Re: Group 2 (May 9-16) Week of 11/25
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Pink
Baby is the size of a(n): Dill Pickle or an Avocado
Upcoming appointments: Wed 27th
How are you feeling? Pretty okay. I *think* I'm feeling some wiggles and flutters. Not sleeping great, it's hard to turn my mind off at night.
Raves/Rants: Just excited about Thanksgiving, tbh.
Questions: What are y'all buying on Black Friday?
GTKY: What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant? Definitely just desperately want a big, cold sub sandwich.
EDD/weeks+days: My 14th/15+4
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Lavender
Baby is the size of a(n): Naval oranges
Upcoming appointments: Nothing until December.
How are you feeling? Pregnancy symptoms are fine. But I have a cold and it's making me so miserable. I normally won't take any meds while pregnant, but finally broke down and took some tylenol for my sore throat. I'm so over this.
Raves/Rants: Head cold - see above. I feel like crap and I'm really hoping it gets better before Thanksgiving.
Questions: Nope.
GTKY (stolen from Group 3): What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant? Probably wine. There is very little I won't eat while pregnant.... Oh wait, I really wanted the burrata from one of our local restaurants and I couldn't have it because I was pretty sure it wasn't pasteurized. That was so sad.
@ruby696 You deserve a break from your colds! I hope it's better soon.
EDD/weeks+days: 5/14, 15 +4
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Blue
Baby is the size of a(n): Cinnamon Roll
Upcoming appointments: Tomorrow, just a doppler check and how are you
How are you feeling? Fine! I was super crampy last week and thank goodness the last few days have been better. I don't feel any sort of energy boost but also I feel like this may be the best I will feel
Raves/Rants: Well, my IL's (+ grandma IL) arrive tomorrow and I have so much cleaning to do tonight. The man I am nurse manager for was sick this weekend/ still is and so I was here a lot. I hope he pulls through but if it's his time to go it's his time to go (he's 98). But that also means I need to find a new job since I am privately hired.... which won't be stressful at all.
Questions: Nope
GTKY (stolen from Group 3): What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant? Ummmm I don't really follow any of the rules besides alcohol (well and medication). Unless I'm someplace sketchy. But I do really miss wine.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Blue! Twins!
Baby is the size of a(n): two avocados
Upcoming appointments: had one today with the high risk OB, and another one on the 9th. Yay for every other week ultrasounds!
How are you feeling? The kids I nanny gave me the plague, but as far as pregnancy symptoms go, I’ve been pretty lucky!
Raves/Rants: The damn ultrasound tech blurted out “there’s a penis” without even asking if I wanted to know!
Questions:
GTKY (stolen from Group 3): What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant?
I honestly haven’t missed much. I haven’t really wanted to each much of anything, but soup, and I’ve always been a soup whore so it isn’t so bad. I do however wish I could take more meds for this damn cold/flu thing I’ve got going on! The sinus pressure headache is brutal!
I'm pretty anal about not eating packaged salad mix/pre-made salads. Or fruit that has been pre-cut. Which is a bummer because we're supposed to eat lots if fruit and veggies, and that would make it so much easier.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Hopefully know by Christmas. My 20week starts the Saturday before Christmas, so not sure when my anatomy scan will be booked.
Baby is the size of a(n):Avocado
Upcoming appointments:Midwife on the 28th
How are you feeling? Meh. I thought maybe I had a UTI but those symptoms went away overnight. My lower abdo had a dull ache and I had to pee soooo much. Today I basically feel fine. Guts are little off, everything gives me gas, like painful trapped gas.
Raves/Rants: None
Questions: None yet!
GTKY (stolen from Group 3): What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant?
@Austenista I was with you and was pretty strict, and still am mostly. But I asked my midwife and she said roasted meats that you know where they come from are generally pretty safe. The deli around the corned roasts and cures their own meats, so I’ve been getting turkey sandwiches. Soooo good.
I do miss sushi! This pregnancy was a surprise and I am so disappointed I didn’t go out for one last sushi dinner! Everyone keeps telling me to just get California rolls, but I want Salmon! LoL
Oh and beer. Non-alcoholic beer is just not the same.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out. so close yet so far away!
Baby is the size of a(n): ring pop
Upcoming appointments: Dec 10th
How are you feeling? pretty good overall but still feeling "stretchy" every now and then. I told MH I guess life is just aches and pains for the next 6 months.
Raves/Rants: so excited to travel to my mom's for Thanksgiving and getting to finally tell the rest of my family we're expecting, but really not looking forward to dealing with a crowded airport at the crack of dawn tomorrow
Questions:
GTKY (stolen from Group 3): What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant? I miss wine and beer. MH picked up a new beer from the store last weekend and told me "I'm sorry but I'm really looking forward to this" 😂
FTM
BFP: 9/5/19 ~ EDD 5/15/20
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Blue
Baby is the size of a(n): Yellow Canary
Upcoming appointments: Wed appt with midwife including doppler and first progesterone shot.
How are you feeling? Nausea comes and goes, also dealing with the painful trapped gas
Raves/Rants: in-laws arrive tomorrow and I’m just not feeling it. They’re not bad as far as in-laws go, but I just can’t fully relax around them.
Questions: none
GTKY (stolen from Group 3): What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant? I haven’t quit much and what I have are things I didn’t eat much anyway so not really missing anything. Though now I want Buratta, thanks to @ruby696. 😝 I’ll have to see if I can find a pasteurized one.
@Austenista - I haven’t even had a moment to look at Black Friday circulars. I haven’t shopped the big stores in a couple years, but try to plan for the good deals and catch them online. Any recommendation on which store(s) are worth checking out?
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out in less than a month!!
Baby is the size of a(n): light bulb
Upcoming appointments: Just had my 16 week yesterday, next is the anatomy scan on Dec 19!
How are you feeling? Pretty great. I had some RLP and slight nausea on Sunday.
Raves/Rants: Opening hunting weekend went well. Yesterday was a nice day at home just DD and I. We had appointments and I was able to catch up around the house. I am really looking forward to the extended weekend hunting and spending time with family.
Questions: Nope
GTKY (stolen from Group 3): What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant? I guess I don't really have one, but I will say Sushi. I don't eat it that often not pregnant anyway though. I'm the one who still eats runny eggs and lunch meat. I have never really been a drinker so I don't really miss that.

