How far along are you? 11 weeks
How big is baby? Lime
Upcoming appointments this week? I have an appointment this afternoon.
Any new symptoms or changes? Still experiencing nausea, and terrible fatigue. I also still have lots of acne, although my back seems to be clearing up just a bit.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Planning to do some maternity shopping this weekend, I don't really NEED to wear maternity yet, but I'm getting really antsy feeling like there's nothing to really "do" to prepare for baby yet.
How far along are you? Finally 12 weeks!
How big is baby? Plum
Upcoming appointments this week? Not this week, but I found out that I AM getting to see the little bean on u/s again next week, and I can't WAIT. The last time I saw him, he was just a little jelly bean. Now he'll look like a human!
Any new symptoms or changes? M/s and fatigue is getting better, but not gone. I've been getting headaches. It may be related to water and food consumption, or it may just be hormonal. Starting to have leg discomfort.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: a lot of people keep commenting, especially over Christmas, about what and how much I'm eating. I'm having a hard enough time knowing I'm going to gain so much weight, and my body is going to change so much. I really don't need the comments. I had body image issues in high school (doesn't everyone?), and while I haven't had problems for years, they're coming back now that my body is going to change so much.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
One more week of Christmas break. I've been enjoying most of it on my couch cuddling my dog and pretending I don't have any papers to grade.
GTKY:
one of those "as seen on tv" pressure cookers. I'm all about easy and fast dinners!
How big is baby? a lemon
Upcoming appointments this week? no, but I should be getting the results from my bloodwork.
Any new symptoms or changes? my boobs are back to normal size. Backstory: I was a 32g since 6th grade, through both pregnancies no change in size. After bfing my second I dropped almost 2 sizes. But, they're baaaaack.
Rants/Raves/Questions. My sil is pregnant and keeps trying to tell every one that she will have her baby almost 3 weeks early bc she's so big. Her last US baby boy was 7 lbs 8 oz. My boy was 8lbs 3oz at delivery, she twice my size and "about to pop" she's due Jan 29.
GTKY: what was the best gift you received this holI day season? I got a Copper Skillet! I can't wait to use it!
Thanks for starting this, @CrystalPDX !
How far along are you? 13 weeks
How big is baby? A jalapeño or lemon
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope!
Any new symptoms or changes? My bra size has gone up a whole cup so that's really fun. Also, I can no longer zip or button a single pair of jeans that I own. I haven't buckled down and bought maternity pants yet, still tying to make due in leggings. But it's hard.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Can I rant about how I HATE sitting near stinky co-workers who smell like stale cigarette smoke all day? Ugh it's driving me crazy.
How big is baby? Navel orange
Upcoming appointments this week? None this week.
Any new symptoms or changes? Nausea is gone, and I'm starting to get some energy back!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Symptom rant. I've been having back pain, but last week it was so bad I couldn't get up or walk. Went to the doc and I have a sciatic nerve. Waiting for a physiotherapist appointment. In the meantime lots of stretching and heat pads. It really really sucks, and I hope it doesn't stay like this.

Still completely nauseated.

I told my husband that I didn't want to tell anyone until after I heard the heat beat, but he managed to tell both his mom and my mom.
A box to store my essential oils.

Any new symptoms or changes? My appetite is back with a vengeance. Also, definitely experiencing weird dreams.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I went to yoga with my MIL today. The teacher was fantastic and showed me a few poses after class to help with the lower back and hip pain that I've been dealing with since getting my BFP.
How big is baby? Strawberry
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope. Next Friday when I get the NIPT.
Any new symptoms or changes? I thought I was doing better on the nausea but then the last two days it hit me hard again. Ugh.

How big is baby? Plum
Upcoming appointments this week? None this week.
Any new symptoms or changes? Vomiting less and having to take less meds for nausea. Hoping it's coming to an end. I was sick almost all of my past pregnancy. This time it's worse so hoping for the best.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Not really. Going to try for VBAC. A bit nervous about that but the c-section was really hard.
