GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food?
Re: Tuesday Check-In
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Nothing but work related rants today. I'll spare you all the details. Raves: One more day until we head north for Christmas!! I am so excited to see my mom, dad and other family members. This is such a special time of the year for me. Symptoms: Abdominal pressure, RLP, stretching in the uterus region, sore boobs, and back & forth between no appetite and wanting to eat everything in sight.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Watching my belly slowly start to grow.
GTKY: Waffles. I love waffles, eggs and bacon. If I'm feeling real fancy, eggs benedict wins me over. I love breakfast food in general.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I'm still super sick and so glad I got in my doctor today so I can hopefully feel better by Christmas! I'm just so tired and work is super slow today so I want to fall asleep at my desk!!
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Embracing my blump as a bump....
Questions? Has anyone been to Chipotle even though they've had all the issues with food poisoning? I want it so bad
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? Mmm I love eggs and bacon or sausage!!!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: We have our elective ultrasound today to find out the sex before Christmas. Also I got a random $50 bonus yesterday that will pay for today's ultrasound. Yay! I am so excited, I couldn't sleep. It was a very long night of listening to DH snore away. Symptoms? I'm still pretty exhausted, starving constantly, my boobs hurt and I dread sneezing. RLP is a biotch.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? We're putting in an application for an apartment today after my appointment. So that's fun.
Questions? Anyone else doing a gender reveal/announcing your pregnancy on Christmas? We're not doing anything big, just something to tell our parents/siblings what we're having but I can't wait!
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? Mmm. French Toast or a chorizo and egg burrito. Depends on my mood.
13+3....40/3 = 13.3 so does this mean I'm finally in 2nd tri?! lol
Rants/Raves/Symptoms:
We found all the nursery furniture we want yesterday, & the best part is that it was at a store DH works with (he's a sales rep & they're one of his biggest clients), so we'll be getting an amazing deal. I'm excited!
Symptoms wise, RLP & I'm feeling really bloated again this morning. Ick!
What are you doing to get ready for baby?
Since it's such a gross, rainy day here, I'm going to spend most of my afternoon cleaning out our spare rooms. I feel like I should be taking advantage of my 2 weeks off & maybe paint the room we're using for the nursery. It's currently bright bubblegum pink...it was that way when we moved in, I swear!
Questions?
None today.
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food?
I really don't know. I've never been a huge breakfast person. I do love over-easy eggs (& dipping my toast in them), bacon, breakfast sausage, & waffles though.

@mrsb8214 my coworker goes constantly! I'm not a huge Chipotle fan so I'm not missing much by avoiding it, but he goes literally like twice a week.

How far along are you: 13+4
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I've got an achy pelvis as everything continues to stretch and I just want to sleep all day. Trying to figure out if my tiny little firm spot is actually growing or if I'm just imagining it.
What are you doing to get ready for baby?: kind of baby related, I stocked up on food I'll actually eat for when we go to visit family for the holidays. My appetite has been really low recently so having stuff on hand that I know I'll actually eat and not worrying about whether the particular item I want is in stock 5 hours away is nice.
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food?: I used to be a big fan of omlettes or scrambled eggs but my on/off food aversions include eggs which sucks!
@ahernandez16 Yay for finding out the sex! Can't wait to hear what you find out.
@DeePaddy24 All of my apps say that 14 weeks is the start of 2nd tri lol But I get confused by all the weeks sometimes. And that is freaking awesome that you guys are going to get such a great deal on all the baby furniture!!
@Sgoldberg247 I may have to steal your idea and stock up on food to bring with this week. I have been having some major appetitie imbalance - one day I'm starving all day long, the next I'm just not hungry and nothing sounds good.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: No rants today, except that I have to finish wrapping all the presents today since I'll be cooking/cleaning tomorrow in prep for some family coming over for x-mas eve dinner. Rave: Umm....it's basically Thursday for me? No one is in the office so planning to take a long lunch to walk over to Macy's and look at maternity tops (if they have maternity clothes). Symptoms: Tired, hungry all the time especially when I go to bed, RLP, lightning crotch, heartburn off and on.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Enjoying the growing bump and looking for cars
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? That's tough since I love all breakfast foods. If I want something sweet - Belgium waffle, something savory - bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel.

