Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out, i had thought i could potentially ask last week at my appointment but the ultrasound was literally 2 minutes to see the heartbeats.
Babies are the size of a(n): a hand grenade / an action figuer / an advocado
Upcoming appts: Nothing this week, i have an endocrine clinic appointment next tuesday.
How are you feeling?: I generally feel ok in the mornings and as the afternoon progresses, i get more and more tired. To the point where i could go to bed for the night at 5pm but then im wide awake again around 9/10.
Rants/Raves: We are really struggling with transitioning dd into her toddler bed, she absolutely does not want to stay in her room on her own and since she can get out of the toddler bed, she does. We've given in a few nights purely because we need sleep and shes been in our bed but need to change tactics & find something that works cause im barely functioning today!
Questions: does anyone have any recommendations for books to introduce dd to the idea of new babies? we have already told her but im not sure she really grasps it just yet.
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing before summer ends? i dont really have much on the agenda right now, just taking it easy and chilling out.
Baby is the size of a(n): Creme brulee or Game controller
Upcoming appts: Aug 6th anatomy scan, aug 12th midwife
How are you feeling?: just nervous, felling more kicks would be reassuring. Other than that just super tired, I go to bed at 8:30 every night now.
Rants/Raves: had an awesome but tiring weekend! I also started a new food delivery service where you pick 3 meals and the ingredients come each week for the items to be made. I have the first month for very cheap so I'm excited to test this out Also my motivation levels for cooking have been terrible since pregnant, this should be good to at least give me some ideas.
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing before summer ends? DD's bday, some more swimming while it's still warm, enjoying going for walks anything really till the cold begins.
How are you feeling?: I feel like theres lots of stretching and pressure, some mild cramping randomly
Rants/Raves: still no movement... Trying my hardest to focus and feel it, but it's just not happening yet. It's my first and I have extra weight on me, so I know it will probably take longer than others. Patience is just not my strong suit. I did however paint the nursery this past weekend and I'm so excited to have it all set up.
Questions: n/a
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing before summer ends? Small gender reveal mid august. My best friend is coming into town to visit and it is perfect timing!
How are you feeling?: Smells still make me a little nauseous. I met with a client earlier today that reeked of cigarette smoke and I had to quickly and discreetly get away from him. I'm also crying at the drop of a pin. This weekend I teared up because my dog was so happy that we got her a new bed...lol!
Rants/Raves: None today
Questions: None
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing before summer ends? State fair! Hopefully my smell aversions don't get in the way of all the yummy fried food!
Upcoming appts: ultrasound near the end of the month
How are you feeling?: Physically a lot better, which is a huge relief.
Rants/Raves: My sister and her family has been visiting for the past month which has totally thrown off our schedules. We are so sorry to see them go, but also glad to get to back to a regular routine. They are from a very large city and accustomed to going out all the time and sleeping in, which is basically the opposite of us.
Questions: Not now.
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing before summer ends? School starts next week for me! Eeek! I am hoping we can still have fun after then, but it is always hard to.
Baby is the size of a(n): pomegranate, large onion, or as tall as a tissue box
Upcoming appts: 8/22 for the OB but I need to call and get scheduled with radiology for the Anatomy scan the week prior to my app
How are you feeling?: overall good except for some 💩 problems 😬
Rants/Raves: felt a really strong movement Monday afternoon! Other than that just some gentle kicks a few times a day.
Questions:
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing before summer ends? I really want to go camping at least once this summer, but we don't really have any friends that camp and my sister & her family are busy so they haven't gotten back to us on a weekend that works for them.
EDD/Weeks: So they moved my EDD to 1/9 based on a very early scan, but this is not physically possible based on the dates I had sex and when I got my BFP. So, in my heart my EDD remains 1/6, which is consistent with timing reality, the second growth scan, and the NT scan. 17 weeks.
Team: Girl
Baby is the size of a pomegranite
Upcoming appointments: I can take my early GD test any time between now and 8/15, but I think I may try to get it over with tomorrow. I anticipate it to go fine.
How are you feeling? Pretty good overall! Digestion is a bit wonky and of course I'm tired, as we all are.
Rants/raves: I'm feeling some movement but definitely less than I did with DS at this time. I know it's normal but kind of annoying.
How are you feeling?: Tired but better than I have been. I'm working on lots of baby blankets
Rants/Raves: nbr: I just found out yesterday I'm going to be an auntie!!! My brother and his wife just told us they are pregnant (with their first). I'm the oldest so I have yet to have a blood related niece or nephew until now!!!
Questions:
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing before summer ends?
I'm most looking forward to my two weeks off from work! I work for an integrated preschool and there is only two more weeks of summer session before I get two more weeks off for vacation!
February Siggy Challenge- Post pregnancy indulgences
@agrhicks I'm having the same issues with sleeping and my midwife recommended taking unisom. I'm not saying you should, but maybe just mention it to your provider and see what they say. I also am taking Natural Calm which is supposed to help for sleep, but doesn't for me. @valerie4786 Fortunately, Natural Calm has also been a huge help for bathroom issues. Last pregnancy I just suffered the whole time. I highly recommend it.
