I miss wine.

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?

5) GTKY: What is your alcoholic beverage of choice when not KU? If you don't drink, do you have any weakness for a beverage or food?

aprilsarahjune · May 2017

@jessafishy I need a bit of a wine buzz. Or at the very least some Tylenol PM for the sole purpose of knocking me out for a night. Better living through chemistry, I say!

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 18 weeks

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Feeling good. I am PGAL, though, so I have some emotional craziness. Every now and then I feel compelled to tell someone in my life about being instantly PGAL (3 weeks after my loss, in fact), and I told someone at my company today. Most people are really sympathetic about it, which for some reason helps.

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? I feel huge. I swear that I am as big as my first pregnancy, which was a twin pregnancy. I may in fact be as big as my twin pregnancy at this point.

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? "Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil." - C.S. Lewis (an explanation on how we can have such an educated, literate society and still make reckless decisions)

5) GTKY: What is your alcoholic beverage of choice when not KU? If you don't drink, do you have any weakness for a beverage or food? I like mixed drinks, especially long island iced teas, rum and coke, and anything with pineapple. I also like sweet blush wines from vineyards in the US.

1. 15w 3d

2. Just tired and my back aches.

3. Pretty much the same. Just feeling the back aches sooner and short of breath. I suppose I feel like I'm 7 months along and not almost 4.

4. Ultrasound tomorrow and my dad is arriving to our house tonight from out of state!

5. In love a good mojito!!!

carries2018 · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 15w 2d - 10/30

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? ugh i feel like ish. nausea and headaches. and my nipples

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? def harder

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? i am never going to get past the "finally a boy!" comments. every time i turn around it is another one.

5) GTKY: What is your alcoholic beverage of choice when not KU? If you don't drink, do you have any weakness for a beverage or food? primarily beer and wine. but i do like vodka and tequila too, but i just don't drink that often. i hate sugary alcohol though.

Boobopgirl · May 2017

1. Uuummmm...i dont remember due oct. 12
2. Most weirdest dreams ever and overstimulated by literally everything. Light, smell, touch, sound, everything.
3. Similar, but not the same
4. None.
5. Just plain ol' wine...mostly sweeter wines. I don't drink often, but when I do its usually wine. Occasionally a rum and coke.

ETA: lol, it's in my ticker!!! 17 weeks and 6 days.

sjohns908 · May 2017

1. 19 weeks - 10/1

2. Ok, lower back is really bugging me so I definitely need to get to the chiro soon

3. I'm definitely bigger this time than with any of my other ones. Symptoms are pretty similar, just starting sooner

4. I'm insanely nervous for my AS next week, I've never been so stressed over one before. Being PGAL this time is rough

5. Amaretto sour. So delicious. That's about all I like since I'm not huge into drinking

jessafishy · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 17 weeks/October 18th

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Not getting much sleep. Headaches seem to be mostly gone -knocks on wood-. SI joint pain is back though. Ugh. I'm not feeling too bad, really. Just tired.

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Pretty much the same except I can't just go home and lay on the couch in the evening when I'm wiped. Also Track season and DH being gone so much is killing me. Thank god it's over next week.

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? My dad said "At least now you will have one of each and can stop!" Um... thanks?

5) GTKY: What is your alcoholic beverage of choice when not KU? If you don't drink, do you have any weakness for a beverage or food? Wine. I'm an equal opportunity wine drinker but a nice, chilled, semi-sweet Riesling is my faaaaave. Ugh, I want a glass very badly.

beezeee · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 19w2d, Oct. 2

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Doing great and feeling a ton of movement, which is so reassuring.

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Similar now. Although, this pregnancy is going by WAY more quickly. I can't believe I'm almost halfway there. I'm still wrapping my mind around the idea of 2 kids.

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? Just counting down the days until my AS, next Wednesday. This was brought up in the randoms thread, but I'm so jealy of all you who already know the sex. Since I'm at the very beginning of the month, I figured I'd be one of the first (besides those that do the blood tests).

