Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies?

What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? I have felt a lot worse this pregnancy for sure. I can't remember if I was this tired last time. I know I was exhausted but it could also be worse this time because I have a two year old to chase and don't just get to nap whenever I want to. My boobs are SO sore this time but that's a new symptom within the last week or so. It's so painful.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I dont think so!
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies? I will definitely be finding out. We also found out last time.
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike? I just love the south. I like that it's not too cold here... but on the flip side, I hate that we have 90+ day stretches of 95* or hotter days. It was a rough summer and I have a feeling this summer is going to be even worse.

What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Mostly just morning sickness now. Still have food aversions and no chicken, same as last time. Not as tires as last time, so that's a huge plus!
Rant/Rave/Questions? Nope!
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies? We will find out this time, appointment on the 18th and then we should have the results in 7-10 days, last time we were Team Green and it was SO much fun, I would totally do it again, but I told DH he could choose with the next one, so here we are.
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike? My like/dislike is kinda the same. I love the weather changes, it can be 80 one day and 50 the next, but it can also be frustrating!! I hate that our summers/winters are extreme.How far along are you?10 +3
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? I am so sick compared to the girls. I'm also much more anxious, and my BP is high which is new. All that to say this better be one chill baby.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I'm so excited to tell the girls but still too nervous to pull the trigger. Maybe after the next appointment. I get teary just imagining their reactions
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies? We were team green both other pregnancies and I absolutely loved it. However since our DDs are 3 and 5 we will find out this time so that it's more concrete for them.
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike? I love the schools here. My daughter started K this year and I'm so so comfortable trusting my baby to this school- everyone from the bus driver to the teacher to the school nurse is amazing and professional and loving. I do wish we had a closer decent grocery store, but that feels like small potatoes.How far along are you? 14 weeks
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
Most ms and everything has subsided for the most part but headaches are picking up. I had a lot of headaches with ds but no other symptoms.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
Before I had posted a thread that I'm not excited for baby. Well not I'm tired of ds, terrible twos and cabin fever, and excited for baby. Calm just sitting in the rocking chair.
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies?
We will be finding out, everyone's been asking- soooo irritating. But I have it in my mind that we are having a girl and if we have a boy I just need a moment to accept it and embrace it. I'd love a boy I'm just invisioning my life with a baby girl right now
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike?Im in Wisconsin so I love that we get to have a white Christmas. It just doesn't feel like Christmas without the snow. But I hate the cold! Right now the news says it's 10 but -6 with the wind chill and it's like a high of 15 today I think and it's going to get colder the next couple days. Yesterday was 30's so we got out and now I just want to cuddle in bed but ds is not having it.

What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your other pregnancy?
This pregnancy is pretty on par with my last, although everything is a bit more accelerated (twice the babies, twice the hormones). My hips are already killing me at night trying to sleep and my TMJ has flared up something fierce, so good ol' relaxin and I aren't on the best of terms at the moment, but other than that, I feel fine.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
My in-laws are coming to stay with us for a week, which is wonderful and I'm very glad my husband will get to see them (we don't see them often because they live 9 hours away), but my husband's mother drives me up a Goddamn wall and I don't know how my hormonal, pregnant self is going to put up with her for a week in a house that just had furniture delivered three days before. And if she asks me one more time if we've "sexed the babies yet", I think I might break something.
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about your last pregnancy/pregnancies?
We will be finding out, as we did with my son. I don't really care one way or the other, but it helps me to humanize them instead of calling them "it" or "A and B" or "Thing 1 and Thing 2". We already pretty much have names squared away, and finding out which names we will be using allows us to try the name out before baby is born and see if it sticks. It also helps my husband connect.
What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike?
There is actually almost nothing I dislike about my town. I spent six months looking for a house while my husband was deployed, and a good chunk of that was spent finding the right neighborhood in the right town. The town has incredible schools, an amazing vibe, the perfect small town feel, great restaurants, a beautiful Episcopal church with an amazing reverend, and my sister lives only a mile down the road. I seriously wouldn't change anything. My only complaint is the wall in our actual house that I want opened up and the fact that we need to budget to replace the boiler at some point, but both of those are correctable issues. We bought the house with our potentially growing family in mind, and I couldn't be happier.

