    Coconut size?

    Nothing really coming up soon for me. DD2 has an ENT appointment to check tonsils/adenoids

    Feeling really worn out. The kids are at home again this week due to covid at daycare. I'm just crossing my fingers we can make it to the weekend without losing our minds

    Rave: I have a hair appointment on Thursday and I'm sooooooooo looking forward to it!!!
    Rant: we have a meeting to discuss a long term solution for the position I'm partially covering, I told them I didn't have time to do it but was voluntold and I don't have a ton of hope that much will get resolved at this meeting

    GTKY: 🤮🤮🤮 that question is terrible I can't pick

    How far along are you? (Weeks + Days): 20+4

    FTM/STM/STM+: FTM

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a microphone!

    Upcoming appointments: Wednesday for the anatomy scan. So excited, but so nervous! 

    How are you feeling?: Pretty good. Starting to have more trouble sleeping.

    Rants/Raves: Today is my first day back from vacation. Vacation was amazing, but going through my inbox is not...

    Questions: 

    GTKY: Would you rather have to eat a bowl full of live crickets or a bowl full of live worms? Hmmm, I think crickets...the guts of the worms do not sound at all appetizing. The crunch of the crickets might mask the taste of the guts? Also, at T-mobile park where the Mariners play, you can buy toasted crickets as a snack!

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a banana? 

    Upcoming appointments: Today! 

    How are you feeling?: pretty good other than the heartburn 

    Rants/Raves: Just finished my ultrasound and the tech said everything looks great so hoping the doc confirms this! 

    Questions:

    GTKY: Would you rather have to eat a bowl full of live crickets or a bowl full of live worms? Gross. 😝

    @moguippy I feel huge also like I don’t know how I’m going to grow larger for 20 more weeks.

    @moguippy I am huge this time too! I looked at pictures from my first pregnancy and I look like I did at 7 months pregnant. My husband even referred to me as huge last week 😆 in the only loving way possible. My skin is so itchy and stretched already. I have new stretch marks already...so I don’t know how I’ll get to February.

    @babymamadimo it doesn’t help that I wasn’t that big with my first. I’ve also gained more weight this time so that’s not helping either. 

    @mdfarmchick maybe that’s it. This kiddo is measuring a little larger than my first. My bump was also massive last night and seems to be a little more in check this morning. 

    @birdiejo right?!  Like I don’t want to grow that much more but I still have 4+ more months!

    Glad you all are enjoying the GTKY question 🤣

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Endive

    Upcoming appointments: not until mid October

    How are you feeling?: I overdid it today since I had off but my son’s preschool was still open. Too much errand running and switching over to winter clothes. Now I’m burnt out. It’s so tough not being able to do as much physically as I want to get done!

    Rants/Raves: Rave: Okay, so I know in the other post I said I originally wanted a Halo Bassinest and then flip flopped to the Arm’s Reach co-sleeper. But I was at our baby/kid consignment store today and saw they had two Halo Bassinests, so I tested out the wobbliness that everyone was commenting about. Maybe it’s the newest model that everyone is complaining about, but this thing would not budge. I even had my DH press down as hard as he could and it didn’t move. So of course, I bought it bc I couldn’t beat the price! It’s the basic one without the vibration option, but I figure if baby hates it, I won’t feel bad buying something else after since I spent so little on it (also I promptly washed the mattress cover and sprayed the rest down with Lysol the second I got home).

    Questions: none

    GTKY: Would you rather have to eat a bowl full of live crickets or a bowl full of live worms? I think I actually would go with the worms and just slurp them like noodles maybe? I promise I won’t do a gross question again next week, just wanted to switch it up! 🤢

    @mdfarmchick also have not publicly announced 😂 it's so weird because I just don't see anyone so it hasn't come up! I don't do Facebook announcements 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think I'll send a group chat to friends 10/1 with a pic of me in my pregnant skeleton costume. My boss (and maybe a couple higher ups?) know though because I had a 1 on 1 annual review with him and I thought it would be weird to not say something.

    I haven’t publicly announced but we’re doing professional fam pics for the first time ever towards the end of October so if one turns out cute I’ll probably post it somewhere.

    @babyturtle22 If you're still undecided when you go in, you could always have them put it in an envelope for you to buy you some more time.

    @WildMagelet that's a good idea! Although I feel like if I decide to do that, I'm basically deciding to find out because I doubt I won't be able to look at it for the next 4 months unless I rip it up and throw it out 🤣

    At my practice I was the only one of my obgyns patients not finding out. I thought I wouldn’t be able to hold out but it’s been easier than I imagined!

    @earlgrey_honey I'm sorry your doctor was an ass hat and I hope you can get some constructive guidance from someone that knows how to talk to people

    @earlgrey_honey Ugh, that’s so rude of that doctor. I gained too much with DS, and my ob was such a jackass about it. I switched to another ob in the same practice, and he was still up front about my weight gain, but made me feel like he was in my team and that we could get to the bottom of it, rather than making me feel like I was the issue. Hopefully you can have that kind of feedback soon instead of this useless feedback that you got so far. I’m sorry. :(

    @manditchka24 this is our third and DH and I would have been really bummed if he wasn't allowed at the US, totally valid feelings and I hope they give you some extra pictures to make up for it ❤️
    ETA: you could try asking about video chat

    @manditchka24 that's super frustrating that your husband can't come to the scan. I would be upset too. They should let you facetime him at least or video tape it. Try to think of all the other things he will be a part of once the baby gets here 💚

    @manditchka24 That does really suck. Especially since you know it's safer for the hospital to have you + your DS there than it is to have some of those employees there. Big side eye to those healthcare workers who are so flippant about this pandemic. I could say lots of negative things about them (one of my H's office staff members is similar to that and I can't stand it). Hopefully the hospital allows you to FaceTime it! That was our backup plan if H wasn't allowed in.

    Thanks for all the supportive words! We can FaceTime. It will be fine. Just needed to vent and allow myself to acknowledge the disappointment, but I’m also so looking forward to seeing her tomorrow!

    Thanks @hannahbananas11 and @manditchka24 My normal doctor is really cool about everything. Im going to have to do something though my stamina is the pits now. Going to try biking or walking 30-40 minutes a day.

    @earlgrey_honey walking is great exercise! It also helps later in pregnancy to get the baby in a good birthing position. Bonus!

    Mango-ish

    Had my first ultrasound this morning (spoiler, team pink! for the third time!) and they want me to go back next Thursday to double check my cervix (I had a cerclage with my first). I also have my normal doc appt earlier that morning. 

    Feeling good. The kids are still in school and thriving well. I've been walking 5 days a week at the local park and skating on and off while my doc says I still can. 

    Rave: Our 12yr wedding anniversary is Oct 18th and we have a sitter so we can get a date night (second night out for the year and first anniversary in 3 or 4 yrs where we have a sitter and it's not just all of us going to dinner then back home). 
    Rant: We never go out, with or without the kids, so with our anniversary coming up, we have no plans (yet?) but definitely want to go. 

    GTKY: Ew. But crickets.
