Weeks pregnant: 12w6d
Baby is the size of a: Lime
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Pink!!
Appointments: Aug 30th
Symptoms: Nausea is a little less, still exhausted, back pain, constipation
Milestones: Got genetic testing results back, started telling people!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm ready to feel better, hopefully it's around the corner. Knowing the sex of the baby makes it so much more real for me! We are 95% set on a first name, too.
GTKY: What’s your favorite fast food restaurant? I'm a fan of Wendy's. Five Guys is better, but they're hard to find.

cch, I've actually never been to Chik-Fil-A. We didn't have them in the area growing up, and then I never got around to trying it. But there's one near the Target I go to. I have to go there sometime.

Discovered Chick-fil-A a couple years ago when I met DH... That's when I learned he does. Not. Share. Food. Haha! At least not willingly. Had to learn to get my own fries and shake. It's so delicious but there's none around here!

Baby is the size of a: peach

Appointments: not until the end of this month
Symptoms: on and off round ligament pain, the morning sickness is pretty much all gone though! Now I'm hungry pretty much all the time!
Milestones: second trimester, healthy baby boy results from the genetic screening
Rants/Raves/Vents: I have a cold and it really sucks. We went to a wedding this past weekend and I felt miserable. We got home late last night and I took the day off work today. I feel guilty and I don't have much PTO but I just needed a day at home to rest and feel better
GTKY: What’s your favorite fast food restaurant? Chipotle! Wish I had some right now!

Baby is the size of a: Peach
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Finding Out
Appointments: Not for a long time.
Symptoms: Still feeling very much less than myself.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I am ready to feel better. I am still not eating the way I would like to be as far as nutrition goes.
GTKY: What’s your favorite fast food restaurant? I don't eat fast food. We don't have any where I live. We have restaurants of course, but not chains.

Weeks pregnant: 12+4 Baby is the size of a: Robo hamster FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM Team: Finding out Appointments: Check up next Monday Symptoms: Well, I thought the nausea was pretty much gone since I've only had it mildly the last few days except when I go too long between meals. I was wrong. Thrown up 2x so far today. Boobs are sore, too, but I only really notice them when they get bumped. Exhausted always but it seems to be lessening a little. Milestones: One more week until 2nd tri..... one more week..... Rants/Raves/Vents: So, SIL does photography on the side and said she'd take some pics of the boys for our announcement. This was almost a month ago. We told her it certainly didn't need to be a full session, probably 15 min max if that. She said ok and would let us know when she was free after work but she still hasn't gotten back to us and the texts I've sent have gone unanswered. I'm so frustrated. I had a good friend of mine use her calligraphy skills on a little sign for it and I think I may just ask my MIL to take pictures or I'll do them myself. GTKY: What’s your favorite fast food restaurant? Oh man. Chick-fil-a hands down. The whole family loves it, plus their toddler-friendly play place is the bomb. DS1 used to call it Chicken Legs because he couldn't say Chick-fil-a. My heart goes out to those who haven't tasted it's yummy goodness. But for burgers, my heart belongs to a local chain called Blake's.

Weeks pregnant: 19+2
Baby is the size of a: game boy! You guys, that's so crazy!
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM
Team: blue
Appointments: next Monday - anatomy scan
Symptoms: not much tbh
Milestones: everyday is a milestone past my loss, but i'm only 5 days away from the half way mark. That's so crazy to me.
Rants/Raves/Vents: We went to the beach over the weekend and my mom bought DS this adorable sloth stuffed animal, a tiny soft lamb and these frog socks that rattle when he kicks his feet. It's crazy to think in a couple months he'll be using this stuff.
GTKY: What’s your favorite fast food restaurant? Taco time or Wendy's

Weeks pregnant: 11+4
Baby is the size of a: lime (my mom brought one over to celebrate!)
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM
Team: keeping the secret (altho spilled to my sister yesterday. It was bound to happen).
Appointments: follow up with OB Wednesday after ER visit this weekend. Nuchal scan Monday. MFM soon, need to schedule it.
Symptoms: nausea is so much less. Still using unisom and B6. Many food aversions. Feeling frustrated every meal figuring out what to eat. Always feeling hungry.
It is so encouraging to start hearing so many friends checking in that you're feeling better and having more energy! Light at the end of the tunnel!
Milestones: I swear I felt baby yesterday! DH predicted I'd feel it early as possible...I am really sensitive and in tune with my tummy from having Crohn's. Felt two feelings I've never felt before, one was like the softest repeating thud you can imagine, the other was like a super light version of your tummy flipping in the elevator but way low.
Rants/Raves/Vents: tired of bleeding. It's scary. And I miss sex. The physical and emotional side. It's hard to replace and I'm feeling weirdly lonely.
GTKY: What’s your favorite fast food restaurant? Go to Panera most often probably. My fave is probably a local roast beef and custard place.

