1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 

 17 weeks, pomegranate/ playstation controller

2) How are you feeling?
Im getting quite alot of headaches this week, but that could be down to heat. Other than I'm feeling fine. 

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
No, don't know the sex yet, hopefully find out 3 weeks today. Yes I have a small but established bumpy now lol. 

4) Any appointments this week/last?

Had appointment on Thursday with my midwife, got to hear baby's heartbeat for the first time which was lovely, all is well. 

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Struggling to find a dress for a wedding I'm attending in just over 2 weeks. This stage of pregnancy is really awkward for dressing up occasions. Bumps Too small for maternity wear but feeling hideous and uncomfortable in normal size clothes. 

6) GTKY: Have you started buying stuff for baby yet? ( e.g. Pram, cot etc)  If so,
what sort of things have you purchased? 
Not really purchased anything yet, waiting to find out sex of the baby, then I will purchase most of the things we need. May not need alot if it's a boy as have all of DS stuff.

1)How far along are you? How big is baby? 

17 weeks, Pomegranate, or large order of fries... not sure about the sizing on that... 

2) How are you feeling?
Pretty good, just tired. Starting to have difficulty being comfortable sleeping. I also seem to still have some food aversions to meat... so weird. 
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?

Boy! I'm in a strange stage between looking pregs and just being kind of fluffy... I can 'flaunt it' when I want it, or make it more conspicuous. 

4) Any appointments this week/last?

Nothing since 14 weeks, but we have our anatomy scan next week at 18 weeks! Cant wait! 

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

I mentioned this on the FTM thread, but I haven't gained any weight... but I've honestly been eating whatever I want and not trying to reduce my intake. On one hand I'm glad, but on the other, a bit worried. I'll be sure to ask the Dr. next week. I did start my pregnancy being in an 'obese' BMI category, even though I dont really consider myself that just overweight... 

6) GTKY: Have you started buying stuff for baby yet? ( e.g. Pram, cot etc)  If so, what sort of things have you purchased? 
We've only just gotten gifts of things for the baby, but we are starting to look for furniture (my parents have offered to gift us the furniture since my grandparents did it for me), and start working on the registry. We do need to build a closet in what will be the Baby's room so we are having the contractor come out here in a few weeks.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 

19 weeks. Baby is the size of a mango.

2) How are you feeling?
Pretty good. A bit dizzy sometimes, especially if I have to stand for more than 15-20 minutes.
 
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?

It's a girl! We found out last Saturday. I have a small bump. Friends and co-workers are starting to notice, but an outsider probably can't see I'm pregnant. 
 

4) Any appointments this week/last?

We had an elective ultrasound on Saturday. The tech also checked everything and gave baby a clean bill of health.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

It was so much fun finding out if baby is a boy or girl. We didn't have a preference, so we knew we'd both be ecstatic with either outcome. I didn't expect it, but in a way it makes us more connected to the baby. 

A lot of people thought it was going to be a boy, so it's been fun sharing the news and surprising everyone.

6) GTKY: Have you started buying stuff for baby yet? ( e.g. Pram, cot etc)  If so, what sort of things have you purchased? 
We picked out a pram, but we're waiting to order it. We're looking into cots and changing tables. We did purchase a couple pieces of clothing after finding out it's a girl.

@abcola I asked my midwife about (no) weight gain and was told that everyone gains differently. They'll keep a close eye on the growth of baby. I try to eat healthily and have extra snacks throughout the day to keep myself fueled. I was really happy that the ultrasound showed that baby girl measured a couple days ahead. That was reassuring to find out.
