    EDD/W+D: 20wk5d (3/18). I can’t believe how fast it’s going!

    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: sister.

    Baby is the size of a(n): microphone

    Cravings/Aversions: just.. anything that’s like a carb + cheese. My h made me a cheesy barley cauliflower casserole last night and it’s amazing. 

    Upcoming appts: a few weeks from now! It’s that weird second tri spot where not much happens. 

    Rants/Raves: I freaking hate daylight savings time. My kid’s schedule is all screwed up and I couldn’t sleep last night on top of her waking up, so feeling grumpy today. 

    Also. My uterus is huge all of a sudden and I feel like I can’t poop normally anymore. This was not really a prob for me until the third tri last time. Wah. Should probably lay off the cheese and carbs...

    ETA: a rave, hmm... I “boiled” eggs in the instant pot today and it was very easy. 

    Questions: can someone award me a day off to just... nap? 

    GTKY: Do you vote? Every year? In primaries too? hell yes. For the last eight years or so, anyway, since I belatedly got with the program. 🙄 Before that I was really only voting in the presidential primaries and elections.

    @orbmaker Cheesey barley cauliflower casserole sounds amazing. And yes lol, less cheese & carbs & more fibery stuff will help! Every day that I poop, I am grateful lol. 

    EDD/W+D    : 3/21, 12w3d

    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: not telling yet

    Baby is the size of a(n): popsicle

    Cravings/Aversions: I always have a better day when I eat food that is on the plain side, still, so I try to stick with that. My main craving is for... bubble tea. And I really love this Trader Joe's apple juice that I am currently polishing off, which is... interesting bc I don't always love apple juice! TJs is 45 mins w/out traffic away though so I'm sad I just finished it, though might make the trip again this weekend?

    Upcoming appts: Tomorrow morning I go in for my 20 wk appointment, which is the anatomy scan! 

    Rants/Raves: I had a shrimp tempura roll and an avocado roll and a salad for lunch and now I am super full. But lately I have been like fine, fine, fine, STARVING, FULL. And then eventually full doesn't go away, even if I am also hungry. Fun. 

    Questions: Do yall have other pregnant friends who live near you? I have none right now, but I'm going to a prenatal yoga class tonight--I signed up for the three-session series that starts this evening, and I really hope I make a friend!

    GTKY: Do you vote? Every year? In primaries too? Not always in primaries, but yes, I vote every year on election day--same as Orb, I didn't so much in my late teens/early twenties, but now I do! State voting is weird in Louisiana? Like, we voted last month, and it's always on a Saturday, and then anyone who doesn't win by 50% goes to a run-off election, the top two candidates one on one, which is the week of regular voting? But also I am pretty sure official election day isn't tomorrow but...this upcoming Saturday. I keep trying to remember to go do it today so I don't forget tomorrow/Saturday.

    @kagesstarshroom I was basically the first of my friends to get pregnant, so felt kinda isolated last time. I’m SHY and did not manage to reach out to anyone new (I think this is easier once the kid is earthside, cos then they can break the ice). This go-round, I’m in good company with a few friends having their first, which feels nice. I hope you connect with someone at class!

    @kagesstarshroom I did prenatal yoga Last pregnancy and made a couple of friends! I also did prenatal aqua aerobics through my hospital and met some friends there too

    Also if you can find a local moms group in your area for after baby comes, it is the best. I made a lot of friends that way and we have fun social events and playdates and I can’t imagine how isolated I’d feel without this group. 

    EDD/W+D: 3/18, 20w5d

    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: pink!

    Baby is the size of a(n): banana

    Cravings/Aversions: always specific cravings

    Upcoming appts: i think arnd 23 wks

    Rants/Raves: DS will not take his nap but I’m leaving him in his crib unless he cries. I’m so tired and I’m not in the mood today. Need a break.

    Questions: I feel like I had one, but it’s gone now

    GTKY: Do you vote? Every year? In primaries too? I vote at almost all the elections. But I’m not sure about tomorrow. I don’t know enough about the candidates here and I am feeling a little unjustified to just vote my party instead of learn about the candidates this time. My neighbor is running (not my party) and I think she’d do a good job at the local level, but I dislike her politics overall. I’m really conflicted on whether to go to the polls and maybe just skip the mayor part or what.

