Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: 12/12 18w3d Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: team blue Baby is the size of a(n): cucumber, although I live in NJ and our cucumbers can be longer than a full term baby lol so I’m thinking they are referring to a pickle size cucumber haha. Upcoming Appointments: July 29 anatomy scan and then aug 1st ob apt How are you feeling?: RLP has started to kick in more and more. I’ve noticed if I get up too fast it’s worse so I’m trying to make a conscious effort to avoid doing that. Rants/Raves: rant is DS who’s 2.5 has been on a nap strike at home lately (naps amazing at school) but my rave is yesterday he climbed up on my lap on the couch. So I decided I’ll rock him like a baby and sing to him, within 5 me he was out cold. I don’t know the last time he slept in my arms but he slept an hour n a half on me and I loved every minute of it. Questions: anyone find any good amazon prime day deals for baby?
GTKY: If you could have a hall pass for one celebrity, who would it be? Hmmm John travolta from his pulp fiction days, or Chris Pine.
Upcoming Appointments: Today is my 18w appt and then my AS will be at 21 weeks.
How are you feeling?: Great! Just wish I didn't have an anterior placenta and could feel this baby move. Remind me when I am miserable in 12 more weeks that I wanted to feel the baby haha!
Rants/Raves: We officially listed with a real estate agent last week and got a little more serious about selling our house. I wish someone would come buy it because I dont want to be 9 months pregnant trying to move.
Questions:
GTKY: If you could have a hall pass for one celebrity, who would it be? Probably Ryan Reynolds, Luke Bryan, or Thomas Rhett
Rants/Raves: went to a few stores looking for maternity clothes with no luck. Drives me nuts all you can find is T-shirts, tanks, leggings, skinny jeans and maxi dresses. I need work clothes...
Questions: none atm
GTKY: If you could have a hall pass for one celebrity, who would it be? Stephen Amell/green arrow
@klmcguire we’re on the market also, no bites yet but with my luck it’ll be the worst time when we get an offer
@cnd29 I get all of my work clothes from JCrewFactory. My SIL and I have actually passed the pants back and forth, this is the ir 3rd pregnancy and they are still great. I can't recommend them enough. Also, I am so ill our house hasn't sold yet. The market in the town LESS THAN A MILE FROM US is ridiculous and we can barely get $80 a sq ft for ours. I am not salty about it at all. We have literally shown it 25 times over the last 35 days. I am over showing it.
Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: December 14, 18 weeks, 2 days.
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team blue!
Baby is the size of a(n): artichoke
Upcoming Appointments: Wednesday! Anatomy scan!
How are you feeling?: Achey and heavy, but in general, good.
Rants/Raves: WE GOT TWO CARSEATS! God bless the Exchange and their amazing sales on baby geartoday. DH went in to price check the Graco 4ever carseat against the Amazon Prime price (normally $299 each, on Amazon for $239)...and walked out with two, one for each of our cars, at $174 each. I'm amazed and thrilled.
Questions: None this week! If I have any though, I'll throw them up on the question board.
GTKY: If you could have a hall pass for one celebrity, who would it be? If he was still alive, Heath Ledger, hands down. But currently living...I do have a weird attraction to Marcus Mumford.
Baby is the size of a(n): Tomorrow he will be the size of a mango
Upcoming Appointments: I had an appointment today with my OB and anatomy scan Friday. Heard the HB again which is always nice ☺️ blood pressure good and I've gained 10 pounds so far.
How are you feeling?: I'm feeling good- just RLP mostly in my groin area, headaches
Rants/Raves: I had so much fun at the GoT convention!!! It was amazing 😍
Questions: Not at the moment
GTKY: If you could have a hall pass for one celebrity, who would it be? Kit Harington (he plays Jon Snow on GoT). He is sooooo hot. I'm actually going to meet him in October, he is going to a convention in Chicago. I don't care if I will be almost 32 weeks pregnant- I will meet him even if I look like a whale! 😂
Thanks all for the clothes shopping suggestions. When I needed them the first time, one of the local old navys still had maternity in store. I had some work pants I loved and even wore for probably a year after I had my son. They don’t even make that kind anymore and I’m not the same size I was then.
@klmcguire beyond frustrating to try to sell. We are the lowest price in my development but other parts of my zip code are selling below where we’re priced. We’ve only had 1 showing in over 6 weeks. We probably missed our window by a year and hubs won’t settle for a lower price. He’d rather wait and try again another time. Our neighborhood demographic has changed entirely since we originally moved here, and it’s affecting the school system negatively. That’s why we don’t want to stay.
Upcoming Appointments: 20 week scan next Monday. 🤞
How are you feeling?: I think I’m finally feeling the elusive “flutters”?? Seems to happen right after I eat if I’m paying attention. But also not entirely convinced it isn’t gas...
Rants/Raves: LOVE the maternity bras I bought from Cake. Huge game changer. No more underwire for me! Also loving my prenatal yoga class.
Questions: anybody else gaining weight in weird sprints? I gained literally nothing the first trimester, and then BAM...15 pounds in 2 months. My OB doesn’t seem concerned but it’s a little shocking when I step on the scale.
GTKY: If you could have a hall pass for one celebrity, who would it be? SO hard to choose...but probably Jason Mamoa. 😍
Upcoming Appointments: Tuesday I have my anatomy scan and then a check-up on Aug 1
How are you feeling?: MUCH BETTER!! WOOOOHOOO!!!! And loving that I can actually feel the Baby now. A lot! Love my baby wiggles!
Rants/Raves: NPR but I’m so proud of my daughter. She’ll be 2.5 in Sept and is kicking butt with her swim lessons. She loves jumping off the deck and going under water. Go girl!
Questions: Anyone have Kaiser insurance with access to a water birth?
GTKY: If you could have a hall pass for one celebrity, who would it be? Channing Tatum. No doubt.
Upcoming Appointments: just had the anatomy scan on on Tuesday, next up is my 20 week appointment on Monday
How are you feeling?: over being pregnant lol! Tired and tired of having to get up through the night to go to the bathroom
Rants/Raves: Rant - work is so busy right now and I am so tired!! Rave, we go on vacation next week and I can't wait to disconnect and just sit on the beach!
Questions: anyone have any leads for affordable but good maternity workout/athleisure??? My stuff is kind of still fitting but I think maternity would be more comfortable from now on, but I don't want to spend a bajillion dollars on stuff I'll never use again
GTKY: If you could have a hall pass for one celebrity, who would it be? I'm so lame I feel like I don't know any current celebrities lol
