[Waffle]

How far along are you? 13w2d

How big is baby? Ovia says jalapeno

Upcoming appointments this week? Wednesday!

Any new symptoms or changes? Still all the same. H says I'm starting to have a little pooch but I've seen bigger after pizza still

Rants/Raves/Questions? Can't think of anything just now.

Random: Do you have any cravings? I've been craving fruit in general and melon, peaches and cherries in particular. Lucky me, it's the right season!

[officedronette]

15w3d

Small fruits? Lemon, apple, tomato

None this week.

About the same - all day queasiness is gone, random puking still here.

My cravings are never consistent, with the exception of ice water. I'm thirsty all the time, and I want my water ice cold.

How far along are you?: 14w3d

How big is baby?: Lemon (WTE) / Troll Doll (Ovia)

Upcoming appointments this week?: Nope. Two weeks from today, though! Can't wait. I'm supposed to fly home for nephew's 1st birthday a few days later so I am hoping they will tell me that's ok (I got trip insurance just in case).

Any new symptoms or changes?: Pretty much the same. I have noticed that below my belly button is starting to get a little firmer, and it feels warmer than the rest of my body. I used to be super cold all the time and now I can wear a sleeveless dress in my office and actually still need a fan. It's weird for me.

Rants/Raves/Questions?: One week of knowing we are Team Blue, but so far so good not telling H. I did almost slip yesterday, though, but I don't think he noticed

Random: Do you have any cravings?: Nothing especially strong yet. When I feel nauseous I still just want carbs (pirogi being a personal favorite).

How far along are you? 14w3d

How big is baby? Peach

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope, not until 17 weeks.

Any new symptoms or changes? Nausea is better, but I now have all day headaches (I forgot about 2nd tri headaches), and so much hip pain.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Just looking forward to this week of work being over, I need to work on keeping my stress low.

Random: Do you have any cravings? Peaches, plums, sour gummy worms.

[rooskie]

How far along are you? 16w3d

How big is baby? either an avacado or an action figure.

Upcoming appointments this week? My 16wk is on Thursday

Any new symptoms or changes? I'm struggling buttoning my pants at this point. I also was sooo tired all weekend.

Rants/Raves/Questions? We put the crib together yesterday and all three cats have officially been in it. My mom went nuts and got pissed. We figured this way the cats would get a chance to see the new things before the baby gets here. We will be shutting the door to the nursery when the baby is in there.

Random: Do you have any cravings? Protein. Like, I want a big greasy cheese burger or a BBQ sandwich.

[sarahandben108]

How far along are you? 16w

How big is baby? Avocado

Upcoming appointments this week? Blood work on Friday.

Any new symptoms or changes? So much gas!

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm sweating my ass off all day long. And I'm not a person who runs hot.

Random: Do you have any cravings? None, but I have been able to have fresh cucumbers from the local farm and they taste amazing. I've also been binging on starbursts.

[ldubhawksfan]

]How far along are you? 14w2d

How big is baby? Peach or lemon per PPs

Upcoming appointments this week? No. Not for 2 more weeks. I'm nervous though. I almost want to go in for a Doppler check.

Any new symptoms? So much back pain

Rants/Raves/Questions? This pregnancy is so hard. I'm so exhausted all the time. My back hurts from holding the toddler. Laying her in her crib worries me about smashing my stomach. I don't know how the hell women do this multiple times!!

Random: Do you have any craving? Sushi, watermelon licorice, cereal, tomato soup again

[veganontuesdays]

How far along are you? 13 weeks tomorrow

How big is baby? Ovia says scoop of ice cream

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope

Any new symptoms or changes? Nausea comes and goes. I haven't puked in a week so YAY. I'm back to being super exhausted.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nadda

Random: Do you have any cravings? I don't have cravings perse but if I randomly think about a food then I can't stop thinking about it until I eat it again.

[LeekPartyof2]

How far along are you? 12w3d

How big is baby? Ovia says apricot

Upcoming appointments this week? None until July 18, but we do have our 'healthy pregnancy' class at the birth center tonight.

Any new symptoms or changes? Still all the same--fatigue is kicking my butt. My dental appointment revealed pregnancy gingivitis, which means I'm sitting here in pain.

Rants/Raves/Questions? See above from the dentist this morning.

Random: Do you have any cravings? No real cravings--fruit consumption is up but that could be summer time. I'd say I'm more highly suggestible than having actual cravings. Someone will mention a food and it will sound good.

[typo31]

I'll update after my appointment tomorrow afternoon. I'm feeling so anxious. No appointments + no symptoms + no movement yet have me convinced there's no baby. Does this ever go away?

[jrun2013]

How far along are you? 13w4d

How big is baby? Jalapeño

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope

Any new symptoms or changes? I've started to get mildly annoying headaches, so that's no good.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I finally told my mom I'm pregnant, so that's a relief.

Random: Do you have any cravings? I've been really into caprese salad lately.

To answer your question, I would say not really, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. I think each stage of pregancy (and after!) has its own worries that come with it. I never thought of myself as a worrier before kids, but I feel like that's built into motherhood, to an extent. All pregnancy you worry about the baby - am I feeling enough movement, is the baby growing at the right rate, is my body doing what it's supposed to do, etc. And when they are born you think "Oh good, I can relax now", and then you find yourself checking on them in the middle of the night to make sure they are still breathing, or worrying if they are getting enough milk and gaining enough weight. Then when they become a toddler, they are getting into all the things and exploring so you realize how dangerous your surroundings are for someone who just wants to climb but has no sense of balance or fear. And my guess is as they get older = always something new to worry about.

