Sorry this is late! I got home from work at 3AM yesterday morning and got about 3 hours of sleep before heading back to work, so I was in a bit of a daze all day!

2) How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms? Any old symptoms disappear? 
I'm feeling okay - exhausted, but that's definitely due to work not pregnancy.  For the most part, I don't currently have any symptoms...but I'm definitely starting to show a bit...

3) When is your first (or next) appointment? 
I have my 16-week appointment next Monday (the 25th)

4) Rants/Raves/Other? 
Nothing at the moment...pretty much too tired to think, LOL

5) GTKY: What was the best concert you ever saw?
I would say Luke Bryan two years ago...I was able to see the whole show from the pit, and he is just an amazing performer...and damn cute too!

Pretty ok. Exhaustion seems to gotten worse, and nausea is still hanging around, but other than occasional heartburn and RLP, baby and I are doing well! 

 3) When is your first (or next) appointment?
I had one today. It was supposed to be a routine doppler, but they weren't able to find baby's heartbeat, so she (obgyn) sent me to u/s. Baby was fine and very active! Apparently I have an Anterior Placenta and the baby was curled up on it's tummy. It was insane to see how much baby has grown in just a couple of weeks!  

 4) Rants/Raves/Other? 
I would like to rave on my obgyn's office for how great they are! They managed to keep my panic to a minimum and are really understanding of my worries and nerves. 

 5) GTKY: What was the best concert you ever saw?
Definitely Bay Fest in Mobile, AL. It features quite a few fairly famous bands and spans the length of several blocks in the city. The year I sent we saw Alice in Chains, Big and Rich, Flyleaf, and quite a few others that I can't recall at the moment.

I have thrown up a couple of times this week, but the constant nausea actually seems to be better. I also have RLP if I get up too fast or don' rest enough during the day. Pregnancy insomnia is in full force. I've had one normal nights sleep in the last 5 nights. Ugh. 
 3) When is your first (or next) appointment? 
I don't go back until Aug. 15. 
 4) Rants/Raves/Other? 
Other: I had the first person ask me if I was pregnant today. Anyone who is plus size and has weight fluctuations knows what a dangerous question this is. Lol. Thank goodness I was able to say yes instead of, no I've just gained weight. 

Rants: I was up at 2 am this morning. Puking at 2:30. I knocked a glass over as I was running to the bathroom, do I had to clean that up when I was done. My husband had the nerve to roll over and grumpily ask, what is wrong with you. He's lucky I didn't suffocate him in his sleep. Men. Sheesh. 

 5) GTKY: What was the best concert you ever saw?
Not really a concert/music person.

I'm feeling good this week. The only con is that I'm having some stretching and tightness in my uterus but I hear this is normal for 16 weeks. 

 3) When is your first (or next) appointment? 
July 29th for a general office visit then August 19th for an anatomy scan  

 4) Rants/Raves/Other? 
My acne is back. I dealt with it in the early weeks of my pregnancy and was able to clear it up but now it's back again. I never dealt with acne before my pregnancy so I'm having a hard time finding something natural to use.
 
 5) GTKY: What was the best concert you ever saw?
Beyonce! She puts on a really great show!
