Re: Weekly Check-In: Week of 12/5
EDD / Weeks + Days: 18W3D
Baby is the size of a: ballpoint pen
Team blue/pink/green: finding out on 12/15
Upcoming Appointments: anatomy scan 12/15
How are you feeling?: Pretty good today. My gut can never decide how it wants to process what I eat. Some days are normal...some days are
Rants/Raves:
Rave: We went to a photo studio for Christmas pictures yesterday and DD was AMAZING. She loved having the camera on her and hammed it up the whole time, and our photographers said she was the most enthusiastic kid they'd seen all day. Made this former theatre kid very proud
Rant: Wrapping gifts with DD was another story. She refused to let me handle the tape and pulled out footlong pieces at a time, then got mad because she wanted to eat her grandmother's gift. She also made me talk like Baby Bear from Sesame Street the entire time...huh?
Questions: nope
GTKY: Have you had any "baby brain" moments so far? What has been your craziest one? I've turned my car off before putting it into park, twice. I also went to turn off the kitchen light and hit the fridge water dispenser instead
EDD / Weeks + Days: 16w 6 days
Baby is the size of a: taco
Team blue/pink/green: blue
Upcoming Appointments: tomorrow and AS at the end of the month
How are you feeling?: Still tired. I feel like I had way more energy this far in with my sons. I also had a GI bug this weekend so still not feeling great from that.
Rants/Raves:
Rant: not feeling well, I got nothing done all weekend and our house is a s***show, DH tried to keep up with what he could.
Rave: the boys took pretty good care of me. DS1 kept getting his toy stethoscope to check on cowboy (his nickname for the baby)
Questions:
GTKY: Have you had any "baby brain" moments so far? What has been your craziest one? Nothing crazy sticking out. But I tried running a report 3 times today, couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting any data. Only to find on the fourth time it was because I was doing past day instead of entering in Friday's date. ETA because I forgot that last week I put the cream cheese in the sink instead of back in the fridge.
@hestia-is-wearie dying that she made you talk like Baby Bear the whole time.
EDD / Weeks + Days: May 5/18w3d
Baby is the size of a: pen
Team blue/pink/green: finding out soon!
Upcoming Appointments: anatomy scan 12/22
How are you feeling?: Mostly pretty good. Still not digging the restless legs at night.
Rants/Raves:
rave: my sister in law’s sister in law (lol) is passing down a bunch of maternity clothes to me. Yay free clothes! Perfect timing because my regular clothes are definitely not fitting very well anymore…
Questions: STMs (+), when was your partner able to feel baby’s movements? I’m anxious for DH to feel all the dancing the babe does after I eat fruit, but so far all I can feel outside is my pulse.
GTKY: Have you had any "baby brain" moments so far? What has been your craziest one? So many, but none wild. Mostly just completely forgetting the words for things or what I am doing in the middle of doing it.
EDD / Weeks + Days: May 7th/ 18w1d
Baby is the size of a: artichoke?
Team blue/pink/green: green
Upcoming Appointments: anatomy scan on the 13th
How are you feeling?: Finally getting more energy and into that second trimester golden zone.
Rants/Raves: told my boss last week about the pregnancy as I had to get put on modified duties... It was not the greatest experience and then he decided to announce it at our staff meeting a few days later in a not so flattering way. Sigh..
Questions: NATM
GTKY: Have you had any "baby brain" moments so far? What has been your craziest one? Drove away with my vehicle still plugged in this morning.. some lady waved me down and said my extension cord was dragging behind my vehicle. Haha
EDD / Weeks + Days: 14+3 6/2 - pretty sure I'll still be in the second trimester when y'all have your babies
Baby is the size of a:
Team blue/pink/green: Pink!
Upcoming Appointments: I don't go back until after Christmas for my 18 week appt
How are you feeling?: Great! I got up and worked out this morning. I feel 100% normal, aside from some pressure if I stand too long and general crampiness if I get dehydrated.
Rants/Raves: my birthday is Wednesday! I told my husband I either wanted an iPad or a night alone at a hotel. He booked the hotel night and MIL got me an iPad, so win win all around
Questions:
GTKY: Have you had any "baby brain" moments so far? What has been your craziest one? I haven't! I will never forget the girl in my first BMB though who drove away from the gas station with the nozzle thing still inside her car and caused tons of $$$ in damage. I literally check every single time.
@courtney701 oh gosh it was pretty late - definitely past 20 weeks for me with my first. They're still just so (relatively) tiny that it's hard to feel movement from the outside for a whiel!
