Re: Check in week of 12/1 to 12/7
EDD/weeks+days: 4 weeks, 5 days according to my last period
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We we’re team green last time but are talking about finding out this time!
Baby is the size of a(n): waterbear
Upcoming appointments: 12/16 I have a call with the nurse (a new thing my practice is doing) and 12/31 is my initial midwife appointment
How are you feeling? Awful but mostly because I have a horrible cold, not pregnancy symptoms
Raves/Rants: I really want to take a sick day but have way too much going on at work right now
Questions: none
GTKY: what is the strangest food combination you eat when you aren’t pregnant? You know, the combination that make people ask if you’re expecting.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: TEAM PINK! I have 2 daughters already and I would love a 3rd! However, hubby is team blue!
Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed!
Upcoming appointments: My first appointment is on 12/31, I really wanted an appointment before Christmas but a New Years Eve appointment is just as special!
How are you feeling? Surprisingly, totally fine!
Raves/Rants: Although I'm feeling fine, I feel like I am already showing!!! Its harder to keep a third baby a secret
Questions: ^^^^ anyone else show sooner with 3rd? Or 4th babies??

Nothing yet, I did crave eggs a week ago though
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: definitely team finding out. We have all boys already so I won’t be surprised if it’s a boy but I’m secretly hoping for a girl
Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed
Upcoming appointments: 12/27.
How are you feeling? Randomly nauseous, fatigue but the other day and I have crazy dry mouth.
Raves/Rants: pregnancy dry mouth is the pits. Literally nothing relieves it! I only had it with one other pregnancy and ugh!
Questions: none

Due 1/21/17
Due 1/21/17
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): orange seed.
Upcoming appointments: January 2, damn holidays.
How are you feeling? Feeling good. I have cramps from time to time, but I know it's just my uterus doing its thing!
Raves/Rants: I feel like I have no problem staying up late at night, even though I would love to go to bed at 10 or even 9. My husband also doesn't help with that. A good thing about my appointment being next year is that my insurance is changing in 2020 and I no longer have to pay for anything for this pregnancy! @scgirl6113 now that you mention it, I do have dry mouth. I thought that I was just always thirsty, but my mouth is pretty dry. My first pregnancy was a breeze, no symptoms or issues whatsoever. This one is a little different, so I hope that means we are having a boy this time.
Questions: When do we stop sleeping on our backs again?
GTKY: what is the strangest food combination you eat when you aren’t pregnant? You know, the combination that make people ask if you’re expecting.
I'm a plain Jane girl. If anything I pick the cheese and pepperoni off of my pizza and then put the pepperoni back on. I'm not a fan of the melting cheese. My husband tells me to just order pizza without the cheese, but then the flavor of the pizza would change. And yes I know its odd.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We did not find out with our first two and likely won't with this one either.
Baby is the size of an: I don't know? 1/6 of an inch. I just use my existing period tracking app to know how far along I am. I don't Do a designated app that gives fruit. Mine just gives length.
Upcoming appointments: My first one is middle of next week!
How are you feeling? Sick and tired and also very overwhelmed as this pregnancy was unplanned (we were not going to try again for another six months). No puking yet, but I dry heave a few times a day. I did this with other pregnancies, I'll feel sick and be thisclose to puking and then just dry heave once or twice. And I'm tired all the time. I'll lay on the floor and doze while my girls play around me.
Raves/Rants: I'm having a hard time drinking enough water because we just moved into a new place, and it had bad tasting water. We have a filter, and it helps but there's still a taste. I don't really do flavored waters, so I'm hoping I can find something I like to cover the taste.
Questions:
GTKY: Hmm, usually I hide my strange food combos. No one has ever asked me about it. I like mayo, and I'll mix mayo and BBQ sauce for French fries or chicken tenders. But I don't think that's that weird. That's basically Red Robin campfire sauce! Or I'll mix ranch and BBQ.
I don't know. I put hot sauce on everything and have multiple bottles in my fridge, but I don't think that's overly strange.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): poppyseed
Upcoming appointments: I have a phone call with the nurse on 12/20 and 1st trimester ultrasound on 1/13.
