FTM/STM/TTM+: #3😂😍
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: green this round!!!💚 (Baby's colors are mint green and grey too!
Upcoming Appointments: April 17th😬
How are you feeling?: Up and down. We live in IL and the weather's doing it crazy thing. I was sick last week, puking and stuffy head/nose, coughing. This week I'm better! Tired from working overtime 😂
Rants/Raves: my family knows we're expecting. SO parents and 2nd oldest sister know. The youngest makes everything a competition for some stupid reason. (She has to "keep up with the Joneses 🙄) so we haven't told her or the oldest yet. We're gonna at Easter and he wants to make her mad and do some big thing. I just wanna say it at dinner 😂 he's all about throwing it in her face cause we're doing really good for the first time since weve been together and she and her husband aren't. (They're younger than me and had serious financial issues due to her spending last year) so we keep going round about it and I finally told him just to text her that would upset her more🙄 he thinks he's being funny and I think he's being dumb. Anyway that's my biggest rant right now. Sorry for the long drama 😂
Questions: how's everyone else doing???
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? I'm trying to give up caffeine and it's not working 😂😂
How are you feeling?: Pretty good, aside from the heartburn, which is surprising at this point. I always remember it being bad toward the middle and end. Never this early.
Rants/Raves: RANT: Our sex results are officially posted to my patient portal page and it's taking everything in me to restrain myself from looking before I'm home with DH. I totally want to find out with him, but I totally want to peak, too. Thanks for the encouragement @galentine
RAVE: Sex results are in!!!!!
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Since I can't drink a big ole' coffee anymore (just a baby one), I have started ordering iced chai lattes from the Starbucks mobile app and picking up on my way into the office. I can't stop now.
Upcoming Appointments: Tomorrow (4/10) to check in on my bloodwork results. I am just really excited to hear the HB on Doppler.
How are you feeling?: Still tired all the time. No motivation to work. Today was the first time in a while that I very nearly puked in the morning, so fun to see that surging back. Mentally good, just ready to move into 2nd tri and get closer to feeling baby move.
Rants/Raves: My administrator who does scheduling seems to be avoiding me. I just need to talk to him about planning my classes next year to allow for pumping! I am already anxious about this conversation, so him being elusive is just making is worse.
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Starburst jelly beans. Yum!
Upcoming Appointments: routine appt next Thursday. Also Waiting for H to get his blood drawn after my somewhat scary news of being a CF carrier.
How are you feeling?: feeling good!! SI joint pain mostly, but nausea is just about gone.
Rants/Raves: Raves: I still cannot believe we’re having a boy!! Rants: Not so much of a rant but just trying not to be too anxious about the CF results. I just want to be told that H is not a carrier and we don’t have to worry about it.
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Fruity gummies from Wegmans. I CANT STOP.
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: October 15 / 13 weeks today! Baby is the size of a(n): Lemon FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Blue! Upcoming Appointments: Apr 22 for regular OB check-in How are you feeling?: Fatigue is starting to wear off, thankfully, but boobs are still sore, nausea is still in full force, and dizziness started this week. All in all, not TOO bad. Rants/Raves: I rant about it every time, but... this acne!! Ohhh it hurts so badly. Each pimple is cystic, and huge, and I'm at my wit's end on how to treat it. Rave? I've got NO PLANS this upcoming weekend! None! Can just catch up on sleep, chores, and start excavating the office, which is to become the nursery. Questions: None right now! GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? I am eating all the chocolate ice cream I can get my hands on, but I'm not the least bit guilty about it.
~*~*~*~*FTM!*~*~*~*~* Married 10/17/09 TTC since 2/16 BFP 2/4/19 EDD 10/15/19
I'm revising what I put for my questions. Have any of you experienced Hypothyroidism during pregnancy? And how it was treated?
I have this, developed it with the pregnancy. I just take a small dose of Synthroid every morning, and they check my TSH levels every 3-4 weeks. So far I haven’t had any ill effects from it at all and my numbers have been great.
@jenferlee82 Thank you for sharing, I had a feeling my thyroid has been off for years now, but the doc just said it was either PCOS or just a weight thing.
