How far along are you? When is your due date? What size is baby? 20 weeks today, 5/8, ummm banana? What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? Rants- I need to finish my Christmas shopping!!!! Raves- AS and my birthday tomorrow. I did my first progesterone shot today and it wasn't as bad as I was anticipating. Also, I was rubbing my belly yesterday and Abby said, "Mommy, how is the baby doing?" It was so sweet. Any upcoming appointments? Already talked about this. AS tomorrow, hopefully find out the sex, then midwife appointment next week on the 27th. GTKY: What names do/will your parents and in-laws go by as grandparents? My mom is Grammy or Grandma Mellon (her name is Ellen and one of the older grandkids said Mellon instead and it stuck). His parents are Grandma and Bup-Bup. It was supposed to be Pap-Pap, but when my girls started talking it sounded like Bup-Bup and again, it just stuck.

What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? I do want to just rave about our board (and hopefully not jinx it). We are respectful but not pushovers and I truly enjoy interacting with so many of you. Also I’ve learned SO much about pregnancy/parenting already. My only “rant” is that regarding my AS ultrasound. My mom wants to come, so does my MIL, and obviously DH will be there. My office only allows two people with the mom. My mom and MIL are super understanding and either one will be fine to miss it, but I would actually love to have them both there. I’m very close with them both. It’s such a silly thing to complain about but it would mean a lot to me for them both to come. Oh well.
Any upcoming appointments? AS on 12/27
GTKY: What names do/will your parents and in-laws go by as grandparents? My in laws are already grandparents and they go by Nana and Pop. My mom is up in the air. She originally thought Gram or Grammy and now she’s thinking Gigi. I actually like Gigi but she thinks it’s too trendy. I’m fine with either but she can’t decide. Open to suggestions hahah!
@bjkay22 I can't remember if you already know sex, or are Team Green? But either way, could they both go to the AS and take turns? And I'm sure if you only have three people, they US tech wouldn't throw a huge fit if they all wanted to be there when you find out the sex, if you don't know it already. Most medical staff are pretty understanding and visitor rules are just there to keep people from bringing a 20 person crew to appointments with them. Also, I forgot MH's grandma. She's Great Grandma, so we shortened it to GG.

@bjkay22 we already know it’s a girl from blood work. There is an ultrasound place near MILs house that does 3D/4D scans (like a boutique place) and they are about 60 dollars. DH really wants to do that so I’m leaning towards having my mom at the AS sand then MIL can go with us in a few weeks to the boutique place near her house. But it’s a good idea to see if they can take turns! They are semi rude so I’m always nervous to ask them questions. Also omg at the belly rubbing. Makes your heart melt. Can’t wait to see the AS pics (if you decide to post), I love looking at them (well for people I’ve actually seen on here, not drivebys). Oh and happy early bday!
@bjkay22 Thank you! I don't know if I'll be able to post pictures because my front camera doesn't work after I dropped my phone in a public toilet a few months ago
but I'm sure MH will take a picture for me to text family, etc. The boutique ultrasound would be a great alternative if they can't both be at your AS next week

@sandbar517 ugh that sucks. At least some of the phone still functions. Hahah. Yes I’m leaning towards that option. Waiting to discuss with MIL when I see her in person this weekend.
How far along are you? When is your due date? What size is baby? 20w2d, 5/6, apparently banana, What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? Rants- Work, work, work, work, work, work. Tax reform is already kicking my butt. Can't wait to take a few weeks off starting on Thursday (fingers crossed). Raves - started being able to stomach the taste and smell of coffee again (although only in the form of a vanilla latte....far cry from my pre-pregnancy black coffee). Even at half-caf, its giving me life. Any upcoming appointments? Had one yesterday with Dr, anatomy scan last friday went well. Still going strong on team green. gestational diabetes test and OB appt in 4 weeks. GTKY: What names do/will your parents and in-laws go by as grandparents? ooooo I like this question. My parents will be Grandma Julie and Grandpa Andy, not super original. lol. My in laws will be halmeoni and harabeoji (grandmother and grandfather in Korean)
@sandbar517 I haven't even started christmas shopping! Also, what a sweet moment with Abby @bjkay22 I'm sorry that you cannot have both your mom and MIL there. I wish I could relate, I don't want either at any appointments or even in the waiting room at labor and deliver haha. Also, I LOVE our board, too. I can't believe how educational it has been and I love the healthy/respectful debates/discussions. But, I love having June and July around to feel my need to watch drama unfold.
@kpc0914 I love the names for your In laws! What a beautiful way to honor their heritage. Way to go for staying Team Green, as much as I thought I wanted to be, I'm glad I was able to be convinced by MH (not that it was hard) because I'm looking forward to finding out!
And of course, I love our board, too. So many sweet ladies, I'm so glad I decided to join the board.

