    How far along are you? 22 weeks

    How big is baby?  Guinea pig 

    Upcoming appointments this week?  Next appt isn't until April 27th and it's just an OB check up

    Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? Nothing new... so my mantra is still "Eat all the food!"

    Rants/Raves/Questions?  I don't feel kicks still but I can feel the like pushing when baby moves and then (seemingly) jumps on my bladder so I pee every hour minimum haha

    GTKY:  What's your favorite article of maternity clothing so far? I just got a pair of skinny jeans that I love! They're so much better than the loose regular maternity jeans that I have... those are just anti-flattering haha

    How big is baby? two Chipotle burritos.  No wonder I always feel full

    Upcoming appointments this week? Level 2 ultrasound/anatomy scan with the high risk doc on Thursday, regular appointment with the midwife at my OB's office Friday.  So excited!!

    Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? I am finally starting to see the energy boost that was supposed to come like a month or more ago.  I got so much done this weekend!

    Rants/Raves/Questions?  We bought our glider this weekend and it's pretty ugly, but so fucking comfortable.  I'm excited to get it here and start actually setting up the nursery!  we got it basically empty this weekend.  

    GTKY:   What's your favorite article of maternity clothing so far?  The dress I'm wearing today.  It's so cute, but I have doubts that it is loose enough to make it all the way through a twin pregnancy.

    How far along are you? 20 weeks

    How big is baby? Banana

    Upcoming appointments this week? Nada!

    Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? My appetite has been really small again. Fine by me!

    Rants/Raves/Questions?  Nothing. I'm boring this week. 

    GTKY:   What's your favorite article of maternity clothing so far? I agree with @mokay19 on maternity skinny jeans. At least until it's warmer consistently here to wear dresses!

    @SarahBethBR - The glider we picked is on the uglier side too but I opted for comfort and overall function over aesthetic.

    How far along are you? 21 weeks

    How big is baby? Endive or Banana (although the WTE app says baby is 11 oz but the doctor told us it was 12 oz - or 3 sticks of butter - at our anatomy scan a week and a half ago so not sure I trust the app anymore).

    Upcoming appointments this week? None

    Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? DH can finally consistently feel baby moving!! I've been doing lots of walking/running the past few days and am soooo sore.

    Rants/Raves/Questions?  DH and I leave for vacation on Wednesday!

    GTKY:   What's your favorite article of maternity clothing so far? I have some great dresses I haven't gotten to wear yet (yay for warm weather for vacation) so right now, I'd have to say my gapfit maternity spandex. I've gotten so much use out of them. I can work from home most days so unless i'm wearing a dress, to leave the house takes about 45 minutes of trying clothes on because I don't have this maternity clothes thing down yet. I have plenty of options but nothing I really loved.

    @SarahBethBR I feel like I'm still waiting for this second trimester energy boost... I'm afraid that by the time it comes, I'll be entering the third trimester exhaustion!

    @kvh22 my DH is DYING to feel some movement!  He gets so jealous that I can feel things and he can't.  I'm very excited for when this baby moves enough for him to feel.

    @mokay19 he'd only felt it once before this weekend but the LO has been super active the past few days (or maybe it's just the way things are positioned right now) so he's been able to feel it a lot now. At my OB appt friday, she said based on everything from my anatomy scan (placement of things) I should definitely be feeling movements before I even mentioned it. I'm thankful baby and the placenta are in position for to feel so easily but I'm sure your DH will be able to feel so soon too!

    Also, now that DH can feel it, he's worried the baby is hurting me and keeps saying "be nice to mommy" and I have to remind him that (at least for now) it's just exciting, no discomfort.

    @mokay19 @szwill86 Where did you guys find good maternity skinny jeans?? All the ones I've tried are baggy and super wide leg.

    @secicc12 I tried on some skinny jeans and also jeggings at Kohl's this weekend. They fit my legs like other skinny jeans and jeggings do for me.

    @secicc12 I got mine on Pink Blush since there was a sale. But they're a little short so now that I see that @szwill86 got longs at old navy, I'll be testing theirs, too!

    @secicc12 just FYI that not all of the stores have maternity clothes in the physical stores. My Old Navy doesn't have a maternity section in the store but you can buy online and return in the store if needed.

    My favorite so far are Gap.  They are the only ones that are actually skinny in the legs.

    Old Navy are a good option but you have to size down like 1-2 sizes.  If you can't find the maternity clothes check the baby section.  My Old Navy has a small maternity section there.
