    How Far Along? 21 weeks 6 days

    How big is baby? Least weasel, baseball hat

    Upcoming Appointments? Not for a few weeks - flu shot scheduled for the end of the week

    TTGP Grad?

    IF/RPL/High Risk? RPL, AMA, broken thyroid

    How are you feeling? Hungry, but overall pretty good

    Rants/Raves? The boys did great on our trip to my sister's house over the weekend.  Usually car rides are awful, but neither ride there or back made me question my life choices. It was my mom's birthday, so we went to Cats on Saturday afternoon.  My mom and sister loved it, and it was well done, but it was just watching people dance around and sing while wearing cat suits for me lol.

    Questions? 

    GTKY: Who is your longest standing celebrity crush? I'm trying to think of one and failing, but I'm sure I have one. DH is in love with Shania Twain, but you didn't ask about him lol.  Growing up, it was Devin Sawa.

    How Far Along? 22w tomorrow

    How big is baby? Size of a Starbucks Trenta cup (!)

    Upcoming Appointments? Anatomy scan and first OB appointment this Wednesday! I'm so excited!!

    How are you feeling? Finally getting achey during the night, and definitely feel "full of baby" lately (this belly has POPPED), but otherwise I feel good!

    Rants/Raves? DS1 is back to sleeping through the night after our illness last weekend! Woohoo!

    Questions? Hopefully not TMI but is anyone else getting contractions after orgasms? I don't remember that happening until later last pregnancy, but I read it can be anytime.

    GTKY: Who is your longest standing celebrity crush? Oh, Trent Reznor for sure.

    How big is baby? banana
    Upcoming Appointments? not until the end of the month
    TTGP Grad? nope
    IF/RPL/High Risk? nope
    How are you feeling? exhausted and achy but not terrible!
    Rants/Raves? I'm too tired to even think of any  :D Maybe that's a rant in itself
    Questions? None
    GTKY: Who is your longest standing celebrity crush? Oh man I can't even think of any! My only current "celebrity" crushes are Peloton instructors. But honestly Brian from BSB could probably still get it  :*




    @makingbacon I LOVE pretty much all Broadway musicals AND cats (like the animals) but can't freaking stand Cats. I just don't get it.

    @ninrms I don't necessarily get contractions but orgasms definitely feel different... a little more intense maybe? and like I'm more likely to pee? lol

    How big is baby? Magnifying Glass from Honey I shrunk the Kids

    TTGP Grad? No

    Rants/Raves? Rave: My birthday was an excellent relaxing day with delicious food and hiking in the fall colors.
    Questions? natm
    GTKY: Who is your longest standing celebrity crush? I honestly can't think of a long-standing one. They're usually really short. Right now it's Sam Heughan.

    @makingbacon Yes! I totally had a crush on Devin Sawa!
    @ninrms Mine just started this week (contraction during orgasm)! It makes me less likely to want to orgasm because it freaks me out!
    kaf1788 Brian was always my fave too.

    How Far Along? 20w tomorrow - officially half way there!

    How big is baby? Endive

    Upcoming Appointments? Chiropractor 10/11 (I'm counting it since I only have set appts during pregnancy and I missed my normal timeframe by 2 weeks due to scheduling so it's very much needed) - Anatomy scan 10/13!!

    TTGP Grad? nope
    IF/RPL/High Risk? no

    How are you feeling? Overall pretty good, was super lazy over the weekend but I really don't have much to report on

    Rants/Raves? Rave - despite my patience wearing thin towards the end of it, yesterday was a successful day with my mom and both girls at an area craft fair. We walked away with a lot of great stuff and for it being a long day the girls did fantastic. The super lazy weekend happened when we got back and had a movie day for the remainder of the day so I could rest my heavy belly. Doesn't seem like that much weight until you carry it around all morning without a break.

    Questions? natm

    GTKY: Who is your longest standing celebrity crush? Always used to be Leonardo Dicaprio but now I don't know. Don't really have one to be honest. I'm so far behind on all of my shows it's insane.

