*lurking cause I'm not a Thursday ticker change....@jennm205 you can always google get to know you questions (my go to) or lurk on other days to see what they ask
im just going to rant about how ridiculously tired I am. I had an event last night for my husband and didn't get home until 1045. Really not that late but it is haha. Fell asleep and then both girls were up from 1230-330. Then my oldest gets up at 445am for the day. I'm exhausted and need to clean for my in laws coming in town. Wahhhh. A positive is that my oldest is taking a nap now! I needed some relaxing time.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
i am craving a juicy Lucy burger, you know a burger with the melting oozing cheese inside? Yeah I need it now.
I usually am a HUGE sweets girl but I just can't stomach any cake/ cupcakes / brownies etc in the last week or so. I say this because I have cake and cupcakes leftover from my daughters birthday party. I don't want them to go to waste so I tried to eat some. One bite and done.

Upcoming appointments? Wednesday for my anatomy scan. I. CAN'T. WAIT! My OB suggested bring DD along (which I hadn't really considered) so I'm even MORE excited. I get to see baby, get to give DD a super special "Big Sister" moment (after which we'll take her to a "ressarant" for lunch), spend the day with DH (he's taking the day off for the big occasion). Can't imagine a better way to spend the day!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave - I've been feeling pretty great for a while now; really puts the misery of first trimester in perspective. I kept telling myself it wasn't that bad. Now, looking back, I realize how awful it really was. Rant - I've been insanely busy at work lately and I don't see an end in sight. Not loving the stressful days one after another and I'm missing TB, too!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Nothing, really!
@diagonalley Thanks for the GTKY tip and for giving me permission to steal some of yours - they're always so good! I've copied others' a time or two but was trying not to too often for fear it was frowned upon for some reason, haha!
@seitzy3 Thanks for posting! I was like, "Where my Thursday ladies at!?" Good luck with your scan on Monday and thanks a bunch for the great GTKY ideas!
What size is baby? Nintendo gameboy or a mango...mmm now I want a mango margarita!
Upcoming appointments? a/s coming up on Monday and 20 wk appt on 4/14. I've never been so excited for a Monday!
Rants/Raves/Questions? My IL's want to help us install laminate flooring (they are paying for a portion of the flooring as a housewarming gift) this month but still haven't told us when they are coming out to do it (they live 15hrs away). Since tomorrow is Friday, I assume they aren't coming this weekend and our DS's bday party is the 30th(probably not that weekend either, or at least I hope they wouldn't do that!) I would just start without them but that would cause WW3 with my MIL and I don't have the energy to deal with that argument. I'm trying to not sound ungrateful, but I am a total planner and knowing that my DH and I would need to get all the prep work done before they get here and not knowing when is driving me insane.
On the brightside...it has been my dept.'s appreciation week. Yesterday was pizza day, today there is an ice cream social and tomorrow is a breakfast potluck! Happy tummy here!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Dry heaved so hard this morning I peed my pants. DH was walking into the bathroom to check on me right when it happened and just laughed. Got to love these wonderful pregnancy symptoms!
GTKY: Maybe this is cheating but I need help with GTKY questions (it's hard to come up with new ones!) Can each of you provide a GTKY question for future weeks!? Maybe....When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up?
@COmama87I'm finally catching up on TB while I'm sitting in a work training that is completely unnecessary for me to be in. Your signature gif is cracking me up but of course I'm sitting in the back desperately trying to hide my snickering! Have fun with your scan on Monday! Oh, and yumm to your department's appreciation week. I wish my workplace would do that!
Rants/Raves/Questions? This has been a hell of a week. We are busy at work with quarter close, both my husband and I had a stomach bug (hit him a lot harder than it hit me), and DS has had some sleep trouble - he napped horribly on Tuesday and it has snowballed pretty bad. I am ready for the weekend and a fresh week.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? This congestion sucks!

raves: Sebastian ,my oldest, just turned 2 last month. He saw his cousin using the big potty and has decided he wants to be potty trained. We tried potty training in December and it was kind of a fail. It was such a battle and we had to help him so much everytime he had to go. He just wasn't getting it so we figured he wasn't ready. This time is so much different and so rewarding. He can communicate so much better (his vocabulary has just exploded) he goes on his own pours it out, flushes, washes hands. I'm so proud and so relieved how much easier it is once they are ready!
Symptoms: I finally seem to have more energy this week. I hope it sticks around!
Gtky suggestions: what are you most scared about for labor and delivery or once baby comes?
