How far along are you? How big is baby? 15 weeks, size of a navel orange.
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 3 girls, 7,4, and 2.
How are your other kids doing this week? My 4 year old and 2 year old came home sick from their fathers house again this weekend. So we’re headed to the doctor today.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? It’s a pattern with my kids coming home sick from his house and since they live with me 90% of the time I’m the one to deal with it all the time.
I’ve lost 15 lbs over the last 2 weeks. I have no appetite. When I do make myself eat I end up super nauseous and/or vomit. Hoping that goes away soon. Definitely discussing with my OB next week at my appointment.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or a morning person? I’m a mix of both.
How far along are you? How big is baby? 15 weeks, Magic 8 ball
How many kids do you already have? Ages? DD 5 DS 2.5
How are your other kids doing this week? Good. DS keeps telling peoples that there are 2 babies in my belly, and now MIL is telling people that. So that’s fun explaining to people that I already had an US and there’s only 1 I was so happy that DD seemed to be doing better at dance yesterday(she not very coordinated but she loves it)
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? I had weird cramping all day yesterday, but it was more in my upper abdomin so I don’t think it was baby
GTKY: Are you a night owl or a morning person? Neither lol. I’m more of a middle of the day person. I love my sleep. I do wake up at 5:30 to go workout but I don’t enjoy waking up the early lol
@kyashley1227 sorry for the kiddos sickness AND for your nausea! Hopefully it lets up soon.
How far along are you? How big is baby? 14 weeks and some change - a peach/baby chick/troll doll
How many kids do you already have? Ages? DS - 3.5
How are your other kids doing this week? He's ok. He had this awful cough which had him in my bed almost every night for the past week. Finally last night he didn't wake me. He's doing much better with the me not picking him up too!
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? Not today I don't think.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or a morning person? Night owl FOR SURE. I'm barely adjusting to having to go to sleep so early with this damn pregnancy exhaustion.
@blueberrymomma I'm so in twin mode I was like, oh hey DS keeps telling people that too, but it totally went over my head that you have one haha. I always admire people who can wake up early to work out. It's never been something I can pull off.
How far along are you? How big is baby? 15 weeks, an orange/avocado
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 1DD 2yo
How are your other kids doing this week? She's good, spend a lot of time with grandparents this past weekend and yesterday so she's been a clingy momma's girl since getting home. I'm definitely not complaining
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? Recieved a placenta previa diagnosis yesterday. Happy baby is healthy, depressed that I have to deal with the worry for whether or not it will move and how many issues it may cause me for the rest of the pregnancy. Home today because of a massive headache that I blame on my lack of sleep and stressful day yesterday.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or a morning person? Used to be a night owl but my husband agrees that I'm definitely a morning person now more out of necessity for work.
How many kids do you already have? Ages? DS is 6 and DD is 3. How are your other kids doing this week?
They're alright. I'm solo parenting this week which can be exhausting. DD seems to be having a hard time with the idea of a new baby joining us in the Spring. She's regressed in potty training and is talking like a baby A LOT since we told them about it.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? See above. Anyone else experiencing their kids regressing with the news?
GTKY: Are you a night owl or a morning person?
Neither, really. I guess I could be a morning person if I can get a nap in!
How far along are you? How big is baby? 14 weeks!!!!!! GOODBYE 1st TRIMESTER!!!!! (I'm just a little excited)
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 5 yo DD, 2 yo DS
How are your other kids doing this week? Great! We got our first snow this week and the kids were besides themselves with excitement. I think I would be a little excited too if I had gotten the sprinklers blownout before it hit.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? I am just so freaking relieved that 1st tri is over. I am finally "out" to my boss, now to figure out non awkward ways to tell my (all male) coworkers.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or a morning person? I think this meme pretty much sums it up.
