Any new symptoms or changes? TMI, I know, but I had some constipation over the last week that was starting to get to me. I finally hit the bathroom this morning and feel soooo much better.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I had to finally tell my family to stop touching my stomach area. It makes me feel uncomfortable because I'm short, so a hand on my stomach makes me feel like they're super close to my chest and way too close to my lady parts. My grandma, mother, father, and DH (who obviously bothers me the least), have all been handsy and I finally had had enough LOL.
GTKY: If you could live in a book, TV show or movie, what would it be? Oh man. Probably Harry Potter. Can you imagine? *sigh*
How big is baby? Peach. My Ovia app says house mouse, which I don't really like thinking about...
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope.
Any new symptoms or changes? Not really. Still dealing with nausea/tiredness pretty consistently. I was able to do the Women's March in my town on Saturday, which was awesome. But I had to take two naps yesterday so I think I paid for it
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave: We sent an announcement photo to our close group of college friends! It's nice to see everyone so excited. We are the first of our group to have a kid. Rant: DH wants to do a bigger Facebook announcement, but I'm not that comfortable with it yet. It feels AWish to me. Also I think it will force a conversation with my Dad about what he can/cannot share on Facebook, and I'm kind of dreading that.
GTKY: If you could live in a book, TV show or movie, what would it be? Probably Harry Potter, because who doesn't want to go to Hogwarts?

How big is baby? Onion
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope still waiting on 2/15 anatomy scan
Any new symptoms or changes? Feeling pretty good, still getting rid of my cold though.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Just living the dream.
GTKY: If you could live in a book, TV show or movie, what would it be? Harry Potter. Didn't even have to think about it. I've been to universal Orlando which is the closest I think one can get and it was worth every over priced penny.
@maybeitsmadeline, seriously my family knows I'm weird about touching they wouldn't even try without asking. I'm sorry they are so handsy though. I get panicky just thinking about people touching me.
@SpongeWorthy, I don't think that's aw worthy but I understand your concern. After going through infertility I felt super weird doing and FB announcement. I remembered how they could be to hurtful to see. So I did a very toned down chalkboard type announcement that was Christmas themed. Not a bunch of cutesy baby stuff on it or ultrasound picture. Recently two different friends contacted me because they didn't even realize that was an announcement or that I am pregnant. So, I feel you lady
Upcoming appointments this week? Friday - I have to do an early glucose test bc my mother has diabetes. Yea.
Any new symptoms or changes? I'm definitely feeling soooo much better but the reflux is out of control when I eat anything tomato. We eat a lot of things with tomato sauce around here, so it's tough!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm really tired of being sick. I'm not a sickly person, but I have two bad colds in the last two months. One right before Christmas and this one started last week. Tylenol cold is a joke.
GTKY: If you could live in a book, TV show or movie, what would it be? I would pick a crime scene tv show. I've always wanted a cool job like that.
Soooo ladies... I've never seen/read Harry Potter. I've tried to start the first book and lose interest within the first few pages. Please don't hate me.
@ginger1228, try a tablespoon or two of filtered apple cider vinegar for the heart burn before you eat the tomato. You can straight shoot it or mix with water. It is a miracle worker, I promise. It does burn (I take it straight) a bit going down that goes away quickly. It works after you have heartburn too.
@ginger1228 Ick! Good luck with the glucose test. And no hate on the Harry Potter front. I did the exact same thing with Game of Thrones. I got lost in the first few pages.

Any new symptoms or changes? **TMI Warning** I have had increased discharge for the past week which has made things a bit itchy at times. Seems like it's starting to go away though... hopefully.
Rants/Raves/Questions? It's Monday and my 1st day back to work after an 8 day vacation.... enough said.
GTKY: If you could live in a book, TV show or movie, what would it be? Any of the books by Danielle Steel or Janet Evanovich.

