It looks like people are in favor of this again? I haven't heard many "Saturday" people speak up, but it can't just be me! I will start: 

How many weeks are you/baby's size?
11 weeks today and size of a lime! Finally feeling substantial!

How do you feel?
I've been very up and down all week. Some days were almost entirely symptom free and others about killed me. My sleep schedule probably had a decent amount to do with it though as I got called into work overnight one night and had to go to work the next day on ~2 hrs of sleep. I felt like a grumpy monster who also just wanted to throw up all day.

Any appts this week?
Nope. Had my first at 9 weeks and won't have another until week 13.

Rants/raves/questions?
Raves: got a few staple maternity items today (all either super on sale or at a great thrift store I found)! Also, got handed a big pile of summer maternity dresses from my sister from her first pregnancy. She is pregnant again but due in March, so she won't be needing her summer clothes as much. 

GTKY: What's your favorite part about being pregnant so far?  What's your least favorite part?
Favorite: Probably the response from family and friends. It's really great to feel like you have people cheering you on in life! We publically announced today (a little earlier than I may have wanted, but FX that we keep smooth sailing through first trimester) and got an even bigger positive response than I ever could have imagined. Feeling the love today! 

Least favorite: The secret keeping. I felt like it was eating me alive a little bit, especially with my coworkers when I was so grumpy and sick. Not that I expect any special treatment now that they know, but at least they might understand a bit more. I also felt like I couldn't really hang out with my friends without lying about what was going on recently, so its just nice for things to be in the open now!

How many weeks are you/baby's size?
12 weeks - I don’t remember baby. Maybe 2”?

How do you feel?
Still tired. 

Any appts this week?
Had my DNA draw last Friday. So. Waiting for that call. Don’t go again until Feb 2.

Rants/raves/questions?
Ready for some 2nd trimester energy. 
And this is my 4th but first with a ton of gas. lol. Hopefully it chills eventually. Haha. 

GTKY: What's your favorite part about being pregnant so far?  What's your least favorite part?
Just being pregnant is amazing. I didn’t think I’d have anymore.
I’m not a cute pregnant person. I get pregnant in my butt. Haha. I swear. And I always put on way too much weight. I’m generally miserable the whole time. But I love the outcome. And about a year later I’m back to normal. So it doesn’t last forever.
