How big is baby? Apricot/6cm :-)

Upcoming appointments this week? I had the NIPT test this morning!!! I was so nervous I thought I'd pee myself. We saw all limbs, fingers (with a thumb up), nose, mouth, eyes, stomach, a strong heartbeat and backflips!!! Doctor said everything is "as any other pregnant lady at this stage" and it's "probably a girl" :-) I'm so relieved!!!! Now about 2 weeks to wait for the blood test results but I'm so relieved already.

Any new symptoms or changes? My stomach is starting to stick out a little and harden, but it's still very subtle. Nobody but myself or H could tell.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm annoyed that my two work friends are not in the office today, I was going to announce as I came in but they're both off and I'd feel weird telling others when they don't know so I'll wait until tomorrow. I did tell HR so that's out of the way.

Random: What's the last the book you read? I just finished End of Watch (Stephen King). It was good, though not one of his best IMO.

How big is baby? Naval Orange

Upcoming appointments this week? None. I had an appointment on Friday. Everything was fine. I have some blood work to do in two weeks, and then an appointment two weeks after that. Waiting to hear from the much larger hospital when our genetic testing and NT scan will be

Any new symptoms or changes? Officially in maternity clothes. I feel a lot better.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Came out on Facebook this weekend. It is all the talk of my coworkers. Apparently I hid it better than I thought because they had no idea.

Random: What's the last the book you read? The Berenstain Bears: Going fishing. Lol. Mostly just children's books right now. I don't have much time for adult books.

How big is baby? Tomorrow little bean with be the size of a plum.

Upcoming appointments this week? TOMORROW!!!!!!! So excited. I can't wait to hear the HB. My last apt was at 8weeks so it's been a long wait.

Any new symptoms or changes? My nausea calmed down a lot this weekend. Still comes and goes but thank god for a little reprieve.

Rants/Raves/Questions? We took our pictures this weekend and we will announce after our apt tomorrow! The pictures turned out SO GREAT. My son actually did a good job being patient and we got some awesome shots. We decided on the cans with the string and one can is on my belly then the other he has to his ear. The caption will be "We decided to let Emmett talk to his Christmas present early." And on the pic it says "Coming December 2017"

Random: What's the last the book you read? I just finished You by Caroline Kepnes. It was really good!

How big is baby? Pea pod.

Upcoming appointments this week? This is my off week.

Any new symptoms or changes? Just still feeling tired and getting annoyed about it. I'm just ready to stop feeling so tired. Plus I'm taking Diclegis every night so I'm sure that isn't helping. I NEED SECOND TRIMESTER HAPPINESS TO KICK IN.

Rants/Raves/Questions? My bump is definitely a bump now which is kind of exciting.

Random: What's the last the book you read? Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. I liked it! It was fiction / sci-fi and I read it in one day.

[cakewench]

How far along are you?: 13w3d

How big is baby?: Peach (WTE) / Matchbox car (Ovia)

Upcoming appointments this week?: Nope. Nothing until July 3.

Any new symptoms or changes?: I'm feeling good after yesterday (got over-warm at a baseball game) - I did talk to a nurse at my doc's office just to be safe, she said I did everything right yesterday and to keep staying hydrated. I felt bad calling but it was good to hear.

Rants/Raves/Questions?: I talked to my mom after I spoke with the nurse and mom reminded me I need to be eating protein (thanks Mom), even if it's just cheese. Which of course made me crave cheese, so off to CVS I went. Apparently my cravings are highly suggestible   Also, STILL no NIPT results. They said up to two weeks and my appointment was on 5/22. Hopefully this week?!

Random: What's the last the book you read?: The Burial Hour by Jeffery Deaver. He writes the Lincoln Rhyme crime series (the first book is "Bone Collector", made into a movie in the late 90s with Angelina Jolie and Denzel Washington).

[cakewench]

Ask and ye shall receive?

I just got the call - NIPT came back and everything is negative/normal! And we are Team Blue! I can't stop crying! (good tears I promise!)

