Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a lemon

GTKY: What is the number one destination on your travel bucket list (for non-pandemic times)?
Well my honeymoon to Monaco/France got cancelled due to covid last spring so that was a bummer. But honestly I think I’d say my number one destination would be England. My mom and I have always been into the royal family, both historical and modern and I really want to take a trip with her someday to see all the places we’ve always read about.
Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: July 18 - 14 weeks today. Yay second tri!!

GTKY: What is the number one destination on your travel bucket list (for non-pandemic times)? Japan. My H is allergic to fish, seafood, soy and sesame seeds (amongst other foods) so it’s not high on his destination list. I hope one day I’ll find the perfect reason and travel partner to go! My grandmother was born there so although she wasn’t Japanese, it had a lot of influence on her and she was a marvellous woman.
@pharmd93 I'm sorry your honeymoon couldn't happen. Covid runs everything.

How are you feeling?: Feeling good for the most part. Still exhausted at times and my stomach never fully settled....not nauseous just not settled.
Rants/Raves: Another week of online learning 😫. I live in a large rural region with less then 10 active cases, hopefully kids go back next week. They miss friends and seeing anything other then the house and its 4 walls.

I'm not a huge traveler but honestly I would love a hot sunny beach right now. Toes in sand, kids running happily and splashing. Anywhere but my snowy, cold home. Haha.

Upcoming appointments: regular check-up on feb 1
How are you feeling?: Pretty good, went on a HUGE walk yesterday and now my lower back is quite achy - I didn't have a sore lower back until 35ish weeks last pregnancy so I'm a little annoyed that it's starting already!
Rants/Raves: Just you know...Monday...

GTKY: What is the number one destination on your travel bucket list (for non-pandemic times)? I really want to do a sailing vacation around the Croatian islands...

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a potsticker
Upcoming appointments: telehealth appt this Wednesday
How are you feeling?: overall, ok. My nausea is doing better. My biggest complaint is the post nasal drip. I’ve tried everything (neti pot, saline rinse, humidifier, even Zyrtec) and nothing helps it. It triggers my gag reflex so bad and makes me nauseous at times.
Rants/Raves: I went to our local thrift store today and bought a bunch of neutral short sleeve newborn onesies. I realized both of my other kids were born in cooler months (February and end of September), so I don’t think I have too many short sleeved newborn pieces. Got everything today for like $20!

GTKY: What is the number one destination on your travel bucket list (for non-pandemic times)? The Caribbean. I’ve been several times with DH, but I have been dying to go again. I’d love to go to either Grand Cayman or Barbados again.

How are you feeling?: so crampy and headaches nonstop

Questions: moms of more than 1, what are you putting on your registry?

How are you feeling?: meh.. headaches here and there and just feel kinda crappy. Like I can't put my finger on it. I'm not sick, I just don't feel my best. Maybe I need to eat better and sleep more.
Rants/Raves: rant... my PGAL brain is constantly in overdrive. I am dying to feel movement from this baby so I can reassure myself that everything is ok.
Questions: on that note - anyone feeling movement yet? I know I am the farthest along of all of us but just wondering!

I'm not doing a registry but do need the following things:
- Nose Frida (I think it'd be gross to use the same one for both kiddos ,especially with daycare germs)
- second sound machine
- second monitor or perhaps ditch our current monitor and buy one with two cameras (definitely should have considered that when we purchased our first one)
- second humidifier
- glider board for our stroller
- new towels and washcloths
- fun stuff for DS's new big boy bedroom!! LOL this isn't for baby but since I'm sitting thinking of this list I might as well be honest about what I need
- Unsure whether I should by some pacifiers, DS never used them and so I'm thinking I should just save myself the hassle and never introduce one for this baby - but it might be nice to have one on hand just in case baby is difficult to soothe
- delivery subscription to winery of choice for first year post-partum... LOL again, just being honest here.
I'm sure other stuff will come up, but those are the things for sure I know about right now.

How are you feeling?: Anxious for Thursday
Rants/Raves: A bit of both: DH's birthday was last Thursday so we both took Friday off of work to celebrate and relax. Then our son woke up with a fever Friday morning, so we ended up not doing anything all weekend. He's feeling better now at least!
Questions: No
GTKY: What is the number one destination on your travel bucket list (for non-pandemic times)? I've already been to Italy, but I'm dying to go back.

