Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: an onion
Upcoming appointments: Next Friday is my anatomy scan
How are you feeling?: Good, most days I don’t even really feel pregnant except for being a bit more hormonal
Rants/Raves:
Questions:
GTKY: What is you and your SO’s song or what was your “first dance” wedding song? Our first dance song was “You Belong to Me” by Jason Wade
Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: Aug 4/18+5
Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out:
Green but getting weak. MH won't be at anatomy scan so I'm worried I might crack.
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Artichoke.
Upcoming appointments:
16th for anatomy scan, follow up with OB and GP on the 18th
How are you feeling?:
Pretty good. My back and hips are starting to be sore. Should probably get a pregnancy pillow asap. But I just bought a new mattress so hopefully that helps.
Rants/Raves: NATM
Questions:NATM
GTKY: What is you and your SO’s song or what was your “first dance” wedding song?
We didn't have a first dance or song. We probably jam together most to like Britney Spears or something like that.
"Stand By Me" was both our "song" and our first dance song.
Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 8/6 so 18+3

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Artichoke, I think? The food ones don't really make sense....
Upcoming appointments: Anatomy scan next week + a regular appt. They changed their policy and DW can't come anymore and I'm very sad about it.
How are you feeling?: More aches and pains for sure. Very hormonal and crying at everything. Headaches have eased up a lot, maybe from the Cefaly? I use it daily for prevention. So that's made a world of difference.
Rants/Raves: Should be closing on our house on Friday!!
Questions:
GTKY: What is you and your SO’s song or what was your “first dance” wedding song? At the wedding I think it was Ho Hey by The Lumineers but our song is The Way I am by Ingrid Michaelson - DW wrote a version of it and learned ukulele to propose to me.
@claireloSC we love The Way I am! We used it for our wedding save the date video. That sounds like the sweetest proposal story...I feel like this needs to be a GTKY.

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Mango
Upcoming appointments: Anatomy Scan on March 15th
How are you feeling?: Mostly good. I did throw up a couple to days ago, but that was surprising. I'm not feeling anything I can identify as movement, and my belly is not very big, so it still doesn't feel real to me some days.
Rants/Raves: MH is allowed to come to the anatomy scan, which I am very happy about. But, on that note, Texas is going a little crazy right now with lifting the mask mandate and fully re-opening, so I am getting messages from every business I interact with regarding where they stand on requiring masks and limiting visitors. I just hope this doesn't all go south and there aren't even MORE restrictions needed by the time my due date comes around.
Questions:
GTKY: What is you and your SO’s song or what was your “first dance” wedding song? We didn't have dancing at our wedding due to us both growing up in crazy conservative religious circles where dancing is not allowed. (we don't adhere to this system anymore, but all of our family does, so that's how the wedding was.) But I guess our "song" is "Here to Mars" by Coheed and Cambria because that's our favorite band, and whenever we hear it at their concert or are just playing their stuff at home, we stop and dance together.
Edited because I forgot to include baby's size.
@claireloSC congrats on closing on your house! So exciting. 🍾

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Pomegranate
Upcoming appointments: AS March 17! They count that as my monthly appt.
How are you feeling?: feeling fine pregnancy wise however I keep getting styes on my eyes! These have to be pregnancy related because I’ve never had them before but they are painful! I also have to wear contacts because my eyesight is terrible in my very old glasses I have an eye appt in a week and plan to ask the doc about them then.
Rants/Raves: spring is here and I’m loving the weather! I also have the spring cleaning and organizing bug.
Questions: what do y’all do with your non maternity clothes during pregnancy and postpartum? Cleaning out my closet I realized I’m not going to wear 90% of this stuff for a while. It seems foolish to keep it hanging for a year when I’m not going to touch it.
GTKY: What is you and your SO’s song or what was your “first dance” wedding song? Jameson Parker ‘Lies Lies Lies’. The title is unfortunate (in the context of your first dance song) but it is a great song. Also ‘Everlong’ by The Foo Fighters.
I hope you get some relief soon, they are so uncomfortable!

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Cucumber
Upcoming appointments: Thursday the 11th is my checkup (had to move it because my son's teacher got COVID and he's been in quarantine at home) and my anatomy scan is the 19th
How are you feeling?: A little nauseous if I eat anything too sweet and still pretty tired. Some hip pain but overall pretty good compared to how the first trimester went.
Rants/Raves: My son's teacher (he's in kindergarten) tested positive for COVID last week. My son got his PCR test and it was negative but we've still been quarantining. We're doing remote learning now until the 15th and doing that plus working full time and taking care of my two year old has been tiring. I don't know how people did this for months at the end of the last school year.
Questions:
GTKY: What is you and your SO’s song or what was your “first dance” wedding song? Our first dance was to "It's Your Love" by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. I'm not a big country person but he really liked that song. We also did a last song of the night and it was the song I wanted (that he didnt want because it was too long and he's kind of shy and doesn't like the spotlight) "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. I really consider both of them our songs.
hope your sty goes away soon.
