1) How many weeks are you? 14! Yay for second trimester! 

2) How big is baby? Size of a lemon according to my ticker! 

3) How are you feeling? Pretty good! @emwj10187 I definitely think I've felt a baby flutter once or twice too. So weird to feel anything so early, but that's exactly what it feels like! 

4) Any appointments or tests this week? None this week

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Just looking forward to a warmer week! We are going to get into the 60s for the first time woohoo! This Southern girl living in New England has had enough cold for one Winter! 

6) GTKY: Do you enjoy cooking? What is your favorite thing to make? I love it! Since being pregnant not so much, because I don't want to look at it after I've been cooking it for an hour lol. I like to cook most anything, but I have a family recipe for homemade caramel cake that I really like making. I always like making the caramel! It's sooo good, but I always wait for an event to take it to, because I don't need a whole one in the house!

I'll guess I'll stick around on Saturdays! Baby is measuring slightly behind. My NT paperwork says 10/17 now instead of 10/14, but they said they won't actually change my date at this point *shrug*

1) How many weeks are you? 13

2) How big is baby? Lemon

3) How are you feeling? Pretty good! Super tired in the afternoons but that's just life now.

4) Any appointments or tests this week? This past week I had my NT scan, and a follow up OB appointment. Everything looked great. Should have my blood work back in a week or so.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

6) GTKY: Do you enjoy cooking? What is your favorite thing to make? I do. I love cooking and baking when I have the time and don't have a toddler at my feet. When I feel rushed I hate it. I love making different marinades from scratch for steak or chicken, and baking cookies from scratch is one of my favorite things to do period.

1) How many weeks are you?
12 weeks. Home stretch for the first trimester!
2) How big is baby?
plum
3) How are you feeling?
good. Felt round ligament pain today as I got up from the couch. Ouchy but only lasted a few seconds.
4) Any appointments or tests this week?
Meeting with my OB on Wednesday. Have just been dealing with my family doctor up until now.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
when did you STM pop(get your true baby bump?) With your first. I don't think I can feel my uterus yet and the one bump I have is blump (really bloated)
6) GTKY: Do you enjoy cooking? What is your favorite thing to make?
I prefer to bake but I do most of the cooking at home. I recently made homemade Chicken Pot Pie and it was delicious! Better than my mom's (shhh

itsamurphything

1) How many weeks are you? 12 weeks. Why did I think that 13 weeks was the end of the first trimester?

2) How big is baby? A plum!

3) How are you feeling? much better than I have been. Nausea is slowly subsiding, and I'm able to actually eat vegetables now! I am loving smoothies and fresh vinager-y vegetables (salad, pickled veggies, etc). I am having some round ligament pain I guess? Sometimes when I move quickly or sneeze. I have been going for long walks and get a sore groin afterwards sometimes. 


4) Any appointments or tests this week? NT ultrasound and blood work this Wednesday. A little nervous but excited to see baby 

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Ooooh I agree with @MamanBee I am looking forward to actually looking pregnant and not just chubby. Sometimes my belly looks normal and sometimes like I've been eating way too many cheeseburgers. 

6) GTKY: Do you enjoy cooking? What is your favorite thing to make?
I love to cook. Hopefully that will continue as I will be cooking for this little family! I make great Thai curries and my fiancé and I like to experiment with new recipes on the weekends. When we travel, we always take cooking classes in each new country we visit. I also love to bake - dairy free versions of all typical recipes as I am lactose intolerant!

1) How many weeks are you? 12

2) How big is baby?  A plum

3) How are you feeling? Completely knackered. I've been dealing with a sick toddler and still suffering some nausea and MS.

4) Any appointments or tests this week? NT scan on Thursday YAY! I'm excited to see something that looks more baby and less jelly bean. But I'm always nervous about the NT numbers. Stupid brain.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Please tell me all my first tri symptoms will magically disappear at the end of week 13. It will right? Right ? Yes!!!

6) GTKY: Do you enjoy cooking? What is your favorite thing to make? I do when I'm not rushing around and doing a gazillion other things at the same time. I do enjoy making beautiful cakes and cupcakes for family birthdays. But that's only a few times a year. My favourite meal thing to make would be my slow cooked beef ragu with tagliatelle pasta. It's pretty easy, it's cheap, and super delicious.

1) How many weeks are you? 13, one more week until second tri!!

2) How big is baby? Lemon

3) How are you feeling? Feeling good! Had a tiny bit of brown spotting on Friday but nothing terrible, and I'm attributing it to my SCH healing. No spotting yesterday or today. Crossing my fingers that at the next appt, it will be completely gone.

4) Any appointments or tests this week? Not this week

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing that I can think of.

6) GTKY: Do you enjoy cooking? What is your favorite thing to make? No, I don't like to cook. I do like to bake though. I really like making cookies and cakes.

1) How many weeks are you? 14

2) How big is baby? peach

3) How are you feeling? pretty great finally!

4) Any appointments or tests this week? I just had the blood work done for genetic testing, so I am anxious to hear about that in a week or so. Otherwise no appointments until my next OB check at the end of the month.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? I have a love/hate relationship with the fact that I am showing so much faster this time. I just look kind of thick/ fat, and I have been getting serious side eye from some ladies at work haha. I am planning to tell everyone later in the week (after telling my bosses).

6) GTKY: Do you enjoy cooking? What is your favorite thing to make? Normally yes, I love cooking. However being pregnant and sick, I haven't enjoyed it as much. Now that I am starting to feel better, I am hoping that my love of cooking will return!

@emwj10187 & @ksf13 I swear I was feeling baby on Saturday and a couple of times since! Yay!!
