What's new with baby?: size of a lemon or fist and growing some hair to stay toasty warm
What's something new you are doing for baby?: Still nothing ... probably should start planning the nursery and researching all the stuff we need. Right now just focusing on eating well and getting back into an exercise routine.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves: noticing more and more cramping/pulling pains so really trying to increase my water intake. I wake up around 3 or 4am to pee every night and then cannot fall back asleep - ugh! At least I'm down to peeing only once a night though. I was in a state of panic at first but read that the constant need to pee should start to slow down until 3rd tri.
Questions?: Can I still sleep on my back? Isn't it ok until like 20 weeks or something?
GTKY: What is your favorite animal, or what animal best represents you, and why? Hands down, dogs. Or better yet, puppies!!!! Love, love, love them.

20ish weeks. But your body just knows when it's time. You will be so uncomfortable on your back - lots of pain and/or numbness. Your body will make itself move or will wake you up if you go on your back in your sleep. Don't worry too much.

What's something new you are doing for baby?: I told my whole office today in a staff meeting, no going back now.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves: I threw up 3 times yesterday, pretty sure my body rejected dairy like it was nobody's business. I don't fee like I'll ever by "ready" to tell people about this pregnancy, like I have to force my hand with everything.
Questions?: None

What's new with baby?:Timtam is growing! Almost 5 inches this week! I also think I'm beginning to feel him/her... What's something new you are doing for baby?:Planning a trip home to visit family. Leave from work, COME THROUGH!! If it doesn't, my husband and I have been throwing around the idea of me just quitting early. I really want to go home to see my family while I'm pregnant. I'll only ever be pregnant for the first time ONCE in my lifetime, and I'm planning to quit my job anyway in February at the latest. I guess we'll see where we stand when the time gets nearer. Symptoms/Rants/Raves:Things feel about the same. The exhaustion is pretty much gone and the headaches aren't too bad usually. My boobs still hurt horribly if they're not treated carefully, but that's just my life now. I am, however, REALLY starting to hate wearing pants. I have a bella band and I'm still getting squished by them. I've already switched to wearing dresses pretty much full time when I'm not at work; I might have to wear them there,too. I feel so big and I've got a long way to go still.
GTKY: What is your favorite animal, or what animal best represents you, and why? I love cephalopods--octopuses, squids, cuttlefish, etc. I think their utter brilliance is amazing, and a lot of them can change color or shoot ink, all kinds of cool stuff. I got to hold an octopus once in my life and it was just utterly amazing. One of my favorite memories. It changed colors as a scare tactic and I've never seen something that was so vibrant--almost glowing neon. Just the coolest.
What's new with baby?: we are rocking and rolling in there!
What's something new you are doing for baby?: Prepping for our third girl! We found out last Monday!
Symptoms/Rants/Raves: nothing new to speak of
Questions?: Why is there currently more Christmas decor out than Halloween?
GTKY: What is your favorite animal, or what animal best represents you, and why? Tough call. I love my doxie. We are getting him ready for the Oktoberfest Weenie Dog races but I'm also partial to my sorority mascot the turtle. I've collected them since I was a little girl and at my peak I had 9 pet turtles.
What's new with baby?: growing hair and eyelashes! Size of an avocado.
What's something new you are doing for baby?: Slowly getting the baby's room cleaned out to make space for stuff. Other than that, not much.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves: Exhausted, especially toward the end of my work day. I mostly fight the urge to sit in the middle of the floor at work. Still the occasional headaches, but getting better.
Questions?: What are you guys taking to help sleep? I'm sleeping horribly.
GTKY: What is your favorite animal? I love dolphins, because they're so freakin smart.
Looked up the Tasmanian Tiger! Wow, what an impressive animal. And so sad I almost cried realizing that once they are gone, they look so unreal it is hard to imagine they ever existed. Thanks for sharing.
What's new with baby?: Baby is the size of an onion and almost half a pound! I think I'm starting to feel slight movement here and there.
What's something new you are doing for baby?: Nothing at all. Just keep exercising and eating well (or as well as I can get away with).
Symptoms/Rants/Raves: My MIL is constantly saying...I think I can start to see a bump, when there's literally nothing there. For some reason it drives me insane. Other than that, nausea is pretty much gone. I want all the food. Sweets are not as horrible anymore, though I still try to stay away.
Questions?: None

I don't think I can pick one favorite. I love lions, dolphins, horses, wolves, and dogs the most I think. But I have always loved animals. How can you not love animals? I truly don't get it.