    @ninrms I always had bad contractions after orgasm during the 1st trimester but they've gone away now. Maybe they'll pick back up again, I don't remember anything too crazy with the last two pregnancies.

    How Far Along? 22+4 

    How big is baby?eggplant

    Upcoming Appointments? Late October 

    TTGP Grad? Yes, from June 2019-may 2021 

    IF/RPL/High Risk? secondary IF

    How are you feeling? Good! A little achy In my groin area if I’m too active, but not bad. 

    Rants/Raves? Today is mine and my husbands 8 year wedding anniversary! We went out this weekend on a date and exchanged gifts. We went to a Japanese place and I had cooked sushi. I would have loved some spicy tuna though. 🥲 I think tonight I might just cook a good dinner. I haven’t decided on what yet. Things are going well with the baby, I’ve been feeling a ton of movement. And working on the nursery a bit more. I’ve mainly just cleared things out of the spare room and unboxed a few things, but progress! I guess I’ve been feeling a little nesty lately. Anyone else? 

    Questions? Nope

    GTKY: Who is your longest standing celebrity crush? Probably Orlando bloom, but just in pirates of the Caribbean. And Ian whatever his last name is from vampire diaries. (Damon) but tbh, I’m just not super into crushes like that. But I can appreciate nice face 😂

    @makingbacon glad your trip went well! I hear you on cats. Sounds weird to me too. 

    @ninrms a trenta cup seems so big! Not contractions I guess, but every now and then light cramps. 

    @kaf1788 looks like we’re all entering the achy period. 

    @lexilougolden glad your birthday was good! 

    @angelob88 I always feel fine too unless I’m on my feet too long. Yesterday I mopped and did a ton around the house and it got me achy too!

    Upcoming Appointments?     Not til 10/18
    TTGP Grad?     Briefly

    How are you feeling? Physically ok. I have what I’m wondering might be an umbilical hernia starting…
    Rants/Raves?
    Rant: just struggling in our marriage right now, so that sucks. Been together 19 years, married for 14, so I’m not like worried worried, just been a little rockier lately
    Questions? Natm
    GTKY: Who is your longest standing celebrity crush? @makingbacon 1000% on the Devon Sawa & JTT train when I was younger. Also liked Hanson and Nick Carter from BSB lol. But I outgrew those a long time ago. The most recent one is Chris Hemsworth. But it’s more like I really think he’s sexy and I love how much he loves his wife and how adorable he is with his kids. So 🤷🏻‍♀️

    I love Broadway personally, but would much rather be in the show than watching, tbh. 

    @ninrms no contractions with orgasms here, but that is one reason they say to have sex when you’re trying to induce labor - orgasms help with contractions, the physical hitting of the cervix helps with contractions, and semen actually helps efface the cervix #themoreyouknow

    Also, had to Google who Trent Reznor was!

    @lexilougolden had to Google Sam Heugan too 🤦🏻‍♀️ He’s cute though!

    How are you feeling? very tired, the pregnancy brain fog is strong for everything except anything baby-related
    Rants/Raves? rave: solidified baby shower info and ordered invitations! rant: trying to schedule the last couple of new parent/birthing classes for December and/or January (acupressure, and newborn prep w/ breastfeeding) but the December classes aren't live yet...but usually they have them 2 months out so idk. 
    Questions? I posted something in the STM+ thread but basically any support for how to help MH to mentally/emotionally prep for birth would be greatly appreciated
    GTKY: Who is your longest standing celebrity crush? Patrick Stump, lead singer of Fall Out Boy, I've had this crush since 2007 so you know it's serious lol

    @photographerwife happy anniversary! I do love a good cooked salmon roll, but feel your pain on the spicy tuna! I've also been hit with nesting hardcore this week, it's come in waves thus far. 
    @makingbacon I'm glad the trip went well!
    @ninrms "full of baby" - I love it!! I haven't noticed any contractions after orgasms but I also am not having very  many of those anyway atm
    @kaf1788 I hope you get lots of rest and naps to help with the tiredness :)
    @lexilougolden I'm glad you had a wonderful birthday! Sam Heughan is a good one ;)
    @angelob88 halfway is a big deal! this baby weight being so heavy really does sneak up on us doesn't it?! one moment it feels like not that much...and then you sit and it's like o.0 how have I been doing this all day?

