Questions: Nope:)

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? Not until I know if there's a heartbeat. Then I usually start using some sort of variation of the name I want to use when baby is born

Yes...I already have names picked out....

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact:

FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out ASAP. It'll be a girl though- just sayin'.

Upcoming Appointments: 8/17 is first appointment

How are you feeling?: Like crap. Like my two prior pregnancies- it hit me like a truck last week. I get all day nausea, that is always worse as the day progresses. Morning is generally my best time but by 8am, its all down hill from there.

Rants/Raves: Rave: Vacation starts this Saturday Rant: Vacation is a 5.5 hour drive and I have no clue how I'm gonna make it through that.

Questions: More like a poll! I never tried unisom in my prior pregnancies, How effective have ya'll found it to be?

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? No- though if I'm if I'm using a name in conversation with DH its usually "little one."

rachelredhead · August 2021

EDD / Weeks + Days: March 14/ 8 w

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: raspberry

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out

Upcoming Appointments: ultrasound tomorrow to confirm due date

How are you feeling?: No more spotting since yesterday morning so I’m blaming sex. So thankful to get to see the bean tomorrow again. I’m definitely nauseous so that’s a good sign somebody is doing some growing.

Rants/Raves: I get to sit in a car for 8 hours today with a toddler. Last week he slept 20 minutes total during the drive. But it’s a rave too because I’m excited to get home.

Questions: natm

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? At our ultrasound 2 weeks ago we saw a flicker of a heartbeat and the tech called it a blip. Sorry we’ve been calling the baby Blip.

@panaceia I’m sorry you’re feeling so sick but hopefully that’s a good sign!

@Lcardinal04 I take unisom plus b6 every night and it saves me. If I forget and skip I definitely feel it. I took it until probably mid 2nd tri with my son.

Lcardinal04 · August 2021

@rachelredhead Did you see it lasting all day? There seem to be some protocols where people take a small second dose unisom in the morning.

rachelredhead · August 2021

@Lcardinal04 I can’t handle the second dose of unisom, it just makes me too tired. Doing it at night doesn’t eliminate the nausea the next day but it definitely makes me feel like a functioning human. But I know some folks say you get less tired eventually with that second dose, just takes some acclimation.

morgantu · August 2021

@Panaceia I definitely have names picked out too. not sold on girls yet, but boys, i'm ready!
@Lcardinal04 i took unisom/b6 last pregnancy and will again next week if we have a heartbeat (i need the nausea right now to reassure me). It helped me a lot, and i only ever took the one dose.
@rachelredhead so glad your spotting is gone!

EDD / Weeks + Days: 3/20 7+1

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: a honey bee

FTM/STM/TTM+: stm

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: greeeeeeeen!

Upcoming Appointments: First Us a week from today!

How are you feeling?: Sick, worse as the day progresses, like some other people. I took naps both days this weekend and still was a waste of space. I don't remember it being this bad with my first, but it was also 3 years ago and i didn't have a toddler.

Rants/Raves: ALL i want to eat is cold fruit. Which is great because it's yummy, but also i should eat other things probably.

Questions: nope

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? "if this baby sticks" is all i can call it until we see a heartbeat at least. Then, who knows. don't remember if we nicknamed DD.

Panaceia · August 2021

@morgantu Yes to cold fruit! Nectarines and cherries are all that got me through my first 2 pregnancies.

Sorry to see so many people as sick as I am:/ And yes to it getting worse throughout the day. I find if I eat right before I go to sleep then I'm not as nauseous over night. Also throwing up makes me feel abit better too...at least for a few minutes...

Lcardinal04 · August 2021

@morgantu @rachelredhead thank you both! I'll start taking that tonight and see if it helps. I did start taking Pepcid AC this morning and, unless its complete coincidence, it is really taking off the edge...like a huge edge! Fingers crossed it's not a coincidence.

