Re: Due Date Check-In 12/9-12/16
1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
17+1. Baby is the size of a pomegranate (5.1", almost 6oz)
2. How are you feeling?
Large and in charge, holy cow. I feel like my belly is way bigger than it should be. Dr. says I'm right where she wants to see me for weight gain, so it's not like I've been packing on the pounds, but damn, my abs must be shot or something.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
Dear Diary. If my children could agree on SOMETHING, could it just be whether they want to find out the sex of the baby? DS thinks it's a boy. DD now wants it to be a boy, after I pointed out that she would be the only girl and get her own room. But DS wants it to be a surprise and DD wants to find out yesterday, and one of these kids is going to be disappointed.

The closest one I can figure is the crunchy mom. We use CDs mostly, both of my previous labors were med-free, and I vacillate between vegetarian, vegan, and give me a damn cheeseburger stat. IDK it's hard because I obviously know myself well enough to know that I don't fit into that stereotype very well, but I have no idea what a better one would be.
1. How far along are you? How big is baby? 16w6d, avocado or can of coke. But tomorrow that changes to pomegranate-sized/large order of fries. Num num num.
2. How are you feeling? A-okay. Ready to start really feeling some movements.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary? Dear Diary, I'm looking forward to my OB appointment today, even if it is going to be a boring 5-minute deal. I'm secretly hoping they'll whip out the ultrasound machine and decide to do my anatomy scan on the spot. Ha. Ha ha.
4 GTKY: What’s one stereotype you feel you fit into? Eh. Sort of the crunchy mom, but not really. Sort of the absentminded writerly type also. Millennial?

@PensiveCrayon Eeeee! I’m excited for your appointment today!
1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
16+6 - Delicious avocado baby
2. How are you feeling?
Good! Woke up today feeling heavier in the uterus than yesterday. Maybe I am extra-feeling it because my current computer chair is a camping chair so my knees are higher than my hips...or LO is ready to be visible.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
Dear Diary, last week I bought more maternity tank tops from Old Navy (because we didn't pack enough clothes to be living out of suitcases this long), plus a nice shirt for DH. Mail came in today, and I was happy that I could have a second or third undershirt again - but no, it was DH's shirt. Damn. Echo is dissapoint.
4 GTKY: What’s one stereotype you feel you fit into?
I don't fit into one as easily as I used to. My hair and tattoos usually label me as Aging Punk, but my preferred amenities and clothes allow Military Wife to fit comfortably...however my long standing love of learning + books and dislike of TV drama have labeled me as a Nerd for a looooong time. Nerdy-Punk-MilSpouse

1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
16w6d, as big as a taco!
2. How are you feeling?
Not too bad, constant headaches and almost always hungry though.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
If I could just skip ahead to next Friday for my next appointment that would be great! Between my regular OB and my high risk OB, this is the longest stretch of time I've gone without an appt! And the high risk OB doesn't check baby at all, but it still feels weird. I'd like to hear the heart again though, so next Friday needs to get here!!

I guess millennial? I saw someone else mention that, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of one honestly. Unless lazy counts? Lol
DS2 due 12/12/18
1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
16+5, Avocado!
2. How are you feeling?
Pretty good. I still get sleepy in the afternoons, but not nearly as bad as it was a couple of weeks ago.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
We would normally go to Bend or something, but being mid-week, it's to hard to go anywhere, and I am hoarding my PTO right now. So lazy day at home, it is.
Just rants! The 4th of July is usually one of my favorite holidays, but I don't get to do anything this year
4 GTKY: What’s one stereotype you feel you fit into? (Stolen shamelessly from that list someone posted weeks ago).
Oh jeeze. What do you call someone who wears a lot of black (not like in a goth way), swears too much, and is obsessed with her dog? That's me, whatever that is
ETA I asked him about a stereotype for me
DS2 due 12/12/18
1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
16w2d Big as a light bulb
2. How are you feeling?
Still feeling good. I’m actually sleeping better the past few days than I have inweeks, so that’s nice. Only one or two wake ups a night whuch is amazing for me lately.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
My rave is that my house is full of boxes and is almost packed. Next up is much cleaning! Some day we’ll be ready to sell.

I probably fit most into a suburban mom “basic” type stereotype at the moment as terrible as that sounds. I’ve embraced it. I like Starbucks, target and wine. I’m not obsessed with any of them but they’re all pretty good. Other than that I’ve really got nothing. Although @CecilB93 I can’t say I’ve ever owned a real pair of uggs so I have that going for me! Lol
1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
16+6 (avocado!) But, tomorrow it'll be 17 weeks and a turnip!
2. How are you feeling?
Constipated. Ready for the Colace to work. TMI? haha
3. Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
I went to a fourth of July parade on Saturday and nearly fainted and/or puked from the heat... We've had a "heat wave" the last several days in New England. It's becoming unbearable. I'm glad that I have air conditioning(though it has not been working well today). But, I'm sad because I'm missing other fourth of July events because I'm so sensitive to the heat... Missing a BBQ with my friends tomorrow and missed a parade this evening. I'm staying in my AC and hoping it doesn't break... currently watching fireworks on TV. It's definitely not the same. I will likely venture out tomorrow night to see some in real life. I know it's better to stay cool and comfy than going out in this heat now that I know how I can react to it. (Yes, I was well-hydrated, but apparently not enough!)
4 GTKY: What’s one stereotype you feel you fit into? (Stolen shamelessly from that list someone posted weeks ago).
Mostly nerd... but, I can fit into others.
@rosebud332 - good luck selling your house!
2. Hot, uncomfortable, and starving, lol.
3: Rant: the heat is affecting the MILS brain injury and my husband has been poking the bear all week so she finally went off. Wouldn't be so bad except HE told the kids grandma didn't want them here. He still thinks his mom upset the kids...no, you upset them you jerk.
4. Homeschool mom?? Denim skirts and double strollers and all....once I have the van it'll be pretty set.
1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
16+6 taco sized!
2. How are you feeling?
Great, like I'm not even preg, just a little chubby. Some movement would be reassuring!
3. Rants/Raves/Questions/Dear Diary?
I've been with my family since Friday and it is a lot. Very nice, but a lot. Ready to go home tomorrow
4 GTKY: What’s one stereotype you feel you fit into? (Stolen shamelessly from that list someone posted weeks ago).
i have no clue. I'm gonna go with adventure mom. I don't know if that's a real one, but more of a 'yes go climb that tree' kind of thing.