@nnaelilak I'm sorry about the hemorrhoids, those things suck so much. Congrats on the house! Can you still do quiet time even though he doesn't nap, time he stays in his room and you get some peace? @cmbt2 ugh I hope you get to feeling better really soon! @cooaladolly I make DH make three list. Things to do this week, things to do this month, things to do "soon." The prioritizing really helps him organize and less stress as he marks things off. @galentine FX you feel better soon! @greenbean-2 so many hugs! @marbellie I love lucies list for product reviews and what you "need" they offer options at different price points and just a lot of options with great info. @jenferlee82 I have the worst patience for stupidity when I'm pregnant @sammygirl18 I have gotten motion sickness this time around too. I'm always prone to it on twisty and hilly roads but since being pregnant just driving around town has been triggering it, especially if i'm a passenger. @prpl11butterfly YAY for passing all your milestones! @steminist I have been avoiding the Easter aisle like the plague, I absolutely love jelly beans and I think the starburst ones are my favorite. I going to the store this afternoon so thanks for that
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 12+6
Baby is the size of a(n): Plum
FTM/STM/TTM+: It's complicated but TTM+
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out FX that baby is positioned well at the 16Wk scan, otherwise it will be 24Wks
Upcoming Appointments: I see my regular OB tomorrow then nothing until my 16wk scan with MFM doc
How are you feeling?: Pretty good the past week and a half. Nausea every now and again but not all day everyday anymore. The exhaustion is not getting any better, and neither is the sleeping.
Rants/Raves: No rants today that I can think of. Raves: Started working on the nursery this past weekend. It has been a storage room since we moved DS in October(?). So I started going through some things and bagged up some things to move to garage. I think I have picked a nursery theme regardless of sex, although if we end up girl that is subject to change LOL
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Hmm probably take out in general. I usually cook most nights and we will get take out once every couple weeks but the past month we have been having it a lot because I simply haven't felt like cooking.
Apparently dairy is the theme for me: cheese, ice cream, and milkshakes.
Oh my goodness, @greenbean-2 , me too! I can't get enough chocolate milkshakes! Wonder if that means anything.
Me too which is weird because normally I would choose vanilla, strawberry, Oreo, anything other than a chocolate milkshake (I like chocolate in general, I just prefer other ice cream flavors). But lately I just want chocolate shakes.
@marbellie I love lucies list for product reviews and what you "need" they offer options at different price points and just a lot of options with great info.
Upcoming Appointments: appointment got pushed back till the 24th
How are you feeling?: Really good.
Rants/Raves: I’m kinda upset that my appointment got pushed back. By the time I see my OB (on the 24th) it will be 6 weeks since I’ve seen him. I just get anxious wanting to hear my little one and making sure everything is okay.
Questions: No Questions
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Nothing, besides dreaming about all the food when I nap.
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 10/6, 14 weeks 2 days
Baby is the size of a(n): Peach!
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team pink 🥰
Upcoming Appointments: a/s scheduled for 5/14
How are you feeling?: pretty good this week! Still really tired
Rants/Raves: So happy to be in the second trimester. I feel like I’m starting to “show” too instead of just looking like I’ve gained 10 from fast food!
Questions: None today
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? “True Lemon” packets in my water. Oh my god I chug water with these things!!! Sour citrusy deliciousness. Ok might not be “guilty” but i do wonder how safe the amount I’m having is!
@jenferlee82 Thank you for sharing, I had a feeling my thyroid has been off for years now, but the doc just said it was either PCOS or just a weight thing.
You’re welcome! Hopefully they can get you on the right medicine and regulated.
