings, but all afternoon I could lol. Often dry heave once in the morning, but then once it's over I'm good. Starting to feel a little more emotional than normal.
Any appointments/milestones this week? Nope
QOTW? What kind of vehicle do you drive? Will you be needing to get something different because of baby? Our family vehicle is a 2015 Dodge Caravan #minivanforlife lol. I love having the space. We also have a 2011 Nissan Altima that H uses for work. Not in the market for a new vehicle for awhile, we got the van when I was pregnant with DD.

How big is baby? Sweet pea
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Dry heaving maybe three times a day, and starting to get more intense. Was painful this morning and really just wanted something to come up. Other than that, usually nauseous and tired.
Any appointments/milestones this week? Yes! My first appointment is this Thursday. It will just be with a nurse, for urine and blood I assume.
QOTW? What kind of vehicle do you drive? Will you be needing to get something different because of baby?
Funny you should ask! We were just talking about this, we currently only have one car - a Scion xD- which is pretty small. So we're going to need a second (bigger) car to accommodate two car seats. We've just started looking around...maybe a compact SUV? Or maybe we want 3 rows of seats? Would love to hear what others recommend!

How far along are you? 4w4d
How big is baby? Poppyseed? I don't even know.
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Started spotting again this morning. It's reddish-brown. This is after having a spot-free day yesterday and darker tests. I don't even know what to think anymore. I'm emotionally drained.
Any appointments/milestones this week? Betas tomorrow and Thursday
QOTW? What kind of vehicle do you drive? Will you be needing to get something different because of baby? I drive a GMC crew cab pickup. We can fit one more car seat in the back, so we'll stick with what we have.

How big is baby? a "wee raspberry" lol
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Still exhausted. Nausea is getting worse, I finally threw up for real yesterday. I haven't worked out in over a week which is frustrating bc up to this point I had been pretty consistent for about a year. Hoping to get back into it with some yoga this week.
Any appointments/milestones this week? Yes finally!!! First appointment is on Wednesday!!
QOTW? What kind of vehicle do you drive? Will you be needing to get something different because of baby? We drive a PT cruiser haha. Surprisingly it has a lot of room in the backseat even with DDs convertible rear facing. We will probably suffer through two kids with this car but whenever we plan for #3 we will be getting a minivan.

How far along are you? 6 weeks
How big is baby? Sweet pea
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Still emotionally overwhelmed. In March I switched to working part time, but they were supposed to give me 20 hours a week and I am getting about 3 hours a week. Unfortunately that is not sustainable, especially with #3 on the way, so I am starting an intense job hunt this week. I so would like to continue working part time, even if it is just 30-35 hours a week, but that does not seem to be a thing around here.
Any appointments/milestones this week? Nope, next week though! Can't wait!
QOTW? What kind of vehicle do you drive? Will you be needing to get something different because of baby? I currently have a Hyundai Tucson. I am heartbroken to have to get rid of it as it has treated me really well but unfortunately with 3 we will need 3rd row seating. Eventually we will be looking at minivans - I like the Kia Sedona but people on the General Discussion board were raving about the Honda Odyssey so we will probably look at those just for fun.

How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? My symptoms have abated the last few days which is making me feel pessimistic. I've also had dreams about bleeding and anxiety around ultrasounds the last few nights
Any appointments/milestones this week? Next Monday. I'm expecting bad news but at least I will know
QOTW? What kind of vehicle do you drive? Will you be needing to get something different because of baby? I have a Nissan Rogue I got when KU with DS. Before that I had a Miata

How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? I had the worst headache yesterday morning and having discoloration in my discharge, boo. Hopefully it will stop. I have been sooo sleepy and hungry!
Any appointments/milestones this week? Nope, next Friday. If the spotting gets darker I will call and see if they can squeeze me in this week.
QOTW? What kind of vehicle do you drive? Will you be needing to get something different because of baby? Not bc of baby but we may need another car because I have to complete my student teaching in the fall.

peachesncream we just couldn't fit an Odyssey in our budget right now, otherwise that's what we would get too! If we ever get the chance to we probably would.

