Week of pregnancy: 16w5d
Upcoming Appointments: Next week phone appt, midwife appt the following week and A/S the following.
Rant/Rave: I was looking back at my journal from my last pregnancy and at 19 weeks I wrote that I definitely had a clear belly and was showing clearly. I'm here looking at my very obvious 16 week belly and laughing.

Nope! I'm not really into celebrity culture, but I guess it would be cool to meet one of my cooking heros (Samin Nosrat, Kenji Lopez-Alt, Stella Parks, Michael Pollan, Deb Perleman, etc), although I think I'd be too nervous to even talk to them...

Upcoming Appointments: We did an elective US on Friday, which was awesome. My husband was able to come and he said after how happy he was because it made everything seem real for him finally since he has been excluded. 6/8 is my A/S and 6/9 for 20 week appt with OB
Rant/Rave: Rave is definitely the elective US we did. We got a sneak peek of her in 3D and we are already convinced she is my daughter's twin lol. My rant is my indigestion seems to have shown up just as I got rid of the constipation. Like right now I need to go to the grocery store while DD is napping, but here I am on the couch lol.
GTKY: Have you ever met a celebrity? If so, who and how? If not, who would you most like to meet and why? I went out to LA a few years back as a friend was living there, we ended up being somewhat surrounded by celebrities because she lived in West Hollywood aka the nice part because downtown Hollywood where they have events is a sh**hole lol. So we met Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Bethenny Frankel and Jessica Alba. And while I was living in DC I met and hung out with a lot of NBA/NFL/NHL players. Everyone I have met has been super nice in person. As for who I would most like to meet, probably Bradley Cooper because I was raised just outside of Philly and I love him lol, and definitely the EDM groups that I listen to, Chainsmokers, Tritonal, NOTD, etc.
Week of pregnancy: 16+4
Upcoming Appointments: Friday (finally!) 5/29 for regular OB and 6/9 for AS
Rant/Rave: Rant: My best friend is going through a really hard time with fertility and I feel so terrible for her. I just want to support her and can't imagine how frustrated she must feel right now. She is doing a medicated cycle and her follicles have had no growth. Rave: We finally made the call and went out to see my parents, whom I have not seen since February because of Covid. They live about 40-minutes away and I do usually see them at least 1x/month so 3 months was a really long time. We sat in their backyard the whole time (socially distanced) and it was also nice to have a change of scenery since we haven't been any place aside from doctor's visits.
GTKY: Have you ever met a celebrity? If so, who and how? If not, who would you most like to meet and why? I used to have coffee and chat w/Claire Danes mostly every morning when I worked in Soho. Also, met Jake Gyllenhaal and his awesome German Shepard puppy (he was at the time). Once got stuck in an elevator with Madonna and Tyra Banks. A lot more, since I used to work in the SONY entertainment building. I'd like to meet Dolly Parton because she's an icon and I love her.
@hedgepig Culinary heroes are my favorite type of celebrities! Deb lives in my area and we see her out and about in the neighborhood. Not sure if you know Mike Solomonov, but I've cooked with him at Zahav for funsies.
@jaclyn0405 So cool you were able to get a 3D us! Glad you were able to get a good look at baby!
Week of pregnancy: 16w6d
Upcoming Appointments: 2nd trimester Ultrasound on June 15 and Tele appointment with my GP on June 22nd
Rant/Rave: I was really happy to hear baby's heart today at my GP appointment! It made my day. No rant !
GTKY: Have you ever met a celebrity? If so, who and how? If not, who would you most like to meet and why? When I was in high school, I was a fan of a local band here that was pretty international, Simple Plan. My friends and I were real groupie, and I was winning all the contests, we even got to go play bowling with them.
@laurenmicheley I'm so jealous of your casual encounter with Jake Gyllenhaal and his dog!!
Week of pregnancy: 17+3
Upcoming Appointments: AS with MFM 6/5
Rant/Rave: I've been working Fridays during covid because a co-worker quit, and this should be my last Friday for a while!
