How are you feeling?: i have stopped throwing up and have more energy but am also starting to feel so massive and like im waddling already and have gotten so slow!
Rants/Raves: we had a wedding on friday & i stayed til after 1am so was completely shattered but it was such a great day, then we went for dinner on saturday night to celebrate out 5th wedding anniversary, which was also on friday. It was such a lovely weekend but i need a week to sleep now!
Questions: nothing right now.
GTKY: Have you used “being pregnant” as an excuse to get out of doing something? What was the reason? yep, not this time around yet though but when i was pregnant with dd, my husband had 2 cousins who got married a day apart the week between christmas & new year. i was due at the end of january and absolutely used being heavily pregnant as an excuse to not go to either. if it had of been my own family, i probably wouldve made the effort.
you had such a nice weekend.
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): Sweet Potato
Upcoming Appointments: Anatomy scan in 2 weeks (8/26)! Then appointment with new providers on September 12.
How are you feeling?: Pretty good as long as I keep fed!
Rants/Raves: Felt Baby kick yesterday! Big strong kicks, too! Exciting especially since I had an anterior placenta with DS.
Questions: None
GTKY: Have you used “being pregnant” as an excuse to get out of doing something? What was the reason? On a nearly daily basis with my husband so I don't have to do laundry and other stuff I don't want to do...lol!
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: green
Baby is the size of a(n):crepe suzette
Upcoming Appointments: was supposed to be today! kind of annoyed but apparently the midwives were trying to call me all weekend and this morning (I have no missed calls) to move my appointment. So I went there this morning and we've moved it now to Thursday. I also live in the country with no signal so I told them if it's weekends or early morning to email me instead
How are you feeling?: EXHAUSTED...DD had her bday party this weekend and literally everything hurt after that day. Other than that I'm good, just super tired today. I can feel baby kicking quite a bit now even with this anterior placenta!
Rants/Raves: DD had such an awesome bday, we made a good effort and she loved every bit of it!
Questions: nope
GTKY: Have you used “being pregnant” as an excuse to get out of doing something? What was the reason?
Nothing really..just things like doing dishes or sometimes cooking dinner
@leprechaunlady glad you had such a fun weekend!
@b@breweber2010 amen to the laundry
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: team blue!
Baby is the size of a(n): artichoke, cucumber, or postcard today
Upcoming Appointments: tomorrow for Anatomy scan!
How are you feeling?: crampy today. I rolled over in bed this morning and it hurt, I imagine that was just RL pain and the crampy feeling means that I need to drink more water.
Rants/Raves: Super annoyed that I pee myself practically everytime I sneeze these days, it's never happened after my last pregnancy so I'm like WTAF is happening. Also my nipples are like totally ready for a baby. They're like "Hey give us a baby! What, 4.5 more months? What are you waiting for, we're ready!!" Also I just generally feel more anxious this pregnancy about everything going smoothly, where as last time I think I was pretty naive to all that could go wrong. Really trying not to focus on the anxiety and tell myself that everything will be ok and I'm not going to end up giving birth on my stairs. 😂
Questions: how's your relationship been with your SO these days? I feel like I'm constantly annoyed with him and a lot of it has to do with pregnancy hormones.
GTKY: Have you used “being pregnant” as an excuse to get out of doing something? What was the reason?
Not too much, mostly just carrying things that I know are too heavy for me that I shouldn't be carrying. I have said things like "baby wants a donut" or the like when it comes to food, when I never did that last time because I really hate the idea of "eating for two." I'm really eating for myself but I'll blame the baby for wanting that donut. 😂🤤🍩

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): bowl of cereal (But how big is the bowl?)
Upcoming Appointments: Wednesday anatomy scan and ob. I'm so excited😁!
How are you feeling?: overjoyed. Finding out the gender this week, best friend is coming to town, most nursery furniture has arrived and we assembled it.
Rants/Raves: still not gaining weight which makes me uncomfortable, but my bump is getting bigger for sure.
Questions: if the crib is right next to my bed, I don't need a bassinet, right?
GTKY: Have you used “being pregnant” as an excuse to get out of doing something? What was the reason?
