Re: Group 2 check in (7/9-7/16) Week ot May 6th
Baby is the size of a(n): zucchini
Team (Green, Blue, Pink, Finding out): pink
Upcoming Appointments: next week
How are you feeling?: wack ass dreams make it hard to sleep, but otherwise feeling good!
Rants/Raves: despite some chaos in our lives, DH and I took some time to relax and enjoy each other this weekend. It was much needed!
Questions:
GTKY: What mother's day/father's day traditions do you have in your family? As a kid, my sister and I always made breakfast for the celebrating parent (with the non-celebrating parent's help). Now that I'll be a mom for thr first time, I'm trying to decide how to celebrate, if at all.
Baby is the size of a(n): motorcycle helmet
Team (Green, Blue, Pink, Finding out): pink 🎀
Upcoming Appointments: Friday. 3d/4d ultrasound/growth scan
How are you feeling?: pregnant.... finally back aches, don’t want to bend over to pick things up, and extremely constipated
Rants/Raves: I just want my husband to do the dishes for once.... that’s all 🤣
Questions:
GTKY: What mother's day/father's day traditions do you have in your family? We always spent mother’s day/ Father’s Day with the opposite parent as kids. My parents are divorced. But now apparently Mother’s Day is all about my MIL. I’m apparently not even a mom when it comes to Mother’s Day. LOL
Baby is the size of a(n): zucchini
Team (Green, Blue, Pink, Finding out): pink
Upcoming Appointments: two weeks
How are you feeling?: still mostly good, but definitely moving slower these days
Rants/Raves: I usually don’t mind Mondays too much, but it’s gloomy and gross out today and I just want to lay in bed all day!
Questions:
GTKY: What mother's day/father's day traditions do you have in your family? Nothing big, usually just do lunch or dinner with everyone. This year I’ve decided I don’t want to get out of bed on mother’s day, so celebrating with my in laws on Friday and my mom on Saturday.
Baby is the size of a(n): acorn squash (But for 30w tomorrow says zucchini? How is that bigger? Lol)
Team (Green, Blue, Pink, Finding out): blue
Upcoming Appointments: growth scan this afternoon
How are you feeling?: Tired and achy. Baby has seemed quiet this weekend. I'm thinking he is less active when I am more active (like taking long walks on the weekend or cleaning the house). Trying not to worry because I did this last week and ended up in L&D for monitoring and everything was fine. It's messing with my anxiety though.
Rants/Raves: Tired of being so stressed out
It is really wearing me thin. Hoping some things get resolved soon.
Questions:
GTKY: What mother's day/father's day traditions do you have in your family? We used to wear roses to church on Mother's Day. Red if your mother is living, white if she died. These days it's a Facebook post and a card if I can remember
Baby is the size of a(n): zucchini
Team (Green, Blue, Pink, Finding out):Blue
Upcoming Appointments: Waiting in the dr office right now😊
How are you feeling?: A little tired and my veins have been bothering me a little, but can't complain!
Rants/Raves: Just thankful for an easy, healthy pregnancy. My sister in law is suffering with hyperemesis graviderum and isn't due until October. She's constantly sick and in and out of the hospital 😢 She says she's never having anymore (this is her first) and I can't blame her! Just wish I could help her out!
Questions:
GTKY: What mother's day/father's day traditions do you have in your family? We are a very non-traditional family lol! I think my sisters and I are going together to get my Mom a weeping cherry tree this year, at my Dad's suggestion. Probably just get my mil some flowers. We sometimes go mini golfing or boating on fathers day.
Baby is the size of a(n): platypus with no tail
Team (Green, Blue, Pink, Finding out): pink
Upcoming Appointments: May 17th - in my 2 weeks duration
How are you feeling?: mostly good minus the uncomfortability and constant Braxton Hicks
Rants/Raves: rant, annoyed with people that feel the need to brag about their great situation (or act like they know everything) when they know I’m struggling in that particular area 😣
Rave, we enjoyed a nice beach day as a family yesterday and it was much needed!
Questions: none
GTKY: What mother's day/father's day traditions do you have in your family?
No traditions here! We’ll probably just take it easy (bad weather forecast all weekend) and maybe do a family dinner.
Baby is the size of a(n): small claw otter
Team (Green, Blue, Pink, Finding out): pink
Upcoming Appointments: next week for check-in & growth/just for fun ultrasound. Excited to see her!
How are you feeling?: My sciatica and SPD pain are more consistent/frequent, but not necessarily worse I guess. More generally uncomfortable, but not in a specific way. Still feeling pretty good I think!
Rants/Raves: Pretty much all rave over here this week: the renovations on our house are progressing faster than I thought; I LOVE how the house is looking; we had a fun weekend in SC for a wedding this past weekend; and my baby shower is Saturday! 💖
Questions: I don't think I've had any Braxton Hicks. Or I guess, if I have I don't know it. Is NOT having them normal? Seems like everyone else is...
GTKY: What mother's day/father's day traditions do you have in your family?
We did breakfast in bed when we were kids like a lot of y'all. We don't have huge traditions now though. We're planning on cooking brunch for them Sunday am this year 🤷
Team (Green, Blue, Pink, Finding out):green
Upcoming Appointments: Acupuncture tomorrow, group next week
How are you feeling?: huge and mostly uncomfortable - unsure how I'm still 2 months out from baby eviction 😂
Rants/Raves: The weather has just turned AMAZING all the sudden - the house is still half in boxes, but tomatoes are in the ground!
I wish moving around was easier. I had to bail on the zoo with DD and H last week because I just couldn't hack it. Margarets also been pretty challenging, which combined with my physical state hasn't necessarily brought out my best parenting, so most nights I go to bed feeling pretty guilty about that.
Questions: Nada
GTKY: What mother's day/father's day traditions do you have in your family? We usually did breakfast in bed and maybe a fun activity. This year I know Kevin has a massage scheduled for me then we'll go up to my parents house for ribs - it should be nice.
Baby is the size of a(n): slinky dog (LOL)
Team (Green, Blue, Pink, Finding out): blue, and I'm getting anxious that the new royal baby hasn't been named yet because if they pick a name off our already short list, I'm going to be SO MAD
Upcoming Appointments: OB appt yesterday, ultrasound today. Baby boy has not been cooperating since the 20 week scan when he was too active to get good enough pics of his heart. Then again at 24 weeks he kept his fist clenched over his chest, but today he was looser and they probably finally got pics of his heart and his hand! Bracing myself for a stubborn little mini-me
How are you feeling?: now that I know he is flipped upside the "pressure" I've been feeling in the bottom of my uterus makes sense. Discomfort when bending over (thank goodness for ballet deep pliés!) and my arm is sore from my TDaP vaccine, but I'm glad I got it.
Rants/Raves: already. over. having. to. pee. every. time. I. stand. up.
Questions: Wondering if any family will give us pushback if we ask them to get their TDaP vaccines as well. We have a lot of teachers and small kids in the family and I'm just so worried about how easy it is to transmit whooping cough!
GTKY: What mother's day/father's day traditions do you have in your family? Honestly, nothing really comes to mind. My parents just always liked going out to breakfast/brunch. I'm looking forward to starting my own traditions
