How are you feeling?: Good! I've started feeling kicks through my stomach from the outside, but he always seems to stop moving as soon as MH touches my stomach. Otherwise, not really feeling many symptoms, other than getting bigger. The stretch marks have definitely started.
Rants/Raves: Rave: I got my first Covid vaccine last Wednesday, which was very exciting! I was really tired the next day and got a migraine (although I'm prone to migraines, so I can't necessarily put that on the vaccine) but all good now. And my best friend is eligible tomorrow so we may be able to get together in person in a couple of weeks! Rant: they're calling for snow overnight here 🤦♀️

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: As tall as a pencil!
Upcoming appointments: GP next week; still waiting to hear from my OB about a first appointment.
How are you feeling?: Mostly good, but already getting uncomfortable standing up. It's like I suddenly have no abs and I keep forgetting. Still a lot of ligament pain, which I don't remember from my first pregnancy.
Rants/Raves: Nothing to rant about, we're in the middle of birthday/anniversary/mother's day/birthday week so there's a lot of nice stuff going on in our house this week!
Questions: Are any of you S+TMs pregnant again after a c-section and feeling like you have pain that might be associated with your c-section scar? Haven't had a C, but had abdominal surgery halfway through my first pregnancy, and am feeling so much discomfort that I do not remember from my first. A lot of it seems to line up with the ends of my incision scar, wondering if I'm imaging it or if anyone else has felt the same.
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? Brad Renfro! Starred opposite JTT in Tom and Huck and I thought his floppy hair was so cute. I had to goggle to remember his name and found out he died like 12 years ago
@muggsd I'd love to go to Hawaii! It was one of out honeymoon choices but we decided on a different destination.
@penny624 peeing yourself is the worst! I do it a lot when I cough but it was horrible when I'd have morning sickness and pee while I threw up. Ugh!
Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 22+6
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: guinea pig
Upcoming appointments: next appointment isn't until June

Rants/Raves: my 4 year old has been getting up at 5:30 for the past two weeks and I can't handle it. Thankfully my husband has been an angel and lets me sleep while he gets up with him.
Questions:
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? I think JTT...I had those teen beat posters of him. I also loved Scott Wolf from Party of Five and was convinced I'd name my child Bailey.
@nasalot188 I’m glad you didn’t have any bad side effects from your shot!
@sawasap DH keeps telling me the baby doesn’t like him because baby ALWAYS stops kicking right when he tries to feel lol.

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a guinea pig

How are you feeling?: I can’t sleep!!! It’s so frustrating. It’s not like I have to pee all night, and I don’t think it’s baby movement waking me up. Yet I’m up every 2 hours. Ugh.
Rants/Raves: I suppose my can’t sleep rant is my rant of the week lol!
Questions:
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? oh man I truly cannot remember! They definitely changed rapidly lol