Upcoming Appointments: I just had one today so not for another 5 weeks
How are you feeling?: Human! After my appointment I was actually able to get some things done around the house, play with DS AND make dinner. But now I’m done moving for the day haha
Rants/Raves: Rant - So many of my friends are on vacation/traveling right now. I’m itching to go somewhere! Rant - DS threw up once yesterday. I’m pretty sure it was just him gagging on mucus and he’s been 100% fine ever since but I hate vomiting and am convinced he’s going to throw up all over himself again at any given moment. Anxiety is awesome. Rave - The weather is aaamazing
Questions: For the smaller chested ladies - what brand of bra do you wear? I typically wear underwire something from Target but it’s getting tight. I found a wireless one (so comfortable!) there I thought I liked but after bringing it home I don’t like the cut of it. Hoping to not spend much bc I don’t know how long I’ll wear it
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Outlander. The books and show. The views of Scotland are incredible and the romance is 🔥 🔥Now that I'm feeling better I think it’s helping me get my sex drive back 😆
@melanier26 mine are all VS bras. I wear a 32 band, and it’s hard to find (actually, I’m a 30, but it’s next to impossible so I deal). I only got 2 in each size since I grow so much. If you’re going to have more than one kid, put them away in storage because you may need them again.
@steminist I have also been indulging the in the Starburst jelly beans pretty hard. Easter has the best candy!
@Junebaby2 sex results waiting in the portal and not peeking until DH and I could view them together after work was exactly me last Thursday. It was a tough exercise in willpower, but you can do it!!
@jane101757 I will have to check out those lemon packets. I'm getting so bored with regular water and I'm burned out on sparkling water. I have been enjoying Spindrift sodas which are a little different though.
@PenelopeSnuz77 I also can't wait for GOT. We are going to start rewatching the last season now in anticipation of the premiere on Sunday. Can't wait!
Upcoming Appointments: In 20 days. Feels like forever away.
How are you feeling?: I'm still having some not so great feeling days here and there, but nothing like before. Mostly I'm tired of the rhinitis - so much drippy nose and sneezing!
Rants/Raves: Rave: I won my department's March Madness bracket competition! Also since we got our results last week we have been able to share the news with close friends and family that didn't yet know so that has been pretty great! Questions:
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Easter candy and Game of Thrones.
@melanier26 Outlander is the shit, absolutely love it. I'm going through withdraw right now because I finished the latest season. Which season are you on?
@PenelopeSnuz77 I'm excited for GOT as well!! Were gonna do catch up on Saturday. Im just so sad it'll be over.
@Cass005 I read the first book then started watching. I’m currently still watching season one but am reading the second book at the same time. I’m thinking about giving up on the books. They’re very wordy and I’m not enjoying the second one as much.
@melanier26 I've heard that the show is dead on compared to the books so you might be fine. I've never read them myself because I know it would take me a century lol. Season One is still my favorite, but the whole series is awesome.
@melanier26 jumping in on your Outlander discussion because I may be slightly obsessed 😆 but I’m in book 2 right now too. I’m about half way though and finding it pretty slow. My sister just finished book 3 and said it was soooo good, so I think it might just be this one!
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding Out - Just did Panorama on Tuesday!
Upcoming Appointments: 16th!
How are you feeling?: Nausea is pretty much non-existent so that's cool. Really tired though. And massive headaches.
Rants/Raves: *TW* I have stopped checking EVERY time I wipe for blood bc loss mama...but still doing it sometimes. I can't believe I'm almost to 12 weeks - felt like this would never come. Still so nervous/scared for next week's appointment that we'll hear the heartbeat again.
Questions: Does anyone know anything about protein powder/shakes during pregnancy? Haven't read anything about it but also just don't know.
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Well, we've affectionately dubbed this babe Carbzilla, so that should tell you something. Also, ice cream.
@egb428 I drink protein drinks occasionally. Just make sure it’s not ones that contain caffeine and you’re not doing it to replace meals. There’s also things about not having to much soy, particularly if having a boy 🤷🏼♀️
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out. Debating about the NIPT testing. MH seems to be very anxious about the possibility of unpleasant results. So, we're still mulling it over
Upcoming Appointments: April 17. Can't wait to hear baby's heartbeat again. Swore I felt a flutter last night at dinner.
How are you feeling?: Generally pretty good. Nausea has pretty much gone away and my appetite is back! Yay! Replaced with lower back pain. I will most certainly take pain over nausea.
