Baby is the size of a(n): Lime
Upcoming appointments: Thursday, NT scan and NIPT draw
How are you feeling? Mostly good. Still have a funky appetite and weird aversions that come and go rapidly.
Raves/Rants: I am so looking forward to Thursday’s appointment. This month has dragged on forever because I’ve been so excited/anxious for it. Going to try to keep myself busy this week to pass the time.
Questions: None.
GTKY What is a tradition or special place you are excited to do with baby? Disney. It’s been so fun seeing what each of my kids love when we go. Also, I’m praying for a little thrill seeker because neither one of my two have any interest in the fast rides currently.

Baby is the size of a(n): Strawberry
Upcoming appointments: Nada.
How are you feeling?: All day nausea is the pits, but I am STARVING all the time. I've been able to stomach some meat a little bit the past two days so that has been hype for me. I'm starting to feel less tired, maybe... I can't tell.
Raves/Rants: I ate a steak taco. It was a fantastic steak taco. Honestly I was just so relieved to eat meat. Also, I just want to sleep without my hips hurting again. I folded up a pillow in a case between my knees for last night and that seemed to help some but snaps I don't remember it being uncomfortable to sleep this soon last time.
Questions: Nada
GTKY What is a tradition or special place you are excited to do with baby?: I'd honestly never considered this, mostly I'm ready to have my baby, and then have my whole little family together. I'm still in this weird place where I know I will love my children differently but equally, but I can't help but wonder and fear if I'll ever love anyone as much as my first born. She's my mini, she's my adventurer, she's basically my universe and we do all the things together.. I can't imagine anyone more perfect. Also she's already yearning to be the perfect big sister, bringing out her older toys and talking about which ones a baby brother or sister might like.. she's making her own shopping list of things baby will need, it's heart-breakingly adorable.

Upcoming appointments: Not until February 12
How are you feeling? Same old, same old. Vomiting in the morning and nausea that comes and goes. Very tired. Restless sleep.
Raves/Rants:
Raves- having the ultrasound last Friday was so nice. My son turns 1 in a little less than 2 weeks and we are telling family then. I'm so excited to for that!
Rant- I am coming down with a cold. Stuffy nose... Wahhhh
Questions: none
GTKY What is a tradition or special place you are excited to do with baby? This is a good question! My son is still so young that I feel like we have not had a chance to make family traditions yet. Which is exciting that we still have so much as a family to establish. If I had to pick something I would say the zoo! It is something that my baby and I did weekly in the summer and I look forward to having two little ones wandering the zoo with me every summer.

Baby is the size of a strawberry
Upcoming appointments: 2/6 - NT scan
How are you feeling? Somewhat I back to normal. Still tired but the nausea is gone so that's awesome. I've only ever thrown up one time with each pregnancy. It's never in the first trimester and it's always totally random so we'll see.
Raves/Rants: it's a 4 day work week so hurray! I officially have a job interview on February 20th for my dream job so fingers crossed! I wouldn't be concerned except I'm worried being pregnant will affect their desire to hire me.
Questions: not at the moment.
GTKY What is a tradition or special place you are excited to do with baby?

GTKY What is a tradition or special place you are excited to do with baby? I remember seeing the Nutcracker ballet and lots of symphony concerts, even backstage tours when I was a kid.

Baby is the size of a(n): Lime
Upcoming appointments: Today! Declining genetic testing but excited for the check in.
How are you feeling? Very nauseous! Hits harder at night but glad I’m not vomiting. I’m also tired and somewhat moody. Always hungry.
Raves/Rants: Only my hubby and 2 bffs know that I am pregnant but I’m DYING to tell our families. I’m starting to show and feel like I can’t wait any longer. We are planning to tell everyone in 2 wks.
Questions:None
GTKY What is a tradition or special place you are excited to do with baby? Easter! That’s the only holiday we host because We live on a ranch vs. everyone else who lives in the city. I can’t wait for our family to add one more (3rd child for us) to this fun day.

GTKY What is a tradition or special place you are excited to do with baby? Im excited about doing beach trips. We're go every year to St. George Island with my FIL. Ds1 loves it. We're haven't been able to go since I was pregnant with ds2. I'm ready see them discover sand and water and ocean life.

Questions: N/A
GTKY What is a tradition or special place you are excited to do with baby? Not really a tradition, but I'm excited for all the matching outfits. I've already starting hoarding some matching gender neutral things. This is the main reason I can't wait for the NIPT results (besides making sure it's a healthy baby).

Baby is the size of a(n): grape
Upcoming appointments: I can go in for NIPT blood work Jan. 31, but I'll probably ask them to wait to give us the results in person at my next appointment on 2.13.
How are you feeling? Pretty good. I am thankful to be past the worst of the nausea. Still having food aversions, constipation, and burping all the time. I also have no energy. But I'm less bloated this week than last!
Raves/Rants:
Rave: I've been enjoying telling people we're close to. We're telling my mom tonight (hopefully)! We had planned to tell her last night but she wasn't feeling well, so I hope she'll be up for a visit today.
Rant: Due to a long story of complications getting our washer and dryer delivered, we haven't been able to do laundry since before Christmas
Questions: Inspired by @tyrion_ 's post: do you (or did you with a previous pregnancy) have a gut feeling about your baby's gender? And for STM's, were you right? I don't have a feeling one way or another, though I'm sure I'll still make a guess before finding out just to add to the fun.
GTKY What is a tradition or special place you are excited to do with baby? Aw, that's a cute question. This is a simple one, but I'm excited for reading before bed. I've always loved children's books and their wonderful illustrations, so I can't wait to build our little one's library. I'm also looking forward to trips to the public library when they're old enough. I have fond memories going there with my grandma.

