1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most?
Yes - yesterday!! I loved seeing the features of our babys face and seeing how big he (I think) has become since the last scan!
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling?
Feeling great - I am really enjoying pregnancy! I believe in eating everything in moderation in pregnancy and I am loving the freedom of not feeling guilty for eating. I am such a foodie but usually restrict myself to 'clean' foods ever in pursuit of the body beautiful!! I gain weight so easily!!
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far?
Seeing my belly grow and feeling little movements which I'm sure are baby!
4. Least favorite part?
Can't say I dislike anything about pregnancy so far - I just feel really lucky!!
5. Team Pink/Blue/Green?
We are team green but I and everyone around me is convinced I am carrying a baby boy!! But we will see!! I love the suspense!!
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? Tomorrow at 8am!!!
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling? Exhausted. Still having awful bouts of morning/all day sickness my allergies are going nuts, too!
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? I'm not going to lie, this one has been tough. Having a toddler is all new territory. I guess my favorite part is the fact that this is a rainbow baby for me
4. Least favorite part? NON STOP exhaustion. I literally am struggling to get through the day only to stare at the ceiling most of the night.
1. Anatomy scan was a two-parter. Couldn't get good pix of heart, stomach or bladder first time. My favourite part of both was either the forced relaxation of laying in a dimly lit room with white noise or peeing afterwards!
2. I've had very little for symptoms. Feeling great most of the time. I get tired easier and winded faster.
3. Favourite part of pregnancy is the love my husband is showing me. I ask him for help and he helps. Massage and he massages. Lotion and he lotions. He's been very attentitive and picking up the slack.
4. Least favourite was the first trimester diarrhea or the second trimester heartburn. Digestion issues always suck.
5. We are team blue! The first grandchild to carry on the family name into a fourth generation. All the other ones so far have different last names. We've got a boy being born to the only boy born to the only boy to have kids to the oldest surviving member. Great Grandma is super excited!
1. A/S is this Thursday- been waiting since 12 weeks!!! I'm most looking forward to seeing that cute nose again I saw in 12 week scan!!
2. Thankful M/S went away around 12 week mark! No nausea now- but can't eat too much The only symptoms now are moodiness (been since a few weeks before I found out I'm pregnant), headaches, and fatigue.
3. Starting to feel the baby move since 19 weeks.
4. Headaches. Fatigue better go away before I start my new job (requires me to be on my feet).
5. Will find out in 1 1/2 days!!! We are happy with either, wanting a HEALTHY baby. We have first name ready for either, we finally agreed on both last night!
. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most? No not yet 2. Symptom check! How are you feeling? Fine tbh lol
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Finding out the gender!!
4. Least favorite part? The back pain and weight gain!
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most? Had it this morning! My favorite part was seeing baby wave at us and move around. The u/s tech was also amused by him pulling/grabbing at his manhood ;-). She said that was his only toy in there, haha. I also posted on another thread that baby is measuring 1 lb 1 oz, while the tech said the avg would be about 12 oz. That has me a bit terrified, but the doc isn't concerned, so I'm trying to keep emotions in check. 2. Symptom check! How are you feeling? Mostly well. My tendinitis has flared up in one of my ankles, as I walk about 5 days a wk on the treadmill on an incline. I've had a little back pain, but not too bad. And many days, I'm very uncomfortable by the end of the day...my stomach feels like it could explode! I'm also drinking 100-120 oz of water a day, so I pee about 100-120 times a day, haha. 3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Baby movement, eating all the cheese fries, my husband's excitement over the whole process (he's going to be a great daddy!) 4. Least favorite part? Weight gain from baby and all the cheese fries. I'm up 16 pounds as of today, but tomorrow I could be back down some...who knows. The doc hasn't expressed any concern over weight gain, and I'm always terrified of going to the doc and having him/her tell me I'm getting too fat bc I might have to smack someone and prob cry. The tendinitis is obnoxious bc I don't like missing workouts...they are what (semi) allow me to eat all the cheese fries... 5. Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team blue! I didn't really have a preference, but my husband is super excited that he's getting his boy, as the family name would have "died" w him if we had all girls (this is our first).
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? Yes we've actually had two and will go back to the perinatologist at 23 weeks to check out the heart.
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling? I'm feeling well. a little back pain and some headaches but overall not bad
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? I'm just so happy to actually be pregnant and have what so far appears to be a healthy baby. we've been trying for no. 2 for so long I almost can't believe we are where we are.
4. Least favorite part? Not wanting to eat anything. Feeling sick full all the time.
I thought it would be fun to complete a questionnaire/checkpoint once we reach 20 weeks (or your approx halfway point if you have a scheduled C), kind of like the ticker change posts. I'm 20 weeks today & feeling excited!
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most?
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling?
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far?
4. Least favorite part?