How far along are you? How big is baby? 13 + 5, lemon
How many kids do you already have? Ages? N (DD) - 8 months
How are your other kids doing this week? N is doing really well! She got to see both sets of grandparents this weekend, and she's been home all week: my husband took a mental health day yesterday and I took one today, so life is good for the little woman.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? We just found out this LO is a girl! I am so excited. Admittedly, my husband and I were both hoping for a boy - for me, I just want our kids to have their own identities and be seen as separate people, which I'm especially concerned about since they'll be so close in age, and I thought that battle might be easier if they were different sexes. But my husband and I are going to fight for that no matter what, and I can't stop thinking about how wonderful it will be to have two girls so close in age! Ahhh!!!!
GTKY: Are you a night owl or a morning person? 900% morning person. I naturally wake up early and love getting stuff done in the peace and quiet. In the evening, I fall asleep the moment my body stops being in motion. Especially with me being pregnant now, my poor husband hasn't made it through a TV show in MONTHS without me making him rewatch it a second time, starting from where I fell asleep.
@kyashley1227 I'm so sorry you're still feeling so sick! Fingers crossed you're on the upswing soon!
@angelob88 I was told I had placenta previa at my 16 week scan for N. Immediately, every what-if ran through my mind and I was so stressed out and scared. Was told to take it easy and not have sex. Sooner rather than later - by either my 20 or 26 week scan - I was told my placenta had moved and there was nothing to worry about. Hoping things go the same way for you!
How far along are you? How big is baby? 13 weeks. Matchbox car/clownfish/lemon
How many kids do you already have? Ages? DD-4
How are your other kids doing this week? Pretty good. I think we’re going through a growth spurt cause she seems to be eating constantly and napping more.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? Just feeling super anxious after the bleeding scare Friday night. And I’m still super nauseous most of the time and having a hard time with food. Still haven’t told work but our office has been an icebox so I’m huddled in my sweater to keep warm and to hide the bruises on my arms from them trying to get a vein.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or a morning person? Despite the fact that I have to up at 5:30 to get to work I am NOT a morning person.

@kyashley1227@MRDCle sorry your kids are sick! @blueberrymomma little girl dance class is so cute! @angelob88 boo to placenta previa. @BarefootContessa solo parenting while pregnant is brutal - been there @eli_belle yay for trimester 2! @ashtuesday congrats on another little girl! Don't worry, they'll be best friends even if they bicker. We have the same going on here with boys. @thatbaintforbetty hoping for no more bleeding and no more scares for you!
How far along are you? How big is baby? 12w6d, plum
How many kids do you already have? Ages? One son, almost 10 months
How are your other kids doing this week? He's alllllll over the place, climbing whatever he can and scaring the hell out of me. We're a little stuffy and had a fever over the weekend, but I think it's because he's finally cutting teeth, and he was a trooper about it anyway.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? I just want to feel normal again instead of sick and exhausted. I can't get anything done and being behind on everything at work and at home makes me super stressed!
GTKY: Are you a night owl or a morning person? I used to be a night owl. Now I am terrible at night and in the morning. I still prefer being up at night vs. getting up early, but it's pretty common for me to pass out while putting my son down at 8pm.
How far along are you? How big is baby? 13+3 - rubber duck. Last day of first trimester!
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 2 yo DD
How are your other kids doing this week? All good. She gets her twin bed and "grown up" dresser on Friday. I'm so excited.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? We didn't do any first trimester "extras" so we are debating on going to a boutique ultrasound place around 15-16 weeks to see if we can determine the sex or wait until almost 21 weeks, when the anatomy scan is. Thoughts? Has anyone done an actual ultrasound that early and it was right?
GTKY: Are you a night owl or a morning person? It depends. When I was in school I was a night owl but now that I'm a mom, I'm a morning person because I have to be.
@mrstmoose in both of my pregnancies they were able to tell the sex at our 12 week NT scan. Granted we already knew what it was from NIPT results, and I think it's a little easier when there's a penis to spot vs. the absence of one, but both times they were like "hey we can tell you what's in there if you want to know" and it was pretty easy for us to see as well. It's definitely possible!
@mrstmoose - I was just looking these up this morning. I am pretty sure most can tell my 16 weeks. I saw a few that were under 100 and said if they couldn't determine you could come back again for free until you could!