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: BLUE!!!! So excited!
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: peach
Upcoming appointments: 2/7
How are you feeling?: I need to eat a chip/cracker often - otherwise my stomach is unhappy - and I need extra rest - some mild headaches... just not feeling awesome but no complaints
Rants/Raves: SO EXCITED ABOUT CLOTH DIAPERS!!! I just love that cloth diaper tush & it's so exciting having the diapers arrive in the mail -- it just makes me so so so happy!
We also just installed a swim spa in our garage - - it is FABULOUS to swim "laps" while my boys are playing at the other end of the pool. It is a dream & I pray it will help me tone up and get in shape!!!!
GTKY: What is the number one destination on your travel bucket list (for non-pandemic times)? I want to visit Disney World ALL.THE.TIME. I seriously want to go every 3 months - - that's my life goals. Obviously not going anytime soon and I haven't gone for awhile unfortunately...but that's my JAM!

Upcoming appointments: Anatomy scan on Feb 12th
How are you feeling?: I’ve been feeling so out of it. Not terrible but tired all the time and still mostly uninterested in eating food. I think the lack of exercise, good nutrition, and sleep (been having terrible insomnia) is just making all these effects worse. Need to initiate a change in my routine.
Rants/Raves: I suppose the above answer is my rant.
Questions: Anyone else getting a 2nd tri screening done? I didn’t have one last time so I’m caught off guard. I’m assuming it’s because I’m AMA but I was last time too. My NIPT results came back normal so doc said they are just testing for spina bifida. I didn’t have an NT scan so maybe this is in place of that?
GTKY: What is the number one destination on your travel bucket list (for non-pandemic times)? Oh man, too many places. I really wanted to go to Zanzibar and Madagascar for our honeymoon, but my husband convinced me on someplace else lol. Morocco sounds amazing, and well as Egypt (riverboat down the Nile? yes pls 🥰). Myanmar, any place in South America (would love to see the Amazon), New Zealand, just to name a few. I wouldn’t feel comfortable traveling with small kids to all these places though so will likely have to wait until retirement 😅🤞.
@AKuzReve @bntfroggie I had an anterior placenta with my first, so maybe that's what I'm dealing with again. I'll find out on 2/1 at my anatomy scan I guess. I have had occasional feelings of "something" but nothing definite I don't think. Ugh, I hate that I'm feeling like this. I always have doomsday on my mind that something is wrong and I'm just desperate to feel this one.
more regular exercise. This pregnancy has been kicking my butt compared to my first. I’m AMA and was with my first and did first trimester screen (bloodwork and US) with both but haven’t been approached about second tri screen.

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: pear or navel orange
Upcoming appointments: 1/28 with MFM to discus abnormal nuchal translucency results (I’m a bit nervous)
How are you feeling?: hoping I’m turning a corner after 3 days of awful migraine type headache I’m feeling good the last two days thank goodness and without overt nausea too! 🤞
Rants/Raves: I need to find motivation to write my February lectures but seem to do everything else instead
Questions: anyone else have normal bloodwork/NIPT but abnormal nuchal translucency on the ultrasound? Just hoping my little man is healthy!
GTKY: What is the number one destination on your travel bucket list (for non-pandemic times)? Ohh I LOVE to travel!! We want to do a Disney Alaska cruise hopefully in 2022. We actually did a Disney cruise last year right before everything shut down and it was awesome! I’ve also had Italy and Greece on my list for quite sometime but don’t think that would be the best trip for a 2/3 year old and newborn/1 year old. So maybe in a few years as a couples trip or family trip! I’d love to get my little man’s passport more action!

How are you feeling?: pretty awful. Haven't been on the board much because HG is still a struggle. Then this week we had no so great news for NIPT, so trying to stay off dr. google.
Rants/Raves: none really. just anxious to meet with high risk/genetics counselor tomorrow to go over our NIPT results

right now probably Japan and Korea. But, also want to explore more european countries
@marikkita12 Yay due date twins! 🙌. It’s definitely weird and slightly confusing with all the inconsistencies in testing. I just got my second tri screening done this afternoon, one more result to stress about lol. It kinda feels like we’re in an over testing phase in maternity care. I wonder if it’ll increase or settle down some for future generations as these nascent technologies mature.
