    Team: 💙

    Baby is the size of a(n): I forget today’s... yesterday was a maple leaf 🍁 

    Upcoming appts: early Sept for monthly check 

    How are you feeling?: way more energetic and often less nauseous! Although I also wonder if first trimester sets our expectations so low that the myth of the 2nd tri energy boost is just “I don’t feel like constant death, woohoo!!”

    Rants/Raves: Life is good. I’m feeling really happy with some big family milestones this week. I love my resale Isabella Oliver and Seraphine dresses for looking put together at work in my new body plus bump. I’ve consistently been getting in great workouts and slow runs for weeks. Although I do get super irritated at people with poor public transport etiquette. It bothered me before (sitting on the outside seat with an empty inside seat, putting bags in a seat and not moving them when people don’t have seats, etc.) but now that I’m pregnant it *really* bothers me.  

    Questions: 

    GTKY: As summer is winding down, what is your favorite part of summer? The extra ice cream 😂

    @um_thor I feel you on the public transit rudeness! It drives me INSANE! It's never ever ever ever okay to put your stupid backpack in a seat instead of on the floor/in your lap- no one should have to ask for someone else to move over or move their things to sit down. Such a huge pet peeve of mine too!

    @hellonurse0802 Congrats on the boy!! Boys are fun too!

    Team: Blue! 💙💙

    Baby is the size of a(n):  oranges

    Upcoming appts: next Monday for US

    How are you feeling?: About the same.  Not quite as nauseous as I was (not ALL day at least), but I still throw up at least once a day.  Also as far as skin goes, am I the only one who's eczema has gotten worse??  I have this recurring spot on my ring finger that has just increasingly been horrible this whole pregnancy.  I haven't been able to wear my wedding rings since I became pregnant.  Even if I wear them for less than half a day, my eczema flares up so bad from the excess sweating/moisture that gets trapped under it.  I hate it and feel naked without them on.  I would wonder if it was a new metal allergy, but even without wearing them, it still flares up without warning.

    Rants/Raves:  Just ready for this nausea to go away.  Although it's horrible, it also gives me reassurance that babies are still doing ok.

    Questions:

    GTKY: As summer is winding down, what is your favorite part of summer?  I love all the fresh veggies...  Being from south Jersey, there's nothing like sweet white Jersey corn!  Also I've been on a peach kick lately, so give me all the peaches!

    @alseltzer, sorry your eczema has increased. No words of advice but here to say H gets it in the same spot as you and it drives him crazy. Does cortisone cream
    help?

    @jvk2012 unfortunately only a little.  I had a prescription steroid cream for it that worked before but is now expired.  Plus I'm very weary of what I use now.  Doc said I could get a script for it and it miiiight help, but she said it's up to what I'm comfortable with.  I'm just super anxious about prescriptions and anything I consume because of past MCs. Think I'm just gonna keep the rings off since fingers will probably swell eventually anyway, and I can mostly manage it if I keep them off.

    @alseltzer my eczema has gotten worse with pregnancy. Normally it hangs out on my torso where I can cover it up, but it spread to my face in the first tri and hasn't receded yet.

    @alseltzer I don’t have eczema but occasionally get the red patch under my wedding ring from washing my hands- it happened a lot when I was pregnant with my second. I had good luck with coconut oil and keeping my ring off. I hated not wearing my ring and I totally understand feeling anxious about using a steroid.

    EDD/W+D: 2/13; 15 weeks today

    Team: will find out

    Baby is the size of a(n): cinnamon roll!

    Upcoming appts: next Friday for 16w checkup

    How are you feeling?: A little more energetic, some nausea still, mostly constipated. Finally feeling signs of growing belly with some cramping like I've done crunches haha! I definitely LOOK pregnant already 😂

    Rants/Raves: I'm mad I have gestational diabetes again! I managed well with my first, but being diagnosed early has been tough. Planning meals for me and my husband and 21mo daughter is challenging. But it's better than not knowing and not managing it I guess..... 

    Questions: anyone else's second pregnancy and WAY more exhausted this time??   :s

    @emlwalsh, sorry you have GD again. My DD 26 months and I was definitely exhausted 1st tri much more this time around. I think because we never have a chance to sit and relax and take care of ourselves this time. Also because sleeping late is a joke (at least in my house)!

    @brookert615 We requested to fly on the 10th, but the Navy is still processing our travel paperwork so we don't know for sure when we're flying. Like all good government bureaucracies, they returned the paperwork to us for corrections yesterday because we didn't specify the ages of our cats (even though nowhere on the form does it say to do so) and because I was not supposed to put my husband's SSN (even though there is a specific spot on the form that says "spouse SSN"). So hopefully it gets processed soon.

    @daffodil_shoe I very nearly got out, but ended up signing on for another 6 years in June. It felt like selling my soul, but hubby and future kiddo won't have to worry about bills, food, or healthcare for the next 6 years.

    @craftywitch We got the blood work and could’ve known at the beginning of August but we are waiting for our gender reveal which is a month away! Don’t feel left out lol! You’re so close, though!!!

    @emlwalsh Sorry about the GD! Good luck at your 16 week appointment!

    @noxacanthus Oh boy! That’s annoying! Hopefully they process that paperwork, stat!

    @craftywitch I haven’t been able to get a definite on sex either with two of them. They suspect one of each but I’m hoping we can be more sure at my 16wk appt! It’s so hard when everyone else knows haha!

    @craftywitch I won't be finding out until I am 20w4d at my anatomy since we didn't do any testing or anything. It is KILLING me that I have to wait another whole month.

    EDD/W+D: 2/9 - 15+7

    Team:  Green

    Baby is the size of a(n): Jar of Nutella

    Upcoming appts:  Our anatomy scan is scheduled for Sept. 30! I can't believe it is almost here!

    How are you feeling?: Good. I have been really tired. School is back in the swing of things and it has been kicking my butt! I need to slow down and get home before 6 (I haven't necessarily been staying at school that late but other things after school are keeping me out late). I haven't even gotten around to posting this week with school. I am just soooo tired!

    Rants/Raves: I feel excited to be a mom but don't really feel like one yet, I don't know if that makes sense. I enjoy seeing the baby on the 2 ultrasounds we have had and hearing the heartbeat this week but I still feel detached. I'm not sure what's going on....

    Questions: None this week :)

    GTKY: As summer is winding down, what is your favorite part of summer? Spending time at the lake camping and going to our local water park lots. We are going to the water park on Labor Day for one more time!

    @burr1371, I think not feeling like it’s real yet at this point is normal. With DD I definitely felt more connected when I found out the sex and then once I felt regular movement. I still feel like I’m just pretending to be pregnant this time around.
