Good besides the heartburn! DH and I took a long walk today and oof, it’s time to step up my exercise/movement
Raves/Rants: We’re heading to my in-laws’ this weekend for Easter, and we’ll get to meet our niece for the first time! She was born in November but between distance and schedules we all haven’t been able to get together before now.
Questions: Nope
GTKY: if you can do one thing in one day, unlimited funds and a babysitter, what would you do?
Definitely a private jet food tour of sorts. Breakfast in one city, lunch in another, fancy dinner in a third.
Baby is the size of a(n): pomegranate or large onion
Upcoming appointments: Anatomy Scan later this month.
How are you feeling? Ok. Wanna feel him kick so bad. In this strange in between, minimal/no symptoms and feeling almost normal.
Raves/Rants: Nah.
Questions: Nope.
GTKY: if you can do one thing in one day, unlimited funds and a babysitter, what would you do? Not much I can think to do in a day. I’d def want to take the day off with my hubby and relax somewhere and eat good.
Upcoming appointments: April 21 for routine appt and anatomy scan!!
How are you feeling? fabulous and hoping it stays this way! back to working out, enjoying food, the weather here is on an upswing. woohoo! i honestly forget i am pregnant during the day.
Raves/Rants: rant: super stressed re work, like eye twitching level stress. it'll all be fine, but ugh.
Questions: natm.
GTKY: if you can do one thing in one day, unlimited funds and a babysitter, what would you do? fly to London, bop around and eat at all of my favorite places.
@cammie0526 have you tried taking meds for heartburn? i did two weeks of lansoprazole and it was a big help @babysavvy hopefully you start feeling movement soon, with my first it was right about 20 weeks that i realized it... probably before then without realizing what it was. i've been feeling this baby since about 16.
How are you feeling? Better every day. I hope it stays this way!
Raves/Rants: we have had severe weather the last few days. A tornado went thru the town and just barely missed my house from the damage it caused. We got really lucky and luckily the damage it did cause in town could have been worse.
Questions: NATM
GTKY: if you can do one thing in one day, unlimited funds and a babysitter, what would you do? Go Pay off all of my debt so I could then live debt free from everything!
Upcoming appointments: anatomy scan 19+2 (can't wait to be done with that), follow up OB 2 weeks after that.
How are you feeling? way better from a nausea standpoint. but exhausted. and overwhelmed with the piles of work that need to get done. overall just haven't been in the best mood lately and not sure how to break out of it.
Raves/Rants: nothing important, i guess... do have to say I'm not excited to be on the vaginal progesterone for cervix of 3.1cm. its something i've delt with every pregnancy and i have so much anxiety about PTL (PTL at 23 weeks with my first).
GTKY: if you can do one thing in one day, unlimited funds and a babysitter, what would you do? I would buy houses in all of the cities that I could potentially ever travel to or live in, and airbnb them when I'm not there for income, so I could just quit my job and travel anytime.
Upcoming appointments: 4/18 anatomy scan 4/25 Reg OB
How are you feeling? Achy in my uterus and lower back. Headaches still come and go.
Raves/Rants: My 5 1/2 month old is starting to eat solids and sleeping more through the night. It’s exciting lol Also I’m starting to feel little flutters/movement the last couple of days which is also very exciting.
Questions:
GTKY: if you can do one thing in one day, unlimited funds and a babysitter, what would you do? Honestly, drop me off at the mall with my bestie. I’d love a new wardrobe, everything from clothes to shoes to sunglasses and clothes and “toys” for the kids. I’d just shop my a$$ off.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: I better figure it out fast 😅 ultrasound will be coming up, about 4 weeks. I think we'll do a party and let the kids get us with water guns to find out.
Baby is the size of a(n): 🥑 Avocado!
Upcoming appointments: yesterday, got to hunt for babys heartbeat. My babies always have been far back into my spine I swear so not surprised we had to surf around lol
How are you feeling? Rough. Heartburn is becoming acid reflux so we're trying a new med to help. Sore a lot and so so sooo tired constantly.
Raves/Rants: we have a crib 😂 I gotta start sorting clothes out lol
Questions: anyone else feeling kicks? I've been feeling movement since like week 10. Same as my youngest, I felt him really early on too.
GTKY: if you can do one thing in one day, unlimited funds and a babysitter, what would you do? Concert. All day fest or something. All the merch I could buy 😂 I miss all day fests. We used to go to one every year for my birthday.
@andrawrmeda2 I’m just now feeling wiggles - babies 2-4 I all felt earlier, so I was not enjoying the extra wait this time!

How are you feeling? Knock on wood…..I feel like my exhaustion is getting slightly better? I’m afraid to say that outloud.
Raves/Rants:
Questions:
GTKY: if you can do one thing in one day, unlimited funds and a babysitter, what would you do? You all are much more creative than me! I was going to say a spa day all alone sounds amazing…but I should probably throw in paying off my student loan debt. 🤣
Raves/Rants: my fingers are starting to swell a bit, so I took off my wedding rings since they got stuck last pregnancy. Thinking about getting silicone ones.
Questions: none
GTKY: if you can do one thing in one day, unlimited funds and a babysitter, what would you do? NYC shopping spree and eating at fancy restaurants.
Upcoming appointments: Had obgyn appointment yesterday, next one in May and US is planned in three weeks
How are you feeling? A bit better, we upgrade my nausea meds hoping for better results
Raves/Rants: I think I can feel the baby sometimes
Questions: Not at the moment
GTKY: if you can do one thing in one day, unlimited funds and a babysitter, what would you do? That's a hard one since a day is so short. I think I'd pay off my mortgage and student loan at the bank and then probably go shopping.
Upcoming appointments: in two+ weeks for whatever they have us do next
How are you feeling? Tired, still throwing up time-to-time, nauseous a lot, but mostly overworked
Raves/Rants: I'm worried I'm pushing myself too hard. I just can't step back from work because it's not like another teacher can teach my classes for me. Also having interviews constantly for a new job, but so far no luck.
Questions: Anyone experience dry skin? My hands and face are so dry this past week.
GTKY: if you can do one thing in one day, unlimited funds and a babysitter, what would you do? I was going to say sleep all day... but I liked what someone else said about paying loans. So I would pay for school loans, house loan, pay a grad student to grade my exams, then sleep all day.
