12 weeks

Tired, sometimes nauseous
3. Any appointments this week?

4. Rants/raves/questions?
I told my son about the baby this past week. Surprisingly he was very excited about it. Wanted to know what it was going to be, when is it going to be here etc.
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be?
Try to relax a bit more. I started out my medical career at 18 and working full time.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
10 weeks; Lego Man!
2. How are you feeling?
So stinking tired. Like can’t keep my eyes open! Occasional car sickness, but that’s getting better
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope
not until the 11th!
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Has anyone else not yet heard the heartbeat?? My doctor tried with the Doppler at my appointment last week and couldn’t pick it up. I still don’t have confirmation that I’m actually pregnant. Although I definitely FEEL pregnant.
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be?
Be happy with the person you are! I was dead set on making other people happy. I wish I would have just been ok being me!
2. How are you feeling? Ok. If I have to wake up early (aka when MH isn't home) I still get sick when I wake up. Otherwise I'm getting random bursts of energy which are nice
3. Any appointments this week? I have my NT scan on Monday!
4. Rants/raves/questions? Just really over the exhaustion. Cannot wait for it to be gone.
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be? Do not waste your time on that boy. He's not worthy of your attention (this would really be for 19yr old me but whatever)
My doctor couldn’t hear it at 12w2d, and offered me an ultrasound since I hadn’t had a dating ultrasound at my first appointment.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 12 weeks, size of a plum!
2. How are you feeling? Much better than previous weeks in terms of nausea!
3. Any appointments this week? Nope
4. Rants/raves/questions? I’m with @hellopartyof5 - I can’t wait for the exhaustion to let up
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be? You don’t have to date anyone that asks. It’s ok to politely decline if you’re uninterested. It doesn’t make you a bitch and you don’t have to feel bad.
Me: 33 DH: 31
Location: Castle Rock, CO
DD: 10.13.18
baby #2 due: 7.14.20
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
10 weeks! Quarter of the way there!
2. How are you feeling?
Better! Had one day earlier this week of some pretty bad nausea. But I felt well enough to be able to go on a 4 mile hike this morning, so that's a win!
3. Any appointments this week?
Not until the 16th.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Nothing really. I just hate being in this in-between time of not showing yet and not having any energy. Pretty sure my husband forgets I'm pregnant until I'm actually showing and acts confused when I'm exhausted.
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be?
Think again about your college major. Graphic design sounds fun in theory, but your going to hate it. Listen to your 3D design professor and go talk to the interior design department. He was right all along.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 11 weeks for the time being - lime. (I’m expecting them to bump me back a week at my next apt from my u/S results.
2. How are you feeling? Super nauseous this week - it picked up way worse this week and first time actually getting sick. Still tired and sore boobs as well.
3. Any appointments this week? Nope - next apt is next week
4. Rants/raves/questions? Told most of the family this weekend and will tell the last set on Monday at easter dinner - so much easier to have it out in the open, especially since I am super obviously pregnant now but thankfully most people are too polite to ask. Pulled out my belly pics from my second and I’m about the size now I was at 21 weeks with #2!
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be? Ditch the loser you are dating and don’t be afraid of being single. Also agree with @mama2bofthree you are not fat right now - you’ll wish you were only as ‘Fat’ as you are now one day!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 10w - cardinal tetra fish
2. How are you feeling? Ok. I'm figuring out how to get around the nausea, so thats nice. And I'm finally sleeping better.
3. Any appointments this week? Nope
4. Rants/raves/questions? Not currently. Though like @elothair I'm about as big now as I was 18-20w with my first. I didn't get very big though, and didn't pop until like 8m. So I feel like I'm obvious but I likely just look like I gained 10 lbs and need to get on top of it.
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be? Plans are great, but it's ok to deviate when its a better idea. And all this will absolutely be worth it - you're doing great!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
11 weeks - size of a lime
2. How are you feeling?
So tired all the time. I still get crap sleep from cosleeping, I will be working on getting her to her own bed soon.
3. Any appointments this week?
Nothing until next week
4. Rants/raves/questions?
The nausea seems to be starting to subside (hopefully). I found if I eat little bits all day then it usually keeps it at bay.
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be?
I would tell myself to not go to school for anything in the arts, don’t take out all those student loans, and learn how to manage/invest my money then.
1. How many weeks are you?
What size is baby? 10 weeks, size of a strawberry
2. How are you feeling?
Pretty good, still tired and nauseous when I don’t eat enough carbs
3. Any appointments this week?
Doing all my blood work tomorrow!
4. Rants/raves/questions?
How is it that my hips and back are already sore?! I’m not even showing yet.
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be?
Don’t get caught up on regrets.
How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 11 weeks! A lime!
2. How are you feeling? Exhausted still. SO. TIRED. All the time. This week has been rough in the evenings. Hubby has had to pick up a lot of the slack since I've been feeling like crap in the evenings.
3. Any appointments this week? YES! Tomorrow- I'm so excited!
4. Rants/raves/questions? my father-in-law drives me insane. INSANE. he's always right about everything- even stuff he doesnt know about. This weekend he wanted to get a family picture of all the grandkids in the family and wanted to take it at the top of stairs leading up to his family church. So my MIL was holding on to my DD because umm shes 16mo old and will try to go down the stairs. He yelled at her to get out of the picture. Hubby had to finally yell back at him that our DD cant stand at the top of stairs by herself- she'll likely try to walk down them and trip. Idiot. Sorry. LOL. There's a lot there and this was just a small example, after he had already annoyed the crap out of me that day. rant over. lol
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be? You're not fat and dont change majors.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 13 weeks, lemon!
2. How are you feeling? Getting my appetite back and stopped puking every day! I've been told it can return, so trying to enjoy every nauseous free moment.
3. Any appointments this week? Nope, we actually just had our 12 wk appt. last week and baby is going strong! We'll head back on the 24th of this month.
4. Rants/raves/questions? Totally did not buy into the pregnancy pillow, but...mine is a miracle worker. Sleeping is getting a little easier, but it's still rough in the mornings with sore boobs (I already have pretty big girls).
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be? Stay true to yourself, girl.
