    EDD / Weeks + Days: June 14 / 14+3 

    FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM

    Baby is the size of a (an): peach

    Team blue/pink/green: TBC

    Upcoming Appointments: OBGYN and MFM appts in January

    How are you feeling?: Pretty good! Definitely hitting that second trimester sweet spot and enjoying it while it lasts. 

    Rants/Raves: I am huge! This third baby bump is really popping this week and after all that hiding I feel so conspicuous, like everyone I see can obviously tell now. 

    Questions: NATM

    GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? People without manners! People used to make fun of me because I drilled manners into my kids, even before they could really understand what it meant. But now no one is making fun of my 7 and 4 year old who ALWAYS say please and thank you!

    EDD / Weeks + Days: June 8 / 15+2

    FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

    Baby is the size of a (an):Orange (also in my 80's and 90's nostalgia one a Cootie Catcher/Paper Fortune Teller, which made me laugh)

    Team blue/pink/green: Pink!

    Upcoming Appointments: December 29

    How are you feeling?: Much better. Unfortunately I had COVID last week and I really do think it hits you harder when pregnant (I had it last time I was pregnant too). So glad to be almost better from that and past the first trimester exhaustion/nausea

    Rants/Raves: Rave - We are going to NYC this weekend. I'm so excited to see it at Christmas time! Rant - Because I had COVID my daughter was home from daycare on Friday and we couldn't really leave the house this weekend (or I couldn't - my husband took her out at some point) and my house is just a disaster now. There's an Instagram reel that is like "You can absolutely have a clean house if you just clean 24/7 and do nothing else but cleaning" and man am I feeling that right now.

    Questions: None right now

    GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? When someone starts to tell me something and then says "Nevermind" (or something similar) - I'm too curious for my own good and it drives me insane. I just can't NOT know.

    @maggiemadeit I'm with you on feeling huge! I told a coworker I was pregnant last week and she was like "I thought you were" (because of my bump) - definitely past the hiding it phase!

    @littlemarshmallow yay for feeling baby kick! I'm so ready for that - with the first trimester crumminess gone, I'm needing reassurance that this baby is doing well!

    @kbru88 Really hoping you start feeling better soon!

    EDD / Weeks + Days: 6/29, 12w2d

    FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM

    Baby is the size of a (an): Plum, 2.1 inched, as tall as a Rubik's cube

    Team blue/pink/green: Team Blue for the third time! :D Officially a boymom. We got our NIPT results back in 4 days: blood draw Thursday, got the message Monday morning and waited to open it until we were all home to find out together.

    Upcoming Appointments: 16 wk appt 1/16

    How are you feeling?: Wonderful. I have my energy back, I have zero nausea. 

    Rant: nothing sounds good to eat except deep fried foods and sweets. My appetite is all but gone. I wish I had worked a little harder to get back to normal after baby 2, because I'm not enjoying my bump being hidden behind my "fluff". I'm for sure looking 20w already, but it's not just that firm baby bump. It's a lil squishy like I just had the second baby or something. I made the bed, now I lay in it. 
    Rave: I am so excited to meet this little man! are we at 39w yet?

    Questions: not this week

    GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? When people speak down to me or tell me what to do. I hate my inclination to only do something until told to do it. It is so humbling to work through the resistance.

    @littlemarshmallow congrats on the kick! <3 It is so thrilling to feel the connection in the beginning!

    @maple1422 Congratulations on boy #3! Being talked down to is SO ANNOYING. I feel like it happens a lot to women, in all sorts of different contexts, and I always want to scream “I have a vagina AND a brain!”

    EDD / Weeks + Days: 14 + 6  June 12th

    FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

    Baby is the size of a (an): Donut

    Team blue/pink/green: Blue!

    Upcoming Appointments: 1/2/24 for checkup and 1/17/24 for anatomy scan!