What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Bleeding gums, some acne, baby brain.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Has anyone else had problems with their SI joint? I had problems with both pregnancies and it started yesterday. It usually starts much later but I can definitely feel it.
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies? We got the results back last week and it's a boy!
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike? I love I'm so close to the beach. I hate that it's 7-8 hours from both of our families. I can't wait to move back.

What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
Weird acne and skin tags. The exhaustion feels like it's lifting and I've been able to stave off the migraines with magnesium supplements and vit b6supplements like someone here suggested - or, maybe I just didn't get this time around?
I also feel bigger.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
Well, I surprised DD and DH last night!! I picked up DD and told her we were going to have a baby (I'll never forget her reaction!) and that we don't know just yet if it's going to be a little sister or a little brother, but we have a present for daddy that will tell him what it is so she needed to help and give him the present. We met DH at the restaurant and she was so excited to give him the present. He wasn't expecting this at all so watching him open and seeing the little tiny outfit and registering it was a girl was awesome. When he told her what this meant, the look on HER face as she goes "I've always wanted a little sister!" was priceless
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies?
Found out! We were team green last time but I would rather find out because I needed to envision what life would be like with this new addition.
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike?i was born and raised in Los Angeles but spent nine years in the Bay Area and so reluctantly moved back to LA about 6 years ago? We moved to West Hollywood, then downtown la, Culver City, and then north Hollywood. I was pretty sure we'd never find "home" in LA and that we'd have to move to Seattle or Portland or Boston to find home - and then one day we visited friends who had moved to eagle rock and had lunch in highland park and we knew immediately this was exactly where we wanted to be. I love our area it's central and has a completely different vibe from the rest of LA and the hilly views are just beautiful to me.
The downside is it's a gentrifying area and I hate being in gentrifying areas because of the impact it has on the locals that have been here longer than we have.
How far along are you? 13 weeks 6 days, welcome 2nd trimester!
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Symptoms have really calmed down except for my sore nips and bigger boobs (I am not that chesty and last two pregnancies I didn't even really get bigger, so kinda liking that for once). I remember the 2nd trimester and the beginning of the third being so much better.
Rant/Rave/Questions? My toddlers slept in this morning, I feel like a new person. I am about to stand on my porch railing and scream "I am king of the world"
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies? We will be finding out, we found out with both of our babies. For me knowing the gender allowance me to bond and makes everything feel more real and tangible. It's not for the planning - we have one girl and one boy already so they will be set on clothes and everything else
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike? I live in a tiny midwestern town, but only a little over an hour away from Chicago so close enough a day trip to the city is not a problem. I love living in a small, close knit and laid back town. While everyone knowing each other can be a double edged sword at times it is such a comfort and help when it matters. My husband is good friends with the sheriff who pulls me over to complain about my husband or tell me to make him a sandwich but also when we "found" an abused dog and got it into a rescue the sheriff said if they try to come for the dog he was going to make everyone living on the property get run for warrants and tickets (he was positive at least one of them would have something) and then make them pay for all the vet bills and some other things before they got the dog. Needless to say they never did. Plus when I was pregnant with my first I passed out in the gas station (fun symptom - worse in 2nd trimester so I am being cautious about that) and everyone knew my husband and called him at work to come down. The only restaurant in town is right across from the gas station and apparently when my husband got there I had a bunch of people hanging out there and watching the drama and it was known I was going to be alright they started joking about who got my car and stupid stuff.How far along are you? 12w3d
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Sore boobs, exhausted and getting out of breath easily, just like last time. Headaches are really rough - didn't have them last time. But, guys!!! I ate dinner last night! With meat in it! And kept it down!! Like some sort of miracle! I mean, I didn't cook the dinner, but still...big steps lol. I am also realizing as I type this that my typing skills suck right now, too...
Rant/Rave/Questions? See above re: dinner.
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies? Yes this time and last. I like to know.
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike? There are a bunch of things that I like about living here...I grew up here. Our families are super close by, NYC is an easy day trip, and I love having all of the seasons. I don't like that the beaches that are worth going to (IMO) are hours and hours away. (Thankfully we have family we can visit in both Carolinas and in FL.)How far along are you?

