Re: Week 3 (May 17-24th) week of 10/28
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Green
Baby is the size of a(n): golden snitch
Upcoming appointments: Oct 31st for my first appt with my actual OB
How are you feeling? Still sick and just so exhausted. But I’m feeling pretty good!
Raves/Rants: I stopped progesterone last night and I felt like I already woke up less bloated... but then I looked in the mirror and realized it was all in my head 😂
Questions: not now
GTKY: What’s your favorite fall recipe? Chili! I love making my dad’s recipe and it’s nice and spicy 😋
EDD/weeks+days: 5/17 / 11+1
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out.
Baby is the size of a(n): A lime. Apparently as tall as a lego figurine but those two sizes don't add up to me.
Upcoming appointments: 11/11
How are you feeling? The morning sickness is so rough in the afternoon right now. Still exhausted. Just waiting for some second tri relief.
Raves/Rants: I need to figure out snacks I want to eat. I'm still so nauseous but nothing is sounding good at work.
Questions: Not really.
GTKY: What’s your favorite fall recipe? I usually love to roast some delicata squash with sausage but that doesn't sound good to me right now...
Bagels have been good for me (obviously not healthy) and yogurt with looads of granola has done well, too. I used to always snack on mixed nuts and those just sound gross now.
@jrouge12 snacks are a huge issue for me too, I’m not normally a big snacker but all I want is chips and other not good for me things. And dairy anything dairy sounds good.
Team: Finding out
Baby is a strawberry or heart of the ocean I see in a movie prop one 😂
Upcoming appointments: had a prenatal blood draw today and first official appointment tomorrow (the ones last week were to address the IUD).
Raves/rants: DS left a banana in his backpack last week and missed it when checking his bag so that was a gross mess last night. Work is tough right now I have quite a few people with major medical issues going on so that’s extra stress trying to help them and their advocates while juggling their services.
GTKY: I am a sucker for hot potato salad it is my favorite.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: green
Baby is the size of a(n): strawberry
Upcoming appointments: Nov 15
How are you feeling? bit the bullet and got bonjesta. the nausea is non stop
Raves/Rants: I have a cold, and i hate not being able to take anything!
Rave - i'm taking the kids to a trail of treats event tonight. thursday looks like bad weather, so i'm glad we'll get some trick or treating in in case it's a wash out on Halloween!
Questions: Nope
GTKY: What’s your favorite fall recipe? not sure. i just made pumpkin bread on saturday, so probably that! it's easy and delicious.
@mokay i've been wanting to make chili for weeks and cant get my act together to do it!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out Jan 3 (anatomy scan)
Baby is the size of a(n): strawberry
Upcoming appointments: 11/8 - 12 week scan
How are you feeling? I'm actually feeling great! I feel like the exhaustion is getting better - however insomnia is getting worse - I usually wake up between 12-3am and then I'm up for about 2 hours.
Raves/Rants:
Rave: We told our families this past weekend and it feels SO GOOD not keeping a secret anymore! My side of the family definitely had been suspecting and discussing behind my back (as I predicted - the lack of drinking clued them in). We also told DS (almost 4) and he is so excited and was excited to share his news with everyone.
Rant: we got a ton of snow yesterday/all night and I was really hoping for a snow day today, but no such luck. A lot of the other private schools were off today too, so of course all the kids are complaining about it non stop and while I have to stay on the admin's side - I'm secretly with them!
GTKY: What’s your favorite fall recipe?
Idk about specific recipe..but we cook a lot of acorn squash in the fall and a lot of minestrone soup (actually cooked this yesterday and was perfect for our snow day).
@mamaj1220 I hear you on the dairy. I'm sure I'm getting way to much right now!
@chewie5990 My school never cancels either! I love snow, so I'm a little jealous.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): lime
Upcoming appointments: NT scan on November 7, next OB appointment on the 11th
How are you feeling? Not bad. Last week was rough because of being super busy and not getting a night off all week, so hopefully this week will be better.
Raves/Rants: I'm really sick of our power being off. It went out on Saturday night and PG&E was supposed to restore it today, but there's supposed to be another major wind event tomorrow, so they're planning to do more shut-offs anyway.
Questions: None
GTKY: What’s your favorite fall recipe? Everything savory and warm! We went apple picking this weekend and I can't wait to use them all in various ways.
@chewie5990 you already scheduled the anatomy scan? Dang! Look at you being proactive!
team green
baby is fig sized
12 week nt scan is next week. Need to call midwife for next appt in 2-3ish weeks
feeling...blah but maybe a bit less blah than last week?
rant: I went to do all my blood work last week and was told my dr was supposed to have given me a separate form stating that I’m covered for the harmony test. So now I have to arrange to get the form and then go get poked again. Poo.
Fall recipes...nothing specific but I’m really into soups this time of year.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding Out
Baby is the size of a(n): Strawberries!
Upcoming appointments: First official OB appt on 10/31 - appointment buddy, @mokay19 !
How are you feeling? I don't feel like eating, basically ever. I keep trying to eat things, and it's about 50/50 if they stay down. I've been a slug on vacation tho, which has been making it easier. Back to the real world.
Raves/Rants: Vacation has been amazing. I'm a little sad to go back to the real world, but it will also be nice to be home.
Questions: Does anybody have a good list of questions for their OB? I've been putting together a list (what percentage of twin pregnancies end up with a C-section in this practice, how long will they let me go before a scheduled C-section, etc) but I'm sure I'm missing some.
GTKY: What’s your favorite fall recipe? I love a stuffed pumpkin. Or a good leek and potato soup. Mmmm soup season.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): Strawberry (though I think I prefer golden snitch)
Upcoming appointments: 11/25 - I had my first OB appointment on 10/25 but the phlebotomist was out so I guess I'll have to wait for blood tests (hopefully it's everything is good and it won't be a problem waiting)
How are you feeling? Actually starting to feel a lot better. Still tired, but feeling a little less nausea
Raves/Rants: My mom has been visiting for the last couple days and it's been amazing! She's helping so much on cooking and catching up on things around the house I've been neglecting
Questions: n/a
GTKY: What’s your favorite fall recipe? I make these chocolate chip pumpkin cookies that are soft, almost cake like, so so good
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team Green this time around. We were team pink with our first. I wasn't sure I would ever be team green, but my husband felt strongly about it so I'm committed.
Baby is the size of a(n): strawberry
Upcoming appointments: 10/31, tomorrow! Halloween! I've been waiting all month for this.
How are you feeling? Ok. This pregnancy is very different from my first. Not a whole lot of symptoms, but constant mild nausea. The only aversion I have is to pumpkin spice coffee. Mild cramping has picked up this week- I'm associating with stretching Ute. I feel like I wake up to pee 6 times a night- which seems excessive and I don't remember going that often with my first. Overall, feeling good.
Raves/Rants: When you tell someone you're pregnant, and they respond with "I figured"...I can't side eye hard enough. Like, spill, why did you figure. Choose your words carefully.
Questions: None right now.
GTKY: What’s your favorite fall recipe? I'm a foodie. But I also don't do a lot of cooking. MH takes care of dinners for our family, which I'm grateful for. I love chili, like others have stated. My dad's spaghetti is BOMB. And I know Mexican food isn't considered a fall food group, but we eat it like its going out of style, so, yeah.

TTC#2 April 2019They looked shocked but didn’t apologize. 🙄 people....
I am shocked that person didn't have the decency to apologize to you. how rude.
@louessbee- yeah, thinking back there were a ton of things I could have said in response, but I just stood there awkwardly and laughed it off. sigh.
