Re: TTGP Grad Check-In 5/9
Baby is the size of a side of guac or a sweet potato. She might be starting to get hiccups 🥰
How far along are you?
18w4d
Anyone have an appointment this week?
No but my A/S is less than 2 weeks away and I cannot wait to see my baby girl!
Cravings/Symptoms?
I am feeling so great! My butt pillow is even helping my tailbone tremendously, so truly no complaints. I'm craving Portillos beef and cheddar croissant like whoa.
Rants/Raves/Randoms?
H and I have a quick trip to Chicago planned this weekend, so I will for sure be indulging in my Portillos craving. #killingit
Questions? I may or may not ask this every week..... how is everyone doing with name discussions?
GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure TV show/film/podcast?
Does The Office count? I have seen it approximately 25483 times and can watch it 16482 more times without getting sick of it.
How far along are you?
17w4d
Anyone have an appointment this week?
No.
Cravings/Symptoms?
Heartburn at night is bad.
Rants/Raves/Randoms?
Questions? I may or may not ask this every week..... how is everyone doing with name discussions? -- I'll just answer @galentine 's q... We do not agree on names. While I am a total fan of old, timeless, traditional names I am not big on super common names. DH basically only likes...John. No offense to all the Johns out there, but it's too plain for me. I think this is going to be a Birth Day decision (which is what it was for DS2).
GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure TV show/film/podcast?
The only show I watch religiously is GoT. We don't have cable anymore, so whatever I sit down to watch/stream is very intentional. I will say the reboot of 90210 has me VERY interested and I hope I can stream the whole season while I'm on maternity leave. Before kids, I binge watched How I Met Your Mother all the time (like every day).
@junebabyh yaas GOT, I like seeing everyone's theories and thoughts on our thread here. Also, I second the no to John! If it does become a birthday decision I think ladies should get preference based on what just happened haha.
What's going on this week?
Baby is the size of a side of an artichoke. Also, today the toes should be the size of peppercorns. MH and I marveled at that because 14 weeks ago it's entire body was smaller than a peppercorn.
How far along are you?
18w4d
Anyone have an appointment this week?
Had one yesterday. Just a short one (checked BP and HB) and everything looked good. What I'm most looking forward to is the A/S next week because I need assurance NOW that Baby is growing on target (since I have low PAPP-A levels and that's a concern).
Cravings/Symptoms?
I'm more hungry than usual. I need to make sure to have more healthy snack options around because I go from not hungry to "I'll devour a face" hungry too quickly.
Rants/Raves/Randoms?
MH and I are going to decide by tonight whether or not to buy the Owlet 2.0 since it's on sale. That will be our first baby purchase.
Questions? Nada
GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure TV show/film/podcast?
Guilty pleasure has to be my real crime TV shows... I feel guilty because it's so terrible but I am enthralled by it. Human beings get crazy
@junebabyh, since you used to watch HIMYM, I feel like you will appreciate this story. My H and I each went through a baby name book individually and put a dot next to the girl names we liked (I marked with purple pen, he marked with green). When H finished, I leafed through it to see which ones we matched on. And some of H's picks, were, shall I say, not my style. One of the names H marked as a "like" was Patrice..... 🙄 Nothing wrong with Patrice, obviously, but all I can think of is "NOBODY ASKED YOU PATRICE!"
Anyone have an appointment this week? Had my 16wk on Tue. Nice strong HB and trying to evade the doppler
Cravings/Symptoms? I still cannot take pills! My gag reflexes kick in at just the THOUGHT. It's so annoying. Otherwise pretty much the same.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? We are seeing like, 10 houses this weekend. Okay... not really. Only 4. 1 is in town, higher then we wanted and GORGEOUS but literally right next door to MIL (I kid you not, the next house..). The other 3 are in surrounding towns that are max, 15 min drive from current house. I'm hoping at least 1 of them pans out. I want to find "it" and we have been searching for soooo long now. Plus I really want this baby to have a room to put all the ish in lmao.
Questions? Nada
GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure TV show/film/podcast? I like teen dramas. PLL (and now the spin off). Secret Life was great too.
@prpl11butterfly Good luck house hunting this weekend!!
@junebabyh I'm sorry about your boss again. When I had my first loss my boss was preg. It wasn't hard to be around her though I did have that longing to be growing as well. Admittedly it was harder to see her LO once he was born.
@marbellie MH likes true crime shows. We end up watching them frequently and I'm just baffled that people are how they are. FX for perfect growth at your scan!
@prpl11butterfly, good luck house hunting! Would living next to MIL be a good thing or a bad thing? I could totally live next to my parents.... but no thank you to living next to my MIL!
@prpl11butterfly thanks! Good luck with house hunting. I'm in the minority here and would love to be next door to my MIL
@marbellie I love true crime as well. If you like PodCast Unsolved murders is amazing. I've listed to a few of Southern Nightmare and enjoyed them.
@prpl11butterfly I really really need to catch up on PLL. I got so far behind I stopped watching. I planned to catch up before the last season and that didn't happen. Maybe that'll be my maternity time binge.
What's going on this week? Baby is forming bone and fattening up.
How far along are you? 17+2
Anyone have an appointment this week? Nope nothing May 29
Cravings/Symptoms? I'm guessing I need calcium because I have been wanting milk. I don't generally like drinking milk at all. I wanted it when I was pregnant with DS too. Otherwise the cravings change, this week it was cinnamon rolls.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? Ready for this week to be over and ready for things to settle down after. Annoyed by my pregnancy eyes and that I've had to stop wearing my contacts, this happened with DS as well
Questions? Nope
GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure TV show/film/podcast? My biggest guilty pleasure is probably true crime. I say that as i'm sitting here watching Snapped. As mentioned about I have a few favorite true crime PodCast as well with my favorite being Unsolved Murders, I have Serial in my library but haven't tried it yet but have heard amazing things about it.