    How are you feeling?: getting over a uti so starting to do better, still having some nausea in the mornings

    Rants/Raves: I actually have a small bump now! It probably just looks like I ate a really big meal to others, but I have somewhat narrow hips so I think I'm just starting to show a little early. The good news is that I haven't gained too much weight still, I was a little worried for a minute 

    Questions: none right now!

    GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? I have misophonia, so loud chewing and certain noises send me into a blind rage, which has been worse lately, lol

    DD / Weeks + Days: 6/18, 14 weeks.. hello second tri!

    FTM/STM/TTM+: third

    Baby is the size of a (an): troll doll

    Team blue/pink/green: green

    Upcoming Appointments: monthly appt on 1/3

    How are you feeling?: overall pretty good. Still get bouts of tiredness, and I get nauseous after dinner every night, but I'm feeling much better than a few weeks ago.

    Rants/Raves: My NIPT results are in, and baby is low risk for everything.

    Questions: I don't want to know the gender, so my doctor's office emailed me to say my results showed low risk. If I login to the Natera website to see the results, will it show the gender? I just want to look at the test, but I don't want to spoil the surprise.

    @saltedcaramel518 I didn't do mine through Natera, but my results definitely show the gender, so I wouldn't risk it :( Maybe your doctor can send you a copy with the gender cut off?

    Thanks ladies!

    @saltedcaramel518
    mine showed the sex right at the top. @curlyandpreggo had a good suggestion to see if they can send a copy specifically without it.

    Baby is the size of a (an): peach 🍑

    Team blue/pink/green: blue 💙

    Upcoming Appointments: ultrasound tomorrow 

    How are you feeling?: leaps and bounds better. Although I do think I’m starting to see a little bump (previously I think it was just bloating but this one doesn’t seem to be going away). It’s super weird to look down and see 

    Rants/Raves: I am so ready for the holiday and to have a break from work! I am
    also really excited because my Dr is starting to wean me off medicine now that I am done with the first trimester. Hoping to be off almost all of it in the next few weeks!

    Questions: NATM

    GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? Mine is also waiting for people like @littlemarshmallow. It drives me absolutely crazy when people are late and don’t say anything

    Having a cold while pregnant is so miserable  :s I pee every time I cough or sneeze, even if I just peed 5 minutes before. I just want some NyQuil.

    FTM/STM/TTM+: 4TM

    Baby is the size of a (an): 🍑 

    Team blue/pink/green: PINK 

    Upcoming Appointments: JAN 6–first w midwife for home birth ! 

    How are you feeling?: extremely exhausted and sometimes incompetent, and overwhelmed with all the holiday chaos 

    Rants/Raves: feeling grateful this time of year, I’m working hard to convert that fear of the unknown of having 4 into gratitude. 

    Questions: I got my genetic testing results back and tested negative for all 274 disorders which I’m so incredibly grateful for— does this mean my husband still needs to submit his? I know the answer is he SHOULD of course and we will but wondering if anyone’s been down this road before and knows something I don’t. I know in most cases both mom and dad need to be positive to pass something right? 

    GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? People that chew loud and inconsiderately. And I notice it more when I’m stuck at the table across from them for the holidays. 🤢

    @jevd42 I think it only tests for things that would be recessive (that he would be the carrier for - I believe it's called a carrier screening). Assuming that is correct (you should double check), he would not need to test for it because your child would only have one of the genetic disorders if BOTH of you have it. My husband and I each tested positive for a few things (but different things) and the doctors only cared that he was not positive for the things I was positive for. I hope that makes sense and helps!

    @saltedcaramel518 I so feel you on this - I had COVID last week and it convinced me to go to pelvic floor PT in hopes of helping!

    Upcoming Appointments: mid January for my 16 week check-up

    How are you feeling?: much better finally. Still some dry heaving and food aversions, but way less nausea and fatigue. 

    Rants/Raves: Rave—12 week US went well on Friday; all my Christmas shopping is done; We started to tell people about the pregnancy so that’s a relief 

    Questions: I need car seat and stroller recommendations. I think there’s some threads already on this so I’ll also check those out.