What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
Feeling pretty good! Eating is a lot easier so hopefully now I can stop losing weight---I've lost 7 so far and I was not overweight to start! With my daughter I was still occasionally throwing up and continued to until 18 weeks. Haven't thrown up at all this pregnancy! Just no appetite and struggling to find something appetizing.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies?
Yes we are finding out. Had my NIPT drawn last Wednesday and anxiously awaiting results. We found out the same way with my daughter.
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike?I love living on the water. The views from our deck are just absolutely spectacular and especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset. I don't like that our town is mostly trump supporting confederates. But we should be moving to our new home hopefully sometime within the next month and really excited to see how we like there once we're actually living there

What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
Everything is getting better this week, which is the same as my first pregnancy. Food is still a touchy thing - have to take my cravings day by day to determine what's for lunch or dinner
Rant/Rave/Questions?
We announced to my in-laws (MIL, FIL, siblings) this weekend. My SIL then asks, "did you have fertility treatments with your [last] daughter?" Seriously, totally weird question to ask if you don't know, and secondly, that's 6 years ago and you've wondered or thought that this entire time?
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies?
We found out yesterday that it will be another little girl! My daughter is sooooo excited, and it helps me get on board too. This wasn't planned, and I turned 40 today, so am having to....ahem...adjust to life's curveball
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike?
I love mountains and trees and small towns. I do NOT love temperatures below zero! Thank goodness for our Hawaii getaway, it saved my sanity over the holidays!

What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
Nausea and fatigue plus shortness of breath. They are all worse this time.
Boobs are bigger but didn't hurt this time.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
Rant.... I might have HYPERthyroidism and it's new to me but explains how my weight is so steady with how much more I've been eating.
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies?
Definitely finding out. I applaud those who wait but I can't. Also knew with DD.
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike?I like how my neighborhood is a mix of quiet but also I live on the busy street with stores and bars and restaurants. But just going a few minutes off of it it's like another world that I forget it's a big city. So I get the best of both worlds.
I don't like having a limited selection of indoor activities for DD. It's cold most of the year and there's nothing to do unless I get a car but even then there's not much. Especially in her young age, she just started walking.
How far along are you? 14+3
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? MS is gone, still crazy pooping, and insomnia is back. Never had MS with my prior pregnancies, nor the pooping (2-3 times a day, I used to be an every other day kinda gal). The insomnia I had with both, but not this early - boo!
Rant/Rave/Questions? None at the moment.
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies? We found out with both of our kiddos, and with both of them I knew boy/girl. Since this will be our last, and we have one of each, we are team green. Much harder than I expected (I could have found out at 11 weeks from the NIPT)
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike? I love living in SoCal, we go to the beach at least once a month, and every other week or so I take the kiddos to Disneyland! We have great weather, and are very lucky to live where we live. I do not like the fact that I live within walking distance of the Real Housewives of OC, but whatever.my happy boy

Soooo hormonal. So much crying these past few days. DH says I was like this last time, too, but I don't remember that!
Rant/Rave/Questions?
Rave: DH is amazing. Doing all the cooking, cleaning, and holding my hand and giving hugs and saying all the right things.
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies?
Team Green with DS. I want to be Team Green again. DH is going back and forth, so we'll see.
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike?We live in a large German city, and adore everything about where we live! We've been trying to move here for 3 years, and did so 5 months ago. Somehow found our dream apartment and neighborhood. These are the good old days, and we cherish them and do not take it for granted for one second.
Dislike? Um...German bureaucracy isn't very fun!

What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Morning sickness that comes in waves all day, extreme exhaustion and a never ending appetite. Symptoms are similar to my twin pregnancy only less time to rest with 3kids now. I miss my first singleton pregnancy days, I was glowing with hadley any symptoms.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Why doesn't my 3 year old find nap time necessary or at least let me nap
Or just ignore my attempt to help - I will growl in frustration with you. Especially since that would have been an awesome Christmas present!

I'm finally not feeling as nauseated, but now I have a SCH and I'm stuck on bed rest until further notice. This did not happen with my other 2 pregnancies.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
Just that bed rest is horrible when you have 2 other kids to take care of. Normally my girls go to daycare while I work, but their daycare is by my school which is over an hour away. Since there's no way for DH to take them to daycare and get back to his school on time, the girls have to stay with me.

GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike?I have a love hate relationship with the weather. It changes so much so quickly. Yesterday it was in the 30's, today it was in the 20's and snowing, and it's supposed to be in the 60's by Sunday.
Okay, so I haven't been active here before, but I've decided to start.