Ok, that got long...I guess my point to all that is I think it's perfectly normal to be anxious about whatever stage you are in. So in that sense it never goes away. But I also think it's a protective instinct that is just inherently part of being a mother.

jrun2013, how did your mom react to your news?

[babydsmama]

How far along are you? 15w

How big is baby? An eclair

Upcoming appointments this week? I had my quad screening blood work today. No appointments until my first one with the new OB after we move!

Any new symptoms or changes? Pretty much the same!

Rants/Raves/Questions? We're driving from TX to MA (leaving Sunday) with our 2yo DD and our dog. It'll be 4 days of driving at least and I'm not looking forward to it!

Random: Do you have any cravings? All the fresh fruits 🍉

She was super happy! I knew she would be, I was just not wanting to tell anybody at all about this pregnancy, but I think people will start to figure it out soon so I wanted to let her know before them.

How far along are you? 13w

How big is baby? Large Laduree Macaron (last week was a Small Laduree Macaron) also, a jalapeno

Upcoming appointments this week? 3 more weeks

Any new symptoms or changes? Feeling great most days, twice last week I felt sick, and I still throw up some mornings. I've been having a lot of tailbone pain the past few days. It gets worse when I'm on my feet a lot. I for sure have a little bump as a of a few days ago. Easy to hide in loose fitting clothes, but it's there. I knew I was going to show super early with twins and since this isn't my first baby. I'm going to get so big

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing

Random: Do you have any cravings? Not specifically, but I have really regained my appetite. Before I could only eat certain things and most foods tasted really weird to me, but it's gotten better. I still think diet coke tastes too sweet, which is normally a guilty pleasure of mine.

[jenn83]

How far along are you? 16w


How big is baby? Dill Pickle - hehe


Upcoming appointments this week? Nothing until July 11th


Any new symptoms or changes? I have a huge belly. TMI notice but I had a slightly brown discharge today which really has my mind all messed up. Other than that - pretty smooth sailing. Still tired.


Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant (this may be UO) - the debate between 9 and 10 months. Its 9 months people; however they say that because I am 16w that I am 4 months - nope. There are not 4 weeks in a month. Its more like 4.5 mostly. To confirm - my LMP is 3/1 so I am a little over 3.5 months. March (1), April (2), May (3), June (4), July (5), August (6), September (7), October (8), November (9) and I am due at the beginning of December. Sorry - that one has been bugging me lately.


Random: Do you have any cravings? NOTHING sounds good lately. I am currently eating a grilled cheese from Sonic - apparently I have an appetite of a 5 year old. In other news I am craving kool-aid - haha.

[jenn83]

typo31 - how was your appointment?

Hugs about the brown discharge.

[tatorhead328]

How far along are you? 14w


How big is baby? Lemon.


Upcoming appointments this week? Had one yesterday. Ultrasounds become less exciting when you see them every 2 weeks.


Any new symptoms or changes? Hopefully I can report back that my nausea is gone. Tonight is the last night I have of Diclegis so I'm praying it doesn't hit me bad when I don't have it anymore. Other than that, just losing my breath at totally random times. And the bump is definitely bumping now.


Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm just ready to find out what these babies are in 2 weeks. The wait is absolutely killing me.


Random: Do you have any cravings? Fast food, all the time. I need to adjust my diet, like, today.

[ldubhawksfan]

BW results all negative and looking good! I'm so relieved!!

MH and I argue pregnancy math all the time.  I'll take all the extra time.  12 weeks (forget the fact that pregnancy doesn't actually start until week 3)?  That's 3 months to me!  

[officedronette]

jrun2013 - I was craving a caprese sandwich so badly today. But I couldN'T find a gluten free one. I ended up trying a new shop that offered their oven-roasted in-house meat sandwiches over fries or salad (LOL x 1000 that I'd pick salad) and had a Turbacado (turkey, bacon, avocado mash). It had a slight gravy on it which thankfully isn't a huge issue for me as I don't need to be celiac-level GF and it was amazeballs.

jenn83 - hugs on the discharge. If you've had sex at all, it could always be related. My OB cleared me, but warned me it is normal to see some degree of spotting afterwards.

ldubhawksfan - yay for good blood work. I can only imagine how relieved you are feeling given your last pregnancy. I'm so glad.

jenn83, I'm with you on the month debate all the way, not a UO to me!

ldubhawksfan, yay for good bloodwork results!

That sounds amazeballs indeed. I think I know what I'm having for dinner!

[typo31]

OK I'm back!

1. 16 +2

2. A roll of duct tape?

3. Had my 16 week appointment, which was very dull but reassuring. Heard the heartbeat and drew blood for spina bifida testing.

4. Feeling good these days aside from heartburn and evening gas pains, both of which I'm just learning to live with.

5. This is terribly awkward time at work, as my position is being shifted between departments. I've been trying to wait to disclose the pregnancy until things were more settled, but today I just couldn't take the anxiety anymore (plus I'm running out of things to wear) and told my current boss. I feel so much better.

6. I'll eat anything. ANYTHING. AND EVERYTHING.

[typo31]

What great news, ldubhawksfan. Time to get excited!