How big is baby? A Napoleon (Ovia) or lemon (WTE)

Upcoming appointments this week? Blood work next Monday and shopping for a new Dr up North.
Any new symptoms or changes? Ugh just bloated and gassy 24/7 I forgot about this!
Rants/Raves/ questions? DD has been getting up every night and crying until I take her in our bed. I've been sleeping like crap. I can't wait until whatever this stage is is over!

Random: What's the last book you read? Great Small Things by Jodi Picoult. Ive been in school so I haven't done a lot of pleasure reading! I really miss it!

How big is baby?: Peach per cakewench!

Upcoming appointments this week?: not until 16 week July 5th

Any new symptoms or changes?: Feeling better. Only random nausea now. Im exhausted all the time though!

Rants/Raves/Questions?: I wish NT results didn't take so long. It's up to 2 weeks, which was last wed. I'm still irritated that they didn't just do the blood draw the first NT attempt the week before.

Random: What's the last the book you read?: an adult book? I don't even know. I think I got through one chapter of "no bad kids" or something like that about toddler behavior, but sleepiness has kept me from reading at bedtime.

Cinnamon roll...mmmmmmmm!

Nope, but we've been to the pedi twice in 4 days.

Finally stopped vomiting. I'm in that nice 2nd tri phase.

Also I maternity clothes for real. I need more low panel, but fuck paying money I'll just feel a little silly in my full panel clothes for awhile.

Mmmmmmm cinnamon roll.

I only have 2 pairs of Mat jeans. One low, one full panel. I wore the full the other day, though obviously way early and I felt like they were riding my underwear down the whole day. So annoying. Keeping to my low panel and maxis unless I have to!

How big is baby? App says lemon, but ultrasound said a little bigger (3.3in)

Upcoming appointments this week? None

Any new symptoms or changes? Nausea has mostly let up. Just feeling exhausted now.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I feel like I should tell my boss soon, but not looking forward to that conversation.

Random: What's the last the book you read? Just finished Behind Her Eyes - I saw it recommended somewhere on here and downloaded it from the library. It was really good - suspenseful.

[belle0720]

How big is baby? Two little laduree macarons!

Upcoming appointments this week? 12 week check up tomorrow and NT Scan on Thursday!

Any new symptoms or changes? I'm definitely having round ligament pain. Also, a few times this weekend it really seemed like I felt movement. I know it's way early and I didn't even feel movement with my daughter until 20 weeks so it was really weird! Maybe some sort of muscle spasms?

Rants/Raves/Questions? I bought a doll double stroller for my daughter and she has been playing with it nonstop! I also ordered "TWIN" letter balloons so I'm going to try to take some pics of her with the doll stroller in front of the balloons this week and post it on facebook, assuming all goes well at my appointment tomorrow.

Random: What's the last the book you read? 13 Reasons Why. I felt like I had to after watching the series, it's always interesting to compare books with the movies/shows made from them.

How big is baby? Cinnamon Bun

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope.

Any new symptoms or changes? Most everything has backed off. Life is amazing when you're not nauseous.

Rants/Raves/Questions? The bump is small but real. I noticed yesterday that I kept bumping into the kitchen counter and couldn't reach as far for the shelves.

Random: What's the last the book you read? I'm a re-reader. Right now revisiting The Space Between Us by Thrity Umbrigar

How big is baby? An apricot

Upcoming appointments this week? I'm at the midwives waiting for my appointment right now.

Any new symptoms or changes? I've started feeling like crap pretty reliably in the evening and it lasts until I get a shower. Weird.

Rants/Raves/questions: nope, not right now. I guess I am looking forward to that alleged 2nd tri energy. It should coincide with school being done for the year.

Random: What's the last the book you read? I'm reading Rich People's Problems by Kevin Kwan and it's quite enjoyable right now.

[sizzleb]

belle0720, I could swear I've felt movement the past couple of days myself. It's so much earlier than I felt movement with my first that I'm trying to convince myself it's just gas. But it sure feels like what I remember with my DD.

[jrun2013]

Appointment went well!

[officedronette]

belle0720 and sizzleb - I'm pretty confident I've been feeling movement for the last week and a half. It's not often, not every day, but it's distinct from gas and my other myriad belly feels. The movement is generally response to me pushing on my belly, and only if I hit the right spot (e.g. I could press three different places and only feel movement in one).

