How big is baby (fruit size or other)? The babies are the size of peaches!

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Sinus issues and insomnia are my main symptoms. Both are really annoying!

Questions? None

GTKY: What's your favorite book? I don't think I have a fav, I read a lot. a recent series I read was the Kathleen Turner series, about a girl and she's in love with two brothers. Also she tends to be the target of crimes and is always in trouble. Fun, easy reads! I believe their were 5 books.

@Bubblegum5586 whenever I think healthy + high calorie, I immediately think of nuts. Good, healthy fats and they're pretty satisfying! Or go with a smoothie with protein powder.

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Yellow canary or a swiss army knife

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Doing good today. Had some gas pain the last two days but my run this morning helped take care of that!

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? an avocado (though one app said that last week,too) or an action figure

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Still don't think I look like I have a bump, just pudgy and a little wider. I'm ready to start looking preggo! Also hoping I might feel the baby move this week

Questions? Have you ladies started registering? I like using babylist, but I keep changing things up as I read more reviews!

GTKY: What's your favorite book? I love to read, so it's hard to pick a favorite. But, Harry Potter, The Kite Runner, and the Outlander series are all great

We have the same taste in books! The Night Circus was great, and I love Outlander--I thought the Starz series is pretty good so far, too.

I have been loving the Chobani yogurt flips lately, though they have more sugar than I'd like. Also cheese and trail mixes with nuts and dried fruit (and sometimes dark chocolate). Apples and peanut butter are good, too.

Finally starting to pop a little! Or maybe I'm just wearing more obvious things.

Still looking for really good maternity leggings that don't look see thru when you bend over! If anyone has advice lmk!

Questions?
none

GTKY: What's your favorite book?
Most recent favorite has been The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah or Me Before You by JoJo Moyes. I love to read! I'm a huge book nerd.

@mmclark10 my cousin gave me the night circus to read but I haven't read it yet! She's totally obsessed with it!

OMG, Outlander... I am in the middle of book 3 and I cannot put it down! Loving it!

mmclark10

@cait5413 @tisunge602 I finally broke down and started buying the books so I don't have to wait for them from the library.  It's a good bet I'll read them again sometime!  I'm holding out for the Outlander tv series until this baby arrives so I have something to binge watch while nursing!

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Jalapeño 

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I'm still really anxious. We found out a week ago that there's over an 80% chance that the baby has a chromosomal disorder. So this has been on my mind constantly. I had a CVS procedure done yesterday (which was scary feeling them put a needle into your placenta through your belly) and now I'm anxious about the risk of miscarriage that comes along with doing the test. We get the test results next week, and I don't think I'll be able to rest easy until then.

Questions?

GTKY: What's your favorite book?

I like royal fiction, specifically books by Philippa Gregory.

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? jalapeno or matchbox car

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I'm finally feeling better without the whole day nausea, however sometimes it just hits me out of blue and then will go away just as fast. I am still in the in-between stage of "is she getting fatter or is she pregnant" 

Questions? 

GTKY: What's your favorite book? The Time Traveler's Wife, Harry Potter, The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. Currently reading the Outlander series as well and I also enjoyed Night Circus. I usually have a couple books going at a time so that I can switch depending on my mood but I have been so busy with work recently that I only have one book that I am reading right now.

@cbpalagi Hang in there, the waiting is very tough.  We had to wait a week for the Harmony NIPT results and it was a very hard week.  Just remember to stay positive, no matter what happens.  Try not to jump ahead to getting results and what that means until you know for sure. Thinking of you!

cbpalagi

@mmclark10 thanks. Waiting is the worst part. It's all I can think about all the time. It's so hard to work these days because my mind is constantly going elsewhere. We should hopefully have the preliminary results on Tuesday.

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Hot Jalapeno

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms?  Things are starting to trail off which I thought would feel great but somehow it makes me feel nervous and anxious.  I still have food aversions.  

I went to the doc on Wednesday and heard the heartbeat. She told me to start enjoying the pregnancy and it is ok to tell people.  I told my co-workers yesterday and it was a relief!

Questions?

GTKY: What's your favorite book? The World According to Garp - Anything by John Irving really.
