MollyandD · November 2016

How far along are you? 12 weeks!

How big is baby? The size of a key lime

Appointments this week? I was supposed to yesterday, but my midwife had to attend a birth. We rescheduled it to meet on Saturday.

Symptoms? I'm just pretty much always sick. Tuesday and Thursday were good days, and I had hope that nausea was fading off, but this morning it's back in full force. The last two weeks, minus those days mentioned, have been the worst ever for my nausea.

Rant/Rave/Questions? I can't wait for the appointment! I was planning to have the appointment yesterday, hear the heartbeat, and then tell my work today. Even though I feel pregnant for sure, after having a previous loss, I don't want to tell the world until I hear the heartbeat again. Last time I did was between 7 and 8 weeks.

GTKY? What is your favorite way to pamper yourself?
When I'm being cheap, I like long baths and reading in the tub. When I'm willing to spend money, I like to get massages.

jdebaie · November 2016

How far along are you?: 13 weeks

How big is baby?: A peach

Appointments this week?: I had one yesterday and it went really well! I heard the heartbeat over the doppler which really eased my mind.

Symptoms?: Constantly sick. I'm on Zofran again and I don't feel like it's helping me as much as it did with DD.

Rant/Rave/Questions?: I'm just so tired. It's really hard trying to sell our house (which is not going well), fix our new house, watch a 3 year old, work full-time, and be pregnant. (Sorry, that was a pitty party first thing in the morning!!)

GTKY? What is your favorite way to pamper yourself?: Reading a good book alone in a coffee shop in a comfy chair. Or, like @MollyandD, when I have money I like to get a massage!

How big is baby? plum

Appointments this week? Monday

Symptoms? Yesterday I had nausea all day. I'm feeling a bit better today. It comes and goes. Gagging is a problem lately. RLP happens when I get up fast or sneeze. Sometimes I feel perfectly normal though.

Rant/Rave/Questions? Are you still in regular pants or maternity pants? I'm debating whether to go shopping or suck it up for another few weeks.

GTKY? What is your favorite way to pamper yourself? Pedicures!

roper2617 · November 2016

How far along are you?

14 weeks!

How big is baby?

The size of a troll doll, or a peach.

Appointments this week?

None

Symptoms?

RLP, lightning crotch and insomnia.

Rant/Rave/Questions?
I made it to trimester two!!! Woooooo!' I'm so so so happy and am feeling more confident that this pregnancy will last.

GTKY? What is your favorite way to pamper yourself?
snuggled up reading a good book. Or having a bubble bath with candles, but never the two at the same time. I'm so very particular about my books and steam from the bath and wet hands ruins the pages!

roper2617 · November 2016

@KMD1106 I'm in maternity pants almost full time. The only thing stopping me from being in them alllll the time is the fact that I don't have enough pants and need to do more shopping. I bought them last week (so at 13 weeks), best decision ever.

newmamaro · November 2016

How far along are you? 14 weeks! Yay for 2nd Tri!

How big is baby? Troll doll, house mouse, or peach

Appointments this week? I have an ultrasound on Wednesday to check on my SCH

Symptoms? Still not a whole lot of energy. And I have a cold which isn't helping any.

Rant/Rave/Questions? My two year old DS is not sleeping at night. He either refuses to go down, or if he goes down he wakes up in the middle of the night for hours. I am one tired mama. Just want him to sleep, especially because he is mean when he is tired.

GTKY? What is your favorite way to pamper yourself?

@KMD1106, I have been in maternity pants for several weeks now. I am so uncomfortable trying to wear my regular pants with either a belly band or a hair tie.

clebl24 · November 2016

How far along are you? 12 weeks

How big is baby? Plum

Appointments this week? Nope

Symptoms? Bloat. Bloat. Bloat. It doesn't matter what or how much or how little I eat, I always feel bloated. That and I'm still tired all the time.

Rant/Rave/Questions? I hate that I look normal in the AM and preggars in the PM.

@newmamaro - DS is 2 and also not a great sleeper. I'm up 2-3 times a night. He goes back down pretty easily, but it's exhausting. I feel your pain.

@KMD1106 - In the mornings I don't feel the need to wear maternity pants, but it's a different story in the evenings. I did pull out my maternity clothes this week and have been wearing them at home in the evenings. They are comfortable and it's a good way to go through them and get them washed gradually.

They were packed in the top of my closet for 2 years. Would you wash before wearing?

GTKY? What is your favorite way to pamper yourself? I'm with you ladies, I love soaking at home in a hot bath. I also enjoy an occasional pedicure and massage.

bacorrea · November 2016

How big is baby? The size of a matchbox car.

Appointments this week? Nope. I still haven't heard from my referral so I don't have a doctor. *eye roll*

Symptoms? I'm still a little nauseated. I wanted egg salad and now I can't bring myself to look at it in the fridge. I'm waiting for my DH to come home and throw it out.

Rant/Rave/Questions? I'm just irritated I haven't heard from a referral yet. They have until Wednesday (7-10 business days). If I don't hear from them on Wednesday I plan to majorly complain to the Army hospital.

GTKY? What is your favorite way to pamper yourself? Getting my nails done for sure.

onebadmotha · November 2016

How far along are you? 11 weeks!

