1) How many weeks are you?  11w!

2) How are you feeling?  Pretty well, actually.  My stomach is starting to feel tighter, so it might not all be bloat. 

3) Any appointments or tests this week?  Had an appointment on Monday with my OB; saw baby and a strong heartbeat so all, for now, is well.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?   Rave: It's one of my favorite weekends of the year - March Madness has begun.  While my team didn't make it this year, it's still fun to fill out the brackets and compete against my family.  Rant:  work is still dragging me down.  In a way it's keeping me distracted from the PGAL brain, but it's also causing unnecessary anxiety.  I need a vacation.

5)GTKY: What does your beauty regimen consist of?  Cleanser, toner, moisturizer everyday. I usually do foundation, blush, and at least mascara each day.  If I have more time, I'll add the eye shadow.

1) How many weeks are you?  11w!

2) How are you feeling?  Pukes are back today. This shit sucks. I'm ready for the feel good 2nd trimester vibes kick in.   

3) Any appointments or tests this week?  Nope

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?  Wish i could have a couple pints today. :-/

5)GTKY: What does your beauty regimen consist of?  Was using R&F, need to see if the line i use is pregnancy safe. I usually put on makeup every day just to make me feel like a human. Some days it's a full face, other days some coverup and mascara is all I can manage.

1) How many weeks are you? 10 weeks

2) How are you feeling? Fine. Mild nausea. Food aversions. 

3) Any appointments or tests this week? I may or may not have one coming up on Tuesday depending on whether I choose to reschedule. 

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I had to take my elderly pupper to my parents' house yesterday because they can care for her better than we can. Plus, she's happier there. But I miss her

5)GTKY: What does your beauty regimen consist of? I wash my face. Das it. I was never one for make up.

@feeislove Sorry about missing your dog.   One of my pups has been having some health issues and I'll straight break down crying if I think too much about it. 

@Mommaswizz I agree on having a pint today - I'm not even one to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss a glass of wine or beer.

1) How many weeks are you? 11 weeks

2) How are you feeling? Much better. I've started to get that burst of energy!

3) Any appointments or tests this week? NT ultrasound next Friday.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Just happy to have my energy back.

5)GTKY: What does your beauty regimen consist of? Just some moisturizer.

1) How many weeks are you? 9 weeks today

2) How are you feeling? Lots of nausea and vomiting Dr put me on Diclegis. Very tired too can't wait till the first trimester is over so maybe the nausea will go away.

3) Any appointments or tests this week? My last appointment with my RE was today and got to see baby during an ultrasound. Baby was kicking the whole time so cute!

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I just wish the nausea, vomiting, and exhaustion would go away so I could feel like myself again but I am so very happy baby is doing well. 

5)GTKY: What does your beauty regimen consist of? Washing my face and using coconut oil as a moisturizer. I like doing facial masks about once a week also it helps me relax a bit too.

1) How many weeks are you? 8! It's weird being an end of monther - my other two were beginning of the month babies. 

2) How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good overall.

3) Any appointments or tests this week? Finally had my first OB apt today and got to see baby for the first time.  I've been waiting impatiently to see that heart beating!

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? No rants or raves, just glad to finally have that first apt out of the way, we are finally telling family (and my boys) this weeked. 

5)GTKY: What does your beauty regimen consist of? Wash, toner, moisturizer.  If I'm going out in the real world, full make up, if I'm just picking my son up from school, I use some BB cream and mascara.

@laeberge3 I say plan that imaginary vacation to lift you up. Sometimes imagining my toes in the sand helps a lot to get out of the work doldrums. But glad it's at least keeping PGAL brain distracted.
@Mommaswizz I am so counting down the days for second tri and praying that it means I'll have energy and less emotional outbursts.
@feeislove sorry about pupper. I'm sure you gave her a great life and home while you could though, and there's always play dates
@Dinosaur yay! I'm going to look to you as my benchmark and hope that it's only a couple more weeks and I'll start feeling a bit better.
@Amesie13 I love coconut oil, for everything! Moisturizer, hair conditioner, cooking. I even put in on my dog to make his coat shiny. And face masks, I always feel like I'm pampering myself.
@KDeola it's so nice to have that wait over with. We had our scan yesterday and plan to tell family this weekend.

1) How many weeks are you?... 9

2) How are you feeling?... Symptoms come and go. Today is a good day, less nausea. They seem to be getting more frequent so hooray for that. Bloat though is still my main enemy.

3) Any appointments or tests this week?... Nope, first ultrasound was yesterday and went beautifully. Fat little chicken nugget baby with a heartbeat of 174. Next is my first official Prenatal OB next Friday.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?... Rant: ugh! Due to the snowstorm Tuesday, tomorrow at work is going to be hell. Hopefully it's so busy that is just passes quickly, but I swear I feel that two days weekend is just not enough to rest up from this crazy week.

5)GTKY: What does your beauty regimen consist of?... hahahaha beauty regimen! I've never been one to wear makeup, it makes me look like a doll because I have dark features as it is. Since I've been working a dispatch job I roll out of bed at 4 to be at work at 5 and they're lucky if I do my hair, lol. But nightly face wash is a must and like @Amesie13, boy do I love a good weekly or biweekly face mask.

ETA: oops,spelling

1) How many weeks are you?

9!

2) How are you feeling?

Nauseous, and hungry. Food aversions suck. 

3) Any appointments or tests this week?

Follow up from ultrasound.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?

Nada. 

5)GTKY: What does your beauty regimen consist of?

Depends on the day. I rarely get to do a full on glam look nowadays. Always moisturizer of course but some days it's mascara and chap stick.

Happy Friday ladies! 

1) How many weeks are you? *10 weeks 

2) How are you feeling? *a little better, still some slight nausea and sore boobs, but other than that, really hoping to make it to second tri! 

3) Any appointments or tests this week? *I had one on Monday to make sure things were still looking good. I couldn't see baby moving or anything, but I think their equipment isn't state of the art- and it was a new NP practicing her ultra sounds so it probably could have been better! At least things still looked good and baby still had a strong heartbeat

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? *nope 

5)GTKY: What does your beauty regimen consist of? *wash face. Moisturize. Blush. Eyeliner. Mascara.

1) How many weeks are you? 8 weeks!

2) How are you feeling? Awful! Way more exhausted and nauseous with my second pregnancy and I'm running around after a one-year-old all day long.

3) Any appointments or tests this week?not yet, my first midwife appointment is on Monday afternoon :-)

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm just surprised at how bloated and big my belly is already with this second pregnancy although I hear that is pretty normal. Most of the day I am in yoga pants and hoodies because I'm a stay at home mom but I had two dinners out this week with my husband and his boss and literally could not find a single thing To wear! I'm waiting for winter weather to be over because I have a ton of easy things to pull together in the spring and summer

5)GTKY: What does your beauty regimen consist of?
 Cleanse with coconut oil 
 Exfoliate two times a week 
 Apply serum and moisturizer for dehydrated ageing skin 
 Concealer lipgloss bronzer 
ha!  The skincare is super easy but that's about as  complicated as it gets with the make up these days!

1) How many weeks are you?  eight!

2) How are you feeling? Sick all the time still

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? please make this all day sickness subside!

5)GTKY: What does your beauty regimen consist of? Oh boy that is a loaded question! I am a Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay, so I do it all, skin care and full face (most days)