I had a few people I know who were told the wrong sex during their anatomy scan, we plan to do something later in pregnancy to confirm but I am so impatient and I want to know now lol.

How far along are you? How big is baby? 12 + 3, bump says baby would fit on a sugar packet. Kind of a weird thing to compare to.
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 2 - 6 & 2
How are your other kids doing this week? I feel like I’m a hostage negotiator. When they play together they generally get along really well but this week I’m not sure if it’s the change in weather or what but they’re driving me crazy!
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? Annoyed because my insurance doesn’t cover the genetic test my midwife ordered but at least the company that offers the test caps my cost at $349 instead of the full out of cost price my insurance quoted - $2000. I had just changed my benefits plan in June from a $6000 deductible to $12000 because we weren’t planning on any medical expenses this year. Clearly that changed when we got this surprise, lol.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or a morning person? Night owl for sure. I am NOT a morning person.
How far along are you? How big is baby? 16+1/avocado/CD. That is a massive avocado.
How many kids do you already have? Ages? DD- 1.5
How are your other kids doing this week? She’s sick but feeling pretty good with regular doses of Motrin. I am jealous of her ability to take Motrin. Or sudafed. Man, I would like some sudafed.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? DD has words!! Last night, she said “all done” SO clearly. Now, to teach her to use them more regularly. And then this morning she brushed my hair like I was the Barbie doll, haha.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or a morning person? night owl, but not to the level of DH (who regularly goes to bed between 2 & 3 am). I’m happy going to sleep at 11-12.
@lyse01 I love it when DD brushes my hair. She likes to play a game where she tells me it's time to go to sleep and then wakes me up and gets me ready for school by brushing my hair. It's my favorite.
How far along are you? How big is baby? 13 weeks 6 days - lemon/hot jalapeno pepper
How many kids do you already have? Ages? 1 daughter, age 3
How are your other kids doing this week? I think she might be getting sick. She's been extra clingy/whiney and usually only does that when she's not feeling well, but she doesn't have a fever and won't tell me if anything hurts.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? Nothing at the moment that I haven't already complained about elsewhere. I'm starting to feel like a broken record.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or a morning person? I'm definitely a night owl. I do like the idea of being a morning person, it's just never worked out for me.
How far along are you? How big is baby? 13 weeks, lemon
How many kids do you already have? Ages? DS almost 2
How are your other kids doing this week? He had a great day at daycare yesterday, zero accidents! But I'm worried he might be getting sick, he's felt a little warm and had a temperature of 99 since I picked him up yesterday, hoping it doesn't get any higher.
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? I just got the results of my first trimester blood test, and they said everything was at the lowest levels, which means a less than 1/10000 chance of the 3 chromosomal abnormalities they were testing for. Our ultrasound was Tuesday, and it also went well, and it was so great to see LO moving all over the place!
GTKY: Are you a night owl or a morning person? Definitely a night owl, I always hate waking up, and I'm so much more productive in the afternoon and evening. Too bad working in the evening isn't really possible with a toddler...
How are your other kids doing this week? 1DD-17 months
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? DD is regressing with sleep currently, and I’m getting so frustrated. Second trimester is here and I still am exhausted, no desire to eat, and nauseous. Ugh, it’s so hard when my last pregnancy was the complete opposite.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or a morning person? Neither! I sleep in til 8:30-9 and don’t stay up very late. Lol
How many kids do you already have? Ages? DD just turned 3!
How are your other kids doing this week? No good! She was supposed to be "phasing in" to her morning program, but caught croup instead. It is some scary-sounding sh*t, and she's been waking up every 30 minutes gasping for the past 2 nights. Help!
Rants/Raves? Concerns/Questions? I have my 12-week scan today and my PGAL brain is working overtime. Other than that, can't wait to say good-bye to first trimester.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or a morning person? Well, right now, I fall asleep on the couch any time after 9 and wake up around 8... so neither? Or, right now right now, I get up every 30 minutes for 15 minutes, so, neither? :P