5) GTKY: What is your alcoholic beverage of choice when not KU? If you don't drink, do you have any weakness for a beverage or food? All the drinks. Bloodies, craft beer, and Moscow mules top my fav list.

carries2018 · May 2017

mmmmmm i could go for an extra spicy bloody mary right now with a jumbo shrimp and bacon in it.

mrs_fogue · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 16W6D 10/19

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Had my first spell of BH last night, that was so not what I was ready for. Still dealing with daily headaches.

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Symptoms much earlier

4) Rant/Rave/Questions?

5) GTKY: What is your alcoholic beverage of choice when not KU? If you don't drink, do you have any weakness for a beverage or food? WINE! I hate sweet wines, White Zin is about as sweet as I go. I usually love a good Chardonnay at night. I recently discovered my love of Bloody Mary's last year. Must be spicy!!

grkgdss00 · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 17+6 dd 10.12

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Feeling good! Other than a cold no real pregnancy symptoms and feeling the 2nd trimester glory

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? About the same at this point. First time was easy breezy the entire way. Other than more nausea with this one early on - we're cranking along.

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? MIL is coming to town for a week. She's a gem so it's not bad, but I always feel like I have to entertain her which means it's even more exhausting. She is coming to hang with DD#1 which I love. I'm also going to invite her to our anatomy scan and she's going to freak

I think it's a special thing to do though since she lives far away.

5) GTKY: What is your alcoholic beverage of choice when not KU? If you don't drink, do you have any weakness for a beverage or food? Oh boy, I like most alcohol actually. We live in San Diego which is craft beer heaven (tons of breweries) so I enjoy a good beer, good wine, and an occasional whisky/ginger when I'm out socially. It depends on the day/mood, but mostly wine is my thing. Can't wait to have it back!

@beezeemarie - it's going by so fast! It's crazy how sometimes I forget i'm pregnant and someone asks me how far along and i'm always later than I initially say/think I am hahah

riverrainez · May 2017

16+1 and feeling pretty good, just exhausted from not sleeping well last night + DS waking up sooo early this morning.

I feel like my bump is still 90% bloat and organs shifting around but I'm just about squeezed out of my normal pants. I've been doing the rubber band trick for the past week but it might finally be time for maternity jeans.

Since it's getting warmer I'm craving cider, beer, and rose, but I love it all. If I had to pick one thing to drink for the rest of my life it would be red wine.

MCraig1484 · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 18+1 / Oct 10th
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Pretty good, some RLP and insomnia, but otherwise can’t complain.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Pretty much the same as last time at this point, just feeling big as a house!
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? What is everyone planning on doing about sleeping arrangements once LO is here? Baby girl will sleep in our room for the first 3-4 months, but then I don’t know what to do…I had a really hard time sleeping with DS in our room, so we moved him to his own room at 5 months and ST’d him at the same time. We won’t have a room just for this LO and I’m nervous about them waking each other up if they share a room. DH suggested moving DS into our room while we ST since he’s such a good sleeper now…
5) GTKY: What is your alcoholic beverage of choice when not KU? If you don't drink, do you have any weakness for a beverage or food? Wine…I miss it so much! I love sauvignon blanc, prosecco, rose & syrah

purplestarz · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 17 weeks and change, 10/14

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Just feeling YUGE. Spotting finally stopped so good riddance, yeast infection.

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? definitely showing so much sooner

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? just agonizing over the fact I have to wait until 5/30 for my anatomy scan

5) GTKY: What is your alcoholic beverage of choice when not KU? If you don't drink, do you have any weakness for a beverage or food? WINE. Red, mostly. I usually go for a cab, blend, or Pinot noir. I miss it so much.

dajocl · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 16w3d, 10/22

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Just RLP and still some nausea- can't brush my teeth without dry heaving... so that's cool. Yesterday I came down with DS's nasty cold, so I'm just plain miserable and fighting to keep my fever down which of course concerns the dr.

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? About the same, just looking much more pregnant than I did last time at this point.

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? I'm stealing @purplestarz answer for this one: agonizing over waiting until 5/30 for my AS. It's three dang weeks away.