@sandbar517 That is such a sweet moment! I love the way little kids get excited for babies. Our nephew who is 2.5 doesn't live locally but every time we FaceTime he wants to see my belly over and over and is always asking about the baby. So cute!
@bkjay22 I love our board too! I don't think I've ever seen an online group where people are so respectful and yet so fun. I honestly feel like my pregnancy would be so much worse without it.
How far along are you? When is your due date? What size is baby?
20 weeks today! Due May 8, and baby is banana sized apparently.
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves?
I think I'm maybe feeling movement now? Although I still find hard to distinguish from normal digestive processes and sometimes I'll feel something at one end of my belly then a minute later on the other side so it makes me question if it could have been him. Rave is I'm happy to be sooo close to vacation, starting Friday I have 13 days off! I'm overall feeling pretty good, already getting sick of having to get up multiple times in the night to pee, but I'll accept that in trade for being less exhausted and nauseated all the time. Rant is that my tastes are still off in weird ways. Last night we went to a big lobster dinner for my Dad's birthday and the lobster tasted really bad to me even though everyone else seemed to enjoy it, and I usually love lobster. It made me sad.
Now that I'm close to half way there I'm getting hit with more anxiety and worries about the actual process of giving birth and actually have to, like, raise a human being.
Any upcoming appointments?
My anatomy scan is in 3 hours. I am really looking forward to having that over with. Then on Thursday I have my next OB appointment. I hope I can pepper her with tons of questions about what our hospital is like to get a better idea of how to mentally plan for the birth. Our hospital no longer allows pregnant ladies to take a tour of the facilities so there's no good way to get an idea of what options there are.
GTKY: What names do/will your parents and in-laws go by as grandparents?
It's not totally set yet, but I think my parents are leaning towards being Grammy and Grampy. My mother was considering being Granny but I think that sounds too old! We need to ask my in laws when we see them over the holidays but I expect it will be Pépère et Mémère since that is the typical Acadian way, although I know SIL had wanted them to be the more formal Grand-mère et Grand-père with our nephew.
@thunderberry that's really odd that they don't allow tours of the hospital... do they just not allow one off tours, are there specific times that they set aside for group tours that you can sign up for or a birth class through the hospital that includes a tour? We did a birth class through the hospital when I was pregnant with DS and part of the class was a tour of the labor and delivery floor as well as the NICU.
How far along are you? When is your due date? What size is baby? 19 weeks - mango What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? I just got over a super painful earache, and am in the midst of a terrible head cold. I'm like a 3-year-old, rubbing my ears and snot everywhere. But I'm off this week, and am shamelessly sending my kids to the YMCA program so I can make the house look habitable and finish holiday shopping before my family comes down later in the week. Any upcoming appointments? Anatomy scan on Thursday! Looking forward to confirming that everything is going well. I've finally started to feel movement- just yesterday- which is a relief because I was getting nervous. GTKY: What names do/will your parents and in-laws go by as grandparents? They both go by Grandma/Grandpa- neither live in town so the boys differentiate by location. "Omaha Grandma/ Grandpa" and "Minnesota Grandma/Grandpa.
@bwow615 it's extremely frustrating. There used to be a birth class at the hospital and it included a group tour of the birth unit, but then due to government cut backs the class was eliminated and replaced with an online course (also extremely frustrating because an online course is not exactly helpful for the thousand questions ever mother has). They got rid of the tours even before that claiming it was too disruptive to the people giving birth, but I honestly think that's a bullshit excuse since it's not like the tour would be poking their heads into occupied rooms! I'm going to ask my doctor about it this week but I've had multiple people tell me that there's no way to get a peak unless you're lucky enough to be invited in by someone who's actually a patient.
@thunderberry that's insane! Hopefully your OB is helpful in answering the questions you have. I personally didn't care so much about the tour itself, but it was really nice to at least know where to go for labor, and be able to ask them more specific questions about what to bring/what's provided for you, and more hospital specific questions that the OBs might not know or care about. I love the names for your in laws, too! I love all the nods to family heritage. Edited because I forgot to tag @k5678 I hope you feel better soon!! Ear aches are the worst! And edited again because I wanted to say that I'm super hungry for lobster now, thanks @thunderberry! LOL