How big is baby? An avocado, or a cupcake according to the candy conversion chart! I'll probably have one today to celebrate.
Upcoming appointments this week? Not till next week
Any new symptoms or changes? Heartburn and headaches! I quit caffeine when we found out, but this last week the only headache cure I've found is a coke and two Tylenol.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave, I ordered a crib last night!! I found one I loved that he was not as in love with, but he gave in last night and we ordered it. It should be here the same day as our 4D US which is exciting.
GTKY: If you could live in a book, TV show or movie, what would it be? Not to copy, but obviously the only answer here is Harry Potter. I spend much of my daily life thinking about how magic would improve so much!!
@SpongeWorthy@Itsnotyourturn Not going to lie, my heart swelled seeing so many HP responses! Universal is AMAZING. I could stay there... forever.
@ginger1228 Eh, like most things some people like (read for me: are obsessed with), and others have no taste for them. I have to agree about GoT. I have zero interest in that. On the crime scene show front, I definitely wanted to be a medical examiner for a while, but now I work in business. Go figure.
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope, had one on Friday, everything's looking good!
Any new symptoms or changes? Still kind of tired. Having some round ligament pains.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Finally gave in and bought my first 2 pairs of maternity jeans yesterday! Where have these been all my life?!?!? I'll probably wear them even after baby is born!
GTKY: If you could live in a book, TV show or movie, what would it be? Probably one of the comedy shows like Friends, How I Met Your Mother, New Girl. I love the comradery of friendship in those shows. AND they're hysterical!
Upcoming appointments
this week? No appointments for a long time. Next one will be the AS!
Any new symptoms or
changes? Despite adding yet another medication to my routine, no real changes
on the abdominal pain. Recent bloodwork showed a slightly elevated thyroid
level, but it’s not high enough that they are pursuing anything. Now DH is
asking if maybe I’ve developed a food allergy. I don’t usually have any
allergies (except pet dander) so I’m not sure. I’m debating tracking my food
and trying to eliminate certain things to see if it makes a difference. Anyone
have any experience with this?
Rants/Raves/Questions?
See my question above. And it’s a rainy Monday, so yuck.
GTKY: If
you could live in a book, TV show or movie, what would it be? I agree
with all the Harry Potter answers! @ginger1228 I’m not sure we can be friends
anymore…
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope. I go back on 2/14 for my 16 week appointment and the ultrasound to check for the sex of the baby. My OB's office has changed things since the last time I had a baby. They now do separate scans for that and anatomy. I'll go back and have another scan at 20 weeks for the anatomy portion.
Any new symptoms or changes? Same stupid headaches this week. Oh and craving salads and lots of fruit.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I strongly dislike my boss. I don't know how I'm going to come back to this job after this baby is born.
GTKY: If you could live in a book, TV show or movie, what would it be? I would say This Is Us, Parenthood or Gilmore Girls.
Upcoming appointments this week? Had one on monday, all is ok. They tried to see gender but my baby wouldn't comply. Seriously at the downs test we were sent to pace for half an hour to make the baby move.
Any new symptoms or changes? Sleep is harder, more breathless, and just more tired faster.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Just want to not be tired. We're telling my work this week -coworkers- and I feel like a lot of people being very concerned about my health may be tough. I am supposed to stop nausea pills which would be fun!
GTKY: If you could live in a book, TV show or movie, what would it be? Can I second Gilmore girls? I also LOVE I love lucy......because of how she advocated for women and how fierce she was in her own upbringing.

@SpongeWorthy - thanks. I'm not looking forward to the glucose test bc I don't want to sit there for an hour. Then I have to do it again at 28 weeks.
@SaphireSweetie88 - I hear you on the discharge!!!! Holy cow.
@MrsMaggieMac15 - yea for the crib!! I'm also 16 weeks and loving that baby is the size of a cupcake. Yum.
I forgot to mention in my above post that my boobs don't seem to stop growing. Holy heckkkkk.
