Ping pong ball

Food you're craving/avoiding?
I’ve been craving fruit this week, mostly apples and oranges. Avoiding sweets because it seems like everything tastes sweeter than it should. I hope this improves before Thanksgiving 

What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)?
All 3 of us are getting over a seasonal cold. Between blowing my nose and chasing DD around with a Kleenex I’m ready for it to be over!

Questions?
As I mentioned in another thread I will be done with my progesterone supplements Sunday (12 weeks). Looking for any reassurance that yes my placenta will take over producing that like it’s supposed to!

I honestly haven't checked any other sites! So Lime is as creative as it gets! 

Food you're craving/avoiding?
I should be avoiding anything with dairy & tomato sauce.. but I'm being stubborn. Both give me awful reflux/heartburn. Ive been loving cold fruit & veggies! So far this pregnancy is very similar to my pregnancy with DD, only I craved fruit & veggies much later on.

What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)?
We are slowly finishing up a bathroom renovation and I am so ready to have a clean house again! 

Questions?

None 

GTKY: What is your SO's favorite thing about you? 
I think he would say my heart and compassion towards others.

I really love the little hamster that ovia suggested. I spent way to long looking at gifs for that lol

Food you're craving/avoiding?
craving:none avoiding: all lol
I take that back, I'm hoping thanksgiving tastes amazing.

What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)?
I'm just over here wondering how much hair I'll lose with 2 little boys if this one is like his big bro lol. But I'm excited I get to reuse ALL clothes.... they're opposite seasons but DS was really big so it could work out. I want to start going through stuff now and maybe weed some out and hand some down to my niece who is due with a boy after Xmas.
we also have family Xmas pics Sunday!

Questions?
STMs, my son was due in oct. Did anyone have a baby around may/June already? Do we need long pants/long sleeves etc? I feel silly asking. But I reeeally do want to weed out what we don't actually need.

GTKY: What is your SO's favorite thing about you? 
probably all about caring for our son. Our son has had a lot of different therapies, evals, apts over the yrs. and Dh works so much that he misses a lot of it. So I'd say it's that.

@catlady1215 are you asking if we need long pants / long sleeves or if the LOs need long pants / long sleeves?  We do.  I know May can still be cold here, so I would assume long sleeved onesies / sleepers might still be worn at the beginning of June (so NB and 0-3 probably).  It starts getting cold for us in October, so that would still be 3-6 month clothing depending on the LOs size.  

What's the most creative size for baby you've seen for baby this week? Roborovski Hamster.  

Food you're craving/avoiding? Avoiding all roasted vegetables, beans and coffee.  Last night I ate mac and cheese (from a box) and chicken nuggets. I have the same diet as my 2 year old.

What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)?  I had my 12 week appointment on Wednesday and my blood drawn today for Panorama.  Now begins the waiting game for the results.  I'm tired.  Nausea was back this morning.  I'm ready for Thanksgiving just to have a bit of a break from work.

Questions? 

GTKY: What is your SO's favorite thing about you? I have no idea. Is that sad?

@catlady1215 DS is a June baby and if I didn’t live on the sun, he would have needed long sleeves/pants. He was in 6m stuff by Christmas. 

@marcus7676 I don’t know what DH would say either. 

The size of a profiterole. 

Ive really wanted Taco Bell this week. I’ve been trying to be smarter about spending money, so I have indulged yet. But my mom watches the kids today, so today may be the day. 

NT scan/12w appt on Monday. My stomach has just been sore the past few days. I’m trying to up my water intake because I’ve been seriously slacking lately.

@catlady1215 not really sure what you are asking... clothing will be different depending on location (I'm in the Philly suburbs and am expecting June-September to be hot... with October being hot one day and freezing the next.  With that said... my DH keeps the AC on full blast in the summer so I end up in hoodies and fuzzy socks.  I'm probably gonna keep all the sleepers long sleeved and keep a few long sleeved onsies (espeically the ones with the fold over hands to prevent scratching) What I can say with 100% certainty is the WE (the pregnant ladies) will need a pregnancy winter coat... since we will be expanding during the winter months... so keep that in mind if you are coat shopping soon.

What's the most creative size for baby you've seen for baby this week?
I don't even really know anymore... I think I'm 11 weeks which is a lego man.

Food you're craving/avoiding?
I'm avoiding all foods.  I was sick last weekend and just don't trust anything.  I'm 90% better (still have some nausea from the MS so can't say 100%) but I am still so scared to eat... BRATS diet for a little while longer.

What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)?
My dr called last night with my test results.  I am already positive for Group B- which I had with my DD- and am being prescribed an antibiotic.  I have to take it 4 times a day for 7 days.... praying my MS continues to decrease next week.  

I have my NT scan on Wednesday followed by my 12 week dr appointment and genetic testing.  I'm so excited to 1) see the little bean again 2) find out if it's healthy and a boy or girl!

