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

    2) How are you feeling?  Good---minus the intense headaches today
     
    3) Any appointments this week/last?     Nope

    4) Have you switched to maternity clothes yet?   In maternity clothes and loving life

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?         
    Rants: NPR, but my step sister is a piece of work.  My mom has done SO much for her---literally taken care of her kid on and off for 4+ years, helped pay for her divorce, been her support system through mental health issues, and on and on.  Well darling step sister has a new POS boyfriend and has turned on my mom--threatening to file a restraining order and took my mom's name off the pickup list at daycare. It makes me SOO mad because my mom has done so much (to the point where it has caused problems in my relationship with her at times) and my step sister is so ungrateful.  I want to say something to her--but she isn't stable now.  I just needed to vent a bit...sorry! 

    6) GTKY:  What is your favorite way to unwind and relax? A glass of wine (normally) and a good book.  Throw a bath in there and it is my perfect evening!

    1) How far along are you    ? How big is baby?      
    18 weeks! Baby is an  artichoke? 

    2) How are you feeling?  
     good :) no complaints 

    3) Any appointments this week/last?     
    anatomy scan next week! I'm excited to see DS2.

    4) Have you switched to maternity clothes yet?   
    pants and some shirts.  I thought I could live on minimal close… But I'm definitely going to have to go shopping again.  Having nothing that fits really stinks! 

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?         
    I wish I could feel LO more! I was feeling DD a lot more my now. DS2 barely moves. It's starting to worry me. 

    6) GTKY:  What is your favorite way to unwind and relax?        
    I usually just like to be a hermit and be alone. Or call a good friend.

    @msunshine123 It is frustrating...my mom loves my nephew so much and stepsister is using him to hurt my mom.  So selfish.   

    I always feel like this pregnancy is going so fast---until we do a check-in--bringing up the end of the month is a bummer! I am so excited about your anatomy scans...I have a month+ to wait.

    1) How far along are you? How big is baby?      
    16 weeks. I can't remember what size he is - maybe a dill pickle? 
    2) How are you feeling?  
     I'm feeling pretty good. I still have painful acne on my chin, I can't stay asleep, and my back hurts, BUT its still preferable to the 24/7 morning sickness I had in first tri. I've been working a TON these past couple weeks so its good to have energy. 

    3) Any appointments this week/last?     
    Nope. Nothing until end of month when I have anatomy scan. 

    4) Have you switched to maternity clothes yet?   
    oh yes. I've also "embraced" the bump. Even if it is bloat, I can't suck in so it just is what it is. Kind of freeing to let it all hang out. 

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?         
    I thought I felt baby move earlier this week, but as a FTM I have no idea. My PGAL brain says if I did feel him then but haven't felt him since that something must be wrong. I need to get my doppler out. 

    6) GTKY:  What is your favorite way to unwind and relax?        
    Wine and netflix. DH usually plays with my hair while we watch TV. Its my favorite. 

    @magnolia305 - She DOES sound like a piece of work. I have some persistent family drama myself and I've started telling myself "not my circus, not my monkeys" and just try to stay out of the way. I know it kills me to see my family hurt, but if they won't stand up for themselves and end the abuse, there isn't much I can do. I try not to take it on, but i know its SO hard.

    1) How far along are you? How big is baby?      
    18 weeks; an artichoke or a sweet potato

    2) How are you feeling?  
    Feeling pretty good. School started up this week, so I suppose tired too.

    3) Any appointments this week/last?     
    Had a regular check up last week and have my anatomy scan on Saturday!!!! Cannot wait to see baby again, how he/she is growing and finally find out the sex too!

    4) Have you switched to maternity clothes yet?   
    Yes!! It's glorious. Elastic belly bands are what regular clothes have been missing all my life. So comfortable!

    Definitely ranting today: I'm in my final semester of grad school and it's going to be so much more difficult than I anticipated. I commute 6 hours round trip to get to and from class (after a full day of teaching) and am doing an internship in my home district that requires 150 hours logged outside of my normal classroom hours between now and December 6th. The stress of everything hit me hard yesterday while I was doing my 3 hour drive home yesterday and I experienced the fun of crying while driving at night. Getting through this semester will be difficult, but if I can make it to December, I'll finally have my Master's degree in special education and be done with grad school forever!

    Before I was pregnant, a glass of wine and a good book. A good book will still do it - and maybe some hot chocolate.

    @Starynightsky24 and ash0625 - I am having a hard time feeling my LO too! It's #3 for me, sometimes I think I feel LO and then it's gas... but I'm sure in a few more weeks it'll be easier. 
    @gingermama26 - wow you are taking a lot on, but like you said you'll be so happy once you're done! My brother always said, "If it was easy everyone would do it." Keeping that in mind helped me push myself out of my comfort zone for my own degree. Good luck! Hope the anatomy scan goes great on Saturday! 
    @magnolia305 it is hard watching someone you love get hurt and people you love hurt one another. I agree with @ash0625.

    @gingermama26 Hang in there girl!  This will be a challenging few month, but you can do it and it will all be worth it!  

    Thanks for your kind words ladies.  I appreciate it!
