How are you feeling? Eh extra acid reflux and headaches
Raves/Rants: Not too much ... got annoyed by well meaning people giving advice when they all found out in the last month but that's died down now. My biggest fight has been finding clothes that make me feel cute and pregnant versus just fat.
Questions: I feel like I'm the only one not feeling babe yet. Am I alone?

Questions:
GTKY- What is your all time favorite dessert: this is soooooo hard I love so many....probably red velvet cheesecake from the cheesecake factory. we dont have one for over 200 hundreds miles surrounding us so it is a real treat to get it.

Baby is the size of a(n): artichoke
Upcoming appointments: Jan 20 & 22 for doc/scan, and midwife
How are you feeling? Heartburn, and broken pelvis pain. Otherwise decent
Raves/Rants: Raves-got 2 pair of good leggings, two shirts and a dress that I love for Christmas. All feel like pajamas, but look super cute, and the tops and dress will fit long into nursing. Rant-so tired of having a cold, and of it being so hard to get kids back into routine.
Questions: Eh. Not real ones. Lu's Rhetorical. Like-why do women have to grow the babies? Why must there be so much extra cervical fluid during pregnancy when I already feel gross? I could go on all day.
GTKY- What is your all time favorite dessert? Creme Brulee, or maybe rice pudding. I like custardy things, flan is pretty exciting to me too. And mochi ball ice cream.

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Pink (Bailey Grace)
Baby is the size of a(n): Soda can (or, as us Texans say, coke can!)
Upcoming appointments: January 20 for anatomy scan. I’m so excited that my mom is off that day and gets to go along with me to see baby girl. She still cries when she tells people I’m pregnant with a girl. Of course she loves her two grandsons beyond measure, but she is really excited about a granddaughter.
How are you feeling? I feel great! In fact there are stretches throughout the day where I forget I’m pregnant, though those are less frequent now that I can’t button my work pants.
Raves/Rants: I broke out maternity pants for the first time this past weekend, and I forgot how comfortable they are! I’m a little concerned about work attire now that I have a job that requires slacks (I don’t do dresses) but very excited about the switch to comfortable maternity clothes on the weekends! And I think I’ve started feeling movement, though it’s not enough to be absolutely certain it’s Bailey and not gas.
Questions: I don’t have any at the moment.
GTKY- What is your all time favorite dessert? There is no way to pick a favorite. I love all things chocolate, ice cream, s’mores, cinnamon rolls, fresh cookies, banana pudding. Ahhh I feel like my blood sugar is rising just thinking about all of this deliciousness!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Blue
Baby is the size of a(n): avocado
Upcoming appointments: This Thursday for a regular checkup and likely the anatomy scan this month at some point.
How are you feeling? Pretty good! Morning sickness, headache and fatigue are almost completely gone, so I'm able to eat healthier and this morning went to the gym!
Raves/Rants: We told the kids about the baby a couple weeks ago. Every night when they say good night they also say good night to their brother. My daughter (8) will frequently come up and have murmured conversations with my stomach. It's incredibly sweet how excited they are.
Questions:
GTKY- What is your all time favorite dessert? Unfortunately sweets are my downfall. I love ice cream, brownies, key lime pie...everything!
Team: finding out (tomorrow)!
Baby is the size of: pomegranate
Upcoming appointments: doing an ultrasound tomorrow at an independent place to find out the sex, anatomy scan is on 1/27
How are you feeling?: started taking Prevacid and I feel like a new woman. This stuff is a lifesaver. My acid reflux was getting so bad that my stomach ached all the time, like severe pain.
Rants/raves: we finally agreed on baby names. Hallelujah.
GTKY: favorite dessert is probably peach cobbler
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Blue! Sloane Michael
Baby is the size of a(n):artichoke
Upcoming appointments: 1/16 for anatomy scan and then a phone appointment 1/22 to review scan. Then nothing until 2/7
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Minus the heartburn. Midwife told me when I'm ready for a preventative heartburn treatment to let her know. If I drink water in the middle of the night or on the way to work with little in my stomach I'm getting severe heartburn from that so I think it may be time. Also my hips are killing me this week. I was so bummed because I went to my chiropractor yesterday (she only does drop ins which is awesome) but she was out 😔 The male chiropractor that was there acted like I was going to break and hardly adjusted me at all. I was so bummed.
Raves/Rants: Dh is out of town all week so it's just me and L which has been fun. I'm not a big TV person and Dh has it on all the freaking time. So it's been nice to just have some play time while I get dinner together and after instead of having the TV on.
Another one is I scored a used City Select Double stroller in basically new condition with 2 seats for $150! They run $600! Just need to buy the carseat attachment for our seat.
And pedi told me last week that if I was ready to flip L (3) forward facing. Our sitter did it today and he thought it was cool. Have to do my car one night this week or this weekend just want to make sure I install it correctly!
Questions: Has anyone tried the 8 Sheep Organics Magnesium lotion? My legs always hurt despite plenty of water. So I just ordered some to see if it helps my legs at night so I sleep better. Tired of flipping constantly because my legs get uncomfortable.
GTKY- What is your all time favorite dessert? Truthfully anything chocolate. I love a good cheesecake though!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out in 9 days
Baby is the size of a(n): Pomegranate
Upcoming appointments: none this week, my Anatomy Scan had to be rescheduled
How are you feeling? Having some RL discomfort and have like zero patience today. But other than that I feel fine
Raves/Rants:
Rant: I dont think people realize how inconsiderate they truly are. It is mind blowing that a patient brought their child in on monday after being diagnosed with the flu. Today my coworker is complaining... basically about having to work. I dont understand it.
Rave: Started looking at neutral baby stuff and saw so many good deals that will end in March. Perfect timing !
Since I can be put on bed rest any time after 26 weeks I want to be able to get as much done while I can.
Questions:
GTKY- What is your all time favorite dessert? Vanilla Icecream cone covered in sprinkles...yummm
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Pink!!
Baby is the size of a(n): no idea. Soda can?
Upcoming appointments: tomorrow for 18 week check up
How are you feeling? Still on anti nausea meds. Anytime I go off then I can’t eat right. Lots of RLP.
Raves/Rants: I’m just tired. First week back to school has me dragging. Trying to decide on next years position because contracts are coming is stressing me out. But we’re doing some house projects so I’ve been so busy at home it’s hard to focus here.

How are you feeling? Okay- I had a really awful yeast infection but it’s cleared up.
Raves/Rants: I really wish I was feeling movements I was sure was the baby. When I’m in a weird position I’ve felt something that feels like a BIG kick but don’t know if it’s a sharp RLP. And then flutters I’m like- gas or baby? Still.
Questions: none now
GTKY- What is your all time favorite dessert? Tough one!!! I’ll say a fruit flavoured gelato- coconut or banana!
