Re: Weekly Check-In: Week of 12/12/22
EDD / Weeks + Days: May 5 / 19W3D
Baby is the size of a: peanut butter jar (are we talking sample size? Costco size?)
Team blue/pink/green: finding out Thursday!!
Upcoming Appointments: anatomy scan on Thursday
How are you feeling?: I think being pregnant turned my cold into a sinus infection. I NEVER get sinus infections and I've had one for the last two weeks.
Rants/Raves: DD is waking up at night when she has to go potty, which is great that she's listening to her body instead of peeing herself...but not great for DH and I's sleep schedule.
Questions: Who else is still getting headaches? I haven't had a migraine since first tri, but on Sunday night I had an awful headache that I think was due to dehydration + sinus infection + too much cured meat
GTKY: What celebrity have you been told that you look like? Place a picture of them in a spoiler if you can find one! I've gotten a few different ones in the past, but the latest one I heard was that I look like Victoria Pedretti from You. I kind of see it, and my smile looks like hers at the right angle.
EDD / Weeks + Days: 6/2 - 15+3
Baby is the size of a: "a small bag of salad" - super descriptive
Team blue/pink/green: pink!
Upcoming Appointments: not until 1/4. Not soon enough.
How are you feeling?: I've been feeling like shit all weekend. Enough that I'm considering calling my OB. Just terrible headaches and weird lightheadedness. I just generally feel off and foggy in a way I haven't before.
Rants/Raves: For my birthday I asked my H for a night alone at a hotel, which was last Friday night. It was AMAZING. I highly recommend. Being able to do whatever I wanted to do or felt like doing was wild.
Questions: I know there's been some talk of at home dopplers, but does anyone have a specific link? What's the resale value like?
GTKY: What celebrity have you been told that you look like? Place a picture of them in a spoiler if you can find one! When I was like 13 I was told I look like Kirsten Dunst but I think that's wrong
EDD / Weeks + Days: May 12, 18w3d
Baby is the size of a: bell pepper
Team blue/pink/green: blue
Upcoming Appointments: Anatomy scan 12/19
How are you feeling?: I FEEL LIKE POOP STILL! The nausea and fatigue. Why. I do have some days where I feel good and there has been an overall improvement but I am just frustrated because with my prior pregnancies I felt like 100 bucks after first tri.
Rants/Raves: see above about my rant. Rave: Typically I go crazy during this season filling our calenders with party after party, event after event. I have realized over time that its quantity over quality and really cut back and its working for us. I feel way less stressed and actually get to enjoy my kiddos.
Questions: none
GTKY: What celebrity have you been told that you look like? Place a picture of them in a spoiler if you can find one! I think I have a really common face because I have heard "you look like _______" with a lot of actresses, and usually I dont even know who they are. Lately its been the main character from the queen on netflix. Which I haven't watched but maybe can see the resemblance with the whole blue eyes, dark hair thing.
EDD / Weeks + Days: 5/5, 19W3D
Baby is the size of a: PB jar. I had the same questions as @hestia-is-wearie. What size jar are we talking about here??
Team blue/pink/green: finding out
Upcoming Appointments: anatomy scan 12/22 and it can’t come soon enough! I’m getting SO impatient
How are you feeling?: Not bad, some days I’m full of energy (until like 8pm and then I crash lol) and other days I’m a blob.
Rants/Raves: rant - I foolishly decided a year ago that I should paint all of our wood trim white, and it turns out it’s the most tedious thing ever so it’s taking me absolutely ages to do. I was trying to finish up the living room before we have guests this weekend but something about it made me feel lightheaded so I had to stop. I even cleared that it was ok to be doing with my doctor, so I’m just annoyed I only have primer on the last two doorways and that’s probably the way it’s going to be for quite a while. (My husband is a terrible painter and he hates it, so painting is decidedly my job.)
Questions: none atm
GTKY: What celebrity have you been told that you look like? Place a picture of them in a spoiler if you can find one!
I’ve never been told I look like a celebrity I don’t think, but I get “have we met before?” And “you look just like my old English/history teacher” ALL the time. Familiar face in a stereotypical word nerd way I guess!
EDD / Weeks + Days: May 6; 19 + 2 (totally just had to correct this from 18 lol)
Baby is the size of a: mango, which seems smaller than last weeks cucumber but hey.
Team blue/pink/green: T minus 6 days til we find out!
Upcoming Appointments: anatomy scan on Monday
How are you feeling?: hungry.
Rants/Raves: stupid kid stole my granola bar for my afternoon snack at school today so I am STARVING until I can get home and make something. But yay- 4 more days til 2 weeks off.
Questions:

Team blue/pink/green: Blue
Upcoming Appointments: 12/19 with my reg baby dr., I had one today (12/12) with my high risk dr.

Rants/Raves: I’m not on bed rest yet! My cervix is doing its job this time yay progesterone!
Questions: None

I can’t remember, it was in my late teens early 20s I would get a comment here and there but I am the worst at remembering celebrity names 😬

Rants/Raves: Shipped off Xmas gifts to family across the country today, and glad to have that done (and in time). Two people were really nice and helped me when they saw me struggling with the huge box plus the three year old.
Questions: nope
GTKY: What celebrity have you been told that you look like? Place a picture of them in a spoiler if you can find one! I’ve been told Judy Greer, which was very flattering, but I’m not convinced I actually look like her so much as give off best friend in a rom com energy. 😅
Questions: wondering about things I can do for pain relief other than otc pills during long road trips and long periods of walking or standing?
EDD / Weeks + Days: May 16 18w 1d
Baby is the size of an: artichoke
Team blue/pink/green: blue
Upcoming Appointments: not until end of the month for AS!
How are you feeling?: Still exhausted. It's been a crazy few moths. I am taking PTO 20th-29th and am just so burnt out with work I need the break. Regardless, that second trimester energy has yet to hit!
Rants/Raves: Rave, I got to have dinner with friends last night, which was awesome. Rant, my youngest has a double ear infection and is just miserable poor guy.
Questions: NATM
GTKY: What celebrity have you been told that you look like? Place a picture of them in a spoiler if you can find one! So, anyone random with red hair haha. But in high school, at summer camp, I always got told I looked like Katerine Heigel, they called me Izzy Stevens ( I think that's who she was in Grey's Anatomy) but I don't see it.
@megh061816 green is for those waiting to find out until baby is born! We've had a few long road trips/flights when pregnant. I always take lots of breaks when driving to walk around. Drink lots of water. Wear compression socks.