MusicalFamily · August 2021

EDD / Weeks + Days: March 25/ 6w3d

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: sweet pea

FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out but it’s probably a boy since we already have 2 boys lol

Upcoming Appointments: 1st appt is 8/17

How are you feeling?: tired!

Rants/Raves: told my best friend I was pregnant yesterday and she has no reaction

it was weird and then she asked if I was serious because I joke around a lot. I would never joke around about that especially since it took me so long to get pregnant with my second child.

Questions: when are you planning to tell your job?

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? Not yet.

MusicalFamily · August 2021

@Lcardinal04 due date twin! Also a TTM and first appt is the 17th

I hope you feel better soon! Good luck with the long drive. Hopefully you can nap in the car if you’re not driving lol

Panaceia · August 2021

@MusicalFamily Sorry you're friend had no reaction:/ If it makes you feel better I tried to tell my mom on the phone a couple of days ago and she did not pick up on ANY of the things I was saying. She didn't even ask why I was so sick when I mentioned a few times how much I was throwing up...she just ignored it completely....so I ended up not telling her.

MusicalFamily · August 2021

@Panaceia aww! I’m sure she will be happy once she finds out. It probably went over her head a little and she thinks you’re actually sick like you caught something.

gembud · August 2021

EDD / Weeks + Days: 3/3 9w4d

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: grape

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: so we found out yesterday! I went a little crazy and randomly went to a boutique ultrasound place for a blood draw and we are having a boy, yay for brothers!

Upcoming Appointments: 8/20 for 12w

How are you feeling?: finally getting past the nausea and feeling better, but still can’t handle coffee

Rants/Raves: I was a bit disappointed at first when I heard boy, but now that I’ve sat on it I’m really happy. But RIP all my dreams of finally shopping in that large and cute girl side of the store

Questions:

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? We were calling him duck because he looked like a straight up duck in an ultrasound we got, but now that we know gender he is baby Luke!

@rachelredhead so glad the spotting is done!

morgantu · August 2021

@MusicalFamily sorry about your friend, that's frustrating. As for work.... I'll probably (maybe?) tell my boss next week after my US. She knows about my previous losses because i had to miss work and she knows we've been trying and i've been out for lots of appointments. I supervise a team of 35 so we will need to make plans for coverage. As for my team and peers, I'm hoping to wait until like 16 weeks-ish if possible. IDK if i'll be able to hide it that long, but that's my goal.

runnergirl2018 · August 2021

EDD / Weeks + Days: 3/18 - 7+3

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: raspberry

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out as soon as we can

Upcoming Appointments: tomorrow!!

How are you feeling?: SO TIRED. If i can lay down and not do anything, i'm okay. Too bad that doesn't work with my job and being a toddler mom! Generally feel yucky with varying levels of nausea. I definitely felt worse with my first, so far, so I am thankful for that. Thankfully my toddler has some empathy and brings me my water and tells me to lay down, and then asks if I"m feeling better

Rants/Raves: We've only told immediate family members so far and my FIL let things slip twice at a family party yesterday...not super happy especially since we haven't had our first appointment yet.

Questions: Curious how many people take prescription nausea med? I had a couple tablets left over from my last pregnancy and took one the other night when I had to be out and social and drive someone else and mostly took it as a precaution for vomiting, but I was amazed at just generally how much better I felt and will be chatting about it with my new doc tomorrow.

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? so far we just call them by whatever fruit size they are

For the person asking about Unisom - I take it nightly, so far just half a dose - It helps with my insomnia for sure and my nausea is also slightly less bad the next day when I take it. It doesn't make it go away for me but it helps a little.

and_peggy · August 2021

EDD / Weeks + Days: 5+6

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: I don’t really keep track of these 🤷🏻‍♀️

FTM/STM/TTM+: 5th TM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: undecided. Probably finding out

Upcoming Appointments: 8/16 first appointment

How are you feeling?: really just fine. This is a night and day difference than my other pregnancies.

Rants/Raves:

Questions:

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? Not yet.

kgg2241 · August 2021

@gembud Congrats on another baby boy! Little duck is so cute. And Luke would be our top name for a boy, but our friend used it. It is such a good name!