Questions?

GTKY: What is your SO's favorite thing about you?   
All of your SOs sound so sweet.... meanwhile, my DH's favorite thing about me is probably boobs and ass... and he is a big fan of how large they get during pregnancy.  Sense of humor comes in at 3rd probably.

Amphibious22

@catlady1215 I agree with previous posters, it really depends on where you live. I'm in southern california and DH and I are considering moving closer to his family in Phoenix, so long sleeve anything isn't really high on our list. 

What's the most creative size for baby you've seen for baby this week?
I'm a pretty big fan of the donut hole. It just makes me want donut holes and I'm kinda okay with that. I'll be honest, the whole week it was a tater tot, I had tater tots like every night. 

Food you're craving/avoiding?
I've definitely been craving carbs (as I'm currently stuffing my face with a bagel..) and as much as I hate it, I can't seem to stomach red meat anymore. I keep trying, but then after a bite or two, I'm just over it. 

What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)?
Nothing this week, but my 12 week appt is on Monday! Also I'm sorry for not really being on here much anymore. Work has been killing me slowly. 

Questions? nothing

GTKY: What is your SO's favorite thing about you? 
I'm with @jsl82. As much as I wish he'd say something like my positive attitude, I know if I woke him up and asked him he would 100% say my ass. 

catlady1215

I guess I should have clarified. i want to go through clothes in stages. So, I'm thinking clothes for the beginning newborn/0-3 months. thin long sleeve onsies/pants, i'll keep around for chilly nights. but like thicker sweat pants/thicker hoodie sets etc, I could probably get rid of right? if this is stuff I won't need, I'd just really like to pass it on to my niece cause she could really use it. especially cause most will be like new! we barely left the house at first with him.

with ds being 5, I feel like I forget how to dress a newborn for the weather lol. oh and I should add we don't have AC... but that's late summer. I'm west Pennsylvania, so it won't be hot in june. but it won't be 50 degrees either.

@jsl82 I've been thinking about that. I've only been buttoning the top button on my coat cause I really don't like the feel of a tight coat on my pudge. I need to get a new one soon but not sure how big to go lol.

Re: winter coats, I just ordered the Make My Belly Fit coat expander. It hasn’t arrived yet but I’ll let you know how I like it. Def cheaper than buying another super warm coat but not entirely inexpensive either. 

doxiemoxie212

What's the most creative size for baby you've seen for baby this week? yea I guess the hamster 

Food you're craving/avoiding?  nothing really. Some things smell bad tho, like ugh hot sauce. 

What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)? really hoping I get the mat21 results today since today marks 10 business days. NT scan next week. Also getting the flu shot next week. 

Questions?  so what’s the deal with bringing newborns on planes?

GTKY: What is your SO's favorite thing about you?  almost certainly my cooking skills 

jsl82

DD was born in December- so I needed a pregnancy winter coat for like 2 months last year- so I'm oddly happy about needing it again this year.

But I had reached out to other BTDT winter baby moms for their input on the coat situation last year, and the general agreement was wrap coats and the way to go.  Most of the wrap coats are large enough to accommodate the growth but can be wrapped tighter for post pregnancy wear.

What's the most creative size for baby you've seen for baby this week?
A Satsuma fruit. (apparently it's like a mandarin) 

Food you're craving/avoiding?
Still not crazy about bread, chicken and fried food. Really enjoying salads, cold fruit, yogurt, fish and dreaming about a bag of potato chips. 

What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)?
My symptoms are huge boobs, nipples are still sensitive, nausea has basically gone completely away! Woo hoo! I can't lay down on my back and laugh or sneeze without sharp pain on sides of where I think my uterus is located. Bloated still here. I still look like I've just been eating too much, no cute bump at all yet.

Questions?nope 

GTKY: What is your SO's favorite thing about you? I think he likes that I can cook and don't give up on my kids and that I was willing to follow him to Panama and start our adventure with him. 

Dashaina

@jsl82 yep, mine too... If it's body parts he'd say my boobs. Lol

What's the most creative size for baby you've seen for baby this week? Flan

Food you're craving/avoiding?
I cannot get enough mashed potatoes w/ gravy, Castra...whatever they are olives, and anything mexican
What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)?

just had 11/12 week appt. Got to see our little alien. Baby is doing great and all my tests came back good.
I think I'm fighting some kind of sickness but with the exhaustion plus Nausea all the time it's hard to tell after being on my feet with 12 one year olds all day. 
I think nausea is getting better which is amazing bc I was sick my entire pregnancy with my DD. 

Questions?

Can you get a new breast pump with each pregnancy? I have new insurance but wasn't sure if that was something that was tracked. I really want the spectra upgrade with the battery pack . 

GTKY: What is your SO's favorite thing about you?
 Probably something sexual but there is nothing going on right now which he is constantly reminding me of so hmmm...lol