    @silverhope I really don't like water, generally, but for whatever reason I have been feeling like i want to take some sort of prenatal aqua fitness class--which i guess don't exist around here. I do know there is a moms group though! But I'm not sure I am a... moms group sort of person. I would need to find the RIGHT moms group... Anyway, you should vote anyway! It only takes a few mins to research the candidates. And maybe not for your friend haha, if you don't agree w/ her politics.

    Re: the mom group/mom friends discussion: I made a group of mom friends at a breastfeeding group after DD was born. It was just a place to chat with moms and there was a LC there to answer any BF questions. It was fun! I don’t stay in close contact with those moms now, but I see them once in a while.


    EDD/W+D    : 3/20, 20+3

    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: we think pink, but we will know for sure at our A/S tomorrow!!

    Baby is the size of a(n): banana 

    Cravings/Aversions: nothing in particular

    Upcoming appts: anatomy scan TOMORROW! So excited.

    Rants/Raves: Our musical is done at school so I finally have evenings again! Too bad it’s dark at 5:00.

    Questions: I had one but I forgot. Pregnancy brain! 

    GTKY: Do you vote? Every year? In primaries too? Yes. And for sure primaries for major offices. There’s not an election here tomorrow so I’m not voting this year I guess.

    EDD/W+D: 3/18, 20+6

    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: blue

    Baby is the size of a(n): box of dryer sheets (weird one, bump) 

    Cravings/Aversions: Meat. I had the same cravings with DD. Also baked sweets. 

    Upcoming appts: second ultrasound today because they didn’t get enough pics at the anatomy scan

    Rants/Raves: rave: love feeling baby kick. It’s at such random times and is always a nice surprise. Rants- RLP which I didn’t really have with DD, and  DST which has messed up everyone’s schedule and has led to me passing out on the couch around 8 and then not being able to fall back asleep when I actually go to bed. Also this go around I have noticed that if I overeat at dinner I then can’t sleep. I feel like this pregnancy has gone from not noticeable to suddenly huge in a matter of a week. 

    Questions: nah

    GTKY: Do you vote? Every year? In primaries too? Yes but not in the primaries.

    @kantobean I went to the first of a three-session prenatal yoga series last night, and I am hoping the other moms-to-be want to start a FB group after the session is over! It was so good. It felt so empowering to be in a room with, like, 10+ other pregnant women!

    @kagesstarshroom prenatal yoga sounds awesome! I’m going to have to look up to see if there’s a class around me 

    EDD/W+D: 3/24 20weeks 

    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: team pink

    Baby is the size of a(n): banana 

    Cravings/Aversions: applesauce and Gatorade, aversions to some meats and all of a sudden oatmeal makes me gag 

    Upcoming appts: anatomy scan take 2 in 2 weeks 

    Rants/Raves: rave: it was so magical seeing our baby at the anatomy scan last week! H is finally letting us talk baby names because we know the gender. Rant: my MIL loves to butt in whenever she can. We want to buy an Amish-built wooden crib and her response “why don’t you just look on Craigslist?”

    Questions: none right now 

    GTKY: Do you vote? Every year? In primaries too?  yes! Still have to after work tonight

    @corgmom There wasn't one for so long around here, and I was so grateful I checked again when I did! SO, if there isn't one near you, you should check on a regular basis! I was SORT OF annoyed that I had... emailed the yoga place who had featured one in the past to see if they were doing it again last month and the owner wrote back and said there weren't plans for one--and, like, you think she would have told me to sign up for their mailing list OR emailed me or something to let me know when there was one? Anyway. I saw it just in time to buy my spot and make it to the first class. It's only a three-session series and I want there to be more already!

    @silverhope the bump size comparisons are so weird. Like this week‘s fruit was a banana. Terrible comparison, bananas range in size. I mean babies do to but I feel like they could have come up with something more baby shaped.

    @silverhope that’s the color I bought yesterday! My doctor said it’s similar to women craving pickles—because of the electrolytes and salt! Yummm
