Re: Weekly Check-in Groups 3&4 (Jan 17-31) w/o 9/16
Baby is the size of a(n): One of Danaerys' dragon eggs
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Science/Math. I understand music, though it's been a while. I already speak a fair amount of Spanish (aka TexMex), and I have bits and pieces of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese... But, with science and math, I could understand everything about the world and the universe and how it works, and maybe unlock the secrets and knowledge on how to fix a lot of what is wrong with this world...or learn to teleport between multi-verses...time travel...cold fusion...fuel cells that don't explode...get rid of fossil fuels and city lights...develop a Babel Fish (from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy)..and then we would all understand all languages...unlock the secrets of religion...and we would stop fighting over it. Deep down, this cynical, jaded, LibTard is still a dreamer.
Baby is the size of a(n): cob of corn
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Spanish? It's just really helpful here in Florida.
Baby is the size of a(n): endive, banana, carrot??
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? I already speak French. Spanish would be helpful.

@marebear15 sounds like a crazy morning! Hope YH feels better soon! I haven't really had any cravings or aversions. Although, I now enjoy croutons and raw baby carrots, 2 things I've never liked due to a texture, crunch thing. Now I think they're great!
@MollySm I'm also having a hard time choosing a boy name. So many more options for girls! Also your post made me hungry for chocolate, any chocolate.
EDD/Weeks + Days: Jan 25th, 21 weeks, 2 days
Baby is the size of a(n): carrot
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Also Spanish, just because it would be the most useful here. Otherwise, I think it'd be cool to know Russian.
Edit: typo
@FyreFlyeRush - I don't remember craving anything with DD1. I remember just thinking, Oh that sounds okay and won't be bad to throw up. This time I do want things more salty than normal, but it's not one thing.
@peppyj9 - Tomorrow will be here before you know it! Keep us updated.
Baby is the size of a(n): toothbrush in length
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: purple
Upcoming Appointments: ob on Friday and mfm scan on the 23rd
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): I’m in pain. I’m starting with the chiropractor tomorrow and I can’t wait. I’m craving lots of salty foods too.
Rants/Raves: we went grocery shopping at two stores yesterday and I couldn’t move by the time we got home. Dh sprayed the house for fleas. I’m giving the cats another dose of meds but I think we’ve beaten them.
Questions: Why can’t they just sell diaper bags with everything I want???
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Probably Spanish as it would be very useful. I’ve always wanted to learn Russian though.
@peppyj9 exciting your anatomy scan is tomorrow! Hope the belt helps you!
@MollySm choosing names is so hard! I hope you find one you like soon. Exciting yh is coming home! I couldn’t imagine 3 by yourself and pregnant. You’re a rockstar.
Baby is the size of a(n): My Little Pony (saw this in an e-mail today and as a child of the 80s/90s it resonated with me
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? My top international dream destinations are Italy and Germany, although I do know a touch of both of these languages due to highschool/college language courses, so I probably wouldn't pick them. Probably Spanish because it would be the most useful.

@marebear15 I have not had any specific cravings yet. I find I usually want whatever I see on tv, or someone suggests. I have heard that the intense cravings come more towards the end of pregnancy.
@cats_in_a_window & @MollySm I think opposite-sex sibling sharing is appropriate until the older child hits puberty. Same-sex, I'd think it's more about their ability to get along than the age gap. But, I'm a first-time mom, so take my advice with a big grain of salt, haha.
Baby is the size of a(n): Bunny rabbit? I don't know if this true, but I keep dreaming about taking care of rabbits.
Raves: We put an offer in on a house!!! We are so excited, just hoping everything works out and this time next month we'll be homeowners! And then the nesting can begin!
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Sign Language! I took a class in college but have forgotten most of it. It was fun!
@marebear15 I haven't had any like crazy cravings, but when someone suggests something (like tatertots) I can't get it out of my head until I get my hands on it. It's super weird.
@schreibaby my baby at 20+3 was 13oz. They didn't raise any sort of alarms at that. I think all of these are just "norms" and babies definitely have a range and can change depending on where their growth spurts are. But i'm a FTM so i'm just guessing LOL
EDD/Weeks + Days: 1/17 22+3
Baby is the size of a(n): coconut
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? German. DH has family still in germany and he can speak a little.

