1.How far along are you?How big is baby? 14 weeks 1 day; size of a peach

2. Any upcoming appointments this week? None this week

3. Any new symptoms? I've been majorly bitchy and mean since going off my meds, however I've noticed it's getting worse the farther along I get...uh oh...I'm not a nice person to my family and it makes me REALLY sad because this is not the normal. 

4. Rants/ Raves/ Questions? Finally starting to be able to eat food other than brc burritos and saltines. Had hot cheetos yesterday and I literally savored the bag because I was sooooo happy!

5. GTKY: Would you consider yourself a social butterfly, wallflower, in-betweener? I'm totally an in-betweener. I prefer to be a wall flower where no one notices me yet I can watch everything and everyone. However, having such a big family, I've learned to be a social butterfly when needed.

Wallflower. I do open up a lot around my friends, but since having my first kid my social circle has disappeared (older mom with no mom friends.... what's up)

1.How far along are you?How big is baby?  13w3d, peach

2. Any upcoming appointments this week?  Nope!  Nothing until 2/6.

3. Any new symptoms?  Headaches.  I think my nausea is getting better and I'm still tired but it seems a little better.  But these annoying headaches suck.

4. Rants/ Raves/ Questions?  We had out reveal over the weekend and it was so fun!  Can't wait to buy all the girly things!

5. GTKY: Would you consider yourself a social butterfly, wallflower, in-betweener?  Somewhere between wallflower and in-betweener lol.  Depends on the situation I guess.

1. How far along: 15+1 today, size of an eggo waffle

2. Upcoming appointments: I’ll have a f/u with my family doc whenever I get my ass to the lab and get my bloodwork done. First OB appointment won’t be until 22ish weeks

3. New symptoms: I can’t eat more than snack sized portions for the most part, it’s so annoying!

4. R/R/Q: nothing really. Told my boss I’m expecting in July, which brings the unit tally up to 6 pregnant nurses! She was cool about it, even though it’s bad timing since the hospital goes live with a new charting system in June so it’ll be mass chaos. And July 1st is changeover day for docs so it’s already usually a chaotic disaster. 

5. GTKY: walllflower through and through!

1.How far along are you?How big is baby?
15+2, navel orange 

2. Any upcoming appointments this week?
In 1.5 hrs! 

3. Any new symptoms?
Not really 

4. Rants/ Raves/ Questions?
can’t stop eating!! I’ll ask my question here again, anyone not having a baby shower? My family and friends are back in Cali. But i want to celebrate it because i couldn’t with DS due to complications. Any good ideas? I’m not in it for the gifts. 

5. GTKY: Would you consider yourself a social butterfly, wallflower, in-betweener?
wallflower most of the time. I’m an introvert. But once you get to know me I’m an in-betweener. I’m more of a listener than talker.

@Sarafuss Sorry if you have mentioned it before and I miss it, but what did you do for your reveal? I'm glad you enjoyed it!

1.How far along are you?How big is baby? 15+1 Baby is the size of a navel orange.

 2. Any upcoming appointments this week? Nope, nothing until February.

 3. Any new symptoms? Nope, the clothes are just continuing to get tighter.

 4. Rants/ Raves/ Questions? We finally went public about things this weekend so it is a relief to not feel like I have this huge secret anymore. We didn't originally plan on it, but we ended up paying something on Facebook talking about IF and what it too for is to get here. I was so surprised by the number of people who reached out after to talk about their own situation, and I actually had a few people thank me for being so honest about our experience. It was a wonderful feeling.

 5. GTKY: Would you consider yourself a social butterfly, wallflower, in-betweener? I guess I would be an in-betweener, but leaving a little bit more towards the wallflower end.

@wildtot I am having a baby shower. DH's sister was planning it the night we told the family. As a FTM, I'm looking forward to the presents (hopefully diapers and wipes galore, please!), however, I'm not really up for the attention. 
Would your family come out to you or would you be able to come to CA for one? Depending on that, maybe have a small one.

@zombiehoohaa my family is not financially well so can’t ask them to come up before and after baby with a few months in between. We were originally planning on going in March/April for my 30 yr and DS 2 yr but DH needs to save his PTO. We talked about delayed the trip in order to do a longer Cali trip during the holidays. No one is planning to be here for DS bday either. So idk most likely no shower and I’ll keep local gatherings to be birthday related.

@Pinky917 I don’t know if I mentioned it or not!  My dad hosted a family party over the weekend so we just did a reveal there.  We had 8 black balloons filled with pink confetti and DH and I, along with my dad and other family members, popped the balloons at the same time.  It was really fun!  And I like that the party wasn’t all about the reveal (I hate being the center of attention) and we just got to hang out with family.

@wildtot no shower here either.  We have plenty of stuff from DS since he’s only 17 months and I have a good amount of girl
clothes from DD.  We will buy any additional stuff we want/need.  I’m sure our parents will get us a gift since they always do but that’s about it.

Totally late this week

1.How far along are you?How big is baby?  13w 4d

2. Any upcoming appointments this week? Just left my appointment this morning. Everything is looking good!

3. Any new symptoms? Nothing new except for this bump popping out right now. Ugh! The doctor confirmed that my uterus still hasn’t quite come out of the pubic bone. He said it was just the uterus pushing my intestines and everything up so it’s popping my belly out. 

4. Rants/ Raves/ Questions? Despite my now obvious bulge in my belly can’t get anyone to stand up for me on the bus or subway. This is pretty consistent with everything I’ve witnessed before. It’s only the little old ladies who offer the pregnant girls the seats and the young strong men just bury their noses in the phone or pretend to nap. Rude. 

5. GTKY: Would you consider yourself a social butterfly, wallflower, in-betweener? Probably somewhere in-between. It 100% depends on my mood.

@nimmle ugh people can be so inconsiderate on public transportation. I invented hear a lady yelling at another to move over but she clearly couldn’t because she was 6 months pregnant.
