    FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

    Baby is the size of a (an): orange

    Team blue/pink/green: blue

    Upcoming Appointments: May 15 for prenatal appointment and May 29 for anatomy scan

    How are you feeling?: good! My job ended last Friday so this week I started “funemployment”. It’ll be fun for a little while until I start to get stressed… I feel good overall but still dealing with exhaustion. I feel like no amount of naps can cure my tiredness but at least I can take naps right now so I’m grateful 

    Rants/Raves: Rave - in the process of completely redoing my side yard. Planting new plants, putting in an herb garden, setting up a play area for my daughter. It’s so fun and I can’t wait to be done at the end of the week so that we can spend more time out there before it’s super hot

    Questions: for the STM+ mamas, any thoughts on not having a nursery for the 2nd baby? It would mean giving up our guest room and that doesn’t seem smart at this time. I feel so guilty about it because we put together a beautiful nursery for our daughter. But thinking about room sharing with the baby until at least 6 months and then possibly having the baby share a room with my daughter or at that point fixing up the guest room.

    GTKY: did you go to prom? If so what did your dress look like? I did but I almost didn’t! My date got expelled at the last minute and I had to go with a sophomore I didn’t know 🥴 I wore a pinkish shimmery strapless dress. It wasn’t terrible but not what I’d pick if I went today haha

    Baby is the size of a (an): avocado

    Team blue/pink/green: pink

    Upcoming Appointments: 5/16 for OB appt; 6/4 for anatomy scan

    How are you feeling?: Good! I felt really heavy and had some back pain earlier this week, but it only lasted a day and then went away. I'm definitely finally showing now, it's not just bloat, but it's still a very small bump! Easily hideable under clothes although since most people know now I don't mind showing it off now. Most of my regular clothes still fit but waistbands are definitely tighter now. And I'm like 99% sure I'm feeling some movement now.

    Rants/Raves: None today! Feeling great, getting lots of chores and things done, eating well, getting lots of exercise! Definitely in the honeymoon phase :D

    Questions: Someone zombie'd an old thread on here from 2015 where ppl were criticizing throwing your own baby shower, apparently it's tacky and gift-grabby? Is this still controversial now? I was definitely planning to throw my own baby shower and it's definitely gonna be coed... I don't think anyone I know would find this tacky but honestly this was an insecurity I didn't have until I read that old thread :|

    GTKY: did you go to prom? If so what did your dress look like? I did not go! I was "too cool" for prom in high school :D

    Baby is the size of a (an): croissant

    Team blue/pink/green: haven’t found out yet

    Upcoming Appointments: May 27, 20 week check up and anatomy scan

    How are you feeling?: pretty good, feeling the sprout moving. I sleep through the night usually (thank goodness) but I don’t feel super rested when I wake up, maybe dreaming without remembering. Constipation is a little annoying but I’m trying a magnesium supplement that seems to help.

    Rants/Raves: today is my and hubby’s 10 year wedding anniversary. So I’ve been reflecting back to our wedding day and how it was exactly what we wanted with who we wanted (Vegas with our immediate families). I’m so excited that we finally get the chance to expand our family and baby is healthy so far!

    Questions: anybody else feeling baby? 

    Somebody asked about throwing your own baby shower, i don't think it’s tacky. You’ll be able to control so many aspects of it so that may be a benefit. If I wanted one, I would plan it myself.

    GTKY: did you go to prom? If so what did your dress look like? Yes, graduated forever ago so I had a corset top dress that was poofy, with layered lime green and aqua tulle. I loved it 😊

    Baby is the size of a (an): pomegranate

    Team blue/pink/green: girl

    Upcoming Appointments: May 8

    How are you feeling?: Great! A little irritable sometimes (a lot going on), but overall good and glad to have energy!

    Rants/Raves: Rave: so grateful for my sister who is already collecting and storing baby items from buynothing for me! 💗 She’s the best!!

