How are you feeling?: Well I just threw up...and almost didn't make it to the bathroom. I was my fault though. I took my vitamins and then someone walked into my office so I wasn't able to eat my breakfast. Last Monday and Tuesday I woke up at around 1:30am feeling like I was going to throw up. Monday I woke up a 2nd time and ended up making myself throw up so I could get some sleep. This happened with my first but I feel like it was in my third trimester. It hasn't happened since so I'm just hoping it was a one off thing for now. Also, just tired a lot still and the heat is not helping
GTKY: Which of your personality traits are you most proud of? Easygoing. I know things don't always go as planned so it is easy for me to just go with the flow and not let those things bother me. For me, getting upset and worrying about things is so draining. I know some who thrive on it and it just baffles me. Don't get me wrong, I still worry about things but I think it is easier for me to push those worries out of my mind (at least for a little bit).
So I didn't know how to answer this question, so I asked my husband and he says that he's most proud of my ability to love, my ability to hold a grudge, and the fact that I wear my heart on my sleeve and that it makes me very caring.

How are you feeling?: Pretty darn good except for a bit a nausea coming back! It’s fleeting so not terrible but yesterday I couldn’t believe it! Nausea? Again? I’m reading my other 17 week moms are also having the same! So interesting!
GTKY: Which of your personality traits are you most proud of? Hmmmm probably my humor, we love to laugh in my family and I love being light hearted and laughing until I am crying! Laughter is the best medicine!
I love your husbands answer. That is so sweet and those are great traits to have.
@kmtz89 I have social media but rarely post. My mom on the other hand couldn't wait to tell everyone. Same with my first. So once we found out the gender, I put together a cute announcement and let her post it. I also let her tell my brother both times because she was so excited and wanted to tell people so that's how I let her tell someone early lol. We told all of our close friends and family already.
I was waffling between easygoing and loyal! I feel like I am very loyal but I also value honesty. Because I'm easy going, when someone isn't honest with me (especially if I ask them directly) then I can't trust them anymore. It hasn't happened a lot but that is why I picked easygoing over loyal.
@jojosesame I'm surprised that us 17 week-ers are all feeling that nausea again too. As for sleeping, I'm a side sleeper but with my first there were times I would wake up on my back. What I remember is that it's not the worse position and if you wake up on your back you shouldn't worry but that you should try to sleep on your side as much as possible.
Love your personality answer too! These are all great answers.

Team blue/pink/green: Blue + ? (HOWEVER, at today's appt, our doctor told us that while it's too early to be definitive, it looks like Baby B may be a girl!!)
How are you feeling?: Feeling great! Still always tired haha
GTKY: Which of your personality traits are you most proud of? Hmmmm, I think that I have a knack for at creating little traditions and adding fun or specialness to little everyday moments like candles at dinner, drinking coffee on our balcony every weekend in special glasses just for that, our weekly tradition of watching the sunset at the beach every week with a picnic, and planning little get togethers with our friends...I'm so so excited to have more special memories and traditions with our babies and build a really special and intentional family culture.
@kmtz89, We're in a similar boat, in that pretty much all the people we are close with know for the most part. But now that the secret's out and the babies are continuing to look good, I think we'll post this week. We're going to snap a couple photos at this week's little beach picnic with a couple of matching baby onesies I picked up and some ultrasound photos.

How are you feeling?: i feel great as long as i take my unisom+b6. Tried a few days without and though im ok, i still felt nauseous throughout the day and id rather not feel nauseous at all.
GTKY: Which of your personality traits are you most proud of?
I’m pretty relaxed and do must things flying by the seat of my pants and doing what feels natural. I find this benefits me immensely as a mom, especially the doing what feels right and natural rather than stressing about if I'm doing it “right” or not. There are way too many opinions out there about parenting, especially feeding and sleeping🤪
@jojosesame my midwife said that you’ll know when to not sleep on your back. It’ll be uncomfortable and you’ll wake up breathless.

How are you feeling?: overall OK, just sleepier and noticing I’m more fatigued after my runs. I hope this isn’t my body/baby girl telling me I can’t run anymore 😣
GTKY: Which of your personality traits are you most proud of?
My staunch optimism. It drives me each day, and helps a lot in my work as an addiction psychologist. I’m hopeful it will make me a better mom, too. I grew up with a Debbie downer of a mom and my biggest fear is that I will become her. This trait reminds me I’m not her.
@kmtz89, at this point we are not planning on a social media reveal. Everyone we love and care about is getting personal reveals and I’m also just not that active/open on social media. We have also decided we will likely limit posts of baby girl upon her arrival. The internet is a crazy place!!
@jojosesame, I asked my OB about this just a couple weeks ago. I’m also a back sleeper and she welcomed that until we get those signals we can’t do it anymore. Her rankings were: left side > right side > back, for best to worst positions. I think we should all just focus on getting the best sleep we can until we lose that luxury haha
