How many weeks and how big is baby? 12 weeks, feels like a huge milestone! Baby is the size of a Roborovski hamster. So random.
Current symptoms? None, really! Boobs are still a little sore, but not much.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm finally starting to let myself put some emotional stock into this pregnancy. My tone has shifted from IF to WHEN and it feels great. (TW) I know you're never truly safe from loss, but at some point, you just have to let go and enjoy the ride.
GTKY: What is your favorite part of your body and why? I love a lot of things about my body, but my favorite would have to be my hair. (Does that count? I hope so!) It's a beautiful shade of red and it's soft and shiny. I hated it when I was younger- I just wanted to have brown hair like all my friends- but I wouldn't trade it for the world now!
How many weeks and how big is baby? Th size of a clownfish, or a peach Current symptoms? Ze boobs keep growing!! And I feel chubby.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Just happy to be almost out of first tri. I'm calling 3w3d which will be saturday.
GTKY: What is your favorite part of your body and why? My blue eyes. They are large and in charge and people have told me on multiple occasions how they look like bug eyes but I don't care because I like them
How many weeks and how big is baby? 14 weeks today, and the size of a Lemon.
Current symptoms? Round Ligament pain, insane thirst, dizziness, nausea has gone WAY down though! Hooray!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I dislike this awkward "is she pregnant or just getting fat?" part of pregnancy haha I have a UTI and diarrhea from my antibiotics, so potty time is wicked miserable right now. And, I have a large subchorionic hemorrhage. Don't have much info about it, but hoping it resolves on its own soon. Any input on that is beyond welcome, I would love to hear from anyone who had one and how it turned out!
GTKY: What is your favorite part of your body and why? Can I say my metabolism? If not, probably my stomach. I thank my lucky stars often that *so far* after my previous pregnancies, my tummy bounced back and I had visible abs again before LO hit 6mos. Hoping for such fortune this time too.
How many weeks and how big is baby? 14 weeks, lemon
Current symptoms? sore boobs, hungry & thirsty all the time, leg cramps, tired
Rants/Raves/Questions?@AllyTheKid - I agree, I just feel fat!! Can't wait until I have a legit bump that I can show off! Another rant is that I have to wait 6 more weeks until my first ultrasound. I seriously can't wait that long - it's killing me!!!
GTKY: What is your favorite part of your body and why? Man, this is a hard one! I have a pretty negative self-image so every body part I think of, I'm like, "No, that's not it because I don't like ______ about it." How bad is that??! I'll go with eyebrows - oddly enough, I've received compliments on them!
How many weeks and how big is baby? 11 weeks- the world's smallest lime. I feel so far behind everyone else (even though I'm not)
Current symptoms? tiredness, sore boobs, but the queasiness has let up a bit which is nice!
Rants/Raves/Questions? We're telling my inlaws next week and having our NT scan a few days after. Haven't seen the bebe since my 7 wk appt so I have this fear that something is going to happen between telling them and my appt, even though I know I'm stressing over nothing
GTKY: What is your favorite part of your body and why? do eyebrows count? I've recently discovered threading over the past yr and a half and my eyebrows have never gotten more compliments!
@lilbabybrown I massacred my eyebrows from years of over-plucking (bc middle school me thought that was the right thing to do) so growing them in was hard time-wise. But they reshaped them and made them even and looking full so I just fill in a the little sparse areas with a brow pencil. I have sensitive skin and waxing always made me red for hours after so I tried threading. Find a reputable place who can help you with your initial shaping and you'll never look back!
@lilbabybrown & @szwill86 : I'm jealous of your good eyebrows! Mine are a good shape, but they're strawberry blond so I have to draw them on when I wear makeup. It sucks!
I am glad my eyebrows are transparent because they look like caterpillars right now anyway. I have no choice but to draw them on if there is to be any hope of showing facial expressions. I look like a pale, emotionless alien.
How many weeks and how big is baby? 11 weeks... must be a key lime, or a brussel sprout, which I like because ive been nick naming the baby Sprout. So I'm back here with you @szwill86
Current symptoms? I have to pee a lot
Rants/Raves/Questions? Our 12ish week appointment is this thursday, I really want another ultrasound. Then I'm having anueploidy screening done next week, kinda nervous about that, I was surprised to find out amniocentesis wasn't more routine.
GTKY: What is your favorite part of your body and why? My naturally curly hair, except right now it won't release this blue hair dye in the tips.
im still nauseous and vomitting a lot. Every week I hope this is the last week but it seems like it's not improving. Also, the blump bloat is here for the first time!
Rant- I still feel weird telling people. I know it's around the time where it's "acceptable" to make it public, but I still feel like it's not real or something. Probably still just the IF mindset.
Fav body - I have a tattoo I absolutely love that takes up most of the side of my right thigh, so now I like my legs
How many weeks and how big is baby? 13 weeks, the size of a peach
Current symptoms? Headaches, andsick all the time!!!! And lets not talk about all this annoying mucus... Gag City!!! yuck
Rants/Raves/Questions? Anyone know what the best maternity bras are?
GTKY: What is your favorite part of your body and why? I would have to say the two Dimples on my lower back! Been loving them since I was a teenager!
My first pregnancy, I just ended up wearing sports bras - they were the most comfortable to me as my boobs got bigger. I'll probably do the same this go around!
@zuzu87 I just got a few Bali bras and OMG they are so comfy. Soft, stretchy material, close to a sports bra but with better support and NO UNDER WIRE. JCPenny always has good sales on them. They run xs-xxl.
Married 11-11-11 TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year. BFP 02-15-16 with our first IT'S A BOY!!!

Update: Came back from an appointment and heard baby's HR! It was in the 150s and baby was moving all over the place. Very grateful.
