Baby is the size of a(n): sweet Georgia peach, or a mini cactus (thanks millennials)
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team Pink
Upcoming Appointments: 4/19 for follow up with doppler
How are you feeling?: Feeling a lot less nauseas but still so bloated. This last week my back has been really screwed up from the relaxin. Sleeping with a pillow between my legs is starting to make our feel better tho.
Rants/Raves: Rant: SO has been super cranky this week as he's starting to stress over being the sole provider. Between that and all the things that have to be done around our house I sometimes think his head will explode. He doesn't know how to pace himself so all he can see is that everything had to be done right this instant. Rave: my DS without any provoking has been feeding his dolls the last of his bottles. I don't know quite where he picked it up or if it's just instinctual, but this kid is so full of empathy and kindness I could just overflow with gooey adoration.
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Interestingly I think I just found it today. I've been playing with some of the ideas that we've tossed around for me to do while being a SAHM and one of which is hitting up garage and estate sales and reselling items. I've been looking for a niche, and today I just placed about $50 in bids on figurines. Eek! But it gave me such a thrill, I can't wait to see how the bidding ends up.

Upcoming Appointments:
Next one in 2 weeks at 16w-ish
How are you feeling?:
Ok. The nausea is gone but I'm still super exhausted. I'm peeing hourly and having daily headaches. Woot, LOL.
Rants/Raves:
Rant: I babysat my niece and nephew this weekend and caught their horrible cold. I feel miserable and I'm so cranky about it. Uggghhh
Rave: I'm officially officially in 2nd trimester no matter how you count! Woot!! 🎉🎉
Questions:
Has anyone started a registry? I think I might start one soon 🙊
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month?
Root beer floats! 🍻
@galentine I started one over the weekend. I lie about my EDD to get the coupons earlier, though 😂

@cmbt2 Sorry you’re still so sick. I’m glad the zofran helps though.
@cooaladolly Your DS sounds so sweet 😊
@galentine Sorry you have a cold. Have you tried a neti pot yet? They’re a little weird to get used to but can help a lot.
compile them all for you

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out any day now!
Upcoming Appointments: not until May.
How are you feeling?: still so nauseous. Yesterday I hit a new vomiting record. Yay?
Rants/Raves: Rant: Last night was an emotional low for me. I was just so sick and after 3 weeks of throwing up almost every day with no end in sight, I just felt so defeated.
Rave: the weather is finally so gorgeous here! We spent most of the weekend outside.
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month?
Apparently dairy is the theme for me: cheese, ice cream, and milkshakes.
@cooaladolly, good luck with your new reselling venture.
@cmbt2, I debated lying about my EDD too, but I didn't. I think I can change it at any time though. How much earlier did you make your EDD?
@greenbean-2, EEK, so exciting you are finding out any day now! I can't wait for your update!!
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
BFP #2 5/4/14, EDD 1/15/15, DS1 1/19/15
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
@cmbt2 do you make the registries on the separate sites and then tell that to baby list? Or make them all through baby list?
@cmbt2 Not sure if I'm a bow fan either. But yay for team pink!
@cooaladolly Hello due date buddy
@galentine WOO-HOO to 2nd trimester! Also, I have not started an "official" registry yet since we still need to find out the sex. But I've started a private Amazon list with the items that I know I will need (new travel system) and also that I didn't get with DS but really want (NoseFrida).
@greenbean-2 YES TO DAIRY!!
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 10/14 - 13 weeks
Baby is the size of a(n): lemon or arc reactor (for my Marvel nerds)
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM (DS is 4.5)
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out (hopefully this weekend)
Upcoming Appointments: not until 5/01
How are you feeling?: Still the same. Tired, a little bloated and "fat", slightly nauseous, and tender chested.
Rants/Raves: Yay for almost being in the second trimester. Can't wait to find out my NIPT results. Our little reveal party is tentatively planned for Saturday (as long as we get the results by Friday). I ordered one blue confetti cannon and one pink so we are prepared for either.
Questions: nope
GTKY: Naps!!

