13 w 1d, jalapeno, toy car, lemon
What symptoms are you having?
Acne had kicked in full force on my forehead. This happened with DD as well. I never even had acne like this as a teenager. Other than that, it's hard to say right now what is pregnancy related and what is from being sick. I caught a virus from my DD. It started as a cold earlier this week then ramped into full fledged fever and body aches yesterday. Fever and aches are gone this morning, but holy hell I'm exhausted. Took the day off work and my mom came to watch DD, thank goodness.
Rants/Raves:
Rant- being sick while pregnant sucks. Rave, yay for finally nearing 2nd trimester. Some apps said I'm in the 2nd this week, others say next week.
Any questions this week?
Nope. Unless anyone has any pregnancy safe acne remedies.

In college I went on a date with a guy who tried to baby me. It was cold out and I was dressed appropriately and he tried to give me his coat like 20 times. It got old really fast. After dinner we went back to his apartment and he proceeded to get out his pot and pipe and offer me some. It was our first date and he never even mentioned smoking or pot or drugs during the date and neither did I, so I was shocked that he was so forward with it. I declined, grabbed my coat and left.

Any questions this week?
Anyone else on baby aspirin? My blood pressure was high and they said they are putting a lot of women on baby aspirin to try and avoid preclamsia

I went on a date with a guy that was very, very into science. It was awkward bc I could tell immediately it wasn’t going anywhere and told him, trying to be nice. He got very upset and tried to insult my intelligence. I’m a science major so l was keeping up with him. He was not happy! Luckily it was just drinks, and I got out quick!
How far along are you? What size is baby this week? 13 weeks. Size of a kiwi or lemon

GTKY: (Stolen from another BMB) Tell us about the worst/most awkward/most cringe-worthy date you've ever been on. Well there was this guy I thought was totally hot in HS but he graduated early and I was too chicken to ask him to prom. This other guy asked me and he was nice, we had known each other since elementary school, my parents knew him so I thought what the heck, why not. Everything went great until we got to prom. He introduced me to his friends and they were so annoying and wouldn't go away. He and his friends found a table and then just sat there, didn't dance or really move from the table. Apparently he told them we were boyfriend and girlfriend and they spent the night sitting at the table making comments how I was the 'old ball and chain' and telling the lamest jokes. I finally got up and joined a bunch of my girlfriends who were there and we danced and had fun. I really regret not asking the hottie to prom especially since we started dating a month or so after and he was like I would have totally went to prom with you.

Nausea has completely disappeared. I'm in that awkward stage where it's hard to believe I'm pregnant with no symptoms happened with DS too

Why is this not letting me copy + paste?! BLARGH
How far along? 13 weeks on Thurs
Symptoms: really exhausted. My 2yo is passing along is cold on top of that so I'm trying to fight that with more sleep but kids and peeing at night don't make more sleep doable.
rants/raves: We are stilllll working on our kitchen and probably have a month to go. It's looking nice and coming along but it's so awful to be without a kitchen. Total FWP.
I really don't think Ive had a truly awful date that I can remember! Some that were obvious duds but nothing really so awful that I had to lie my way out of it or got any great stories.

Rants/Raves: Rant: stressful time at work Rave: DD has been rubbing my belly and babbling at my belly but clearly the baby isnt talking back so then she smacks my belly lol. Sweetest thing ever!!!
Any questions this week? None
GTKY: (Stolen from another BMB) Tell us about the worst/most awkward/most cringe-worthy date you've ever been on. I think my DH was probably the most awkward date I ever had. He had horrible self image and had bad social anxiety. We were set up on a blind date. It took a while for me to really break through all of his awkwardness on dates. Obviously it worked out because we got married.
symptoms: ugh. They come and go. Exhausted today nauseous all weekend. They trade off. Anyone with the Acne remedies? I’m like one of my 7th graders .
Rants/raves: at first I was all for DH painting the upstairs but now it’s the ONLY thing he’s done for the last week. I never see him. Glad he’s motivated but I need a little help. The kitchen is not my friend.
Rave: Mexican food has been the best thing. I’ve had enchiladas for at least one meal a day for the last week. I made regular red ones and then green/white ones. Oh yummy.
AwkwardDate: I don’t have any really awful ones as DH was my first real boyfriend but I did have a guy ask me to the movies in high school where I wasn’t sure if it was a date or just a hang out. But then he bought snacks and my ticket but couldn’t get up the courage to hold my hand or anything. He did the whole awkward putting your arm around the girl thing from the commercial but never actually did. He didn’t speak to me for months afterwards. Poor guy