Baby is the size of a(n): Hard boiled egg
Upcoming appointments: Had one today for the NT scan and NIPT draw and it went really well!
How are you feeling? Tired and achey, but the nausea seems to be getting better.
Raves/Rants: Raves: I just had a really great day today. Had the day off so I took a nap, took care of errands, had lunch with friends, and got to see the baby wiggling around.
Questions: @faith_2911 I was sure DS was a girl until the anatomy scan. This time, I have a feeling and it lines up with the US tech’s educated guess based on nub theory. I guess I will find out if she’s right in a couple of weeks when we get the blood test results!
GTKY What is a tradition or special place you are excited to do with baby? @WishesSheCouldCook I’m excited to take my kids camping too! We have had a lot of fun camping with another family we met in DS’s newborn group. They’re having their second child this year too so I’m looking forward to going with a bunch of kids. I love being able to relax and unplug in nature.

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out with NIPT
Baby is the size of a(n): tater tot!
Upcoming appointments: unknown. I’m so frustrated right now. The phones and computers went down at my OB’s practice before my appt. last Thursday, and they’re still not up today. This is right around the time of my loss back in July (MMC) and I’m feeling anxious despite a good ultrasound at seven weeks. They can’t reschedule me yet since the computers are still down so I have no clue when I’ll be seen next. Worst case scenario, I have an NT scan scheduled with a MFM doctor Feb. 6 and my NIPT sometime around then too (I’ll be 12 weeks).
How are you feeling? Anxious, fatigued, nauseous, bad insomnia (tossing and turning all night)
Raves/Rants: rant- see above. This is all so freaking unprofessional. I can’t believe they still haven’t fixed their technical issues. It’s making me seriously consider switching practices, but I at least want to get through my scheduled NT scan first.
Second rant- I’ve been prescribed Diclegis for the insomnia and nausea, but my insurance doesn’t cover it ($800 out of pocket). I guess I’ll go the Unisom and B6 route, though that’s not time release. Boo.
Questions: For those of you getting NIPT testing, how many weeks will you be when you get your blood drawn? Just curious.
GTKY What is a tradition or special place you are excited to do with baby? I can’t think of anything at the moment. Brain freeze. I guess I’m just most excited to see the baby interact with DD and for the first time they meet.

Upcoming appointments: I had one today. The next one is 2/17.
How are you feeling? I haven’t had nausea, which I’m thankful for, but I have had some headaches this week. When I’m not pregnant or breastfeeding Excedrin helps, but Tylenol does not work for me so I guess I just have to deal with it.
Raves/Rants: Finally got to see baby today and it seems so much more real now! We just told our nanny too.
Questions: Anyone know of any good medicine-free headache remedies?
GTKY What is a tradition or special place you are excited to do with baby? I’m just excited for general outings we already like to do with our toddler, like the zoo or the park.

How are you feeling? Moments come and go. Had a really bad episode of heart palpitations today that woke me from a nap and left me feeling super shaky, anxious and reminded me of when I’d go off my heart meds with my first pregnancy. I feel like I’ll inevitably be back at a cardiologist; it’s just a matter of when. @kgrgreen how’s your heart doing?
Raves/Rants: a lot of indigestion and nausea has chilled out. My sensitivity to blood sugar and being hungry seems to have amped up so I really need to be on top of that.

@annabanana051416 do you still drink caffeine or did you change your caffeine intake since becoming pregnant? That tends to be a big factor for headaches. But you can take a caffeine pill (I take 1/4 pill but you can take 1/2 if it’s really bad) with your Tylenol and it should help. Also try managing diet and hydration (hard enough when you feel like crap, I know). And acupuncture is great for headaches if you can fit it into your schedule.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: team finding out. Hopefully later this week.

How are you feeling? Pretty good
Raves/Rants: I’m excited to see the baby this week. I’m also hoping that my doctor will tell me the results on the tests during the appointment. The wait is just killing me. Oh and I’ve thought about buying a round pool floaty and blowing it up so I can sleep on my
belly. I haven’t don’t it in so long because the bloat was so uncomfortable at first. I miss it already.

GTKY What is a tradition or special place you are excited to do with baby? When we had our daughter, we said that we would take off work/school for their birthday and spend the day doing whatever they want with them. We plan to continue this in the future with this child as well.

How are you feeling? Good. I have a cold but not associated with PG. I feel like my belly is starting to be noticeable beyond being "holiday weight".

