1) How far along are you? 21 weeks, pomegranate

2) Symptoms? Have they gone away? Reared their ugly heads again? Gotten worse? Hip, knee, and feet pain. Hand numbness & aches. Constipation is persistent

3) Appointments coming up? Do you know what team you are on yet? Next appointment is Nov 14 - my 40th birthday! We are team girl.

4) Anything to vent/report/brag about this week? My SO is a go-with-the-flow kind of person & father, which can be a true gift at times, but when it comes to preparing, planning ahead, or saving money, it means that he is unconcerned and believes thing will just "work out." That kind of approach freaks me out and gets the anxiety flowing.

5) GTKY: Do you hope your LO will carry a specific trait from you or your SO? Hope she gets his easy-going disposition & calmness, and my work-ethic & attention to things/others. I'd like her to get his blue eyes too (I've never loved my brown eyes).

We spent 3 hours completing our baby registry yesterday!! It was so fun and I'm in love with everything we picked out!!

I hope that she will have my SOs strength (he is 6'11 300lbs and literally has the strength of the hulk) I want her to be able to take care of herself and defend herself if need be.

csuperstar02

Holy big boy @coleybug13‌ I have a huge H too. Thankfully he was a little baby and scrawny kid otherwise I'd be worried about two of him growing in there!

1) How far along are you? 19 weeks/mango

2) Symptoms? Hip pain, rlp has been rough, gas is back. I guess it's just stretching and moving of stuff in there but holy hell it was uncomfortable!

3) Appointments? Do you know what team? Next appt is Nov 14. Team Double blue

4) Anything to vent/report/brag about this week? Vent: Ready to feel them!!! Report/brag: We came out on Fb and Insta Friday. Was so scared (still am) but felt lots of love and prayers from friends and family. And I bought my mom-mobile yesterday. A Nissan Pathfinder platinum with all the bells and whistles I wanted!

5) GTKY: Do you hope your LO will carry a specific trait from you or your SO? Definitely hope they're athletic like their dad. My nose bc it's smaller than his, hahahaha.

4) Anything to vent/report/brag about this week? I've been feeling a little down. Hoping it's just wonky hormones that I can manage.

5) GTKY: Do you hope your LO will carry a specific trait from you or your SO? H wants her to golf like him which I pretend to not like but I think it would be awesome.

Good luck @coleybug13‌

Week- 21/pomegranate

Symptoms- LO doesn't like some fast food...probably not a bad thing but sometimes I just want some dern French fries! (MS comes on if I eat it!)...I have also been resolved to only sleeping in my left side, if I sleep in my right my arm goes to sleep bad

Appointments- not until the week of turkey day. Confirmed we are team pink this past Tuesday.

Anything else- @jnowosielski‌ my hormones have been up down and raging lately too...I hate it (normally an even keeled lady!)....I am picking up some DHA today, ob recommended to help me level out.

GTKY- DS has my light hair and DH's golden brown eyes. Though I know she'll be beautiful, I hope she'll have DHs dark hair and my light eyes! I am certain she will have our full lips like DS

orangesprinkles13

How far- 22 weeks papaya

Symptoms- heart burn... BLAH!!

Appointments- I have my high risk app. On the 4th and my regular OB on the 6th hopefully we will schedule the A/S then. I'm team BLUE!!

Brag- nothing really brag worthy! I am super excited for thanksgiving dinner though!

GTKY- I would love for this LO to get my husbands straight black hair. We already have a daughter that has my curly strawberry blonde hair.

1) How far along are you? 20 weeks/banana

2) Symptoms? Have they gone away? Reared their ugly heads again? Gotten worse? Getting some serious back pain already which I knew was going to be an issue. And just physically tired. I really didn't think that would hit for awhile yet!

3) Appointments coming up? Do you know what team you are on yet? No appointment until the 20th. Team Pink!

4) Anything to vent/report/brag about this week? DH is so wonderful. He has entirely taken over the household chores and the cooking (not that I did much of the cooking to begin with). And LO started moving around a LOT this week and you can really feel her from the outside. He is so sweet, talking to her all the time and laying with his head on my belly. It's adorable

5) GTKY: Do you hope your LO will carry a specific trait from you or your SO?I hope she has his sense of humor and artistic ability (he is so talented, I can't even draw a stick figure!). I hope she gets my brown hair and height and my sense of independence.

kellbell1982

1) How far along are you? 24 weeks!! Cantaloupe and viability week!!

2) Symptoms? Have they gone away? Reared their ugly heads again? Gotten worse? Ugh discharge that's all I'm going to say

3) Appointments coming up? Do you know what team you are on yet?
It's a girl
4) Anything to vent/report/brag about this week?

5) GTKY: Do you hope your LO will carry a specific trait from you or your SO? I hope she looks like him with my bangin hair and body;)

jordanbohr

1) How far along are you?
23 weeks

2) Symptoms? Have they gone away? Reared their ugly heads again? Gotten worse?
Heart burn, lower back pain and I'm tired all the time!

3) Appointments coming up? Do you know what team you are on yet?
We have a fetal echo this Wednesday to get a better look at the heart because of a medication I was on at the beginning of the pregnancy. We are having a boy!

4) Anything to vent/report/brag about this week?
The thing I'd like to vent about would take up too much space. Short story - unexpected house guest on a weekend we needed to do stuff because we're moving all the furniture out of the future nursery next weekend.

5) GTKY: Do you hope your LO will carry a specific trait from you or your SO?
I'd say my eyes and my husband's intelligence.

sunset30

1) How far along are you? 19 weeks, mango

2) Symptoms? Have they gone away? Reared their ugly heads again? Gotten worse? Worst symptom is lower back pain and hip pain. Its making sleeping quite difficult, and my bump is still pretty small. Very worried how I'll feel in a few weeks / months.

3) Appointments coming up? Do you know what team you are on yet? Not for another 2 weeks - I'm at the back of the March pack. Can't wait to find out. 

4) Anything to vent/report/brag about this week? Starting to feel the baby moving - very exciting! 

5) GTKY: Do you hope your LO will carry a specific trait from you or your SO? We're both pretty motivated and driven people, so I hope that the baby has a similar trait of pursuing its passion(s) and giving its best effort. 

coleybug13

@csuperstar02‌ mine was unfortunately a huge baby as was our DS so I'm scared!! the doctors are very concerned this baby will be equally as large if not bigger so they're keeping a close eye on size this time!!

@JeepersWife‌ Thanks! I'm gonna need it!

CrystalTrues

1) How far along are you? 22 weeks, papaya

2) Symptoms? Have they gone away? Reared their ugly heads again? Gotten worse? Shortness of breath is slightly more noticeable but still nbd. The sciatica however has gotten so much worse this week. I was expecting it to get worse since it was so bad with my last pregnancy.

3) Appointments coming up? Do you know what team you are on yet? no appointments this week, team blue.

4) Anything to vent/report/brag about this week? My whole house got cleaned and picked up this week, which I am very proud of. And Halloween was blast my little guy loved dressing up like Captain America!

5) GTKY: Do you hope your LO will carry a specific trait from you or your SO? Our first soon looks so much like DH that I am hoping this one looks a little more like me/my family.

Hope everyone is doing well! And that you all enjoyed your weekend.

@chaysefaith - I forgot to post my Sunday ticker change, forgot to buy avocados at the grocery store over the weekend, forgot my friend's kid's birthday but remembered that you passed your milestone!  So I came back to check and sure enough you have! Just wanted to say congrats and I'm thinking about you - in NOT a weird creepy internet way...

chaysefaith

@HallRents‌ thank you! It makes my heart all warm inside to know you were remembering me