    @angelz429 I had to google umbilical hernia - ouch! I hope it's not so uncomfortable :( I feel you on the rockier marriage stuff, like even if you aren't "worried worried" like you said it's still unpleasant and tough to try and navigate. <3

    How Far Along? 20 weeks today.

    How big is baby? The size on an axolotl!

    Upcoming Appointments? 20 week visit and anatomy scan in... 5 hours! 

    TTGP Grad? NOo

    IF/RPL/High Risk? No

    How are you feeling? Not pregnant 😂 I never got sick really during first trimester, the only thing different so far is that brushing my teeth makes me gag so much. I threw up in the sink this morning. 🙄

    Rants/Raves? 
    Rave: I'm so excited for the 20 week visit! I cannot wait to get a peek at baby today- this is the first appointment my husband has been able to go to for this little one! 
    Rant: Just a minor, super trivial complaint. The US is at 1215, and the appointment at 1 o'clock, and I don't know if I should eat lunch before or wait until after. I'm very sensitive to the scale, but also, we usually eat at 11/1130. 

    Questions? None

    GTKY: Who is your longest standing celebrity crush? So embarrassing- Sean Connery. 😂 He is just the most sexy old man LOL! As a kid I was absolutely in love with JTT, and I do have major heart eyes for Jason Momoa... but longest running crush- Sean Connery. 😂

    @makingbacon - pretty sure I'm with you on Cats LOL! I enjoy a lot of shows, that isn't one I've ever been interested in!

    @ninrms - yes to contractions after orgasm. Also, sex led to labor (full term) for 2 of my kiddos!  

    @kaf1788 YES to Brian, and hopefully you get some energy back soon! 

    @lexilougolden happy (late) birthday!  

    @angelob88 I also love seeing the chiropractor when I'm pregnant, it made such a difference for me last time! 

    @photographerwife happy anniversary to you guys! Japanese sounds so good! Maybe I will suggest that to my husband for lunch today. (We both have today off)

    @angelz429 I'm sorry you're in a hard place in your marriage. I think pandemic + pregnancy has taken a toll on so many couples. 

    @chgilmore I saw your post sking about how to prepare your husband when I was scrolling  earlier- Do you guys have close friends who have had kids recently? I know my husband discussed it casually with a few friends before our son was born. 🤷‍♀️ I sometimes think hearing it from someone you know is more reassuring than a random class of what *could* happen. Especially because most men are like, "oh it was fine" afterwards. I know MH was nervous but he ended up falling asleep and I had to enlist a nurse to help me wake him up when it was time to push. 😂😂 It could be totally boring!

    @modoodles aw yay for the US today!! that's a good call on having him reach out to someone he knows. We're basically the first out of any of his friends or even family who is having a kid, but I think he is familiar enough with some people to ask them and have them give him real answers. I'll suggest that :)

    @modoodles Yay for US! Are you team green? Can you eat and then not look at the scale? I'd do that! I also eat early-ish and don't like appointments interfering ;)

    @lexilougolden well, we walked in and the tech asked if we wanted to find out and my husband immediately said no, buuuut as soon as the wand was down it was a potty shot, so I'm pretty confident I know what we're having. 😂

  • lexilougoldenlexilougolden member
    @modoodles I wondered how they did that...here's the baby but don't look too closely! If I was team green I'd definitely know I was having a boy just by watching the Ultrasound. haha. Well... congrats!

    @chgilmore so i don’t think it’s the umbilical hernia anymore lol. I think it’s just I used to have my belly button pierced and the scar tissue there doesn’t like being moved lol.
