Any other Group 1's out there? Been posting in Group 2 because my original EDD was 3/10 and have been hanging out there- but don't be shy early March-ers!

EDD/W+D: March 7th, 16+2

Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Team pink!

Baby is the size of a(n): Eclair

Upcoming appts: Friday! Just a checkup, I think. Haven't heard baby's heartbeat yet, just have seen the flickering on US, so looking forward to the doppler (hopefully!) Friday.

How are you feeling?: Seem to have the headache routine down (fluids and Tylenol), but starting to get leg cramps. Trying to go for a walk every day and stay hydrated, which will also hopefully help with back pain.

Cravings/Aversions: Great question because barely anything sounds good to eat! Been slacking at meal prep. Craving anything sour and carby.

Rants/Raves/Questions: Feeling super thankful for the Product Spotlight boards- just starting to think about our registry and still feeling overwhelmed with the millions of options for everything, but have been able to narrow down items in some categories because of the boards!

GTKY: Happy Fall! What's your favorite autumn activity? I love walking around outside in the fall air, looking at the leaves change colors. Fall is my favorite season, and hopefully we'll have a good fall in the midwest this year instead of summer that turns into winter! DH and I have gone apple picking for the last few years and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't more excited about the donuts than the apples this year.

@lemonlove86, me! I bump from my phone, so honestly the number of people in Group 2 is a little overwhelming. Too many tags 😳 

EDD/W+D: March 8, 16+1

Team finding out/pink/blue/green: 💚

Baby is the size of a(n): CD, 🥑, or dill pickle

Upcoming appts: Not until Oct 23, for the anatomy app. Just had one on Friday and got to hear the heartbeat on the Doppler. You’ll get a big kick out of it, @lemonlove86! 

How are you feeling?: Pretty good. No major symptoms ATM. Still no real bump, but like maternity jeans and have really been feeling good after prenatal yoga 🧘🏼‍♀️ 

Cravings/Aversions: No aversions, and most of my cravings are for sushi, pop, and ice cream. Which is totally normal, except for the pop. 

Rants/Raves/Questions: Not rant, but I started TTC around the same time as one of my best friends and she’s been awesome and supportive and I feel so bad when she tells me every month that AF came. She also works as a prenatal and newborn photographer. Ugh, I wish there was anything I could do!

GTKY: Happy Fall! What's your favorite autumn activity? Apple picking, watching football, baking. Ahh, fall. Best season!

Yay, happy to meet two more people at about my exact same stage in pregnancy!

EDD/W+D: March 8, 16+1! Same as you @pdx2020!

Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Pink 💕

Baby is the size of a: Avocado (getting so big!) 🥑

Upcoming appts: Oct. 15 for anatomy scan. I just had an appointment last week and heard the heartbeat, which was so fun! Also, tests came back negative for neural tube defects, so very happy about that! 😊

How are you feeling?: Decent. I had a really rough first trimester, and still am getting sick a couple times a week. Also, still waiting for that second tri jolt of energy. 

Cravings/aversions: I’ve had cravings for chow mien, pizza, mashed potatoes, McDonald’s cheeseburgers, all the unhealthy food I can think of basically! Except for apples. I eat multiple honeycrisp apples a day! Aversions to salads, yogurt, mint and curry and anything spicy. 🤢

Rants/raves/questions: Work has been so busy lately. Working late, over the weekend, etc. I don’t want to put my career on hold or get any special treatment because I’m pregnant, but also I am so tired! I just am really excited for work to slow down a little so I can give more energy to my family and pregnancy. 

GTKY: Happy Fall! What’s your favorite autumn activity? I love fall!! It’s my favorite season. I love enjoying the change of colors, cooler weather and sweaters, fall candles, Halloween and scary movies, I could go on. Plus, it’ll be my me and my husband’s first wedding anniversary 🥰