@MusicalFamily I'm sorry your friend's reaction was disappointing. That stings. I don't think I'll tell work until I'm like 16 weeks. My next appointment isn't until then and I don't want to chance it.

@morgantu I hope this week flies by and your ultrasound looks perfect! Sorry you are feeling so crappy. FX it gets better. I also didn't feel as sick with my first, but maybe you're right. I also didn't have a toddler then.

@rachelredhead I'm so glad to hear the spotting stopped. Good luck on your car ride.

EDD / Weeks + Days: 3/3 9+4

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: grape

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team finding out

Upcoming Appointments: Not until 9/14. Feels like forever.

How are you feeling?: A little better. Still pretty nauseous, but I think I hit the peak last week.

Rants/Raves: We had a crazy storm last night with some minor flooding at our house. Water was coming in through the windows and our roof leaked a little. Nothing too major but still sucks. Rave is that we finally got rain! It has been such a dry year.

Questions: Nope

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? Not yet. I'm sure one will stick once we feel more confident that everything is going to work out.

elle-0409 · August 2021

@panaceia That’s amazing that you already have names picked out! That part is still very abstract for me.

@rachelredhead I’m glad that you haven’t had anymore spotting. Good luck with the ultrasound tomorrow!
@morgantu How awesome that you’re team green. 💚 I think I’d last about five minutes. 😂
@MusicalFamily Aw, I’m sorry that your best friend didn’t have a better reaction. @gembud Wow! Congratulations! 💙💙💙

EDD / Weeks + Days: March 21/7 weeks

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: Baby is now 10,000 times bigger than they were at conception a month ago.

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: We will find out.

Upcoming Appointments: August 9 for a blood draw, August 10 for an ultrasound.

How are you feeling?: So. Tired. Also, very tender nipples. I’ve had a touch of nausea here and there, but not much (which of course makes me nervous).

Rants/Raves: My husband is in Orlando for work/looking for an apartment for us. It’s weird to not be there to choose where we will live, but I’m so tired that I’ll be okay with it.

Questions: For STM/STM+ Did you feel like your uterus stretched faster earlier? I don’t have a “bump” yet obviously, but I’m feeling more round.

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? For now, it’s Bean.

kgg2241 · August 2021

@elle-0409 I definitely feel like my uterus popped faster this time. Much quicker than with my first. Not that I really have a bump yet, but I can tell things are different if that makes sense.

abjm0325 · August 2021

EDD / Weeks + Days: March 26, 6w2d

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: corn kernel

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out

Upcoming Appointments: August 17

How are you feeling?: Nauseous and cramping, but otherwise not too bad. Really what’s getting to me is waking up in the middle of the night to pee and not being able to go back to sleep. Gah.

Rants/Raves: I miss taking baths! Such a silly thing, but I often took a bath in the evenings and that has been hard to give up.

Questions: NATM

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? We called my DD peanut, but haven’t started calling this little one anything in particular yet.

kgg2241 · August 2021

@abjm0325 I still take baths a few times a week! They are my way of decompressing. I asked my doctor and she said it is fine as long as your bathtub isn't the equivalent of a hot tub and can keep the water super hot for long periods of time. In a normal bathtub it isn't able to stay hot enough for long enough to be dangerous. That said, definitely do what feels right to you.

Panaceia · August 2021

@gembud Awwww I LOVE Luke ❤❤❤

@abjm0325 My doctor said baths are fine since they don't keep a constant temperature like a hot tub or leisure pool...unless you're like me and heat makes you throw up regardless:/ He just said to make sure that it wasn't crazy hot (like under 96 degrees) to start.

abjm0325 · August 2021

@Panaceia and @kgg2241 Thank you both! I like super hot baths usually, but I may try a lower temperature one to get my fix sometimes.

runnergirl2018 · August 2021

@abjm0325 I've been having an easier time with baths because the shower is getting too hot and steamy for me and makes me nauseous. huge fan of baths all throughout pregnancy - just have to watch the water temp

rachelredhead · August 2021

@abjm0325 I took soooo many Epsom salt baths with my son, they were my main stress relief. Definitely give it a try at a slightly lower temp, or just make it super hot to start and let it cool as you sit. Baths cool off fast if you’re not adding more heat so they are rarely a risk unless you’re doing the hot tub thing.

abjm0325 · August 2021

@Panaceia Sorry you’re so sick! Hope that is a great sign for your ultrasound next week.

