  • How many weeks today? 12

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Roborovski Hamster (or plum)

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I have started wearing maternity clothes. I was trying to hold off as long as I could but I can't anymore. They are SO much more comfortable!!!

    Questions?

    GTKY: What are you most looking forward to when summer gets here? I cannot wait to wear sun dresses! Also, we have a cottage that we use a lot in the summer and that is a lot of fun!!! Then at towards the end of the summer we get to meet the new baby!

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

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I had a slightly high BP reading (they took it several times) at my appointment last week and have to go back tomorrow to do it again. My BP is always a bit higher at the doctors office but it has never been that high so I'm definitely nervous. 

    Questions?

    GTKY: What are you most looking forward to when summer gets here? Despite the very stylish selection of maternity swim suits (bleh), I am looking forward to the pool! 
  • How many weeks today? 15

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? an apple, yellow canary or a naval orange

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Feel pretty good except sciatica in my left hip. Went to my first prenatal yoga class on Monday which was nice!

    Questions? I need to call my doctor's office to see when they schedule the anatomy scan (19 to 21 weeks, I believe).

    GTKY: What are you most looking forward to when summer gets here? Casual attire at work and floating in the pool!

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? a sweet little southern peach!

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Headaches :neutral: 

    Questions? Has anyone looked into swimsuits yet? Also, why are there SO MANY options for infant car seats?... *overwhelmed*

    GTKY: What are you most looking forward to when summer gets here? Floating in the pool and sundresses!

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

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I've had some wicked headaches this week. Hoping it's related to my neck issues and they will go away once I see my chiropractor. :/  On the bright side, I think I am starting to feel some flutters! So excited - that is the best part of pregnancy. 

    Questions?

    GTKY: What are you most looking forward to when summer gets here? Aside from the obvious (baby!), definitely the warm weather. Here in WI, we really live it up in the summer since we only get about 3-4 months of warm weather. Walks outside, playing at the park, going to the beach, etc. There are so many more fun things to do with DS!

  • @WinnieLou82 I believe you are correct. My OB said I can just schedule mine at my next appointment (~17 weeks) for three weeks after that. 

    @Tnallen107 I felt the exact same way about a travel system. I went to BRU and looked at them all, which really helped. I wanted something that was super light since I have back issues and found a great one. 

    How many weeks today? 15 weeks!

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

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? We scored an amazing deal on a crib (almost half off and then I found another promo code for 15% off). My parents were gracious enough to get it for us, but I still love scoring a deal. 

    Questions? What does it actually feel like when the baby moves around at this point? I'm a FTM and sometimes I think I feel it, but then I convince myself it's probably just my stomach. 

    GTKY: What are you most looking forward to when summer gets here? No snow. I cannot wait.
  • @DressageDarling what travel system did you end up getting? I have been looking for something light and simple as well.

  • @Tnallen107 We plan on getting the GB Alara travel system. It was previously on sale, so I am waiting until it goes back on sale to get it. It was around $260 on sale.

    It feels kind of like something is flicking you really lightly from the inside. Almost like a tiny muscle twitch or a goldfish flopping around. And it's much lower than your stomach, which is why a lot of people mistake it for gas. :)

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? a peach! 

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Headaches and sciatic nerve pain on my left side, YAY! Had a US yesterday! Baby looks healthy and measuring a few days ahead, tech said she was 80% sure we are having a girl, I opted to pay for the blood test to confirm early because I just could not wait! Should know for sure next week!

    Questions? 

    GTKY: What are you most looking forward to when summer gets here? the pool and getting to pick out cute maternity dresses!

    @Tnallen107  - Check out the Nuna Pipa it is one of the lightest car seats out there, and had some extra safety features that most car seats do not have. There is a stabilizer base that is attached to the floorboard for extra safety. We went and looked at one last weekend and fell in love! Its probably sure early but I ordered it! only thing is you cannot find it in retail baby stores you have to find a boutique that carries it ($299).

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Georgia peach!

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Woke up this morning with a sore throat and a head ache but the sore throat has me feeling slightly nauseous. I need to check my medication list to see what I can take. 

    Questions?

    GTKY: What are you most looking forward to when summer gets here? I would say vacation but since i got laid off its not in the cards for us. I guess not having to bundle up to go outside. Wearing maternity dresses also.