Sorry I've been MIA this week. DS started feeling sick on Wednesday and yesterday I was home from work to take of him so I'm back at my desk.
@galentine Have SOOOO much fun in Chicago this weekend. I've heard of Portillo's and I'm very jealous over here. Also not making much headway with the name stuff over here, I don't like so many girl names so it seems like we might be stuck with my great-grandmother's name...
@junebabyh So sorry to hear about your bosses' loss. I can't even imagine what she is going through, and also what you must feel too. Hugs to you both
@marbellie Did you end up buying the Owlet? I think it's super cool. Hope everything goes well with your A/S!!
@prpl11butterfly Yay for looking at houses! I'm keeping my FX for you guys that you fall in love with one! Personally, I could probably live next door to ILs (their next door was actually for rent last month and the thought actually crossed my mind if we could live there, but it's only a 2bd/1ba and it's TINY so that would not fly with two kids). I guess it depends on your relationship and boundaries. Actually, I see your response so maybe living next to MIL might not be good
@lillywonderland Hello there lady! Congrats on the little girl 💕💕💕💕
What's going on this week? Baby is the size of a Hershey's chocolate bar and getting fat! And so is mommy too (or it feels like it).
How far along are you? 17+4
Anyone have an appointment this week? Next week is A/S on Tuesday
Cravings/Symptoms? I've started to get this painful feeling in my pubic bone. It's so weird.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? DS was sick on Wed/Thurs so I'm super tired and nervous that I might catch whatever he had. But today we are celebrating mine and my boss' bday with lunch at Daphne's Greek so I'm excited!!
Questions? nope
GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure TV show/film/podcast? I like Teen Mom 2, but my all-time favorite is 'My 600lb Life'.

@lillywonderland, ahhhhh how did I miss this news!! Clearly my lurking skills have slipped this week. Congratulations on your healthy baby girl!! 💖
TTC #2: October 2018, BFP 02/02/19, EDD 10/14/19
@galentine SHAME!! 😉 But also thank you! We’re thrilled and delighted for a healthy baby! Also, add me to the vag hurting club!
How far along are you? 19 weeks, 3 days.
Anyone have an appointment this week? Next week is the A/S. I am so nervous, but am trying not to be. As long as everything goes well, we will announce on social media.
Cravings/Symptoms? Tailbone pain. I think I need a butt pillow, @galentine 😉
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I was tutoring one of my French students last night because she has an exam coming up. I literally said, “Now this is very important, so listen up. Oops. Nope. I lost it.” Thanks, pregnancy brain!
Questions? Has anyone else been gaining weight like it’s their job? Sorry, I know weight is a touchy subject. I read that at 20 weeks you should have gained 7-10 pounds, and I was at 10 pounds at 18 weeks. I just really don’t want a lecture from my doctor.
GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure TV show/film/podcast? I agree with true crime shows. Snapped is amazing. I have today off and I definitely watched KUWTK. My husband keeps threatening divorce, but watching plastic people be so extra is fun entertainment to me! Also, any kind of child pageant competition show.
ETA - I have gained about 10 lbs too. I really fell off the wagon with my eating the past two weeks and need to reign it in a little.

@kindbytealikat I can't do unsolved crime shows because then I think I would become paranoid haha (plus I love the gratification of seeing the arrest/sentencing). But I should look into crime podcasts for sure
@stephanie123456 ahh Teen Mom 2, I watch every week. Can you believe the Janelle news? I'm glad that they fired her finally. They should've done it this season anyways because I don't want every scene filmed on a bench.
How far along are you? 19w 3 days
Anyone have an appointment this week? nope, May 15th
Cravings/Symptoms? potato chips, really anything salty ughhhhh
Rants/Raves/Randoms? randoms: I haven't ever posted on this thread cause I wasn't sure what the acronym stood for but I was lurking and I relate to the hip/pelvic/vag pain. Its been so intense after work and if I sit for even ten minutes, it's moves my spine out of place when I get up and it hurts so bad, SO has to help me move 😭 I lock up so bad this pregnancy. I keep telling SO I have felt every part of this pregnancy since day one I swear. DS I got no symptoms except morning sickness til after the first trimester. DD I didn't til I found out she was there. This baby has been torturing me by bouncing off my bladder and stomach and giving me heartburn for weeks. I even thought I was past 15 weeks when I took the test cause I felt this baby jumping and moving. I was so shocked when we did the ultrasound and it showed 1 baby and I was only at 10 weeks. That means I took the test at about 6 weeks along 😳 this baby has let me know it's there from the get go😂
Questions? whats everyone doing for their pain? I want to go to a chiropractor. Doctor wanted me to do PT and was supposed to refer me but I think she forgot. They haven't called 😂
GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure TV show/film/podcast? so I never used to watch TV as much as I have the past 2 years. I'm trying to get back to it, but I still watch quite a bit. My guilty pleasure film is PS I Love You. I watch it all the time. My go to tv show is Supernatural. Or any CW DC show.
I'm sorry you are dealing with pelvic pain too, it's no fun at all. I haven't done anything yet about the pain, except for getting a donut pillow to sit on (although I think that mostly helps with tailbone pain). I have had a lot of recommendations to try a chiropractor, but I have never been to before and don't plan to try it unless the pain becomes unbearable.
