How far along are you? How big is baby? 12 weeks exactly...PRAISE THE LORDT!!!!! We're a plum according to TB, ripe apricot according to Ovia.
Appointments this week? None but we should be getting our panorama results back and that has me anxious. Not for any particular reason except that a friend of ours had really bad news after hers in August and then lost her Bean. so of course my anxiety is at 100 this week.
Symptoms? nausea still, although feels like less than the 6-8 week period, fatigue and soreness. So good lol
Rant/Rave/Questions? Just grateful to be at 12 weeks. I'll rest easier when I can feel them move more
GTKY: What's your favorite guilty pleasure meal? I've got a few but this pregnancy it's Macdonalds sausage mcmuffins and donuts. I never eat these regularly but now I'm balls to the wall with my cravings. Pre-pregnancy it was Disney popcorn, the absolute saltiest popcorn in existence.
Yep, just my monthly checkup on Thursday afternoon.
Symptoms?
My hunger is ticking up, but other than that...just cruising through the second trimester
Rant/Rave/Questions?
Have I mentioned how much I hate my fucking neighbors? I hate my fucking neighbors.
GTKY: What's your favorite guilty pleasure meal?
Pasta of all varieties, but macaroni and cheese takes the #1 slot. My mom said that she was surprised I wasn't orange as a kid, considering how picky I was about eating anything except the blue box special.
@sliztee Man I wish my kid liked mac and cheese as much as I do. Give me all the GMO's, there's nothing like some kraft mac!
@chopchop25 no judgement! I figured you were on vacay or something, being in charge of a weekly ticker can be like a job sometimes and I know you and I are early birds. How long ago did you take the test?
How far along are you? How big is baby? 12 weeks, a plum
Appointments this week? Waiting for a call to schedule my NT scan for hopefully this week
Symptoms? Still some nausea but no more vomiting thank goodness. A lot of dizziness because I have low blood pressure.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Definitely starting to show so I think I’m going to have to tell my boss by next week!
GTKY: What's your favorite guilty pleasure meal? Mac n’ cheese.

Appointments this week?
None.
Symptoms?
Holy heartburn, hello my old friend. I've gotten heartburn in the past associated with stomach ulcers, and I get super nauseous if I don't eat. So I guess more of the same old same old... Daily headaches/migraines and nightly back/hip/sciatic pain too. Also still nauseous in afternoon/evening. Who said 2nd trimester was better?? Lies!!!
Rant/Rave/Questions?
See my rant on my 2nd tri symptoms.
GTKY: What's your favorite guilty pleasure meal?
Well right now it seems to be nachos. Never really LOVED them that much before, but dang are they tasty now. Plus I can hide ground beef in there. First time eating beef in 2 months!!
I am 14 weeks today. According to my apps, the baby is the size of a peach
Appointments this week?
No appointments this week.
Symptoms?
Sore nipples, round ligament pain.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
I still have no OB doctor and I need one for FTP testing in 2 weeks. It sucks when you don't have good insurance, the governement/state doesn't care about the quality care one gets
@mrsmartinez16 took it last Tuesday and Counsyl received it on Friday. We're waiting for that and NIPT - then (for more info that you totally didn't ask for, but I'm super excited so going to ramble) having the sex info sent to two doughnut shops ahead of a small family reveal. We got the doughnut shop from my brother's wedding to make some for us in Philly and are going to FaceTime with my brother, his wife, and my mom while we bite into ours here in Portland. So fun and we're so excited to have them be a part of this, but so much waiting time!
I am 16 weeks today! My baby is the size of an avocado - DH’s favorite!
My monthly check up and blood work is on Friday morning!
I’m feel like I’m starting to pop a little. My lower abdomen feels really thick and kind of like a rubber chicken haha. I’m starting to finally have a bit of a bump and my skin feels like it’s being stretched. I saw my brother’s gf, who has the same due date of me, at my sister’s wedding and she has a huge, noticeable baby bump compared to me - and I hardly look pregnant!
@mommiesnuggles I;m sorry to hear about that health care struggle. That's annoying, especially as a Momma.
@chopchop25 we're in the same waiting game. We got blood drawn Weds and Natera contacted me Saturday to create a patient portal. Dr's office called me yesterday but they haven't received the fax yet with our results, we're doing an itty bitty reveal dinner with his Mom and my parents Saturday so I'm anxious to know everything is ok.
@ladyofarlington that's so exciting that you are your brother are expecting together! I'm like you, it took me a long time to show with DD and it appears to be the same this time around...I popped around 22-24 weeks though. My sister in law was already showing substantially at 12 weeks.
@ladyofarlington how neat! My sister and I are actally sharing this pregnancy! Our initial dates showed us 1 day apart. My baby is measuring 2-3 days ahead, and her's 5 days (I believe). So they changed her's yesterday, so we are supposedly a week apart now. I hate that we are states away though!
How far along are you? How big is baby?
12 weeks 1 day (I'm a day late writing this lol). And baby is size of a plum. Although today said a boiled egg!
Appointments this week?
Nothing this week
Symptoms?
HG, still losing weight from the obnoxious amount of throwing up. Insane amounts of nausea. Still freakin tired. Still having the headaches (I'm sure the throwing up tie into that) Hoping the second tri brings some energy.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
The last 24hrs has been the longest since getting pregnant. Can't keep fluids down, nothing. Nurse then tells me this morning that 12+ hours of not being able to keep fluids down equals er for fluids. Because I'm under 20 weeks. Apparently it's a far bigger deal before 20 weeks...
Happy to have finally reached the "safer" mark, I was really scared we wouldn't make it. DH keeps making fun of me because he says I use the doppler obsessively. Zero f's given. It eases my anxiety and let's me know baby is ok with me being so sick.
GTKY: What's your favorite guilty pleasure meal?
I don't know that I have a favorite. I just really love food
I had my 16 week appointment on Monday just to check in and listen to heartbeat which I had to record for DH since he was working.
Symptoms?
I feel not pregnant for the most part. No new symptoms
Rant/Rave/Questions?
The back pain is awful and Tylenol is worthless!
GTKY: What's your favorite guilty pleasure meal?
Um, everything I eat? I haven't been doing any vegetables I'm terrible! I've really been enjoying dragon rolls but it's cooked fish so I don't feel guilty.