How are you feeling? Completely normal so far. With my son I didn’t notice any symptoms until 8 weeks so it will be interesting to see how this pregnancy compares.
Raves/Rants: My OB won’t schedule the first ultrasound until 10-12 weeks which I find really annoying - it’s so hard to wait that long and I know many people have ultrasounds much sooner than that.

Upcoming appointments:
Dating ultrasound 12/30, first OB Appt is 1/21.
How are you feeling? Hungry all the time... but also like I am going to puke. Also, I have 0 patience. It’s everything I have in me not to lose my cool on everything and everyone. Basically, I’m a real peach to be around.
Raves/Rants:
The clinic I work at decided that today is a great day for a construction project during business hours. I’m gone now, but I have been ready to scream all day because it was so horrible.
Questions:
Not yet.

@wednesdaygirl1019, I don't think it's that unusual. At my first appointment, they always try to hear the heartbeat but note that they sometimes can't find it that early (8-9 weeksish) and not to be concerned if they can't.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We will find out with NIPT.
Baby is the size of an: poppyseed.
Upcoming appointments: dating U/S right before Christmas
How are you feeling? The nausea got real today. Tired all the time. But mostly just so very happy. And a bit anxious until that first u/s.
Raves/Rants: [rant] It took me 6 different phone calls and some secure messages over the course of a week to get my OB appointment scheduled but [rave] I was able to get in on the day I wanted (not with my normal OB, but I'm fine with that).
Questions: Where did I put my favorite credit card? Seriously. The pregnancy brain is already in full force.
GTKY: Cottage cheese and potato chips
EDD: 8/1
weeks+days: 5w, 5d
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Already found out I’m having a girl (per PGS testing).
Baby is the size of: the opening of a straw
Upcoming appointments: Dec 11th (6w 4d)
How are you feeling? Overall I’m feeling great! I’m almost always a little nauseous, but it isn’t bad yet!
Rave: On Black Friday I took advantage of some great deals and went ahead and bought the car seat/stroller system and the baby swing I’ve been wanting!
Rant: I was really hoping that the nursery furniture I like would go on sale for Black Friday, but it didn’t! 🙃
Questions: None yet!
GTKY: what is the strangest food combination you eat when you aren’t pregnant? You know, the combination that make people people ask if you’re expecting. I love to put syrup on my cooked baby carrots! So yummy!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): orange seed
Upcoming appointments: 12/23 dating US
How are you feeling? Tons of energy and completely fine until today I felt a little light headed. Some sharp pains that come and go. Surprised I’m not bloated yet since it’s #3, I remember already unbuttoning my jeans last pregnancy by this point.
Raves/Rants:
Questions:
GTKY: what is the strangest food combination you eat when you aren’t pregnant? You know, the combination that make people ask if you’re expecting. Mozzarella cheese and bread and butter pickles
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team Finding Out - we will be getting the NIPT
Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed or black peppercorn
Upcoming appointments: 12/20 for a dating ultrasound
How are you feeling? tired, on and off nausea - overall pretty good
Raves/Rants:
Questions: Anyone have tips for reasons for not drinking during the holiday party season? One party not drinking doesn't raise eyebrows but with multiple parties per week the excuses get challenging!
GTKY: what is the strangest food combination you eat when you aren’t pregnant? You know, the combination that make people ask if you’re expecting.
No strange food combinations that I can think of
We've also done the glass swap trick before. We each get a glass of the same thing. Every time I go to the bathroom or get food or whatnot, I ask him to hold my glass. When I come back, he gives me the one he already drank most of. Repeat all night.
Worst case, you tell people you are on antibiotics for an infection and gesture toward your vagina. They stop asking questions real fast.
6w+0d
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green:
Finding out for sure, hoping for pink
Baby is the size of a(n):
popping firecracker (ovia is weird)
Upcoming appointments:
December 12th is my first appt, can't wait!
How are you feeling?
