    @cmbt2 No candy at all?  I’m not sure I would have survived first tri, all that made me feel better sometimes was sour candy.

    @galentine With my first, my mom, grandma, and sister were invited and came to all of my showers.  They bought a big gift for the in town shower and then small (like clothing or diapers) for the other showers.

    @greenbean-2 we had a babytrend sit and stand double (Millenium) which we liked because it was narrower than our jogging stroller when DS2 was still in the infant seat (the infant seat attached to the stroller).  When DS2 was bigger we had the Expedition double jogging stroller which I loved for ease of maneuvering, the speakers, and the kids could keep each other company and share a blanket.

    @kindbytealikat oooh, allergies are the pits and then combine with DH not being helpful and headaches.  I hope you all feel better soon!

    @stephanie123456 congrats on team pink!  And now I want deviled eggs!

    I have been feeling movement, especially at night. I'm 14 weeks now, but this is my third. With my first, it was around 18w that I felt the baby.

    Yes, I have for about two weeks now, but I’m a third timer and non-FTMs tend to feel movement earlier because we recognize it. 

    TMI- she let out a giant hit (or in my perspective, threw her whole body) out of protest of DH and I having adult time 😂

    @emily1052 I just started feeling movement in the past couple of days, it’s been few and far between (15wks/3rd baby). With my first I felt him at about 19/20ish week. It’s definitely the most exciting thing to look forward to!

    Also a big F you to springtime colds and allergies. I feel like all of us are suffering! Aren’t we already going through enough?

    @galentine Thank you! Internet hugs feel good!
    @nnaelilak Happy to know I'm not the only one, though I wish you happiness/contentment, too. Let me contradict myself slightly here... but two boys is AWESOME!!! They are the perfect little playmate set. It's the loss of a wish that will never be (most likely) that I am struggling with. But two little bestie brothers is wonderful. I'm kind of wishing I had been satisfied with just my two, b/c now I feel like I'm going to disrupt what they have goin' on. Anyway, if that helps at all... <3

    @junebabyh it does! That is what helps me get excited, my son desperately deserves a little brother lol He is so physical and active and is absolutely going to love it!! I also mourn the loss of what could have been, I always wanted girls when I was growing up and my best friend owns a bow shop, I was so excited to support her and buy all the girly things! I know that by the time he gets here I'll be thrilled, it's just taking me a bit to adjust 💚 and I'm sure that your two little guys are going to absolutely love having a third brother, they may need adjustments too, but all of my friends that are 3 boy moms adore it!

    Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: Oct 2 / 15 weeks 5 days 

    Baby is the size of a(n): orange

    FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

    Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Pink 🏵

    Upcoming Appointments: Tomorrow!

    How are you feeling?: Still vomitting (please send help) but nausea is pretty much gone. Feeling pretty overwhelmed, DH is still in school and it's finals weeks so he understandably can't be as supportive as he'd like to be and I've been having to travel out of town for weeks at a time which has been difficult. I'm also quite young and have no friends who have had children yet so I'm starting to feel a little isolated and it's hard to be excited 😣

    Rants/Raves: Idk if pregnancy related but I am having my first eczema breakout in 10+ years and it's only on my face, boooo. SO happy for nice weather 


    GTKY: What is your favorite Easter/Spring treat (meal, candy or otherwise)? Robins egg candies

    Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: Oct 18/ 13w3d

    Baby is the size of a(n): ?

    Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green:  PINK!!!

    Upcoming Appointments: 16 week check on May 4

    How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): tired, sore abdomen, super hungry

    Rants/Raves: Apparently I now have atopic dermatitis so that's super fun but it's getting better the warmer the weather is outside. Also, I know we have to stay hydrated (and I'm thirsty so it's not hard) but I think I had to pee every 45-60 min today.

    Questions: If you found out the gender, how did you tell you SO? I bought silly string...

    GTKY: What is your favorite Easter/Spring treat (meal, candy or otherwise)? Is there anything better than a Reese's egg?

    @galentine I would invite all family and really close friends to both. I think it’s always better to invite than for someone to feel like they are left out. Then you could always tell them personally they don’t need to feel obligated for a gift at both. 

    Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: Oct. 24/12+5

    Baby is the size of a(n): plum 

    FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

    Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out!

    Upcoming Appointments: Tomorrow

    How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Still having some nausea each day and my sense of smell has definitely kicked up a notch. 

    Rant: I was admitted to the hospital about a week ago. They found a 7cm hematoma, so I’ve been on bedrest for 9 days now. Hoping my appt. tomorrow gives some good news. One doctor said bedrest for 1.5 months? That just seems so crazy to me. 

    Questions: I’ve been searching the boards about SCH. Anyone else dealing with this? 

    GTKY: What is your favorite Easter/Spring treat (meal, candy or otherwise)? Cadbury eggs

    @Schumerator and @kats0727- Well... then there's Reese's pumpkins and Christmas trees which are all basically the same. But the peanut butter and chocolate ratio are perfect!

    Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 12w3d

    Baby is the size of a(n): Plum

    FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM

    Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out. Would have loved to have been team green since baby came in as a surprise, but SIL is due 3 days before me and if we both have boys then it would be better to know beforehand how to split up the shared baby clothes.

    Upcoming Appointments: 4/17 is the NT scan. Just had 6 vials of blood drawn for the NT scan and also my insurance is covering the SMA, CF, and Fragile X carrier screening. 

    How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Better. Morning sickness is gone, but like others make a small part of me nervous.

    Rants/Raves: Small patch of shingles have blown off our roof and now we have crazy leaking/damage in our laundry room. Roofer comes today and insurance adjuster tomorrow.

    Questions:

    GTKY: What is your favorite Easter/Spring treat (meal, candy or otherwise)? Cadbury mini eggs.

    @nanner26 I had some spotting/light bleeding for about a week because of sch. It was around week 7 & 8 I think. When I brought it up at my first regular appointment I asked my doctor (saw a different one for the bleeding) and she said they were fairly common and moved on. I’m going under the assumption mine is gone since she didn’t say anything about seeing it on my ultrasound this time. It’s definitely an uneasy feeling but hopefully yours ends up being fairly smooth. Things on the internet we’re quite overwhelming to me when I was looking on google!

    @sammygirl18 Googling has definitely been overwhelming! I feel like I didn’t ask enough questions when it happened. Hopefully I get a clearer idea tomorrow when I see the doctor. Thanks for sharing!

    @aylaevalyn I’m sorry you’re still sick! That’s so miserable. As far as meeting other moms to be, do you have any interest in prenatal yoga? I did postnatal yoga after my first and it was a great way to get to know new moms. I’m planning to start prenatal yoga soon now that the tuck ones is starting to subside. 

    @nanner26 I had an SCH with both pregnancies but they were small. With the first I had no bleeding. This time around I had some bleeding, which was terrifying. There was a support thread for women with SCH in the July 2017 BMB, so take a look for that. Everyone who was there had a happy outcome. ETA: I’m putting in a general TW for that SCH thread. I just re-read it and there was some scary stuff going on for awhile. But all was well in the end.

    Questions: Any STM+ have recommendations for double strollers? DD will be 2 when baby arrives. 
    We have a babytrend double jogger for at home. That thing is a monster. My recommendation though is for our Jeep double umbrella. I keep it in the car. It's a side by side but I haven't found a doorway it didn't fit through. I even take it to doctor appointments. It's lightweight but sturdy. I love it.
