  1. 1. I'm in week 7 for a couple more days.
    2. Less cramping (finally), but I think the m/s is getting worse.
    3. We got gifts for both sets of parents. Little booties and cards, and gave them a digital test. Everything was all wrapped up, and we told them it was an early/late anniversary gift. Then we told them we weren't telling anyone else until later, but they told pretty much the state of California. Oh well.
    4. Looking forward to seeing our LO! We had an early u/s to rule out ectopic pregnancy, but it was so early, we could see the sack and little else.
    5. Nothing yet...
    6. It's Snowing in California!!! lol

  2. Im in week 10.
    No new symptoms. I got my PICC line in last friday. So that is now in till June/July.
    Yes the entire close family knows and friends. Telling extended family the week of christmas.
    Im looking forward to feeling the baby kick. I love that feeling, the best thing in the world.
    No new advice, since this is our second.
    I just want to gain some weight back and begin to eat again. I would love not to have this PICC line in, but since i have hypermesnis, i have no choice. It isn't fun, if you have never had it.

  3. 1. Week 9 for me.
    2. Morning sickness seems to have disappeared for the most part.
    3. We've already told everyone. Close fam/friends the old fashioned way (in person or via telephone), everyone else on Facebook.
    4. Just looking forward to 2nd tri in general. It seemed to be the easiest and quickest while pg with DS.
    5. Nothing I can think of.
    6. Nope!

  4. 1. Week 7, but so close to wk 8!
    2. Less bloat, got gag-reflexes for the first time in my life (which sucks), and I can tell I'm b*tchy.
    3. Everyone but my grandparents in Michigan and one grandma here know. We didn't tell the one here even though we were going to because my dad told us she would cause a scene. Just GREAT!
    4. Seeing the u/s! And getting a bump!
    5. Nothing really so far. Just a rude comment from a friend about how I shouldn't be wearing a belly band and my SIL told me I should definitely start using stretch mark cream now instead of later.
    6. I want chili!

    ReplyDelete
  5. 1. I will be 8 weeks exactly tomorrow.
    2. My boobs are sorer than even and feel heavier. My morning sickness has gotten really bad and am throwing up almost daily.
    3. We have just told parents/sibling/best friends.
    4. Not being so sick and exhausted all the time. The bloat going away and being replaced with a baby bump :)
    5. Not really any as of yet.
    6. Speaking of snow, they are saying we are going to get 10-14 inches of snow Tues-Wed. Ugghh! I am in WI though.

  7. I am in my 8th week and besides being very very tired and having a lot of gas I have started to feel a little better. Some food still grosses me out and I still feel sick to my tummy sometimes but it isnt too bad. I have started waking up in the middle of the night starving.

    All of DH and my familys know we are expecting we told them the day we found out. We arnt any good at keeping secrets.

    I am looking forward to seeing my LO this Thursday for my first offical u/s and appointment. Also to my belly getting hard I feel like santa with a jiggly belly lol.

    I hate advice about how much weight I should shouldnt be gaining already. Everyone is differnt if my doctor isnt worried than I'm not going to be eaither lol.

    Hope everyone else is having a great Monday!!

  8. 1. I am 7 weeks.
    2. Still no symptoms for me.
    3. I have already told most of my family members. It was my DH who sent out a mass text to let everyone know. I wasn't too happy with him for that at the time; it was too early.
    4. I'm looking forward to getting a bump, and finding out the sex of the baby.
    5. No crazy advice at all. Everyone just tells me to take it easy. My grandma won't let me lift a thing. It's kind of cute.

  9. 1. What week are you in now? I am in my 8th week
    2. Any new symptoms (or disappearing symptoms) this week? I think my morning sickness is a little better this week. I'm hoping it continues to improve.
    3. Have you told most of your family/friends by now? If so...how did you do it!? Most of our family knows I think

    5. What's the funniest/craziest peice of pregnancy/baby advice you've received? Haven't received any.

    5. ??

