EDD/W+D: March 8, 17+3

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

Baby is the size of a(n): Pomegranate 

Upcoming appts: Oct 23 - anatomy scan! 

How are you feeling?: I've got a cold, which is the pits. Honestly, there's quite a bit you can do (Zyrtec, Tylenol, neti pot, tea, honey, gargling, warm baths with epsom salt, etc.), but it still feels terrible and achy and I can't really hear atm. However, nausea has pretty much disappeared and I've been sleeping well, so not all bad. And I'm 90% sure I've been feeling movement for the last couple weeks, which is awesome.  

Cravings/Aversions: Not really. I had a bit of an aversion to hot beverages, but I'm back on the tea and not hungrier than usual. 

Rants/Raves/Questions: I feel like I'm always raving about my husband, but he's kind of the best. While I slept in this morning before work he took out the trash, emptied the dishwasher, took the dog on a walk, and brought me tea in bed. And I know he's pulling out all the stops since I feel like warmed over death, but he's basically always like this.  

Rant...normally I love everything about my company, but we're arbitrarily switching insurance plans and two coworkers are being forced to switch their OBs/delivery hospitals like...two months before delivery. I'm not on our plan, but feel very indignant on their behalf. 

GTKY: What's your favorite/least favorite chore? I'm naturally neat, and husband is even cleaner than I am, and I'm almost always happy to clean. Nothing that I really hate doing, except maybe mowing the lawn (which I never do anyways).

EDD/W+D: 3/3/20. 18 wks +1

Team finding out/pink/blue/green: pink- found out as part of the npt screening

Baby is the size of a(n): disposable camera😂

Upcoming appts: 10/14 for the anatomy scan

How are you feeling?:  Not as energetic as I was hoping I'd be. After terrible nausea the first trimester I was looking forward to the energy boost I had hear about but feeling pretty sluggish.

Cravings/Aversions: 
I haven't had cravings per say but more like I see it and therefore I want it. I see cereal on a commercial and next time I go out, I have to buy cereal

Rants/Raves/Questions:
Not a rant or rave but as a first time mom, I'm not showing very much and have had people mention it. Therefore I get worried if I should be bigger by now. 

GTKY: What's your favorite/least favorite chore?
Putting anything away! We split the chores and so I do the dishes he puts away etc

@aw245, I totally feel you in the lack of a bump. I’ve heard from lots of people that when it pops (usually 20+ weeks), it pops fast and obvious. Would be nice not to get the “is she or has she just been eating too many bagels?” look 👀

@aw245 with my first I did not show until after 25 weeks- the constant comments were so annoying. I had a perfectly healthy pregnancy and baby. This time I looked about 7 months pregnant at 7 weeks and guess what, I keep getting comments on how big I am. Cannot win!

EDD/W+D: March 4th, 18-0

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

Baby is the size of a(n): Sling shot? Last week was a playstation controller

Upcoming appts: Anatomy scan on monday!

How are you feeling?: After being diagnosed with HG at 8 weeks(throwing up 22 plus times a day until week 16) and having a huge placenta lake I am finally feeling 100% and enjoying being pregnant, it is such a relief and I hope everyone gets there soon!

Cravings/Aversions: Nothing really strong but I am so hungry all the time

Rants/Raves/Questions: Getting kind of nervous about becoming a family of 4, our son is 6.5 and am starting to feel the stress of "starting over." It will be nice to have him help out and understand what is going on, but I feel like I have forgotten everything about the baby stage.

GTKY: What's your favorite/least favorite chore? I love "picking up" and wiping my counters haha Absolutely hate doing dishes

EDD/W+D: March 7, 17+4

Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Team pink! Can't. Stop. Looking. At. Baby. Headbands.

Baby is the size of a(n): As tall as a Hershey bar

Upcoming appts: 20 week ultrasound on the 18th then checkup a week later

How are you feeling?: I feel bad complaining since I'm waaaay better than during first tri, but still have headaches and now my back is starting to hurt. Also waiting for the burst of 2nd tri energy too @aw245

Cravings/Aversions: I had the biggest craving for twice baked potatoes tonight so I had to make them for dinner. They were so good!! Here's the recipe if this craving hits you too!   https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/mini-twice-baked-potatoes-2698325

Rants/Raves/Questions: A rant, but feeling shallow about it. I'm definitely showing which is exciting, but my belly button like, splits my bump in half? Lol I don't even know if that makes sense. The top of my belly is rounded, and so is the bottom, but it is not rounded at my belly button. Hoping I'll "pop" more soon so it looks more like what I think a bump should be!

GTKY: What's your favorite/least favorite chore? Putting away laundry, I have a huge pile on our bed right now that I'll probably put back in the laundry basket because I don't feel like putting it away... again.

@pdx2020 *lurking from group 2* No problem! I went a little thread happy yesterday because I missed everyone!
Also, my husband could learn a thing or two from yours. Jealous!

@lemonlove86 I totally know what you mean with the belly button. I had photos from last pregnancy where you can see a huge crater around my belly button through some clothes. Ugh. But it kind of flattened out near the end.

EDD/W+D: March 3, 18+2

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

Baby is the size of a(n): artichoke 

Upcoming appts: Checkup tomorrow, anatomy on the 16th!

How are you feeling?: I feel good! Sometimes I get cramps, pretty sure mild Braxton Hicks. I haven’t been sleeping much but that is mostly because of my allergies. I’m disappointed I can’t enjoy the sleep while I have the chance.

Cravings/Aversions: I’ve been and still am craving cereal! I seriously want nothing else.

Rants/Raves/Questions: Rave... I’ve been feeling baby move for a few weeks now and this week I’ve been able to feel her with my hand!! Sometimes I can poke her and she’ll poke back, it’s so fun. But rant- anytime my husband tried to feel she stops. He probably thinks I’m crazy lol

GTKY: What's your favorite/least favorite chore? I’m a weirdo that loves cleaning 😂 vacuuming is my fave.... I HATE doing the dishes.

also, @lemonlove86 +1 on the belly situation. I can’t wait for this girl to move higher. I look like I have a crazy pooch!
