Rants/Raves/Questions? I have to dress business casual for work and none of my nice work pants fit anymore. I have tried all the tricks so its going to be leggings for a while until I decide its time to buy nice maternity pants. 

GTKY: What was your #1 favorite memory from 2016? My husband and I celebrated our 5th anniversary in May 2016. We did our annual photo shoot but this year I decided to wear my wedding dress. It was really exciting to put it back on and also exciting that it still fit! It was really cute seeing my husband's reaction to me wearing it.

How big is baby? a pomegranate 

Appointment updates? I just got back form one everything with the baby looked great but I have a yeast infection I have NEVER had one ever in my life so that was surprising but she said the baby does crazy things down there and not to worry. 

Any new symptoms or changes?  I have had some killer headaches and heartburn I mean so bad I do not want to eat. I was not taking anything because I try not to take any medications but the doctor got upset with me because its causing me to loose weight and told me to take medications so I can eat more than once a day. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing that I can really think of right now. I hope you all have a great year!

GTKY: What was your #1 favorite memory from 2016? I can't say I have a favorite memory. I got a new job, which is a total blessing because my old hours were horrible. Then my husband and I found out we were expecting. Not sure I could ask for a better year. Looking forward to being a mom in 2017 though. =]

@amberp1528 I get heartburn like crazy too. It helps me if I don't eat late and if I have a glass of milk before I lay down. I also won't lay flat until I know I'm in the clear. I'm one that also refuses to take meds unless I have too.

Pomegranate

Appointment updates?
I have an appointment on Wednesday with a Neurologist.  I had seizures a number of years ago (last one was about 12) and my Dr. is concerned about the increased seizure risk due to pregnancy.  Then on Thursday I have an apt with my Dr for the 16 week checkup a week late. 

Any new symptoms or changes? Bump is getting bumpier.  Getting heartburn a bit more often.  I noticed that I am starting to move differently, and have a weird 3rd nipple. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave - Maternity leggings!  Rant - I cant find at all nice looking work pants in maternity sizing.  So frustrated with lack of options.

GTKY: What was your #1 favorite memory from 2016? 
2016 was such a big year for me.  Started a major home remodel with BF.  BF became fiancé. We got knocked up. We got married (found out the knocked up part 3 days before the wedding!) I feel like its such a happy happy whirlwind.  I cannot wait to see what 2017 has in store.

@danijo Any idea where to find the best work pants? I tried some on at Macy's .... and just ugh.

danij0

@merrylea I bought a couple pairs of casual nice pants from swap.com they should arrive today. Fingers crossed they fit. Yesterday I wore a flowy dress and  Old Navy maternity leggings and was super comfy so I bought two cheap flowy dresses on Amazon yesterday to add to my new wardrobe. I haven't actually bought anything at a physical store yet because every time I go I get lost trying to find the maternity section and get frustrated. My friend recommended Macy's and Target.

amberp1528

I bought my maternity slacks on amazon I am pluse size so it has been difficult. I am also very short 5'0 so I need to get them hemened before I start student teaching on the 17th.
