Rant- I have an MFM consult appointment today, I'm hoping to hear the heartbeat. Also, half day at work. Rave-I have a cough and cold, and generally don't feel like being at work today. I've also had this annoying muscle spasm-"eyelid twitch" feeling in my left upper abdomen off and on since 4:00 this morning.
Any upcoming appointments?
MFM consult this afternoon, AS 12/20, midwife 12/27

I've never really been much of a trend follower, but remember the "ringed tee" fad of the mid 90s? I had one that had a devil smiley face on one side and an angel smiley face on the other. The placement was unfortunate and everyone made fun of me that one boob was the good one, and one was the evil one. I only wore that shirt once.

18+6. Baby is pomegranate sized according to the bump. Due date May 8.
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves?
I'm feeling not too badly, and am enjoying the little second trimester break of not being super nauseated or exhausted. I am a little annoyed that I seem to have already hit the point of needing to pee 3+ times a night, when it doesn't generally seem to be that bad during the day! I still have no idea if I'm feeling baby movement or not and it's starting to make me actually crazy. I've felt some things I THINK might be him, but I'm really not sure.
Any upcoming appointments?
Nothing this week, but my AS is coming up on 12/19 and OB appointment on 12/21.
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing trend you followed growing up?
I was kind of too much of a nerd to properly follow any trends. I did own a crimper though and there is photographic evidence of it being used more times that I wish it was.
18+2 May 12. Baby is an artichoke or a croissant depending on the app
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves?
Nothing this week. We did get a few things done around the house to prepare for baby this weekend. And we’ve officially decided on Molly Suzanne as her name. I plan on referring to her as Molly but I’m not getting anything official (monograms or anything like that) until I meet her and I’m sure.
Any upcoming appointments?
not until a/s on 12/27
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing trend you followed growing up?
uhhh probably those dumb rubber bracelets that supposedly meant you had performed various sex acts. Those were popular as I started high school. Pretty sure a black one meant actually having sex. I wore like 5 even though I was a virgin. Also I had a bowl cut when I was 4. My mom called it the Dorthy Hamill but it was a bowl cut. Good GTKY question!

What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? Feeling horrible, my nausea somehow started getting worse the last few days. ugh. Add headaches, constipation, and hemorrhoids to the mix and I'm just SUPER fun to be around. But, managed to start decorating our xmas tree yesterday and went to a hockey game, so overall not a terrible weekend. Rave: hadn't broken out my home doppler in weeks because I wasn't able to find heartbeat easily/at all previously. Found it right away last night, so that was fun,
Any upcoming appointments? Anatomy scan this Friday.
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing trend you followed growing up?
This is a tough one.... in middle school I definitely wore a "water bra" to several school dances. I also had a lot of those skirts that were tight around hips and butt and then ruffled out ( a la "Mean Girls").
@kpc914 I had a few of those skirts!
How far along are you? When is your due date? What size is baby?
19 weeks (5/6 or 7). Size of a four-toed hedgehog.
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves?
Got a lot done this weekend, so that was good. I'm a little nervous bc I was feeling the LO pretty much daily last week and since yesterday I'm not feeling anything (or nothing as distinct as before).
In other news, I finally have a bump that is more than bloat
Any upcoming appointments?
Anatomy scan isn't until next Thurs, 12/21. I wanna know the sex so badly. I was doing well with waiting until this past week and it's driving me insane.
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing trend you followed growing up?
This was more like college (and may be an UO because I know people still wear them), but I wore Uggs one winter and they shrunk when I wore them in the snow and were worthless. I didn't think they were cute, but everyone had them, so I bought some and they were still not cute and shrunk immediately. Also they kill the sheep to make them and that makes me sad so I regret ever buying those boots.

-My birthday was yesterday but DH had to work so DS and I planned my birthday party. DS wouldn't stop talking about picking up a cake so we did and of course my sweet husband also picked one up after work. Sooo we had two cakes. DH took one of them to work with him since it was mostly cupcakes haha.
Any upcoming appointments?
- I have my anatomy scan today. I might have to take DS with me so I'm hoping he behaves since it'll be a longer appointment than usual.
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing trend you followed growing up?
-We couldn't afford Abercrombie & Fitch/American Eagle/Hollister when i was in middle school so i wore A LOT of Aeropostale. They always had great deals on clearance clothes. Then when I was in high school, I went through the whole emo phase...I may or may not have used red lipstick as eye shadow to achieve this my chemical romance look...
Good luck at your anatomy scan! You know at least one is a boy, right? Or have you found out that they're both boys? Sorry, I can't remember....
Never mind, just found it. Two boys it is LOL My memory is shit anymore. Good luck anyway!

Happy birthday @lincbeesmom!!! Hope your AS is good today!
@bjkay22 oh man I'd heard of those bracelets but totally thought they were a myth!
@sandbar517 @bwow615 I'm '01 as well, woo oldies!
@silverhope I am totally with you on the Uggs, I have never understood the point of winter boots that get ruined in wet weather. My current winter boots are actually Uggs brand but just normal really warm, waterproof leather boots which I actually love, but I sometimes feel kind of embarrassed by the brand just because of the association.
18+3

This is a hard one...I never really followed any trends. I always did my own thing but most of my friends kept up with the times.

What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves?
I'm not throwing up every day! Yesterday I had a weird night time nausea and got sick but otherwise not horrible. I have a weird thirst for anything other than water, sometimes water even makes me feel worse but I know I need it. I wasn't sleeping too well with work but luckily my fall term at school is over!
I also started to feel baby moving a ton!
Any upcoming appointments?
Yes in a couple days! I'm going to ask her a lot about the delivery process because I have no idea what to expect and I'm actually a little scared!
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing trend you followed growing up?
I followed that funny bracelet trend, even the jean skirt and leggings look. I graduated in 2013.