Baby is the size of a(n): travel size deodorant
Upcoming appointments: nothing until 12/16
How are you feeling? like a lot of others feeling ok pregnancy wise but lovely DD brought home some daycare germs a week or so ago. She had croup and I had a nasty cough/could and now a sinus infection but I started antibiotics yesterday and already seeing slight improvement.
Raves/Rants: just excited to have a short week and a long weekend. My parents said they might keep DD a night or two this weekend so we can get some other work done organizing the house and getting things ready for the baby and catching up on sleep.
Questions: none
GTKY (stolen from Group 3): What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant? The biggest struggle for me especially around the holidays is cookie dough. I know it's never "safe" or recommended to eat raw cookie dough, but I always lick the bowl after making cookies and in tough times I've been known to buy a tube at the store just to eat raw (go ahead, judge me lol). It's hard to not even take a little lick off my finger when baking cookies these days but I'm staying strong for now.
@ruby696 I'm sorry you still have the cold. Have you tried a Neti Pot yet? Gargling warm salt water many times a day should help your sore throat too. I've been battling some post nasal drip/congestion for a few weeks now. But it is pretty minor.
@rachelg777 Sorry about your client and the possibility of needing a new job. I hope you can get your cleaning done and have a nice visit!
@bender29 Sorry about your cold, I hope it goes away soon!
@smashley09 I would ask at your appointment in a couple days if you can schedule the AS early. My practice has let me do it at 19 weeks last pregnancy and this one too. Last time it was the Friday before the 4th of July, where we used our fireworks show to tell all of our friends and family. This year we have it scheduled the week before Christmas so we can tell everyone then! FFC, I ate smoked salmon a couple times in the first tri.
@heyybritt I hope your travel day is smooth and you have a nice visit!
@lajoliedreamer I have similar sentiments to you when it comes to things to avoid for pregnancy. I definitely partake in the things that I usually eat not pregnant once in a while. I don't do wine while pregnant, but I also don't really drink it not pregnant. I may have a sip here or there over the holidays, but if I'm really craving it I will have Kombucha... which I don't think is recommended while pregnant either. Definitely a you do you and what you are comfortable type of situation.

GTKY (stolen from Group 3): What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant? I really miss alcohol, especially with the holidays coming up. I may cave and have a sip of wine at Thanksgiving dinner.

Questions: none
GTKY (stolen from Group 3): What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant? I miss blue cheeses and unpasteurized cheeses generally. And just eating stuff without worrying what is in it.
@bananapanda I think they pasteurize the eggs in those cookie dough tubes they sell at the grocery store
