jessafishy

1) How many weeks are you? 13 Weeks

2) How big is baby? Lemon!

3) How are you feeling? Really good (and would be better if DS would SLEEP, but that's not pregnancy related... lol).

4) Any appointments or tests this week? No appointments until May.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? I keep going back and forth between being happy to have a bump and being annoyed that I have to move to maternity pants so soon. I don't have enough pairs and I'm cheap and don't want to have to buy any more.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? People are my rants. Just people. Annoying people. 

6) GTKY: What is the last book you read?  Say Goodbye for Now by Catherine Hyde. I was so into it I read it in 24 hours.

@natleilynn I don't understand TB. The app has 13 weeks at lemon and 14 weeks at peach but your ticker, which is also from TB, has 13 weeks at peach.

Get your crap together Bump!

natleilynn

@jessafishy at least they're relatively close in size. If one had said strawberry and one had said grapefruit, we would've all been side eyeing TB.

Sparklelily

1) How many weeks are you? 15

2) How big is baby?Orange

3) How are you feeling?Good, I did go into the Dr the day after I fell. The baby was fine and I had a few test done, which showed that my blood glucose was well below the normal range. I guess that could be the cause of my fainting. 

4) Any appointments or tests this week?I have an app. today. Just a routine pregnancy check up and I get my stitches out. 

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?Here's a rave for spring and warmer weather! We went on a family bike ride yesterday and I was grinning like a fool the whole time. 

6) GTKY: What is the last book you read?The last one I finished was "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" old school, but it's been on my list for awhile. Right now I'm reading "What Alice Forgot" I love Liane Moriarty.

Edit: I didn't put "a" before "fool" which made me look like a fool.

jessafishy

@Sparklelily I love Liane Moriarty too! I've only read one of her books so far but it was awesome.

Sparklelily

@jessafishy Big Little Lies is my favorite and HBO just finished a mini series on it.

jessafishy

@Sparklelily I haven't read that book but I did see the mini series and keep meaning to watch it! (You know, in my 5 minutes between DS finally going to sleep and me passing out. )

littlestb

1) How many weeks are you?
12 weeks

2) How big is baby?
Plum

3) How are you feeling?
Definitely feeling better the last couple of days. I haven't needed to nap every day, and when I do it is shorter than it's been the last few weeks. I've been able to eat meat and veggies again more recently so I'm guessing that's helping with my energy too (and spring break)

4) Any appointments or tests this week?
I had my first trimester blood work etc yesterday, and my next appointment is on Monday! So excited to see LO again.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rants-
I play volleyball pretty regularly but my bump is getting a little more consistent these days. It makes my workout clothes tight and I haven't gone public yet with that group of friends so I've been avoiding playing. I just want to hit 14 weeks so I can share with everyone and not just look chubby  or questionably preggo.And play a little more vball (cautiously of course).

Raves- so many raves
1)The weather has been amazing this week. I've spent a lot of time outside and it makes me so happy.
2) I planted some flowers yesterday that are the same types we used in our wedding and that my husband gave me on one of our first dates. More happiness.
3) DH said goodnight and "I love you" to baby last night. I melted.

6) GTKY: What is the last book you read?
I've been reading the Game of Thrones series...I think I'm on book 4? They are fantastic!

StacieGle

1) How many weeks are you? 14

2) How big is baby? Peach

3) How are you feeling? I was really excited last week when it seemed like I was over the nausea bump, but today has been hell.  Yesterday I left the house and had to turn right around to go home to puke and I *amost* didn't make it.  lol Be gone nausea!

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

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant:  I'm already having to wear maternity pants just to be comfortable all day.  Rave: I bought my first girly item for baby girl.

6) GTKY: What is the last book you read? I don't remember the last time I've had time to read a book!  LOLOLOL

NervousNelly825

1) How many weeks are you?
13
2) How big is baby?
Lemon
3) How are you feeling?
Pretty good. Got some bloat and boob pain. Oh and acne!
4) Any appointments or tests this week?
No
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
No
6) GTKY: What is the last book you read?
I don't know probably some dumb romance novel.

@littlestb I've read all the game of thrones that are out and I have to say the fourth was my least favorite. Like I hated it. A lot. I wish I would have just read the cliff notes and skipped to the fifth book. So if you also find the fourth book to be mind numbingly boring I promise the next one is better. 3rd is still my favorite though. 

NervousNelly825

Oh and I just looked it up again and it looks like the next book will be delayed again. I hate George RR Martin so so much. Freaking write the book already! It was "almost done" years ago! I guess that's my rant. 

littlestb

@NervousNelly825 I am finding it really boring! Like stop introducing new people I wanna know how the other characters are doing that haven't died/been killed yet!!! 

NervousNelly825

@littlestb In the beginning of the book he explains how he split one book into two not chronologically (because that would make way too much sense) but by characters. And then in my humble opinion he put the most boring characters in book 4 and all the ones that you were left wondering about it book 3 into book 5. Pissed me off to no end. I love to read and I can't think of another book that was harder to read.  Maybe my genetics textbook. Maybe. It's fun to finally find someone else who is reading the books that can understand my pain.

melarowan

1) How many weeks are you? 13 weeks (plus a day because I'm perpetually late)

2) How big is baby? Lemon

3) How are you feeling? Issues with my low back and legs still from a pre-pregnancy injury, lots of pain.  Wishing I could safely take an NSAID. 

4) Any appointments or tests this week? I'm in the middle of my gestational diabetes test and re-take of NIPT. The drink wasn't too bad, but I wish I could nap through this.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Fatigue is my only major pregnancy symptom, so yay. But, I'd like to have energy to do something, anything for recreation other than napping.

6) GTKY: What is the last book you read? The Starlight Hill series by Heatherly Bell, a predictable, sweet romance series.
