Questions: n/a
GTKY: What “pregnancy rules” have you already broken? (OOH I love this one)
- Eating sushi, deli meat, medium rare steak, seared raw tuna. The most dangerous thing I've done is run a 5K in 85 degree very humid weather which was just dumb.

GTKY: What “pregnancy rules” have you already broken? I am a rule follower, even this second time around. But I have been drinking caffeine which I’m not supposed to do, pregnant or not! I don’t think I’m going over my daily limit, but I need to stop for anxiety purposes.

Baby is the size of a(n): 🌮 taco

How are you feeling?: good overall...not always comfy sleeping, waking to pee
Rants/Raves:
Rant: I loved my pregnancy pillow for awhile but now I'm over it and just sleeping with a thin pillow between my legs. I wake up achy but I think that is because we also need a new mattress.
Rave: Bump is looking more bump-like
Questions:
GTKY: What “pregnancy rules” have you already broken? I have had very small amounts of caffeine. Probably 2 sodas and maybe 5 cups of green tea this whole pregnancy. I want more but I really try to limit it.

Team: it’s a girl!
Baby is the size of a(n): video game controller (this cracked me up, I told my husband as he was holding one)
Upcoming appts: wed check in, 10/2 ultrasound
How are you feeling?: ok— eating is easier. Back aches already. Tired. Some brain farts while teaching.
Rants/Raves: rant: walking around campus while it’s still so hot in the desert
rave: I have a bump and a better appetite
Questions: hm... are back aches common this early? How do you relieve it?
GTKY: What “pregnancy rules” have you already broken? ... deli meats for sure (try to heat them up). Walking around in 109 * heat (had to!). Caffeine, but I stay under 200 mg a day so nbd to me.
Team: Blue 💙
Baby is the size of a(n): pomegranate
Upcoming appts: 9/30 for the anatomy scan.
How are you feeling?: AWESOME. I am so happy to be over the nausea!! I feel like I can't sleep or nap enough, so definitely some fatigue.
Rants/Raves:
Rant: I'm going on a 4 day business trip with my boss this Thursday through Sunday. Not only is it taking up my weekend, but I have to share a hotel room with her and another woman I don't know that well. I'm a total introvert, and need space and privacy. It's going to be a challenge for me, but, I'll get through.
Questions: none
GTKY: What “pregnancy rules” have you already broken? I've been trying to be super good! I guess I'm probably not being as careful as I could be with deli meat. I've eaten sandwiches from Potbelly's and Firehouse because they make hot subs, but I don't know how hot the meat actually gets. Probably not hot enough to kill listeria. But if I do Jimmy John's, I stick with a vegetarian sub, so I'm kinda trying!!
Team: Unknown!
Baby is the size of a(n): Pomegranate
Upcoming appts: Gender determination ultrasound in two weeks!!
How are you feeling?: Pretty good, not as tired as I was previously, I didn't experience much morning sickness at all but now I am finding that I am forgetting E V E R Y T H I N G.
Rants/Raves: I have had some work stress which has been making my blood pressure borderline. Cannot wait to be able to chill out for awhile even if it is while looking after a baby I feel not focusing on work for awhile will help me as I am a total workaholic.
Questions: None
GTKY: What “pregnancy rules” have you already broken? I have had a couple small cups of coffee here and there, i have also had a deli meat sandwich!

Upcoming appts: Anatomy scan on 10/9
How are you feeling?: Ok. I've been dealing with Restless Leg Syndrome at night which has been keeping me up.
Rants/Raves: The last few days have been nice and cool thanks to thunderstorms and it's starting to feel like fall. At least until the weekend when the temps go back up. Haha.
Questions:
GTKY: What “pregnancy rules” have you already broken?
I've def had days where I've gone over the 200mils of caffeine.
Team: blue
Baby is the size of a(n): pomegranate, PlayStation controller lol
Upcoming appts: 9/27 for our anatomy US
How are you feeling?: overall very good! But having some back pain.
Rants/Raves: I think my bump is starting to come in! I’m still in the pudgy phase but it’s definitely starting to round out a little.
Questions: anyone else’s “bump” more of a poofy bloat above the belly button?? I feel like the baby has started pushing my organs and everything up so I’m bloaty looking but my abdomen area on/below the belly button hasn’t really popped out like what I was expecting a bump to look like?
GTKY: What “pregnancy rules” have you already broken?
I drink a latte every day but it’s only like 75 mg so I’m not worried. Otherwise I’m kind of a rule follower (cautious FTM syndrome!). I did have my first sandwich at potbelly tonight but made them toast it twice lol