Rants/Raves: I think I may be starting to have the pregnancy glow! I got told today by a stranger that I have the most beautiful blonde hair he's even seen. Another man saw me in a difficult moment on the phone and then offered me one white rose and wished me a better day. Not sure if it's pregnancy glow or not, but the universe was loving on me today, and it was so nice 😊🥰
Questions: tips/tricks for managing back pain?
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Hmm... All things carbs. Haha. Soft pretzels, mini pizzas, potato chips etc. Etc.
@melanier26 Outlander is the shit, absolutely love it. I'm going through withdraw right now because I finished the latest season. Which season are you on?
FFThC? I read Outlander because moms from my other BMB were raving about it but honestly by the 5th(?) book I just hated Jamie.I get needing to have a dream man in a romantic plot (duh) but damn something about him just grated on me and I found myself wishing he'd get maimed or have a personality transplant along the way.
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: I think team green but it gets more tempting to find out the closer I get to the 20week scan. We found out with all of our other kids but I’m leaning towards team green right now.
Upcoming Appointments: 4/26
How are you feeling?: Still sick with pneumonia and a sinus infection. I had started to feel better for a day or two and then got worse again so I’m starting my second round of antibiotics.
Rants/Raves: I have found someone to do my lawn care this year instead of doing it myself. I’m so excited that I don’t have to rake my lawn, and that it will actually look nice after its seeded.
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? No bake cookies 😵
@jhokaj524 I say this to everyone who has back pain already- go see a chiropractor!
really, it does help. There’s no need to suffer like I did through my first
I need to and we get a free visit a month through my insurance I just never get a day to myself to go 😑 I need to soon though. I've had back issues since my daughter's epidural, though that's more muscle issue. But I need a pelvix floor and spine or neck reset I think 😔
How are you feeling?: good but exhausted!! I can get through the day just fine but come 8pm I’m dead to the world.
Rants/Raves: Rave, I had a great time at my company “retreat”. So nice to get a few days away. I work with my baby sister so I also got to spend quality time with her. Rant, I got horrible sleep while I was away.... couldn’t get comfortable and my drunk coworkers are loud.
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? It changes hourly.... tonight it’s going to be a chocolate shake!!
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: We found out last night, it's a girl!
Upcoming Appointments: I have my NT scan on Monday. I'm annoyed because they couldn't schedule me at my usual doctor's office (super close to my house), so I have to drive way across town to another location. My husband is having to leave work early just to watch DS1 while I spend the afternoon doing this.
How are you feeling?: Definitely better than a few weeks ago. I still feel tired and sometimes queasy, but none of the flu-like days I was having in February and March.
Rants/Raves: Meh... if I get going I'll type out a novel.
Questions: Does anyone know what stores, other than Target, still have maternity sections in-store? It's so annoying how it's online only now.
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Gatorade! Normally I don't much care for it unless I am sick or hung over. Now it's like my everyday drink of choice. Maybe it's because this pregnancy is giving me a mild-hangover feeling a lot of the time? I've been buying the low calorie version, G2 (Or, the Powerade Zero lemonade flavor, which is hard to find, but amazing), so I don't kill myself with all the suguar and carbs.
How are you feeling?: Better but far from awesome - only threw up once this week 🥳
Rants/Raves: RANT: I’m gaining weight so fast and I’m trying to eat less carbs but im also super nauseous if I don’t bc all other food repulse me atm. Feeling gross 😭
RAVE: It’s beautiful out and the sun makes me happy.
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Sleeping - it’s sooooo lovely
@BBaires - sleeping is the best! My anxiety has finally dropped off significantly along with nausea, so I can finally enjoy naps when I can take them! Loving it!

I'd love to be asleep right now but I can't stop wheezing and MH keeps snoring, so. Here I am.
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month?
Alllll the sugar and carbs and sparkling juice.
Outlander is the shit, absolutely love it. I'm going through withdraw right now because I finished the latest season. Which season are you on?
@PenelopeSnuz77 I'm excited for GOT as well!! Were gonna do catch up on Saturday. Im just so sad it'll be over.

How are you feeling?: Nausea is pretty much non-existent so that's cool. Really tired though. And massive headaches.
