edited May 2017 in October 2017 Moms

Last week we had a request for some new questions, so I wanted to mix in some old and some new.  Replace some of the mundane questions. 

1) How many weeks?

2) How big is baby?

3) Team Green, Pink or Blue?

4) For STM, how has this pregnancy been different so far? For FTM, how has pregnancy been different from what you were expecting?

5) Rants/Raves/Questions

6) GTKY: What are your food cravings lately?

    1) How many weeks? 18 weeks

    2) How big is baby? Artichoke/sweet potato

    3) Team Green, Pink or Blue?     Team will find out this weekend

    4) For STM, how has this pregnancy been different so far? For FTM, how has pregnancy been different from what you were expecting? Same but different if that makes sense.  I'd say all but the ms has been greatly reduced.  I did have cravings/aversions this time which I didn't really have last.

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions Saturday is supposed to be our gender reveal party.  It's an outdoors activity.  100% chance of rain.  I swear if I plan any event, it will rain.

    6) GTKY: What are your food cravings lately?  Cravings have really disappeared for me.

    1) How many weeks? 16 Weeks 

    2) How big is baby? Avocado

    3) Team Green, Pink or Blue?     We will be finding out but not for about a month. 

    4) For STM, how has this pregnancy been different so far? For FTM, how has pregnancy been different from what you were expecting? It's been pretty similar. My nausea was worse in the 1st tri but now everything seems the same. 

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions I have my next appointment at 19 weeks on the 7th. I am going out of town the next day, is it unreasonable to call my dr and see if I can get my AS before the appointment? I really don't want to wait until I get back haha! 

    6) GTKY: What are your food cravings lately? Pizza has been on my list pretty much this whole pregnancy.

    @nbcarlson My OB won't allow A/S's until 20 weeks, I've already asked to have ours at my Monday appt.  She said I would have to wait until my next apt which would be 4 weeks from Monday.  I'm all for asking, but I know a lot won't even entertain the topic.

    Ugh that's so weird my last OB let me get mine at 18 weeks haha. Which is probably why I am feeling so antsy.

    1) How many weeks? 16 weeks today. :)

    2) How big is baby? The size of an avocado!

    3) Team Green, Pink or Blue?     I'm team minimalist/gender-neutral. We're having a little girl but I'm so disinterested in all things pink and frilly. Lots of white, grey, and neutral colors.

    4) For STM, how has this pregnancy been different so far? For FTM, how has pregnancy been different from what you were expecting? I'm a FTM. Not sure what I was expecting but it's been a pretty great experience overall.

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions. I love my mom but she's constantly reminding me of apparently just how alike we are. She did a lot of things right when she raised me, but there are also a lot of things I want to do that are 180 degrees differently from how she did things. 

    6) GTKY: What are your food cravings lately? Cheese, cheese, cheese. Also big into chicken nuggets with plum sauce and apple juice this week. Opposite that, anything with a lot of layers of flavor (foods I normally love) are totally grossing me out: Mexican food, curries, etc. are just too much for my palate and my sense of smell.

    1) How many weeks? 16

    2) How big is baby? Measuring 6 days ahead per our U/S on Monday.  5 oz, they didn't do CRL, just a bunch  of other measurements.

    3) Team Green, Pink or Blue?     MaterniT results due back any day now - can't wait to find out.

    4) For STM, how has this pregnancy been different so far? For FTM, how has pregnancy been different from what you were expecting? The first trimester was way worse - nausea, fatigue - than I expected. I just guess a lot of women don't talk about the first 12 weeks, so I hadn't heard much.

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions Just scheduled my AS for June 5th like an hour ago. I'm ecstatic - I thought I would have to wait til the last week of June, because my doctor left for vacation without writing the request (and they schedule like 3 weeks out because they are so busy), but the nurse was able to call it in today! So I get to go earlier in the 18-22 week timeframe and I'm so happy to know sooner because I have an SCH that I really want to know more about.

    6) GTKY: What are your food cravings lately? No real cravings, thank goodness. I was only craving really crappy food. I've managed to start eating healthy again.

    1) 19 weeks
    2) mango
    3) only one more week until I find out...
    4) less hungry, more tired, and this baby seems somewhat less active, but earlier braxton hicks
    5) like EVERY road in our neighborhood is under construction (1st block of one road is closed and 3rd block of the next street over, so if you go one extra block on the detour, you get stuck  PLUS one main road completely closed and another down to one lane) and my pregnant bladder cannot handle waiting for the flaggers on the main road to get a clue and flip the sign once every half hour.
    6) mexican and jalepeño poppers.  There's a restauraunt near us that has jalepeño cheddar corn nuggets and they are just awesome.  In terms of healthier options, I cannot shell pistachios fast enough to eat.  Send a truckload, lol

    Missed this this morning. 

    1) How many weeks? 18 weeks ! 

    2) How big is baby? Sweet Potato / Soda Can

    3) Team Green, Pink or Blue? We find out Wednesday night! 

    4) For STM, how has this pregnancy been different so far? For FTM, how has pregnancy been different from what you were expecting? There is a difference in how I'm carrying slightly. Symptoms are getting similar though. 

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions. It is going to kill me to wait from my appt at 10:30am to our reveal time at 8pm !!! I ordered our reveal cupcakes today. I just have to drop off the envelope that afternoon after my appt so they can fill them. The bakery is by the girls dance studio so I'll pick them up that evening. 

    6) GTKY: What are your food cravings lately? no real cravings but I'm digging watermelon still hard core!

    @canonmom413 I ate watermelon almost every single day when I was pg with DS. It's high in iron so I wonder if that's where the craving comes from?

    @nbcarlson are you my low iron/ anemia buddy? I can't remember who it was. But if it is higher in iron that could be it. I know people who are anemic or really iron deficient crave / munch ice too. I do. I get snowballs/shaved ice with my girls and leave out the syrup or just get a small little pump.
