How far along are you? 15 weeks

How big is baby? An orange

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope. Had a midwife appointment last week so nothing until Jan 2nd now.

Any new symptoms or changes? Morning sickness finally went away over the weekend! Belly has well and truly popped which is both exciting and terrifying.

Rants/Raves/Questions? None of my clothes fit anymore so I'm living in leggings and old nursing tanks till I figure out what I want to do. This is our last and I'm feeling resistance to buying maternity clothes. I thrashed my ones from my daughter so much I gifted them after she was born. I also just made the decision to work from home and give up my my desk at a co-working space, so I don't really need a huge wardrobe anymore. Is it terrible to just wear leggings for the next year?

GTKY: Which of your parents are you the most like? I think these days I'm more like my mother. I still see a lot of my dad in me, but I think becoming a mother has made me more aware of her traits in myself.

How big is baby? Peach!

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope, nothing until 1/3 but that is only a brief check point and will hear the heartbeat.

Any new symptoms or changes? Hip and lower back pain... guess it just comes with the territory.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Not at the moment...

GTKY: Which of your parents are you the most like and why? My dad all the way... I'm a Type A, perfectionist, control freak, research things to death, direct when discussing my feelings/a situation (but not as direct as him

) and just in general we approach a lot of things the same way compared to my mom who is the exact opposite from my dad. I would say I'm in between them, not as extreme as my dad, as I'm not really extroverted like him on top of the other personality traits but most things more like dad than my mom.

How big is baby? dill Pickle or avocado. Over 4.5 inches long and weighs approx 4 ounces.

Upcoming appointments this week? Not until next week!

Any new symptoms or changes? Nope, still feeling good.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing I can think of. I know, boring.

GTKY: Which of your parents are you the most like and why? I need to think about this one for a minute.

How far along are you? 14w - Hello 2nd tri!

How big is baby? Lemon

Upcoming appointments this week? Just had a prenatal this morning. OB again went over the low risk results from my panorama and results from my NT scan. All looks well!

Any new symptoms or changes? Starting to feel more myself and a lot less death.

Rants/Raves/Questions? My ILs want to do a last minute dinner out right before we see them all on Christmas Eve. I mean... going out isn't cheap when I have to pay for babysitting on top of the meal itself. Oh and they can eat and drink I tell you! There is no such thing as a meal less than 3 hours long. They want to hit the restaurant bar for 1.5 hours BEFORE our dinner reservations. Oh and it is December and I've already spent a fortune on gifts for everyone. Oh and they know DH and I are having our first date night in over half a year this Friday because money has been tight. Then again these people have more money than God and don't seem to understand that DH and I (like most people) are on a budget.

GTKY: Which of your parents are you the most like and why? I'm actually a complete mix of both. I'm very into sports and don't take things too seriously like my father. That said, as I get older I'm seeing more of my mother in my behavior and words. I tend to parent more like her and I have the habit of putting everyone else before me to the point where I'm terribly inconvenienced/adversely impacted or setback financially.

A clown fish!

Upcoming appointments this week?

Not until January; I had my 12-week appt last Friday.

Any new symptoms or changes?

I swear I feel more stretching going on in my abs area. Flipping around in bed usually invokes a sharp side pain too.

Rants/Raves/Questions?

Had the NT scan last Friday and everything looked awesome! Don't have blood work back yet, but it was a relief for DH and I to see Sticky Bun again, when we could....that bugger wouldn't stop moving around! I learned I have an anterior placenta too, which was a great tidbit for my researcher side to go explore.

Question: Is there a definite answer of when the second trimester actually begins? I asked my doctor and they said they consider it at the beginning of 13 weeks, but everywhere else I look it seems like 14 weeks. Did a guideline change or something?

GTKY: Which of your parents are you the most like and why?
I would say I'm more of a mix of their personalities (which are opposite of each other), but I would say more like my dad in the end. I am practical, straightforward, creative at probpem solving and research-driven. I enjoy the outdoors and don't mind the cold (helpful in AK) I love my family but have a hard time expressing it with words, so I go out of my way to show them with actions.

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope, not until the 28th!

Any new symptoms or changes? My morning sickness has faded and I'm so relieved. But exhaustion is still here, and I'm not sleeping well. Otherwise doing good!

Rants/Raves/Questions? Ugh, none of my bras fit. This is an issue for a girl who's already a 38D. Blergh.

GTKY: Definitely Mom.

Had one yesterday and got to hear the hb for the first time which was wonderful!

Any new symptoms or changes?
Nope.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
I finally told my co-workers today and that was fun! I brought a Panera pastry ring and put a note above it that said, "Eat up! My mom doesn't want to be the only one with a belly around here. - Baby G" Everyone was so sweet and excited! I love how much people love babies.

GTKY: Which of your parents are you the most like and why?
I am pretty different from both but most like my dad. He had a personal drive in his career that took him from basically a janitor to owning that same company 30 years later. My trajectory hasn't been quite as impressive but I have an internal motivation to succeed very similar to his. I also have his temper, unfortunately.

Two navel oranges

Upcoming appointments this week?
Next Wednesday, I have my sixteen-week midwife appointment.

Any new symptoms or changes?
I'm definitely starting to waddle. I'm trying to hold out as long as possible because of my back issues (bulging discs, degenerative disc disease), but it's becoming increasingly more difficult. I'm getting a belly harness soon; it's on order from my osteopath, so hopefully that will help (although my belly isn't THAT big, so I don't know). The nausea seems to be subsiding, but it's not gone yet.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
The nausea is worst on the train ride into work in the morning, which is when I want to be working on my writing. It's really frustrating because I have never had motion sickness before. So all I can do is sit there and listen to podcasts (which isn't, I guess, all bad!).

And the babies are in there tickling me a lot. HEE HEE! Love their little flashes of squirmings.

GTKY: Which of your parents are you the most like and why?
I'm going to pretend that I'm nothing at all like my mother, who is selfish, controlling, and loves guilt tripping. I'm like my father in that I try to see the best in people, and I have a tendency to play "devil's advocate" when someone's acting like a real jerk. And I can kind of be a doormat... Although I've tried to work on those things, so I'm getting better. (And yes, I'm trying to watch out for my mom's traits, too... I sure hope I'm succeeding.)

Upcoming appointments this week? Tomorrow

Any new symptoms or changes? I'm really itchy and my lips are chapped. I apply chapstick multiple times daily and have been moisturizing with lotion nightly. The lotion helps a little but my legs are still pretty itchy and the chapstick isn't helping at all

Rants/Raves/Questions?

GTKY: Which of your parents are you the most like and why? Personality-wise probably my mom. But we're still pretty different.

Yailani23 · December 2016

How big is baby? the size of a yellow canary or Èclair (yummmm)

Upcoming appointments this week? December 28th

Any new symptoms or changes? Nothing new

Rants/Raves/Questions? Can't wait for Christmas break!

GTKY: Which of your parents are you the most like and why? I think I'm a mix of both my parents. I have my mom's attitude, compassion & stubbornness. I am also very silly yet serious & have a 'get it done' mentality that comes from my dad.
