EDD / Weeks + Days: January 16th
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Baby is the size of a (an): Mango
Team blue/pink/green: Blue
Upcoming Appointments: Scan in 2 weeks
How are you feeling?: Physically, I am pretty good, but my emotions are all over the place right now.
Rants/Raves: Rave - Just got a new pregnancy pillow and laptop desk that make working in bed/on the couch so much more comfortable.
Questions: If you had to choose between a professional maternity photoshoot and a newborn one, which would you pick?
GTKY: What do you wish you did more of? Walking! The hubby is so good about going after work every day with the dog, but I'm so mentally tired I bail a lot of the time. I know it is good for me though so I want to push myself to go more.

Baby is the size of a (an): Mango
Team blue/pink/green: Twin BOYS!
How are you feeling?: Feeling good! Had some really painful round ligament pain that seemed to come out of nowhere on Thu/Fri, made even simple things like walking really painful. Stretching, hot shower, resting and getting a belly band seemed to really help, things are much more normal yesterday and today.
GTKY: What do you wish you did more of? Go on more hikes/walks on local trails or out in nature rather than just around my neighborhood since that's more convenient. I love walking down at the beach or on some pretty local trails, it just takes more planning/time to drive on top of walking, but I should do it more--always so relaxing and peaceful!

Baby is the size of a (an): Endive (or some of the fun ones - Kool-Aid Burst Bottle or Trolley from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood)
Team blue/pink/green: Blue
How are you feeling?: Good for the most part. A few nights I have been waking up with indigestion. Also, since switching iron supplements my stomach is feeling better but I am starting to notice the constipation. It's not too bad yet but I need to start managing it before it becomes a bigger problem.
GTKY: What do you wish you did more of? My hobbies. I used to read and knit/crochet and I really miss doing that. I also don't get to really watch TV anymore. I have started to play a video game that I like during my daughter's naps on the weekends. They are so unpredictable how long they are going to be though so that's all I have tried doing so far.
@kendyb77 I was hoping the registry would be easier the 2nd time around but it's not! I don't need as much but all of the options of the stuff I do need or want to try this time around is still overwhelming.

Baby is the size of a (an): a bottle of jager? Haha I was trying to look up interesting comparisons
Team blue/pink/green: green
How are you feeling?: I feel like I have no control over my emotions. It's a little rough some times. Also the random aches are creeping in.
GTKY: What do you wish you did more of? read. I use to read a lot and I feel like since having kids I never have the attention span.
Also - @kamays54 I have started to really look forward to these every week. Thank you so much for always starting the thread 💕

Baby is the size of a (an): Endive (weird)
Team blue/pink/green: 💙
How are you feeling?: Good for the most part, extremely emotional, tired at times and aches and pains here and there.
GTKY: What do you wish you did more of?
Pilates and any other more intense movements. I’m an active person but this pregnancy really caused me to pump the brakes and now I just can’t get back in the groove. Trying to be patient and kind to myself but I do wish I was more consistently active like I used to be.

Baby is the size of a (an): banana (or, apparently, a Starbucks venti cup!!)
Team blue/pink/green: blue
How are you feeling?: very excited and a little nervous for the anatomy scan! But mostly fine, though pregnancy brain is still intense. I keep making minor mistakes at work and am really really hoping I don’t accidentally do anything significant.
GTKY: What do you wish you did more of? Like a lot of others here - getting into nature! We live so close to the mountains and we just never go. I’m hoping to take advantage of the upcoming long weekend to drive in and walk around - I don’t think I can handle a super long hike at higher elevation right now but could totally do a few miles.

Baby is the size of a (an): pomegranate
Team blue/pink/green: 🩷
How are you feeling?: exhausted. Glad to have some energy back and thrilled the nausea is 99% gone but holy crap the energy goes FAST.
GTKY: What do you wish you did more of? Hobbies for sure. I’ve been in grad school and working the last year and a half, I miss doing hobbies lol.
@jaclyn-ak - we are headed to Italy in a couple weeks! We were hoping for a Scandinavia trip or something this year, but we’re headed back to Italy since we know we can get around easily and also so we can balance exploring and naps. Trying to plan a big trip where we’d be hiking was not in the cards for this year.

Baby is the size of a (an): Mango
Team blue/pink/green: Pink!
How are you feeling?: Tired! Reaching that "uncomfortable while trying to sleep" stage already so I've not been sleeping well. Other than that everything is peachy!
GTKY: What do you wish you did more of? Spending time with my friends! Between our group of 7 girls, we have 17 kids among us with ages that range from 10 years to 2 weeks, so that's made it harder for all of us to get together - but when we do, it's a chaotic mess of fun LOL!

Baby is the size of a (an): mango (bowl of cereal?? lol ok the Bump)
Team blue/pink/green: pink
How are you feeling?: was feeling fine and dandy until I was struck with the WORST sharp leg cramps in the middle of the night last night. Wow. I’ve read this can happen but I think I was also struck because im visiting family in CA right now and way less active/not stretching like I normally do.
GTKY: What do you wish you did more of? Read! Like @kmtz89, I struggle with maintaining the attention to do so. I’m getting through the baby books though, slowly but surely
@lovelylittlebump, we want to do a newborn shoot over pregnancy shoot! My husband is taking the pregnancy shots weekly and while they are not glamorous, that’s good enough for me. But the newborn phase is so precious and goes by quick! I hope we can fund it.

Baby is the size of a (an): 🥭
Team blue/pink/green: 💗pink
How are you feeling?: work is so much more draining while pregnant, but other than that, feeling good with the occasional motion sickness when in the car.
GTKY: What do you wish you did more of?
got to me! Incredibly - last night was the first time I really got the kicks and moves and without a doubt, I know it was him! Finally!!!
Winter Prep: Make sure you have warm clothing, blankets, and a car seat cover to protect your newborn from the cold.
Flu Season: Consider getting a flu shot and staying up-to-date on vaccinations to protect your newborn.
Holiday Planning: The holiday season can be busy. Plan ahead for rest and self-care as you approach your due date.
New Year, New Beginnings: Start the year off with your baby essentials ready—diapers, onesies, and nursery items.
Support System: Line up support from family or friends to help during the first few weeks.
Wishing you a healthy pregnancy and a joyful start to 2025