    How big is baby? 
    Navel Orange 

    Rants/Raves/Symptoms? 
    Im finally getting my old energy back - I also started working a lot less (3:30 am wake up calls when I work ugh) so Im not dying for a nap by 3pm.  I'm catching colds like never before though! I would go years without a cold and I've already had 2 this pregnancy. 

    Questions? How did everyone decide on a stroller?! I live in Downtown LA so I want to be sure it is practical for city living but also grows with me as our family grows.  I'm basically torn on the uppababy vista or something less pricey - does the stroller even matter as much as I think it does? 

    GTKY: It's already hot and sunny here in Southern California (sorry snow birds!) so it's all sundresses for me right now.  I can't wait to spend more time at the beach though.

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? A plum

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Still feeling pukey/exhausted. I am ready for some second tri relief! We got our NIPT test results back this week, though, so that was great - all chromosomes are good and it's a girl.

    Questions?

    GTKY: What are you most looking forward to when summer gets here? The pool, for sure. Our neighborhood pool has a big area just for floaties, I can wait to waddle down there and just float the weekends away.

  • @icyshimmerpowder SAME! My aunt has a saltwater pool and I am hardcore looking forward to that. :sunglasses:

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Navel Orange / Hass Avocado - Avocado seems appropriate since I'm craving one. lol

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I've been having major round ligament pain on both my right and left sides for 2 weeks now. Doing as much resting as I can, but not much I can do for it.

    Questions? 

    GTKY: What are you most looking forward to when summer gets here? I am in no way shape or form looking forward to the miserable Georgia summers. The humidity is so bad that the idea of going outside for even a minute sends shudders down my spine. I'm more of a spring/fall kinda girl. So, I guess baby's arrival is what I'm looking forward to the most. 
  • @BritMC18 fall is my favorite season also! I like the summer if I can be in the water or air condition lol. It is humid where I live also. Right now though, we have gotten about 10 inches of snow since last night and the kids had a snow day today. I still had to come to work.

    Lemon

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Looking forward to my monthly OB appointment on Friday afternoon!

    GTKY: What are you most looking forward to when summer gets here?
    The sun! In the pacific NW it's such a pleasure to see blue sky and the sun (and to enjoy the warmth).

  • 15 weeks! Feels like a milestone! 
    Baby is the size of an orange.
    Symptoms... pregnancy induced vomiting for the first time today. Hopefully it's not a new thing. Got ready for work, started coughing in my truck, and puked everywhere. No warning at all. On the bright side, I think I felt the baby move a couple times this week. Just like the feeling of a foot moving across my belly when I was pregnant before, just much less noticeable and very low.
    This summer I'm really looking forward to hanging out with my kids in our pool, and hopefully getting our camper out a few times while we can. And my birthday! Turning 30 in June :)
  • How many weeks today? 14 weeks!

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Lemon! Or a troll doll (DH likes this comparison.....)

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Why is it only Wednesday?! Feels like the longest week ever right now. On a different note, I REALLY want some kiwi right now.

    Questions? Just finished watching Glee on Netflix. Anyone have suggestions on other good shows to watch? 

    GTKY: What are you most looking forward to when summer gets here? Being able to have cookouts with my friends and their families. That and maxi skirts/dresses. 
  • @alyssajrob22 what types of shows do you like? Funny, crime, drama? I've pretty much (binged) watched every show on Netflix! Lol 

    I thought unbreakable kimmy Schmidt was really cute/funny, broad church was a great crime drama (previously shown on BBC I think), house of cards of you haven't seen that yet is always a good one. :) 
  • @Mrsrundell It depends on my mood! I really like all of those. Tend to rotate through them. Haven't watched house of cards yet, but heard good things about it. Might have to look into it!
  • @Stephanie7693 my birthday is in June also! Only I will be turning 35.
  • @jamiesc58 .. I'm June 30th and my hubby is July 1st. I had planned on a big party this year but that's not happening now lol. Baby shower instead!
    What day is yours?
  • @jamiesc58 & @Stephanie7693  - yay for June Birthdays! Mine's in June also - I'll be 32.
  • @Stephanie7693 my birthday is on June 24th. I was also planning a big party as both my dh and I will be turning 35 this year! (DH's b-day is in April). Guess he can still party lol.
  • @BritMC18 what day is your birthday?
