Re: Weekly Checkin w/o 1/9--All August EDD
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We were team green until we weren't last time LOL. Probably team finding out.
Baby is the size of a(n): find out on wednesday
Upcoming appointments: 1/11 viability U/S, 1/20 if all goes well on 1/11?, Therapy next week, PCP got moved to Feb 17th
How are you feeling? Emotionally all over the place. Glad that symptoms are cropping up still/back/hanging around. I'm taking it as a good sign. I'm still testing every other day, lines are strong but I also don't want to get my hopes up.
Raves/Rants: Wednesday is so far way.
Hubby is back to work this week. I am remote, but he's a researcher so he's in person. It's nice to get a chance to miss him after two weeks.
Questions: N/A
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended? The best concert? Green Day was my first concert. I've seen them so many times LOL. But best concert even though I was in the nose bleed section was definitely Lady Gaga. Damn that woman can put on a performance! I kinda miss going to concerts.
I'm so mad that I didn't go to the Tool concert when they were in town in 2019. I was in my third trimester though and Philly has legalized pot, and while I love that, I didn't really wanna experience all the second hand high while pregnant. But DH got to go and loved every second of it. They better not come again until late 2023/2024 LOL so I can go see them next time around.

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: I’m happy to have a healthy baby. But leaning towards wanting PINK!
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming appointments: 1/23 blood work and US (hopefully)
How are you feeling? Great. Very little symptoms. Tender breasts. Occasionally queasy. But nothing other than that.
Raves/Rants: all I want is to feel sick.as bad as it sounds lol
Questions:
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended? The best concert? I’m not sure if I remember my first concert. But best concert was probably black eyed peas. And they had ludacris and LMFAO open up. I got the tickets for free. Wasn’t expecting to enjoy it. And it was AMAZING!!!

PG #3: EDD 12/15/23
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out! Based on my husband's family's track record, it's probably going to be blue but I'm happy with either.
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming appointments: Feb 3 for first trimester screening
How are you feeling? I'm queasy occasionally and still super bloated, but otherwise I feel good.
Raves/Rants: We announced to my MIL/FIL and MIL was like "oh I already knew a few weeks ago, I could tell by the way you were walking". I'm like what??? I can't get anything past this woman, she has sixth sense for these kind of things, which totally ruins any element of surprise
Questions: None at the moment.
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended? The best concert? First concert I think was Zedd before he got popular. Most memorable was Swedish House Mafia because I went with a bunch of friends in university and we had so much fun. I also saw Halsey before she got big, I paid like $30 or $40 for the ticket. She's an awesome performer!

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out.
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Upcoming appointments: I’m going to call in a bit to see if I can get an ultrasound to check on things today.
How are you feeling? My symptoms went away right as everything else was happening and that was really scary. They came back on Sunday with a vengeance and are back today. I literally wake every morning with what feels like butterflies in my stomach but it’s just the start of my nausea. It’s kinda weird.
Raves/Rants: I slept all wrong last night and now my neck hurts really bad.
Questions: none.
@melissa112009 that sounds like a really good concert. I would have enjoyed that one. I personally didn’t go to concerts when I was younger and now with all my kids it’s just not a doable thing.

EDD/Weeks + days: 8/29, 6w6d
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry tomorrow
Upcoming appointments: graduation ultrasound on Friday!
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Very tired, bloated, sore boobs, moody and emotional, occasional nausea, insomnia, sensitive nose.
Raves/Rants: I finally got to connect with my therapist on Friday night. We were supposed to meet the weekend before and she had a car emergency come up so I’m grateful we got to meet up this week. I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to be in therapy during this pregnancy between my horrible anxiety and my loss history. I’m excited and anxious about my ultrasound on Friday. It feels surreal that I will be moving on to my regular OB after that appointment.
Questions: nothing
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended? The best concert?

