Re: Group 1 (2/1-2/7) check-in w/o 12/30
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Green
Baby is the size of a(n): Pineapple or 2 end to end venti cups from Starbucks
Upcoming appointments: sizing ultrasound on Friday and the beginning of the weekly OB checkups next week Thursday
How are you feeling? Tired, uncomfortable, very round
Raves/Rants: Raves - I am so excited to see our little one again this Friday. Our last u/s was the anatomy scan round 2 16 weeks ago and, although I don't need them for reassurance my baby is alive, I miss seeing it every 6ish weeks like we were at the beginning.
Rants - a couple of days ago I commented to my mom that baby seemed to have given up its favourite movement of stretching in favour of smaller movements. Turns out I spoke too soon and the stretching is now back full force and is painful!

GTKY: Do you make any resolutions for the new year? If so, what are you planning for this year? I don't do resolutions.

Baby is the size of a(n): Pineapple 🍍
Upcoming appointments January 9th for quick ultrasound, then we start weekly appointments 😱
How are you feeling? Very pregnant, lol. I’m generally uncomfortable but not miserable. Im hanging in there and keeping my eye on the finish line!
Raves/Rants: Christmas was incredible this year. Our family went way over the top to get us more things for baby. So much was gifted to us that I was able to turn around and use the gift cards/cash from the showers to buy everything else we needed. Almost $900 worth of stuff and I only paid $150 for it. Now, I wait (im)patiently for the UPS guy to bring the biggest haul of amazon boxes that my porch has ever seen 😂
Questions: Ive been thinking about breastfeeding a lot. I realllllllly want to do it if at all possible. Anything I can be doing now to prep my body and give me a better chance of success?
GTKY: Do you make any resolutions for the new year? If so, what are you planning for this year? I don’t generally do resolutions. Instead, I make goals for myself. This year, my husband and I are making one common goal: to be the best parents we can be and provide a loving home to our son. Enjoying him and his first year of life is all we are worried about this coming year.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team Blue
Baby is the size of a(n): Pineapple
Upcoming appointments: January 14th and then weekly until he comes! Can't believe this time is already here.
How are you feeling? I am overall ok. Just exhausted, large, sore, but trying to enjoy the last month of being pregnant ever. And enjoy every moment I feel of him on the inside.
Raves/Rants: The nursery is finally feeling pretty much complete. I just placed a huge Amazon order of all the little things I will need to get us through the first couple of months.
Questions:
GTKY: Do you make any resolutions for the new year? If so, what are you planning for this year? I don't do resolutions really.
EDD: Feb 5
Team: Blue
Baby is the size of a(n): "moderately successful game of Jenga" (the what to expect app is so weird...)
Upcoming appointments: My appointments have been 2x weekly since the beginning of December due to my GD, but the next big one is my 36 week growth scan next week.
How are you feeling?: I'm going back and forth between excitement over meeting this little guy and the sadness with comes with knowing this is my last pregnancy.
Raves/Rants: Only a few more weeks of work left. I'm trying to work as long as I possible can. Assuming I make it to my induction date (which hasn't been scheduled just yet) I'll probably start maternity leave the day before. It's funny...I know that taking care of this newborn is going to be way harder and more demanding than my office job, but I'm still looking forward to the moment I can leave work stress behind me.
Questions: Not this week.
GTKY: Do you make any resolutions for the new year? If so, what are you planning for this year? I really want to get back in shape this year. I never got 100% back into shape after my first and my sister is getting married in the summer. I know it's silly and superficial, but it's been a really long time since I've been okay with getting my picture taken. I would love to be present and in the moment for her without worrying about what my arms look like, etc. I'm going to be gentle on myself, but I look forward to feeling more confident about my appearance.
