Re: Group 2 Check-in (April 9-16) 11/4
Team Finding out/pink/blue/green: Team blue
Baby is the size of a(n): Pear
Upcoming Appointments: This Friday, OB appointment.
How are you feeling? Been feeling great! I was even able to meal prep and bake yesterday, haven't done that in months.
Raves/Rants: I am consistently feeling baby boy! I bet I (and others) will be able to feel him in the next few week on the outside.
Questions? N/A
GTKY: Who is your hero? Oh man...not trying to start any kind of debate but I admire all the children.young adults currently taking on the big issues and world leaders. I was not even remotely thinking of these issues or ways I could make an impact as a teen so I truly admire that.

Natural BFP Aug. 2019, EDD April 2020
Team Finding out/pink/blue/green: blue
Baby is the size of a(n): large onion
Upcoming Appointments: Nov 27th anatomy scan
How are you feeling? feeling good except for the pelvic pressure and minor back aches here and there.
Raves/Rants: work has been crazy busy of late and I barely have time to plan the baby stuff. We need to get started on the registry at least and try and secure a few items during cyber monday.
Questions? have folks decided on their babymoon destination?
GTKY: Who is your hero? - I would say my parents. My mom for having all the patience in this world, and my dad for being practical and compassionate at the same time.
Team Finding out/pink/blue/green: PINK!!!
Baby is the size of a(n): creme brûlée, yum.
Upcoming Appointments: Cardiologist tomorrow. Anatomy scan 12/4. We had an elective ultrasound to learn the sex today, plus I did the 3 hour glucose. Yuck.
How are you feeling? Mostly just tired. Hip pain comes and goes.
Raves/Rants: My mom called like 10 minutes after my ultrasound pretending she wasn’t trying to get me to tell her the sex. We’re going to do a small reveal with dinner at her house tomorrow night. Obnoxious that she can’t wait until we’re ready to share.
Questions? No.
GTKY: Who is your hero? - I picked this question because I wanted to answer it. My grandmother was pretty much the greatest, sweetest woman who ever lived and I’m so excited to get to name my daughter after her.

@sanpelligrino We're not sure if we're doing a babymoon, although I'd like to do at least a night away. Last time I was pregnant we went to a culinary resort in VT, which was great.
@mercury94 How did the glucose test go? How long do you have to wait for your results?
EDD/W+D: April 14, 16 w 6 d
Team Finding out/pink/blue/green: Pink!
Baby is the size of a(n): dill pickle
Upcoming Appointments: OB appointment on 11/14, ultrasound on 11/25. I'm also about to start progesterone shots to prevent preterm labor, so I'll be going in once a week for those. Joy...
How are you feeling? Not bad! The queasiness hasn't gone away entirely, but I'm able to eat much more normally now. Feel a few aches and pains, like a really bad shot of round ligament pain when I sneezed in bed last night!
Raves/Rants: This is the first week in a while that work isn't super busy and I'm really looking forward to it. There's still a lot of holiday prep to do, but no big meetings on my calendar to monopolize my time.
Questions? I'm curious how people are preparing for their maternity leaves at work. My goal is to set aside 30 minutes every Friday to work on planning, since there are things I'll need to get in order, and things I'll need to do early to make things easier when I'm gone. I'm overwhelmed by the thought, although I'm sure it will get easier as soon as I start getting organized.
GTKY: Who is your hero? Also not wanting to get too political, but honestly, Michelle Obama is a big one for me. I work at a bookstore and reading is a big part of my life, but I haven't been able to read at all in a couple of months because of the exhaustion and sickness. I finally got myself to start again last week by reading her memoir. I picked it up because I feel like I'm barely hanging on by a thread and I'm so inspired by the way she's lived her life and the way she's honest about her struggles.
Team Finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out right before Thanksgiving. Any fun Thanksgiving ideas for a social media gender reveal?
Baby is the size of a(n): pomegranate
Upcoming Appointments: tomorrow for regular checkup. Hoping they're happy with my home bps since it is always considerably higher in the office
How are you feeling? Pretty good
Raves/Rants: I guess this is both a rant/rave. Started potty training Friday. DS is great when naked, but as soon as anything is on his bottom, it's a disaster. Hoping daycare can work on it more.
Questions? None currently other than any fun ideas for a Thanksgiving social media gender reveal?
GTKY: Who is your hero? Probably my parents. I have 2 moms and I swear they went through a lot coming out to parents that didn't agree with their lifestyle and raising a child in a non traditional lifestyle.
@aresee sorry about the shots! Last pregnancy DH had to give me progesterone shots every night at the beginning of the pregnancy because we had done a frozen embryo transfer. We were so happy when we were done!
@Kathryn0903 I hope you BP is great at your apt tomorrow!

