Upcoming appointments? Thursday hopefully this baby will let us see this time!
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? just always hungry, I love salads, breads, and just food in general
GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? I love spring time, my birthday and anniversary are in spring. Since I live in Florida spring is the best time of the year to grill, walk, sit by the pool.
Me: 32 DH: 31
TTC #2 since January 2018
Baby #1 DD Born 8/25/2016 BFP: 8/11/18 Due: 4/26/18
Upcoming appointments? 4/19 Which is a week earlier then I thought it was so...score!
Rants/Raves/Questions? FRIDAY!!!!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Doing good except for Cousin It (see Random Thread)
GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? I love Fall. I'm obsessed with it and so excited our LO will be born in September. I will totally be that mom who takes them to the pumpkin patch and carves pumpkins 'with them' at 6 weeks old. Plus you go into Thanksgiving and then Christmas follows. It's just a fun time of year celebration, colors, and atmosphere wise.
What size is baby? Slingshot, sugar glider, sweet potato, croissant, ~5.6 inches!
Upcoming appointments? Next week for a follow-up and less than two weeks for the a/s!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Been having TERRIBLE heartburn! I've had gastritis for about ten years and pregnancy is making it way worse. Gastritis =/= Heartburn but having bouts of both at the same time is not fun. Just water puts fire in my throat. Went to the ER after my doctor thought it could be gallstones because of the location and intensity of the pain and then he thankfully prescribed something for it. It looks like gastritis was causing some of my nausea and vomiting at night. At least we got to see baby on an ultrasound!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Aside from heartburn, pretty much everything in the book. I'm tired but can't sleep well, some headaches (although less than the past few weeks), pelvic pain, lower back pain and lots of baby kicks! The only thing I'm craving is pizza but it does not go well with heartburn, other than that nothing interests me.
GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? Winter! Love the snow and cold weather and the holiday season.
Upcoming appointments? Midwife on Monday.She is also one of my closest friends, so these 'appointments' are more like visits. Can't wait!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I am so over snow/ice. I know, Canada. But jeepers! I scheduled my one dogs surgery for next week with the logic of 'there won't be any snow/ice left for him to slip on and hurt himself.' Now I'm thinking about postponing it.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Food. All the food.
GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? Summer. Camping, gardening, early morning runs, no wrestling a toddler into a snow suit...
Natural M/C 03.26.2012 at 10w2d Charlotte born at 28w3d due to severe IUGR on 12.24.2012 Merry Christmas! Missed M/C discovered 12.22.2014 at 8w1d measuring 6w3d 2015 was a year to test strength of both body and character, but it led us to this... BFP 01.26.2016 EDD 9.30.2016
Upcoming appointments? Just had our anatomy scan Monday!
Rants/Raves/Questions? At that scan MFM said baby was measuring 9oz, which is a little bigger than the norm at 18w (6-7oz), wondering if that means this is going to be a big baby? My first was TINY, 5lbs7oz at birth. Prob way too early to say, but still has me wondering!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? OMG I cannot eat enough. I went from forcing myself to eat to being hungry all. the. time!! Yesterday I had 2 breakfasts bagel around 9am and bowl of cereal around 10, lunch at noonish, snacked all day and huge dinner at 8. Then cookies and milk before bed
GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? Autumn! Love the cool crisp weather, the clothes, the seasonal produce and looking forward to the holiday season just around the corner.
What size is baby? Mango, hedgehog or zesty zucchini (which seems a little large to me ovia...)
Upcoming appointments? Not until the 25th
Rants/Raves/Questions? I complain about it every week but I really had hoped the metal mouth would go away by now and it's only gotten worse! It's constant! Also why can't they make good tasting tums? Barf!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Dealing with congestion, heartburn and metal mouth every day all day. Drawn more to savory foods still and can't stand the thought of coffee, pickles or cupcakes...
GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? I find they all have pros and cons! I like winter because we snowboard but I'm also looking forward to spending more time outside with my daughter now that it's warming up!
@sareej521 I found that putting a slice of lemon and lime each in my water helped with my 'metal mouth'.
Natural M/C 03.26.2012 at 10w2d Charlotte born at 28w3d due to severe IUGR on 12.24.2012 Merry Christmas! Missed M/C discovered 12.22.2014 at 8w1d measuring 6w3d 2015 was a year to test strength of both body and character, but it led us to this... BFP 01.26.2016 EDD 9.30.2016
How many weeks? 19! Almost halfway there, 19 weekers!
What size is baby? Gameboy, zucchini (which don't seem similar in size to me but eh)
Upcoming appointments? Just had my anatomy scan Monday (Team Green!) and the next one's not until May 2!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave- I finally popped!! Although it's so low now I'm just waiting for baby to move up a little to make it look like a regular baby bump.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I second the heartburn, @AlwaysAuntNeverMom although some of it might be work-related stress heartburn which I get. Also, super sensitive nipples. Cravings- give me all the strawberries and pineapples.
GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? Summer! I hate the cold and I'm a summer baby.
@sareej521 I had the same issue with metal mouth and tums! Ugh, the thought almost makes me gag. The metallic taste is horrible and it is worsened by certain flavors (I'll never look at hot cocoa the same way) but putting lemon in your water can help dissipate some of it. I finally found gummy tums at a store and that has been awesome! It's still calcium carbonate but I got the cherry ones and I can finally take my tums again without feeling gross. They're no jolly ranchers but they're better than the chalky ones.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope, I have to buy all new baby stuff though because I was told I couldn't have more kids and got rid of most so I've started hunting. Ugh!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? None at the moment.
GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? Summer. I spend most of it at the lake at our cabin. We have bonfires and go out on the boat a ton. Just love spending the time with my large noisy over the top family.
