EDD / Weeks + Days: 3/9 12w, 2d

FTM/STM/TTM+: 4thTM

Baby is the size of a (an): plum

Team blue/pink/green: green for now, but we will know soon. I wanted to wait, but my family out voted me!

Upcoming Appointments: next month

How are you feeling?: I am finally feeling like a pregnant version of myself. I still have waves of nausea and some foods are a no go, but I can eat again! I am still tired, but nothing like a few weeks ago where I could hardly keep my eyes open. I even worked cows this weekend and have managed to do my dishes all week! Now to try and catch up from the last three months!

Rants/Raves: I am physically feeling better, but I am also emotionally feeling more settled. I still worry of course, but I am starting to allow myself to feel excited. It helps a lot that the kids and my family know now. I've been so impressed with my amazing family. Even the kids have been extending me a lot of grace.

Questions: When is it time to talk about names?! Baby names are my favorite!

GTKY: What foods/drinks that you can't eat right now are you missing the most. Now that food tastes good again, I am missing a nice glass of wine to go with it! Probably a UO, but I am not very diligent about off limits foods and I still pretty much eat whatever I want.

@farm_mama I've been waiting for it to be time for a names post! Doooo itttt! I love talking names 😍

hedgepig · August 2023

EDD / Weeks + Days: 12 weeks 3 days

FTM/STM/TTM+: 3 & 4TM

Baby is the size of a (an): Lime/Plum

Team blue/pink/green: 💙💙

Upcoming Appointments: Nothing for a few weeks.

How are you feeling?: Better, but not excellent. I still get pretty funky feeling in the late afternoon and evening, but my mornings I feel pretty much normal.

Rants/Raves: I had my first MW appt on Friday, and since they can't tell thw difference between the two babies with the doppler, they did a quick ultrasound and I got to see 2 wiggly jellybeans. It's amazing how much they've grown and developed in just 3 weeks!

GTKY: What foods/drinks that you can't eat right now are you missing the most? In my precious pregnancies I really missed beer, but I couldn't care less this time - it just sounds gross.

EDD / Weeks + Days: 10 weeks

FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

Baby is the size of a (an): kumquat

Team blue/pink/green: green for now

Upcoming Appointments: nuchal test in 2 weeks

How are you feeling?: Overall, much better! The nausea and food aversions aren't so bad anymore. I did start lightly spotting and cramping last night which was scary as a FTM but went to the Dr today and everything is looking good. Hopefully it goes away soon! I was finally feeling well enough to get back to the gym, and now this 😑

Rants/Raves: Rave for seeing the baby on ultrasound today- they've developed so much since my last scan a week ago.

Questions:

GTKY: What foods/drinks that you can't eat right now are you missing the most? Coffee! The second I got pregnant, coffee sounded absolutely disgusting and I looooove coffee. And eggs- I could eat eggs for every meal before and now it makes me gag just thinking about them. Pregnancy is so weird!

Team blue/pink/green: green

Upcoming Appointments: Friday!

How are you feeling?: still nauseous, especially at night.

Rants/Raves: back at work this week and pants are hard.

GTKY: What foods/drinks that you can't eat right now are you missing the most? A blue moon with an orange slice sounds amazing right now. Though it may be because I’m craving citrus….

FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM

Baby is the size of a (an): Kit Kat bar

Team blue/pink/green: pink💗

Upcoming Appointments: had one today everything looked good, finally heard the heartbeat. Next appt isn’t for 4 weeks

How are you feeling?: good, still hit a wall
around 1230/1 and need a little break to reenergize though

Rants/Raves: rant for the hurricane shutting down the airport 2 days in advance so my parents flight got canceled. They should have gotten in Tuesday morning👎🏻 but also I’m glad it passed their area without any damage. Last year they lost half their fence and sustained roof damage.

Questions: not at the moment

GTKY: What foods/drinks that you can't eat right now are you missing the most? A glass of wine would be so nice! I’ve never been a stickler about no-no foods during pregnancy but now I find myself not taking any chances.

jamzsquared · August 2023

EDD / Weeks + Days: 11W

FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

Baby is the size of a (an): Lime!

Team blue/pink/green: Team Blue, but we should have blood test results in another week or so!