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green:
Finding out...
Upcoming Appointments:
Tomorrow! 12 week check-in. Looking forward to seeing growth!
How are you feeling?:
Still tired, still vomiting about every other morning. Boobs are sore. Ugh.
Rants/Raves:
Rave: It's SPRING BREAK!!!
Rant: I have a lot on my "honey-do" list now that I don't have to go to work for a week...
Questions:
Hmmm.... not right now.
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month?
Naps. Saturday, I basically slept all day. And, probably watching too much TV/Netflix...
Baby is the size of a(n): lemon or peach maybe? TB app had a pic up of a lemon last week and a peach this week, but the info video says it's only a lemon right now *le confused
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Green~
Upcoming Appointments: May 1
How are you feeling?: Pretty alright, but what's strange is that now that I'm in the second trimester I'm feeling more nauseous and tired than I did before (which wasn't existent)....that's disappointing
Rants/Raves: Why are there so many types and brands and everything for every possible baby item?! I went half mad this past Saturday because I thought I could just casually start an Amazon registry, but found my neurotic self hours later digging back out of the rabbit hole and unsure of everything I chose
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Bagels!! Ugh, they're so good but loaded with so many days worth of carbs
@cmbt2 Oh yes I loved Umbrella Academy too, it reminded me of this British show called Misfits (which if you haven't seen then I highly recommend, it has Klaus in it and he still is the star of the show)
@cooaladolly haha, good luck with the bidding
@galentine I love the troll doll equivalent..I should just start looking at your posts before saying what boring fruit mine is that week. Sorry about the cold
Also, I started our registry already because I couldn't help myself (see my rant above)
@greenbean-2 aww, sorry to hear that you've been sick
@stephanie123456 good luck with the gender reveal, hopefully those results come in time
Baby is the size of a(n): lime
FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out ASAP
Upcoming Appointments: April 24th for NIPT
How are you feeling?: nausea is tempering thankfully! Lots of new symptoms though: huge boobs, weird dreams, peeing constantly, etc.
Rants/Raves:
Rant- Although I am getting closer to being done with foster classes we still have three more, including tonight. They are from 6pm-9pm every Monday and that is just far too late for my pregnant ass.
Rave- it was a BEAUTIFUL weekend and we spent a good deal of time on a hike with the kids which was so nice! Also, we had our second home visit for fostering and it went really well. We are getting so much closer to being done!
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Ice cream. I have some form of it most days. Oops.
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: Oct 25/ 11+3
Baby is the size of a(n): no clue
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team Green! We got NIPT results back & all low-risk, but keeping the sex a surprise.
Upcoming Appointments: Tomorrow with my MFM... I see him every 4 weeks. Then April 23 for NT scan.
How are you feeling?: still super nauseous. It's like the Bonjesta just quit working! Counting down till 2nd tri. Also weird tailbone pain?
Rants/Raves: none right now
Questions: none right now
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? I only like cheese and carbs right now.
TTC #2: October 2018, BFP 02/02/19, EDD 10/14/19
@marbellie Check out Baby Bargains. It’s a website and a book. They’ve never steered me wrong with brand recommendations.
Baby is the size of a(n): lime? Oh, a poker chip!
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Green, though DH really wants to know, so I've wavered a bit (he doesn't know this, but he's breaking me a little)
Upcoming Appointments: I had one today! I was nervous last week and went a little silent on here, but I had a full annual exam - not fun, but I guess I was due? - and they found the heartbeat with the doppler. 150-156 bpm. DH immediately grabbed my hand when he heard it (I was attempting to stay covered by the thin robe I was wearing from the exam). It was adorable and all I could do was giggle at how strange this all is.
How are you feeling?: The nausea is a 1/10 today, but I'm not going to say it's gone just yet as I did that before and it came back. Fingers crossed it's on its way out! Exhaustion is hitting me like a ton of bricks these past couple of days, and my tailbone hurts, which isn't fun.
Rants/Raves: I need to be more active, which I guess is a rant at myself. The nausea was debilitating at times and I just kind of took to bed. I'm raving about this beautiful weather, though. That's definitely going to help!
Questions: None at the moment, actually, because a lot of them were answered by this thread.
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? I can't say I actually have one right now, which isn't like me. Maybe my several-times-a-week milkshake? They seem to really settle my nausea. Dairy overall seems to help me too, @greenbean-2.
Baby is the size of a(n): peach! 🍑
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team Pink!
Upcoming Appointments: 16 week appointment is April 25th
How are you feeling?: Pretty ordinary. I have no complaints. Is impatience a symptom? I can’t wait to feel some flutters!
Rants/Raves: I have one more week of school before my school’s April vacation, but it’s a standardized testing week. I just hate the mindlessness of proctoring. Really just hoping it flies by. On a positive note, I announced to my principal and he was super supportive and kind. Now, to wait for my husband to finish drawing our announcement so that we can be officially out on social media. This lie of omission is getting old.
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Call the Midwife. The storylines are getting super repetitive, and DH calls it a soap opera, but whatever, it’s comforting. 🤷🏻♀️
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: Oct 3rd

