What I like most about being pregnant: Almost everything, but feeling movement is my favorite.
What I hate about being pregnant: Frequent potty trips especially in the middle of the night.
GTKY: Favorite Snow Day Activity (since a lot of us are snowed in today!) I love taking our electric vehicle (aka a glorified golf cart that DH put big tires on) out with DH and driving around.
Weight gain? 11 pounds (according to my marketing director, there has been "significant growth" in my midsection in the last week. He doesn't know how close he came to dying.)
Symptoms? Insomnia and constipation, but it's like a walk in the park compared to first tri, so I'll take it!
What I like most about being pregnant: Feeling LO move. I just wish dance party time wasn't 3am.
What I hate about being pregnant: Feeling totally and completely unprepared.
GTKY: Favorite Snow Day Activity: NCIS marathons; there's always one on somewhere!
How far along? 23 weeks! Size of a pomegranate/mango/grapefruit
Weight gain? 13 pounds
Symptoms? Pregnancy wise? Not much. An ache or pain here and there, but I'm feeling good.
What I like most about being pregnant: Feeling LO have dance parties in my belly. I really thought it would freak me out, but it's really, really awesome.
What I hate about being pregnant: All of the men in my life (with the exception of very few whose wives have had babies within the last 5 years) thinking it's okay to call me big, huge, and fat. All of them are going to get a big, huge, fat, fuck you here shortly. Oh, and the fact that there's not a heck of alot I can take for sickness. If I could just kick this crap I have now, I'd be golden.
GTKY: Favorite Snow Day Activity (since a lot of us are snowed in today!) Not snowed in here... FIL brought me to work (my car is in the shop, so someone would have to bring me anyway, he just happens to have the 4wd truck) BUT my favorite activity to do on a snow day is scrapbooking. I love having an entire day to just sit on my butt and make awesomeness happen.

GTKY: Favorite Snow Day Activity (since a lot of us are snowed in today!) We aren't snowed in but we got a couple inches the night before last. When I was a kid we always ventured out to the mall on snow days. There was never a crowd so we ate lunch in the food court and shopped around. Now I don't get snow days. I'm a nurse. If it's going to be snowmaggedon we are expected to find a reliable way there or spend the night before at the hospital.

GTKY: Favorite Snow Day Activity (since a lot of us are snowed in today!) As a kid it was sledding, but there are no hills where we live now!! Honestly, it's a huge hassle getting dressed to go outside, and then we have to come in pretty quick because of how cold it is anyway. I'm ok to stay in and cuddle.