Upcoming Appointments:
anatomy scan 11/18
ob checkup 11/21
How are you feeling?
I feel pregnant and am anxious to feel the babies. Feels like way too long between my appointments!
Raves/Rants:
bump app sucks
Questions?
Anyone feel their baby yet? This is my 2nd pregnancy and I’ve had feelings that I think “could” be babies but nothing definite yet.
GTKY: Who is your hero?
Team Finding out/pink/blue/green: Blue!
Baby is the size of a(n): Orange
Upcoming Appointments: AS 11/21 and OB 11/27
How are you feeling? Pretty good! No complaints right now, so trying to enjoy it!
Raves/Rants: Daylight Savings sucked this weekend. DD was up at 4:30am yesterday and 5:00 today. I’m so tired!
Questions? None this week
GTKY: Who is your hero? My Mom has the most incredible work ethic and built a massively successful business while raising 3 kids. I also have to say my husband, sounds cheesy I know. He overcame a lot of adversity in life (and childhood) and ended up playing a professional sport for 8 years. He amazes me with his loyalty and dedication, it’s pretty impressive what he has been able to achieve while still being very humble.
@sanpelligrino I am hoping we can squeeze a weekend to Banff in, but I don’t know if a baby moon will actually happen for us!
@mercury94 Congrats on a girl! DD is named after my grandmother and I loved being able to use the name!
@aresee I’m trying to get ahead as much a possible. Doing a little each week, similar to you. My goal is to have all of our events planned through June, someone just needs to execute. I am planning to put together a binder for my replacement. I’m in Canada and will be taking an 18 month Mat leave so my position will be filled while I’m gone. I also went 4w early with DD so I want everything ready by March 1.
@Kathryn0903 I hope daycare can help, it was a solid 2-3 weeks before DD “got it”. I’m terrible at announcements/reveals, but I’m sure there has to be something good on Pinterest or Google!

@mercury94 - Disney sounds like so much fun. Congratulations on team pink btw!
@aresee - I'm a big fan of Michele Obama! I plan to read her book very soon
We're not entirely sure we are going to end up having a babymoon either.
With regards to maternity leave planning, this is something i've been thinking of as well. I plan to keep everything organized and send my manager emails with whatever he might need during my time away. I'm hoping he helps me with this as well, cos i'm not sure i will remember everything that needs to be handed off.
@Kathryn0903 - I hope DS's potty training goes well! A friends did a thanksgiving gender reveal last year. She had cake with a turkey on it that said "Waddle it be" and it had the gender frosting inside it. I'm sure pinterest has tons of ideas.
@mandarenee898 - A few days off sounds perfect before the twins arrival
@doraleigh35 - your mom and DH sound like amazing people!

@doraleigh35 Mine's posterior as well (i think the technician doing my scan mentioned it). But i dont feel anything just as yet!
@sanpelligrino I told DH that this is our baby moon and he was like “what’s that?” 😂
Team Finding out/pink/blue/green: blue
Baby is the size of a(n): pomegranate
Upcoming Appointments: anatomy scan on 25th
How are you feeling? Overall, great! My back is so so sore, but so far it’s manageable
Raves/Rants: rant: salmonella (in beef) & listeria (in veggies) have been all over the news here. I just want to eat without worrying! Rave: my appetite is huge which is kind of fun!
Questions?
GTKY: Who is your hero? My mom! She’s just the best! Also, before starting back to school I worked with kids with autism and developmental disabilities and those kids never cease to amaze me so it felt like I had new heroes each day.
