    @feli14, CONGRATULATIONS on the promotion! 🥳

    @sbaby2023, I'm a first time mom, but my husband and I are currently taking a 6 week in person course that is offered for free at the hospital we are planning on using. I think it is highly valuable! I'm sure you can get the same information with an online option, but the online version of the one we are taking looked like a really long one day crash course. I liked the idea of splitting it up, and the instructor who is an L&D nurse is very passionate about the topics! She often asks us about our unique expectations, concerns, and experiences related to the topics. For these reasons I would reccomend in person, but any way you get the information will likely be valuable!

    @maggiemadeit, baby names are the worst! 😂 I've never been more confused. My husband and I finally like one and it's growing on me! I want to keep gathering options, but I'm so exhausted looking at all of them and feeling absolutley nothing!

    @stress_engine everyone is different. With both my babies my husband was able to feel kicks at about the same time I was. It depends on the placenta and your body type I think!

    EDD / Weeks + Days: 6/18, 18 weeks

    FTM/STM/TTM+: third

    Baby is the size of a (an): sweet potato

    Team blue/pink/green: green

    Upcoming Appointments: anatomy scan on 1/31

    How are you feeling?: Had a weird day yesterday..my belly felt very uncomfortable/tight, my back hurt, had no energy. I opened up my pregnancy app today for the 18 week update, and it said that baby could be going through a growth spurt right now, so that probably explains it.

    Rants/Raves: Rant: I have insatiable hunger from the time I wake up until about 3-4 p.m. I try to eat filling, protein-packed foods.. doesn't matter. I have to eat every 1.5-2 hours. 

    Petty rant: I'm really over all the comments about us having a girl. Every single person we've told about the pregnancy has said they hope we have a girl. I think my immediate reaction is that I have to manage everyone's feelings about it if it's a boy. I know I really don't, but that's just my initial reaction.

    Rave: I found a secondhand Uppababy stroller with a bassinet for $350. 

    Questions: 

    GTKY: what’s a family activity you can’t wait to experience with your little one? I'm excited to see my boys be big brothers. Since they're older, they'll be able to appreciate a lot of the sweet babyhood things along with us.

    @stress_engine congrats on your girl.

    Hoping things go alright for your husband as well with his job and that he can be re-employed quickly.

    EDD / Weeks + Days: 16+6, June 27

    FTM/STM/TTM+: 4TM

    Baby is the size of a (an): avocado 

    Team blue/pink/green: pink!

    Upcoming Appointments: tomorrow for a check-up, anatomy scan in 3 weeks

    How are you feeling?: really good! My morning sickness is completely gone, and I have much more energy. I don’t have any aches and pains yet, so I’m trying to enjoy this stage while it lasts!

    Rants/Raves: Rant: we had freezing ice last night and we live on a hill. School is cancelled and I’m not sure if we’ll make it to my daughter’s dentist appt in an hour. Rave: I got some maternity clothes so I actually have a few things that fit. 

    Questions: 

    GTKY: what’s a family activity you can’t wait to experience with your little one? Even though it’s a few years out, I can’t wait to ski with all the kids.

    EDD / Weeks + Days: June 8 / 19 + 5

    FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

    Baby is the size of a (an): Mango

    Team blue/pink/green: Pink 

    Upcoming Appointments: Anatomy Scan tomorrow with midwife follow up on 1/26

    How are you feeling?: My back is definitely hurting and I'm having trouble sleeping, but other than that okay!

    Rants/Raves: Lots of rants this week and not so many raves (I think even my rave below is a secret rant)

    Rant: I've felt the baby move a couple times, but haven't really been feeling flutters and it's making me so anxious. I'm glad I have my anatomy scan tomorrow and a midwife appt next week. I know you generally feel them earlier with the second+, but I feel like I was already feeling flutters at this point in my last pregnancy. I have felt her some, but things that felt like bigger movements and when I was in a weird position in yoga. I'm hoping they start soon for my own peace of mind. 

    Rant: I'm over the cold weather. It's so much warmer here than what some of y'all are experiencing, but I do not like the cold and I'm over the below freezing temperatures. Also, snow is fun with a toddler, but in my opinion, SNOW DAYS (aka daycare is closed and I can't really go anywhere) not so much. 

    Rave: After a three day weekend + a daycare snow day closure + a toddler sick day with my husband being sick and out of commission for the last two of those days I am finally back at work. I don't think I've ever been so happy to sign on to work. I'm honestly not sure how stay at home moms do it (though being cooped up inside for three of those days was a big contributor to the exhaustion level). 

    Questions: 

    GTKY: what’s a family activity you can’t wait to experience with your little one? Really struggling with this one - I'm looking forward to beach days, but that feels so far away!

    @feli14 Congrats on the promotion!  New challenges are always so much fun!

    @littlemarshmallow Oof on the -40! That sounds rough. We are having lows in the teens and I am struggling with that, so I can't even imagine what that's like. 

    @sbaby2023 I took ALL the classes last time around (multiple birth classes, baby basics, baby safety, and breastfeeding). I honestly found them all helpful, though admittedly to different degrees, but in all of them there are things I remembered and put into practice at some point. It also just helped me feel calmer and more prepared, which is definitely important! Things were still all virtual last time from COVID for me last time, but I thought online was fine! 

    @kbru88 Sorry you are having RLP - it's the worst. Mine has eased up, though I still get it some. Hoping yours calms down soon!

    @maggiemadeit baby naming is SO hard. I always feel like we are never going to figure it out. And my neighbor said to me the other day - a name is the most precious gift you can give - sweet, but thanks for the pressure!

    @stress_engine I don't believe in TMI during pregnancy  ;) I'm really sorry to hear about your husband. That sounds rough to go through period, especially when you are pregnant. I hope he finds something new soon!

    @saltedcaramel518 The comments about gender are a lot... Hopefully they aren't banking on it being a girl, just trying to engage!
