Team finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): kumquat
Upcoming appts: not until 9/6. I’m eager to get there and hear the HB so I can start telling people!
How are you feeling?: Mostly good. I was horribly tired all day yesterday and spent the entire afternoon in bed. But functioning today!
Rants/Raves: I’m over this awkward phase of not really telling people and just looking chubby. I want a bump and I want to tell!
Questions: I know at-home doppler machines have been mentioned. If you have one, is it worth it? What kind do you have? I’m not sure I can wait until 9/6...
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music? Classical! Specially, choral music. But I like a little bit of (almost) everything.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): LEGO man
Upcoming appts: Sept 4 check up with my OB
How are you feeling?: Tired, boobs hurt. I'm a normally very empathetic person but pregnancy brings me to tears even quicker than before. There was a really bad accident in my city last that involved teenagers and I drove by it on my way to work this morning. It's made me really sad all day.
Rants/Raves: A rant and rave all in one story: I went back to work today for meet the teacher. I love my job and the school that I work at and was excited to see my coworkers and met some of my students. But only half of them showed up so I'm worried that they are going to be a group of parents that rarely read their emails which is my primary form of communication. I don't want to be wasteful and print off our weekly newsletters and that also means that I'll have to be really proactive and write my newsletters ahead of time. I'm a mega procrastinator. So I'm hoping it's a fluke and for some reason the parents just didn't receive the email from the school about the event.
Questions: None
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music? I like a wide variety: alternative, rock, jazz, country makes me homesick. There isn’t a whole lot that I don’t like.
@kantobean I’m ready for the bump to arrive too! I have a hard time with word vomit so some of my coworkers know and I’m planning on telling the rest on Thursday when we have a staff meeting
EDD/W+D: March 18, 10w6d
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): cardinal tetra fish
Upcoming appts: NT scan on 9/5. I mailed in my finger stick blood drops on Monday.
How are you feeling?: Not great. I keep thinking I am better and then I feel like garbage again. I keep thinking I am done with puking and then it comes on all of a sudden.
Rants/Raves: DH has been on a business trip. He gets back after midnight tonight. I’m excited for him to be back to help me with DS. Also DS isn’t going to sleep and I’m spent today. Please go to sleep, lil dude.
Questions: I feel like I actually had one but it’s gone now
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music? Alternative rock

Baby is the size of a(n): strawberry
Upcoming appts: just had one today and it was awesome to get some answers to my questions. Should have NIPT results in two weeks.
How are you feeling?: Honestly other than my boobs being on fire and huge, I’m totally fine. I have random bouts of nausea but that’s a lot better too. Also DD slept through the night for the first time in 10 days (she has been sick) so I feel like a new woman!
Rants/Raves: Rant is my shitty insurance. I have been trying to be proactive about all expenses and it seems this pregnancy is just going to cost a lot more than my first bc of my different insurance. My raves are so many but mainly getting to hear the baby’s heartbeat today and being released to go back to the gym after a two week hiatus due to bleeding. Also my ob told me today that I can def pick the day of my csection which is like a blessing for a planner like me. So I think this baby will be born March 13, 2020 (as long as my ob is there to deliver).
Questions: none
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music? Everything depending on the atmosphere. Aggressive screaming is not usually my fav.
@AAAG13 I *also* have terrible insurance and--TBH, I have just been ignoring how expensive this is all going to be because we... CAN'T afford it but like--I'm going to have a baby? So, like, what am I supposed to do? I know I will have to be more on top of the numbers soon, but I am waiting until I don't feel like garbage all the time.
EDD/W+D: 3/21 10w4d
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out/not telling (my one BFF is gonna go nuts when I tell her she can't know bc no one can.)
Baby is the size of a(n): brussel sprout
Upcoming appts: 2 weeks from today!
How are you feeling?: A dog fart nearly made me puke this morning, but I am otherwise not terrible but not great. Tired.
Rants/Raves: We got our roommate! So our household is now 3 people, 3 dogs. There's not much more barking than usual, since our 2 dogs already bark soooo much.
Questions: Anyone else have to, like, change clothes at some point in the day bc of their daily/nightly difference in waistline? I feel like I am two different sizes in the morning and evening.
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music? probably folk? if I had to pick a fave. in terms of what I listen to, which seems to be more the way everyone is answering this, I would say "everything" except screamy music. I really love hip hop and 80s90s country and r&b and international music and alternative and blues and and and--
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out. Like, within a week!
Baby is the size of a(n): Key Lime
Upcoming appts: NT scan next Friday, Diet appt with midwife on the Monday after that.
How are you feeling?: Intestinally, not well. Things are turbulent in the BM department.
Rants/Raves: I don't have another shift at the hospital until next Thursday! And we'll probably have the results of our Counsyl/Myriad/whatever test by then! Also we're painting the outside of our house this weekend.
Questions: I don't think so.
@kagesstarshroom I've noticed that my waist/size fluctuates, too. Probably bloated vs. less bloated?
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music? I like all kinds of stuff, too, but I listen to 1970s folk/rock the most.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding Out
Baby is the size of a(n): Fig
Upcoming appts: Sept 9th
How are you feeling?: super queasy and tired, and bloated. Oh the bloats...
Rants/Raves: I feel like I'm being a terrible wife and mother because I constantly feel like I'm going to throw up... which puts me either on the couch or bed. And it doesn't help that my husband sarcastically huff and puffs about my lack of help for our toddler.
Questions: None.
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music? I've been listening to the Colbie Calliat station lately.

That reminds me of my partner. I said I couldn't control my emotions one day and he said, "well that's debatable." He had made similar remarks previously and also lamented about how he's the only one who is taking care of things around the house regularly, which just made me sad more than anything (and then angry, but then back to sad). I ended up getting him a book for expectant fathers that explains the changes in a woman's body and hormones, etc. It's actually really helped him understand what I am going through and he's been SO nice ever since.
I think men just don't understand, though. It is what it is.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out! Soon hopefully - had my NIPT drawn today.
Baby is the size of a(n): Profiterole
Upcoming appts: I had one today! I had the NT and the NIPT. OMG, it was so cute. The baby had his hands all over his face and I had to wiggle around to get him to the right position. It looks much more human now! I go back on Oct 2.
How are you feeling?: Slightly better. I had some nausea relief last week but it came back with full force over the weekend. Today has been a bit better.
Rants/Raves: I am too bloated for my clothes but don't have a much of a bump at all so maternity clothes don't fit either. Womp Womp.
Questions: None at this time
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music? I'm so not picky; I listen to everything but country.
