Rants/Raves: Rave: I got a nice looking sling from wildbird for $50 and some key maternity clothes for like $100 in the last 24 hours. I am wearing some nice maternity pants from Pea in the Pod from my last pregnancy today and they are so comfy but look really nice still. I got them on sale but really like that brand. Today I got a cute plaid "maternity" poncho from Jessica Simpson, I am not sure what makes the poncho maternity and I'm hoping to keep wearing it in the future. And got some burgundy dress pants. Can't wait for fall yay!
Rant: I have nothing today I am happy.
Questions: nada
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Didn't we already do this one? I feel like I remember everyone's answers even. @brookert615 am I crazy?

Baby is the size of a(n): weighs as much as a deck of cards.
Upcoming appts: this Thursday, just standard OB check in.
How are you feeling?: Oh my gosh, in terms of nausea, I feel almost normal!! I cleaned my house and did like 3 loads of laundry on Saturday because I was feeling so good. Still fatigued, though. Slept in on Saturday, was up for like 3 hours, then laid down for a 3 hour nap, lol.
Rants/Raves: So happy to be feeling better. I don't feel like I'm in survival mode anymore. Hoping to enjoy these last few weeks of summer.
Questions: none.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Paris. Great wine, great food, museums galore, beautiful architecture, cafe culture, lots of parks, easy & convenient metro.
Upcoming appts: Seeing midwife on 9/5 - no U/S til anatomy scan 10/2
How are you feeling?: Wife is feeling great so far in 2nd tri, except for round ligament pain! Baths have been helping.
Rants/Raves: Rave- I feel so lucky to be this close to the experience of pregnancy; as someone who should not get pregnant due to health issues, I'd always planned to adopt. But this is so magical! I can't wait to be someone's mama.
Questions: Any FTMs NOT showing yet?? Wife didn't gain one lb in 1st tri and every time we think its a bump it turns out to be bloat haha.
GTKY: Taos NM is likely my favorite place I've ever visited. My dream is to retire to an earthship and write!
@malloryfrommn Survival mode! That's what my wife called it, too! It really felt like we spent all summer just anticipating 8 weeks, then 12 weeks. Now we can finally breathe
Baby is the size of a(n): avocado, orange, canary, eclair, box of crayons (lots of options across the apps!)
Upcoming appts: Today! We heard his sweet little heartbeat and I got blood drawn for the spina bifida test. Next appt is our anatomy US on Sept 27.
How are you feeling?: Starting to have some back pain but otherwise really good!! And I'm beginning to maaayyyyybeee see the start of a non-donut-or-taco-related bump!! So glad to hear most everyone is feeling good again!
Rants/Raves: Rave - LOVED hearing his heartbeat! It was great to have some reassurance. Rant - we got a new dishwasher and it's driving me a little crazy...it's been the recipient of several of my mood swings.
Questions: None
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? I feel like we've had this one before too @leksiL . Probably southeast Asia - we really love Tokyo so I'd give that a shot! But I studied and minored in French so would be wonderful to live somewhere I could use that.
How are you feeling?: Better! Last week was my first week with students and I come home ready for a 4 hour nap. Also starting to pop. I'm plus size so I don't think it's noticeable to others but I can tell.
Rants/Raves: Still in constant limbo between being starving and everything in my house sounding completely unappetizing.
Questions: None
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? I think we had this one already too, but I'd choose England!
@TennisLove30 I accidentally let it slip today because one of my students was playfully patting my belly while in line and I said to be careful (I teach 1st). His reply was "yeah, it's big" and I said "well there's a baby in there". He then asked me if I swallowed it 😂. I only think a few heard so I'll officially announce tomorrow most likely.
How are you feeling?: tired, still having break through nausea. I’m also feeling fat and unattractive, heh.
Rants/Raves: I’m officially “out” at work; yesterday was my first day seeing a lot of people at my other job site and everyone was so excited for me so that was nice.
Rant is that I’m OVER summer and ready for fall!
GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Somewhere with mountains and solitude and four seasons.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out September 27!
Baby is the size of a(n): Donut, peach
Upcoming appts: next week
How are you feeling?: really good actually.
Rants/Raves: Rave: This week is going quickly since I was on a marketing trip until yesterday. Plus we get off early Friday for Labor Day weekend!
Rant: I’m so ready to feel this baby move so I can stop being so paranoid. I felt #1 at 16 weeks so I’m paying extra close attention. I’ve had a couple feelings that MIGHT be baby but nothing for sure - could be all gas.
Questions: Nothing that comes to mind.