@Lcardinal04 Yay for our first appointments on the 17th!

@rachelredhead So glad your spotting has stopped! Hope the ultrasound goes really well tomorrow.

@morgantu At least your craving is a relatively healthy one!

@MusicalFamily I’m sorry about your friend. ☹ It’s always so hard when people don’t have the reaction you want. I told my boss already, won’t tell colleagues for awhile.

@gembud Hooray for brothers!

@runnergirl2018 Your toddler sounds so sweet! I’m not taking a prescription med (yet), but last pregnancy I took Diclegis and it definitely helped.

@v2hb Glad you’re feeling okay this pregnancy.

@kgg2241 Oh man, sorry for the flooding! That stinks.

@elle-0409 Love your interesting fact!

trails15 · August 2021

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: size of a headphone earbud

FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out next month with our NIPT

Upcoming Appointments: 9/3 at 12 weeks

How are you feeling?: Generally pretty gross, but still able to be fully functional at work so counting my blessings there. Sore boobs, always exhausted but not sleeping terribly well, nausea and some occasional diarrhea but no vomiting. Basically has felt like I have had a low-grade hangover for the last two weeks.

Rants/Raves: We told our parents and siblings this weekend which was really exciting! This is the first grandchild on either side so everyone was pretty stoked. Now just anxiously waiting for our 12 week appointment and NIPT results so that we can feel good about telling our wider circle!

Questions: Has anyone ever done Centering Pregnancy or another group prenatal program? We signed up (with the knowledge that we can always drop out and go back to regular care with my OB if we don't like it), but would be curious to hear others' experiences!

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? Their first on-camera appearance in our ultrasound last week was very peanut-shaped, so it's peanut for now

@musicalfamily my current boss already knows (we're good friends and when I had to go off camera for a meeting because I wasn't feeling well, she immediately was like YOU'RE PREGNANT and I couldn't lie haha), but I'm transitioning to a new role in my organization in about three months. Planning on telling my new manager and HR around 15 weeks if everything looks good with my next appointment and the NIPT.

ansa1704 · August 2021

EDD / Weeks + Days: March 23, 6+5

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: A sweet pea I think

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out! I'm way too impatient

Upcoming Appointments: Our first appointment is August 11. Counting down the days!

How are you feeling?: I'm having that metallic taste that I've heard a few others mention. I can't eat anything green (go figure) or eggs. Tonight, even white rice tasted a bit off. The nausea has been manageable, but it has definitely increased from other weeks. And I got round ligament pain when I sneezed the other night! I was kind of freaking out about it until I read on the symptoms board that other moms have experienced it this early, too. It made me more normal and less like I'm falling apart, haha.

Rants/Raves: Recovering from a road trip to see family--2 days in the car with my 2-year-old. I was so worried about it, but other than a short stretch when I thought puking was inevitable, we made it pretty smoothly.

Questions: Does the metallic taste last the whole pregnancy? Or is it more of a first trimester thing?

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? We call it "the bun"

@rachelredhead I hope you had a smooth road trip! Good luck at the ultrasound tomorrow!

313Meg · August 2021

Oh geez, how do I reply to all!? 😝

@Panaceia I’m sorry you are still so sick!

@Lcardinal04 the unisom has been helping me. I am not seeing a huge difference the next day but it’s helping my stomach aches and to sleep of course. I didn’t use it much last pregnancies. Safe travels!

@rachelredhead good luck at the us tomorrow!