All the time! Food, getting up to get something, lifting. You name it I probably have given the puppy dog look and "but I'm pregnant" line.
@valerie4786 I have extremes of being so in love with my DH, and then wanting to rip his head off. I keep catching myself rolling my eyes and answering "*sigh* ... Yes?" just because he walks in the room to ask me a question. I felt really bad last time because he walked in to ask if I wanted ice cream... Woops!
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out (hopefully next week!)
Baby is the size of a(n): dollar bill
Upcoming Appointments: Wednesday is my shot appointment, and neext Monday is my perinatal appointments with the specialist
How are you feeling?: Tired. Full of heartburn... Besides that I'm feeling ugly and HUGE!
Rants/Raves:
Questions:
GTKY: Have you used “being pregnant” as an excuse to get out of doing something? What was the reason?
Oh all the time! Dishes...too tired. Laundry? Damp moldy basement which is not good for pregnant me. I put in my notice at work to be taken out of aftercare because I'm too tired to do it (will still do my regular 8-3 job).
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: I just found out via test results, but I am going to wait to tell my husband and DD before posting.
Baby is the size of a(n): Taco
Upcoming Appointments: Genetic counseling on Thursday, but with the test results I got back there shouldn't be much to say!
How are you feeling?: Still good. Lower back pain, but I think that is because of what I do for work!
Rants/Raves: All the genetic tests came back NEGATIVE! This is such great news.
Questions: None yet
GTKY: Have you used “being pregnant” as an excuse to get out of doing something? What was the reason?
I have tried not to but other people have used it for me.
@alicia__e right! We did that with DS and it worked well. I'm surprised it's not a more popular option.
@chelscreates I'm so happy you got good news!
Weeks: 19
Team Pink
Baby is the size of a mango
Appointments: A/S tomorrow morning! Eek!
How are you feeling? Lower back pain, and specifically sciatica, here as well. It's BAD. I didn't experience this at all last time and I want to trade it back for last round's pelvic plain, please!
Rants/raves: A/S's are nerve wracking! Will be happy once it has passed and all is hopefully well.
Questions: Any other STM+ feeling this baby move LESS than their first? It's not no movement, but it's SO much less!
GTKY: I can't think of any good examples except for lifting heavy things at work, but I am using it to get out of ALL of the holiday things I don't enjoy and I CAN'T FREAKING WAIT.
@leprechaunlady Belated happy anniversary to you and DH!
@Xstatic3333 I’m not sure if it’s less yet since I don’t remember when I first really started feeling DD move on a regular basis. I’m just very anxious for the kicks to happen more often.
@chelscreates Wonderful news on the test results!
@alicia__e I hope the A/S appointment went great today!
Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: 18w
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: pink
Baby is the size of a(n): sweet potato
Upcoming Appointments: Anatomy scan 8/26
How are you feeling?: Worried for the anatomy scan. I get this way when I’m in between appointments and don’t have the reassurance yet of regular movement.
Rants/Raves: Like @valerie4786 and a lot of you, I’m feeling constant annoyance with DH and feel terrible about it. My temper has been extreme, too. I had a particularly obnoxious explosion last night feeling like he wasn’t “engaged” enough with this pregnancy and apologized about it this morning.
Questions: none at the moment.
GTKY: Have you used “being pregnant” as an excuse to get out of doing something? What was the reason?
Oh for sure. DH has been doing virtually all the cooking. I’ve also used it to get out of road trips because the idea of sitting uncomfortably in a car for long periods while pregnant is awful.
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out in 11 long days!
Baby is the size of a(n): mango
Upcoming Appointments: anatomy scan on 8/26
How are you feeling?: Just generally uncomfortable at times but pretty good for the most part.
Rants/Raves: DH and I have been fighting quite a bit lately (but it sounds like we're not alone so I feel a bit better). I swear he's acting more hormonal than I am but I know it's just because he wants everything to be perfect.
Questions: not that I can think of at the moment
GTKY: Have you used “being pregnant” as an excuse to get out of doing something? What was the reason? Making dinner! That's about it so far but it's always in my back pocket lol
