1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 13 weeks today! Size of an arc reactor (Iron man), a scoop of ice cream (smallest one every I guess) or a watch face (biggest one ever). These sizes are so weird.

2. How are you feeling? Meh. I can't eat enough food, its a problem! I woke up at 2:45 with a headache and so hungry I couldn't go back to sleep. 

3. Any appointments this coming week? NT scan monday!

4. Rants, raves, questions? Job interview next wednesday or a long term sub position. I will only take it if it gives me a lot after day care, but its a rant and a rave. I felt like I needed to contribute while I still can, since late next year if we get hit with anything I will be worthless. I'm having some major mommy guilt over it. 

5. GTKY: What are you binging right now? A TV show? A good book? Pizza? The magicians! Even DH, who rolled his eyes and worked through ep 1-6, is now watching it with me. season finale of season 1 tonight or tomorrow hopefully.

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 
16 weeks! Crazy! 

2. How are you feeling? 
Good! Really noticing my bump lately, and movement every now and then. I can’t wait for it to be more regular. 

3. Any appointments this coming week? 
Anatomy scan Feb 11th! 

4. Rants, raves, questions? 

5. GTKY: What are you binging right now? A TV show? A good book? Pizza?
Mmmmm pizza. I made some BBQ chicken pizza the other night for dinner. 
DH and I just started The Good Doctor, I’m still on the fence about it, but it’s a decent show while we wait for our favorites to come back.

@SmashJam I can’t get DH into The Magicians, major eye rolls from him. Good luck with your scan and interview!

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 
16 weeks. Depends on the app. The Bump says Avocado, but what does that mean? They come in so many sizes! So according the the other tracker I use, baby is the size of a can of Spam (not sure how I feel about that one) or a can of soda or the size of the cardboard roll for duct tape. Not loving this week's comparisons! @SmashJam looks like you're using the geeky setting on Babysizer.com too!
2. How are you feeling? 
 A bit stuffy feeling, a couple headaches and a little discomfort in the lower abdomen that I think is RLP. Had a little nausea this morning, but I think that was because I was too warm, as soon as I took my jacket off I was better. And my boobs still hurt.
3. Any appointments this coming week?
Not this week, but I have one this coming Monday.
4. Rants, raves, questions? 
Rant. How dare the lady at the maternity store make me feel like a freak because of my breast size. I took a chance in going there knowing I probably wouldn't find what I needed, but the specialty shop I usually have to go to is like 45 minutes away on a good traffic day and I just don't want to trek all the way out there. I have a smaller ribcage and larger breasts and needed a new bra because I've sized out of everything I own up top. Apparently that and my butt is where ALL my weight is going. Before pregnancy I was a 32F/32G, and now I'm currently in a GG or H (UK sizes, because US sizes are stupid) and the sales lady kept saying she'd never heard of such a size, and was I sure, and even yelled across the store to the other associates to see if they had ever heard of such a size so all the people shopping there now also know my measurements. The she kept saying annoying things like "well if you've sized out of your bra, you probably need new pants too". No, I don't need pants, I need a bra. Also, I almost never wear pants because I hate leg prisons and I have a drastic hip to waist ratio (normally), so skirts and dresses are my friends.

I'll leave out the rest of the experience, but things got more annoying from there and I made a complaint to the district manager. Body shaming is not ok ever, but especially not ok to do to a pregnant woman. Seriously?! With all the changes going on in our bodies, especially for us first time moms who might be a little shocked at how quickly some of the changes happen, we don't need that. Man I miss boxing right now!

5. GTKY: What are you binging right now? A TV show? A good book? Pizza?
We've been watching Boy Meets World on Hulu, because I can't handle anything with any sort of serious tone at the moment.

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 
14 weeks! Woot Second tri! Peach, troll doll, or house mouse

2. How are you feeling? 
Terrible. The nausea had started to fade but it has made a resurgence. Plus I have a cold so I just feel like crap. Also super irregular in the potty dept. 

3. Any appointments this coming week? 
Next Wednesday I have a regular OB appt. After that we will make our FB announcement so that's exciting.

4. Rants, raves, questions? 
When do FTMs start to show generally? I feel like I am a little bit, but I'm also pretty sure it's just my uterus pushing up/out some belly fat. My pants still fit so that's why I think I am imagining things.

5. GTKY: What are you binging right now? A TV show? A good book? Pizza?
nothing much. unless sleeping counts

acunamatada

@noideawhatshesdoing wtf kind of response is that from the sales lady?! You went for a bra, asked for a bra, not pants! Idiot. 

@moguippy I started noticing a bump around 16 weeks with my first, but I’d say it was closer to 20+ before it was anything noticeable to people who didn’t know me

noideawhatshesdoing

@acunamatada Right?! Thank you for understanding! Plus I was wearing this f*ing skirt when I went in there https://www.pinupgirlclothing.com/traci-lords-pencil-skirt-juvenile-delinquent-print.html so trust me, I didn't look like I needed pants! Granted, I think that's the last time I'll be wearing that skirt for a while because it's not comfortable anymore. I'll just make the trek out to the other side of town for a bra I guess, and I'm shopping online for clothes because I'm not going back into the maternity store (not my style anyway).

@moguippy I'm 16 weeks and feel like this morning is the first I've looked like there is something going on there other than a food baby. I was told at my workout last night I don't look pregnant yet even though I feel like I look like a stuffed sausage in my workout gear at the moment. So it will probably be a few more weeks before it's noticeable to others.

moguippy

@acunamatada @noideawhatshesdoing thanks. I'm certain it's just in my head, and it's probably just some belly fat being accentuated from everything shifting and moving lol.

It's very common for pregnant women to have hypothyroid (i'm assuming you are hypo and not hyper). Basically your thyroid can't keep up enough for you and baby. You will see an endocrinologist and they will give you Synthroid (or some generic of it). It't pregnancy safe.  Chances are you will go back to normal after delivery.  If you search thryoid we had a whole conversation about it on another thread (but I don't remember which).

@SmashJam good luck at the interview! Also those are weird sizes because they are all different!! 

@noideawhatshesdoing so sorry to hear about the awful shopping experience! 

@moguippy I feel like I grew out of my pants fast! I think looking pregnant depends on what I'm wearing. I have one shirt that seems to accentuate my bump! 

1.How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 15 weeks! Naval orange or magic 8 ball

2. How are you feeling? Less nausea, more headaches, and throwing up at least once a day. A couple episodes of RLP. I am starting to get some energy back though so that's good!

3. Any appointments this coming week? 16 week appointment next week!

4. Rants, raves, questions? My office is in the middle of moving locations and it is so annoying! That's my only rant for today so far. 

5. GTKY: What are you binging right now? A TV show? A good book? Pizza?
Currently watching ER since its on Hulu. And binging on pizza tonight while DH plays golf league.

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 

13 weeks


2. How are you feeling? 

I’m currently sick with sinus stuff so hard to tell if my
fatigue is still baby or just sickness or most likely a combination. Also food adversion. I can’t eat anything - I’ll take a bite or two and then not be able to eat anymore 

3. Any appointments this coming week? 

No- had a quick one on Monday- they checked my thyroid and it was good- so that’s positive. 

4. Rants, raves, questions? 

My MIL is decorating my daughters big girl room for her birthday. Furniture and all. I have no clue where she is at on the process and I’m getting nervous about things being done on time. I know they will be but still

5. GTKY: What are you binging right now? A TV show? A good book? Pizza?

H and I are watching shameless on Netflix-