How big is baby? Reese's Peanut Butter Cup

Appointments this week? Routine appointment on Monday!

Symptoms? Tired, hungry all. the. time. (but better than nausea, so I'll take it!)

Rant/Rave/Questions? Nope

GTKY? What is your favorite way to pamper yourself? I'm not much into normal "pampering" stuff, but lately, I've found swimming laps to be incredibly relaxing, so we'll go with that. Also, bubble baths when I have access to a nice tub (my current one is terrible, and also overrun with baby bath toys).

KMD1106 · November 2016

@c lebl24- Mine have been packed away for almost 4 years. I'll probably throw them in the wash when I dig them out. If I'm in desperate need for some pants that day, I might do the smell test.

nda_roxybabe · November 2016

How far along are you? 14 weeks omg yay!!!

How big is baby? Peach or Mille Feuille (delicious French layer cake) or w/e the ole ticker says

Appointments this week? None, not till after Tgiving

Symptoms? Well, I thought I was done feeling nauseous when I get too hungry...apparently not. Stayed up to watch the Cubs game, was starving, but had already brushed my teeth and was going to go to sleep anyway. Yeeaaaa, I had to go make food.

Rant/Rave/Questions? I've already kind of ranted about maternity clothes being too big in the chest, thats it. Raves clearly for now being second tri!

GTKY? What is your favorite way to pamper yourself? I like to get a mani/pedi or a massage. I also like to splurge on new clothes.

mspacman34 · November 2016

How big is baby? Plum

Appointments this week? I had one on Wednesday and it went great! Got to hear the heartbeat.

Symptoms? Still tired. Dizzy spells have been pretty bad this past week. The dizziness is making simple things hard to do like cooking dinner. I'm thinking I should just let DH take over all dinners until the dizziness is gone

Rant/Rave/Questions? Has anyone else not gained weight yet? I'm feeling like my clothes are tighter, but no weight gain according to the doctor.

GTKY? What is your favorite way to pamper yourself? A pedicure is nice, but lately pampering myself consists of taking long naps.

Luckyu317 · November 2016

***14 weeks. Babies are the size of peaches. ***No Apts this week, next US on 11/16 ***Symptom: so tired still. My sciatic pain is in full gear, and horrible headaches twice a week. Yuck ***Rants/Raves: we're getting Christmas photos of the boys done tomorrow, so yay. ***GTKY: I had my first ever pedi back in May and it was pretty awesome. I like buying new make-up/body products (scrubs/soaps/lotions etc.)

roper2617 · November 2016

@mspacman34 I lost weight pretty steadily in first tri(though only 10lbs). I'm showing now and in the last week and a half my weight has finally stopped going down, instead it has just stayed the same. No weight gain yet.

cece2004 · November 2016

Hey all, I'm 11weeks 4 days... I will be 12 weeks Friday... my symptoms are extreme hypermesis... I'm due may 26th, and the way I pamper myself is by taking a nap whenever I can.. ( I have 3 other children)

StephyM89 · November 2016

How far along are you? 12 weeks!

How big is baby? The size of a plum!

Appointments this week? We had our last prenatal appointment with our fertility clinic this past week, and a few days before, a 12 week ultrasound!

Symptoms? Morning sickness has gotten a little worse, but it may be because I have been sick (really bad cold), my energy was coming back until I got sick too.

Rant/Rave/Questions? Still waiting for a bump....absolutely nothing yet!

GTKY? What is your favorite way to pamper yourself? A bubble bath by candlelight!

@roper2617 : totally late to the party here... but your comment made my mind flash on a comment I heard like 15 years ago at a book reading I went to... the author was talking about a love of books, and how there are two types of book lovers in the world: courtly lovers and carnal lovers. You def sound like you're in the former camp. No steam, no wet hands... you probably would get mad if someone dog-eared your pages?

I find myself personally in both camps... some books (actually, most) I truly revere and want to preserve in a nice fashion, but with others, I'll mark them up with corner bends and pencil sometimes. (gasp!)

CeCe8579 · November 2016

I haven't been around much but I wanted to check in. I'll be 12 weeks tomorrow so baby is the size of a plum just about. I had am ultrasound yesterday and genetic testing. I'm nauseous, tired and grumpy. I'll find out what I'm having next week which is exciting. I love to take naps to pamper myself.

roper2617 · November 2016

@SKZW lol! I actually do not lend books because I can't handle if they get dog eared or bent up in any other way. Haha. I wish I could be a little less uptight, I admire those who are so carefree with their books

megchelle · November 2016

I'm a couple days late but I am 14 weeks.
Baby is the size of a peach.
I have a routine prenatal appointment on Monday. I am ready to hear that heartbeat again!
My energy still sucks but I can partially blame that on what I'm eating I think. I get cravings for fast food crap and I'm sure that doesn't help.
I would really enjoy having a definitive baby bump at this point and not just feel and look really bloated and like I have a gut!
I am also ready to feel regular baby kicks and movement. This is my third baby and I have felt some flutters here and there but I love the full on kicks and jabs later in pregnancy.
Honestly my favorite way to pamper myself is to get a good chick flick from Redbox and some snacks and watch a movie alone. Haha. I know, so fun right!?

I would definitely be taking advantage of hubby doing the meals for sure!
