Upcoming Appointments: NIPT and NT scan Thursday
How are you feeling?: meh! Recovering from Covid still, that was rough. Still weak and tired, but I’m a lot better than I was. 
Rants/Raves: it’s almost 10am and I’m still in bed, dreading opening my work laptop and seeing all the emails from last week.
GTKY: What movie can you watch over and over and it never gets old? Hmmm tough one. I generally only watch movies and tv shows once. Same with books. There are too many out there to keep watching the same ones! That said, I have seen Paris, Texas a few times and it always holds up.

GTKY: What movie can you watch over and over and it never gets old? I used to re-watch all of the Harry Potter movies each summer but haven’t done that for a while.

@kraane I totally support your annual rewatching of Harry Potter. I reread the books to my son last summer before his nap until the books started getting too heavy to hold one handed and we started listening to the audiobooks.

@etnyah I hope the email avalanche wasn't too awful. 
@returning_bump_member The Princess Bride IS a true classic! 
@kraane I don't think I'll ever get enough of Harry Potter movies. Regardless of all the BS that JKR has since been embroiled in. 

FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

EDD/Weeks+Days: Apr 1 / 13w4d 

Baby is the size of: 3 in

Team blue/pink/green: Team "we're keeping it to ourselves" (although H was a little loose-lipped this weekend at camping)

Upcoming Appointments: week of Oct 11 I've got an appointment with a new OB + midwife (still trying to see which one suits me best). Otherwise, just my weekly check-in with my RI tomorrow and I think that might be my penultimate one. 

How are you feeling?: I'm actually feeling bad. I had a bad episode last week, after stopping taking B6 and forgetting to take a Unisom at night, but I went camping this weekend and had NO issues. I honestly can't believe at how well I'm feeling. I'm sure I'll pay for it eventually. 

Rants/Raves: Officially in the 2nd trimester! Getting here really feels good. We had our weekly u/s today and baby was doing great. We then announced to a larger friend group on Slack and then I told my former housemates as well. Feeling a little more sure that this thing is happening of course there are still dark fears lurking in the background. I won't be doing a big SM announcement. We also have yet to tell FIL/SMIL, BIL/SIL, my own sister and her family but we're waiting for birthdays / visits for that, for bigger impact. That'll all happen within the next month. I can't wait to show up to the airport to pick up my sister and see her reaction. LOL. I'm running a betting pool if she'll think I'm fat or preggo. Hahaha. (I wouldn't put it past my sis to think/say the former). 

GTKY: What movie can you watch over and over and it never gets old? Die Hard series at Christmas. Obviously.

FTM/STM/TTM+:  TTM

EDD/Weeks+Days:  13+4

Baby is the size of: Lemon

Team blue/pink/green:  green!  We found out with the other 2, so this one we want to be (even more) surprised 

Upcoming Appointments:  Oct 7 for NIPT and my first prenatal appointment lol, and also a separate appointment for surgery follow up the same day

How are you feeling?:  good, just sore from surgery, pretty darn sure I'm feeling baby move already, or it's all in my head

Rants/Raves:  we are waiting until after NIPT to tell anyone just to be sure

GTKY: What movie can you watch over and over and it never gets old?  Honestly, I get pretty bored.  My husband made me watch the 4-8 HP movies a million times.  I love HP but that made me really not want to watch them anymore for a LONG time.  I'm with @etnyah, there is so much out there, i would rather watch new stuff.

etnyah

@scaredunprepared I also think I’ve felt movements already! It seems crazy early but those taps are so recognizable. I was not expecting that, it took me so long to feel anything last time.

acleverusername

@etnyah do you know if you gave anterior or posterior placenta this time vs last time? I have the anterior variety and was told it will take a LOOOOOONG time before I feel the baby. 

@scaredunprepared welcome to our small Group!

etnyah

@acleverusername yes! I had an anterior placenta last time and posterior this time, so I do think that has something to do with it, as well as knowing what to feel for now. My son was extremely active so once I started feeling his kicks they never stopped. I don’t remember when though, but closer to week 18-20 or so! This one’s still too tiny that I’m second guessing if I feel it or not, but some movements I’m 100% sure it’s baby.

@acleverusername I had anterior last time and I definitely didn't feel kicks til like week 20ish. Not sure what I have this time but dr said even if it's anterior again I'll likely feel kicks sooner just bc I'm not a FTM so I'll know what it feels like/what to expect
