ok im 16.5. Feeling good. I’ve been pretty lucky with mild symptoms. I hope I’m not nuts but I’m thinking I can feel her move. It’s sporadic but it just feels like tiny popcorns popping or static-y kind of feeling about 4 inches above where the dr got her heartbeat last time. I don’t want to be insane because it is early for a FTM to feel that but I work in a very quiet office and it’s just me so I have a lot of time to sit and focus and wonder if that’s her moving haha
For the GTKY:
I hope that she does not get my lack of drive. I mean I can be driven about certain projects but I don’t have like a passion that I pursue or a hobby I’ve alwags loved. I have hobbies but my husband is so passionate about his job and his hobbies, I hope she gets that from him.
On the other side of the coin sometimes my husband can be too intense and passionate about a project and has trouble balancing the rest of his life. So I guess I hope she gets a balance of our intensity? Hope this makes sense haha
@bjkay22 thanks! I totally steal them from other BMBs and websites. I bet you are feeling movement. I started feeling DS around 17 weeks and it took a while for me to realize.
How is everyone doing? I am okay this week. Getting nervous for my appointments next week, as per usual. I am so ready for winter break.
How far along are you? 18+3
How are you feeling? Still throwing up........ ugh. And now I have a weird cold, so that's fun. I will say, I am having more "good" days lately, which is helping, but overall, this pregnancy is kicking my ass.
GTKY: Name one trait you hope baby does NOT get from you and one that you hope baby does NOT get from your SO. For me- I hope my baby does not inherit my huge hips and my obsessiveness over conflict or other situations. From DH- I hope the baby doesn't have his huge head like DS (obviously for selfish reasons) and that she does not inherit his lack of initiative. Sometimes I think if I didn't plant ideas or encourage DH, a lot would not happen.
@bjkay22 I have been feeling the same things. There are times when I am certain its baby and then others when I feel like I'm making it up. I can't wait for it to be more pronounced. @mileswithmyles How long do you get for winter break?
How far along are you? 18+1
How are you feeling? Good! Also getting nervous for my AS on Monday. If all goes well, hopefully we will announce the next week. Some days I don't feel pregnant and some days I've got RLP like crazy.
GTKY: Name one trait you hope baby does NOT get from you and one that you hope baby does NOT get from your SO.
I'm super indecisive so I hope he is more like his father in that regard. My husband is SO not a morning person and is super slow to get his day started. It drives me crazy. I like to wake up and get moving so hopefully he's more like me in that regard.
@bjkay22 I agree, I don't think it's too early at all. I started feeling my girls around 15-16 weeks, so enjoy it! @mileswithmyles I am so, so sorry you're still feeling sick. I think about you a lot (not in a weird, creepy way LOL) and hope it goes away soon. @rachelg777 Glad things are starting to settle a little bit, it's good to see you back! Good luck at your AS!
I'm 17+2 today, feeling really good most of the time. Nausea came back slightly today, but overall headaches are going away, still having constipation and boob pain (yay ::eye roll::) but otherwise, I also feel not pregnant some days, which is a little freaky. Other days I feel huge and like I'm already waddling. Ick.
GTKY: I also hope this baby does NOT get MH's head size. He has a huge head. I hope he/she gets MH's eyesight and height. My eyes are terrible, and while MH does wear glasses there are days he forgets them and I'm thinking, um, how do you forget??? I wouldn't make it out of bed without my glasses without tripping over something or falling down the stairs! I also hope he/she gets MH's calm demeanor. I have a tendency to get angry and flare easily, while MH is much more easygoing. As for my traits, I tend to get angry easily, but a lot of times it's warranted (hahaha at least I think so!) so I hope this baby gets my ability to stand up for themselves, not care what other people think about them, and be strong but compassionate.

How are you feeling? Okay, more energy than before but still tired. More hungry for sure, and having pelvic/vaginal pressure. I can very faintly feel baby girl when my bladder is full and I lay a certain way. It isn’t consistent, I can’t wait until it is. It’s such a relief to feel baby! @bjkay22 you’re not crazy, I felt DS around that time as well.
GTKY: Name one trait you hope baby does NOT get from you and one that you hope baby does NOT get from your SO.
i hope DD doesn’t get my temper, or DH’s stubbornness. .... DS got both and at 2 it’s such a pain in the ass!
How are you feeling? Good! I had my 16 week appointment yesterday and got to finally hear the heartbeat! It took a while to find it and I almost started to panic.
GTKY: Name one trait you hope baby does NOT get from you and one that you hope baby does NOT get from your SO. I hope baby doesn’t get my lack of patience (I can thank my dad for that one!). I don’t want baby to get DH’s crazy obsession with the need to be right. He will spend hours and hours researching things until he gets support for his arguments.

How far along are you? 17 + 1 today. I'm starting to forget how far along I am...lol
How are you feeling? Not too bad. I'm trying to be extra conscious about not over eating or eating really badly. I still have some lingering irritating symptoms like nipple pain and constipation but nothing unmanageable.

My speaking without thinking and DH's social anxiety.

@charlestonchew I have to check a calendar. I forget, too.