Rants/Raves/Symptoms:
I still be getting headaches. Ugh. I'm starting to see the weight gain which in unnerving for me since I've always been small. Even during the holidays I don't gain this gSt so I've got that irrational fear that it won't stop and I'll gain like 75 lbs. idk I'm crazy. On the up side... Christmas tiiiiiiiiiime is heeeeeere!!!!!
What are you doing to get ready for baby?
Gonna start clearing out the man cave (the nursery) to get ready to replace the floors.

14 weeks today
Rants/Raves/Symptoms:
Rant: My 18 month old slept terrible last night, I'm exhausted.
Rave: I'm off after today until next Tuesday, thank goodness. Tomorrow is our elective u/s, though we won't find out the sex until Christmas, still excited for it!
Symptoms: Bloating, exhausted, get full easily and then starving every two hours...
What are you doing to get ready for baby?
Not much, but once we find out what the sex is, I will probably go shopping crazy, especially if I find some good after Christmas sales!
Questions? Nope.
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? I'm all about bacon right now, as are both my kids. We make it every weekend; however, I don't eat bacon ON anything, only by itself. And I prefer it really crispy, almost burnt. Also, breakfast burritos.

Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I'm off work until Jan 4th! Yay! My biggest symptom is still sore boobs, like making it uncomfortable to sleep sore boobs. This weekend I went to Motherhood Maternity and got some sleep bras and they definitely give just enough support to make me more comfortable.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Starting to research car seats, strollers, etc. and ask friends their preferences so that we can decide what we want.
Questions? None today
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? Breakfast tacos. And now I want one!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I feel great so I can't complain.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? We are registering for daycare tonight and I am starting to freak out. I know I have to go back to work after the baby is born but registering and paying our deposit makes the decision so final!
Questions?
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? Crab cakes eggs benny!

Rants/Raves/Symptoms:
Raves:
Nasal drama has started (dare I say it?) to calm down with this cold, so yay!
Today's my last day of work until after Christmas! Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming...
NT scan yesterday went well, and baby's new u/s shots are up on the fridge. Loved seeing baby move around yesterday, and I love seeing baby's pictures every time I head through the kitchen.
Symptoms: Cold stuff, still got a little MS when my stomach gets empty, and fatigue.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Ramping up for the kitchen reno.
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food?
Eggs benedict all the way.
Also, BACON.
Rants Nausea is back today. Was going to make shortbread today. We will see at this point. Ugh.
Doing to get ready? Nothing
Favourite breakfast? At the moment nothing. Normally turkey bacon and eggs. Pancakes too.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: It does not feel like Christmas here in Alabama and it is not cool.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Finally got furniture together in Nursery
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? I don't like breakfast, but I could eat biscuit & tomatoes all day long!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I caved and ordered a doppler. Used it right when it arrived and found baby's heartbeat within 30 seconds. 156 bpm and so nice to hear since I'm in the middle of a 5 week wait between appointments and can't feel movement.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? We made major progress on getting all the crap out of the nursery this weekend but then it evolved into a house-wide purging exercise. Now the house looks worse than before we started but it definitely feels good to get rid of junk and get organized.
Questions? Nope.
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? I love eggs, breakfast potatoes and toast. Sooooo good.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I'm definitely at the stage where people can't tell if I'm pregnant or fat. I find myself working it into a conversation so I stop feeling like people are wondering.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? My best friend where I live just told me she wants to host a baby shower for me, so thats one less thing I need to think about. Otherwise, the major preparations will start in the new year with me decorating the nursery-to-be.
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? Cheese grits FOR SURE. I live in Colorado and I special order them from Tennessee (where I used to live). Excessive? Definitely not.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Heart burn... EFF YOU heart burn.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Shopping for new maternity pants.
Questions?
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? All of them depending the day. Crepes - sweet with cinnamon and sugar, or savory, with egg, bacon, and cheesy roux. Eggs Benedict. Breakfast Burritos. Biscuits and Gravy. Bagels and Cream Cheese. A Greasy Egg Sandwich. Hashbrowns with lots of Ketchup. Pancakes with breakfast sausage. Mmmmm....