How big is baby? A lady bug
How are you feeling? Physically I'm constantly exhausted and nauseous. No food seems appealing. Spotting has seemed to have stopped *knock on wood* Emotionally I'm doing a lot better and just taking it day by day. I really try to remind myself to just enjoy this pregnancy in the hopes it will be my last.
Any appointments/milestones this week? We have a follow up ultrasound on Wednesday since last week I was only 6 weeks and they couldn't see too much.
QOTW - I just bought a new Dodge Ram last October so will continue with that. LOVE all the room and the back up camera. DS also loves it because he can see out the windows at all the trucks/buses/vans etc.

How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Feeling slight nausea all the time. Tired. Pissy. I'm just a joy to be around! This pregnancy has been so different than my last. I was never nauseous the first time and I have distinct cravings which I didn't have before.
Any appointments/milestones this week? Yes!! My first appointment is tomorrow!!!
QOTW? What kind of vehicle do you drive? Will you be needing to get something different because of baby? Toyota Avalon. We can fit in it but I will be exploring small SUVs in the next couple years.

I'm 5wks 6days
Baby is size of a dot snail
I'm feeling crappy. My stomach is in a constant state of discomfort, but no vomiting yet. And oh so tired in the afternoons. Emotionally I'm doing ok so far.
No appointments scheduled yet.
I drive a Ford Fusion and DH drives a Ford F-150. We don't plan on changing vehicles, unless there happens to be more than one in there. In that case, my lease is up in April and we will probably look into a SUV/mini van situation.

5 weeks 5 days
No idea how big baby is. Extremely small?
I'm feeling pretty good. I've had a very small amount of cramping and spotting. Other than that, no symptoms!
First appointment is on June 14. Went for my first blood work today. Will probably have to go back because apparently I didn't have to pee as much as I thought I did. I might need to redo the urine sample.
I have a Ford Edge. I love it! Definitely don't need something larger.

How big is baby? Blueberry
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Physically, so nauseous and tired. Mentally, very detached. DH was working with a lawyer to write up a will, and we were discussing who would take our kids. I said it would be tough to get someone to take on 3, he corrected me with four, and I just couldn't say it. I can't get attached.
Any appointments/milestones this week? Possibly an ultrasound, but might not be until next week.
QOTW? What kind of vehicle do you drive? Will you be needing to get something different because of baby? I have a GMC Acadia. We won't need a new vehicle, but we will no longer all fit in DH's truck.

How far along are you? 6w tomorrow
How big is baby? Sweet pea
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Nauseous off and on, boobs sore, and so so SO tired... I took 2 naps today and am currently struggling to stay awake on the couch at 830. My appetite is so weird. The second my stomach is empty I get nauseous. But then I eat and I feel sick. It's tolerable right now, but I know that it's only going to get worse. Emotionally, I'm hoping to make it past this week. With my MC last time, I miscarried at 7.5w but the baby showed to have stopped growing at 6w.
Any appointments/milestones this week? I have an ultrasound on Thursday!!! I can't wait. I feel like I'll be able to relax a bit once I can have some peace of mind that things are on track, and once I'm past this "milestone" week
QOTW? What kind of vehicle do you drive? Will you be needing to get something different because of baby? I drive a Toyota RAV4... it'll be fine for the mean time. I have another 2.5 years on my lease so it'll have to be ok for now!

How big is baby? Blueberry
How are you feeling? I feel fine. It's a mind fuck. I keep wondering everything is ok since I feel so good. I'm a little tired, but not nearly as bad as my last pregnancy. My boobs are sore, but not as sore as last time. No cravings, no aversions, my sense of smell isn't overwhelming. I'd like some morning sickness to feel better please.
Appointments? Not until next Friday.
QOTW: I have a Volvo xc60 (the small SUV). I got it when I was pregnant with DD. I thought it would last through at least two kids, but I think we will need to get one of those roof storage things for vacations. We go to visit my family for a week in the summer and at Christmas and the car is packed to the brim as it is. I can't imagine losing the backseat space and carrying all that baby crap. I think this car will be fine for day to day use but I see a minivan in our future especially if we go for 3.

