Re: Group 2 (May 9-16) Week of 11/18
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Lavender
Baby is the size of a(n): Peaches.
Upcoming appointments: Nothing for another four weeks.
How are you feeling? Ugh, I am sick again! My immune system is nonexistent because if this pregnancy. This is the 4th time ove been sick in 14 weeks. I feel like crap and I'm so over it.
Raves/Rants: I'm excited to travel to see my dad, brother, and extended family this weekend! They don't know we're having twins yet, so announcing that will be fun. But my dad's guest bed is so uncomfortable, so dreading that.
Questions: are the STM's doing registries? I started on and set it to private, just to have a list of what we still needed. But it feels kind of weird to me.
GTKY (stolen from Group 1/3): How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now? I've always wanted two kids. Until I had my second, then I wanted one more. Now we're about to have four. 😬
EDD/weeks+days: 14 +4, 5/14
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Blue!
Baby is the size of a(n): Peach
Upcoming appointments: 11/26
How are you feeling? My uterus has been feeling super tight and hard this weekend, it's been making me nervous. I don't remember feeling like this so early last time.
Raves/Rants: We had friends over from out of town yesterday and they stayed over last night. I had so much fun but also I feel exhausted today from entertaining instead of laying on the couch post DS's bedtime
Questions: Nah.
GTKY (stolen from Group 1/3): How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now?
I wanted at least 3 and I still feel the same way, I'm thinking 3-4.
EDD/weeks+days: May 9th/15+2
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): naval orange
Upcoming appointments: next week
How are you feeling? I am feeling really "stuffed." Like there isn't any more room in my stomach area. It is worse after I eat and I feel really uncomfortable. I remember feeling like this in my first pregnancy and once my bump started to get bigger, the feeling went away.
Raves/Rants: I am also getting over from being sick and ugh- not fun.
Questions: None
GTKY (stolen from Group 1/3): How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now? I always wanted 3. Then we had 2 and we decided that was all we could handle. Then my youngest grew out of the super hard toddler stage and we changed our mind and now are on #3! Definitely no more after this one, though.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out this Wednesday!
Baby is the size of a(n): Naval Orange
Upcoming appointments: 11/20 for elective gender ultrasound
How are you feeling? Still feeling tired all the time but the nausea has subsided, so that’s a plus.
Raves/Rants: This being overly emotional and quick temper nonsense is annoying lol
Questions: None at this moment.
GTKY (stolen from Group 1/3): How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now? Two or three. We are debating on this being our last. This will be number 2 biologically for me and number 5 for DH. All of the kiddos live with us so we will have 7 running around.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team pink
Baby is the size of a(n): Naval orange or a Hass Avocado
Upcoming appointments: Nov 27th
How are you feeling? Pretty good. I still feel nauseous here and there but mostly back to normal and more energy.
Raves/Rants: still waiting for the seller to turn on utilities so we can do an inspection on the house we want. We’ve already had to extend the inspection period again.
Questions: nope.
GTKY (stolen from Group 1/3): How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now? I’ve always thought it would be awesome to have a big family. This is #3 and there’s a good chance there will be #4. After that we will have to see how we feel.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: should find out this week
Baby is the size of a(n): naval orange right?
Upcoming appointments: day after thanksgiving for glucose tolerance and to meet OB
How are you feeling? Better but still exhausted.
Raves/Rants: rant - no one knows yet and I’m ready to tell and starting to show. Rave - we found a house we might like that’s bigger than ours and has so much storage....... but it’s on the very tippy top of our budget
Questions: none
GTKY (stolen from Group 1/3): How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now? Wanted 3-4. This is #2 bio for me plus SS and there will be no more.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out December 19th!!
Baby is the size of a(n): Peach
Upcoming appointments: November 25, next week! We haven't picked up the HB on the doppler yet so I am hopeful we can get it at this appointment.
How are you feeling? Great overall actually! I noticed my gag reflex is worse while pregnant. I've been having to cough up mucus in the morning from post nasal drip and as soon as I start the gagging just continues.
Raves/Rants: DD woke up at 5:30 today (2 hours early), ugh I am so tired.
Questions: Nope.
GTKY: How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now? For a while I wanted none, mainly because I was scared of child birth. Other than that there is no amount that really sticks out, maybe 2. Now we are stopping at 2. I would entertain a third, but DH has said it is a hard no.

TTC#2 April 2019@rachelg777 I always enjoy hanging out with friends in the moment but then regret it later when I am exhausted!
@peachnectarine I hope the cold goes away soon!
@c0leann Wow that is a lot of kiddos! I'm sure it is so much fun. My mom came from a large family (13) and I love getting together with everyone for our family gatherings.
@Austenista That is frustrating about having to move the inspection.
@JStill0603 That is exciting about the house. Hopefully you can figure out a way to make it work!