GTKY: Have you ever met a celebrity? My mom won us meet & greet tickets to Josh Turner years ago through work. And I had an interaction with Garth Brooks during one of his concerts (we were upgraded to 4th row floor seats, had a sign for a song request and a bouquet of flowers. He saw our sign, played the song and when I passed up the flowers he sent one back to me)
Week of pregnancy: 17w
Upcoming Appointments: ~Four weeks from now ish for the 20 week ultrasound
Rant/Rave: I can’t decide what I think of the teleconference appointments. I can’t decide if I’m relieved not to go to a hospital/doctors office or sad that this just feels like mundane clockwork meetings for the doctors and midwives. My call this last week was — you’re fine? Ok. You weigh how much? Ok. Any questions? Oh...Here’s a prescription for compression stockings. Your next appointment is in July. Ultrasound should call to schedule your 20 week apt. I mean all I need really is my (non-medical) husband to coach the doctors and nurses during childbirth (yes I want him to count type stuff). At this point he’s my right hand...but I kind of wanted more of a centering maternity period? It’s all going so fast and so antiseptic?
GTKY: Have you ever met a celebrity? If so, who and how? If not, who would you most like to meet and why?
I’ve met some 80-90s celebrities but I pretty much lived under a rock then (no TV or radio etc...conservative folks)...so when I met them I had no idea. Something like the guitarist from ELO? Or someone else but I had no clue and felt bad. Haha.
Week of pregnancy: 16+3
Upcoming Appointments: Tomorrow!
Rant/Rave: Had a really awesome 3 day weekend, lots of relaxing and had a late night froyo date with my husband that was fun
GTKY: Have you ever met a celebrity? If so, who and how? If not, who would you most like to meet and why? No, I don't think I ever have! I do have an uncle though who is a pretty famous stunt man and has been in tons of big movies and TV shows, so that is pretty cool.
My roommate a few years back would do these PhotoShop collages of me with celebrities. Here's my imaginary night out with Ryan Gosling and Jake Gyllenhaal.
😅
@jaclyn0405 Here's one with Bradley Cooper 😅
My GP said she's happy with the weight I've put on. Blood pressure was really good at which I was really happy about.
We heard baby's heart! It was my first time with a doppler. I was worried we would have a hard time because I was told my placenta was anterior at my 12 week US, but my GP said it probably migrated to the side because we could really hear it well from the middle of my belly.
Week of pregnancy: 16 + 4
Upcoming Appointments: 6/9 for OB
Rant/Rave: too tired to complain right now lol
GTKY: Have you ever met a celebrity? If so, who and how? If not, who would you most like to meet and why? Nope, but I’m also not into pop culture or anything like that at all really. It would be cool to have met frank Sinatra and to have seen him live in person though.
mama. epicurean. plant lover. wine enthusiast.
week of pregnancy: 17 +1
upcoming appointments: regular visit with OB 6/1 & AS 6/9
Rant/Rave: We have our AS 6/9 but my DH hasn’t been able to go to any appointments since we did the IUI in Feb. So although it’s only a few days sooner we have an appt at a 3D/4D US studio that allows me to bring a visitor unlike my OBs office so my DH can actually see the baby and hear the heartbeat. So we get to see baby and find out gender few days before the AS
GTKY: have you ever met a celebrity? If so who and how? I’ve met multiple NFL/NHL players that play on Buffalo sports teams. Whether meeting them at signings or seeing them at Target or the mall or tailgating with them before football games

Rant/Rave: I hate seeing the directions "have a full bladder for this appointment" on the online portal, lol. I'm randomly getting nervous again and have decided not to announce on social media until after tomorrow's appointment. Meanwhile, even my stretch pants are feeling tight this week!

I've met Adam Pascal and the band Switchfoot at signings, if those count. I rung up Rob Gronkowski's groceries in 2010, but I'm not a football fan so I didn't know until the next customer told me. It's interesting to see how many people have met or known different celebrities.
@mimser I enjoyed the photoshopped pictures! Sounds like a fun roommate.
And that roommate and I actually had a bad roommate/friend breakup that same year that she made those pictures! Oh well!
