1) How many weeks are you? 15 weeks/EDD 10/9/17 2) How are you feeling? Pretty good! Can't suck it in anymore, wore a bellyband for the first time this pregnancy this weekend. I'm still comfortable (or as comfortable as my pre-pregnancy self) sleeping, I'm waiting for that to change for me to bust out the pregnancy sleeping pillow 3) Any appointments or tests this week? No happenings this week. 4 weeks until my anatomy scan, until then, just waiting feeling movement and intermittently using my home doppler (trying not to obsess over it) 4) Rants/Raves/Questions? DH and I fought over like a 17 billion things this weekend, some fight worthy, some not. But I'm exhausted from it. 5) GTKY: Are you a sports fan? Who are your teams? Baseball and Football are my sports! Detroit Tigers baseball and University of Michigan Wolverine Basketball and Football (although any UM I get behind)

1) How many weeks are you? 14 weeks 2) How are you feeling? Still nauseous at random times and exhausted. I have been having a lot of pelvic floor pain that seems to only be getting worse so I'm anxious to have another talk with my doc about it. 3) Any appointments or tests this week? I'm due for my 4-week check up now but doc said if we push it to next week that he'll try to see the gender for us. 4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I guess this goes back to the pelvic pain. I can barely be on my feet for more than 15-20 minutes without needing to sit down. I mentioned it to my doc back at 10 weeks when it was very mild and he wasn't concerned but it's gotten much more prevalent. 5) GTKY: Are you a sports fan? Who are your teams? Heck yeah!! Texas Rangers and Dallas Cowboys! i didn't attend a football university but I will always be a Texas Aggie at heart.
1) How many weeks are you? 16 weeks 2) How are you feeling? Pretty good. 3) Any appointments or tests this week? Nope. Next one is next week. 4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I've been so hungry and eating a ton of not great for me food, so I am trying to get that under control moving forward. I am not so much concerned about the quantity of what I've been eating, but the quality (lots of fast food and sodium, which is not usually my thing).
5) GTKY: Are you a sports fan? Who are your teams? Not really. I live in WI, so everyone here loves the Packers. I enjoy watching games and like to see them do well, but honestly, I don't really care. I also like going to baseball games (the brewers!) for the food, tailgating, environment, etc., but I don't follow them through the season and don't really care how they do. We're planning to take DD to her first baseball game this summer though!
October 2017 June Siggy Challenge -- "You Had One Job!"
Also, we should designate someone to start this thread every week, as @carries2018 mentioned when she started the post last week. @ForwardnBackward do you want to do it? (Just asking since you started it today). Any other volunteers? I would, but I'm seriously horrible at thinking of GTKY questions (I have anxiety just thinking about it).
October 2017 June Siggy Challenge -- "You Had One Job!"
1) How many weeks are you? 17 2) How are you feeling? Great, just had a hard time sleeping lately. Also weird pelvic floor sensation, sometimes cramps. Also anxious to ask dr about them next week. 3) Any appointments or tests this week? Not for another week. 4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Thinking of hospital is starting to make me anxious. Whyyyyyyy 5) GTKY: Are you a sports fan? Who are your teams? Yes! Futbol (Soccer lol). Dont have a particular team (although Sergio Ramos by himself could make me chose one) . Oh and also, basketball!
1) How many weeks are you? 16 weeks. Four months. 40% done!
2) How are you feeling? Okay. Jealous of my husband who has the day off
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Prenatal appointment with my doctor on Thursday. Hopefully to discuss the results of all my screening tests - if the Easter holidays haven't delayed the last set.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant directed at my bloody boss. I'm totally showing now, but I'm still not "out" at work, as I'm waiting for him to finalize my title bump / raise, so I can leave a decent gap between that and telling him I'm pregnant.
Luckily, the Vancouver weather has been horrible, so I've been able to hide myself in big, floaty cardigans, but I can't do that forever. Also, I don't want it to be like I've hidden in the pregnancy until the work stuff is sorted, so I think the absolute latest I can leave it is 20 weeks. That way, I can frame my announcement as "I'm 35, so high risk and we were waiting til we got the all-clear from the detail ultrasound."
Send "come ON, squirrel's boss" vibes towards California, please!
5) GTKY: Are you a sports fan? Who are your teams? Not really. I support the Canucks for hockey, but I'm not a rabid fan.

Who are your teams? baseball and football....NY GIANTS AND NY YANKEES
1) How many weeks are you? 14 Weeks 2) How are you feeling? Meh. No major complaints, but no rush of Second Trimester amazingness either.

Love the Olympics though!

1) How many weeks are you? 15 weeks! 2) How are you feeling? pretty good. Nausea is mostly gone. I need to be a bit more physically active since I'm feeling sore from all of my lounging :-) 3) Any appointments or tests this week? Nothing this week. Next week I go in for a blood test but I'm not sure what they'll test for?? 4) Rants/Raves/Questions? my (usually soft, squishy) belly is really round and not so squishy! That's fun. I really hope I can feel baby move soon, my pgal/ AMA/ FTM brain needs a lot of reassurance. 5) GTKY: Are you a sports fan? Who are your teams? not really
1) How many weeks are you? 12 weeks 2) How are you feeling? I'm start to feel more normal, though I still feel tired and nauseous by the evening. 3) Any appointments or tests this week? 12 week appt this Wednesday -- people keep posting about NT scans but I don't think I've ever had one? 4) Rants/Raves/Questions? We saw the heartbeat on the ultrasound but my OB said they no longer listen to it, so I'm looking forward to hearing it this Wednesday. I've been putting off trying to listen with my home doppler because I would freak out if I can't find the heartbeat but I read people often can't this early on. 5) GTKY: Are you a sports fan? Who are your teams? My family follows football the most -- my husband is a Redskins fan, son is for Baltimore Ravens, and daughter is for Carolina Panthers. Baseball -- O's fans.
1) How many weeks are you? 16 2) How are you feeling? tired. Other than that I'm great. 3) Any appointments or tests this week? nope 4) Rants/Raves/Questions? we find out gender next week!! I'm finally feeling baby flutters! 5) GTKY: Are you a sports fan? Who are your teams? nope. My hubby loves the 49ers and Chicago bulls though.
I feel for you ladies with rlp. I had that my last pregnancy and it is awful. Mine got progressively worse until baby was born and then it took probably 6ish months to feel almost normal. I say almost because the pain was gone but when I'd lose my balance slipping around on ice I could tell it still wasn't quite right. So far I haven't had it this time.
1) How many weeks are you? 12 weeks 2) How are you feeling? better, moodiness is going away which is good...bc i felt bad for H. Headaches are picking up though. 3) Any appointments or tests this week? NT test on Friday, Panorama should be coming back any day now! 4) Rants/Raves/Questions? not really. 5) GTKY: Are you a sports fan? Who are your teams? Classic Boston fan. love them all. Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics, and Patriots. But the Patriots are the team that truly has my heart, don't miss a game and follow all year long. The others I root for, love to see them in the playoffs but other than that i couldn't name the entire starting line up. So lucky to be a fan of such a competitive town!
