How far along are you? 14w2d, woohoooooo, finally second trimester!!!! How big is baby? Ovia says beetroot Upcoming appointments this week? Not for 3 weeks! Very strange after seeing the doctor every week from the start. Any new symptoms or changes? Started feeling a weird pressure, like things are stretching out? Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm anxiously waiting for the NIPT results. Hopefully getting them this week. Random: What are you watching at the moment (tv/Netflix/whatever)? We just started the new season of OITNB last night and I even stayed up until 11 to watch the end of an episode! A miracle considering I've been consistent in falling asleep mid-anything at 10 every night

How far along are you?: 15w3d How big is baby?: Navel orange (WTE) / Box of Crayons (Ovia) Upcoming appointments this week?: Next Monday for 16w visit. I hope there's a sono involved because H will be there for the first time since 6w. I'm not sure though. If not I hope they will at least try the doppler so H can hear the heartbeat. Any new symptoms or changes?: Every time I think the fatigue is letting up I start feeling sleepy again Rants/Raves/Questions?: So far I'm not digging this whole "I'm starving! *eats something small* OMG I'm so full I feel like I'm going to vomit" feeling. Like I just ate Cheerios for breakfast and I think I need to go lie down for a few minutes in my office. Random: What are you watching at the moment (tv/Netflix/whatever)?: Just finished OITNB season 5. Will probably go back to Jessica Jones soon. The iZombie season finale is tomorrow night and I'm excited, it's one of my favorite shows right now.

How far along are you? 17 w (I had to go back last week to see how far along I was! Lol).
How big is baby? A turnip
Upcoming appointments this week? 2 weeks
Any new symptoms or changes? Just heartburn and acid reflux that's trying to kill me. Also, still tired.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm supposed to be hearing soon from the large hospital that will be doing my NT and genetic counseling. We will find out the sex at that time too. But for some reason it is taking forever to get the appointment set up. I don't know if that's from my doctor's office or theirs.
Random: What are you watching at the moment (tv/Netflix/whatever)? I don't have any specific show I am watching right now. Mostly I flip through the stations to see what's on and usually land on a movie.

How far along are you?: 15w2d
How big is baby?: Navel orange (I looked up my 15 wks pic with DD and was holding an orange)
Upcoming appointments this week? No, next week!
Any new symptoms or changes?: nope
Rants/Raves/Questions?: So I applied to a city job right around when I got my bfp. It was a long shot, but first time it had posted in 5 yrs so I had to try. I just found out last week that I made it through to the first interview! It will be in a few weeks. I'm freaking out at 1) how to hide this growing bump, 2) wtf am I thinking if I were to start a new job before the baby because that means I would still be in probation, not covered under fmla, and I wouldn't get much leave. Ooy. Getting ahead of myself since it's super competitive, but wtf!!
Random: What are you watching at the moment (tv/Netflix/whatever)?: we binged on Mozart in the jungle a few months ago, and need to check out season 5 of GoT next, but I'm also trying to convince dh to watch big brother this summer again. I feel like enjoying some mindless tv!

How far along are you? 16w
How big is baby? A Poire belle Helene or a poached pear 🍐 (Ovia)
Upcoming appointments this week? I have an intake appointment at my new OB with the nurse on Thursday. I'm excited and nervous!!
Any new symptoms or changes? I keep thinking I feel some flutters but I also have a super gassy belly so I'm having trouble deciphering between the 2 at this point!
Rants/raves/questions: I'm impatiently waiting my quad screen results but they take 2 weeks to get! 1 more week to go!
Random: What are you watching at the moment (tv/Netflix/whatever)? I've been watching One Tree Hill to fall asleep at night. It's definitely a guilty pleasure!