I have a friend in a similar situation as you with an oldest DD and 3 similarly aged boys after her. She has all 3 boys in a room together and the girl in her own room.
@stashattack OMG SAME WITH ME. I cannot make up my mind. Every time I read a new blog, or a new twin registry checklist or ask a mom friend I change my Amazon registry. LOL good thing my baby shower invites aren't even close to going out yet!
Baby is the size of a(n): Starbucks trenta cup
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? I can speak a bit of it, but my whole family is Italian and I just feel like it's part of me.

@FyreFlyeRush I can't believe that it's still getting up to 95 degrees. It's definitely feeling like fall in Oregon with lots of rain and cooler temps already. Seems like an early fall here.
@stashattack The thing about the couch and then not being able to sleep once you get ready for bed is so me!!! It's ridiculously annoying. If I'm tired and asleep on the couch why can't I go back to sleep?
@schreibaby Exciting about your new house!
@MrsJessS Hoping the move goes smoothly and that it is as stress free as possible. But also exciting you get a new provider. Your story has sounded pretty rough!
@amb0924 Not the dreaded glucose test. When all our hopes and dreams of eating sweets die
@catsinawindow how often do you get your thyroid checked. My doc only is doing it every 8 weeks or so but my numbers moved a lot in the wrong direction before the last draw and that made me nervous to go that long between again. The numbers themselves were within guidelines though so maybe I shouldn't be concerned.
@peppyj9 enjoy your scan tomorrow. It is seriously so cool!
@MollySm We are also struggling with a boy name!
@kbrown2385 Honestly i don't even know what I need in a diaper bag yet. It is such a frustrating buy!
Baby is the size of a(n): Endive (not really sure even what that is...)
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Spanish or Chinese. Spanish because it seems practical and chinese because my brother's girlfriend is from China originally and her parents speak mostly Mandarin. It would be nice to talk with them at some point!

@cats_in_a_window - I would say it's okay for girl/boy to share a room until one starts to hit pre-puberty. That could be 8 for some girls or closer to 10 or 11. It's when they start getting breast buds and mood swings about 2 years before their period starts.
@schreibaby - My DD1 measured 89 percentile at her anatomy scan but then she kept dropping percentiles each additional growth scan and came out at 41 weeks as a 8lb 4oz baby.
@stashattack - I keep changing my mind about baby stuff and I'm a STM 😂 You'll figure out what works for you, end up selling the stuff that doesn't and there's always Amazon Prime for those last minute things you thought you could deal without.
@MrsJessS - I had an anterior placenta with DD1 and there really wasn't anything different. I think I stuck out a little more because of that. Once she started kicking harder and stronger, I could definitely feel it everywhere.
@biolprof - Ugh, I'm sorry you're still dealing with throwing up. At least I haven't thrown up in several weeks.
I hope your scan goes well and you get some answers.

I've been getting my thyroid levels checked every 6 weeks throughout this pregnancy, but that's only because I have hypothyroidism and my TSH has been running high, so they've been adjusting my levothyroxine levels after each blood draw. Hopefully they'll be better after this draw since they were just a smidge high last time and I'm already at almost double the dose of levothyroxine than I was taking pre-pregnancy! Once they get my levels within range, I will only need them checked again in 3rd trimester, so every 8 weeks doesn't sound unreasonable to me if you've been testing within range the whole time.
@biolprof thinking about today. Never feel bad for ranting! We all need to get things off our chests, that's what we're here for.
Work got insane with a new hire this week. I'll come back and catch up with comments when I get a free minute.

Baby is the size of a(n): Coconut
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Sign Language! I've always been fascinated and have a goal to learn one day.
When I swelled at the end of my other pregnancies, I found Epson salt baths helped.
For the record I definitely don't have a VCI. There was beautiful cord insertion in the center of the placenta with no unprotected vessels so that's good for me I guess. But I empathize with you and what you are going through. I feel like I have such bad whiplash! Thinking of you!
@catsinawindow my BP is actually low LOL. Yesterday it was 101/56 so no worries there. I probably just ate a lot of sodium.