@morgantu I’m craving pineapple but then it gets too acidic. I wish I wanted more fruit!

@MusicalFamily im there with ya. 2 boys here. Fx so much for a girl lol.

@gembud such a sweet name! I’m so anxious too!!

@runnergirl2018 no nausea meds here. Good luck tomorrow!

@elle-0409 hope he finds the perfect place! I’m a TTM so I feel so bloated!! Def have the rlp and although not “popping” I’m just rounder.

@kgg2241 good luck on the clean up!

@abjm0325 I took a bath w salts and it was lovely. It’s just not getting too warm. I like mine hot too which is why I usually stick to showers.

@trails15 my friend did centering and still is close to all of them! She said it was a wonderful experience!

EDD / Weeks + Days: 9w5d (just bumped edd up 3 days today) 3/2 is the edd

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: 🍒

FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: gotta find out. I have nothing!

Upcoming Appointments: had ultrasound today, dr apt the 9th

How are you feeling?: tired, nauseous, pee too freaking much.

Rants/Raves: lots, lots.

Questions: nope.

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? I’m just trying to get excited. It was a relief to see the heartbeat, and some wiggles.

Panaceia · August 2021

@ansa1436292063 For me the bad taste lasts the entire pregnancy...but I'm also one of the lucky ones who is super sick and vomiting all the way until delivery. I hear many other people say that it usually ends with their morning sickness. Hopefully it will be that way for you!

elle-0409 · August 2021

@ansa1436292063 I had some metallic taste while pregnant with my DD, but it only lasted a few days. It was very bizarre!

night_nurse · August 2021

@Panaceia next week!! So close!

@Lcardinal I have been taking 25mg unisom with 25-50mg b6 every night since about 5 weeks. It doesn’t completely eliminate the nausea for me but it absolutely helps.

@rachelredhead happy ultrasound day! Keep us updated!

@morgantu give me all the cold fruit right now too! Pineapple, honeycrisp apples, cherries, peaches, oranges etc. Sometimes all I can eat at a meal.

@MusicalFamily im sorry for your friend’s reaction. If she means a lot to you I would mention it some time in the near future just to avoid any resentment on your side. That’s really disappointing, im so sorry. Im not sure when I will start telling work. I work in the ER. First pregnancy I had to tell some people around 10 weeks because of certain procedures and patients I couldn’t do. We’ll see what happens this time. Luckily scrubs perfectly hide bloat/bumps.

@gembud congrats! Boy mom! Love Luke so much!

@kgg2241 we’ve had water getting into our crawlspace with all the rain lately too. DH and I rage dug and installed an entire french drain Friday night to help with drainage. Used muscles I didn’t even know I had 😂 im glad yours was minimal- but still sucks im sure.

@runnergirl2018 I took a zofran around 6 weeks because i was miserable. It isnt recommended now until after 10 weeks so doctor wouldnt write for more but he did give me phenergan and if I just take half (6.25mg) it really really helps without making me too tired. Also doing unisom/b6 nightly.

@elle-0409 definitely more “round” this time than with my first.

gembud · August 2021

Good luck today @rachelredhead !

Upcoming Appointments: August 17 for second ultrasound due to age and previous miscarriages

How are you feeling?: extremely tired, no nausea though.

Rants/Raves: really not enjoying the sudden crying fits lol I'm not usually a highly emotional person, usually logical.

Questions: is it normal to be extremely exhausted but not able to sleep?

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? Peanut

night_nurse · August 2021

EDD / Weeks + Days: 8+5 today! March 10th

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: Raspberry I think

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: I want to be Team Green so badly, but we will see if we have the will power.

Upcoming Appointments: 8/25 for 12 wks

How are you feeling?: Up and down. Nausea is definitely running in 3 day cycles. In a rough patch right now but hopeful I’ll get a couple good days coming up.

