10 weeks today! Baby is as big as a strawberry according to this app.

I don’t get in for my first ob appointment until next Wednesday! The office is majorly booked.

Symptoms are relentless nausea which fuels intense hunger which causes stomach issues. The vicious cycle that plagues my days. So over it! Also I’m feeling a bit depressed this go around, this is my 3rd baby and my other two are only 3 and 2 so very demanding of my attention. I just can’t help but think about how much MORE stress another child will be. And it depresses me because motherhood has really forced me to put myself on the back burner and focus only on others and I’m just afraid I might never recover from all this madness of raising little kids! Ahhhhh-emotions

Keeps cutting off the rest of my comment! Anyway with $500 I’d pamper myself: massage, nails, hair, a nice lunch and a new outfit!

12 weeks! Plum! I celebrated with a bagel sandwich this morning and it was amazing. 

Appointments this week?  

Nope - nothing until my 16 weeks appointment later in May

Symptoms?  

I am cautiously starting to feel better. Still eating all the time and dealing with some wicked headaches this week, but the nausea has let up. 

Rant/Rave/Questions? 

Just anxiously awaiting this magical second trimester energy I hear so much about!

Oh all of the things for myself! New purse, shoes, get my nails done, massage, etc. no shame.

How far along are you? How big is baby?  9 weeks, babies are the size of cherries

Appointments this week?  I had my first appointment yesterday and found out we're having TWINS! Such a surprise. They don't run in our families or anything. Everything looks good. Got to see the little heartbeats. Babies are measuring on track with my 11/28 due date, but my delivery is already scheduled for 11/14ish, if not sooner. 

Symptoms?  Still tired. I'm on prescription prenatals now, and they make me feel awful. 

Rant/Rave/Questions?  I love my OB's nurse. I got to know her really well last pregnancy because I had to get weekly injections. Just one of those people that it feels good to be around, you know?

GTKY You are give $500 to spend, not save. What do you buy?  I have my eye on a new JuJuBe diaper bag and wallet. I apparently need a mega stroller as well. And a second infant carrier. But I also want a new patio set. Dilemma!

I bought the SneakPeek blood test to find out the sex. It was delivered today & I already have it out in the mail to go back to them! Hopefully by the weekend I'll have the results!

12 Weeks, a plum 

Appointments this week?  

No- I went in last week. 

Symptoms?  

I was having longer stretches of feeling better last week but the nausea has come back the last few days. I’m exhausted. My kids have so much energy and all I want to do is sleep. 

Rant/Rave/Questions? 

I have definitely popped and I love it. Grow baby grow!

Those are definitely all valid feelings. Multiple littles are exhausting and it seems like it will always be this chaotic.

Yay! Twins! Congrats @KellyT22

@soontobehosford I think what you are feeling is really common. Especially with three that young and close together. It will be stressful, but as you know, the tough times will pass quickly
@KellyT22 Wow what a shock! Congratulations! Don't know if you wanted four kids, but it will never be a dull moment!
@vicioustrollop What is the accuracy of those home tests?

How far along are you? How big is baby?   13/Lemon/Clownfish

Appointments this week?  No, I went last week so nothing until mid May! It's so tough at this point of pregnancy to go that long without an appointment because I can't feel baby move yet.

Symptoms?  sneezing, exhausted, moody, acne, my gigantic knockers are still pretty sore

Rant/Rave/Questions? DD is super clingy lately, but over all she has been in a pretty happy mood so you win some you lose some. Wondering if I'll feel baby kick sooner in second pregnancy, as lots of people claim. Last time was 17-18w.

GTKY You are give $500 to spend, not save. What do you buy? Probably put it toward a trip, ideally just adults (sorry DD), like a weekend at the beach or the mountains

@KellyT22 I totally feel you on having nice nurses-it changes the whole feel of ob appointments. I have a midwife who I feel like I legit love lol ❤️

Congrats on the twins!! How exciting!!

@booksandcoffee My kids have so much energy too and I’m soooooooo tired too! 

vicioustrollop

@lifesabeach85 99% and if it's wrong at birth you can get your money back

KellyT22

@lifesabeach85 I was open to 4 kids. Now my husband is convinced we'll have 5. I think we need to get through this pregnancy first!
