1) How far along are you? How big is baby?16 weeks, an avocado
2) How are you feeling? Meh. My nausea is better but still there. I felt horrible yesterday. Today is better (so far)
3) Any appointments this week coming up? Tomorrow morning! And if all goes well we will finally be announcing!
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? It's Thanksgiving here this weekend (Canada). And baby is making me too full/nauseous to eat much. Didn't even have any pumpkin pie yesterday. Really hoping I can get some today! Rant: My pharmacy says I can't refill my Diclectin prescription. So now I have to call and hopefully talk to someone on Thanksgiving weekend because I NEED my Diclectin!!!
6) GTKY: What feature of yours do you hope baby inherits? What would you be not so thrilled about? My friendliness. I'm pretty shy but friendly to everyone. I actually don't want LO to have my dark hair. Both DH and I have dark brown hair, and our DS is super blonde (??). I'd love if this baby was blonde too so DS had someone who looked like him lol
16 weeks, and since I don't know the size I'm going by @justkeeptrying 's post - avocado :-)
2) How are you feeling? Exhausted... I did not sleep enough this weekend. 3) Any appointments this week coming up?
16 week appointment tomorrow. I'm not expecting much, but I've started feeling some BH which feels early to me. I think I was dehydrated but I'll hopefully remember to actually ask about it.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? My husband is going to a 2 day conference in another city tomorrow, so I'll be on my own with my just started potty training toddler. My husband has been doing 90% of the chores too, so I just expect to be more tired because after my son's bedtime I'll still need to do dishes/get lunch ready for the next day/whatever other chores/eat dinner and I typically lie down at that point. And, my son's pediatrician has their flu clinic on Wednesday, so I get to add that fun into the mix. 6) GTKY: What feature of yours do you hope baby inherits? What would you be not so thrilled about? I hope this baby gets a little more of my personality. Our son is "copy/paste" of my husband both in appearance and personality, and while I obviously love them both, I'm more level-headed and organized. I would rather not have two kids who are not. I was a terribly whiny baby/toddler, so I'm hoping that doesn't get inherited.
2) How are you feeling? My headaches are killing me. 3) Any appointments this week coming up?
No.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
6) GTKY: What feature of yours do you hope baby inherits? What would you be not so thrilled about? My green eyes. My anxiety would not be good for baby.
2) How are you feeling? Great! 3) Any appointments this week coming up?
No
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? I am so excited for my 2 sisters and brother in laws to be here this weekend to visit us. We have a big weekend planned and we are doing our gender reveal while they are here. My husband likes to hunt, so he will be shooting a target with shotgun that will explode with pink or blue powder! Eeek, I can't wait and I am hoping the work week goes by quickly. 6) GTKY: What feature of yours do you hope baby inherits? What would you be not so thrilled about? I was the biggest cuddler and lap sitter growing up. I love baby snuggles so I hope the baby gets a little bit of the love of cuddling from me. I would not be thrilled if s/he got my eyesight or teeth genes. I am pretty much blind without contacts. I can't even see the big E on the wall at the eye doctor. And I had to get braces TWICE. My husband has 20/20 vision and straight teeth with no cavities.
2) How are you feeling? Good, tired, hard to get comfortable at night 3) Any appointments this week coming up?
Nope next one will be the anatomy scan
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
6) GTKY: What feature of yours do you hope baby inherits? What would you be not so thrilled about? I hope baby is a lot like my son, he was a good baby and overall easy going kid, would not be thrilled if baby inherited my height (I'm short!) or my anxiety also.
20 weeks - officially half way there! Baby is the size of a banana.
2) How are you feeling? Pretty good overall.
3) Any appointments this week coming up?
Yes! We have our anatomy scan on Wednesday
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Anyone else having a repeat c-section? I had one with DD (it was scheduled for a few reasons) and it wasn’t horrible, but I’m starting to get nervous about going through it again - just the recovery & now having a toddler to take care of at the same time and balancing it all.
6) GTKY: What feature of yours do you hope baby inherits? What would you be not so thrilled about? I hope this baby inherits my sense of humor I hope he takes after my husband in a lot of ways though. My husband is more outgoing and I can be more introverted/reserved. He was very involved in different things in high school and I tended to shy away from things, so I hope he is more like his dad in that way.

2) How are you feeling? exhausted, exhausted and sometimes short of breath. 3) Any appointments this week coming up?
Not until next week.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Not currently! 6) GTKY: What feature of yours do you hope baby inherits? What would you be not so thrilled about?
My love of cleanliness. Haha...I would love for them to be quieter like me since our son is crazy wild and I'm not sure I can handle two screaming children all day. I hope they don't inherit my bad vericose veins and bad eyes. They are so painful and I've had 3 surgeries over the past 12 years for my legs and multiple procedures and surgery on my eyes since I was super little. At some point I will be declared legally blind most likely before I qualify for retirement.
1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 16 weeks- avocado
2) How are you feeling? Pretty good, although I'm starting to get a bump so I have to change how I sleep and do daily activities.
3) Any appointments this week coming up? Yep, jut a checkup on Wednesday.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope
6) GTKY: What feature of yours do you hope baby inherits? What would you be not so thrilled about? I hope he gets my clear skin (hubby has acne pretty bad, getting a little better now that he is close to 30.) I hope he gets DH's blue eyes and/ or curly hair.
2) How are you feeling? hungry for once, lots of heartburn, short of breath a lot
3) Any appointments this week coming up? Not this week. US is next week
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Rants: Almost passed out a couple times.
6) GTKY: What feature of yours do you hope baby inherits? What would you be not so thrilled about? It would be nice if one of my kids had dark curly hair, instead of straight blonde. I wouldn't be so thrilled if they inherited my teeth, they need to get DH's teeth...
@hollyk224 I'm having a RCS and am very nervous as well, my first one was an emergency c section and this next one will be planned I am told it will be a completely different experience. I'm nervous for the surgery itself and then recovery and trying to take care of 2 kids.
1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 17 weeks, baby is the size of a pomegranate!
2) How are you feeling? This week so far I’ve been feeling good! Last week the headaches were killing me. Praying those don’t come back... 3) Any appointments this week coming up?
None until our anatomy scan on the 24th!
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing right now 6) GTKY: What feature of yours do you hope baby inherits? What would you be not so thrilled about? I would love for the baby to have my hair color and my love of being organized! In a perfect world I would love for the baby to have my hair and DHs ice blue eyes. But we will have to wait and see..
October 24th is going to be an exciting day for our Monday mom's!!!!!
Mine's scheduled for November 2 (boo). But I'm counting down the days to find out what we are having!!! We were team green changed to team finding out. So I'm psyched!
2) How are you feeling? Good other than serious round the clock constipation and being completely wiped by 5 pm! Noticing rib pain already as baby moves up.
3) Any appointments this week coming up? Next week 5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Over halfway there and feeling lots of kicks and rolls! 6) GTKY: What feature of yours do you hope baby inherits? What would you be not so thrilled about? Hmmm... my ringlet curls I had as a little girl would be fun. Since having kids I’ve lost the curl all together and now I regret the days I wished for straight hair. I’ll be bummed for baby’s sake if it has my teeth (I’m missing several adult teeth and no matter how well I care for the teeth I do have I continue needing root canals. It’s tied to my genetic disease that I also pray baby doesn’t have, but I know there are far, far worse things in the world so I try not to drive myself crazy).