    ReplyDelete
  11. 1. What week are you in now? I am in my 8th week - my first appt resulted in pushing back my EDD to 7/15. Hopefully the doc will take another measurement at my next appt on the 17th to confirm. Two extra weeks in the first tri...bummer!
    2. Any new symptoms (or disappearing symptoms) this week? I'm not feel as nauseous all the time! I think I'm starting to lose some bloat, too. Woot!
    3. Have you told most of your family/friends by now? If so...how did you do it!? Nope, not yet. With the possible change in EDD, we're holding off till our next appt.
    4. What are you looking forward to as we inch ever closer to 2nd tri? Getting my energy back!
    5. What's the funniest/craziest piece of pregnancy/baby advice you've received? No one knows but this is our 2nd - looking forward to 'sibling advice' ;)
    6. Anything else you want to share with us? Nope, this has been a relatively boring pg so far.

  12. 1. I'm 7w 1d.
    2. Nothing too different. I'm still bloated and tired. I still have sore/enlarged breasts, some irritability, some cramping/gas, and some headaches. No M/S (KNOCK ON WOOD!!), but I get mild nausea when I'm hungry or have gone more than 3 hours without eating.
    3. None of our family members know. We're waiting to surprise them for Christmas (just 17 more days)! We told our best friends though because we needed to tell someone!
    4. I can't wait to see my little peanut in the U/S on 12/14 and to hear his/her heartbeat!
    5. Nothing yet, but I can only imagine the advice I'll be getting when I go public.
    6. My cravings change evey other week! LOL! I'm trying not to pack on too much weight too quickly though. I've been hovering around 5-7lbs gained since ovulation.

    ReplyDelete
  13. 1. I am seven weeks
    2. Nothing is disappearing but now I have m/s.
    3. We only told immediate family and a couple close friends.
    4. I look forward to hearing the heartbeat and getting my bump.
    5.Nothing yet but we haven't told many people.
    6. I have my first appointment on Wednesday. I am excited!

    ReplyDelete
  14. 1. I'm 9 weeks tomorrow.
    2. The nausea hasn't gotten much worse in the last few days, which I didn't think was possible. And smells are really getting to me.
    3. We've only told a few people. After our u/s on Thursday we're going to spill the beans.
    4. I'm crossing my fingers that the nausea goes away.
    5. Nothing yet. I'm sure I'll get an earful once we tell.

    ReplyDelete
  15. 1. What week are you in now? In week 10
    2. Any new symptoms (or disappearing symptoms) this week? All physical symptoms still the same, but the zombie like emotional symptom is finally going away! Starting to (mentally)feel like myself again
    3. Have you told most of your family/friends by now? If so...how did you do it!? Have told our parents, and very close friends.Rest will find out at Xmas
    4. What are you looking forward to as we inch ever closer to 2nd tri? The bloat to go down and baby belly to take its place!
    5. What's the funniest/craziest piece of pregnancy/baby advice you've received? Nothing too odd yet. Just that I should not work out at all because it will be bad for baby..thought that was waaayy out there considering I was extremely fit pre-preg!
    6. Anything else you want to share with us? Was put on modified bed rest this weekend for lt brown spotting..That stopped about as fast as it came, so hopefully was a fluke and baby is growing healthy and strong!!

    ReplyDelete
  16. 1. In week 10.
    2. Mostly the same. Oh, I went from constipation to diarrhea, that was exciting.
    3. Almost everyone--going public with work and FB at the 12-week mark on Dec 23.
    4. Really hoping for less vomit in the second trimester!
    5. No pregnancy advice but I'm already getting breastfeeding advice from the militant SIL...
    6. I'm pretty much a carbitarian these days--I don't want meat, fruits, veggies, etc--only pasta, bread and potatoes!

    ReplyDelete
  17. 1. I am in week 8 - wooohooo!
    2. No new symptoms but my old ones aren't going away either. Really bad all day m/s, tired, etc.
    3. Hardly anyone knows - just DH, my Mom and my boss. It is getting really hard to hide it at work since I am so sick. But I am waiting until after Christmas break to tell so I have 2 more weeks. We plan to tell our familes at Christmas.
    4. I can't wait to not feel sick all day any more!
    5. No real advice since no one knows I am pg.
    6. I had my first ultrasound tomorrow afternoon. I am getting so nervous!! I am so anxious to see that little heartbeat.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hey! This is actually my first "check-in" and I do need to be added to the July Beach Bellies Mamas! My EDD is 7/22 but could change after my first appt.