How far along are you? 14 weeks tomorrow!
How big is baby? I don't know what Ovia will say tomorrow, but hopefully it's not XL Laduree Macaron
Upcoming appointments this week? We have an ultrasound tomorrow to find out the babies' sexes, I'm pretty excited to know if Gianna is getting brothers, sisters, or a brother and sister!
Any new symptoms or changes? Nausea is totally gone. Tailbone pain is kicking my ass. And after 12 weeks of no weight gain, I've now gained 5lbs in the 2 weeks since my last appointment and am definitely bumpin. I'd say I look about where I was 19 weeks pregnant with my daughter.
Rant: I'm a little annoyed that my H told everyone at our daughter's birthday party this weekend that we would be finding out the sex this Tuesday. I hadn't told anyone, even my mom who lives with us. Now I feel like they're all going to be texting us Tuesday asking. My SIL (my brother's wife) already asked about it again yesterday and she's really not even a nosey person, so I know that his family who is all up in everyone's business is totally going to be on top of it. And one of my best friends texted me asking if it was boys because she thought the outfits I put on the baby dolls in our "announcement" looked boyish. What if the babies don't cooperate though? It took forever with our daughter and we almost left without finding out, now there's 2 babies for the ultrasound tech to try and get a good look at. And mostly, I just want to tell people in my own time. Same with finding out I was pregnant in general, and then that we were having twins, it was nice just knowing the two of us and then telling people after we had time to process and share the excitement. I know I'm making too big a deal out of it. H says just to ignore texts or tell them they have to wait for the big reveal (I mean we aren't having a party or anything, so that doesn't even make sense). Anyways, end rant.
Random: What are you watching at the moment (tv/Netflix/whatever)?: I've been watching the new season of Orange is the New Black and I'm excited for the new season of Big Brother!

How far along are you? 17w3d
How big is baby? A chipmunk.
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope. I went last week and the HR was 155-160 and everything looked good. Anatomy scan is scheduled for 7/19!!
Any new symptoms or changes? Still congested. Dr said to try Claratin D so I need to pick that up. My stomach has been a little uneasy lately too but not completely sick.
Rants/Raves/Questions? We went to BRU for H's first time yesterday and there was so much stuff. I'm pretty sure I don't need everything on their check list, or have room in our house for it.
Random: What are you watching at the moment (tv/Netflix/whatever)? On tv we are watching Married at First Sight, MAFS: Second Chances, Still Star Crossed (which is awful), and anything on PBS Masterpiece Classic. Binging Law & Order SVU, Shark Tank (watch when it's on), and Indian Summers (on Prime)

ldubhawksfan, good luck! There's no harm in exploring the opportunity and seeing what comes of it. In terms of hiding the bump, a plain black shift and a blazer should go a long way. Add a "statement necklace" to draw the eye up. If you get the job, who knows, you might be able to negotiate those things. I was surprised to talk to another attorney who switched jobs pregnant and was able to negotiate for leave as part of her hire package. Wow them, then worry about the details. babydsmama, I <3 OTH so much. I support that decision.

16w3d.
I have an avocado baby.
Next appointment isn't until July 6, unless I call in a panicked "I need a doppler check now" anxiety emergency, that I'm hoping to avoid.
Nothing really new - still feeling movement, but not consistently or convincingly enough for PgAL brain, still feeling mostly ok most of the time but then randomly puking.
I really need this kid to start with the convincing movement. I hate how much my MMC has scarred me, but it has, and I can't just trust that no ute news is good ute news.
We are finally caught up on Veep and are plowing through Season 3 of Kimmy Schmidt. I'm also hoping we'll start regularly watching Jeopardy! again, because I am a huge fan and a life goal of mine is to be on Jeopardy! Maybe some day when I don't have young children/am pregnant. The past two testing rounds I've missed the online tests because of toddler scheduling issues/pregnancy fatigue.

officedronette - We love Jeopardy too! My BIL actually passed the tests and got the letter that said we will call you within the next X months if we want you on, but they never called We watch all the time though, and once they announce the final Jeopardy category we try and guess the answer during the commercial break (as in, before they read the question. We do not have a high success rate )

Upcoming appointments this week? None this week, but we find out the sex of the babies next week!
Any new symptoms or changes? I'm feeling so much better. The nausea is mostly gone, and now that I'm not taking Declegis every night, I'm not as exhausted. Second tri feels so much better!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'M JUST DYING TO KNOW WHAT THESE BABIES ARE! I'm ready to start naming them!
Random: What are you watching at the moment (tv/Netflix/whatever)? I've been reading constantly so not much TV. We threw on Arrested Development the other day, so might rewatch that.