1. No, we have our scan friday. Just hoping to for a clean scan, happy to see him wiggle around.
2. Still have m/s, though it has improved some. Here recently I have been very uncomfortable at night.
3. I've noticed more baby movement in the last few days, which is fun.
4.ahem.. most of it. I am not one of those that enjoys being pregnant lol
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most? No, it's scheduled for this Friday. I'm looking forward to making sure baby girl is ok and maybe seeing some more of her features too!
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling? Great! I'm not feeling preggos at all. In fact, I'm hardly showing (I look bloated) and have a ton of energy.
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Our gender reveal party with family and close friends. It was so much fun seeing how excited everyone was.
4. Least favorite part? By far, the whole first trimester lol. I was so sick and exhausted all of the time!
5. Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Pink!!! And her name is Harper Liu!
Congrats everyone! Half way to meeting our little ones! Woo Hoo!
1. anatomy scan yet? Yes, last week and my favorite part was seeing him sucking on his thumb and fingers. We where so happy to find out that he is healthy. 2. Symptom check! How are you feeling? Amazing so far 3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? When my daughter and son kiss my belly and talk to their baby brother. 4. Least favorite part? The stress of the genetics scan and finding out we had an increased risk of downs syndrome. Thankfully the recent anatomy scan relieved our concerns a bit. 5. Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Blue!!!!
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? Yes!!!! If yes- what was your favorite part? Goodness! Do I have to pick a part?! From watching the LO for the 45 minutes it took (he was a little stubborn) which was so much fun in itself to seeing his little foot shot--be still my heart to watching him move. I just can't pick!
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling? Pretty good; most of my energy is coming back.
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Had to be last night when I could feel someone getting their soccer practice in for about 15 minutes. After waiting for so long..I'm loving the whole thing so far. Including my midday naps I get on the weekends.
4. Least favorite part? Okay only bad part--morning sickness that creeps up out of no where at any time. It's not as bad as it was but it still lingers
5. Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Blue!!!!! And so excited about it.
1. I had my 20wk anatomy scan today! My favorite part was just getting to see the little man again and hearing from the doctor that he is perfectly healthy!
2. I am feeling great! I get worn out pretty easy, but thankfully my schedule allows for naps just about any day I need one!
3. My favorite part of being pregnant so far is just knowing that I'm going to be a mommy and that my husband is going to be a great daddy!
4. I'd have to say my least favorite part is not being able to enjoy an ice cold beer on the beach when we are at our lake house!
So, my doc has me at 20 and 4 today, measurements have me at 20 and 2, but whatever. I made it halfway!!!
1. Had our scan yesterday. Doc said everything major looks good. So relieved.
2. I feel like a jerk, but this has been such an easy pregnancy. My biggest issues have been a stuffy nose, and now sleep is a joke.
3. My favorite part of being pregnant is kicks and finally being able to see myself pregnant. I always imagined what I would look like at 5'2"
4. My least favorite thing is these restless nights. I just want to sleep. I'm also not looking forward to preteen questions/comments when school starts back up next month and creating sub plans for 8 weeks.
5. We are team blue! Can't even wait to meet this little man.
Me: 28 DBF: 30

3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Feeling the baby move. And feeling it kick at my daughter when she lays on my lap.