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out, hope to know soon.
Upcoming Appointments: April 22nd
How are you feeling?: Just tired, and nervous about my NIPT results.
Rants/Raves: Rave- So we found $5 movie tickets for Captain Marvel this past Saturday. The theatre itself is awesome, comfy, and $5?! I told hubby were going here all the time for our movies lol. Rant- I REALLY want a nap….thank god I leave work in 15 minutes lol.
Questions: too many to count right now….
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Being a couch potato, its my guilty pleasure all the time.
Baby is the size of a(n): "Large" lemon, apparently? But also a troll doll which is awesome (thanks Galentine!)
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team Pink!
Upcoming Appointments: Nada til 4/19
How are you feeling?: Pretty good - nausea is finally better and my energy levels are up. But the headaches are starting and they are real. Going to try some of the remedies I've seen in the symptoms thread to see if anything helps.
Rants/Raves: Short rant: There are many, many stupid people at my work. And they are all irritating me lately (mayyyybe it's the hormones?) Also, I have to travel the next three weeks straight and am so not excited about it.
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Ice cream! I haven't craved sweets at all so far until a few days ago when suddenly ice cream started sounding like the best thing ever. I've had it before bed the last four nights straight. This could be a problem....
ETA for terrible grammar to change to slightly less terrible grammar.
Baby is the size of a(n): lime
FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out
Upcoming Appointments: had our first ultrasound appt today and everything looks good! Such a relief to hear the heartbeat! Also did my blood draw for NIPT today. I’ll be impatiently waiting for those results.
How are you feeling?: overall I’m feeling well! No puking just waves of nausea here and there, but not impacting everyday life. Counting the days until second tri.
Rants/Raves: rave: the weather is AMAZING. We were outside the whole weekend and it was so nice to grill. 😍
Questions: n/a
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? It will probably be Game of Thrones 🥰

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Green, I think!
Upcoming Appointments: May 9
How are you feeling?: Pretty good as long as I get enough sleep and don’t let myself get too hungry.
Rants/Raves: Rave - we just booked next week off of work to relax. The last couple of months have been incredibly stressful so we are taking an impromptu staycation. Rant - I need to spend part of that week studying for my upcoming tax exam.
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Binge watching Riverdale and going to bed obscenely early. Saying yes to dessert far too often 😬
Baby is the size of a(n): Lemon?
FTM/STM/TTM+:FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding our (still bummed our first trimester screening blood test doesn’t tell us!)
Upcoming Appointments: Thursday! We had first trimester screening last Friday. I’m loving all these chances to see/hear baby!
How are you feeling?: Eh. Definitely still tired but the quesiness has toned down a bit.
Rants/Raves: Rant: Almost everyday after work I start gagging on my way out of our parking ramp. I was thinking it was because I usually don’t eat an afternoon snack. After eating a snack for about a week, I’m starting to wonder if it is motion sickness! I love amusement park rides and used to do tumbling until I graduated from high school. I would have never guessed I could get motion sickness!
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Procrastination! I’ve got a huge test at the end of the month and I’ve gotten so good at finding other things to do besides study
I'm 14+1 wks
Baby is the size of a(n): lemon & as long as a playing card
FTM/STM/TTM+: Not sure what this means...
Team: PINK!
Upcoming Appointments: Check up tomorrow, cant wait to hear heartbeat.
How are you feeling?: sinus issues but perfect otherwise
Rants/Raves: none
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month: I dont eat any flour or sugar. I am loving asparagus, and I like sugar free peanut butter w apples.
Baby is the size of a(n): lemon? I think?

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green:Blue!
Upcoming Appointments: April 17th
How are you feeling?: Insomnia, but otherwise fine. If you don't count me getting out of breath after climbing like 3 stairs.
Rants/Raves: Rant: on vacation the week after Easter. CANNOT WAIT. So over my job right now. Rave: Our garage looks amazing and the yard is coming along nicely.

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Green
Upcoming Appointments: in a couple of weeks
How are you feeling?: Pretty great finally. Night nausea is still hanging around but my energy is back and I feel human again.
Rants/Raves:
Questions: nope- just wanted to say hi 👋 to all! I started here early in my pregnancy but once I had unexplained bleeding (which I never had with my other 2) , I kind of pushed baby thinking away for several weeks. Now that it’s over and all is good, I’m looking forward to the next 6 months!
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month?
I look forward to the end of the day when both my boys are asleep (and husband) and I have the couch to myself, nobody to bother me and my shows to watch. Not really a guilty pleasure but part of the day I look forward to most 🤣
Baby is the size of a(n): A reese's PB cup mmmmm
FTM/STM/TTM+: TTishM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Will find out at AS
Upcoming Appointments: Had my 12wk appt today. Everything is perfect, babys HR was 165
How are you feeling?: Physically okay. Tired and hungry. Mentally/emotionally I'm doing really good.
Rants/Raves: A successful 12wk appt was the last box to check in order for me to pass all my loss milestones. It's happened. I feel like a big weight has been lifted. I am sure I will still have anxiety until I can feel baby consistently but we have the home doppler. We were able to find the HR Sat night so I think that will help me get through these next couple weeks. Things are also coming together for our FB announcement pic, just working on pinning the proper wording down.
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Well right now it's the chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting I made Sunday.
