1) How many weeks are you? 14! Hellooo 2nd trimester
2) How big is baby? A peach!
3) How are you feeling? Ahh, the fog has lifted and I actually felt well enough to go to prenatal yoga for the first time this week, which was so lovely.
4) Any appointments or tests this week? Nothing this week! Looking forward to my next midwife appointment to discuss the NT scan. It was hard for them to get pictures as apparently my uterus is tipped back.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave: I am so glad it's finally warming up and sunny here in southern Ontario! Rant: My cat is moving to a new home today and I'm super sad about it
6) GTKY: Name one store you would love to max out your credit card. This is a tough question.. because I love to shop. Does amazon count? I also spend too much at this small natural health and beauty boutique in my city called The Truth Beauty Company.
2) How big is baby? The size of a box or crayons or a yellow canary
3) How are you feeling? So tired but definitely climbing out of the MS funk.
4) Any appointments or tests this week? Next is 16+5 (we'll talk scheduling my A/S!!)
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? It's exciting to see October all hitting 2nd tri ❤ I can't believe the next milestones will be halfway and viability after that.
6) GTKY: Name one store you would love to max out your credit card. I wouldn't love maxing out my credit card anywhere but I could spend a pretty penny at j.Crew.

1) How many weeks are you? 16 -- that seems so crazy to me!
2) How big is baby? My app says the size of a dill pickle, not sure what my ticker says.
3) How are you feeling? Pretty good!
4) Any appointments or tests this week? Yes 16 week appointment on Thursday (I'll be closer to 17 weeks at that point) and they will do TSH labs to check my thyroid (I have hypothyroidism)
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm excited to schedule my anatomy scan at this week's appointment. Also, we went and had carne asada tacos for lunch and they were amazing.
6) GTKY: Name one store you would love to max out your credit card. Easily Target, though I'd rather just have a big gift card. Maxing out a credit card would cause me more stress than the shopping would cause me joy lol. I don't like debt.
3) How are you feeling? Good! We made our announcement last week and have been receiving lots of congratulations!
4) Any appointments or tests this week? No I just had one on Thursday
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave: At my OB appt, she said everything looks "perfect" and baby is growing right on target! This ultrasound, baby was moving all over, straightening and bending the arms and legs, and brushed the hand against their face. She looked to see if she could see anything regarding the sex, but couldn't find anything conclusive. Will have my anatomy scan next appt and will hopefully we will find out if baby is a boy or girl!
6) GTKY: Name one store you would love to max out your credit card. Oh geez, only one? Hmm...I'm thinking Dick's or the local running shop that I go to. Can never have too many workout clothes/running gear lol.
3) How are you feeling? I feel bad that I haven't been active in a few weeks. I'm going to try and be more active. On top of morning sickness 24/7, headaches, and many other symptoms, I have been back to back sick with bad colds for weeks, which is why I haven't been active. The MS is still there, but starting to let up.
4) Any appointments or tests this week? Nope
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm going to call my OB Monday, but she has been against me taking pretty much anything. I think I recall Mucinex being okay. Does anyone know?
Rave: In two weeks we are going on a family vacation to Austin and I am super excited. We have friends that moved there recently that we will hang with and I hear they have a great food and music scene.
6) GTKY: Name one store you would love to max out your credit card.
I love shopping, but can't think of just one store. Lately I have been doing some damage online with Zullily for baby and maternity stuff.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? RANT: I bought another baby monitor camera off eBay that is suppose to work with our current one. Well, it came today but the power cord doesn't work (it's obviously damaged). I plugged it in with my existing power cord and while it works, it says the camera can't be authorized when I try to connect it. Ugggh. What a pain. Good thing it only cost me $15 (which is a steal, since they sell for $99-$125 new). I need to call the company and see if because it's a used camera it can't be connected to mine or something. I might just send the whole thing back since I'll need a new power cord anyway, depending on how much shipping is since the whole thing was dirt cheap anyway.
6) GTKY: Name one store you would love to max out your credit card. I'm with the others saying that maxing out a credit card would cause me too much stress! but, honestly probably something lIke Home Depot. There's lots of stuff I want to do to our house.
3) How are you feeling? Pretty good . I literally hit 2nd tri and the nausea pretty much went away and OH MY GOODNESS THE HUNGER. EAT ALL THE FOOD! Not really, I still need to eat in smaller meals because I think my stomach has shrunk but I am eating a lot more food than in 1st tri.
4) Any appointments or tests this week? Had a long ass one last week to meet my midwives at the hospital. It went so well. I have so much support for VBAC.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
6) GTKY: Name one store you would love to max out your credit card. Probably a department store since it covers pretty much everything from clothes to home wares to toys! Our everyday credit card is only $12K but we have one tied to our home loan with something like $25K so this would be so much fun.
Sorry for the late post and semi MIA appearance! It's my last week of work teaching, and i have huge presentations in front of the district board members on top of it!
1) How many weeks are you? 15 weeks
2) How big is baby? Orange!
3) How are you feeling? Better. Tired and fat!
4) Any appointments or tests this week? None
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Horrible pregnancy dreams. I can't escape them.
6) GTKY: Name one store you would love to max out your credit card. When I'm normal weight and skinny? Bebe. Right now? Babies r us!

1) How many weeks are you? 15 2) How big is baby? Navel orange 3) How are you feeling? Really good. I don't even feel pregnant other than a belly that seems impossible to suck in without having to concentrate hard about it. It's easier to just let it out even if it's still squishy. I have had a few headaches but I'm sure there are tension headaches. 4) Any appointments or tests this week? Nope 5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Am I too 'braggy' or fake if I let my belly hang out without sucking it in? It's exhausting having to constantly think about sucking it in all the time. 6) GTKY: Name one store you would love to max out your credit card. This is tough because I'm such a practical spender. I'd pay all my bills and clear out debt. But if I had no debt and bills were all paid I'd go max my CC on a get away weekend with the hubby. We haven't gotten time away together in a very long time so that would be what I'd want
