What's new with baby (size, development)? A lime. How the hell did it get that big so fast??
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby? Eating better and trying to increase my activity level
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Starting to feel more like myself. Still exhausted but the nausea has decreased.
Rave: I have been able to find baby with my Doppler at home and it is the most satisfying sound!
Rant: Just heard from my ob's office that DH's test for being a Tay-Sachs carrier were inconclusive so he has to get more blood drawn and we have to wait another week to find out more information.
Rant: Also, I went to the lab Saturday morning to do my GTT and they didn't have my orders so it was a wasted trip. So I had to reschedule it for Friday. Blarg.
When is your next appointment? the 18th so a week from tomorrow.
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? Brad Renfro (the boy from "The Client")
What's new with baby (size, development)? Size of Navel Orange, or an Eclair per Ovia.
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby? Not much. I went to a town-wide second-hand sale Saturday and was looking for a few big-ticket baby items, but didn't find anything on my list. Got DD a crapton of clothes the next size up though.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: feeing tired, and in a bit of a fog. Got in a fight with DH last night where I likened for first few weeks of pregnancy to various types of hangovers. So while I'm grateful to be out of the "way too much tequila" stage, I'm ready to be done the "few too many glasses of wine" stage any day now.
When is your next appointment? Thursday for my second blood draw for the sequential screen and a check-in with my OB, hopefully will get to hear baby's heartbeat.
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush (stolen from Monday)? JTT! And not long after him was Jared Leto.
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby? this isn't happening quite yet but I plan on telling my boss Monday if my Friday appointments go well
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Nausea is less constant but when it's bad it's still bad
When is your next appointment? Friday
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush (stolen from Monday)? Another vote for JTT!
Apprently the baby doubled in length from last week
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby?
ummmm nothing really, besides watching the Daniel Tiger special about him being a big brother with my son last night and getting some maternity clothes this past weekend
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
My son sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to the baby the other day, it was so sweet!
When is your next appointment?

GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush (stolen from Monday)?
@twandaFTG how old is your son? Mine just turned 2 1/2 and I think he KINDA understands that babies grow in bellies but then the whole DT episode he kept going where's the baby??? Where's the baby? Cause they kept talking about he baby but not showing one cause the mom is still pregnant...so work in progress I guess lol

He is 19th months old. It is still a far off concept! He is going to be super shocked when a baby comes and lives with us!
What's new with baby (size, development)? Baby's proportions are starting to become more normal. Woohoo no more alien looking baby! What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby? Bought the baby some cute University of Chicago garb. H did his undergrad there.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Off of Diclegis and feeling pretty good! I feel like I may even have the energy to get a couple runs in this week.
When is your next appointment? June 3rd
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush (stolen from Monday)? Michael J. Fox.....I was 4 and quite In love. My mother's friend told me he was married and I sobbed in her driveway and refused to come inside. I thought he was going to be my future husband.
Still not doing much baby-related but told a few friends.
Nausea seems to be getting much better over the last week, though now acidic food is giving me heartburn. Starting to be HUNGRY.
I can't remember my next appointment but it's in the next week or two.
I didn't have a celebrity crush for a long while. Johnny Depp is the first one that came to mind, though I loved looking at Leo and the guy from Cruel Intentions.
Week: 13!! This makes me sooo happy, hello second tri!!
What's new with baby (size, development)? Lemon (that sounds fairly big) her vocal cords are forming!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby? I finally decided how we will announce on facebook and to the family on memorial day wknd and I'm super excited! This morning, I ordered the cutest Big Brother security guard tshirt for my son to wear to announce to fam and take pictures in for the fb announcement.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: We found out its a girl!! Instead of celebrating my parents basically said I'm going to have to "step up" more b/c hubby can't do as much for a girl. What??! I do a lot for my son so I have not idea where this is coming from but first I was really hurt and then I was offended. Now I'm just like whatever, ya'll are rude.
When is your next appointment? Next Tuesday! can't wait, its an ultrasound.
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush (stolen from Monday)? Danny Wood, New Kids on the Block. Yes that is embarrassing to admit.
What's new with baby (size, development)? I think I've got a couple plums in there
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby? Nothing still!
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Feeling good, but out of breath a lot. I just found out yesterday that with twins they start looking at anatomy around 15 weeks instead of 20 so I should be able to find out in the next few weeks what we have in here!
When is your next appointment? I had one on Monday and another yesterday. My next one isn't until June 2nd.
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush (stolen from Monday)? Ummm I think Devon Sawa. Remember him??? He was in Now & Then and Casper

Wait WTAF? Seriously? I'm pretty sure there's not a whole lot of difference between the sexes (or genders) in the first few years of life. And besides, she's a girl, not a different species!
Insulting to you for sure - I'm sure you do a marvelous job caring for your son. But also insulting to your H- I'm sure he is perfectly capable of attending to the needs of a little girl - and an older girl and young woman. I hate when people say sexist stuff like this.
Sorry for the rant but man that pushed my buttons.
So embarrassing story. I started my period at 11 and was super embarrassed about it for a long time. One night I needed some pads but it was late so my dad drove me to the closest quick stop and told me to pick out what I wanted. Well I was super used to the large variety at Walmart and couldn't find the ones I liked (I always used the thinnest ones possible). So I just grabbed another kind but when I got home I threw the biggest fit because the pad was so bulky and uncomfortable. So my dad (since it was late) made a small rip in the side and modified it for me. That got me through the night and we went to Walmart in the morning!
Dads can be the bomb! If that happened to me @TwandaFTG my MOM would have told me to suck it up and deal with it.. Sometimes dads>moms even for lady things!

Pretty sure my mom was offering me her tampax as a solution~I was 13 and I tried it and it didn't work!! Dad to the rescue!
But seriously, those pads were enormous and not meant for a pre-teen!
shevaCCsweetlyuntied thanks for empathizing with me! I was really shocked b/c I really value my parents opinion on pretty much everything and its hurtful to think they view me as "not doing enough" for our son. Even though last year when I was contemplating quitting my job so I could be home with him full time my mother was the first person to speak out against that option! (don't worry her thoughts didn't influence me) And I totally agree that its ridiculous to think my husband cant help as much with a girl! He may be slightly challenged in the hair department but that's literally the only thing I can think of at least until she is way older and looking for motherly type advice on dating and boys etc. But that's decades away! anyway whatever, I'm over it for the most part now.
