Re: All Groups Check-In (Week of 5/6)
@emily1052 Have fun on your baby moon! I hope it’s relaxing!
My boys named the baby "Mary" from day one. I have no idea why and they don't even know any Mary's or have any Mary's in their class so where they got that?? I hope they won't be disappointed if the baby is a girl and we don't name her that haha.
@quidditchcapn1120 I’m having a hard time with Mother’s Day gifts too. I can default to a gift card for a local ice cream place for my MIL but I’m at a loss for my mom
EDD / Weeks + Days: 11th / 17w4d
Rant - I need to find new snacks. Having to eat every couple of hours makes food get old, fast for me.

I'll try to be back for tags, got a few things to button up at work before I head to my appt.
ETA my question
@junebabyh, I'm so sorry to hear about your boss. How devastating. Hugs for your emotional rollercoaster too. ❤
@quidditchcapn1120, how annoying of your coworkers! They should mind their own business.
@grapeskittles4lyfe, I love feeling the hard lumps when I lie down too. When my symptoms disappear and I don't feel her frequently, it's a nice reminder that I really am pregnant!
@melanier26, mmmmm Hershey bar! Have you seen the Hershey popcorn mix? It's a mix of popcorn drizzled with melted chocolate, pretzels, almonds, and tiny Hershey bars. I'm addicted!
We have been calling her Boo since pretty much the day we found out I was pregnant. I think it started based on the Oct due date, and it stuck. It keeps growing on us, and I foresee us calling her Boo as a nickname even after she's born. ❤
10/3, 18w 5d
Artichoke
Feeling great overall! Just tired and having trouble sleeping. No cravings that I can think of.
Rant: I've had 2 people in the past few days tell me how big I am (my mom and a coworker). I'm just like Ok cool! I'm only 4 months! THANKS PEOPLE.
Baby is the size of a(n): Navel orange
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Green
Upcoming Appointments: Today at 11:45; I'm nervous and hope everything is okay. Limbo is no fun.
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Still lots of headaches, but I'm dealing. Lower back pain on one side and aches in my uterus when I move too quickly, but no real complaints, honestly. I do wish I'd stop sweating while sleeping and be able to sleep better, but I'll take that over nausea.
Rants/Raves: Not sure if this is either one, but we're still debating if we even care about going public on SM. I think DH wants to because he has a small friend group on there (I find it so admirable that he only has about 150 friends on there and people he actually truly cares about) and he wants to make sure everyone in his circle knows, but I kind of don't care either way on my own. If today goes well, I think we'll probably announce today. 🤷
Questions: Not really
GTKY: do you have a nickname you are calling baby? Mini Moo! I call my husband Moo because of his [weird] love of milk, so it seemed fitting to call the baby a nickname after him. 😊
@galentine I was having the same pain until I started seeing the chiropractor. It has helped tremendously!
@grapeskittles4lyfe I’ve been really teary lately too.
@meagan-t Good luck today! I agree the limbo in this stage is so hard.
Not sure if this is a rant or a rave, but my belly has reached the point where people who see me a lot but I haven’t announced my pregnancy to (eg parents at the playground, coworkers not in my immediate group) feel comfortable congratulating me on my pregnancy. Someone even gave me her seat on the metro yesterday. Yay?
”the baby”. We’re creative.
@junebabyh that's so sad about your boss!
@prpl11butterfly omg, I wish I had this problem. I have too much hair and now I'm even hairier.
@meagan-t the limbo is the worst! hopefully your appt went well today! as for posting on SM - I feel the same way. I don't think we're planning to post publicly until we post a pic of a kid, haha. also, woohoo for team green!
@galentine Boo is such a cute nickname!
@greenbean-2 glad to hear your nausea has lessened!!
EDD / Weeks + Days: 10/25, 15+4
On Friday I will finally pass my loss milestone. This week just has me super anxious!!
Our MFM calls it "the critter" so now so do we!
@junebabyh omg, I'm heartbroken for her. I'm glad she has you though, to lean on when she needs. Luckily you'll be able to read subtle cues for when she's needing some space ♥️
@galentine maybe an additional cushion on your chair will help?
Also, I feel like my reduced nausea statement needs a qualifier - I’m still taking diclegis and took it throughout my entire previous pregnancy (although I was down to 2 pills/day by the end last time). At my last appointment I mentioned to my OB that I might try weaning off the meds and he was like “Don’t. Just keep taking it.” If I get to the point where I’m feeling 100% most of the time, I’ll see if I can cut out a dose or 2, but my OB’s point was there is no shame and no harm in staying on medication if that’s what it takes.

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding outUpcoming Appointments: May 20th
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Allergies are back, so feeling kind of crappy today
Rants/Raves: Rant: I miss sleeping on my back.
Questions: I’ll get back to you…I always forget my questions.
GTKY: do you have a nickname you are calling baby? Pumpkin/Munchkin
Rant: I’m really bad at taking compliments in real life and get weird when people congratulate me on this pregnancy. I really expected negative reactions so I find it super awkward when people are excited for me and I freeze up like “yeah uh thanks...”
@meagan-t When I was pregnant with DS I went thru this super paranoid phase where I deleted soo many people off of Facebook and I’m around 150 now too. The thought of 250+ people seeing pictures of him freaked me out for some reason. It felt nice to purge haha
@sweetteaandswingsmama Every season when I have to buy my son new clothes I’m always surprised at how much he needs. He’s almost 4, you think I’d catch on eventually 🤦🏼♀️
@ineedsixeggs Ha, calling the baby a name my husband hates is something I’d do!

@grapeskittles4lyfe I love the NN smurf, so fun!
@melanier26 idt you want me snack advice, it’s quite similar to that of a toddler lol
@prpl11butterfly I’m sorry about you and DH, we’re having similar issues. Idk where the balance is.
@galentine I chuckled at ur size of, depending where I’m at that size is dramatically different. I’ve been having tailbone pain as well, especially when I have to sit up straight.
@obsessedwithoranges I’m sorry you’re still feeling sick. What did your OB say about the plecenta?
@steminist that would be so annoying with your mom
@stephanie123456 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, I HOPE YOU HAVE AN AMAZING DAY!!!
