Baby is the size of a(n): good ol' apple
Upcoming Appointments: a/s a month tomorrow!
How are you feeling?: good
Rants/Raves: im in that awkward thick and chubby phase. Ready for the bump to pop. I think I popped around 18-19 weeks with ds so I hope I'm close.
Questions: nope
GTKY: I'm sort of neutral. I don't mind it, but we don't make a big deal about it. We use it as an excuse to have an extra treat. I make sugar cookies every year which are always a hit at work.

Upcoming Appointments: Tuesday to check the SCH - probably still there seeing as I was spotting a few days ago.
How are you feeling?: Still nauseated - zofran did zero.
Rants/Raves: I had to switch to maternity pants. My regular jeans just were not feeling good. However I don't quite have the belly to hold them up so much, but anything is better than what I was feeling before. Ordered some things from Khols.
Questions:
GTKY: thoughts on valentine's day? Love it? Hate it? Traditions? DH and I started dating 2/10 so its always been more the highlight instead of Valentines day. But sometimes I wish he would do a little something.

Baby is the size of a(n): peach
Upcoming Appointments: Regular appt on Thursday
How are you feeling?: Having some sharp pains in my abdomen when I cough or move to quick, going to talk to the doctor about it. Round ligaments maybe?
Rants/Raves: rant- I am so sick of snow and ice! We have had 7 snow days in the last three weeks! We will be in school until July. 🥺
Questions:
GTKY: thoughts on valentine's day? Love it? Hate it? Traditions? I love Valentine’s Day! I teach middle school and the kids are so funny with their little loves that day! It’s adorable.
Baby is the size of a(n): Peach
Upcoming Appointments: None until my cervical length check on 2/20.
How are you feeling?: Not too shabby. My nausea hasn’t been as bad lately, but my heartburn is getting worse. Also, one of my hips has been hurting me already, so that’s sad.
Rants/Raves: I need to buy more maternity clothes. I got rid of mine when I thought we were done having babies and now I’m getting a little thick around the middle.
Questions: none at the moment
GTKY: thoughts on valentine's day? Love it? Hate it? Traditions?
I think its a corny Hallmark holiday, but I love to celebrate it for my kids. I put little hearts on their doors throughout the month, telling them all what we love about them, we make them a special Valentine’s Day breakfast, and we usually buy them a little Valentine’s Day gift. My husband and I don’t celebrate it much, maybe a card and some chocolate covered fruit.

Orange
Upcoming Appointments:
Next Monday have a check-in with the nurse practitioner
How are you feeling?:
A little less tired (I think?)
Rants/Raves:
Got all our tax stuff together last weekend, so I'm feeling accomplished there.
Questions:
GTKY: thoughts on valentine's day? Love it? Hate it? Traditions?
I don't really have strong feelings either way. I usually cook us a nice steak dinner for Valentine's Day, but this year we're going to go out to eat the weekend after.
Baby is the size of a(n): Navel Orange
Upcoming Appointments: 2/21 for checkup and 2/26 for anatomy scan
How are you feeling?: tired but overall better
Rants/Raves:
Questions:
GTKY: thoughts on valentine's day? Love it? Hate it? Traditions? I like it. I have nothing against it. My DD loves it, so that makes it more fun. I need to come up with a tradition, we don’t have one now. She gets her valentines from us in the morning, that’s the only tradition.
@moon1417 I hope the SCH is resolving!
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 8/3 15+2
Baby is the size of a(n): Avocado
Upcoming Appointments: Tuesday- regular prenatal checkup
How are you feeling?: Ok. I have been having some pain in my right upper abdomen so google has me convinced there is something wrong with my liver or gallbladder. I'll bring it up tomorrow. Other than that, just tires of the mid-late day nausea.
Rants/Raves: It's Monday
Questions:
GTKY: thoughts on valentine's day? Love it? Hate it? Traditions? I like getting flowers from my husband and I'll probably get a cute little stuffed animal for my daughter. Not big traditions.
Baby is the size of a(n): Avocado
Upcoming Appointments: Next week...I have no idea what's happening on this appointment. We've only had 1 ultrasound, but I feel like with our other two we would've had a 2nd look by now. We did get the results back for the NIPT and everything came back negative and it's a girl!!
How are you feeling?: A little more energy (unless I eat a meal, then it's lights out). I had some hip pain over the weekend, but I took a nice long shower in the middle of the day and that helped out a lot.
Rants/Raves: Over the past 2yrs I lost quite a bit of weight (over 65lbs). I finally announced my pregnancy to my co-workers last week. Now I'm dealing with the off-handed remarks about either not showing enough and maybe I should have them recheck my due date, to laughs of how I will no longer be the smaller one of our group. While I have refrained from throat punching people, my sarcasm is 2nd nature. I apologized to one lady this morning for a remark I made, after she stated I was carrying a skeleton. I didn't want to, but I felt like I probably should. I blamed it on not having coffee that morning. But I have a feeling that will be the last time she decides to comment on my pregnancy. I just hate how something can be so special, makes people think they can say any and everything.
Questions:
GTKY: thoughts on valentine's day? Love it? Hate it? Traditions? No big traditions, we may do a dinner, or DH may cook us a nice dinner. DH's bday was on the 1st. To be honest, by the time we get to the 14th, I'm celebrated out after his birthday, superbowl and still feeling New Years, so it's not a big deal to me.

Navel Orange
Upcoming Appointments:
Check in on the 22nd
How are you feeling?:
Anxious to find out if we're having a boy or girl!
Rants/Raves:
I only have to worry about what to bring for lunch 2 days this week, yay!
Questions:
GTKY: thoughts on valentine's day? Love it? Hate it? Traditions?
I like it. Being an elementary teacher, it's always a fun day. Plus it's my parent's anniversary.
Baby is the size of a(n): orange
Upcoming Appointments: 2/25 for regular check up
How are you feeling?: Good - just round ligament pain. I know it's normal, but it still freaks me out whenever it happens.
Rants/Raves: I don't know how I'm going to manage sleeping on my side for the next 5 months. I've always slept on my back so I bought a pregnancy pillow early on to help with the adjustment, but I still somehow wake up on my back.
Questions:
GTKY: thoughts on valentine's day? Love it? Hate it? Traditions? My husband and I are usually on vacation during this time of the year, but I just started a new job and we have to travel for a wedding next week, so we decided to skip (or maybe postpone) this year.
