Still all the nausea. Seriously I thought this would go away in 2nd trimester.

@Kathryn0903 - 4 weeks would be really tough! If I remember the first round of vaccinations are at 6 weeks so I would wait for that. You may not even feel recovered to work yet at 4 weeks and the sleep deprivation is real. Do what's best for your family though !

Loft for me too!

Any new symptoms or changes?
Having a lot of nausea still. And some indigestion and heartburn that I didn't have with dd. Also feeling LOTS OF flutters. Love that part.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I am starving constantly. And I'm trying so hard not to gain as much this time around. Having a hard time finding things I can stomach and that will keep me full!

I really shop at a variety of places. There's a store here called Long Tall Sally for tall women and I love that store. I live in business clothes for work so I probably only own 2 outfits for lazy days. The rest is all business attire. Booooo.

@Kathryn0903 there are definitely families that do have their LOs in daycare that early if the daycare will accept them. However, I agree with @bubblesmtu that 6 weeks is "better" since they have their vaccinations. Are you needing to return at 4 weeks for a specific reason?  Having had a csection myself, I don't think I'd have physically been ready to return at that times.

How big is baby? Apple, lemon or navel orange depending on app

Upcoming appointments this week?
Just bloodwork.  Sadly have to go to two separate labs to get it all completed.

Any new symptoms or changes?
Does bitchiness count?  Lots of people are driving me nuts this week.

@bumpybump I teach college and semester starts end of August. It would be ideal to be back for the start of the semester, but I'm open to the fact that I may not be back and ready at the start of the semester. Daycare did say they prefer 6 weeks, but will accept a baby at 4 weeks as long as a doctor approves it. Now knowing that vaccines aren't till 6 weeks, it would probably be better to wait till then.

14 weeks and the size of a peach. 

Next appt is not for a month at 18 weeks and we scheduled my 20 week ultrasound. 

No new symptoms. My insomnia is picking up, between 1am and 4am I have the hardest time getting back to sleep. 

I shared my rant in twatwaffle Tuesday... waiting over an hour to be seen at my appt yesterday. 

I like shopping at TJ Maxx, Burlington, Marshalls but they can be very hit or miss. If I'm looking for something specific Gap or Target.

To add to my rant - the office that was supposed to do the nt scan/first trip screening never called to schedule an appt. I had called and they said they give me a call back once my file was reviewed. so now I only have the blood test but no ultrasound because they won't do it in the second trimester.

How big is baby? lemon or peach

Upcoming appointments this week? none until 16 weeks


Any new symptoms or changes? sensitive skin I have rashes all over from using a new product, and I have redness starting around my nose, which I hope isn't the beginnings of the "pregnancy mask"

Rants/Raves/Questions? my belly is growing oh-so incrementally, but my thighs seem to be softening and expanding by the minute! I used to bike every day, but the weather has been crap and I haven't trusted my balance (had a few bad wipe outs at 9ish weeks). I took that exercise for granted! I gotta get on the elliptical stat.


GTKY: Favorite store to shop at when not pregnant? H&M I'm cheap and I like basics. I used to dress really loud and crazy, I think I used that all up for my lifetime lol. 

DDRGirlie

How far along are you? 14 weeks with twins!  This will be last week posting here!

How big is baby? I have 2 lemons!

Upcoming appointments this week?  Not until March 3rd.

Any new symptoms or changes?  Im happy to say my energy is coming back little by little, but it's also bringing a little bit of heartburn with it.  I just carry tums with me in case of an emergency

Rants/Raves/Questions?  My in-laws have been great helping me paint rooms and helping make room for the twins.  I don't have any questions right now.


GTKY: Favorite store to shop at when not pregnant?  I love J.Crew.  They do have maternity stuff but it seems to be just 2 pairs of realllllyyyy expensive pants that i can only wear for a few months.  no thanks. I did buy some maternity clothes at Loft though.  They are super cute and comfy.  Best when gotten on sale