5) GTKY: What is your alcoholic beverage of choice when not KU? If you don't drink, do you have any weakness for a beverage or food? I'm not a big drinker but I do love red wine or a good gin and tonic.

carries2018 · May 2017

I feel like people who don't drink a lot always love gin and tonic. And then there is me who has a drink nearly every night and the thought of gin makes me cringe.

carries2018 · May 2017

@MCraig1484 I would try them in the same room. It went better for us than we thought. Some trial and error like DD2 needs to be asleep before DD1 goes in. But they really don't wake up to each other's crying like I thought they would.

MCraig1484 · May 2017

@carries2018 good to know! I will definitely try it out

I know many people that drink a lot that love their gin and tonics though...

carries2018 · May 2017

Ok so maybe I'm just a baby lololzzz

jessafishy · May 2017

All of you wine drinkers are my people.

My DH is one of those, lol.

natleilynn · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 17 weeks / October 18

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Not really any pregnancy symptoms anymore. Once I get past this sickness, hopefully I'll be into the second trimester gloriousness period.

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? So, so much harder. So much harder. If this had been my first, not sure I would have gone a second round.

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? I'm sorry that my anatomy scan is being wasted on me.

5) GTKY: What is your alcoholic beverage of choice when not KU? If you don't drink, do you have any weakness for a beverage or food? Okay so look. I'm not an alcoholic. But I love all the drinks. Whatever you put in front of me, I'll drink it. On a normal night, I enjoy a dry red - malbecs are my favorite but cabs and merlot are just fine. I'll drink beers from PBR to IPA. I'll do tequila, whiskey, vodka, rum...not picky. So basically I'm the easiest person to ever accommodate in a bar, but it's not like I drink (drank?) every night. Just when I do drink, I'm not super picky. Non-alcoholic drinks are another story, I'm extremely picky with those drinks.

lola4411 · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date?
16+4, 10/21
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
symptoms arent too bad right now, feeling pretty good. oh, i do have to pee. all. the. time.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
like everyone else, showing much sooner. otherwise pretty similar to the first.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions?
i wish i didnt want to eat all the food....anyone else dealing with crazy hunger?
5) GTKY: What is your alcoholic beverage of choice when not KU? If you don't drink, do you have any weakness for a beverage or food? @grkgdss00 we are neighbors! i am an IPA and sour beer fan. we routinely bring DS to local breweries

purplestarz · May 2017

I felt this belongs here:

jessafishy · May 2017

@purplestarz Lol!

I feel like I'm going to be the opposite. With DS we bought a house and moved when I was 30+ weeks pregnant and so everything was rushed. I feel like this time I'm going to have more time to actually nest so I'll probably go a little crazy...

Mommaswizz · May 2017

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 18 + 6/ October 6th

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? I'm feeling mostly good. Woke up last night at 4am with INTENSE stomach pains and had to poop. WTAF? I thought i was in labor for a second.

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? This is definitely harder

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? We found out what we're having at an elective ultrasound last week and I'm loving having this secret from our families for another week-ish till the A/S on the 22nd.

5) GTKY: What is your alcoholic beverage of choice when not KU? If you don't drink, do you have any weakness for a beverage or food? ALL THE DRINKS. Mostly wine but I love margaritas this time of year. Missing them dearly. Had a glass of wine on Sunday and while I'm not scared to have an occasional glass, it's seriously just a tease. I dont want one glass, I want 7 lol

ksf13 · May 2017

Ohh, I looked yesterday, but missed this!

1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 18w5d

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Post nasal drip that won't go away. Apparently being pregnant can cause a post nasal drip, so I'm hoping it doesn't last 5 more months lol.

3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? It's still going by faster. It's been mostly the same though.

4) Rant/Rave/Questions? 4 days until our anatomy scan! I'm ridiculously excited. I'm even hoping the weekend goes by fast (like it ever doesn't lol).

5) GTKY: What is your alcoholic beverage of choice when not KU? If you don't drink, do you have any weakness for a beverage or food? I'm really not much of a drinker, but I do enjoy a glass of Moscato or two occasionally. My real weakness is Dr. Pepper.

purplestarz · May 2017

@jessafishy haha, that makes sense. I totally nested hardcore last time even though I knew we were moving in a year or less. This time we are not moving any time in the near future, but our guest room isn't being converted to a nursery/DDs new room (can't decide) until January or so.

So this kid won't have a nursery til he/she is 3 months or so. Technically that picture is one-upping me lol