How big is baby? Fig

Upcoming appointments this week? I see my OB Thursday and I have my NT scan Friday. Should have my Panarama results by Monday.

Any new symptoms or changes? I'm feeling a little better tonight. I actually cooked dinner.

Rants/Raves questions? My sitter told me another neighbor told her I was pregnant (sitter already knew) so word is out. I wanted to wait for test results but I felt forced to tell a few people that I didn't want to hear from someone else.

Random: What's the last the book you read? Something Blue by Emily Griffin. I read it on the plane coming home from the trip where I got pregnant.

[kim22]

I also swear I feel movement when I'm lying very still. I know by 13 weeks I did with number 3.

[belle0720]

officedronette sizzleb Mine was definitely not gas, I don't know what it was though! The strongest 2 times were when I yawned, it actually startled me. Muscle spasms maybe?

I get those too. Higher than where baby is. I first thought they were gas but now I also think they are muscle spasms.

How big is baby?: A peapod

Upcoming appointments this week?: I had one yesterday. Baby is perfect! No more appointments for a whole month 😢

Any new symptoms or changes?: Nope! Pretty symptomless so far.

Rants/Raves/Questions?: Our genetic screening came back today! Lowrisk for everything and a little BOY! We're so excited. I've never been so relieved in my life. I've been kind of inactive because I was so nervous. I didn't feel pregnant and I was having a hard time connecting to the baby but I feel like such a weight has been lifted!

Random: What's the last the book you read? Love in the Time of Apocalypse by Francesca Lia Block, it was good. Kind of a teen book but this was my favorite author as a teen so my sister bought it for me for Christmas. I still liked it!

daystardreams, congrats on a boy!!

[officedronette]

I'm 14w4d

Somewhere between a fist/peach and a beefsteak tomato.

OB visit on Thursday.

Queasiness remains much improved. Actual puking is down the last few days. Nerves mildly up as we tell more people.

Rave-ish - My bump is bumpin. Look pregnant not fat. Rant - Pimples are popping. Pimples and wrinkles and greys are just too much.

I just finished Lilli De Jong by Janet Benton. It was great. Parts are quite upsetting, especially as a pregnant person, but it was a beautifully written book. I'm currently reading How Toddlers Thrive.

How big is baby? Avocado

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope, I wish!

Any new symptoms or changes? I'm for sure starting to show, no more nausea but SO tired.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I had bleeding early on that stopped, but when I went in the nurse practitioner I saw just dismissed it. Apparently I should have had a rhogam shot but she didn't give me one. I need to go in for testing next week to make sure the blood didn't cross to the baby. If so, baby would need blood transfusions the rest of my pregnancy. My doctor assured me that the chances of this are so extremely low, but still, I'm panicking a little. Obviously she wasn't since she said it could wait..... but still.

Random: What's the last the book you read? I'm reading Big Little Lies right now.

[LeekPartyof2]

I'll play today

How far along are you? 11w5d

How big is baby? Brussels Sprout for a few more days

Upcoming appointments this week? Midwife appointment this afternoon.

Any new symptoms or changes? Nausea is pretty infrequent now. I'm still exhausted by the end of the day and my pants are starting to feel a little tighter.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Not sure which this is, but I'll admit I'm having a hard time connecting to this pregnancy. No real reason, it just doesn't feel real. I've started to worry that the decrease in symptoms means a MMC and so I'm a little nervous about my appointment today for that reason.

Random: What's the last the book you read? I just finished an Elizabeth George mystery and am currently in the middle of Tender on the Bone--Ruth Reichl's memoirs. Both are fun summer reading.

[cakewench]

Hugs, LeekPartyof2. I'm sure the symptoms reducing are just you getting near 2nd tri. My nausea hasn't been as bad lately either (unless I get really hungry). FX for a great appointment - will be sending good vibes your way today.

[officedronette]

LeekPartyof2 FX for a good appointment today. I'm sorry you are feeling disconnected and worried.
