Upcoming Appointments: consultation at birth center next Monday
How are you feeling?: tired 😕
Rants/Raves: none yet nervous for the symptoms to kick in
Questions: none that I can think of now I’ve have googled a new question every couple hours for the last few days
GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? Fall but only up north where it’s beautiful I live in Florida now so I don’t really get seasons anymore
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: I want to find out
Baby is the size of a(n): Poppyseed apparently
Upcoming Appointments: Tomorrow for another blood draw
How are you feeling?: Great so far. No symptoms except tender breasts. Feels like PMS.
Rants/Raves: the excitement is wearing off a little bit so I can concentrate better at work. I was useless on Thursday and Friday.
Questions: How are you choosing your OBGYN? My insurance covers all the providers so this isn't an issue. My regular practice, which is located 2 min from my office, doesn't have ultrasound on site and delivers at a hospital I don't really like. They lose the proximity advantage since I'll have to go at another site for appointments. Right now I picked a new practice that really supports midwife only births .
GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? Spring. Winters are long and rough so when spring comes along, it makes me super happy.

rikiteacup for me I really want to use a midwife/birth center over a hospital environment since I’m old school in a lot of ways and there is only one reputable one close by but I still spent several hours reading reviews and researching their policies before deciding for sure that’s what I was going to try and do
@rikiteacup I chose mine based on amazing references but at the hospital I want to deliver at. Is the practice you're at going to deliver at the hospital you want?
@brookert615 yes, they deliver at a hospital I don't dislike. Also, it's the closest from my house. Since I live in MN where the weather can make roads very dangerous at that time of year, staying close to home will be easier for everybody.

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out! I didn't with my first and really regretted it. I'm definitely finding out with this one.
Baby is the size of a(n): poppyseed
Upcoming Appointments: Today to talk about my blood pressure medications. I was supposed to have my prenatal orientation on July 3rd but they moved it to today since I have chronic hypertension and they wanted to go over my meds.
How are you feeling?: Fine. Bloated.
Rants/Raves: Nothing too crazy. My toddler is a overtired mess today and I'm looking forward to nap time.
GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? Summer for sure. No question.
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out! Team green with the first but found out the second time and much prefer knowing - it helped me bond.
Baby is the size of a(n):
Upcoming Appointments: none yet, I'll probably call on Friday.
How are you feeling?: Crampy, tired, and my back hurts. It's the last week of school for me (teacher) so the tiredness might be due to the million things I need to do lol.
Rants/Raves: last week of school! So looking forward to time off with my kids and for everything to slow down a bit
Questions:
GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? So hard to pick, there are qualities / routines about each that I love- do right now I'll say summer but I'm sure by the end of August I'll say fall!
@beforeyou - I didn't find it with my first and I felt so overwhelmed by everything all at once - birth, finding out I had a son, and recovery. A lot to process at once! I found it the second time and felt way better about knowing
@_orchid_ yes! That was exactly my experience. It was so overwhelming. And I also didn't feel bonded right away which I blamed on not knowing the gender and feeling like I birthed a stranger. Which, I realize, is a very weird thing to feel/say, but those postpartum feels are intense and don't make much sense sometimes. So we are finding out as soon as we can this time around. I'm glad to know that you felt much better when you found out with your second!
How are you feeling?: Boobs hurt off and on and if I don't eat or drink enough, major headaches.
Rants/Raves: PGAL is hard. Not throwing up yet is also freaking me out because I have in all my previous pregnancies. I guess it's still early, and it doesn't necessarily mean anything, as I was also sick with the BO.
Questions: Nope.
GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? Fall. I love everything about it.

Upcoming Appointments: I won’t have my first appt. until July 8 then my first ultrasound is on July 24. Feels like forever away!
How are you feeling?: pretty good. A little nauseous, some back and boob pain, pretty bloated. The fatigue hasn’t kicked in at least!
Rants/Raves: none at the moment!
Questions: nope
GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? Fall and early winter! I recently moved to New England from the south and am so excited to experience real seasons! I’m not a fan of summer.
Very tired ,hungry and emotional at times, just crying about little things like mypower outlet not working or if my 3 yr old son doesn't want a hug. I have been having a lot of dreams lately about a new baby, it was a boy. In one of my dreams my boobs got so big I couldn't look down haha a very real fear of mine right now.