Rants/Raves: My 3.5yo has been the absolute best with adjusting to less outings to parks and outside time. Even bringing the little doctor kit over to “take care” of me ❤️

Questions:

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? Nothing that’s stuck yet, just bean.

jennifer_m21 · August 2021

EDD / Weeks + Days: 3/16/21 - 8 weeks

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: Baby is the size of a prenatal vitamin

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Will definitely find out so I can plan!

Upcoming Appointments: Fri 8/6 (RE u/s appt) and Mon 8/9 (first OB appt)

How are you feeling?: Fatigued, fatigued, and more fatigued. I need at least 2-3 small naps per day, or I'm a zombie.

Rants/Raves: My 3.5 yo is a screaming maniac when he doesn't get what he wants, so that has been fun!

Questions: none

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? Not yet, maybe when I'm further along!

jenis_fan_for_life · August 2021

EDD / Weeks + Days: 3/28 / 6+3

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: Maybe a pea?

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM, DD will be 2 later this month!

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding Out!

Upcoming Appointments: 8/18.. still so far away 🤦‍♀️

How are you feeling?: Overall, pretty good! Today, a burst of nausea and exhaustion.

Rants/Raves: Rave - my hubby finally made the homemade cookies n cream ice cream 🤤 DD and I both loved it!

Questions: Has anyone else experienced significant variation in nausea symptoms from day to day? Last pregnancy I was consistently SO sick for SO long. So far, I’ve had one or two tough days then several good ones, followed by another tough one. I know it is still early, but it is puzzling!

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? Not sure yet.

jennifer_m21 · August 2021

@jenis_fan_for_life I've been having varying degrees of nausea! The bouts usually occur in the late afternoon/dinnertime, but sometimes I get sick, sometimes I don't. It's like a box of chocolates, I never know if I'm going to have a good day or a bad day!

nursejenn5 · August 2021

EDD / Weeks + Days: March 31. 6+0

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: pea.

FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out. Can’t convince DH otherwise

Upcoming Appointments: 8/17 for history intake. 8/20 for OB physical. Hopefully US the week after!!

How are you feeling?: just overall meh. It’s harder trying to be cheery and want to do things with my DS. Vs last time around I literally could veg out all day long.

Rants/Raves: DH keeps joking it’s twins. I have twins in my family. And I’m hoping his jokes don’t turn to reality 😂 but I have to say he occasionally holds/rubs my belly which is nuts to me because with my first pregnancy I think he touched my stomach maybe once. He just was not interested at all(and more scared he said the first time😂). So I find it endearing this time around. 🥰

Questions: n/a

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? Nothing yet. 😅

realhousewife519 · August 2021

@Lcardinal04 and @MusicalFamily I love how confident TTMs are about gender predictions. Must just be a gut feeling!

@abjm0325 I bath every night including while pregnant. It keeps me sane. My first BMB had a weekly thread called "tub snacking" where everybody shared what they were snacking on while in the tub. My baths are often accompanied by netflix & icecream.

@Panaceia so annoying your mom didn't pick up on your hints. My mom never did either. last pregnancy I dropped every hint and I even dressed my son in a shirt that said "I am going to be a Big Brother!.... nope... still didn't notice. Now I just tell her: "hi, I am pregnant"

@kgg241 my uterus has popped out as well. I definitely have a bump. With baby 1 I didn't show for 16 weeks. With baby 3 its shocking how quickly it shows.

EDD / Weeks + Days: March 19 = 7w5d

Baby is the size of a(n) / interesting fact: App says blueberry but I like @morgantu's suggestion of honeybee better so lets go with that

FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out

Upcoming Appointments: First ultrasound Monday August 9!

How are you feeling?: Good. Tummy a little off, feeling tired but happy etc.

Rants/Raves: I find I always re-evaluate my life, routine, business, every time I get pregnant. its like a life spring-cleaning or a newfound clarity. I guess I am already nesting by making plans of how I can streamline my life and routine so that by the time baby comes things are less chaotic.

Questions: none

GTKY: Do you have a nickname you call your baby? Just baby.
