𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? UGH, still sick with this miserable cold. It seems to have transitioned into bronchitis, which I've had before. My chest hurts so bad from coughing. In the past I've taken Mucinex for bronchitis, which I incorrectly assumed wasn't pregnancy safe. But turns out it is safe after the first trimester. So I've started taking that and hopefully in a few days all the congestion will be cleared out.

Besides that I'm starting to feel some kicks, which is exciting! It's not regular yet, but it's such a comfort knowing he's rocking and rolling in there.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: We used the long weekend to start potty training for my son. Big fail. We used the method from the "Oh Crap" book, which has great reviews. But it just wasn't working for us. Plus I was sick, so it was just a miserable long weekend. We'll try again in the spring, but I'm definitely feeling defeated by the experience.

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: Do you have a favorite board game?

My husband and I used to play board games a lot more frequently, pre-baby lol. I love Wingspan! Also like Dominion, Castles of Burgundy, and Ticket to Ride.

@bigworldlittleg Potty training can be so stressful and draining. We have used the Oh Crap method with all three. I will say, we had two false starts with my middle and youngest, though. (It can be hard to be so intensely watching them for multiple days! And, I think maybe they weren’t as ready as I thought they were. Though, I know what the author would say about both those comments. 🙃). My first took quite a bit to get the hang of it. My second and third did great… the second time around. 😉 You are doing great. Take a breather and start up again when you are both ready using whatever method works best for you. And as another mom once told me, you’ve never seen a college kid who is wearing diapers so at some point it comes together. 😜

(No need to apologize at all @bigworldlittleg We are so grateful for all that you do to keep us connected and talking. I was going to take a stab at starting the post, but I got intimidated about picking a get to know you question! Again, so thankful for you doing this for us each week.)

𝗘𝗗𝗗 / 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 + 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀: 20w2d

𝗙𝗧𝗠/𝗦𝗧𝗠/𝗧𝗧𝗠+/𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱: Fourth and final.

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: Not finding out. I always second guess myself as it gets close to the anatomy scan, but I think I’ll stay strong.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Huge.

Mostly good, though. Tired a lot or maybe easily tired doing things that wouldn’t have made me tired before. Trying to take it easy when (if!) I can.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rave: Excited to be less than a week from the anatomy scan (and to be counting down to baby!). We are at my in-laws for Blues Break, which I’m hoping will help pass the time. Rant: We came to my in-laws hoping for warmer weather and brought the snow with us!

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Drat. I did, but can’t think of it now. I’ll come back if I remember it.

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: Do you have a favorite board game? I love games! Unpopular opinion, I always loved Monopoly (or the idea of playing it) but it’s hard to find anyone who wants to play. We have Monopoly Go, which is not a board game but it’s a much faster way to play. I also love Ticket to Ride. I am trying to learn chess to keep up with my oldest (read: keep him honest while playing). My game of choice at the moment is I Qwix, but it’s not a board game.

butterflyhunny · February 19

@routtymama I had the exact same thinking about starting the check-in and then anxiety about the question lol!

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Really good overall! Hungrier lately lol and definitely more easily fatigued but the day to day has been smooth sailing lately.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rant: I've had a slowdown at work the last week or so but there's a lot upcoming where I'm going to be slammed busy in for the next many weeks, trying to maintain my stress levels!

Rave: I think I might be feeling some baby movement! Hard to say because it's my first but it doesn't feel like anything I've felt before!

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: NATM

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: Do you have a favorite board game? My husband and I have done a lot of game nights but I'm realizing very few that I like best are truly "board games". I'm really good at random trivia so anything involving trivia is usually a favorite for me!

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? I’m at a stage where I initially feel like I can still exert myself like pre pregnancy me and then pay for it half way through.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rant - trying to renovate a house to sell while pregnant is turning out to not be my jam. Rave - we’ve decided we are staying put in our other house for the foreseeable future so that brings a lot of peace of mind.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Anyone else getting sore in the back or hips yet? Ouch.

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: Do you have a favorite board game?
Someone said monopoly and I also love it! My fiance and I love board games and also often play connect 4 and crib. I got a horse races board game for my last birthday that has to be my favourite though.

peach93 · February 19

Echoing the others, thank you for consistently organizing our check ins @bigworldlittleg

@tashaandpeanut - omg the sore hips are insane!!!

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀:
rave: we have our 20week anatomy scan today and I’m simultaneously excited and nervous. Today is my husbands birthday so I’m manifesting everything will go well.

I LOVE board games! I think Clue is my favorite but I’m down for anything.

butterflyhunny · February 19

@tashaandpeanut funny you asked about hip pain, literally last night my right hip started killing me! Anyone find anything that helped yet??? It's better today but not completely.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Alternating between having energy and wanting to get things done and just feeling like I have no energy left at all😅

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: I haven't scheduled my anatomy scan yet. We have guests coming next week and I haven't decided if we should go ahead and do it next week or wait a week until things have calmed down. (My provider has lots of openings during both weeks ago it's not a problem to do either).

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: natm

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: Do you have a favorite board game? I also love Wingspan, we bought all of the expansions too but rarely play lately. We prefer playing on the computer together because set up just takes too long. I have to say Monopoly is one of the games I won't play, but I do like longer/involved games like Terraforming Mars and Everdell.

linh18 · February 20

@tashaandpeanut
Yep I've been getting sure hips lately, such a pain

tashaandpeanut · February 20

@butterflyhunny rest and warm baths seem to ease it but nothing has taken care of it completely. Doesn’t help that I still haven’t found a pre natal massage therapist I like and my chiro is off on injury

I’d like to find out at my anatomy scan if possible

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?

Tired, it’s been hard to sleep lately. I am noticing the hip and back pain!

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀:

Rant: Sometimes it feels overwhelming and paralyzing when I think about all that needs to be done to prepare for birth and caring for a baby. I’m way behind on the checklists this app shows, haha. I am hoping my stress doesn’t hurt my baby.

Rave: I am happy to have reached 20 weeks!

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

How is your “bump” going for you? 🙂

I’m at a point where regular pants don’t fit without the pants expander/hair tie trick. But the maternity pants are a little too much.

I’m glad I can still “hide” my pregnancy for now. 😆

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: Do you have a favorite board game?

Balderdash!

butterflyhunny · February 20

@watermelonsunshine I definitely get those overwhelmed moments too, especially when I'm trying to make decisions about things I don't feel confident about ugh!
Also in the same boat with being weirdly in between with pants lol, at least the maternity ones are comfy even if I have to pull them up!
And also love Balderdash! Haven't played it in ages though, I don't think many people even know it exists!

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀:
Rave- I’m pretty sure I felt movement this week which is so exciting!

Rant- The winter weather🙄 I had a bit of a fall on the ice last Friday and then we got even more snow. (I went in and got checked out, everything is good. I landed on my knee, nowhere near the belly thankfully.)

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: NATM

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: Do you have a favorite board game? My husband and I love to play Chess together and we like to invite my mother in law over to place some murder mystery games. I played so many board games growing up that’s it’s hard to choose.
