I have been in a generally good mood for a few days!

GTKY: What's the most adventurous/crazy thing you've ever done?
I did a lot of really crazy things in my early 20's and will leave it at that. I'm not much of an adventurous person these days,

Upcoming appointments this week? Monday for a general checkup

Any new symptoms or changes? Feeling good overall. My appetite came back. Still heartburn every now and then.

Rants/Raves/Questions? So ready for the 60's we are supposed to have today through the weekend.

GTKY: What's the most adventurous/crazy thing you've ever done? I was a passenger when my friend decided to follow a high speed chase. Long story short, we were right there when cops cornered the vehicle and pulled their guns. Scary!
Otherwise, zip lining in Thailand.

14 weeks!

How big is baby?
A peach.

Upcoming appointments this week?
Next Thursday

Any new symptoms or changes?
Not really. I'm definitely feeling better, minus the headache situation.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Work. It's as dumb as ever. One of the smaller things this week, but after telling a co-worker I wasn't available one specific day, he scheduled an uberly important meeting for that day and told me to "de-conflict" myself. Choice words for that guy.

GTKY: What's the most adventurous/crazy thing you've ever done?
I've done some things my mother doesn't approve of. The one thing that I feel I escaped with my life, was moving to BFE Alaska to be a bush pilot and I don't regret it for a second. It was the most amazing experience of my life.

jacksonbears · February 2017

How far along are you? 14 weeks!! I was measure a few days early at my last appt, but sticking here for now...

How big is baby? A peach or a beet

Upcoming appointments this week? Tomorrow, meeting the OB, then nothing for about 4 weeks...

Any new symptoms or changes? So now I'm waking up with headaches..is this normal? I plan on asking the doc tomorrow. No more real nausea anymore, but at times it comes up...

Rants/Raves/Questions? Not baby related, but my hubby is the worst gift give ever! We don't take valentines day serious, keep at a small range. He asked what i wanted, and i really needed new hand cream. Seriously, how can anyone mess that up?? He got a big gift basket from bath & body works, it had body lotion, night time lotion, body butter and body wash...no hand cream! What the hell! At least it's better than the appliances I received the last few occasions....

GTKY: What's the most adventurous/crazy thing you've ever done? Hmm, i've done a whole bunch of adventurous things. But I'm always nervous before doing it, gone scuba diving, hiking on a glacier, atv riding (which i hate now)...maybe the craziest was "bungie jumping". it wasn't actual bungie jumping, i was strapped on with two other people.

How big is baby? an avocado

Upcoming appointments this week? nope, just had one Tuesday, so my next one is a month- the big ultrasound!

Any new symptoms or changes? The blump turned into an official bump. Pretty cool!

Rants/Raves/Questions? So... I don't know if I'm just hyper-aware of my looks, but I think my face has a lot more peach fuzz than normal. I know hair growth is a Thing during pregnancy but I worry others notice the fuzziness.

GTKY: What's the most adventurous/crazy thing you've ever done?
Well, I'm afraid of heights, but I keep doing stuff that freaks me out because of FOMO. Parasailing scared me to death. Mountain skiing in Vail gave me a panic attack.
But, one of the coolest things I did was swim in a cenote near Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. SO COOL. Last year we went to the Blue Lagoon in Iceland and that was also one of the coolest things ever.

Bountifulbride · February 2017

I maybe felt the baby kick for the first day yesterday!

GTKY: What's the most adventurous/crazy thing you've ever done?
When I was 18 years old I flew to Europe alone and then spent three weeks working and sailing on a Danish tall ship sailing to ports in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and England.

How big is baby? Naval orange - 4 inches!

Upcoming appointments this week? No, next week, the wait is driving me bananas

Any new symptoms or changes? Terrible sinus cold the past week

Rants/Raves/Questions? Ordered a swimsuit yesterday, ridiculously excited about that because I live in Arizona and anticipate quite a bit of pool time this summer

GTKY: What's the most adventurous/crazy thing you've ever done? Cliff diving at over 50 feet -- you had to jump far enough out to clear two trees!

MrsPlatz · February 2017

How far along are you? 15wks

How big is baby? An orange

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope

Any new symptoms or changes? I'm doing better in general but still feel sick to my stomach multiple times a day

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm getting sick of work. I work with thirty 3-5yr olds and I feel like my immune system is on overdrive fighting off all their snotty noses and coughs. I love them

, but it's exhausting

.