Rants/Raves: *TW* I have stopped checking EVERY time I wipe for blood bc loss mama...but still doing it sometimes. I can't believe I'm almost to 12 weeks - felt like this would never come. Still so nervous/scared for next week's appointment that we'll hear the heartbeat again.
Questions: Does anyone know anything about protein powder/shakes during pregnancy? Haven't read anything about it but also just don't know.
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Well, we've affectionately dubbed this babe Carbzilla, so that should tell you something. Also, ice cream.

FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out. Debating about the NIPT testing. MH seems to be very anxious about the possibility of unpleasant results. So, we're still mulling it over
Upcoming Appointments: April 17. Can't wait to hear baby's heartbeat again. Swore I felt a flutter last night at dinner.
How are you feeling?: Generally pretty good. Nausea has pretty much gone away and my appetite is back! Yay! Replaced with lower back pain. I will most certainly take pain over nausea.
Rants/Raves: I think I may be starting to have the pregnancy glow! I got told today by a stranger that I have the most beautiful blonde hair he's even seen. Another man saw me in a difficult moment on the phone and then offered me one white rose and wished me a better day. Not sure if it's pregnancy glow or not, but the universe was loving on me today, and it was so nice 😊🥰
Questions: tips/tricks for managing back pain?
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month?
Hmm... All things carbs. Haha. Soft pretzels, mini pizzas, potato chips etc. Etc.
really, it does help. There’s no need to suffer like I did through my first

Baby is the size of a(n): plum
FTM/STM/TTM+: Fourth time mom
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: I think team green but it gets more tempting to find out the closer I get to the 20week scan. We found out with all of our other kids but I’m leaning towards team green right now.
Upcoming Appointments: 4/26
How are you feeling?: Still sick with pneumonia and a sinus infection. I had started to feel better for a day or two and then got worse again so I’m starting my second round of antibiotics.
Rants/Raves:
I have found someone to do my lawn care this year instead of doing it myself. I’m so excited that I don’t have to rake my lawn, and that it will actually look nice after its seeded.
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? No bake cookies 😵
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 15w1d
Baby is the size of a(n): eggo waffle!!
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team Blue! 💙
Upcoming Appointments: April 18th
How are you feeling?: good but exhausted!! I can get through the day just fine but come 8pm I’m dead to the world.
Rants/Raves: Rave, I had a great time at my company “retreat”. So nice to get a few days away. I work with my baby sister so I also got to spend quality time with her.
Rant, I got horrible sleep while I was away.... couldn’t get comfortable and my drunk coworkers are loud.
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? It changes hourly.... tonight it’s going to be a chocolate shake!!
Baby is the size of a(n): Plum
FTM/STM/TTM+: 2tm, Ds1 is two and a half.
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: We found out last night, it's a girl!
Upcoming Appointments: I have my NT scan on Monday. I'm annoyed because they couldn't schedule me at my usual doctor's office (super close to my house), so I have to drive way across town to another location. My husband is having to leave work early just to watch DS1 while I spend the afternoon doing this.
How are you feeling?: Definitely better than a few weeks ago. I still feel tired and sometimes queasy, but none of the flu-like days I was having in February and March.
Rants/Raves: Meh... if I get going I'll type out a novel.
Questions: Does anyone know what stores, other than Target, still have maternity sections in-store? It's so annoying how it's online only now.
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Gatorade! Normally I don't much care for it unless I am sick or hung over. Now it's like my everyday drink of choice. Maybe it's because this pregnancy is giving me a mild-hangover feeling a lot of the time? I've been buying the low calorie version, G2 (Or, the Powerade Zero lemonade flavor, which is hard to find, but amazing), so I don't kill myself with all the suguar and carbs.
Baby is the size of a(n): A plum
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out
Upcoming Appointments: Next Monday!
How are you feeling?: Better but far from awesome - only threw up once this week 🥳
Rants/Raves:
RANT: I’m gaining weight so fast and I’m trying to eat less carbs but im also super nauseous if I don’t bc all other food repulse me atm. Feeling gross 😭
GTKY: what’s your guilty pleasure of the month? Sleeping - it’s sooooo lovely