GTKY What is a tradition or special place you are excited to do with baby? Regardless of anything else we do in the year, we always go to Columbus. We love their zoo and it's not too far for a long weekend getaway. This year, DD is old enough to try their science center (COSI) and I think she'll be really into it. Christmas is also really big for us but LO will be too little this year.
@kgrgreen So jealous of your massage. I don't even remember the last time I escaped the house just by myself. I love being able to be home with my kiddos, but when it's all kids, all the time, I start to go a little stir crazy. A massage sounds heavenly! Also, grew up with the Columbus Zoo myself! It's always been a family favorite.

Questions:
Anyone else take unisom/B6 or Diclegis and suddenly have no symptoms? It's early enough that I worry now that I'm feeling so much better that something might be wrong. But I still gag and can smell everything. I think I went through this with #4 too which is when I discovered unisom/B6 but I can't remember perfectly.

How are you feeling? Pretty good. I was able to get two walks in on the treadmill incline and feel like that may have helped even out the hormones a bit? I don't feel as nauseous except at night and I'm definitely less bloated. Still super tired though... had interrupted sleep this weekend and hoping that goes away because I really need the sleep!!

@gomillis I had never heard of the nub theory until you mentioned it. I looked at our ultrasound from 11+4, and I’m thinking girl, which is what I thought after seeing baby’s profile because it looks more like my daughter’s than my son’s. So interesting!

@kgrgreen I also got a massage yesterday! It was my first pre-natal massage and very relaxing (also my first time using a pregnancy pillow and I was v. into it). Definitely felt like a treat, but hoping to find a way to keep it up throughout the pregnancy.

Baby is the size of a(n): Lime
Upcoming appointments: Next Tuesday. I think I'm just hearing the heartbeat and won't get an ultrasound, but that would be nice. Once that visit happens I think I'll feel ready to share more broadly.
How are you feeling? Overall pretty good. Nausea has been a bit worst these past few days after letting up for a few weeks. I'm soo curious if the hardening I'm feeling in my belly is the start of the bump or just bloat. As I get closer to the end of the first trimester I'm feeling excited and anxious in equal measure.
Raves/Rants: Rants: Did it to myself, but volunteered to take on a pop-up work trip this past weekend. It was a good professional opportunity, but kind of stressful. I think I was feeling a little nervous about the ways my life is about to change and wanted to be able to be the one to drop everything and go while I still can. But it wore me out and left me behind on some other projects. I think it was a good lesson that I actually need to start ramping down now, even before baby is here.
Rave: Pregnancy pillow comes tomorrow... very excited! And finally feeling hopeful about daycare... I have two good options that I feel comfortable with.
Questions: none at the moment!
GTKY What is a tradition or special place you are excited to do with baby? My extended family lives all over the country, and every summer we have a family reunion in Florida. I'm going to end up missing this year, but I get so excited thinking about taking baby in future years. The new generation has two other kids so far, and I have a feeling there will be more on the way soon, and I can't wait to watch them all grow up together.

How are you feeling? Very gassy, but constipation is starting to leave. Nausea has also started to subside, maybe it's due to my new probiotics...?
Raves/Rants:
Rave: Just excited to finally make it to our appointment and happy as each healthy day passes. We had a miscarriage back in October due to a virus and rash that I caught, pityriasis rosea, which of course was absolutely heartbreaking... so I'm just grateful that this next oppty came so quickly for us and that we have another bundle on the way.
Rants: My sister in law and hubby's best friend's wife are both due around the time we were expecting before we lost it. I still get bothered how I'm expected to fly 1.5hrs 3 separate times for their baby showers and I've had to keep this new exciting news such a secret. Also still not sure how much I like the act of breast feeding; still creeps me out a bit.
Questions:
GTKY What is a tradition or special place you are excited to do with baby? Just to cuddle and snuggle together. Also already looking forward to next year's holidays with our new addition and the family.

@RedBaramid Could your DD be any sweeter??
@riatortillaxo Family zoo dates will be awesome. I really haven't taken DS because it's so so busy weekends, but maybe late in this next mat leave will be an opportunity.
@jwhite3116 Congrats on the interview! Remember, you don't have to tell them you're pregnant, and they're not allowed to ask. It's always a balance as you think about what you might want to disclose to preserve your go-forward relationship with coworkers and since leave may not be protected, but it's your choice.
@BusinessWife Any specific plans for the IL announcement? (Apologies if you've already shared elsewhere in the forum, I've been lightly MIA the last week or so.)
@five-of-us Ahhh! Do you do a big easter egg hunt outside?? That sounds dreamy.

How are you feeling? Better. Still tired, but the light nausea seems to be clearing and that's helped a ton. Exercise also seems to help both that off feeling and energy levels, so trying to push through and hopefully start a positive feedback loop.
Raves/Rants: Rant with myself - I have still not started taking weekly bump photos, and (after taking zero photos my first pregnancy) I promised myself I'd be good about this and make a cute sign and everything! Tomorrow's 9 weeks, so time to get on it.

GTKY What is a tradition or special place you are excited to do with baby? I'd like to start doing annual (or maybe even semi-annual) family photos with a real photographer. So many in our area set up little 20 minute "mini sessions" every spring and fall, I think it would be a really nice habit to get into.
