    1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 19 weeks! Size of a mango or 4 toed hedgehog lol. Almost halfway!
    2) How are you feeling?  I realized the other day I'm not eating bagels on a daily basis, so better!
     
    3) Any appointments this week/last?  Nope

    4) Have you switched to maternity clothes yet? Since, like, week 12 when all the bloat was fluffing me up, haha. Am stocking up, though. 

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?     Been a decent week, pregnancy wise. I count myself blessed that my area is in the regions ablaze or facing hurricanes. 

    6) GTKY:  What is your favorite way to unwind and relax?   I like to turn off my brain (and body) and park my butt and watch tv/movies.  I should find a more active way to relax, haha.

    First ticker change of September! 

    1) How far along are you    ? How big is baby?      
    18 weeks. Little one is an artichoke.

    2) How are you feeling?  
    Just fine. Work stresses me out but what can ya do.
     
    3) Any appointments this week/last?     
    Nope.

    4) Have you switched to maternity clothes yet?   
    Yes for the most part. In pants for sure. 

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?         
    I started a 4 week birth course today and I'm probably the least pregnant person there. But I just don't know how people can wait until the end! I want to know all the things now.

    6) GTKY:  What is your favorite way to unwind and relax?        
    I agree @clc515 with Netflix and chill (but for real though!). Otherwise I recently found a good book that I like. I've been usuing an oil diffuser with lavender. And just yesterday I got an app named Calm that seems awesome for relaxing.

    1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 17 weeks + 1. The babe is a pomegranate. 

    2) How are you feeling?  Not bad. Friends say I have that pregnancy glow. I just feel like my face is a bit on the oilier side! I've also been full of gas these past two days. 
     
    3) Any appointments this week/last?  Next Tuesday!

    4) Have you switched to maternity clothes yet? I need to buy more work clothes. My skirts and pants are tight! So far, I only have one pair of maternity jeans and a pair of leggings. 

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?     Set a date for my baby shower for mid-November. Gotta start that registry soon, but the process seems so overwhelming with 9847575 types of car seats, strollers, and baby items. Yeesh! I wish there was a baby planner similar to a wedding planner who can magically create a registry for me. 

    6) GTKY:  What is your favorite way to unwind and relax?   Well, it used to be wine, but not anymore! Right now, it's either a book, TV, or a movie. I recently binge watched the first season of Life in Pieces. Great show!

    1) How far along are you    ? How big is baby?  
    17 weeks, pomegranate     

    2) How are you feeling?  
    I feel like I'm starting to turn the corner.  The nausea is slowly getting better.
     
    3) Any appointments this week/last?     
    Nope.

    4) Have you switched to maternity clothes yet?
    Mostly.  I bought a bunch last weekend.  I still have some flowy skirts and dresses that I think I'll be able to keep wearing for a while though.   

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?         
    Rave!  Finally have a craving!  Chai latte.  So much better than nothing but aversions.

    6) GTKY:  What is your favorite way to unwind and relax?        
    Mostly read.  Or binge watch something.  That doesn't happen too often though.  I used to go hiking a lot.  Kinda wanting to do that with the weather getting a tiny bit cooler, but I get winded walking up the stairs in my house right now.

    3) Any appointments this week/last? No appointments until the end of the month.    

    4) Have you switched to maternity clothes yet?   Been in them for a few weeks. LOL

    @mblomq2  My friend gave me some lavender essential oil and I'm not sure what to do with it lol. How are you liking the diffuser?

    @jennifer_m21 I feel so overwhelmed by this registry stuff! I have a lot of the small stuff (safety gear, swaddles, etc) picked out... But the stroller/car seat sections in Buy Buy Baby was too much to take in so I just walked past them! As it turns out, my car has a limited # of infant rear facing car seats that are compatible, so at least that list is narrowed down, but still omg. We will make our registries public end of the month, and baby shower is mid-Nov too! Also, I think BBB has the option to copy someone else's registry, so it'll at least give you a start if you know someone who's been preggo lately. They have checklists, but they seem kinda excessive.

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

    16 wks - avocado 

    2) How are you feeling?  

    Pretty good - I had a scare yesterday with spotting but...
     
    3) Any appointments this week/last?  

    Went to the dr and they got me in right away for a sono and baby was fine. I just wish they could find the cause of the bleeding. I haven't had anything since 11 weeks.  

    4) Have you switched to maternity clothes yet?   

    Since about 13 weeks I've been in maternity pants - most of my tops are still holding on.

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?  

    My son is turning 1 in 3 weeks and I just don't know how it happened so quickly! He was a peanut just a second ago! (Not really a rant or a rave I guess haha)  

    6) GTKY:  What is your favorite way to unwind and relax?        

    Big sweats - feet up - trashy tv

    @clc515 @jennifer_m21 DH and I went to BUYBUYBABY this past wknd and literally the only place we started to get cranky and panic was the stroller area. What I've been doing is browsing online and then starting registries with things I like along the way. It's easier to compare items online, though I think in store has its time and place. Right now I have amazon, target, and IKEA. I know there are places you can combine lists, I believe this app even has that capability.

    @mblomq2 I like Buy Buy Baby, but unfortunately, there isn't a store nearby my family who like to shop in-store. I plan on using Amazon, and Babies R Us (so many locations!). Babylist is another registry that can combine lists.

    @jennifer_m21 and @mblomq2 Pretty sure Amazon has a universal registry, and want to say Target does too.

    I'm actually torn on registering at 3 (BBB, Amazon, Target) cuz there aren't many BBBs in the area. Thinking Target more for my older aunties who still shop in brick and mortars. Is it taboo to be registered 3 places? Most invites I see look like just 2. I feel like BBB and Amazon should be enough but I keep thinking of the older ladies! 

    Edited for clarity.

    1) How far along are you? How big is baby?      
    16 weeks, avocado!

    2) How are you feeling?  
    Really good, but still pretty tired on account of getting up to pee. Also feeling kinda bloated and lumpy
     
    3) Any appointments this week/last? Next friday    

    4) Have you switched to maternity clothes yet?  
    Yes, a bit. maternity tees are the most comfortable things ever.

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?         
    Does anyone else feel like all of their weight gain has been belly fat? I've always heard that, health wise, carrying extra weight in your abdomen is not ideal. Obviously there will be belly gain in pregnancy, I just thought it might be a bit more distributed before my official bump came in?

    6) GTKY:  What is your favorite way to unwind and relax?
    You guys, I sprung for a prenatal massage the other week. It was amazing. Do it if you can. :-)

    @clc515 - yeah, Amazon uses Universal Registry. Love, love, love Amazon! I want to include just one brick and mortar since I'll have family that like the in-store experience better.