    1. I am 7 weeks 4 days today.
    2. My boobs popped this past week. They are definitely more sore (not just tender) now and def. fuller and bigger. That is the biggest symptom change.
    3. We've just told immediate family and best/closest friends b/c we haven't had our first appt yet. Told in-laws over tday and my mom and dad last weekend. Told close friends yesterday.
    4. Looking forward to a baby bump! I think it will feel more real to DH when he sees that our baby is growing. Also can't wait for our first u/s so we can see our LO!!!!
    5. No crazy advice yet! I'm sure I'll get some when we tell DH's grandmas!
    6. We have our first appt this Thurs. I'm sure I wont get an u/s but maybe a dopplar to hear the heartbeat. So far I've been one of the lucky ones w/o morning sickness but do have a little bit of a gag reflex.

    ReplyDelete
  19. 1. Week 8 for a few more days
    2. M/S went away for a couple days but it's back today!
    3. We have not told anyone yet. We plan on telling on Christmas.
    4. I'm looking forward to hopefully feeling a little less anxious and worried all the time. I know I'll still worry, but hopefuly less.
    5. No crazy advice yet.. but that's probably because we haven't told anyone!
    6. My first appt. and u/s is tomorrow. I'm a nervous wreck. If you can spare some T&P's I'd really appreciate it!

    ReplyDelete

    3. I have... I gave my mom a bib that said I love grandma, and then with my dad and that side of the family we had gone out and bought a new truck right before Thanksgiving so when they asked us why we told them that we couldn't fit a carseat in the back of our other truck.
    4. To get my bump and not bloat.
    5. Honestly I haven't gotten any yet.

    2) No new symptoms. Still no morning sickness, but very tired. My bloat has finally receded!

    4) Peace of mind! Finally getting a baby belly, being able to readily admit I am preggo
    5) Not really advice, but my MIL said that I could have twins because there is one set of twins in their family by someone’s half brothers-grandchild….yeah I told her twins would need to run in my family, and that person is about as related to DH as any of you ladies are
    6) So excited for our first ultrasound on Friday and announcing it to family.

    ReplyDelete

    3. We told my Mom, Sister, and BFF with Onesies that say "I love my Grandma" "I love my Auntie L" with his family we were quite scared of their reaction so we just came right out and said it. Many people found out from my Mom (Proud Grandma) and some people saw on FB.
    4. Getting a Bump so I look pregnant not Fat and Finding out the sex so I can SHOP SHOP SHOP!
    5. I just LOVE the pregnancy police "Don't eat this" "Don't do this" Nothing funny enough to mention yet though.
    6. I'm ready to go home and go to bed!!! *Yawn*

    ReplyDelete
  25. 1. Week 6!!
    2. Nothing too different. I'm still bloated and tired. I still have sore/enlarged breasts, and some irritability. No M/S (KNOCK ON WOOD!!), but I get mild nausea when I'm hungry or have gone more than 3 hours without eating.
    3. I've only told my family and a few close friends who knew that we were going thru IVF.
    4. Peace of mind! Finally getting a baby belly, being able to readily admit I am preggo
    5. What's the funniest/craziest peice of pregnancy/baby advice you've received? Nothing yet...besides are you drinking enough milk from someone who drinks Mt. Dew all day long...

  26. 1. 7, I'll be 8 weeks this Wednesday
    2. For 3 days I felt absolutely fine, then symtpoms started to come back slowly today. I'm starting to have breathing difficulties, which is new
    3. All of my family knows, it's a long story of how I told them. I plan to tell friends on FB with an u/s pic after 10w (Christmas time)
    4. Just getting into 2nd tri so I can breathe easier :) and relax about the LO being ok
    5. lol Someone told me the only advice they could give me is that I'm going to get a lot of unwanted advice :P
    6. I'm excited, I just got my Medicaid letter of approval and Med. Card in the mail :) And my first u/s and OB appt are getting so close! Only 10 days, and 15 days respectively. I also went and got WIC today :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. 1. I am in week 10 now
    2. No new symptoms.. and unfortunately none have disapeared yet either.
    3. Only DH and my mom know right now. We have been planning on telling family, but MIL has a big mouth and we are from a small town, so we can't tell her until we are ready to tell friends too..
    4. Just being that much closer to having a baby to hold :)
    5. I haven't really had any yet.. I'm sure once we tell people, it'll start pouring in.
    6. I had a "consult" with the Dr today to get some meds changed.. He was late (of course) so the nurse decided to see if she could find a HB.. she did! Nice and strong and fast! So exciting!