So nauseas, I didn't get this bad with my first until 8 weeks
Raves/Rants:
I was just told I'm hosting my DH's family friends the 27th. There will be 8 adults and 4 kids, ugghh. I can't even stand the sight of meat right now, prepping for this is going to suck.
Questions:
None really. I'm trying to scheme a way to have a NIPT covered under my insurance so I can find out the gender early
GTKY: what is the strangest food combination you eat when you aren’t pregnant? You know, the combination that make people ask if you’re expecting.
I don't really eat weird food combos (not weird to me at least). I like russian dressing and cole slaw on my cold cut sandwiches, I love gourmet pizza with dates and goat cheese, is that weird?
Aug. 3 / 5+4
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green:
Likely finding out. I'm horrible with surprises.
Baby is the size of a(n):
The eraser of a No. 2 pencil
Upcoming appointments:
December 26th. Feeling like I should have taken the December 24th option...
How are you feeling?
I'm OK. This pregnancy definitely feels different from my first. I already want salty foods, nothing sweet. My energy is good with not too many symptoms - but that also makes me nervous. So really looking forward to my first ob appt.
Raves/Rants:
We just got new furniture (yay!) but also my livingroom is a mess with all the packaging (boo!) and I just want some normalcy rn. I hate clutter! Also, @roo_baby: Yes! Can I blame everything on pregnancy brain now?
Questions:
N/A
GTKY: what is the strangest food combination you eat when you aren’t pregnant? You know, the combination that make people ask if you’re expecting.
I tend to like spicy food and hot sauce like @wednesdaygirl1019 . I love watching Hot Ones one YouTube
Aug. 4 / 5+4
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green:
Finding out for sure. So excited that I age into the NIPT this time.
Baby is the size of a(n):
sesame seed.
Upcoming appointments:
December 31... this wait is brutal
How are you feeling?
I was hit with nausea and severe bloating earlier this week... to the point I was convinces there were two in there. Over the last two days the symptoms have faded, even the bloating. Glad that I'm feeling better, but also nervous that the drop in symptoms means that something is wrong.
Raves/Rants:
I have a severe ant problem... It's been raining a lot in LA, so the ants have migrated inside and holy cow. Two of my potted plants were colonized. Complete pandemonium every morning when I discover more ant shit!
Questions:
Is anyone feeling symptoms come and go, or perhaps experienced this with past pregnancies?
I only remember the nausea coming at 8 weeks, so weird to have it come at 5 and then fizzle.
GTKY
Matza wit cream cheese a little pico de gallo.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Still on the fence.
Baby is the size of a(n): Sesame Seed
Upcoming appointments: I had my hcg levels checked this past Friday and then again on Monday. They were rising appropriately so they scheduled an ultrasound for December 17th.
How are you feeling? Extremely nauseated along with terrible cotton mouth. I can't stand the taste of coffee or chocolate - two of my most favorite things! Also, extremely tired despite getting 8 hours of sleep a night.
Raves/Rants: I have a love/hate relationship with feeling sick and the food aversions. I wish I felt great and could eat BUT it is also reassuring that everything is hopefully going well!
GTKY: what is the strangest food combination you eat when you aren’t pregnant? You know, the combination that make people ask if you’re expecting. Honestly, I have never had weird cravings.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out (initial intuition is Pink)
Baby is the size of a(n): Poppyseed
Upcoming appointments: 12/31
How are you feeling? Mostly normal. Which isn’t helping my PGAL brain.
Raves/Rants: Everything just seems normal. I don’t think I’ll ever stop peeing on tests. But nothing really to rant or rave about right now.
Questions: none
GTKY: I’m so picky that nothing really stands out as odd. I’m like a toddler.
Due 1/21/17
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Definitely finding out! I want to know as much about the little peanut as possible, because everything else will be a big surprise!
Baby is the size of a(n): An earring backing
Upcoming appointments: first US is Dec 12. Really excited and anxious
How are you feeling? Morning sickness kicked in this week. No throwing up, just all day nausea. Also feeling exhausted pretty much all the time.
Raves/Rants: We are throwing our first child free party since my son was born! I’m excited, but I tend to go a little insane preparing for parties. DH better buckle up 😂
