Team Boy/Girl/Surprise: We'll find out! I'm hoping to have a good idea at my NT scan. It's the 3rd time I'll have the same tech and she always got it right so far!
Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of: Cherry/chocolate truffle
Upcoming appointments: Really excited for my first OB/MFM appointment tomorrow. Then NT scan on March 30th.
How are you feeling: I think I'm starting to feel better but I still have some nausea in the evening. Definitely have been having sudden food cravings. And definitely still exhausted 🙃
Rants / Raves: I think I'll tell my bosses at work that I'm expecting this week. 😬
Questions: NATM
GTKY: Do you collect anything? Hmmm no!
@sawasap oooo do you have any recipes that you are particularly excited about? Maybe we need a recipe swap thread.
Estimated Due Date / Weeks + Days: Oct 24th // 7 weeks
FTM/STM/STM+: STM
Team Boy/Girl/Surprise: we will find out. I want a girl, husband wants a boy. It's funny because I always saw myself having a boy but our first was a girl and now I'm in love with the idea of sisters.
Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of: a raspberry
Upcoming appointments: tomorrow!!!
How are you feeling: lots of nausea and fatigue.
Rants / Raves: I have a bunch of work related trainings and conferences coming up and I am so nervous about vomiting in the middle of them. I have very detailed plans of snacks to pack so hopefully that will help. 😄
Questions: natm
GTKY: Do you collect anything? Art supplies 🤪. It's a problem lol
Nancy Drew books. I started when I was in Middle School and my grandmother gave me her collection when I was in high school. I have some really old copies and some interesting editions. Hopefully I'll have a kid that's into reading them 😀
@alpacamama2 @sawasap I'd also be up for a recipe thread. I love to cook and bake and try new recipes. I made bulgogi beef yesterday for my husband and I and it was a hit but was also so easy to make!
Last week I fell backwards off an office chair and hit my head on the wall and my neck bent uncomfortably. We went to the doctors just to be sure and he ended up not doing a single test or anything. He said "if you aren't throwing up, if you didn't pass out and if your headaches can be managed with Tylenol it's ok." Then proceeded to tell me how I needed to be super careful because I'm pregnant, how they won't do a lot of tests like CT scan or X ray or give certain medicines to pregnant women. And that I should be more careful. Kind of frustrating because obviously I am being careful, I wasn't even doing anything risky, my chair just slipped while I was leaning back and I fell. Also a little frustrated he didn't even look at the back of my head/neck at all.

Team Boy/Girl/Surprise: Team Girl but SO is Team Boy
Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of: a raspberry
Upcoming appointments: I am waiting on my insurance to go through so this is TBD
How are you feeling: bloated, emotional, tired, excited.
Rants / Raves: I can’t seem to get enough lemon peel stuffed green olives. I’m afflicted.
Questions:
GTKY: Do you collect anything? The only thing I really collect is half empty water bottles on my side of the bed.
Estimated Due Date / Weeks + Days: 10/28, 7wk3d
FTM/STM/STM+: STM
Team Boy/Girl/Surprise: honestly I'm just looking forward to finding out so that I can figure out how to declutter all of our stuff from DS1 that's getting in the way lol.
Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of: blueberry maybe? Forgot to double check.
Upcoming appointments: 3/29, first appt, getting quite impatient
How are you feeling: Nausea and aversions are really kicking my butt right now. Everything tastes different and I struggle figuring out what to pack for lunch bc I'm not in the mood for anything.
Rants / Raves: We told my inlaws last weekend, which went well, but I'm already getting unsolicited advice and offers to help from my MIL. First, she sent me a message reminding me not to clean the litter box--no kidding. As a cat owner, that's the first thing I stopped doing bc nobody wants to do that lol. Then she offered to have my son sleep over her house on a weekday since my husband is on call that evening... ??? Nope. So I'm just going to try to ignore or decline for as long as I can, last time around she was excessive with her advice and I ended up having to say something. But I don't understand why the super obvious advice is necessary to give when this is my second time, it just feels condescending.
Questions: nope
GTKY: Do you collect anything? I like collecting things, but I'm trying not to collect as much since I've learned I don't like clutter. I like to save postcards and I collect National Park passport stamps, but these collections are still somewhat small.
I started reading the book, "The Fourth Trimester" which talks about foods to eat postpartum. I really want to gather some recipes to prep for that period!
Also @linh18 that sucks about the shitty care you received! It is so frustrating when medical professionals don't take things seriously. Hope your head is doing OK!
@mamahaley_2 "half empty water bottles" 😂 This is very relatable! Somehow they all end up in my car...
@lindz42 I had to set some pretty firm boundaries with my in-laws (and my Dad) during my first pregnancy. Sometimes I think I might have been too harsh but honestly, it has made my life so much easier! Being direct has it's benefits!!
Estimated Due Date / Weeks + Days: October 8th, 10.5 weeks

Team Boy/Girl/Surprise: Boy, husband wants a girl. I won't care in the end I just love my son and imagine myself as a boy mom
Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of: a brussel sprout
Upcoming appointments: 12 week check up on the 28th
How are you feeling: nausea disappeared which makes me anxious because I had a miscarriage 6 months ago and losing symptoms was the first sign. I am exhausted. Sore boobs. Noticeable slow digestion. Some scents are bothering me.
Rants / Raves: my family and closer friends have been wonderful. We told way too many people last time so we are refraining
Questions: is it normal for nausea to be so strong for around 4 weeks and then just disappear? I honestly can't remember how nauseous I was with my son. I know it wasn't horrible.
GTKY: Do you collect anything? Hot sauce! I do eat what I collect. Also....pokemon hahah 😆
Estimated Due Date / Weeks + Days: 9 weeks
FTM/STM/STM+: third time mom
Team Boy/Girl/Surprise: we’ll find out!
Interesting baby fact / Baby is the size of: 🍒 cherry
Upcoming appointments: ultrasound Friday! It was supposed to be yesterday but we got 20 inches of snow instead. My parents got like four FEET so I’m trying not to whine.
How are you feeling: exhausted. Sick. My MIL passed away on the 1st unexpectedly, so we had to fly across the country unexpectedly to plan the funeral and settle her affairs. I got home just in time to handle a ridiculous amount of snow. I need to sleep for a week.
Rants / Raves: the snow also broke part of my windshield because it was so effing heavy. So I need to sort that out tomorrow. 🥴
Questions:
GTKY: Do you collect anything? Baby carriers! I’m thinking I might get certified as a baby wearing instructor and open a lending library. I have like 40 carriers and love sharing the skill and my carriers.