    ReplyDelete
  28. 1. 8 weeks this Thursday
    2. Sore swollen boobs, hello m/s!
    3. Told all family at Thanksgiving. Cautiously telling friends.
    4. Lowering the chance of m/c
    5. Haven't had anything crazy yet, will let you know!
    6. I am so excited about this baby and becoming a mommy!

    ReplyDelete
  29. 1. I will be 8 weeks on Wednesday!
    2. Nothing new. Just have this constant nausous feeling that won't go away!
    3. We told our parents the week that we found out. Just dropped by each one and made the announcements. We then told the rest of the families at each Thanksgiving we went to and then I made the announcement on facebook last week.
    4. I'm ready for the tire and sick feeling to go away. I'm just tired of feeling like crap all the time!
    5. The weirdest moment that I received advice...I was eating lunch at a bar and grill with most of my coworkers (we have a small company) and I didn't even ask for the waitress to bring out honey nor did I reach for it at any point. But 3 women preceded to give me a lecture on how honey will kill my baby. Talk about scary people! Just relax please!
    6. I have 3 supervisors above me. 2 of which are male, 1 is a women who has never (and doesn't want) had children. It's very hard to explain to them that I'm a late in the morning because I can't stop throwing up and I'm tired in the afternoons, not because I'm not getting enough sleep, but because I can do nothing to help offset the fatigue. I always feel like they think I'm using pregnancy as an excuse for not being "as on top of my game" as I was before I got pregnant.

    ReplyDelete
  30. 1. What week are you in now?: We are in week 7...8 on thursday!

    2. Any new symptoms (or disappearing symptoms) this week?: my nausea isn't no where near as bad as last week...knock on wood!

    3. Have you told most of your family/friends by now? If so...how did you do it!?: We have told almost everyone. DH told his mom by getting one of the Little Golden Books we had as a kid and it was Baby Farm Animals. He handed it to her and she was like "What is this" He told her to read it. She just smiled and was so excited. My family I was so excited so I just spilled the beans!!

    4. What are you looking forward to as we inch ever closer to 2nd tri?: Lower risk for m/c and getting closer to July!!

    5. What's the funniest/craziest peice of pregnancy/baby advice you've received?: Not much really. My husband has read my book "What to expect when your expecting" and he tells me things in it all the time.

    6. Anything else you want to share with us?: Just excited to be here and to be having our first baby July 21!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. 1. I am 6 weeks and 2 days.
    2. Only symptoms I've had are extreme fatigue, and breasts are sore/tender. A little nausous, but no m/s. Knock wood.
    3. Yes. We've been married for 7 years and EVERYONE was waiting for us to decide to go for it. They are all excited.
    4. Lower risk for m/c!! I'm ready for my baby.
    5. Everyone tells me stuff all of the time, not sure....
    6. I am so ready to finally be a mommy. But I'm also nervous, anxious, scared....all of the above!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. 1. I'm 9 and a half weeks already
    2. Things seem to change every day! My energy was really fine up until a couple of days ago, but now the fatigue is really starting to kick in.
    3. I've told a couple of close friends just so that there's someone to talk to about it. We're waiting until Christmas morning to tell our parents, which is killing me! I really want to see my parents' reactions though, so the wait will be worth it!
    4. No more nausea!!! And being able to feel the baby - but just feeling better in general will be great!
    5. Not sure yet, but I'm sure MIL will have quite a few words of advice once she finds out (all outdated and crazy, guaranteed!)
    6. It all still seems so surreal! Even though we saw the LO on the ultrasound and I'm experiencing all kinds of symptoms, I can't believe in the summer we'll have an actual BABY!!! Really can't wait to be a mom, though!

