Re: STM+ check in 3/3
Still sporadic heartburn and headaches. Didn't have either of them with DD.
Started to clearly feel movement this week.

We will find out the sex at birth. DD's sex was also revealed at birth.
GTKY: If you could go on a mom vacation alone for a week, where would you go and what would you do?
I'm not one to sit and do nothing for very long. So, although a spa or the beach sound great, they aren't for me. So I choose to go soemwhere like Paris where I can walk around and be busy sightseeing, shopping, and eating amazing food. But I've been to Paris so I need another place that's similar.

We are team green for the second time. I love the suspense!
GTKY: If you could go on a mom vacation alone for a week, where would you go and what would you do?
A private beach with a private bar. I want to sit all day with a Pina colada in hand, no kids, no husband, and just relax! Hell... at this point I don't even need a full week vacation. 20 minutes to shower alone would be good enough for me!
more heartburn and headaches then last time. Also still having random bits of MS, it was totally gone last time this far along
Are you finding out (or already know) the gender this time or team green? How does that choice compare to other pregnancies?
Finding out on the 27th. Found out last time around the same time 20 weeks
GTKY: If you could go on a mom vacation alone for a week, where would you go and what would you do?
Honestly anywhere, I'd stay in a hotel down the street for a few nights and would love it. I haven't spent a night away from my 2 year old yet. Not because I don't want to, just the opportunity hasn't arose. Definitely need to get away with just the DH before baby #2 comes.
Ton of heartburn, fatigue, early satiety but still gaining weight rapidly, periods of nausea. My first pregnancy was a breeze. I barely felt pregnant.

Team green all the way. We didn't find out t with our first one either
GTKY: If you could go on a mom vacation alone for a week, where would you go and what would you do?
Beach to lay down and do nothing. I work 70-80hrs weeks so I want to sit and do nothin for once.
Two. DS is 5 and DD is 17 months
18w1d
Anatomy scan next Thursday
Rant: my in laws offered to keep the kids this weekend but failed to plan a time. So somehow we are committed to driving almost an hour to meet them this evening.

We we found out it's a boy at 15 weeks and will have it confirmed at the AS. I am too much of a planner and could not hold out for team green.
GTKY: If you could go on a mom vacation alone for a week, where would you go and what would you do?
A resort that has a beach, pool and close to a shopping center.
I have 2. DS is 5, and DD is 3.
I'm still a bit tired, and I still have an aversion to seafood. I definitely have more pronounced symptoms than the last two pregnancies. They were like a walk in the park compared to this.
Rant- I am so over cleaning up the toys. They are EVERYWHERE! I feel a toy declutter coming on soon. lol
Are you finding out (or already know) the gender this time or team green? How does that choice compare to other pregnancies?
I'd love to be team green this time around, but my husband wants to find out, and I can't have him know and I not know. We found out with the other two, so i figure this would be a nice surprise in the OR. Oh well.
GTKY: If you could go on a mom vacation alone for a week, where would you go and what would you do?
The beach, one with a hotel that has a nice spa included. And I'd bring all my books and magazines that I'm so far behind on.
I wish I hadn't put on so much weight so far. The nausea was a killer though and lots of carbs were the only things that helped me function. I gained 45 lbs with my other two and struggled to lose the weight the second time around. I was hoping to keep things in check more since I was finally at at place pre-pregnancy where I was pretty happy with my body. At least the nausea is pretty much gone and I finally have the energy to exercise again.