What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? morning sickness, although it is slowing down. Wasn't as bad with DS, which leads me to think it's a girl.
Rant/Rave/Questions? friend of mine is pregnant, and the big moth of the family found out today. Friend had miscarriage last time. Didn't want anyone knowing until later. We'll see how long till the whole family knows, as she is my husband's cousins fiance.
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies?

GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike?just moved to Montana from san diego. So damn cold. Not loving it.Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies?
We will be finding out the sex. We found out with the first, but not with the second.
How far along are you? 13+6
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Ugh .... tired, nauseous ..... none of this with my last pregnancy (and that was twins!)
Rant/Rave/Questions? Why did my 21m old DD decide to start climbing out of her crib and not going to bed at night NOW? I'm soooooo tired and don't feel like rocking by her for an hour only to have her cry when I try to put her back in the crib.
But, at least it finally snowed and I have an excuse to lay around and be lazy (we don't react well to snow where I live and everything pretty much stops)
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies? No. We have 21m old B/G twins and found out with them bc there were 2.
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike? I like be living close to the water and having tons of outdoor activities. I hate living 1.5-2 hrs from an airport/major city.What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Finally over the nausea and headaches so no symptoms really now.
Rant/Rave/Questions? My anatomy scan was just scheduled for Feb 1 and just can't believe how quickly this pregnancy is already going!
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies?
So I wanted to be team green this time and thought dh was onboard and he just told me at our last appointment he doesn't want to wait. We have a lot of unknowns surrounding us right now with an upcoming move so he just doesn't want to add another. We are thinking of having them seal up result at our scan on Feb 1st then do a gender reveal with family in March on my dhs match day. We have never done a gender reveal, with lo 1 & 2 we did an early 3D ultrasound and just found out at the ultrasound together so this will at least be something different.
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike? One this I love about where I live is my neighborhood that has a park and pool for my kiddos I also live around the block from my sister and niece and nephew so my kids get to play with their cousins weekly. We lived in a big city most of our lives and where we live is much smaller with not much to do. I miss all the options we had in the city.How far along are you? 14w4d
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? right now m/s is mostly gone and except random spots like throwing up today. Food aversions are much better which means healthy balanced meals again! But I am having so BAD gas...just horrible. Most of this is comparable to last time except m/s has chilled out sooner this time. Also on and off cramping and RLP. Some headaches creeping and random days of utter exhaustion and feeling funky.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Nope
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies?
yes hopefully Feb 1st at my 18w scan and we did last time as well
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike?eh I don't really like where we live. I never dreamed I would be permanently living in the South being a very liberal person and we are near a liberal area but had to buy a house in the country and it is way too small for us and I just don't enjoy the area. I guess I just don't like any of it. I daily wish we could take off for the Pacific Northwest but our families live in this state
11w5d
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
I haven't had any morning sickness but the food aversions are out of control causing a lot of nausea. I can't eat anything hot. Only cold foods-which is weird. I can't have anything greasy or it causes nausea I didn't have any symptoms with my son so this is totally different!
I used to be allergic to milk, I'm already gluten free, and my pregnancy with my son erased that completely and now this pregnancy has brought it back. Horrible diarrhea every time I have any dairy. So it will be an excuse to have another to hopefully knock it back out so I don't have to live with this again!
Rant/Rave/Questions?
No questions!
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies?
Absolutely! We had the most epic gender reveal party for my son so we'll definitely find out with this one too!
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike?How far along are you? 10W3D
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? My first pregnancy was so easy. NEVER sick. I was tired like twice in 1st tri. This time, I'm sick all day (no throwing up, just a low-grade "blah" feeling), and I'm exhausted.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Meh.
Will you be finding out the sex with this LO? Or are you Team Green? What about past pregnancy/pregnancies? I will definitely be finding out, but I don't know if we will share the info. Most likely we will if it's a boy (since we have a girl), because people will probably want to buy shit, because baby clothes are cute, and I'll need boy clothes (but almost nothing else).
GTKY: What is one thing you love about where you live? What is one thing you dislike? I truly love it here. The cost of living is low. I have a job that pays pennies compared to most others here, but we can still afford a 6br/4ba house (well, I mean, my husband has a good job, too, but still). However, we're in a medical and education wasteland. I worry about what it will look like to bring up a daughter here, given the political climate we are in.

I would say that if we HAD a dedicated "family room," there really wouldn't be a need for at least 2 of those bedrooms. We have a tiny living room that I like, but I do with we also had a family room. We're making that bedroom/playroom try to make up for it.
