GTKY: Where were you born and how have you come to live where you are currently?
I was born in Anaheim, CA. My dad got a new job at DuPont in northern Delaware when I was 6, almost 7. So we made the move across country 2 days before I had to start 1st grade. Been here ever since.

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? A cute little peach

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? We finally had our first appointment last Friday and got to hear the heartbeat!! The doctor encouraged us to make a recording of it on our phone so it brings a smile to my face every time I listen to it. In other news, I feel like I'm bursting out of my pants today!

Questions?

GTKY: Where were you born and how have you come to live where you are currently? I was born in PA and am still here, about 30 minutes from my hometown. I lived a few other places first and as much as I'd love to still be in Florida (I'm a southern girl at heart and also freeze in anything below 70 degrees), I'm thankful to be settled down close to family to raise our own family.

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? my husband is being a pain. Where is the extra grace and love from our men when we need it? They just don't understand!

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Plum

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? My boobs are sore now and then (usually wake up with them sore in the middle of the night). I'm, unfortunately, still having really bad nausea episodes. They only happen around the time I leave work at night (midnightish) and it lasts until I go to bed. Eating dinner eases it temporarily and then it comes back with a vengeance at bedtime. I've managed not to vomit lately. But now the dizziness has started getting worse and so have the headaches, which I've been relatively free from since the beginning.

Questions? Nope.

GTKY: Where were you born and how have you come to live where you are currently? I was born in the Atlanta area of Georgia and lived there until college. I then moved down to South Georgia for college and then ended up staying in that region when I got a job right after graduating. I live in a beautiful city but it's high in crime. So I'm trying to move back to the Atlanta area where we'll be closer to family for the baby.

GTKY: Where were you born and how have you come to live where you are currently? Born in Texas and moved all over growing up, Texas was always home and after high school I moved right back. Been here since.

BlessUrHeart29 · February 2016

Hi! I haven't done one of these yet, but my weeks roll over on Mondays so I thought I'd jump in here.

I was 11 weeks yesterday, which makes baby the size of a lime.

Symptoms: At this point, mainly exhaustion. I'll sometimes get a burst of energy throughout the day but by the early evening, I'm done!

I was born in the Finger Lakes region of NY, and all my family is still there. I moved to TN right after college with my husband, who had found a job down here. It was a very random and unexpected development, and we never anticipated living down here for as long as we have, haha!

Minnesota and I'm still here!

megframe16 · February 2016

11 weeks!

i have two little limes in my belly!

exhaustion! I'm usually in bed by 8 and sleeping by 9! - we are keeping the twins a secret!! So I have to watch my tongue when I'm talking about the pregnancy and be careful not to say the plural of anything!

anyones feel like their uterus is just huge? The top of my stomach gets really hard and I know it's obviously not that high yet.. What gives?!

minnesota born and raised!

Happy new week!!!

crob5685 · February 2016

@megframe16 how long do you intend to keep the twins part w secret? That would be so hard!

jamiesc58 · February 2016

@megframe16 are you keeping the twins a secret the entire time? I just saw an episode on Birth Day (or something similar) where a couple did that and it was so cool to see everyone's reactions when they walked into the hospital room!

smilormarie · February 2016

If this pregnancy had stayed twins I was hoping to surprise the grandmothers by having them both come to the 20 week ultrasound to determine gender (even though we were getting the blood test anyway). I had imagined that the ultrasound tech would start talking about baby A and Baby B and have them start stammering and asking questions. :-) Maybe that would work for you!!

jskarr7 · February 2016

How many weeks today? this past Monday was 13 weeks

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Peach

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I have to drive an hour to/from work and I want to be pants-less!!!

Questions? Did your belly just appear overnight? It seemed like when we told people (12 weeks) it just appeared the next day! Crazy!

GTKY: Where were you born and how have you come to live where you are currently?
Alabama born and raised

MamaKSquared · February 2016

jacmkelley - no flutters yet at 13 weeks (this is baby 1), but I'm SO ready for them!

@megframe16 - That is awesome! Before we heard just 1 heartbeat, I told DH if we happened to be pregnant with twins, that I would LOVE to keep it a secret until the babies were born! Good luck not slipping!

Bubblegum5586 · February 2016

@megframe16 my best friend is 24 weeks pregnant with twins and she looks 9 months pregnant easily. She is petite and fit but there's still 2 babies growing in there, no way she could hide that.

megframe16 · February 2016

Well we told immediate family about the twins! Basically because I had to tell someone! A very few select friends know as well (mainly because they'd kill me if I kept it from them!) but other friends, co-workers, social media will only know at 20 weeks that we are expecting! I will try to keep details down to a minimum! I do worry about getting super big and oh know there's a few jerks who will say "how many are actually in there?!" Which I'm not sure how I will react to. But hopefully most people will just comment how huge I am behind my back

so hopefully we can zip our lips the entire time then once they are born introduce them both!! I'm totally open to ideas too if anyone has ever imagined how they would do it! This will be our last pregnancy so I just want to make it fun and really enjoy every step!
