Re: Group 1 (2/1-2/7) check in w/o 9/2
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: 💕
Baby is the size of a(n): pomegranate
Upcoming appts: We have a scan on Friday with a MFM doc. I’m not sure if this is just to check if my placenta has moved, or if it is also my anatomy scan. Maybe both? Either way, I’m really looking forward to seeing her, and hoping they tell me the placenta has moved and that baby is still a she!
How are you feeling?: Meh. Still nauseous most of the time and waiting to feel movement. Also, feeling a lot of pressure down there, which I’m wondering is a sign that I may have a weak pelvic floor, esp after three kids. How do people remember to do kegels? It’s not exactly something I want to put on a to-do list. Lol.
Rants/Raves: No rants. Rave is that I’m excited for fall! This time of year always seems to fly by, and even though I promised myself I would try not to hurry this pregnancy along since it’s my last, I can’t help it. It’s been a rough one so far.
Questions: None
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music? I like dance/disco type music. Like classic disco. Or really Pop-y stuff.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out on September 21st!
Baby is the size of a(n): Artichoke
Upcoming appts: 9/18 for the anatomy scan
How are you feeling?: Feeling pretty good! Having some terrible back pain but my acne is finally starting to clear up and I’m feeling all the little flutters ❤️
Rants/Raves: My rave is all about my short lived energy this weekend. Decided to make most of the decor for our gender reveal party and I spent probably 5-6 hours on Saturday doing just that. I’m so happy with how it all turned out and I’m even more thrilled that I had enough energy to do it. Unfortunately I think I overdid it a little bit because my back has been worse ever since and I’ve gone back to being tired, but it was nice while it lasted. Come back soon energy!!!
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music? I really don’t have one. It just depends on the mood I’m in. I listened to a lot of instrumental in college for concentration, but at the end of the day, you never know what I’m going to be listening to. I can go from classical to rap in 5 seconds flat 😂
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Team finding out. Only 21 more dayS!
Baby is the size of a(n): Hershey Bar
Upcoming appts: Virtual appt in the comforts of my own living room on 9/9.
How are you feeling?: I am feeling great! Definitely starting to look a little more pregnant and less like I just eat too much. So yay for that!
Rants/Raves: Rave, finally starting to get the spare room, soon to be nursery, cleaned out. It is a MESS and has been a big stresser for me, so I am really anxious to have that completed.
Questions:
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music? Usually my car is tuned to country, but if I am feeling crazy, I love me some good old 90's or early 2000's rap.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): artichoke
Upcoming appts: September 13th
How are you feeling?: I’ve had all sorts of energy except today. I want to sleep all day.
Rants/Raves: DD1 started school today and she has been so excited. We have our anatomy scan next Friday and I can’t wait!
Questions:
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music?
I listen to the stuff that was popular when I was younger.. Incubus, Alanis Morissette, Usher, boy bands, Boyz II Men, Ashanti, etc. The genre of music varies but I can’t do country.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: green
Baby is the size of a(n): Artichoke
Upcoming appts: Friday for the anatomy scan and next week Thursday for my 19 week appointment
How are you feeling?: a bit more tired these days, but that is just adjusting to my new job and readjusting to earlier mornings for the first time since I started grad school 3 years ago.
Rants/Raves: Raves - Baby's movements started to feel much more like kicking and rolling this past weekend. ❤️ And we get to see him or her again on Friday.
Questions:
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music? I listen to a lot of different stuff, except rap and screamo, but my favourite artists are Josh Groban, Michael Bublé, Lady Antebellum, and Ed Sheeran.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out 2 weeks from today!!!
Baby is the size of a(n): Artichoke
Upcoming appts: 9/18
How are you feeling?: overall, I feel pretty good. I thought I was better in terms of food and things sounding good but I think I’m still having a lot of mild aversions to food. I do have more energy and have been working out but my round ligament pain has made me very uncomfortable when I sleep at night.
Rants/Raves: rant: not sleeping well because of the ligament pain. Plus I stood up too quickly last night and feel like I pulled every muscle in my stomach so that’s fun 😭 rave: finally started to feel the baby move more consistently and it’s helping to make all of this more real 😍
Questions: Any suggestions for how to reveal the gender to our family? we don’t want to have a party but I’d also kinda like to do something fun to tell our parents in person.
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music? Honestly I haven’t really been listening to much music lately. I’ve been listening to podcasts and audiobooks when I drive, so I feel way out of the loop when it comes to music (I’m only 28 when did I get so old 😭), but I guess I like pop music and still love the early 00s music for s throwback.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: 🤐
Baby is the size of a(n): tall as a Hershey bar
Upcoming appts: Sept 23rd for 20 week appt & anatomy scan
How are you feeling?: Really lacking sleep but otherwise pretty good. I do feel enormous though! I've got a serious bump going!
Rants/Raves: My mom seems much more excited about this pregnancy than my first. I think she was shocked/not ready to be a grandmother yet (we'd been married a year, owned a home, & we were 27 & 29🤷) but this time around I think she's just plain excited so that makes me happy
Questions:
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music? We love all types of music in our household! Something is always playing. But typically we gravitate towards country, oldies, & 80s 👍
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): postcard
Upcoming appts: Sept 18th for anatomy scan!
How are you feeling?: Amazing aside from sciata and being out of breath from walking a mile.
Rants/Raves: Rave: I felt baby kick last night with my hand!!! Baby was squirming around like crazy as usual when I go to bed so I put a little pressure with my hand (absolutely not expecting to feel anything, more as an I love you) and felt a kick! Had to have it happen a second time to believe it. This experience has made it so much more real for me instead of some crazy alien thing moving around in there.
Questions: none
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music?
I am not picky with music at all. I appreciate most genres even if I dont regularly listen to them. Anything that I can sing along with though would be a top choice (I use the word "sing" but I don't think others would haha)