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out!
Baby is the size of a(n): chocolate truffle or strawberry app says
Upcoming appointments: first one this Thursday
How are you feeling? Just too exhausted every night. And easily irritated
Raves/Rants:
Questions:
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended? The best concert? I haven’t done many concerts. First, probably Styx at the county fair with my parents. A sort of dragged along thing. Best, Ramin Djawadi did a really cool GoT one back when that show was big.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out! Everyone thinks it’s a girl me included except SO and DS. Boys run strong on SO’s side of the family though so I won’t hold my breath for a girl lol
Baby is the size of a(n): gummy bear!
Upcoming appointments: one this month…I should probably check when that is
How are you feeling? Awful most days, nauseous and exhausted. Starting to get a bit emotional especially if I don’t get a nap😂
Raves/Rants: I was able to get down prenatals for the first time in 3 days! Granted I took them with a Dr Pepper but at least they’re down!
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended? The best concert? First concert was a country music festival with lonestar. Best was George strait, Chris Stapleton, and little big town
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We decided we are not finding out until labor.
Baby is the size of a(n): a big strawberry, baby sea turtle shell
Upcoming appointments: just left my appt today. Next one is Tuesday 1.17, the chromosome blood work test.
How are you feeling? So happy bc I just saw my first ultrasound and my baby is bigger than I expected and I have one more week until my 2nd trimester. Morning sickness sucks so I’m over it.
Raves/Rants: happy about my drs appt but I think I’m going to switch drs. Besides the dr, no one is friendly there. But the dr was on a phone call with her friend chatting it up when i was entering her office. Kind of unprofessional. The ultrasound machine doesn’t have sound? So I didn’t hear my baby’s heartbeat. It’s kind of in the ghetto (I just switched insurances so this is what they offered) and there were soo many people waiting like 20 bc the ultrasound technician only comes on Mondays for an hour.
Questions: does the ultrasound machine have sound? Lol I don’t know if it was just this office’s machine?
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended? The best concert? First concert was Britney Spears when I was 16.
Also my daughter has been sleeping like hot garbage lately and I can't remember the last time I slept more than a 4-hour stretch. HOW DID WE FUNCTION LIKE THIS WITH A NEWBORN
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out!
Baby is the size of a(n): somewhere between blueberry and raspberry I think
Upcoming appointments: 1/16 u/s….cannot come quickly enough!!
How are you feeling? Tired, nauseous, can’t get to sleep but want to nap all day. Still don’t feel like eating until later in the day. Things smell weird
Raves/Rants: I’m back to work this week and the kids are back to school. I’m already tired. I do get to go home and lay down soon!!
Questions: n/a
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended? The best concert? I don’t like crowds. I went to a Black Eyed Peas concert in college because my roomie won tickets on the radio. It was cool.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: I’m so torn! We were team green last time which was awesome. When I was pregnant I knew that if I was having a boy I’d be stressed with time to think about it. But if I waited I figured I wouldn’t have gender disappointment. I was right!! But this time I kind of want to know for planning purposes. Like clothes really, and deciding how long we can keep the two kids in one room. We’ll see.
Baby is the size of a(n): cherry
Upcoming appointments: Wednesday u/s!!!
How are you feeling? I’m feeling ok. My sleep is crap. So much anxiety and getting up to pee. Nausea this morning was rough. Emotionally I’m struggling with motivation and excitement. I think after Wednesday assuming baby looks good I will let myself get excited and plan to tell my parents this weekend.
Raves/Rants:
Questions: Are there any twin pregnancies in the group yet? There were two on my last bump group!
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended? The best concert? First was Britney. And best is every Taylor swift show I’ve been to (I’ve been to six — im one of those crazy fans) but probably speak now in 2011 was my favorite, then the reputation tour
Team Finding Out!
Baby is the size of a(n): pea!
Upcoming appointments: ultrasound on Wednesday, 1/11!
How are you feeling?
Emotional. The “Baby Race” Bluey episode made me cry tonight when I was watching it with my 5yo, and I’ve seen it a million times before and NOT cried 🙃
Raves/Rants:
Food tastes so good right now. And I’m so suggestible. I watched a video of my nephew having his first taste of pineapple, and now I want some desperately 🍍
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended?
The OC Supertones, when I was in junior high 😆

Team Finding Out, I think.
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming appointments: nothing for the next couple of weeks.
How are you feeling? Blergh. I feel like a hot pile of rubbish. Nauseated 24/7 and so tired. I’m also anxious about the SCH and passing PGAL milestones. Overall I’m feeling disconnected, maybe it’s that the pregnancy wasn’t expected? I’m not sure.
Raves/Rants:
Questions:
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended? The best concert? First concert: Aqua (as in, Barbie Girl Aqua 😂) when I was 10. Best concert: this one is tricky. Maybe Tegan and Sara or possibly Snow Patrol at the Greek Theatre in LA. Hot Hot Heat opened for them which was extra best. I miss live music! Between kids and the pandemic it’s been ages since I’ve seen anything live. We had tickets to see Jimmy Eat World in April 2020, but the whole tour was obviously postponed and then just cancelled.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Green again!
Baby is the size of a(n): A large strawberry
Upcoming appointments: Next Monday, 1/16. I'll be relieved to hear the heartbeat again. The lack of symptoms really get to me until I can feel the baby move.
How are you feeling? Pretty good. I'm not nearly as zapped as I've been feeling the past few weeks.
Raves/Rants: Rave: finally bit the bullet and got a new vehicle. I've been driving around my tiny sedan and when my daughter moved to a convertible, she literally didn't fit. We've been working with only one car seat in my H's car and it's so nice to not have to do that anymore! I also love all of the new comforts/technologies of having an upgrade.
Rant: My daughter's sleep has been atrocious. I think it's her ears but she had tubes put in and I've been giving her the antibiotic drops. I'm afraid one has fallen out or something. I'm taking her to the pedi tomorrow to check.
Questions: N/A
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended? The best concert? I think the first was Savage Garden. The best was probably Elton John. He really puts on a show and literally performs the entire time. It's amazing considering his age and he had just gotten over pneumonia right before we saw him too!
