    GTKY: what are you most looking forward to about having the baby in summertime?

    When we were first TTC, we figured we'd take a break around the months that would result in a summer baby so I wouldn't have to be big and pregnant in the heat of summer. But TTC for 18 months made that plan go out the window, and I'm happy we didn't wait! I am looking forward to taking walks outside on maternity leave, hiking with baby in a carrier, and just being able to be outside without baby needing to be super bundled up! I have heard from friends who had maternity leave in colder months that they went a little stir crazy because leaving the house was such an effort they wouldn't do it often. Summertime means baby wearing and a diaper bag and you're good to go! No snowsuits required :smiley:

    GTKY: What are you most looking forward to with a summer baby?

    Outdoor birthday parties. My son's birthday is in December, so it's challenging to plan a party for an active mid.

    I also look forward to hikes with baby in a carrier.

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Sweet pea :)

    How big is baby? Size of a pea!

    Rants, raves, symptoms? Nausea and trouble sleeping since before bfp. An at 5 weeks fatigue set in. I can't go out for more than a couple hours, and need a nap when I get home. And sore breasts.

    What are you looking forward to about having a baby in the summertime? Not having to worry about getting my kids to school on time those first few sleepless weeks. We also have a pool in our backyard, so I can spend the end of my pregnancy cooling off while the kids have fun. Pool will also be fun for birthday parties too. Looking forward to walking my kids to school and getting out with baby.

  • How many weeks? 5w6d

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? sweet pea (almost)

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Tired, sore boobs. When exercising any running/jumping etc did not feel great for the sisters this morning, even with the extra supportive sports bra - oh well :). Otherwise feeling good.
    Wondering why it seems like I am the only person here who has not done any blood work. just BFP for POAS. First appt 12/22 - anxiously awaiting that :)
    Excited to finally tell people on Christmas to have more people to talk about things with - especially my sister.

    To be honest, I'm not really sure. walks while it is still warm. I'm sure I will be happy to deliver after being super prego for a good part of the summer. 

    Not sure I attached the ticker correctly.

  • I'm lurking since I don't start a new week until tomorrow, but @AL_TwinCities what app or book said a tic-tac? That is so much more fun than a blueberry!

    Baby sizer! They have several settings: cravings, geeky and manly. I like this to supplement the apps I'm using!

  • @cgondek1 I usually don't have blood work early, either. I had it early this time because of a recent chemical pregnancy.

    I'm soooo excited to have another summer baby! Our DD is a June baby and I loved being on maternity leave in the summer and being able to take her for a walk every single day and enjoy the weather (hard to do a lot of time during the year in the Midwest) ....so we are thrilled to have an end of summer baby to enjoy the nice weather and still have 2 summer babies one early summer and 1 late summer :smile:
