    Little on is measuring like 4 days ahead. I'm surprised my doctor didn't bump up my due date. 

    FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM

    Baby is the size of a (an): Strawberry/ Prune

    Team blue/pink/green: got our sneakpeek results back. Blue!

    Upcoming Appointments: Just had one Friday, so not until November 1st now. 

    How are you feeling?: Better. Nausea is easing up a bit and I got a prescription if it gets bad again now. Excited to be closer to being out of first tri. 

    Rants/Raves:
    Rave: got to see little one wiggling around at my appointment. First one I got to see movement. Even with the 3rd its so surreal. 

    Rant: Bloody nose a couple nights ago. Had one or two with my first, none with my second. Came as a shock with this one. I've only had 3 in my entire life and had completely forgotten that is a somewhat common occurrence in pregnancy. 

    Questions: None right now.

    Baby is the size of a (an): guitar pick

    Team blue/pink/green: not sure yet, but we're finding out with the NiPT! My gut says girl because this pregnancy feels so different than my son. 

    Upcoming Appointments: second appointment on Wednesday and they'll draw blood for the NiPT. I'm hoping they offer the NT ultrasound too

    How are you feeling?: I get waves of nausea and fatigue, but overall better than weeks 6-8 for sure. I'm feeling pretty nervous about being a mom of 2. One is tough enough, especially with this never-ending 18 month sleep regression😅 in also nervous about birth because I had a very traumatic first experience but I'm trying not to give that too much headspace at this point. 

    Rants/Raves: so thankful I work part-time now. I was worried quitting my job in the spring but it feels like I made the right decision now that I'm pregnant.

    Questions: anyone have two super different pregnancies with the same sex babies?

    As a little kid I liked Barney and then as a bigger kid I loved Hannah Montana, Lizzy McGuire, and all those Disney shows. 
    I loved all books as a kid. I loved reading. I wish I had more time and energy for it now

    @mcmanda4321 My LO is going through a regression too! He is becoming such a handful and it's making first tri exhaustion even more prominent! 
    My blood test says this one's a boy and my last one was as well. I feel like this pregnancy is different in the fact that everything is worse. It might be attributed to this being my third though.

    Baby is the size of a (an): I always forget to check before I start answering but I think one of my apps said cherry

    Team blue/pink/green: I've been starting to hope it's a girl, but we will see!

    Upcoming Appointments: TODAY! dating US later this afternoon and I am nervous.

    How are you feeling?: so sick! I actually had a migraine on Thursday, and another one yesterday. I haven't had very many migraines in the past couple of years so I'm a bit nervous that this will be a new pregnancy symptom for me. Crossing my fingers I'm wrong, because they take me out for a full 24 hrs when I get them.

    Rants/Raves: Rant... Well, probably the migraines this weekend. Rave... My parents are flying out for Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend, so if everything goes well with the dating ultrasound today we will tell them about baby #2!

    Questions: no questions but I'm loving seeing people say their nausea has started subsiding around week 10. Holding onto hope!!!

    Baby is the size of a (an): Strawberry 

    Team blue/pink/green: unknown

    Upcoming Appointments: 10/22

    How are you feeling?: nausea is definitely going down (thank goodness). Have been only able to keep down salty food so I’ve gained like 4lbs and I hope it’s all water weight! 

    Rants/Raves: 9M old is super needy and is teething and it’s so hard to have the energy.  Really excited to be out of the 1st trimester!

    Questions: what is your favorite exercise routine/ app/ whatever for while you are pregnant? Really hoping to start working out again in the next two weeks when I (hopefully) have more energy

    @cuveema12-23 I really loved the app expecting and empowered during my first pregnancy! It's a little bit pricey (like $28/month) so I haven't splurged this time around, but we'll see if I stay motivated with my current, boring gym plan my husband wrote me lol

    @cuveema12-23 I used GlowBodyPT’s free prenatal workouts during my last pregnancy and have been working on getting back into them slowly as I’m feeling up for them. I typically just did some here and there and didn’t follow the plan to a T but staying within the week that you are makes sure that the workout is safe for the trimester you are in!

    How are you feeling?: Nausea still comes and goes, some days I’m totally fine and then other days it hits me again. I’ve been getting a lot more headaches recently.

    Baby is the size of a (an): cherry!

    Team blue/pink/green: not finding out gender!

    Upcoming Appointments: waiting for a call from maternal fetal medicine to get the rest of my first trimester tests set up

    How are you feeling?: sick. I’m glad to hear week 10 is looking up for many- I hope that’s the same for me, all my symptoms started super early and I’m tired of feeling terrible.

    Rants/Raves: just hoping to feel better soon

    Questions: do we like cribs that convert all the way to full sized beds or just cribs that convert to toddler beds??

    Baby is the size of a (an): blueberry/ jellybean 

    Team blue/pink/green: team pink 🤞🏻

    Upcoming Appointments: 10/14 - so close! 

    How are you feeling?: I’m feeling so much better than last week, when I was a nauseous zombie. Now I’m just tired, but able to eat more than toast! Very excited for the US and first appointments on Monday. 

    Rants/Raves: I’m so grateful for my husband just telling me to lie down when I’m exhausted, and taking care of our 2 year old.

    Questions: where have you found a great maternity winter coat? I think I need a new one 

    GTKY: Favorite book - boxcar children and Nancy drew, then Harry Potter much later

    DD / Weeks + Days: 5/29, 7 weeks 1 day

    FTM/STM/TTM+: 3rd

    Baby is the size of a (an): blueberry

    Team blue/pink/green: we shall see. I am a little bit feeling like I want to be team green sometimes but idk.

    Upcoming Appointments: just had one yesterday, next one is a nurses appointment for medical history

    How are you feeling?: not great but could be worse. I'm generally functional lol. I was a lot more tired than usual today but a little less nauseous.

    Rants/Raves: my doctor's appointment yesterday was super pointless. The nurse appointment and that appointment should have been combined into one.

    Questions: none