EDD / Weeks + Days: 18+2
Baby is the size of a: cucumber (which seems large to me)
Team blue/pink/green: 12/19 can’t come soon enough!
Upcoming Appointments: see above lol
How are you feeling?: exhausted, but that’s more from work and life than baby. Had some round ligament pain last night and ouch. I also have been feeling super light headed if I move too fast.
Rants/Raves: just have the busiest week of my life this week. It’s only Monday and I’m not Coping well lol
Questions:
GTKY: Have you had any "baby brain" moments so far? What has been your craziest one? I am sure I have but can’t remember 😂
EDD / Weeks + Days: 5/3, 18w6
Baby is the size of a: bell pepper
Team blue/pink/green: Pink
Upcoming Appointments: checkup tomorrow, Anatomy scan 12/12
How are you feeling?: Pretty good in general, but just getting over a nasty cold from last week
Rants/Raves: Rant: I hate how many people send their kids to school sick after the holiday breaks, every time, that’s how we all ended up sick over the weekend and it was brutal. It’s also how my son ended up with Covid last January and again this past September. Rave: Just found out that starting 1/1 the shop owner I work under is bumping my artist split 5-10% based on my weekly gross! Also scored a deal last week on a new wireless machine I’ve been wanting for awhile for 25% off (it’s normally a $1200 machine).
Questions: I’m struggling with round ligament pain from all the coughing and sneezing I had, and I’ve had a little bit before I got sick, does it get better after a bit since I won’t be coughing and sneezing so much or will it just kinda suck until I give birth now?
GTKY: Have you had any "baby brain" moments so far? What has been your craziest one? I spent a little over an hour prepping a shoulder cap design for a client only to realize I had already drawn it already and tattooed the outline for them a few weeks earlier and they were only coming in for shading to finish it up at their upcoming appointment.
EDD / Weeks + Days: 5/13, 17w3d
Baby is the size of a: taco
Team blue/pink/green: 💙
Upcoming Appointments: 12/12 cervical length check & 12/19 for checkup and monthly blood work
How are you feeling?: pretty decent, I do still get headaches/migraines. But food has been easier to deal with.
Rants/Raves: my husband is a cranky man for not having sex. We’re trying to not further my shortening cervix problem and boy is he cranky. This isn’t his first rodeo with no sex during pregnancy.
Questions: none right now
GTKY: Have you had any "baby brain" moments so far? What has been your craziest one?
i don’t think I have anything crazy, I just forget words.
EDD / Weeks + Days: 17w1d
Baby is the size of a: pomegranate
Team blue/pink/green: boy!
Upcoming Appointments: anatomy u/s on 12/16
How are you feeling?: better each week! Starting to do some short and gentle prenatal yoga through the Peloton app and it’s been such a nice, relaxing and centering activity.
Rants/Raves: rave: I cleaned out my closet yesterday and organized a dedicated section with only clothes that actually fit/are maternity clothes. This already made picking out clothes this morning so much easier!
Questions: none right now!
GTKY: Have you had any "baby brain" moments so far? What has been your craziest one? I was leaving a voicemail for someone and completely forgot my phone number when leaving them a callback number 🤦🏻♀️ I also keep forgetting basic plot lines on tv shows and am having the hardest time keeping up with storylines haha!
EDD / Weeks+ Days: 16w4d
Baby is the size of a: plorp
Team blue/pink/green: green

How are you feeling?: good, I even had a schmidge of coffee recently, which is usually my strongest aversion when nauseated
Rants/Raves: my life is boring right now, don’t have any
Questions: none
GTKY: Have you had any "baby brain" moments so far? What has been your craziest one? I don’t really have forgetfulness but I have irrationally expressed anger any time I’m asked to do things that involve walking from one place to another (like delivering paperwork to the office next door) because it triggers my nausea. I keep just whining every time I’m asked instead of using my words like, “I hate doing this because I have to throw up in the office next door or come back quickly to throw up here.” Instead I’m like “Nnnoooo, ugh, I hate this, I don’t wanna,” and the person asking is like ohhhkayy. 😅
EDD / Weeks + Days: 16w 6d
Baby is the size of a: Avocado
Team blue/pink/green: Blue
Upcoming Appointments: had one yesterday. Anatomy u/s on 1/3.

Questions:
GTKY: Have you had any "baby brain" moments so far? What has been your craziest one? They just started this past week and have been daily! Nothing crazy yet. Just forgetting words and where I just set something.
