Re: TTGP Grad Check-In 4/25
Baby can detect light through my belly now. That's pretty amazing! And supposedly she's in there, kicking away and having dance parties, but I haven't felt any evidence of that yet.
How far along are you?

Anyone have an appointment this week?
Had one Monday. Her heartbeat is still there and a strong 150 bpm 💖
Cravings/Symptoms?
I'm feeling pretty awesome this week! No more nausea at all, getting slightly more energy. But now I have tailbone pain whenever I sit 😥 I'm craving sweets this week. Easter candy started a dangerous trend...
Rants/Raves/Randoms?
Rave: it's almost the weekend, and I have plans to hang out with my mom this weekend! ❤❤
Questions?
How is everyone doing on name discussions?
GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would it say?
Warning: frequently hangry!
What's going on this week? Apparently baby can hear properly so I'm trying to get MH to start singing to it
How far along are you? 16+4
Anyone have an appointment this week? Nope, but I have one next week. My doppler has really kept me sane between visits
Cravings/Symptoms? Nothing really, but I have been having a really tough time waking up lately
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I started a pregnancy journal at 13 weeks and have been enjoying filling that out each week. We're so far along now guys! There's 2 whole other BMBs younger than ours
Questions? Has anyone decided what type of saving or investment plans they're doing for their baby?
GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would it say? If planning to waste my time, proceed with caution
How far along are you? 14+1
Anyone have an appointment this week? Nah, not till May
Cravings/Symptoms? Lots of pulling sensations if I move just right. It doesn't hurt but it definitely catches me of guard. I feel like sleep is getting rough again.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? So tired from a few nights of waking a lot. DS still stays in his bed so it's really just me. My dad was scheduled for vascular bypass if his carotid yesterday (side effect from radiation due to laryngeal cancer). Turns out the damage was less extensive then expe and *I think* they were able to do a stent instead. So far everything is on track for him to come home today. Hopefully this will be his last scare for a while as I have no intentions of having more kids (something has happened every time I've been pregnant, losses included)
Questions? Nope
GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would it say? Probably just a notation that I'm a typical Saggitarian. Hard to read (show little emotional reaction, restless, kind of bitchy....)
@marbellie the dopplar has given me some peace as well. I definitely made DH verify before posting our announcement Sunday. Just knowing things sounded good was a big relief. Also, the first 2020 board will be opening shortly! There will be 3 below us!!
How far along are you? 17 weeks, 2 days.
Anyone have an appointment this week? Not until May for the AS.
Cravings/Symptoms? I have been having these intense upper stomach pains. It's awful, but when I asked my doctor about them he said they were digestion issues, which is lovely and ladylike.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I woke up at 4 AM wide awake and starving. I ate some bread and cheese (because I'm me), went back to bed, woke up a few hours later and was still starving. I'm like Ms. Pac-Man. I need to be eating and avoiding ghosts at all times.
Questions? Is anyone else going to have a super small baby shower? Because my husband and I relocated out of state recently, I am not physically close to family or friends. I could maybe trick three people into coming. It just feels so lame and like, "why bother?" However, I am visiting my mom back home in June and my sisters want to throw me a shower there. I feel like it would end up just being my mom, sisters, and me because all of my friends live across the United States. I might be super lame.
You are so good for keeping a pregnancy journal! I really need to pick mine back up.
@prpl11butterfly I hope that your dad recovers smoothly and quickly. Also, yay to fire signs!
@elle-0409 small baby showers don't have to be awkward, the setting would just be more intimate (like a congratulatory dinner maybe). Also, I'm happy that my username inspired such a pretty name potential
@prpl11butterfly, I hope everything goes smoothly for your dad from here out! ❤
@elle-0409, what kind of cheese makes the best midnight snack? I ask the important questions. // I will be having two showers: one out of state for H's side, which will basically just be his female relatives and I think 2 close friends of his mom. And my local to me shower will be mostly female relatives, a handful of work peeps (maybe? Still debating if I should invite coworkers) and exactly 3 friends. I have exactly 3 local (female) friends. Idk if that's lame or not, but I don't mind it. A lot of my friends are spread out across the US, and my local group is small, but super tight. It seem lame (and I get especially self conscious about my small friend group when comes to occasions like showers when my mom says things like "the guest list is so small!!") BUT. The few friends I do have are ride or die people, the kind you call in the middle of the night to help you bury a body. 😉 So I don't mind it.
@marbellie and @elle-0409, I actually just bought a pregnancy journal last night! I didn't think I wanted one, but when I flipped through it at the store, I had to have it. I am looking forward to filling in the last 16 weeks and then keeping it up to date from here.
And as far as names, for us, I *think* our name is probably chosen already. We have had a girl's name picked out for many years, and I think because it's always been just hypothetical, now that it's real, I'm scared to really commit. That being said, I bought a baby name book, and nothing I've read in it so far even comes close to the name we have tentatively picked. So I am pretty sure we'll end up with that name, but I'm just not ready to admit it yet, and may not be ready to admit it until she is born 😊😊
What's going on this week? Baby is as tall as a newborn bottle??? Okay TB, if you say so.
How far along are you? 15+3
Anyone have an appointment this week? Next week on Wednesday, just regular OB
Cravings/Symptoms? Still the same. Definitely thinking I'm feeling this little girl move, especially when it feels like something is doing somersaults in there.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? DS is here with me and it's kind of fun. I get a pizza lunch with him today. We also are going to Disneyland this Saturday, specifically CA Adventure.
Questions? nope
GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would it say? lol not sure. My thinking cap is not on right now.

We bought the SoCal 3-day park ticket so we have two visits left. My brother's ex-fiance works for Disneyland so we used to go a bit more. I *FOR SURE* will not be going for at least 6 months+ to Disneyland after May because the Star Wars land is going to make it super packed. There's an okay amount of rides that I can go on, and the ones I can't, I just walk through with the family until it comes time to board the ride. If it were my first time ever to Disneyland/CA Adventure and I was KU, I would probably feel like I'm missing out on rides, but I've been on them all so many times, I'm just happy to walk around and eat all of the delicious food.

@stephanie123456 @lillywonderland I just finished planning a Disney World bachelorette day for my sister in June -_- I already am not looking forward to the heat, lines, or inability to ride all the rides (Disney has a list of the "pregnant friendly" rides @lillywonderland so maybe Disney Land does too)
@marbellie TY! I know there’s plenty of KU-friendly rides (...just not the good ones 🤣, LOL!!). Mostly I just don’t want to go because...crowds. You’re brave to go to FL in the summer!! (...or do you live down there? I forget!) I am sure you’ll have plenty of fun eating all the sweets! Do they have churros in DW, too? DH ate like 6 in one day when we were there (DL) once.
Also, I think Disney should give discounted tickets to PG women. I love the non-PG friendly rides