Upcoming Appointments: NT screening scheduled for 9/8

How are you feeling?: Last weekend I thought my nausea had improved but no, I am still so yuck feeling. I realized the other night that everything tastes off, which is one reason why it’s been hard to find things to eat (and I have never been known as a picky eater). Also I’m still exhausted. Trying to adjust to giving myself the rest I need is really tough.

Rants/Raves: I’m really grateful for my OB and her team. They’ve been super responsive whenever I have questions or concerns.

Questions:

GTKY: What foods/drinks that you can't eat right now are you missing the most? Honestly, I am really missing martinis right now! It’s been super hot and a nice chilled gin martini would be so nice. 😭 Also I haven’t been able to drink tea because (again) everything tastes weird. Really looking forward to these symptoms passing (fingers crossed).

EDD / Weeks + Days: 3/5, 13+2

FTM/STM/TTM+: 5TM

Baby is the size of a (an): lemon

Team blue/pink/green: will find out at AS

Upcoming Appointments: just had one Tuesday, next one is end of Sept.

How are you feeling?: Pretty good, still getting nauseous in the evening if I forget to have lunch (which is my MO, I really need to be better about it) but definitely feel like I turned a corner.

Rants/Raves: Rave is we're starting to tell people, and it's so fun. The kids reactions were great, they're all excited (except DD who is 2 and doesn't understand it) and DS3 told me he needs another brother.
Rant is carpool, I somehow became the one in charge of our community carpool, it's 8 families, and 15 kids going to 2 schools that have 3 different schedules depending on grades, and it's so annoying and frustrating.

Questions: NATM

GTKY: What foods/drinks that you can't eat right now are you missing the most? Like others I'm not super strict on avoiding things, I'll even have the occasional glass of wine, but I do miss girly liqueurs. There's a friend at my synagogue who hands me a shot of Godiva liqueur every Saturday after services, and I've been needing to be sneaky about disposing of it. Will finally get to tell him this week to stop pouring it.

@farm_mama baby names are an interesting subject for me. We ended up changing DS1's name the day he was born (long story) so DH now refuses to discuss names with my until very close to my due date. So I've taking to picking out names myself

so far it's been working, and he's approved all my choices, so I already have a girl name and a boy name ready to go this time

Baby is the size of a (an): kumquat/small strawberry

Team blue/pink/green: don't know yet, gut feeling says girl

Upcoming Appointments: first one with midwife in a couple weeks

How are you feeling?: Still not perfect, but improving. I think another week or 2 will see most of the nausea gone.

Rants/Raves: rant on clothes, really need to go shopping. Everything is tight which makes my stomach feel yucky. 😜 Unfortunately maternity clothes from last time don't fit.

Questions: any advice for airplane travel during pregnancy? Going on a work trip with my husband to Europe. I'll be 12 weeks, so I'm hopeful it will be a good time! It's a 9 hour flight. I plan on getting up to move and compression socks are in my Amazon cart. Any other tips would be great!

GTKY: What foods/drinks that you can't eat right now are you missing the most? I don't cut out anything but alcohol. I just miss enjoying food in general. Everything still is kind of meh. 😜

How are you feeling?: Meh, I think I am feeling better this week than last, I have waves nausea still and am still pretty exhausted, but I am feeling a bit better

Rants/Raves: I ate a salad, which I haven't been able to in weeks because of aversions. So that was exciting, but it was only one salad, lol.

Questions:none atm

GTKY: What foods/drinks that you can't eat right now are you missing the most?
I do miss margaritas! If I had more of an appetite I would also miss sushi, and a basic turkey sandwich.

Baby is the size of a (an): I very much have not been following this lol

Team blue/pink/green: Green for now!

Upcoming Appointments: NIPT blood test Wednesday

How are you feeling?: Ok, very tired and some cravings/aversions but the most annoying thing has been having a cold all week.

Rants/Raves: 10 points to my husband for doing the lion's share of parenting while I have a cold + pregnancy exhaustion

Questions: None

GTKY: What foods/drinks that you can't eat right now are you missing the most? It's restaurant week in my city and I'd love to go to a swanky restaurant with like a raw appetizer but between pregnancy and a busy schedule it's a no unfortunately.