We're Team Green for the third time. I love the delivery room surprise although it's a little harder this time knowing that I could click on a link in my email from the NIPT results to find out the sex.
GTKY: If you could go on a mom vacation alone for a week, where would you go and what would you do?
Anywhere warm with a beach/pool. I enjoy relaxing and would love to sit and read with a drink in my hand. I can't stay out in the sun all day because no matter how often I reapply lotion I burn so I'd also want to be somewhere near other activities.
Not until the 20th.
Are you finding out (or already know) the gender this time or team green? How does that choice compare to other pregnancies?
I am AMA so we have know it is a girl for a few weeks from blood work. DH wanted to be team green last time but I said no way a new baby was going to be enough a surprise. I offered this time but he wanted to find out.
GTKY: If you could go on a mom vacation alone for a week, where would you go and what would you do?
I thought about my answer the whole time I was cleaning my bathroom. I think my favorite part is it is all by myself I don't even have to worry about DH. As boring as it is I am going with a tropical beach too. I want to lie on the beach and read have snorkeling near by and someone to bring drinks to me. A spa and good restaurants would be an added bonus. Pre kid me would find this boring but now it just sounds amazing.
Are you finding out (or already know) the gender this time or team green? How does that choice compare to other pregnancies? Finding out on Monday! The suspense is killing me so we are finding out a few weeks early this time around.
GTKY: If you could go on a mom vacation alone for a week, where would you go and what would you do? I would go to the hill country in Texas. I would hang out on a ranch, visit vineyards, eat a lot of BBQ and shop for antiques.
One. DS.
Between 15 and 17 weeks. We have no idea.
Sick all the time, diclectin isn't helping all that much. Losing weight rather than gaining. Can't eat, can't sleep.
Complete 180 from last pregnancy.
Not until the 15th.
I'm really pissed at my mother for just assuming I'd want her around for 3 weeks around the time LO will be born. No, I do not, and you should have asked me before you booked those 3 weeks off work because you're going to have a boring time sitting at home twiddling your thumbs.
Are you finding out (or already know) the gender this time or team green? How does that choice compare to other pregnancies?
Probably finding out but not revealing. My family is convinced this one is a girl to the point my mother threatened me with "if this one isn't a girl, you're trying again as soon as you're out of the hospital." So I'm not revealing strictly because I'm not about that life and she can suck it.
GTKY: If you could go on a mom vacation alone for a week, where would you go and what would you do?
Nowhere. I'm not a vacation person, and I couldn't bear to be away from DS for any length of time. Already did it for 3 days and it was awful.
headaches! And so tired.. started having to eat much smaller meals more often because I get heartburn/nausea if I have too much at once aka a previously normal to small sized meal.
No, next one is the anatomy ultrasound
Has anyone done a home birth or had their previous children at a birthing center? I was lucky enough to have a low-risk healthy pregnancy with my first but felt disappointed with my birth experience. I felt pressured into an epidural, and then progressed so quickly. The anesthesiologist miscalculated my weight and it was WAY too strong but it made me ridiculously loopy to the point that they had me pushing for an hour and half and I couldn't feel anything. FINALLY we got them skip a dose and I was able to push but thinking back it's all very blurry. This time around I don't want to feel pressured or have the experience cloudy like that so I'm trying to look into alternative options..
Are you finding out (or already know) the gender this time or team green? How does that choice compare to other pregnancies?
Yes we're finding out, we've wanted to find out with both
GTKY: If you could go on a mom vacation alone for a week, where would you go and what would you do?
I would go to a spa and just relax and be pampered. Really just any vacation where I can sleep in, relax, read a good book for a few days would be great.
1. DS is 2.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
How do I get rid of this sharp shooting sciatic pain or shooting hip pain? Feels like me hip is stuck and it hurts. Not sure I feel comfortable with a chiro in pregnancy, since I know someone who died from being misadjusted.
Are you finding out (or already know) the gender this time or team green? How does that choice compare to other pregnancies?
I know, but am waiting for the A/S later this month to confirm. Hubby is the green though. Went green last time and hated it. Sobbed hysterically after not finding out at A/S for #1.
GTKY: If you could go on a mom vacation alone for a week, where would you go and what would you do?
Sunny beach resort with top of the line resort/spa/ hotel. Would lounge on beach or in bed all day reading and resting. Would book myself silly on spa services as well.
EDIT:. Added gtny
1 DD she'll be three next month
Petty much the same so far but I'm extra exhausted from running after DD
DD who I thought maybe skipped the terrible twos.. has been a freaking nightmare this week. She's never been aggressive and she's suddenly hitting and kicking when she gets mad. Like full blown temper tantrums. I think she's mad DH is gone but holy cow kiddo I don't have the patience and energy to deal with this right now. Which makes me feel like I'm handling it really poorly.
Are you finding out (or already know) the gender this time or team green? How does that choice compare to other pregnancies? We are having a boy!
GTKY: If you could go on a mom vacation alone for a week, where would you go and what would you do? Oh geeze. That's hard, it's a toss up between redoing paris alone or taking a trip to Rome.
Lay on your back and push your right hip up towards your ear without lifting off the bed. Repeat with left side until it pops or loosens.