@bjkay22 I had the same issue and picked one for the AS and was going to take the other to a 3d ultrasound but I ended up needing another AS cause baby wasn't cooperative so I'm taking the one who didn't go the first time.
How far along are you? When is your due date? What size is baby? 19+6 5/9 size of hedgehog today but not sure tomorrow. What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? Feeling good. Had my AS yesterday and then put the crib together. Any upcoming appointments? 1/5 for OB and 1/22 for a follow up AS GTKY: What names do/will your parents and in-laws go by as grandparents? We're boring so I think just grandma and grandpa.
How far along are you? When is your due date? What size is baby? 19 + 5 / May 10th / mango?
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? Feeling very normal except for what feels like a ginormous belly already (STM). I didn't do many bump pics last time, but I did one at 20 weeks, so I'm looking forward to the comparison in a couple of days.
Any upcoming appointments? AS tomorrow! We already know it's a boy from blood tests, but I'm excited to have it confirmed. I always worry there was a mistake somehow. Anyways, excited for that, but always a little fearful that they'll find something wrong. I'm a worrier if you can't tell!
GTKY: What names do/will your parents and in-laws go by as grandparents? My mom: Grammy In-laws: Grams & Gramps
@sandbar517 your GTYK Q is eerily timely for me ha. I saw my mom yesterday/today and she was saying how someone asked her what her grandparent name will be and she was like, "Why does this matter?" My mom has a lot of opinions. (She also started yelling at me when I showed her a dress I was considering for the baby shower.) Also, good luck at the AS! That is so exciting it is on your birthday!!
@kpc914 I also am glad to just have DH in the room with me for scans and appts. Maybe I'd want my mom around for the birth, but she lives far-ish, doesn't drive, and won't leave her dog so I am pretty sure she won't be there.
How far along are you? When is your due date? What size is baby? 20 weeks and 1 or 2 days. Due 5/6 or 7. Size of a banana or an axolotl.
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? Long rant: I have a really wonderful MIL but she was annoying me on Sunday on two accounts.
My bump has officially popped, but she was saying how she could tell earlier. Earlier it was just bloat. When I woke up and wasn't bloated, no bump. When I ate, hot air balloon tummy. But no, I didn't have a bump the last time I saw you and just please do not comment on my gassy tummy. She is also super skinny and always calls herself fat so I think she has some body dysmorphia or something and so she was fixated on commenting on my bump on Sunday. I'm kind of bummed I popped (I follow too many fitness models on instagram who didn't pop until like 26 wks), so I don't really wanna hear about it all evening.
She keeps on saying she thinks I am having a boy. She KNOWS I desperately want a girl. Every time she says it's gonna be a boy, my heart sinks, I get a pit in my stomach, and I get either sad or rage-y. I know it is ridiculous/stupid how badly I want a girl instead of a boy, but we find out on Thurs and I'll get the eff over it I'm sure, but just stop saying it's a boy to my face. It really upsets me. Just keep your thoughts to yourself or tell literally anyone but me. And if it is a boy, I am going to lose it when she says, "I told you so!"
Any upcoming appointments? Anatomy Scan on Thurs. I am obviously mostly concerned with making sure LO is healthy and everything looks okay. But, as discussed above, I'm ready to find out the sex of the baby.
GTKY: What names do/will your parents and in-laws go by as grandparents? Ha @thunderberry my mom is planning to go by Granny. She has so many opinions on the grandparent name trend MIL is Mimsy and FIL is Pa. But our nephew is still too small to say these names. I wonder if their names will change when he can start calling them things.
How far along are you? When is your due date? What size is baby? 19w 3d - mango
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? Just getting over my chest is to come home and find DH has a fever. Ughhh I hope I can avoid catching that one!!
Any upcoming appointments? Yes AS is Thursday!!
GTKY: What names do/will your parents and in-laws go by as grandparents? There are 4 grandparents and they go by grandma & papa and nonna & grandpa
How far along are you? When is your due date? What size is baby? 19w3d, May 12th, zucchini What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? I have officially popped. Or at least I think I did. From Friday to Sunday the belly was a huge difference in size and it seems to have stayed big. I will be back at work tomorrow after last being there on Wednesday so I plan tomorrow share the news with my colleagues. Any upcoming appointments? Thursday is my anatomy scan! I can't wait. I'm quite anxious tomorrow confirm baby is growing healthy. Although my midwife appointment isn't until Jan 17th so isn't hope I can get at least at bit of info from the tech. GTKY: What names do/will your parents and in-laws go by as grandparents?
Great question! We have been talking about this all weekend with my parents. My mom wants Nana but my dad isn't sure. In laws will be Grandma and Papa since that's what our nieces already call them.
Sorry I'm a bit late to the convo! I agree that our board and the ladies are great and I'm so happy to hear how well things have been going for everyone and how some bad news has turned into good Good luck with all the upcoming appointments!

What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves?
I have officially popped. Or at least I think I did. From Friday to Sunday the belly was a huge difference in size and it seems to have stayed big. I will be back at work tomorrow after last being there on Wednesday so I plan tomorrow share the news with my colleagues.
Any upcoming appointments?
Thursday is my anatomy scan! I can't wait. I'm quite anxious tomorrow confirm baby is growing healthy. Although my midwife appointment isn't until Jan 17th so isn't hope I can get at least at bit of info from the tech.

Sorry I'm a bit late to the convo! I agree that our board and the ladies are great and I'm so happy to hear how well things have been going for everyone and how some bad news has turned into good
Good luck with all the upcoming appointments!