Weeks pregnant: 20w 1d
Baby is the size of a: Belgian endive? Lettuce I guess?
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: ttm
Team: blue
Appointments: this Friday
Symptoms: nausea still. My varicose/spider veins have been hurting a lot lately
Milestones: hit the half way mark yesterday!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm worried about how much worse my legs can get. They hurt so bad already and I still have 20 weeks to go!
GTKY: What’s your favorite fast food restaurant? I don't eat much fast food (don't have many local) but maybe Five Guys or Wendy's?

Weeks pregnant: 13w tomorrow
Baby is the size of a: mini cactus
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Finding out
Appointments: Just had one Friday so not again until September
Symptoms: Nausea, growing boobs, headaches, fatigue
Milestones: Almost at the end of 1st Tri!!!!! (I won't go past 39w)
Rants/Raves/Vents: I already whined about my crazy appointment Friday. I was really hoping it would can my nerves bit everything so hectic that even seeing baby on US didn't do much to decrease my anxiety. I'm so ready to feel halfway human. Hopefully 2nd tri brings that.
GTKY: What’s your favorite fast food restaurant? Another vote for Chickfila. I love that place and could eat it everyday. This is even after having worked there for 5 years.

Weeks pregnant: 12+2
Baby is the size of a: lime
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: pink

Milestones: Almost to a point to announce!
Rants/Raves/Vents: made it through another trip without having to tell. Looking forward to the cat being out of the bag on the last one!
GTKY: What’s your favorite fast food restaurant? Hmm... Culvers, Taco Bell. I guess I have to try Chick-fil-A!

Weeks pregnant: 16 + 3
Baby is the size of a: dill pickle/CD
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Green
Appointments: I had my 16 week visit yesterday. Baby's heartbeat sounded good. Still trying to figure everything out with my blood pressure. It was reading on the low side even though I have been taking only half my dose so my doctor said I can stop taking it altogether for now. That's good because I've been feeling really tired and crappy and this might be why.
Next appointment is in 16 days--my anatomy scan! I can't wait!
Symptoms: very very tired, a lot of stress (work-related and also my nanny gave her notice, which I really didn't need right now!), sore boobs (still)
Milestones: my appetite is leveling out so I'm actually interested in healthier foods again. I haven't gained any weight yet (and I'm hoping to keep that going as long as I can since I started out this pregnancy overweight) so this is a good thing!
Rants/Raves/Vents: see above re: work and nanny (atrb_partsz)
GTKY: What’s your favorite fast food restaurant? Chick-fil-A is pretty good but sometimes I feel kind of dirty eating there because of some of their social stances. Wendy's usually does pretty well by me.

Weeks pregnant: 13+2
Baby is the size of a: Clownfish
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Hopefully finding out this week!
Appointments: Nothing until 16 weeks
Symptoms: Random nausea, food aversions (still), headaches, so tired, and starting to pee more frequently (yay...).
Milestones: I'm either in 2nd tri or in the last week of 1st tri. Either way, wahoo!
Rants/Raves/Vents: Is summer over yet? The heat is really getting to me. I can't run an errand without getting completely wiped out - especially if I'm wrangling DS in/out of his car seat and shopping carts.
GTKY: What’s your favorite fast food restaurant? Sadly, I've developed a horrible aversion to Chick Fil-A with this pregnancy. I tried again yesterday, and the nuggets just taste like huge chunks of salt. Panda Express's orange chicken is my current go-to.

CharlieB, Oh no! That's so sad that you can't deal with Chick-fil-a right now But I'm having a similar issue as far as salt is concerned. Everything tastes sweeter or saltier than normal and it's a pain in the ass. And also, right there with you about summer. I just need mid 70 temps again! Or even 80s. I keep reminding myself I hate my cold early mornings at work but the daytime temps need to take a chill pill.