He didn't do so well (the guy who beat him then went on a crazy winning streak), so he was really disappointed, but I'm so proud of him for making it on the show! I am good at some categories, but don't have the wealth of knowledge across all subjects that requires. Very impressed by those who do.

officedronette it's one of my life goals to be on jeopardy too! I actually made it to the interview stage a couple of years ago. My 18 month window of a possible callback has come and gone though. Hopefully someday!

How far along are you? 15w3d How big is baby? Navel orange Upcoming appointments this week? Next week Any new symptoms or changes? Just a bigger belly. Rants/Raves/Questions? I finally told boss man today. His reaction? "I know, you already told me." Umm...no, I haven't. He knew we wanted to try soon but that does not equal already pregnant. So he says, "Well, with how long it takes you, I figured it would happen quickly, so I just assumed you were." Then he asked if I would come back to work Jan 1 if he turned one of the offices into a nursery. I had to walk away - such an awkward conversation. Random: What are you watching at the moment (tv/Netflix/whatever)? Add me to the just started OITNB club! H and I just finished Master of None and Silicone Valley. And we are fascinated by MAFS ( rooskie).

Wow sizzleb. I'm sorry your boss sounds like a piece of work. jrun2013 & cakewench - I was on Cash Cab many years ago, which was fun, but that was my husband's dream, not mine. I really hope if I manage to get on Jeopardy! that I don't embarrass myself. My luck my show would be all geography, earth science, and sports. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How big is baby? Ovia says jalapeno
Upcoming appointments this week? Not until July 18
Any new symptoms or changes? Heartburn is becoming more frequent now that the nausea has subsided. Also, nothing sounds good food-wise. Last night I was all excited for dinner, got home, made said dinner and couldn't eat it.
Rants/Raves/Questions? None really.
Random: What are you watching at the moment (tv/Netflix/whatever)? I'm re-watching a lot--blame it on nostalgia. Right now it's West Wing

Hey everyone! PAIF-brain AW update: After an uneventful few weeks I woke up to some bleeding this morning, accompanied by cramping. I couldn't tell if the cramping was uterine or gas/bowel in nature so I freaked out and called my OB's office. They were amazing and invited me right in for an ultrasound and cervix check. Of course, by the time I got there it had stopped - and there was the baby, punching away and hiccuping and looking so, so cute. I'm really glad I called and that they were so understanding.
How far along are you? 17w today
How big is baby? Large McDonald's fries yummmmmm
Upcoming appointments this week? See my AW above.
Any new symptoms or changes? I THINK I might be feeling the occasional movement?
Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope.
Random: What are you watching at the moment (tv/Netflix/whatever)? Just finished Master of None, slowly working my way through OITNB but not thrilled with this season. I also watch CLAWS which is so fun, and TURN on AMC. I watch a lot of TV!

How far along are you? 13 weeks, 5 days.
How big is baby? Peapod
Upcoming appointments this week? Nothing until July 13.
Any new symptoms or changes? Feeling better the past 2 weeks.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm annoyed because I found out the in network imaging center I had my 6 week US at is affiliated with an out of network hospital. I was billed $54 from the imaging center, which was expected but an additional $643 from the hospital (which did nothing). I was told I wouldn't be billed by the hospital but I was so my insurance company is fighting it.
Random: What are you watching at the moment (tv/Netflix/whatever)? We are working through House of Cards and I saw the first 3 OITNB episodes but I keep falling asleep.

17w today
Pomagranete (Ovia), Turnip (WTE)
Nothing until July 11
No new symptoms per se. I have been having a hankering for Pizza Hut thin crust though
No game shows for me - apparently we have some smart ones in this group!! Rave/AW: We had a red, white, blue, and watermelon too pictures with DD. They came out SOOOO freaking cute!! I'll share the picture from my phone shortly.
Honestly, I mainly just watch HGTV if I watch anything at all. Not a lot of time for TV.
