Baby is the size of a(n): pecan
Upcoming appts: none until 8/15
How are you feeling?: Good, exhaustion may be easing slightly
Rants/Raves:
Rants: I hate that I am not in the same shape I was when I got pregnant with DD. I’m the same weight just nowhere near as toned.
Raves: Overall I have felt good this pregnancy
Questions:
GTKY: What is your biggest/worse phobia (hint: phobias are irrational fears)? By true definition, none. However, I get serious anxiety when flying and take meds for it so I’m counting that.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): Strawberry (again)
Upcoming appts: Thursday I have a visit w/the midwives, hoping to hear the HB
How are you feeling?: like complete crap. I woke up last night and had to use the toilet, and could not fall back asleep. It took me an hour. Then I woke up with a splitting headache and bathroom #2 issues. I just want to go home and go to bed.
Rants/Raves: I loved up to CT to get away from stifling heat - what was with the heat index getting to 125 this weekend? Like seriously! I was sitting in a pool of cold water on our deck and still when I went in I was overheated.
Rave: I turned the morning around for DD this morning (2.5). She was grumpy and did not want to eat her toast for breakfast so I sat her in my lap and made a cheers with my toast. She said she didn't want to eat her toast, so I said "you don't have to eat it" and she did. Then she was whining because she didn't want to go to school today. Then I said I have a new fruit to show you - wanna see? And I cut a grapefruit in half and gave her a piece and she loved it. So i took out all the sections and she ate half and was happy to take half to school. So instead of tears because she didn't want to go to school I got a "bye mommy!" and a kiss.
Questions: Anyone starting to feel better? I have much less MS but still have crazy aversions.
GTKY: What is your biggest/worse phobia (hint: phobias are irrational fears)? I am really uncomfortable around clowns, but my biggest fear is being buried alive - I'm pretty claustrophobic. That is why learning to scuba dive was so scary for me but I am proud that I conquered that fear.
@jvk2012 I'm not in the same shape I was in with my first baby either haha. For the last year of TTGP I was only halfheartedly watching what I ate/exercising because I figured I was going to destroy it when I finally got pregnant anyway. After this one (and BF) for sure!

Baby is the size of a(n): Strawberry
Upcoming appts: 8/7 @ 12wks
How are you feeling?: Slightly better. Less nausea but the throwing up has increased, oddly. I'll eat something then immediately need to throw it up. Not fun. Still exhausted all the time.
Rants/Raves: Went on a weekend trip to Jackson Hole with friends this past weekend. Trip was planned before I knew about the pregnancy. I had to miss out on river rafting and the endless drinks. Lol. However, we shared the news with all of them this weekend and everyone was so excited. I couldn't have kept it a secret with all the throwing up I was doing. 😂
Questions: None that I can think of!
GTKY: What is your biggest/worse phobia (hint: phobias are irrational fears)? I'm extremely claustrophobic!

Baby is the size of a(n): truffle (yum, now I want one!)
Upcoming appts: first OB appointment on 7/30. No US scheduled, so wondering if they'll at least listen for a HB (doppler?)
How are you feeling?: nausea is pretty under control with B6/unisom, and making sure I eat frequently. Aversions are awful! I can't spend much time in my kitchen, otherwise I'm sure to gag. I made the mistake of just thinking about foods that I can't stand right now and I ended up dry heaving over the toilet. Also, DH has been on doggie feeding duty, but he'll be working past her dinner time starting this week. Just him talking about me taking over made me gag. Sounds like my FIL will be coming over to help out, lol.
Rants/Raves: I'm quick to complain about these unpleasant pregnancy symptoms, but when it comes down to it, it's just mindblowing that we're growing humans. How cool is that?!
Questions: STM and STM+ : What do you love most about being a Mom? This FTM is curious.
GTKY: What is your biggest/worse phobia (hint: phobias are irrational fears)? Spiders!! Big NOPE for me.
that and the snuggles.

Questions: Non FTMS, When did you all start showing for your first pregnancies?? I keep checking for a little bump
GTKY: What is your biggest/worse phobia (hint: phobias are irrational fears)? also throwing up @ibabyloveb87 !! So I've been eternally grateful to not have much nausea so far.

Questions:
GTKY: What is your biggest/worse phobia (hint: phobias are irrational fears)? Being trapped.
@malloryfrommn My fav is how innocent children are. They're just so damn pure.
@nhh11 I showed at 22 weeks with my first. For real bump- not bloat/food baby bump.
2nd around 15-17 weeks.
This one- I'll let you know when this carb bloat leaves.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Looks like it's a boy if SneakPeek can be trusted!
Baby is the size of a(n): Tater Tot
Upcoming appts: August 8!
How are you feeling?: Frequently nauseous and sleepy. Ready to rip out my sinuses after SEVEN WEEKS of a cold/sinus infection. Otherwise, getting excited as this whole baby thing starts to feel more real.
Rants/Raves:
Rant - my brother-in-law and his gf let us know at lunch time that they are driving through our town and needed a place to stay tonight. So we spent the afternoon/evening getting the guest room ready. And it's 9:15 PM and they're still an hour and a half away. I have work tomorrow. We've been going to bed at 9 because I'm sick and my husband is jet lagged. I freaking can't.
Rave - Looks like it's a boy
Questions: none ATM
GTKY: What is your biggest/worse phobia (hint: phobias are irrational fears)? That something I've done in early pregnancy has hurt my baby. That time that I was out in the sun all day...could my temperature have gotten too hot? That time my dog put her paw in my mouth...could I get toxoplasmosis? That kind of catastrophizing.
