We’ve really been slacking on weekly check ins lately😅 but I’ll do anything to avoid the ever growing pile of laundry in our bedroom right now. 

DD / Weeks + Days: 22+2

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Baby is the size of a (an): 🥥 

Team blue/pink/green: 🩷

Upcoming Appointments: glucose test in November 🙈 I need to check because I keep forgetting the date. 

How are you feeling?: pretty good. I feel like I can’t talk without losing my breath. Had round one of my annual review at work today and felt like I had run a marathon before! 

Rants/Raves: still haven’t picked a name for this baby🥲 we still have time but I’d love to settle on something. My mom came up last week and helped me get organized in our new house (we moved in July😅) which helped a bit! Still so much to do before baby arrives though. 

Questions: none

GTKY: since Halloween is this week, what are your normal Halloween plans (if you participate)? My daughter is going to dress up and since it’s our first year in the neighborhood figured we’d walk around early and see what the verdict is. Then we can settle back in and wait for trick or treaters to come to our house!

FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

Baby is the size of a (an): banana

Team blue/pink/green: Pink

Upcoming Appointments: OB anatomy scan 11/12

How are you feeling?: This week has been hard- I’m so exhausted 

Rants/Raves: My specialist made a scheduling mistake, so I have to wait another two weeks for the anatomy scan. I’ve been anxious about it, and unsure if I’m feeling the baby move or not, and was really looking forward to the appointment.

Questions: Any tricks for reigning in the first time pregnant anxiety? I feel like the more I read, the more anxious I get, and my husband is supportive but also reached the “it’ll be fine” stage. Maybe I just need to meditate 😂

GTKY: Halloween skeleton shirt, with a tiny baby girl- it was fun ❤️

@babyroo2025 anxiety during pregnancy is such a pain, I'm sorry your AS appt is delayed. And depending on your placenta location, movements might be harder to feel. My first movements feel like bubbles or flutters (sometimes hard to tell the difference from gas lol), then a couple weeks later I get little jabs. I tend to feel the most movement if I lie down after drinking some water or eating something sweet.
