Re: Weekly Check-In 5/8
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: blue
Baby is the size of a(n): cantaloupe
Upcoming appointments: midwife on the 23rd of may
How are you feeling? Tired, heartburn and leg cramps.
Raves/Rants: like my rant on the may random feed, just tired of peoples comment on size. Kinda just wish I had a normal size bump. Though my boss just asked today if I planned on anymore kids so maybe they have clued in (I haven’t told them yet)
Questions: not at the moment
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team green
Baby is the size of a(n): Head of lettuce
Upcoming appointments: Glucose test tomorrow and last attempt at heart views w/ MFM on the 26th. I move to bi-weekly appts after my appt tomorrow.
How are you feeling? Still pretty well. I definitely only sleep with my body pillow now to help with hip pain, but I'm trying to stay religious with stretching and chiro appointments and it really helps.
Raves/Rants: Rave: I had my first shower yesterday. My mom and sister did such a good job and we got some cute things. Some of the older people apparently couldn't handle that I was team green, so they just decided a gender for me. Lots of pink, floral outfits and blankets lol. Rant: I don't know if it's just a developmental stage or if it's just my daughter working on her incisors, but oof, we are in an emotional breakdown stage out of nowhere. It started a few weeks ago. I'm pretty sure it is teeth b/c her two bottom ones came in and I can see knots on the top of her two incisors. Her dentist said they're more painful than molars and I believe it.

Baby is the size of a(n): cauliflower
Upcoming appointments: tomorrow is my first with my OB.
How are you feeling? still so dang queasy. I tried not taking Diclectin and it did not go well. And now the heartburn is kicking in so it’s like double whammy digestive issues. @estadt the leg cramps are brutal!
Raves/Rants: my sweet little toddler has become a hellion lately. I just incredibly opinionated and willing to yell about it. But in other good news the move into his big brother’s room went really well and they’ve finally settled into a routine!
Questions: natm

Baby is the size of a(n): lettuce
Upcoming appointments: later this month
How are you feeling? General aches and pains at this point. Slower to get up and down from sitting.
Raves/Rants: So, I passed my glucose screening, but to the extreme? Looks like I’m hypoglycemic and also still anemic despite an iron supplement on top of my PNV (RBC, hemoglobin, ferritin all low). Midwife has suggest an iron infusion.
Questions: Who on what discussion mentioned some other minerals that might cause low iron?
ETA: yes! In the April randoms. I remembered because the comment also included love is blind 😅.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Girl
Baby is the size of a(n): corn husk?
Upcoming appointments: 28 week w/ glucose test on 6/6
How are you feeling? Huge, sweaty, and tired.
Raves/Rants: Rant - work has been super stressful lately due to some changes in our clinic, so that has me a little more tired than usual. Rave - my daughter turns 2 next week and I took the day off to hang with her, so I'm looking forward to that!
Questions: None

Baby is the size of a(n): eggplant 🍆🤣😅
Upcoming appointments: not for another month
How are you feeling? Like everyone heartburn is so bad everyday and these night leg cramps are terrible. I went for a walk and it’s all hills and I came back home in so much pain in my calves it’s still three days later and I feel it. I’ve been staying hydrated with electrolyte packets but still feel like it’s not enough
Raves/Rants: my SO and I decided we wanted to do the maternity photos. It’s crazy how much they are in ny (I’m talking about $700-1100 for a 90 min sesh). We asked my cousins husband who used to do wedding photography to take photos so we was happy to do it. We tried to give him $$ but he said it’s his gift to us. Here’s just a sample of what he took:
Also, loving all these early baby shower gifts but haven’t gone through them so my little 800 sq ft apt is looking mighty cluttered lol
Questions: FTM question when do parents start looking for a pediatrician? Is this something our ob will suggest? Or something I have to look for on my own?

Baby is the size of a(n): kale? Idk all kale I’ve seen is pretty small so that doesn’t sound accurate
Upcoming appointments: glucose test on the 26th
How are you feeling? I feel like I’m just on airplane mode. so much has been happening in life lately and my brain just feels dead😅 not a thought in my brain which is also why I’ve just kinda been lurking so much lately lol
Raves/Rants: it’s finally been nice out, summer is near! It’s making me so ready for baby to come!
Questions:
@justyouraveragemama I feel you on the airplane mode/lurking

Baby is the size of a(n): lettuce
Upcoming appointments: OB on Monday.
How are you feeling? Not bad! Actually I’d go so far as to say good. I think I might be starting to get sick though, woke up with the slightest sore throat. Could also be from all the painting and sanding. The heartburn whenever I eat or drink anything is getting old but Tums work wonders.
Raves/Rants: rave- I finally painted the nursery! Yay! And I found the cutest mobile from petite pehr on marketplace for $40 (they retail for $120). It has baby chicks which I guess has unofficially become our nursery theme? I thought it was a little on the nose with a farmhouse but my husband loves it. The first thing he bought for the baby before we were even pregnant was a onesie with chicks on it.
Questions: none
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team Pink
Baby is the size of a(n): Lettuce
Upcoming appointments: glucose test on the 22nd
How are you feeling? Overall, pretty good. Got some pain/sore spots but they haven't been too bad. A bit overwhelmed with all the decisions and things I'll need to take care of soon
Raves/Rants: Don't really have a rave or rant
Questions: natm
GTKY: are you having any cravings? Nope. I haven't had any cravings yet. Or at least not things that I would consider cravings. *shrugs*
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Blue
Baby is the size of a(n): big enough 🤷🏻♀️😂
Upcoming appointments: June 2nd, need to get my glucose test before that though
How are you feeling? Tired this week. Headaches on and off I think because of stress and sleeping weird. My neck and shoulders have been sore the past few days. I feel huge but keep thinking I still have a ways to go! I can’t be huge yet…right?! Lol
Raves/Rants: I would say this week has gone better than the last few. I’ve been liking the warmer weather and I was able to get outside to garden earlier in the week!
Questions: none