    ReplyDelete
  33. 1. 9th week on wednesday :)
    2. No new symptoms. I have been nauseous NON_STOP since my BFP. I love it though, it reminds me each day I am pregnant :)
    3. My sister found out the same day I got bloodwork confirmation(even before DH!). One look at my face and she knew it. She ended up telling my parents. We told my IL's yesterday (baby foods dinner - baby carrots, baby potatoes, baby back ribs, baby spinach salad).
    4. Just getting closer to my due date. I am NOT patient!
    5. Nothing yet, then again most people dont know yet!
    6. I am due on the 14th but am hoping baby comes on the 13th. 13 has been a lucky number for me lately. It took me 13 medicated months to conceive, my first ultrasound was on the 13th on November and baby is due on the month of DH's and I 13th year anniversary (since we started dating, mot marriage).

    ReplyDelete
  34. 1. I'm 6w3d
    2. My boobs are still huge (for me) and hurt and I'm getting heartburn which makes me feel a little nauseous here and there but I wouldn't call it m/s.
    3. We're telling all of our family on Christmas with onsies for my mom & dad and DH's mom that say "who needs Santa when I have Grandma."
    4. A lot! My first appt, telling people, seeing the baby on the ultrasound.
    5. Nobody knows yet!
    6. Just that I'm excited!

    ReplyDelete
  35. 1. 10w
    2. My boobs aren't really sore anymore,...still cannot stand the sight or smell of chicken (which I normally LOVE).
    3. Yes, most of them know. It wasn't too big of a deal, we told our families in person. I wanted to think of something really clever, but DH couldn't wait. DH announced it at church for all our friends there.
    4. Bloating to be gone and having a bump, seeing the heartbeat in 3 weeks!
    5. Not sure yet...
    6. I had my 1st appt. on Friday...not overly exciting, but it felt good to get the process started!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Sorry ladies, missed the check in yesterday!

    1. I will be 10 weeks on Friday
    2. I swear I have a new symptom every day. This weekend I had my first food aversion, chicken. Also, headaches have shown up, along with my continuing swollen boobs and dry heaving.
    3. All of our family and most of our friends know. I am trying to tell everyone in person, but that is getting hard around the holidays!
    4. Feeling any better!!! Also hopefully coming of pelvic rest this week :)
    5. Major pergnancy police, and my DH is making sure sure I eat all.the.time.
    6. Get to hear the heartbeat tomorrow!

    ReplyDelete
  37. 1) I'm in my 8th week
    2) Starting to feel a little tired and a bit queezy. Breats are still big and sore and still struggle with staying regular. Cravings are getting stronger too - mainly eggs & frozen fruit.
    3) My parents know and we've told a couple of very close friends. DH family is huge and can't keep a secret so they will find out on Christmas day and we will start telling everyone else after that.
    4) Looking forward to sharing our news, getting a bump and buying some baby stuff
    5) No one really knows yet so no advice yet.
    6) Saw the h/b last week which was special and made it start to feel real.

  39. 1. I am 10 weeks and 4 days!
    2. I still have very large and sore boobs, which DH loves! No more naseau which is great, but I am eating a lot!
    3. We have told all of our family and I am telling both of my jobs this week, I think they are all catching on since I have a tiny bump showing and I am not drinking coffee anymore!
    4. I am looking forward to my 12 week ultrasound and hearing the heartbeat!
    5. I try to just shake off some of the stories/comments but I really get bothered by some of the misconceptions when I tell somebody I'm going to a midwife!
    6. Loving being pregnant and this time of year! :)

  40. I didn't check in yesterday, so here is my Tuesday check in:
    1. I'm 9w 2d
    2. Morning sickness hit hard. But thankfully it's gone by 10am or so.
    3. We told our families this weekend. My sister took it upon herself to our us to our closest friends and DH's family before we were able to. That's put a damper on it for us...
    4. I'm looking forward to hearing LO's heart beat and seeing and ultrasound that looks more like a baby than a peanut. I'm also ready to be done with this m/s (fingers crossed)
    5. So far I haven't received any crazy advice.
    6. I hate my prenatal vitamins. I gag every time I have to take them and they upset my already sensitive stomach.
