My boobs/nips only seemed sore from 4-5 weeks! Nausea 4 weeks onwards, very strong from week 6 and puking from week 7/8...but only twice a week! Cramping only at beginning but ill be getting RLP soon im sure!
Jess I was so tired last night-fell asleep at 8pm and just woke at 7am!
Scan was beautiful! Very long legs! Im 12+5 today...need to change my ticker but don't have a clue how to do it!! I couldn't do the first one on here! Someone did it for me! Any volunteers?!
You have any clue when you O'ed? Because that is more accurate... Dating seems to change every time... I had 1 week delayed and a couple times 1 week in advance and some spot on... With those variances i stick with when i O'ed.
Anyways, did they give you your EDD? I can make it for you hun.

I had sleepiness as my major symptoms which started during my TWW.... Didn't relate it to pregnancy then until i got my
... I was bloated at 8 weeks, no bloat at 9 weeks, then bloat/bump at 10 weeks... Nauseous at 19dpo, 25dpo and 30dpo onwards.....My boobs were sore and hurts on the sides during my TWW and later on they got so itchy..... ITCHY boobs was experienced by other ladies here as well.... Maybe due to it stretching....

I cannot wait for Kenna's scan!!! I also agree you go pee 1st 
Jess, my tiredness picked up this week as well
Jamie, most of my symptoms started 5 weeks and up and got stronger from there. I didn't have much in the TWW either.

You'll get more accurate date later on up until 22 weeks or 23 weeks. Beyond that babies measurement is influenced by genetic/race.... My last scan at 22 weeks baby is ahead by 1w1d again. I just stick to my O as i know that's more accurate....

My boobs are STILL sore... ever since a few days before my . I'm just used to it now but if I squish or bump them it hurts! Plus, my OH has pretty much left them alone for the most part because he knows they're sensitive. Our 
life has vastly dwindled down to a mere ONE day a week as of late 
Mainly it's because of our busy schedules but in the back of my head I wonder if he has mixed feelings about it with my belly becoming obviously bigger and the fact that he saw the baby in the ultrasound photos... maybe he's nervous or turned off because of it 
I really shouldn't worry, we still fool around here and there but I do miss with him. I think back to how we were doing it just about EVERY DAY (sometimes twice in a day) while TTC and how stressful it was at times... so now at least we can both relax 
In other news, I got info on yet another college that takes volunteers for their sonography program! This one requires me to have a scan performed by my doctor after 15 weeks so I won't be able to participate until AFTER my gender scan sometime in late April. I'm excited though because you take a CD and DVD and they burn photos and video! I'll have tons of photos of our lil meatball for my pregnancy scrapbook!

Daphne that's a great list.. It is so freaking overwhelming with everything we need for them at first!
Oh, I learned an interesting tip in Bradley.. Our teacher said to pack a small spray bottle filled with olive oil and use it as "baby Pam" hahaha. Basically she said the meconium is so tar-like that it can stick to baby's skin pretty badly but if you spray a bit of natural oil on their bottom beforehand it really won't stick. Plus it's good for the skin! We are using coconut oil as diaper cream when we bring LO home but I don't know if that would work then!
So I'm thinking one hour til we hear from Kenna?!
Jyllian that's so exciting!! I really do want to do the 4d scan which seemed super reasonable at the time we got pregnant but now it seems like we are paying solid chunks of money every which way for the baby so we might skip it.. Is that the kind of scan this other college offers?

What a great tip for baby's bum, would've never thought that?!
Yes I believe this one does the dimensional scans as well. My OH ran into a friend last week who said his wife had it done. I decided to contact her for details and ended up finding the program instructor email on the college website and he was very prompt in returning my message. Even if I do have to wait until after my gender scan at my doctor's office I'm still excited and will be pleased to have even more photos - and video! - of our LO. I am also supposed to report back to the instructor I saw last week for another volunteer scan with them! We will have an album full of photos just from ultrasounds!
