Re: Group 3 (3/17-3/24) Check-in w/o 9/23
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: we’re having a girl!
Baby is the size of a(n): beet!
Upcoming appts: eep. I can’t remember. I think Oct 2?
How are you feeling?: Decent. I feel bad complaining about second tri cos it’s so much nicer than first. But I generally wake up with a dull headache and only really feel awake between 10 am and 5 pm. My belly is aching here and there as it balloons outward, but I don’t really mind that.
Cravings/Aversions: aversions to meat, but we don’t eat much of that to begin with. I eat one tuna melt per week when I’m at work (from the hospital cafeteria) and I always reeeeeallllly look forward to it.
Rants/Raves/Questions: my daughter is 18 months old tomorrow! I was so proud of her earlier when I told her to let me know when she was ready for me to go into the kitchen and make steamed apples and quesadillas for lunch (she’d just sternly resisted the idea) and after a few more minutes of playing she said “mama, apple, dinner, cook.” She proceeded to play and read by herself for twenty minutes! ❤️
GTKY: Happy Fall! What's your favorite autumn activity? Fall is one of my favorite seasons to be outside doing anything. Hiking, gardening, staring at the forest behind the house while my kid plays in the sandbox, etc. I love how the air smells.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out on Saturday! Pretty sure I saw a penis during our NT scan last week though lol. That would make me 3/3 for boys.
Baby is the size of a(n): troll doll
Upcoming appts: Elective ultrasound 9/28, midwife checkup 10/11, anatomy scan 11/5
How are you feeling?: My nausea is much more swingy now than it was before - I'll have good days then pretty bad days. Still pretty exhausted too. Occasional back pain or RLP. Feeling generally big for only 14w as well.
Cravings/Aversions: Most things are still aversions for me. Not too much in the way of cravings - I have been enjoying pizza subs and the occasional pickle. Someone here mentioned pop tarts so I've been eating those now too - I hadn't had them in a while!
Rants/Raves/Questions: My main rant is that I'm having a really hard time nursing DS2 at this point in my pregnancy. Latching is very painful and my supply is tanked. He basically just nurses to sleep but he has been asking for "booboo" over and over all night long lately. I was hoping he'd wean on his own like DS1 did when I was pregnant with DS2, but if anything he's asking for it more. I think I need to try and force it at this point because I'm pretty miserable at night, but it makes me sad thinking about doing that too because DS2 is going to be so upset by that process. Blah.
GTKY: Happy Fall! What's your favorite autumn activity? Fall and winter are my favorite seasons! I love the cooler weather and all the holidays/birthdays at this time of year. Doing Halloween activities with the kids is a lot of fun this time of year, and I love Thanksgiving foods!
DS2 10/2017
DS3 due 03/2020
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out 10/27

Cravings/Aversions: It depends on my mood but currently a maruchan cup of soup
Rants/Raves/Questions: my mind is blank right now lol. I’m just happy and feeling good!
GTKY: Happy Fall! What's your favorite autumn activity? Driving or hiking around to look at the foliage.
EDD/W+D: 3/20 I am 14+3
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Pink, we think!
Baby is the size of a(n): peach
Upcoming appts: Honestly can’t remember.
How are you feeling?: Good but tired!
Cravings/Aversions: Craving almost everything. Sweets, chicken, pasta, peanut butter, bagels....Not many aversions but I’m not too into red meat lately.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I’m just annoyed with people at work right now, but I’ll get over it.
GTKY: Happy Fall! What's your favorite autumn activity? Apple picking, taking DD to the pumpkin patch, decorating for Halloween, mulled cider....all the things!
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out Friday! Yay!
Baby is the size of a(n): Lemon
Upcoming appts: Elective ultrasound Friday. I
think my next OB appt is October 11th.
How are you feeling?: I’m feeling pretty good. Waves of nausea but nothing too bad.
Cravings/Aversions:
food is weird lately. Lots of aversions and I’m very specific and picky with what I want and that seems to change by the hour. Sometimes nothing sounds good but when I do find something that sounds good I can’t stop eating.
Rants/Raves/Questions:
My rant is the cold I’m currently dealing with.
GTKY: Happy Fall! What's your favorite autumn activity?
Fall is my jam! I love everything about it. I love, love, love cool and rainy weather. I love baking, the pumpkin patch, decorating. I love it all.
@kantobean Isn't it funny how the mere mention/suggestion of something can make you instantly want it?
@kailanae I hate that anyone else is feeling the on & off nausea, but at the same time it feels good to know i'm not alone. I hope yours (AND MINE) dissipate, like, now.
@orbmaker I wish it truly smelt like fall around here--it's like 90+ degrees out still today again though and staying hot/hotter over the next week. UGH. Real fall, I miss you.
EDD/W+D: 3/21 14w3d
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: we know--not telling.
Baby is the size of a(n): credit card?
Upcoming appts: 10/11
How are you feeling?: On and off terrible. And when not terrible, not great.
Cravings/Aversions: Doughnuts, berries, fruits, popsicles. Aversion to all things with strong/rich flavors, esp. spicy and garlicky food. Yuck.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I just ranted over in PGAL my main rant, so trying to think of something else for Group 3..... I guess I just wish I enjoyed being pregnant. I always felt like I would. But instead I feel like either complete trash or mostly trash or some trash. I know second tri JUST started for me, but I just want to get to that neutral place where I have a day when I DON'T feel like any kind of trash.
GTKY: Happy Fall! What's your favorite autumn activity? We have a lot of great festivals coming up in our area, so attending those!
@orbmaker ah your DD sounds like she is so advanced. My son is 17 months and he does not have all those words.
EDD/W+D: 3/18, 14w6d

Baby is the size of a(n): house mouse
Upcoming appts: 10/22
How are you feeling?: so full right now. I was so hungry at lunch and ate too much and still feel full 5 hours later. Sigh. At least I’m not nauseous anymore!
Cravings/Aversions: so specific at specific moments
Rants/Raves/Questions: I’m really tired right now. I did a stroller fitness class and felt SO good and was so happy abt it (since I almost passed out last stroller fit class), but a few hours later and I am ready for bed. And so full. I wanna eat dinner bc I didn’t yday and was starving, but so full. I feel like I complain a lot when pregnant
GTKY: Happy Fall! What's your favorite autumn activity? Hm. I am looking forward to dressing our family up this year. I’m excited to finish making my son’s outfit and I just wanna see the excitement on his face when we do cute Halloween events.

Baby is the size of a(n): peach
Upcoming appts: oct 14?
How are you feeling?: Still nauseous in the afternoons and evenings, but the fatigue seems to be lifting.
Cravings/Aversions: Food aversions seem to be lifting a bit. But strangely I still can’t fathom eating home cooked meals which sucks bc all I eat for dinner has been fast food. Cravings? I wish.
Rants/Raves/Questions: We just booked our babymoon to New York, I’ll be 20wks. Not very relaxing but I’m not going to risk Zika plus hubby said we will just do whatever I feel up to and I’m excited to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child!!!
