Team Boy/Girl/Surprise: Haven't decided yet! We found out with our first but I'm toying with the idea of leaving it a surprise this time
Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of: an m&m
Upcoming appointments: I have an appointment with my GP on Thursday to set up first trimester screening tests
How are you feeling: Tired, nauseous (but no vomiting yet), bloated. I watched Rihanna's halftime performance and I swear my bloat is bigger than her bump 😂
Rants / Raves: Nothing in particular today
Questions: none
GTKY: What are your hobbies? I don't really consider myself as having too many hobbies. I love reading, but not sure that counts? Right now, I most enjoy sleeping at the end of the day.

FTM/STM/STM+: STM
Team Boy/Girl/Surprise: we will find out. I kind of want another girl but husband is definitely wanting a boy
Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of: I think the baby is barely the size of anything at this point 😆
Upcoming appointments: haven't even called my OB yet. Will probably call next week.
How are you feeling: emotionally? In disbelief. Physically? A little dizzy and nauseated, and tired.
Rants / Raves: so after my first was born I was convinced that I was "one and done". So of course I got rid of all my maternity clothes and new born/ 0-6month baby clothes. 🫠😅 whooooops!
Questions: So I am still nursing my first. She is a little over a year and is doing a nice job with gradual self-weaning. She is way more into solid food now and I think she mostly nurses for comfort. Since I am pregnant now, should I be trying to wean her?
GTKY: What are your hobbies?
I love to make art and do creative stuff. I love swimming, hiking, and being outdoors
@alpacamama2 oh it’s definitely a pick what you know and the others you admire from afar! We love finding morels and corals but there are a few others we take home as well.

Team Boy/Girl/Surprise: we'll.most likely find out. I'm always wrong so I don't know haha but I feel boy again
Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of: an apple seed / opening of straw
Upcoming appointments: Follow-up ER ultrasound on February 24. It's been almost 2 weeks I called my OB/MFM and still no appointment 🙃 I followed up last week and it looks like I will have to do that again this week. I'm getting nervous because I am high risk and we need to schedule my surgery (cerclage)at around 12 weeks and it will come fast...
How are you feeling: Officially nauseated since yesterday. It's on and off throughout the day. I go from feeling like I need to eat to feeling like I ate too much. Super bloated too, I too currently look more pregnant than Rihanna @sawasap.
Rants / Raves: I have to go in the office on Thursday and Friday of the next week and I don't know what I'll wear because at the moment I look like 17 weeks pregnant
Questions: NATM
GTKY: What are your hobbies? I feel like I have no hobbies these days. But I used to play volleyball, before motherhood. I think that was my last hobby.
Team Boy/Girl/Surprise: I want to find out. Last pregnancy I had a hard time connecting with the baby while pregnant and only found out a week before delivery.
Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of: an m&m
Upcoming appointments: Friday!
How are you feeling: nauseous, tired all the time, sick/too full once I've eaten a bit of anything
Rants / Raves: my ds got a cold about 2 weeks after recovering from his last one so I feel like I'm getting no sleep and dealing with a grumpy little boy all day, does not help that I was already exhausted 😞
Questions: I am also still breastfeeding my 1st @alpacamama2 and am also wondering when would be a good time to wean. I do not want to be breastfeeding 2 at the same time.
GTKY: What are your hobbies? Reading and baking. I love trying new recipes and am GF so need to do a lot of modifying and experimenting to old favorites.
@linh18 well it makes me feel better that I'm not the only one! How old is your 1st? Mine is almost 13 months.
I read that your breastmilk will eventually change over to colostrum which the older kiddo will not want. So that may help with weaning. I think this happens around 5 months pregnant.
@alpacamama2 he's just 9 months now, so I'm torn because I want to breastfeed him as long as he needs but also don't want to be struggling weaning him within my last few months of pregnancy. I'm just taking each day as it goes. He loves food at the moment so I'm glad for that.