How are you feeling? just ok today. I woke up about 3am Sunday morning with an intense pulling sensation in my lower abs and felt achy all day yesterday. Still feeling achy today. Assuming it's just round ligament pain but sent a message in to to my OB just in case, since it was painful enough I couldn't really fall back asleep
Raves/Rants: the weather is so dreary and now it looks like rain in CA next week when we go down for Thanksgiving too
Questions: Is the achiness pretty normal? When did it kick in for you?
GTKY (stolen from Group 1/3): How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now? I wanted 3-4. MH wanted 0 or 1, so we comprised on 2. I'm from a big family and am very close with my siblings, but MH only has one brother he doesn't have a good relationship with, so that's why he thought just 1 but he knew when we started dating that would be a hard sell for me

@rachelg777 entertaining is so exhausting right now. MH tried to get me to go out last week and I told him no way I could make it past 9pm.
@peachnectarine hope you are starting to feel better!
@c0leann I am also tired of being overly emotional. Did not expect to cry this much this early in pregnancy.
@Austenista fingers crossed for a fast and successful inspection!!
@JStill0603 hopefully you get a chance to start telling people soon if you are ready to share!
@m6agua +1 for the sensitive gag reflex. I keep gagging in the middle of brushing my teeth, it's awful.

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We will find out, but my whole family (DH, parents, brothers) all think girl.
Baby is the size of a(n): Orange
Upcoming appointments: Nov.28 just for check up and NT results. The ultrasound tech told us everything looked good, but we haven’t heard anything about the bloodwork. So I’m assuming that means everything is ok....😕
How are you feeling? Meh. Tired. I’m so congested, and I wake up at 3am every day. Nausea is a lot less, but been getting indigestion, and I’ve had a couple headaches. Like the worst headache I’ve ever had my life.
Raves/Rants: This is our first, and I’m scared we are going to run out of time to get everything organized and ready. I am a planner, my hubby is a go with flow type. We’ve been given some free things from friends, but haven’t talked much about setting up a registry, or doing birth classes/breastfeeding classes etc.
Questions: None
GTKY (stolen from Group 1/3): How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now?
Much younger I wanted a few. Into my mid twenties we hit or miss. We thought we weren’t going to have any. Went off BC a few years ago and said if it happens ok, but we weren’t planning. I’m fairly confident we will be one and done.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: pink!
Baby is the size of a(n): cinnamon roll
Upcoming appointments: anatomy scan 12/16
How are you feeling? huge and also lovely DD gave me a cold with a nasty cough and sore throat so that stinks
Raves/Rants: I'm over being sick and especially not loving the round ligament pain from all the coughing
Questions: nah
GTKY (stolen from Group 1/3): How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now? I think I always wanted 2-3 though ideally I always said I would have 2 boys and 2 girls so everyone could have a brother and a sister lol. In the beginning DH was also 2-3 but after DD1 he was actually feeling pretty one and done. I knew I would never be happy without at least trying for a second so finally I convinced him, but he says definitely no more after this one.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out, hopefully right before Christmas
Baby is the size of a(n): navel orange
Upcoming appointments: next OB appointment on December 2
How are you feeling? Much better the last few days. Today was the first day I didn’t almost puke while brushing my teeth or on the drive in to work.
Raves/Rants: The impeachment hearings are so spicy and I love it.
Questions: none
GTKY (stolen from Group 1/3): How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now? I’ve always wanted 2-3. We’ll see how this one goes before we decide about a third. My guess is we will stick with 2, mostly due to money.

Baby is the size of a(n): house mouse
Upcoming appointments: Nov 27 midwife appt and first progesterone shot to avoid another pre-term birth.
How are you feeling? My nausea has returned this week, not as bad, but still annoying. Also increased discomfort/round ligament pain in my belly the past few days. Sound like you and I are going through the same thing, @heyybritt - what did your dr say?
Raves/Rants: I bought a snow bib off a gal on fb marketplace and specifically asked if it was smoke free. She said it was and we did the exchange in a parking lot. When I got it back to my car, it became immediately apparent that it reeks of cigarettes. It was too late to get my money back so I took it straight home and into the washer. I haven’t checked it yet, but don’t have high hopes. It was only $5 wasted, but I just don’t understand how she can think it’s okay to flat out lie to me!
Questions: Does anyone else have experience with the progesterone shots? I’m willing to do whatever it takes to give this baby the best start in the world, but not looking forward to a sore a$$ every week.
GTKY (stolen from Group 1/3): How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now? I used to want three, then wasn’t sure I wanted any, and now we’re on #2 after which H will be snipped.