Married 6-1-13 Sebastian 3-11-14 Simon 5-2-15 Baby #3 Due 9-29-16
Upcoming appointments? My anatomy scan is scheduled for 4/25.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I think I am caving on being Team Green. I really want to know more about the baby that I am carrying. I still don't have much to show in terms of a bump and haven't felt any movement yet. I have all of these reasons for wanting to be Team Green but I am seriously considering saying eff it and just finding out. But if we do, then we have a whole other issue to deal with in terms of whether we lie to everyone and pretend we don't know (to avoid getting too much clothing at the shower when we really need other things to care for baby) or whether we should do a gender reveal at the shower, etc. I just don't want the grandmas to be pissed that we knew and didn't tell them. Lol. But I know at least one of them wouldn't be able to keep it a secret. But is it worth it? Am I worrying/stressing for nothing? Oh decisions, decisions...overthinking things is just second-nature to me.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Gimme all the chocolate and pretty much any kind of candy too!
GTKY: What are your hobbies?
Married: 3/21/15 First time mom to a human but have been a puppy mamma for over 12 years
@blondie080300 I had a friend reveal the sex at her baby shower and surprise her guests. It was the sweetest thing ever to see the looks on all their faces! They just wheeled in a huge box in and opened it and a bunch of blue balloons came flying out.
On a side note this is my third girl and I'm telling friends and family and whoever I see in person but I did not announce the sex on social media. Everyone keeps saying they think it's a boy .....
@blondie080300 I plan to do the gender reveal along with the baby shower. I tried to be Team Green but I'm too much of a planner for that especially as a FTM. I'll only be telling immediate family of the news of the sex (with the exception of my MIL who wants it to be a surprise for her) but will be keeping the name a surprise that myself and DH have chosen whether baby is a boy or girl.
Sorry im late but it's been one heck of a busy week... JennM205 said:
How many weeks? 19 weeks! (Can't believe I'm almost have way there...)
What size is baby? Mango (yum)
Upcoming appointments? Next Friday (I'm so excited to finally find out)
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm really confused as to whether im feeling baby or not. I've been getting more consistent jabs in my lower tummy (just above pubic bone) and last night I felt a few 'pops' but maybe I'm just denying accepting that it's baby I'm feeling because of PGAL brain... Has anyone else felt these and in the positions mentioned.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Last Sunday my stomach became really tight. A friend of mine who has 3 children said that it was BH contractions. No real cravings but my sweet tooth seems to making an appearance again.
GTKY: Maybe this is cheating but I need help with GTKY questions (it's hard to come up with new ones!) Can each of you provide a GTKY question for future weeks!? My brain is at a blank here but as a PP mentioned, I would search on the net when in doubt for inspo
@blondie080300- I am also caving on being team green. However, I was never a fully committed member of the team. When we found out I was pregnant, DH and I had a conversation about how it could be fun to not find out, but we never really decided one way or the other. As my ultrasound gets closer, we are leaning towards finding out, but still very much undecided.
How many weeks? 17 weeks. What size is baby? Turnip Upcoming appointments? Today! Gestational Diabetes testing today. I just finished drinking the glucola stuff. Gross. Rants/Raves/Questions? The glucola drink gave me a headache. Not cool. Not cool at all. DH is supposed to be home soon so I can go to my appointment Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still no symptoms. I really want a reese's blizzard from DQ. Not sure I can consider that a craving though. GTKY: Maybe this is cheating but I need help with GTKY questions (it's hard to come up with new ones!) Can each of you provide a GTKY question for future weeks!? What does your nursery look like right now?
@Smallangel That sounds like baby moving to me! Hopefully over the next week or so you'll be able to feel even more deliberate movements so you can confidently say that's what's going on and can enjoy it completely!
Also, I started having BH at 15 weeks. Luckily it hasn't been terribly painful thus far. But it has me wondering what it'll be like in 10, 15, 20 weeks from now...Only one way to find out...
@JennM205 That makes me feel so much better to know that it's most likely that. It's so weird how I can feel better from the reassurance of someone else and not my own body. Hoping I can feel more deliberate movements and also have my a/s Fri so will be interested to find out what placenta I have. Are you a FTM?
Def interested how the BH will feel the further we're along... It didn't hurt but it was very uncomfortable, like my belly was being stretched and a full feeling but on the outside not the inside lol
@Smallangel I'm a STM - which I think makes it easier to distinguish what's baby and what isn't (since I remember from last time). Plus, if I'm lying on my back and rest my habnd gently over my bump, I can feel the movements externally as well. That makes it pretty unmistakable!
With the BH, though, this is my first rodeo. I never had early contractions with DD. I started having contractions weeks before she was born but they were actually progressive (I was dilating) so supposedly not considered BH.