So happy to be to this point, it's hard being at the end of the month. Congrats ladies!
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most? 20w1d. Anatomy scan in 2 days! I'm excited and nervous. Looking forward to finding out if baby is healthy and then the sex so I can stop calling baby "it"
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling? Tired, but I'm chasing a toddlwr around so I've come to the conclusion, that probably won't get better.
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? I've felt a couple of movements, but looking forward to more.
4. Least favorite part? Just the fatigue, but if that's the worst if it, I can handle it.
5. Team Pink/Blue/Green? We will know in a couple days.
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most?
- Yes. Had 2, actually, because baby likes being in a really weird position and the u/s techs can't get good pics of her heart. Favorite part was watching her wiggle her little feet!
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling?
- So stinking tired. All. The. Time. I feel like a sloth; all I do is eat and nap.
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far?
- TBH, I've barely enjoyed any part of it. Now that I can go "that is more likely baby than gas", I'm enjoying kicks, though.
4. Least favorite part?
- Just. Ugh. All of it? First tri was understandably awful, but I'm still stuck in the baby-or-too-many-cheeseburgers stage, which is making me feel really self conscious, and it doesn't help that I'm hungry all the damn time.
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most? --- finding out she was a girl! We were told a few weeks earlier that we were having a boy so it was a BIG surprise. And seeing her little face and her finger pointing away. Watching her move her hand to her face and start sucking her thumb
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling? --- great! Lots of back pain and have been diagnosed with sciatica. Hungry constantly. But overall great!
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? --- feeling the little lady move
4. Least favorite part? --- morning sickness and not being able to or have the motivation to exercise as much as I used to prepregnancy
1. Yes, Ah so many favorite parts: seeing and hearing how healthy my little nugget is, watching him suck his thumb, yawn and stretch and finding out we have a precious little boy.
2. I have been feeling great. To be honest i have cruised through this pregnancy (eek sorry ladies) My main symptoms are non stop hunger, fatigue. In saying that i have probably just jinxed myself haha.
3. Seeing my baby for the first time, Telling friends/family the news and having a gender reveal cake.
4. Constant worry and paranoia also not fitting into my clothes
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most? Just had it last Wednesday It was so neat watching LO move around and run away from the scanner. Seeing the heart beating was pretty neat - they gave me a little video
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling? Ok. Lots of cramping as things move around and stretch. Sleepy and hungry all the time!
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Feeling the baby move around FTM and I can finally feel it!
4. Least favorite part? Anxious/worrying about the future, crying more, not fitting into clothes :C maternity clothes shopping is the pits.
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most? Yes, last week. Seeing the little one hang out and finding out that he is healthy.
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling? Pretty good overall. Some heartburn and constipation, but generally fine.
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Feeling the baby consistently. Not having to clean up cat litter
4. Least favorite part? Getting diagnosed with placenta previa. Peeing all the time. Not having any clothes that fit.
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most? Yes, yesterday. I love seeing the baby move around so I ate some chocolate before going in.
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling? Overall I feel pretty ok. I get backaches and ligament stretching pains which suck but nausea is gone. Energy is just coming back. My new thing is lack of appetite and adjusting to not being able to eat regular amounts of good bc i digestion is a beast!
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Feeling the baby move and my watching my DH, he's so excited.
4. Least favorite part? Having the urge to pee-now. And not being able to sleep more than 4 hours at a time. ..sigh
5. Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team girl! (Have I mentioned I hate pink? Lol)
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most? Not yet - it's on Thursday and I'm so excited! I'm really hoping to hear that my baby is developing well and I really hope we get to see the tiny feet
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling? Absolutely great most of the time, with the occasional wave of feeling light-headed or nauseous.
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Teaching my toddler about the baby and seeing him kiss my bump and say "Hi Baby" just melts my heart.
4. Least favorite part? Pregnant lady gas /:)
5. Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team green if I can keep my cool at the anatomy scan. I'm so tempted to find out though!
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most? Had it last Monday! My favorite part was that he had his legs crossed and then I realized I was laying with mine crossed, too. Weird but cool. Also thrilled to see he's completely healthy and despite my concerns he's measuring a few days ahead, just over 50th percentile.
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling? Great! Still don't feel pregnant. Still wearing normal clothes, haven't been sick at all. Apart from food aversions and a killer gag reflex, I've felt completely normal this whole time.
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Not getting big yet! Strangers have no idea I'm pregnant.
4. Least favorite part? I miss cheeseburgers. I love them, but I hate them so much right now. Thanks, baby!
Hi! I'm 20w,1d, due 11/30!
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? Yes, this past Friday. We were able to see everything except the spine, due to the way baby was laying - we will have another US next time. We were obviously interrupting his nap, he didn't want to uncover his face!
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling? Great! I no longer fit until my pre-maternity pants and am loving long dresses.
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Baby kicks - it's so strong that hubby was able to feel him around the 18 week mark... oh, and FOOD!! nom nom nom
4. Least favorite part? not being able to sleep comfortably
5. Team Pink/Blue/Green? BLUE
21w,3d today. due 11/23 @2octobermama-- I feel the same way, it IS hard being at the end of the month!
had my anatomy scan yesterday--favorite part was just watching in awe as the tech was able to find and point out all the different parts, the only things I recognized were the feet and femurs.
symptoms--little bit of everything: alternately ravenous and nauseous, hip pain, winded easily, peeing always, heartburn, feels like I got kicked in the crotch all the time (whatever that is), bleeding gums--gross, exhaustion etc.
favorite part--I feel like I should say feeling her move, but it still kind of weirds me out at this point and brings me to a halt every time. It's been really fun watching my husband get excited, he has just been over the moon about having a baby, especially since we found out it's a girl
least favorite part--running and exercising in general has been uncomfortable almost from the beginning so I feel like a total sloth. Also everyone says pregnancy sex is the best sex of your life but I have found the opposite to be true, so that's been depressing me lately. Also worrying about everything! the ultrasound tech found what looked like bladder stones while she was doing my scan and they set me up with a referral for a specialist, they've been seeing blood in my urine with no UTI so i'm glad to be seeing a specialist, but also scared it's something serious.
21 weeks today!
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most?
Yes, yesterday. I love seeing the baby move around so I ate some chocolate before going in.

5. Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team girl! (Have I mentioned I hate pink? Lol)
@Unica1302+ I like pink, but I'm also annoyed by how overly gendered all the girl stuff is! Everything "girl" related is covered in tacky butterflies. Wth. Lol
I've meant to get around to posting in this thread for who knows how long and kept forgetting... well now I'm past halfway (22w, 5 d), but I'll update anyway!
1. Yep, we had our anatomy scan at 20 w, 2d. The tech was pretty quiet so I didn't know what all she was doing, and I only got a "you're baby boy is healthy!" at the end, so I have no idea what he weighs, how big he is, etc., but since everythin is in the "normal" range, I'm not obsessing over it. I LOVED hearing his heartbeat (always do)! 2. I'm feeling pretty great right now! Other than tired, I'm not having any glaring pregnancy problems. I would love to sleep through the night again, though. 3. I love love LOVE feeling the baby kick. But honestly, the thing I'm loving more is that every night, my husband talks to our son and tells him how much he loves him and things that went on during the day (and no, he's not talking through my bagina megaphone, just to the belly ) 4. First trimester least favorite part was nausea. Now it's lack of sleep. 5. Team blue!

At my anatomy scan during my last pregnancy they had 2 screens. One for the tech and one facing me. So the the talked me through everything he was looking for and explained all the measurements and pointed out organs etc. I'm in a different hospital this time and the screen was turned to the tech while she did all her checks. Then she turned it to me and spent a couple of minutes pointing out organs etc. I'm delighted that everything's ok, but I think I was spoiled in my last hospital so my expectations were raised!

Reason for edit: gender update!
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most?

Just the anxiety.
5. Team Pink/Blue/Green?