    Questions: none

    GTKY: did you go to prom? If so what did your dress look like? We had a jr and sr prom. Junior prom dress was black/silver and senior ball was a sexy red asymmetrical dress. Loved them both and got to wear them a couple times to other events too 😂 my mom even wore the junior prom dress to a NYE party!

    Baby is the size of a (an): artichoke 

    Team blue/pink/green: pink 

    Upcoming Appointments: 5/17 anatomy scan 

    How are you feeling?: I finally started getting my energy back to the point I forget I’m pregnant sometimes. I’m pretty hungry all the time but eating now feels like a chore and I’m having some food aversions. 

    Rants/Raves: My FIL came to visit for a few days and it was so much fun getting to spend time with him and show him around San Francisco. But he just left and I woke up feeling like I have a cold coming on which is so unfortunate. I didn’t go anywhere crowded so maybe my body just wasn’t used to doing so many things back to back. 

    Questions: none

    I decided to go last minute which meant I bought a random last minute dress. It wasn’t anything near what I wanted but I didn’t want anything expensive so I bought a random light green lace dress from Windsor

    Baby is the size of a (an): taco! 🌮 

    Team blue/pink/green: green

    Upcoming Appointments: Anatomy scan on 6/3

    How are you feeling?: overall so much better than the first trimester. It’s hard to believe that I’m already 4 months in; it feels like this pregnancy is just flying by. 

    Rants/Raves: rant: I have a nasty back spasm from overdoing it - lifting weights, closing skylights, cleaning and pushing a stroller all combined to make a mess out of my back. I’m finding that arnica cream really helps though. Rave: a friend taught me how to make a sewing pattern from a beloved dress and I’m so excited to try making it!!!

    Questions: none 😊

    GTKY: did you go to prom? If so what did your dress look like? No, my school was super small and we didn’t have a prom. I did go to some formals in college and loved getting to dress up.

    EDD / Weeks + Days: 10/30 - had the screening ultrasound and my EDD was adjusted back to October 🙌🏽. 14w4

    FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

    Baby is the size of a (an): as tall as a mug

    Team blue/pink/green: bloodwork says XX, will confirm with US soon 

    Upcoming Appointments: 5/20 prenatal visit 

    How are you feeling?: I think I’m starting to turn the corner with the nausea. Just in time for my work schedule to get busy. Super excited for the idea I might be having a little girl. My first one is a boy. It would explain the all day morning sickness? 

    Rants/Raves: I was able to get in 3 workouts this past week. And I found my 8lbs dumbbells to start working out my arms!. I feel they’re the first body part to get fluffy/flabby when I gain weight. In anticipation of maternity pics, I want strong looking arms! No rants this week. I’m grateful that I’m starting to feel functional again. Oh! Another rave. I felt baby move this week. Which was crazy because I didn’t feel movement with my first until 22-24 weeks

    Questions: has anyone had experience with bloodwork saying one sex and baby ends up being the opposite? I want to be excited about the XX but I have trust issues 😅🥲

    GTKY: did you go to prom? If so what did your dress look like? I did not go to prom.

    Baby is the size of a (an): an artichoke

    Team blue/pink/green: baby girl

    Upcoming Appointments: May 15th

    How are you feeling?: I don't know if I just hadn't noticed until this week, but I feel quite good. Shorter of breath when I'm active, and I get tired if I've had an active day...but sometimes, for a moment here and there, I'll forget I'm pregnant! I think that's mostly because it still feels a little surreal

    Rants/Raves: Brief rant - my mom said I had a big belly for 4 months. I reminded her that she was almost six feet tall when she was pregnant... Rave - I'm really glad symptoms have evened out and I'm loving being pregnant. I've started trying to dance more around the house and sing even louder :)

    Questions: none? LOL

    GTKY: did you go to prom? If so what did your dress look like? I did! Years and years ago though...it was at Sea World, which I think is more interesting than the dress...the dress was a shimmery purple with magenta flowers, had a slight train with a low back - and is so outdated today...but I do think it's still hanging up in a spare closet at my parents...
