How are you feeling?: Feeling more easily fatigued. Love feeling the babies move!! Also feel huge already and can't believe we're still just under halfway through--crazy!
GTKY: What’s your favorite kind of weather? We don't get too much "real seasons" here in California, but I love the weather coming up in Oct/Nov, after the heat wears off a bit and we have chill mornings but warm (but not too hot) afternoons. We usually get some great sunsets around that time as well. I'm also looking forward to wearing sweaters/sweatshirts/leggings for the remainder of this pregnancy haha.

How are you feeling?: The iron supplement I was first put on was terrible. I was fine the first 4 days but day 5 and 6 I felt like crap. I was so miserable so I stopped taking it and called the doctor to have it switched. There was a bit of a issue with getting the new iron supplement so today is day 1 of taking it. Fingers crossed that it is better than the last one.
Also, I can't believe I'm at the half way point. I feel like I just found out. When you're in the first trimester, it feels sooo long but now that I'm here I'm baffled at where the time went. I feel like part of it is that my energy is mostly back to normal. When I had no energy and still had bad morning sickness, it felt like the days we never going to end.
GTKY: What’s your favorite kind of weather? I prefer the cold (crazy I moved to AZ, right!? lol). As far as the season goes, I love fall weather. But weather in general I love a really good rainy day. Thunder storms are good too but just an all day rain storm is my favorite. I always joke that it's because I was born in April (in NJ) so it would always rain on my birthday and/or on the day of my birthday party so I had to learn to love it but I'm not really sure where it came from.

Baby is the size of a (an): a prairie dog (I decided I wanted to use animals for comparision)
Team blue/pink/green: green
How are you feeling?: Sleeping has gotten harder. My hands fall asleep and my hips ache. But overall I feel a bit better otherwise.
GTKY: What’s your favorite kind of weather? When the sun is shining! Haha. Although I could do without the dust, I like the perfect warm days ahead. We have mostly dry heat and our elevation keeps it from getting too hot, so around 80-85 with a gentle breeze sounds perfect to me. Also, definitely prefer dress weather

How are you feeling?: really great! This is so far the best pregnancy I’ve had and I’m so thankful! I’m also in the fun part of pregnancy where I’m not sick and exhausted all the time and I’m not huge and achy yet.

i love everything except never-ending winter (looking at you northern norway👀😂) i like snow but we live on the coast where it’s super unstable weather and windy so on top of all the wind we get lots of ice😵💫 i do like each season when it comes though. Each has its charm!
Also apologies for being so MIA lately. Life has been zooming by and all of a sudden i realize another week has gone by without logging on here.

How are you feeling?: pretty good, minus the afternoon fatigue of adjusting to being back at work. I also need to get used to the baby’s nighttime dance parties, because I keep waking up to her wiggling away.
My coworker is 7 weeks ahead of me with her pregnancy. It’s been so fun having someone around at work who gets it and we can commiserate and laugh about symptoms or our never ending stash of snacks in our work bags.

We are getting ready to start the absolute best part of the year here in Michigan! There is nothing better than Fall in this state! The weather is beautiful with most days running lows and highs of 50s/70s with a light breeze and sunny weather. The trees all change to their fall colors, the apple orchards and cider mills all open, and there are events everywhere from Harvest Festivals, to farmer’s markets, street fairs, the Ren Fest, and tons of Halloween themed activities!
@fk18 I know I lost weight during my first trimester. Not enough for concern though. But I have noticed the last 2 weeks I have been able to eat more so hopefully I'm back on track. I have an appointment Friday so I should find out. I haven't been tracking my weight at home.
GTKY: Favorite weather: for the summer I love a cold rainy day. For my favorite season I'd definitely have to say fall. I love fall, the bright beautiful colors and the crisp air. I also love fall activities. I'm obsessed with my local pumpkin patch, plus they have the greatest pumpkin pie milkshake

How are you feeling?: Physically and energy-wise, good! I've started exercising again FINALLY which feels fantastic. Emotionally, basically everything makes me cry - I didn't experience this earlier in pregnancy but it's hit hard in the past few weeks. Also, pregnancy brain has kicked in so I'm constantly forgetting what I'm doing and bumping into things. It's like my brain can only focus on one thing at time. I feel like I'm not firing on all cylinders (and work has gotten particularly stressful recently so this is not ideal).
GTKY: What’s your favorite kind of weather? This is location-dependent for me! I grew up in the Northeast, and there, it's absolutely fall. The changing leaves, apples, smell of the air, wearing sweaters - I love it all so much. In Colorado, though, it's late spring when everything is finally blooming and, because of the rain and melting snow, it's all so green.
@fk18 On the scale, I feel like I've already gained more than enough, but I suspect that I started at a higher weight than my "usual" due to other health things that I had going on during conception and the first trimester. I feel fine, and I expect my doctor to mention it if I gain too quickly. I think it never hurts to ask your doc about things, but I would also trust that they'll tell you if you need to gain more.
