  1. 1) 14.5 weeks, second trimester.
    2) More of a belly, but it still disappears throughout the day, so no official bump yet :(
    3) I wear my maternity pants to work daily, but pre-preg jeans and all my pre-preg tops still.
    4) Yes, but running into difficulty with availability through my hospital network.
    5) No movement yet. Hoping by the end of the month I'll feel something.
    6) Team green!!

  2. 1. I move into my 13th week tomorrow, so depending on where you go I'm in the end of my 1st trimester or beginning of my 2nd trimester.
    2. M/S seems to still be hanging in by a thread. Nothing disappearing yet.
    3. Yes - JC Penney's, Old Navy and Motherhood. I tried on a pair of pants pre-pg and couldn't even reach the button - I'm around the same weight when I fit in them.
    4. Yes - but I need to look into them and start signing up. Not sure where to even look.
    5. I thought I did, but I'm not 100% sure.
    6. Team Green?? We'll have the big u/s in March, but we aren't findout the gender of the baby.
    7. Just saw this blog - love it! :)

  3. 1. What week/trimester are you in now? 13w4d – 2nd Tri FINALLY!
    2. Any new symptoms (or disappearing symptoms) this week? Nope my m/s had gotten better a few days last week but then decided it wasn’t going to play nice on Friday. It was an awful day and I haven’t felt very good since. So ready for this part to be over!
    3. Have you purchased any maternity clothes yet? Any lucky b*tches, excuse me...any "lucky ladies" :-) still fitting in their pre-pg clothes? LOL I am BUT only because I have lost 10 lbs due to m/s. So I wouldn’t consider myself “lucky” really : ). I would have rather gained 40 then be this sick!!
    4. Have you started thinking about any child birthing classes? Which ones are you taking?? None since this is my 2nd. But we are debating on taking DD to the sibling class my hospital offers.
    5. Have you felt any movement yet??? I think I did the other night. It was right in the same spot we heard the heartbeat last, just a few little thumps. I am not 100% certain but can’t wait until I can feel him/her every day. It’s so awesome.
    6. Have you scheduled the "Big" U/S?? Or are you going team Green!? We will schedule it after my next appointment on 1/29. I’m thinking it will be mid-February and I can’t wait to find out!!

    4. Have you started thinking about any child birthing classes? Which ones are you taking?? I'm thinking about taking a breastfeeding class.
    5. Have you felt any movement yet??? I'm pretty sure I've felt a few flutters here and there yesterday!
    6. Have you scheduled the "Big" U/S?? Or are you going team Green!? we have an u/s scheduled for 3 weeks from today, just to see how the twins are growing and I'm hoping to find out genders then. I will be `6 weeks.

    3. Have you purchased any maternity clothes yet? Any lucky b*tches, excuse me...any "lucky ladies" :-) still fitting in their pre-pg clothes? Yes, I'm still fitting into my pre-pg clothes.

    2. Not really, but m/s still coming and going. I didn't get it until 10.5w

    5. I don't think so, but I thought I felt flutters the other day

    4. We are scheduled for an all day Birthing Class at our hospital on May 1st!
    5. I thought I felt a few flutters and tap/taps but still not sure what it was. I am so looking forward to the real thing!
    6. Haven't scheduled it yet but aiming for Feb. 5th and the hospital has been great about scheduling it on dates/times that I want!
    7. Finding out the sex and then picking out furniture and nursery decorations, registering, it will make it all so much more real!

    2. my exhaustion is lessening, but I'm still constipated and congested; no new symptoms to report, thankfully
    3. bought my first pair of maternity jeans (for future use only, at this point) and my first bella bands this past weekend, though I only need the band with one pair of jeans-- all my other pre-PG clothes are getting snug, but still fit
    4. looking into Bradley, Hypnobabies and Hypnobirthing-- DH claims he's up to the task of labor coach, so we're leaning towards Bradley
