@andromedacorrine2 mmm cookies.... The clothing is the biggest reason I'm finding out. I'm not moving to a new house and taking all our boy stuff if we won't be needing it.

@melanier26, good luck at your appointment today! Do you have a final boy/girl guess before you find out? I can't wait to see your update later!
@prpl11butterfly, Eeek! I'm so excited for you to find out baby's sex next week!
EDD / Weeks + Days:
Rave - my H is coming home today after a weekend away. I can't wait to see him!
Boating! I love being on the water! 🌞
@galentine I get that, a lot. It’s likely one or two things- most likely, Baby is on a nerve. Other likely and less fun option is to keep an eye out for tarsal tunnel to rear it’s ugly head sooner rather than later

Rants- I’m very annoyed that they diagnosed pre-e based off one not normal for me blood pressure reading yet didn’t say a word about it

How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Overall pretty good. I still get headaches, but I feel like most of them are allergy related. I also have random body parts fall asleep (today it's been my left arm over and over). In the morning, and when standing up after sitting down for a while, I waddle a bit until my body gets back into alignment.
Rants/Raves: The baby definitely popped out of my pelvis a week ago, which has helped with the constant mild waddle as well as the tailbone pain, which is a major win. Confession: I feel much better now wearing my maternity clothes and I milk it a little when out in public.
We also registered last Saturday, which was dreadful, but I'm really glad that it's mostly over. I'm just embarrassed that there are so many things on there (most as reminders for us since I'm not expecting a whole lot from any shower).
Questions: Eh. No, I don't think so.
GTKY: What is your favorite summer activity from childhood? Being outside, exploring the woods, climbing trees, playing with my TalkBoy, and just enjoying the outdoors.

I got on the flight 😉
@cmbt2 I can’t believe were more than half way. This is going by way so fast!
@galentine I’m getting the tailbone pain too at work. I make a point to walk around once every hour or two to get myself moving otherwise I am so stiff.
@Stephanie123456 I hear you on the 3 day weekend…could very much have used an extra day, just me, in the quiet house lol.
EDD / Weeks + Days: 21 weeks 5 Days
Baby is the size of a(n): Toothbrush
FTM/STM/TTM+: 2nd
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out (though I am convinced it’s a boy)
Upcoming Appointments: June….something lol
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Tailbone pain but other than that feeling good.
Rants/Raves: So I’ve been waiting forever to get my AS scheduled. My dr office is supposed to send over the paperwork and last week they hadn’t and of course their offices were closed Firday and yesterday. The place that does the actual tests don’t like it when you call them so I’m trying not to hound them but I feel like this should have been done by now and I don’t like to wait.
Questions:
GTKY: What is your favorite summer activity from childhood? Hmm well, we were poor so we didn’t get to go to a pool or camp so probably just playing outside, or going to VBS.

Also, @galentine I am proud of you for getting on that flight, girl!
We haven't bought GS cookies since my sister was in and I miss them, so these finds at Aldi's were perfect!!
I really can't believe how much I still have saved after I've gone through several times and gotten rid of stuff!!! I feel like a pack rat😂 at least I'm set on the clothes, but I do kinda wanna know just so I can start selling off.
My first registries were really just for me. I out stuff I wanted to remember on them. I had some family freak and tell me we're not gonna buy that. Uhm good, I put it on there for me is what I told them 😂
@cmbt2 is the Tarsal legs?? I went from my hands/fingers completely numb to my legs now 😳 even while standing at work, I have to dance around a bit. One girl keeps saying you can go to the bathroom, we all know you're pregnant. It's not that dammit, my legs go numb 😂
Also everyone with the pelvic/hip/vagina pain, that is exactly what I've been having. Feels like someone has a knee down on the top of my vagina and good Lord does it hurt. I never had this with either other kiddos. I got a belly band for free at the end of my pregnancy with DD but never used it and now I'm wondering if I should...
EDD / Weeks + Days: Oct 25/ 18 + 4
Baby is the size of a(n): sugar glider?
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team Green
Upcoming Appointments: June 11 for my anatomy scan... feels like ages away! Nervous too because I've had two abnormal MSAFP screenings but a normal u/s. So hopefully another normal 20 week u/s will be reassuring.
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Like everyone else my body parts are falling asleep. I am not allowed to exercise and am on pelvic rest due to placenta previa, so I just feel like a flabby blob, to be honest. Still taking anti-nausea prescription meds... will try to go off again this week.
Rants/Raves: I think I have felt baby move!!
Questions:
GTKY: What is your favorite summer activity from childhood? Swimming, eating popsicles, reading books (huge nerd over here), being outside.