@Cricket Bug@AlwaysAuntNeverMom I have tried EVERYTHING (lemon included) and nothing takes it away! Used to be just dairy made it bad but now it's absolutely everything I put in my mouth... mint gum somewhat helps it but I find it too sweet almost for my savory palate these days and after going through a pack or so every day for the past like 10 weeks I'm pretty over the flavor haha I should buy shares in dentyne, Excel and trident I swear....
Upcoming appointments? Just got home from the OB's office. Everything is looking normal and right on track. Next week is the anatomy scan! I just love getting to see my baby hopefully we will find out the sex too
Rants/Raves/Questions? I finally look more pregnant than fat! Yay!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still nauseous ALL THE TIME. I really thought it was getting better but I am still vomiting anyone else still sick?
GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? Autumn is my favorite for lots of reasons that were already said (love the clothes, the weather, the colors ) I really like the holiday season and when snow first falls! (I live in western NY so first snow could be anytime September on)
What size is baby? I have no idea. Whatever my ticker says. :P
Upcoming appointments? First midwife appointment on Tuesday. I had my confirmation appointment and a dating ultrasound but this is my first "real" appointment.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I've been having terrible, awful mood swings. Mostly swinging in the anger direction. I've also been taking a lot of it out on my poor kids and hubby.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? The Pizza Hut talk in the FFFC thread made me gaggy. Right now I'm really craving chicken salad so we're having that tomorrow for lunch. Other than that, I'm kind of "meh" about food.
GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? SUMMER. Autumn, Winter and Spring here are usually too cold for me. I told DH unless it is 70*, no wind and sunny, then I am happy. Everything else is too cold!
Upcoming appointments? April 28th (20 week Ultrasound)
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: Why do women not get pockets when they are pregnant. I understand a little on the pants with the belly panel because you lose space to put them, but a little chap stick pocket would still be helpful. But more importantly in my military uniform the regular pants have large cargo pockets. I can fit my phone, snacks, ID card, credit card/money, small notebook, etc all at the same time. The maternity uniform has a tiny little pocket that barely fits my cell phone. Just because I am pregnant does not mean I have to carry less stuff
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Heartburn and growing pains
GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? Summer because it is the best. The weather is better, there is more to do, the days are longer
Rants/Raves/Questions? The weather here has sucked, I'm ready to wear flipfops and to stop having to squeeze into my winter clothes. But on a happier note I have lots of cute spring/summer maternity clothes waiting for me!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? My biggest complaint is that I wish I was hungrier. I feel so picky about food and lose interest fast when eating. I wish I was craving more!
GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER... I live on the coast and love everything about it. Give me a tan, salty hair, and a cocktail in my hand... Well mocktail this year
What size is baby? Onion, turnip, game control, pomegranate, chipmunk, creme brûlée
Upcoming appointments? Just finally had the 16 week a little late, next up is April 27th- the big 20 week scan!!!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Will I EVER get a solid sleep again??
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Little stinker is moving and kicking up a storm! And I can feel it! Same times every day almost, especially after I eat. Baby loves food, after my own heart And I finally have a little bump!!
GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? Autumn, my absolute favorite! I was born in it for one! I love the colors, the smells, the weather, the leaves, and of course Halloween! My favorite holiday!
Upcoming appointments?: May 3rd is the anatomy scan, but we won't find out what we're having 'till our sex reveal on the 14th!
Rants/Raves/Questions?: I feel like a whale tonight. I put on a pair of workout shorts I practically lived in last summer & this summer, and they were so tight I took them off. I feel so effing fat.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?: I want bratwurst with sauerkraut and stone ground mustard, and I want it now. Did I mention I feel fat?
GTKY: What is your favorite season and why?: Fall. Because colors, Halloween, pumpkin spice everything, and the holidays are just around the corner!
*************************************** FORMER USERNAME:@runningisrad
Upcoming appointments? Not until the end of the month.. Basically like 7 years away
Rants/Raves/Questions? just a rave that we told everyone on FB and I also told people at work this week, it's been so nice to not have to try to hide my belly anymore! That and everyone at work has been super excited for me so it's fun
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Oranges and grapes still, and salt. All of the salt. No aversions, no crazy symptoms right now.
GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? I actually love all of them for different reasons, but I'd have to say summer because I'm off of work for June and July and I really love sun dresses! The beach is also my happy place, if I could go to the beach every day I would!
Upcoming appointments? Monday for a group appointment, April 29th for the anatomy scan!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I wish I had more of a bump already! No one can tell I'm pregnant and I feel ready now to start showing. At the same time I don't really want to have to get a bunch of new clothes...
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Nothing much, some trouble sleeping this week which I hope goes away.
GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? I love winter because of the chance of snow, hot beverages, the holidays and my birthday. But I also love summer time with the longer days, camping and nice weather.
Upcoming appointments? The anamoly scan will be this Wednesday - eek!!
Rants/Raves/Questions? We plan to have the answer (boy/girl) hidden in an envelope for a little while. Hopefully LO will cooperate and reveal it's stuff! Since we were team green last time, I'm still kinda new to this. Do the sonographers write the sex in their report as well? I'm just nervous about my OB squealing. If all goes well we plan to have a mini sex reveal party (probably just the 3 (4) of us!)
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still wanting everything spicy. Still have an extreme aversion to toothpaste and how it smells. I've had to switch over to Tom's all natural and DH is confined to the bathroom when he brushes his teeth.
GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? I'm a summer gal. Since I'm in the NE, nice weather isn't frequent, so we have to soak it in whenever possible. Also, I'm a teacher so those months off are definitely amazing!