Rants/Raves/Symptoms: rant: still fighting this cold. Went all the way to work just to head home an hour later. Grrr. Rave: now I'm home in bed in my Christmas jammys (dark blue flapjacks with moose all over and 'don't moose with me' on the butt flap.) symptoms: starving and hating all food like a lot of pp. I'll want everything, get it, take a bite and be over it, my body can't decide what it wants! Lol.
Bigger problem: had dizzy spells/ almost passed out in the shower. Seeing the OB today but looks like my bp is low, boo. Where's my second tri Joy already?!
What are you doing to get ready for baby? I bought a handmade teddy bear made from fluffy soft alpaca wool. It's hypoallergenic and it's so fluffy!! I have zero willpower.
Questions? Anyone else feel like they could pass out?
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? I'm not super keen on breakfast most days but at a diner for brunch I'm all about the corned beef hash and the biscuits and sausage gravy. Whoot @hockeyfan42 ! I want some so bad right now! There's a place in Mass near my folks, so good. Sigh.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Ranting is about work.... I'm seriously stuck in a room with the most annoying people/conversations that I could possibly think of. I'm pretty sure I have more interesting conversations with my 2 year old about Blaze and the Monster Machines and Choo- choos... Raves: After today, I have 5 days off and I can't wait!! I don't have any symptoms at this point. I just want veggies and hasbrowns. I can't have enough at this point.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Nothing! Absolutely nothing. I have Christmas presents in my son's "new" room. And there is a big office desk that needs to go before I can paint it. I want to get him in that room asap so come June it will be the norm.
Questions?
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? Hashbrowns... but you must have onions and cheese on top!
Rants: We were going to surprise my in laws on christmas by announcing the new baby. Well last night while I was at work, everyone went to dinner and my MIL pestered my husband about having another until he told her. She said "oh I knew it! I had a feeling you were going to surprise us on Christmas" Then why didn't you shut your mouth and wait until Christmas if you "knew"
Getting ready?: not really doing anything until we find out the sex.
Fave breakfast food: pretty much anything. I could live off of it right now!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: at my docotor appointment the other day a lady came in to talk to us about being part of a breastfeeding stuff that will include only 500 people in our state. I will need to try to breastfeed at least 6 months and they will do a monthly check up to see how much my baby is actually intaking. It doi ds really interesting plus I will get paid for each check up.
What are you doing to get ready for baby?
Nothing at the moment.
Questions?
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? Oh man, I love breakfast foods. I love french toast and bacon. But I will pretty much eat it all.

Rants/raves/symptoms:
Rant: it's raining and people in SoCal don't know how to drive when it rains. And I have to go to work. In a cold ice rink. -_-
Rave: I got new Ugg boots over the weekend!
Symptoms: I'm hungry ALL THE TIME!!! Hasn't been like this since maybe 5 weeks??
What are you doing to prepare:
We are trying to narrow down our list of names, as well as look at nursery ideas. MIL is coming out sometime in late January to help do the nursery (she's in Dallas). I'm also looking for a DiaperDude dad bag for my DH for Christmas, but I hate all the ones I'm seeing in person.
Favorite breakfast food:
All of it. Bacon, waffles, eggs, pancakes, fruit, sausage.... Lol.
@mrsschmity you should take a trip to target for these awesome pjs.... I'm wearing them now
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Feeling much more like myself finally! I've had acid reflux every night, which has been a ton of fun. Also, starting to feel slight shooting pains in my lower abdomen. I suspect it's just gas, but I have an appointment later today and plan to ask my doctor about it.
What are you doing to get ready for the baby? Husband and I are in the process of a cash-out refi so that we can replace our carpets in the bedrooms, update our kitchen, and take care of the termites in the crawl space. So much to do!
Questions? I hate to admit this, but I've never gotten a flu shot in my life. And now I know I should get one, but I've been fighting off a cold for the last month or so and heard that I should wait until I feel good... Any advice on this? I'm embarrassingly super nervous for the shot. Not scared of needles, just whatever is in the actual shot and if I'm going to have a weird reaction that harms baby.
GTKY: I LOVE breakfast foods! Cinnamon rolls, croissants, savory scrambles with goat cheese! Ahh, so hungry!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I'm annoyed that I have to save up as much time of as possible to use for my maternity leave that I can't really take off any time before then. Momma-to-be needs a vacation....
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Binge watching stupid shit on Netflix that I won't have time for once I have a child I need to look after
Questions? Have any of you experienced mom's felt the baby move super early? I know it sounds absurd but I swear I felt something yesterday. It's way too early but it was unlike anything I've ever experienced before and felt JUST like how people describe quickening.... am I crazy?
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? This is a tough one because I LOVE breakfast. But If I had to choose... eggs benedict with a side of breakfast potatoes.