How big is baby? Blueberry
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? My stomach is a mess, I can't seem to figure out if I want to eat or if I feel like I'm going to puke. All I want are carbs and fruit. Similar to last time. I'm dry heaving when I brush my teeth again too so that's fun. That and I'm exhausted. Oh and nonstop dark spotting
Any appointments/milestones this week? Ultrasound tomorrow, FX for a heartbeat!
QOTW? What kind of vehicle do you drive? Will you be needing to get something different because of baby? I drive a CRV and Wife drives an Altima so we'll be keeping those. We basically take the CRV everywhere we go together.

I forgot the format. Gonna wing it. How far along? 5 weeks 1 day How big? Very small. No idea. Feelings? I think benandjerrys said this too but symptoms are really coming and going. I know this is how it goes but my nose isn't as sensitive as my previous pregnancies. I was chopping an onion last night and half way through realized I barely smelled it and had an all out panic. Need to get to my u/s on June 20th and see all is well. Car? GMC Acadia and Ford Escape (that was demoted to #2 for the Acadia). We got the Acadia this fall anticipating a 3rd kid. We got the captain seat/3rd set up which should be good for us for the long run. I'm very happy with this car. Love the Escape too. We finally donated my first car. RIP 2003 White Jetta with tan leather interior. I miss you.

How big is baby? raspberry, maybe?
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Nausea can go away at any time. That would be super. I'm breaking down and asking my OB for Zofran or something. Mostly just digestive issues. I cry at the drop of a hat but, that's to be expected.
Any appointments/milestones this week? Nothing for a couple weeks
QOTW? What kind of vehicle do you drive? Will you be needing to get something different because of baby?
I have a grand cherokee and DH just traded off his focus for an explorer 2 weeks before we found out. We should be good to go.

How big is baby? "Maine blueberry"
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Same old same old. Tired, nausea, heart burn. Anxious.
Any appointments/milestones this week? No appointment until June 8th 😢
QOTW? What kind of vehicle do you drive? Will you be needing to get something different because of baby? Dodge Dakota (4 door). Nope it's tight but both ds and the new baby will fit. However if we decide to go for number 3 then we will need something bigger because I don't think 3 across will fit. My dad is encouraging us to look at a Dodge Journey because you can get an optional 3rd row and the "dealership says it's great for car seats" but I'd definitely want to research because I'm sure most dealerships would say almost anything to get a sale 😂

teraiin totally anecdotal and personal preference I'm sure, but one of my good friends is an autobody technician with a lot of vehicle opinions and is a huge Dodge fan. When they had their first they got a Dodge Journey, and shortly after having their second they traded it in for a Caravan. Journeys have all the seats, but that third row takes away all the storage. So just an experience from a friend of mine!

Fortunately we don't need to switch vehicles yet haha

How big is baby? Appleseed
How are you feeling? Physically I feel fine. My only symptoms are sore boobs and frequent urination. I literally pee every hour during the day and every other hour at night. I'm hoping this pregnancy is similar to that of my son because I had no nausea whatsoever. Emotionally it's hard....I hate the constant anxiety in 1st tri.
Any appointments/milestones this week? Yes, my first ultrasound with my RE is scheduled for tomorrow morning. With my last pregnancy I found out during an ultrasound that I had suffered a MMC and I was alone as my husband was on a business trip. He's currently on a business trip so I'm really nervous to go alone.
QOTW: what kind of vehicle do you drive? Will you be getting something different because of baby? I currently drive a Nissan Pathfinder so we definitely don't need to worry about getting another vehicle.