GTKY: What's the most adventurous/crazy thing you've ever done? Going to Europe, making all the travel arrangements myself, when I was 20. Just my sister and I went and it was the best time!

MrsPlatz · February 2017

@caity024 It's funny you should mention bathing suits. My sister just texted me this week saying she can't wait to go to the pool with me this summer when I'm super "big and adorable". Lol Not sure if it'll be adorable, but the pool sounds great already

kvh22 · February 2017

@caity024 & @MrsPlatz Lurking from Monday ticker change. Curious if you got a one piece maternity suit or just a new two piece? Between our babymoon in Maui and the pool/beach here in California, I'm trying to figure out the best options and it's coming up quickly. Leaning towards ordering a slightly bigger size in a more "conservative" bikini (and seeing what I already have will work in 2 months) but interested in what other's think.

taylormarie923 · February 2017

@kvh22 I wore a 2 piece maternity suite with my son. The bottoms were like boy shorts and the top was a tank with more fabric for my belly. It was comfy, but annoying to swim in because the top fabric was constantly floating up so I had to tuck it into the bottoms. As I am writing this, I'm not sure if I'm recommending them or warning you lol

taylormarie923 · February 2017

How far along are you?
12 weeks

How big is baby?
Plums?

Upcoming appointments this week?
I had one this morning, where I go to to meet my OB and take a look at the babies.

Any new symptoms or changes?
I'm fairly certain my belly has popped and I'm starting to get that pain in my pubic symphasis. It's great.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
nada

GTKY: What's the most adventurous/crazy thing you've ever done?
im not as adventurous as some of you and don't have anything really juicy. The most adventurous thing I've done is probably moving halfway across the country sight unseen. Luckily I ended up loving my new home.

mrsvp614 · February 2017

How far along are you? 12 weeks!

How big is baby? Plum

Upcoming appointments this week? 12 week appt next week

Any new symptoms or changes? Tired, headaches, vivid dreams. Relying on leggings and belly band now. Can't button jeans/work pants.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant #1, still waiting on results from our Counsyl Informed Pregnancy Screening, so that's making me nervous. Rant #2, doctor emailed me to say she wants me to start taking baby aspirin daily, but with no explanation, so now I'm thinking that there was something wrong with my initial test results and a sign of pre-e.

GTKY: What's the most adventurous/crazy thing you've ever done? I've done bungee jumping, and parasailing, but I also invited my boyfriend to move across the county with me just about 2.5 months into our relationship. He's now my DH so it worked out!

We're going on our babymoon to Hawaii in 2 weeks (eee!). I'm gonna rock my bikini just because I'll finally have more boob than padding in the cups. Yay pregnancy boobs! (I'm usually a barely-A, so this is super exciting.)

As long as you feel confident in what you're wearing, wear whatever you want. If celebrities can wear bikinis with huge bellies why can't we? And if we're not that confident, the tankini seems nice. I scoped some at Target but none fit right.

caity024 · February 2017

@kvh22, I bought a halter tankini from MM. I figure I can alternate between that and my normal bikini- because boobs, may as well show em off while I can hahaha. Plus I generally buy the side tie bottoms so I'll hopefully be able to adjust as my belly shifts and grows. And I totally agree @DeansGirl14, as long as you rock it, it doesn't matter what you wear. We're growing humans, we're hot!

kvh22 · February 2017

@caity024 & @DeansGirl14 - Thanks for the tips. I'm normally very comfortable in a bikini but have always needed a bit more support up top...even more so now so just hoping what I have will fit come April

I've lost 7lbs since my BFP but am already up a cup size and band size in bras and feeling like my underwear is getting a bit tight on the sides too. Love the idea of the boyshorts, especially the not-laying-by-the-beach days (like snorkeling). I have some great ones for surfing and waterskiing that I forgot about.

@DeansGirl14 - can't wait to hear about your babymoon when you get back! You're almost 3 full weeks ahead of me and we're going 5 weeks after you guys so I'd love your advice. Enjoy!

Any new symptoms or changes?
Starting to feel myself again and it's glorious. Just in time for baseball season really taking off (DH is a coach).
Rants/Raves/Questions?
so happy it's the weekend - weather is beautiful here in central Texas. Thinking about taking DS to the zoo.
GTKY: What's the most adventurous/crazy thing you've ever done?
I was pretty crazy during late high school/early college but I don't like to recollect on those memories too much. So I will say the most adventurous thing I've ever done is travel to Rwanda, Africa.
