    How are you feeling?: exhausted! And cranky. But I don’t think it’s pregnancy related.

    Baby is the size of a (an): pomegranate

    Team blue/pink/green: pink

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

    How are you feeling?: Very tired this week. And I'm starting to feel so heavy! Which is weird because I don't feel very big yet. But I started having some pelvic pain and maybe a little lower back pain a few days ago. I started wearing a belly band yesterday, which I really don't think I need yet, but I'm hoping maybe the extra support will relieve some of the pain.

    Rants/Raves: I'm at the cusp of not being able to fit into my normal pants/shorts now. Most things still fit, but they pinch in around my belly and make me look strange lol. But I want to wear them for as long as possible, since it still feels a little early to switch to maternity clothing. I've also been having trouble finding good maternity activewear - I absolutely need my shorts to have pockets, and it's like no brands want to bother with pockets :/

    Questions: Is anatomy scan at 21wks too late? I tried to have mine scheduled at 20wks but they're all booked up, so the earliest I could do is when I'll be 21w2d. I'm worried baby might be too big and will be too hard to see?

    GTKY: Favorite ice cream flavor? Generally anything with chocolate, although plain chocolate ice cream itself is a little boring. So chocolate chunk, mint chip, java chip, cookies and cream... I can't decide! lol

    @lizzzzy217 it’s called The Kitchen God’s Wife by Amy Tan. It hooked me right from the start! I really like her writing style and the plot is fascinating so far.

    Baby is the size of a (an): Guinea pig 

    Team blue/pink/green: we’ll find out soon

    Upcoming Appointments: anatomy scan on May 27

    How are you feeling?: tired but good, back in the gym a couple times a week which is nice. I’m battling some leg neuropathy (worse since pregnancy but not new) so I’ll be starting with a chiropractor soon.

    Rants/Raves: it’s nice to have some energy back. It’s hard to trust that everything is ok, and baby is growing well without seeing. 

    Questions: none

    GTKY: Favorite ice cream flavor? Been craving a strawberry sundae

    Baby is the size of a (an): avocado

    Team blue/pink/green: blue

    Upcoming Appointments: 20 week appointment June 4

    How are you feeling?: not so horrible! I had really terrible nausea the first trimester that I was hoping would be completely gone by now, but I’ll take improvement over nothing

    Rants/Raves: we have been having some beautiful weather lately, been enjoying taking a nice walk outside

    Questions: anyone else deal with nausea into the second trimester? My ultrasound tech said my placenta was placed anteriorly, anyone else have that and if yes, when did you start to feel movement?

    My nausea really lessened in the second trimester, but was definitely still there until around week 16....hopefully your relief is coming soon!

    Team blue/pink/green: Green-ish

    Upcoming Appointments: Anatomy scan on 5/24

    How are you feeling?: Tired--between bathroom breaks, leg cramps, and not being able to turn off my brain, I have not been sleeping well at all...Also, my emotions are EXTREMELY sensitive

    Rants/Raves: Rant: unsure, Rave: My husband has been amazingly flexible, kind, and patient with me while I struggle with crying over everything and also while I am tossing and turning all night trying to get comfortable.

    Questions: At my last OB appt, they had me schedule all the rest of my office appts, but no appts in the ultrasound clinic....do I not get anymore ultrasounds after the anatomy scan?

    GTKY: Favorite ice cream flavor? Jeni's Almond Brittle OR there is an ice cream place a few towns away that has a different Dole Whip flavor every week!

    Upcoming Appointments: Anatomy exam 5/31

    How are you feeling?: Feeling like myself beside the belly getting bigger! Trying to get more exercise in now that I have the energy. Anyone else have dry nipples?

    Rants/Raves: Rant - sleep is getting a little trickier, feel like it’s harder getting comfortable. Rave - Saw baby girl yesterday and finally hear her heartbeat. She was upside down with her bum in the air and getting to see her again made it feel a little more real.

    Baby is the size of a (an): mango 🥭 

    Team blue/pink/green: pink and finally decided on her name 

    Upcoming Appointments: 4/17 anatomy scan

    How are you feeling?: I am running out of real estate (as my friend called it) so I am starting to have a little trouble breathing and I think the sensation I’m feeling is heartburn. Also started having round ligament pain everytime I sneeze or roll over in bed. I do have lots of energy now so I’ve finally been able to walk / workout every day again! 

    Raves: my husband loves to cook/bake and he’s very good at it so whatever I’m craving in the moment, he will make for me right away! Yesterday around 7pm I said I wanted chocolate cake and by 10pm I had a mini all homemade from scratch chocolate cake with a strawberry cream center. 

    Rant: I need a dress for an event so I spent 2.5 hours at the mall today, tried on so many things and nothing fit! I think I’m going to order some from Pink Blush maternity. 

    Questions: reliable online stores for maternity dresses? 

    GTKY: Favorite ice cream flavor? 
    Ice cream is my favorite dessert so it depends on my mood, but probably any fruit flavored ice creams. I also looveee Salt&Straws monthly rotating flavors.

    @blueberrylemonade12 - I've read the Joy Luck Club by the same author, but I'm not familiar with any of her other books. Maybe I'll recommend that one to my book club. :) 

    @aa2024 - I've ordered a few things from Pink Blush, but none of their dressier stuff. So far everything's been decent quality, a step up from fast fashion stuff for sure. I have noticed that they are almost always running a sale too, so never buy anything full price from them. Wait for a sitewide sale, you won't have to wait very long lol.

    @lizzzy217 my anatomy scan is at 21 weeks 4 days, so also late, but it’s fine. There’s a window that is all ok to have the “20 week” scan. It’ll be great! 🤗

    Baby is the size of a (an): artichoke

    Team blue/pink/green: girl! 

    Upcoming Appointments: 5/30 anatomy scan

    How are you feeling?: great!!! Feeling pregnant in a good way! Starting to show a little, have more energy to clean, work out, see friends, etc., and feel much better emotionally this week! 🥰

    Rants/Raves: rave: my pup snuggled her head in my belly for a good long snug yesterday! 😍🥰 it melted my heart!! I’ve been a little worried about her reactivity around the baby, but she’s also had puppies, so I think she will be a great big sister. 🤞

    Questions: none

    GTKY: Favorite ice cream flavor? I love fruity ice creams and sorbets, mint chip, coffee, caramel or peanut butter swirls, a good vanilla…so many!! 🍦

    Baby is the size of a (an): disposable camera

    Team blue/pink/green: blue

    Upcoming Appointments: 5/14 anatomy scan

    How are you feeling?: pretty good. Some round ligament pain when crawling into/out of bed. The acid reflux when I lie down at night had begun, though. I had it BAD with my first, so was prepared with Tums on hand this time.

    Rants/Raves: just a little rave on the hubs. He booked me a hair appointment as a Mother's Day gift for this coming Wednesday for a wash, cut, color, and style. I'll trim my own hair, but haven't been to a salon in 5+ years. I'm excited!

    Questions: since books have been mentioned, any other book recommendations? Old or new is fine, I'm planning a trip to our used book store soon to stock up on new-to-me stuff to read. 

    GTKY: Favorite ice cream flavor? Butter Pecan is my craving at the moment, but like @aa2024, ice cream is my favorite sweet treat, so I'm not super picky, lol.
