  1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 
  13 weeks, size of a clownfish.

  Lots of nausea, terrible headaches, and sleep is hard. I'm not enjoying this first part of pregnancy very much.
  

  
  

  3) Any appointments this week?
  Not this week, but next!
  

  
  

  4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
  I'm a FTM, and am feeling increasing anxiety about labor and delivery. How normal is this?
  
  5) GTKY: Since we are either in our second trimester or almost in it, what are you looking forward to about it?
  I'm looking forward to feeling better (hopefully!). I'd really like to feel up to getting house stuff done. I'm also looking forward to feeling baby move and the sex.

  Thanks for starting this @alice0218!!
  
  1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 

  14 weeks! Made it to 2nd tri!!! (Btw I'm kinda confused about that, I thought it started at end of 13 weeks but the apps told me it starts now...) babies (mo/di twins) are the size of peaches
  
  

  2) How are you feeling?
  

  Feeling good this week energy wise, been feeling really bloated tho. I think I have a new bump that is all bloat/fat. Also had a total emotional breakdown last night over my house being dirty, and today am really not that upset about it. I guess It was pretty awful for DH cause he just dusted and swept the whole house!
  
  

  3) Any appointments this week?

  nope. Got my blood test results back this week and all is well, NIPT came back low risk for all 3 trisomys. T-minus 2w3d till 16w US when we will prob find out the sex of the babes!
  
  

  4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
  Began growing a giant zit on the side of my nose. It hurts. Am I totally insane to think that I might be able to run or run/walk a half marathon at the end of Oct? Ran 6 miles today and felt pretty good except I had to stop and pee. I wouldn't be worried if I was only having one baby, but am afraid I'll be just huge by then. 
  
  5) GTKY: Since we are either in our second trimester or almost in it, what are you looking forward to about it?
  Can't wait to tell everyone and get it all out in the open! Also will be finding out the sex soon. Yay!

  1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
  I'm 15 weeks today: the size of a naval orange.
  
  2) How are you feeling?
  Good. I'm getting a little concerned about my weight gain though. I seemed to gain more than average in the first trimester, and I'm probably overthinking this, but I'm tying to focus on making much better choices to get back on track.
  
  3) Any appointments this week?
  Not until next week when we have the 16 week check up!
  
  4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
  So far I'm enjoying the 2nd trimester a hell of a lot more

  1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 

  13 weeks. Size of a ripe jalapeño (or clownfish).

  2) How are you feeling?
  

  I'm feeling mostly ok. I've been lucky. Still tired but less so. And bloated but that is not really that bad compared to other things.

  3) Any appointments this week?

  No.

  4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
  Nothing that I can really think of that I want to post about. @seltzerinstead Good luck with the running! I think you will know when your body tells you to stop. Like don't joints get more flexible and you get funny balance? IDK being a FTM but I think if those things happened and you were at greater risk of injury, your body would signal you to stop. Probably? Anyway I admire your dedication to fitness! I wish I was had more motivation in that area of life. @megandnoodle I think that is normal. I had a first appointment with the doctor with week and cried because I was worried about postpartum care. lol. I think it's hormones plus all this is so new and honestly a pretty big deal.
  5) GTKY: Since we are either in our second trimester or almost in it, what are you looking forward to about it?
  More energy! I hope I can get more work done, take none or fewer naps, hopefully exercise more too. Also looking forward to starting to get a pregnant shape instead of just this bloated shape I am in now.

  1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 15 +1

  
  

  2) How are you feeling? So dang tired. And constant lower back pain.
  

  
  

  3) Any appointments this week? We had our growth scan on friday, and both babies look great! The US tech also said she was 90 percent sure they were boys.

  
  

  4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I have literally tried everything for insomnia. Eating more protein, heating pad, a sleep app, benadryl. Nothing works. 4-5 hours of sleep each night is NOT cutting it while chasing around a 1 year old and growing two babies.
  
  5) GTKY: Since we are either in our second trimester or almost in it, what are you looking forward to about it? I didn't have the second trimester bliss everyone talked about with DD. So I highly doubt I will have it this go around either. I definitely need to make an appointment with my chiropractor asap!

  I'm excited to get some energy back! I was so exhausted during the first trimester.
