How big is baby (fruit size or other)?

 A chicken nugget according to Pregnant Chicken.

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? 

None. I just had my sons 2.5 yr old checkup today and they asked us to schedule his 3 yr appt but they offered 29aug16 as his birthday is Friday Aug 26. I had to tell her I'll have to call to schedule after I see the OB next week and find out if she's scheduling me at 37 or 38 weeks. We could either squeeze in his appt right before I deliver or wait until it would be the baby's 1 week checkup as well and it would just be a two-for.

so my first pregnancy, hubby went through our entire pantry and threw out half the food. Anything he thought was not healthy. Anything nearing or just past the "best by" date, anything questionable for pregnant women to eat. He literally filled almost an entire rolling drum trash can. It was so sad to see all that food go to waste. And I had just opened a jar of brand new Nutella that he tossed. Ugh. But in a way it was really cute. He was trying to take care of me.

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I'm officially in maternity pants. The belly band was starting to be uncomfortable so I made the switch... now I'm realizing my shirts that I thought I could wear a bit longer are a little short for the pants.
Also, we made pallet bookshelves for the baby's room on a whim this weekend. We live in a new neighborhood and the house next to us is being built right now so we took a pallet from the dumpster... they turned out so cute!

Hmmm, I don't have anything that's sticking out specifically, but I'm always so appreciate of how supportive and protective my hubby is of me! I know he'll be an amazing daddy!

He pays attention to the sodium content in the food we eat a lot more and is definitely more concerned with how we're eating. He's done a lot of cute little things.

@searchingforameaning so sorry you were in a car wreck! I'm glad everything is OK. 

How is many weeks today: 15

How big is baby? Naval orange

Rant/Rave/Symptoms: My morning (night) sickness went away for two weeks. It was so exciting. But now it's come back with a vengeance! Thought it was supposed to be gone by now. I feel all around sick. Plus I keep having hot flashes where I almost faint. Not fun. But my energy is back for the most part! I still fall asleep within minutes of eating dinner but have more energy throughout the day.

Questions: No.

GTKY: I'm a FTM so no. He's been doing more things for me without complaining, which is good.

My husband and I spent the weekend in MN with my family.  The last day we were there, my disabled sister was having a tantrum about something.  My husband went and comforted her and also talked with her about the situation and gave her some advice.  It really made me think what a great dad/parent he is going to be.

Ever since finding out the gender hubby keeps telling me that he is so excited to spoil the baby as much as he spoils me

Since I tend to be pregnant in the summer my husband is always worried if I'm outside too much in the heat/etc.

This!!! The closest I come to a craving is grabbing a bowl of cereal because it sounds better than most real food and requires almost no effort!

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? The size of an onion! 

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Still feeling picky with food and I'm hating the back pain! Aside from that, so excited about having a little boy! DD is excited and so sweet. I can't wait to see them together.

Lol this is funny because I've felt so neglected this pregnancy from DH. First time around he was so nurturing and spoiled me. This time he's impatient with me, cranky, and just all around different. By the weekend it is time for me to get rest and gear up for the week, Saturday he hardly let me nap and yesterday while I was napping he woke me up to ask me a question! I had a chit chat with him about this morning, just sort of disappointed that he's not being super sweet and loving like he was the first time around. He's an awesome dad and husband, I just liked it when we was more nurturing last time around.

14 weeks!

Lemons!

still exhausted. Head aches are slightly more often than not. Still sensitive to smells.

Anyone else feel swollen down there?

Hubs went out and bought the babies each a Vikings set of booties and bibs! It's adorable when he goes shopping alone and thinks of them. He also talks to my belly before bed. Too cute!

@searchingforameaning how scary! Glad you are okay. 14 weeks! Lemon! Anyone else feel like a lemon is smaller than a peach? Still waiting to hear back on our genetic testing! Will be two weeks since the blood draw this Wednesday. Getting anxious to hopefully get peace of mind on the genetic piece (and bonus find out baby's sex). Hubby hasn't really treated me any different, which I like. I want to feel like me still and him not treating me any different helps with that.