Yes! Two days ago. My favorite part was seeing a healthy baby wiggle. OH and when she waved at us
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling?
For the most part I'm feeling good. Bloating and discomfort after eating is still pretty bad.
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far?
Baby movements are definitely the coolest
4. Least favorite part?
Limitations while exercising, my clothes not fitting quicker than I thought, and food aversions
5. Team Pink/Blue/Green?
Team Pink!
No not yet
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling?
Fine tbh lol
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far?

The back pain and weight gain!
5. Team Pink/Blue/Green?
Team Blue Baby!!!
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most?
Had it this morning! My favorite part was seeing baby wave at us and move around. The u/s tech was also amused by him pulling/grabbing at his manhood ;-). She said that was his only toy in there, haha. I also posted on another thread that baby is measuring 1 lb 1 oz, while the tech said the avg would be about 12 oz. That has me a bit terrified, but the doc isn't concerned, so I'm trying to keep emotions in check.
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling?
Mostly well. My tendinitis has flared up in one of my ankles, as I walk about 5 days a wk on the treadmill on an incline. I've had a little back pain, but not too bad. And many days, I'm very uncomfortable by the end of the day...my stomach feels like it could explode! I'm also drinking 100-120 oz of water a day, so I pee about 100-120 times a day, haha.
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far?
Baby movement, eating all the cheese fries, my husband's excitement over the whole process (he's going to be a great daddy!)
4. Least favorite part?
Weight gain from baby and all the cheese fries. I'm up 16 pounds as of today, but tomorrow I could be back down some...who knows. The doc hasn't expressed any concern over weight gain, and I'm always terrified of going to the doc and having him/her tell me I'm getting too fat bc I might have to smack someone and prob cry. The tendinitis is obnoxious bc I don't like missing workouts...they are what (semi) allow me to eat all the cheese fries...

Team blue! I didn't really have a preference, but my husband is super excited that he's getting his boy, as the family name would have "died" w him if we had all girls (this is our first).
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling? Pretty good. Energy is back for the most part. It's uncomfortable to stand for too long.
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Finally feeling him move around, getting to wear comfy clothes!
4. Least favorite part? Getting sick if I don't eat fast enough. Not sleeping well, can't get comfortable and getting up to pee like a million times.

Great! I'm not feeling preggos at all. In fact, I'm hardly showing (I look bloated) and have a ton of energy.

Our gender reveal party with family and close friends. It was so much fun seeing how excited everyone was.

5. Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Blue!!!!
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? Yes!!!! If yes- what was your favorite part? Goodness! Do I have to pick a part?! From watching the LO for the 45 minutes it took (he was a little stubborn) which was so much fun in itself to seeing his little foot shot--be still my heart to watching him move. I just can't pick!
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling? Pretty good; most of my energy is coming back.
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Had to be last night when I could feel someone getting their soccer practice in for about 15 minutes. After waiting for so long..I'm loving the whole thing so far. Including my midday naps I get on the weekends.

5. Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Blue!!!!! And so excited about it.
20 weeks today!
1) I had my anatomy scan last week! My favorite part was seeing my little one wiggle around. Seeing his spine and little arms and legs was incredible!
2) I'm feeling pretty good. A little tired still and heartburn is kicking in.
3) So far it's just knowing I'm bringing a new life into this world.
4) The morning sickness in the beginning!
5) Team blue! Can't wait to meet my little boy!
1. I had my 20wk anatomy scan today! My favorite part was just getting to see the little man again and hearing from the doctor that he is perfectly healthy!
2. I am feeling great! I get worn out pretty easy, but thankfully my schedule allows for naps just about any day I need one!
3. My favorite part of being pregnant so far is just knowing that I'm going to be a mommy and that my husband is going to be a great daddy!
4. I'd have to say my least favorite part is not being able to enjoy an ice cold beer on the beach when we are at our lake house!
5. We are team blue! And so excited!
1. Had our scan yesterday. Doc said everything major looks good. So relieved.
2. I feel like a jerk, but this has been such an easy pregnancy. My biggest issues have been a stuffy nose, and now sleep is a joke.
3. My favorite part of being pregnant is kicks and finally being able to see myself pregnant. I always imagined what I would look like at 5'2"
4. My least favorite thing is these restless nights. I just want to sleep. I'm also not looking forward to preteen questions/comments when school starts back up next month and creating sub plans for 8 weeks.
5. We are team blue! Can't even wait to meet this little man.

