  • 1. 13 weeks! EDD 4/17. Announced today to coworkers and friends. 

    2. Baby is the size of a lemon. 

    3. No appointments. Not for three weeks and it feels like forever. 

    4. Nausea has faded the last three days and it's such a relief! Uterus feels heavy on the bladder when I pee. Feeling twinges and stretching all the time. I'm a petite person and underweight due to nausea so I'm guessing there's a lot of stretching beginning. Still sleepy as heck and peeing a lot. 

    5. My rant is that being a FTM of a baby that's gotten this far, it feels like it will be so long before I have a bump and feel anything. I'm jealous of you all with bumps and flutters. I'm entering the stage when I've started feeling less pregnant but also don't look it and can't feel it. And being PGAL it'll be a long stretch of waiting. 

    6. I can eat like two pieces of candy corn. Then it's like, ew. 

  • How far along are you? 12 weeks 

    How big is baby? Plum  <3

    Appointments this week? NT Scan tomorrow!  Very anxious and hoping all goes well!

    Symptoms? Still nauseous, food aversions are starting to get better, feeling extremely fatigued and feeling tons of stretching and pulling today

    Rant/Rave/Questions?  Rant: I can't wait to start looking pregnant and not like I ate a lot of burritos.

    GTKY: Thoughts on Candy Corn...yay or nay?  I used to LOVE it as a kid, now not so much.   :s

    Appointments this week? NT Scan Thursday!  I'm so excited to see the little one.  I also being able to see how we are all going through the same types of things at the same time, makes me feel less afraid.  

    Symptoms? Nausea is starting to get better, now I have to pee all the time, and of course very hungry

    Rant/Rave/Questions?  I literally don't know if I am just getting fat or getting a bump, so confused.  

    GTKY: Thoughts on Candy Corn...yay or nay?  Hate the stuff, never liked it and I don't get why people keep giving it out.  


  • 13 weeks!

    A lemon

    No appointments this week.

    Nausea and fatigue are still hitting pretty hard.

    I officially can't suck in the belly anymore. I know it's not baby yet but I plan to own it since we have started telling people.

    I don't dislike candy corn. Typically, a small handful is enough for me.
  • Thank you @aboxofchocolates  I appreciate it!
  • How far along are you? 13 weeks

    How big is baby? Jalapeño 

    Appointments this week? Thursday! I think it's more for questions but I think I'll hear the heartbeat

    Symptoms? Not much anymore!!!which is good,  but scary

    Rant/Rave/Questions? I just want to show already! 

    GTKY: Thoughts on Candy Corn...yay or nay?  Too sweet! 
  • How far along are you? 13w1d

    How big is baby? Lemon

    Appointments this week? We had the NT scan yesterday.  Baby girl would not really participate in letting them get the right picture to document the measurements but all looked good.  I was just happy to see the wiggly little baby and hear that heartbeat!

    Symptoms? Food aversion is still going strong but man, the round ligament (I think that's what it is) pain is legit.  I've had it happen like 3 different times getting up from the couch and each time it brought tears to my eyes.  Hoping it doesn't stay around for long!

    Rant/Rave/Questions? Found out I have an anterior placenta - so bummed that this means I may not feel as much of the baby moving.  Hoping it won't be the case!

    GTKY: Thoughts on Candy Corn...yay or nay? Eh it's ok - I like it more for decoration than for eating

  • @M&amp;Max, I had an anterior with DS so my OB told me I may not feel him as early with that and being that he was my first. I felt him from 18 weeks on though and she was surprised at it being that early! I felt him super strongly the whole time too. This one I have the opposite so I am curious to see if I feel more/differently.
    BabyFruit Ticker
  • Thanks @mylittleirvz - that's super reassuring.  With DS I felt him for sure around like 16 weeks but I know I was feeling him earlier but just didn't realize it.  I'm anxious to already feel this one but happy that you were able to feel yours strongly the whole time.  I feel like them moving around is so reassuring.

    How big is baby? 
    Orange or pear, depending on the app.
    Appointments this week? 
    Had our 'meet the OB' appt on Monday, and since she had an inexperienced medical student with her, we got to see and hear the little bugger again so the student could get some practice. 
    Symptoms? 
    Tired, my temper seems a bit shorter. Can't decide if that's due to working on a college campus, or if my fuse is just shorter in pregnancy. 
    Rant/Rave/Questions? 
    Got nothin'. 
    GTKY: Thoughts on Candy Corn...yay or nay?  Depends on my mood. Some days yes, others no.
