Re: Group 2 (2/8-2/14) Check In w/o 9/30
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Team pink!!!
Baby is the size of a(n): World's Best Boss cup from The Office
Upcoming Appointments: October 16th!
How are you feeling? So so so excited. After our AS on Saturday this feeling of "it's too good to be true" is starting to turning into "dreams do come true". Forgive me for the cheesiness LOL
Raves/Rants: Our birth classes and hospital tour are scheduled, so that's a relief! Still haven't found a house though...
Questions: Not right now!
GTKY: What is something you are REALLY looking forward to once baby is born? Everything. All the baby snuggles and watching DH be a dad.

Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Pink!
Baby is the size of a(n): Today's size fact was boring, however, I found a "baby size according to millennials, not fruit" article and at 21 weeks, the baby is the size of a bottle of sriracha.
Upcoming Appointments: Still unknown. Next week I'll start work and then we'll do all the health insurance/finding a new OBGYN stuff. I've been enjoying stalking the ultrasound thread and seeing the results of everyone else's AS since mine still won't be for a couple weeks.
How are you feeling? Saturday was an emotional rollercoaster - everything set off the waterworks. Other than that, just minor stuff - heartburn, bad skin, feeling huge, etc.
Raves/Rants: We get the keys to our new place today and move-in tomorrow. One of the few upsides of moving is that we get to reorganize and decorate a new place (including finally being able to go buy nursery furniture). I'm pretty excited for our IKEA trip on Wednesday. All of the stuff we currently own won't show up until mid-to-late October, though, so for the first couple of weeks it'll just be us, suitcases, and an air mattress.
Questions: None right now.
GTKY: What is something you are REALLY looking forward to once baby is born? Getting to know the baby herself as she grows. His eyes or mine? Short or tall? Is she a morning person like me or a nightowl like her dad? Picky eater (me) or human vacuum cleaner (DH)?
EDD: I'm due with triplets in February but they are expected to come anytime between Feb 1st to Feb 22nd.
WD: 14 w 2 d
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Green, we are not finding out the sexes.
Baby is the size of a(n): my update says the size of a baby chick today!
Upcoming Appointments: Oct 10th. I have appointments about every 3 weeks for US.
How are you feeling? I have been feeling so much better since 13 w 2d. I've been able to eat again, I finally gained a little weight and I'm less exhausted which is nice.
Raves/Rants: I'm finishing up our baby registry. Our families know. We are planning a major move back to our home country in 3 weeks which will be crazy busy.
Questions: no questions
GTKY: What is something you are REALLY looking forward to once baby is born?
To be honest I am feeling a lot of anxiety about 3 babies coming home. But I am looking forward to finally having our family. Its been a long road to get here.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Pink 💗
Baby is the size of a(n): chipotle burrito
Upcoming Appointments: just had my a/s last week and it went great! I have another ultrasound in 6 weeks to monitor her blood flow and growth. Waiting for the results of bloodwork to see where my antibody count is at
How are you feeling? I feel great! Second trimester glow and energy
Raves/Rants: it’s my sons first birthday today! I can’t believe I became a mother 1 year ago and I am halfway to being a mother twice over. It’s crazy.
Questions: nope!
GTKY: What is something you are REALLY looking forward to once baby is born? Getting all the saved baby gear out of my house! I am done after this so I get to get rid of the swing and the bassinet and the walkers and all that once Charlotte is done with them!
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Blue
Baby is the size of a(n): Endive? I've never seen a 10.5in endive but okay! "Where the fruits made up and the sizes don't matter!"
Upcoming Appointments: 10/23 for 24week
How are you feeling? Good! Nesty. Bigger than I did at this point last time around, but nothing beyond feeling oddly proportioned.
Raves/Rants: I'm having to slow down at the gym and it bums me out a smidge. I can't hold tension in my midsection while also breathing anymore- my diaphragm is feeling crowded already. We had fun with my sister this weekend finding out they're having a boy and playing at the botanic gardens while it's still warm in the afternoons.
Questions: Nothing at the moment.
GTKY: What is something you are REALLY looking forward to once baby is born? Baby wearing! I want a baby strapped to my chest day in and day out. If my toddler would let me I'd still be wearing him. I love the 24/7 skin to skin and can't wait!
@ACAC25 Glad you've been feeling better!
@kiwi2628 Glad the AS went well. Hope you guys enjoy your son's 1st birthday! How fun!
@craftywitch Feeling slower working out is so tough! But you're still doing it! So exciting about your sister's reveal!

Team: blue 💙
Baby is the size of a(n): axolotl
Upcoming Appointments: Not for a few weeks
How are you feeling? Awesome besides the sciatica! Little man’s kicks are strong enough that if my hands are on my belly holding my phone, my phone bumps!
Raves/Rants: DS accidentally head-bumped me in his sleep last night. I have a huge fat lip. It’s even bruised. I thought I was going to have to drive myself to ER for stitches, but upon inspection, the cut wasn’t deep enough.
GTKY: Drinking wine! But also breastfeeding. I really love that bond, and it made me lose weight super fast last time.

Baby is the size of a(n): baseball hat
Upcoming Appointments: oct 26
How are you feeling? Exhausted
Raves/Rants: so freaking tired today and most days really. Three is not my favorite age 🙈 and 1.5 is not so hot these days either.
Pregnancy wise I’m feeling pretty good! occasional headaches still but not at all as bad as they were.

The bigs boys meeting the new baby for the first time. 💙 Mushy newborn snuggles. Enjoying one of the fall beers I’ve stashed away until the baby comes. Mushy newborn snuggles.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Team Green
Baby is the size of a(n): Endive/weighs as much as a can of soda
Upcoming Appointments: Had our AS today! 10/29 for our next appt.
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Sleeping is getting uncomfortable. I toss and turn and don't sleep. It depends on the night. I took today off work for the AS and it was so nice to sleep in!
Raves/Rants: We can't have a water birth at the hospital I am delivering at, but I can labor in the tub as long as I want. I have started my registry, I am finally allowing myself to get really excited about the baby!
Questions: None for now
GTKY: What is something you are REALLY looking forward to once baby is born? Baby snuggles and giving love to our little one!
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: 💙
Baby is the size of a(n): some sort of banana.
Upcoming Appointments: Today! Just a check in.
How are you feeling? Pretty good! I get tired somewhat easily compared to my normal non pregnant self, but nothing unreasonable. I’ve felt more strain type feelings lately, but learning to navigate that.
Raves/Rants: We got our new family vehicle yesterday! Sooooooo excited!!!!!! We sold one of our cars (both of which were 2-door, and low to the ground, and it was becoming a struggle to get in and out easily). Compared to our small, older cars, this is a luxury yacht! Room for baby plus 7yo stepson plus all their stuff plus any extra stuff and friends!
Questions: Anyone else had Braxton Hicks? Think I had that the other night, but not sure.
GTKY: What is something you are REALLY looking forward to once baby is born? Just being a mom! I’ve been a stepmom for years, and I’m really looking forward to seeing this bio-mom thing firsthand and sharing it with my husband, as well as with my stepson who will have his first sibling.