TEAM GREEN
Hope everyone is feeling great and had awesome AS!!
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most?
- Yes. Had 2, actually, because baby likes being in a really weird position and the u/s techs can't get good pics of her heart. Favorite part was watching her wiggle her little feet!
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling?
- So stinking tired. All. The. Time. I feel like a sloth; all I do is eat and nap.
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far?
- TBH, I've barely enjoyed any part of it. Now that I can go "that is more likely baby than gas", I'm enjoying kicks, though.
4. Least favorite part?
- Just. Ugh. All of it? First tri was understandably awful, but I'm still stuck in the baby-or-too-many-cheeseburgers stage, which is making me feel really self conscious, and it doesn't help that I'm hungry all the damn time.
5. Team Pink/Blue/Green?
- Pink!
--- finding out she was a girl! We were told a few weeks earlier that we were having a boy so it was a BIG surprise. And seeing her little face and her finger pointing away. Watching her move her hand to her face and start sucking her thumb
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling?
--- great! Lots of back pain and have been diagnosed with sciatica. Hungry constantly. But overall great!
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far?
--- feeling the little lady move
4. Least favorite part?
--- morning sickness and not being able to or have the motivation to exercise as much as I used to prepregnancy
5. Team Pink/Blue/Green?

1. Yes, Ah so many favorite parts: seeing and hearing how healthy my little nugget is, watching him suck his thumb, yawn and stretch and finding out we have a precious little boy.
2. I have been feeling great. To be honest i have cruised through this pregnancy (eek sorry ladies) My main symptoms are non stop hunger, fatigue. In saying that i have probably just jinxed myself haha.

Yes, yesterday. I love seeing the baby move around so I ate some chocolate before going in.
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling?

Pregnant lady gas /:)
5. Team Pink/Blue/Green?
Team green if I can keep my cool at the anatomy scan. I'm so tempted to find out though!
1. Have you had your anatomy scan yet? If yes- what was your favorite part? If no- what are you looking forward to the most?
Had it last Monday! My favorite part was that he had his legs crossed and then I realized I was laying with mine crossed, too. Weird but cool. Also thrilled to see he's completely healthy and despite my concerns he's measuring a few days ahead, just over 50th percentile.
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling?
Great! Still don't feel pregnant. Still wearing normal clothes, haven't been sick at all. Apart from food aversions and a killer gag reflex, I've felt completely normal this whole time.
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far?
Not getting big yet! Strangers have no idea I'm pregnant.
4. Least favorite part?
I miss cheeseburgers. I love them, but I hate them so much right now. Thanks, baby!
5. Team Pink/Blue/Green?
Team blue!
2. I'm feeling pretty great right now! Other than tired, I'm not having any glaring pregnancy problems. I would love to sleep through the night again, though.
3. I love love LOVE feeling the baby kick. But honestly, the thing I'm loving more is that every night, my husband talks to our son and tells him how much he loves him and things that went on during the day (and no, he's not talking through my bagina megaphone, just to the belly
4. First trimester least favorite part was nausea. Now it's lack of sleep.
5. Team blue!
I'm in a different hospital this time and the screen was turned to the tech while she did all her checks. Then she turned it to me and spent a couple of minutes pointing out organs etc. I'm delighted that everything's ok, but I think I was spoiled in my last hospital so my expectations were raised!
No, my doc office closed so I'm actually seeing a new doc tomorrow!
2. Symptom check! How are you feeling?
Pretty eh. My stomach is SO sensitive this time around! I threw up just yesterday from eating too greasy food.
3. Favorite part of your pregnancy so far?
I haven't gained too much weight early this time and I'm not swollen yet
4. Least favorite part?
The way my stomach has grown this time (it's not a cute, popped out round belly). I feel like I'm hiding behind DHs big tanks
5. Team Pink/Blue/Green?
Team green as of now, but I am pretty sure I want to find out.
