When is your due date? How far along are you? Oct 30th, 18 weeks today
How big is baby? the size of a Tall frappuccino
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Team finding out in T-minus 7 days!
Any Upcoming Appointments? Anatomy scan/midwife appt June 5
Symptoms? Hungry hungry hungry, and sciatica. But mostly hungry.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
GTKY: Do you have any pets? What would be your dream pet if space/expense/laws were no object? We have two rescue dogs, Jackson the 9 year old Beagle (who we fondly call "a-hole") and Kara the 6 year old pitbull pix (giant lovebug snuggle-queen). I adore smooshy-faced dogs and would love to own one, especially a Frenchie or a Boxer, but their common health issues make me rethink it. We tried to add a third dog unsuccessfully last year (she got in a nasty fight with my pit mix and we ended up returning her to the rescue, who found her a home that was a better fit), so we're a two-dog household till one of our current dogs dies (hopefully not for a long time).

When is your due date? How far along are you? November 26, 14w1d
How big is baby? Lemon size
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Pink!
Any Upcoming Appointments? Thursday. Basic appointment, nothing exciting.
Symptoms? Sore boobs still, gross taste in my mouth, occasional nausea
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Love being able to talk to DS about being a big brother. He asks to sing to his sister and hugs on my belly. It is literally one of my favorite things ever!
GTKY: Do you have any pets? What would be your dream pet if space/expense/laws were no object? I have a cat.
I am boring, do not have a dream pet. I would have said a chimp in the past but too many face ripping incidents for my liking!

Due date: 11/1, I’m almost 18 weeks
Size: pomegranate
Finding out or team green: Idk! Kinda leaning toward finding out now.
Upcoming appts: a/s at 21 weeks
Symptoms: lots of BH. They are messing with my sleep now. Started almost the exact same day as my last pregnancy.
Rants/raves/AW/Qs: my mom still acts like I might be attending a family event that is 12 hours away taking place during my 37th week. LOL no. I can only laugh at this point when she says things like “maybe you can just see how you feel, I know you’re thinking you don’t want to.” There is no way I would ever put myself through that or that my doctor would allow it.
GTKY: we have a cat. I’m not really a cat person but DS loves that thing and it’s the only pet we can handle right now.

expatmama11 I studied primates in college and ended accepting an internship after I graduated working on a project teaching language to a chimp. It was a hot mess and I left after two days because it ended up basically that this linguist who lived in the middle of nowhere, Missouri, decided to buy a chimpanzee and raise him as her son (he even wore clothes) and try to teach him to read. Every time I hear news involving a chimp I check if it's her because I'm fully expecting her to get her face ripped off by what is now a fully adult male chimpanzee living in her house.

When is your due date? How far along are you? 11/29; 13+5
How big is baby? A jalapeno
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Blue
Any Upcoming Appointments? None until 6/21
Symptoms? Besides my belly looking like I've been eating too much, I'm in that phase where I really don't feel pregnant at all. I'll take it for now though!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I feel like time is finally starting to move a little faster now that first tri is basically over. I feel like now we can actually start making some plans/prepping a nursery, but now that the weather is nice, I have no motivation.
GTKY: Do you have any pets? What would be your dream pet if space/expense/laws were no object? We have one dog, Jilly (see avatar), a bichon/poodle mix. She hates other dogs, and honestly, I'm good with just the one dog anyway, especially with one small child and a baby on the way. She's old, 10, but still acts like a puppy, and being a smaller dog, we have no clue how long she has left, but I don't foresee any new additions even after she passes until kids are a lot older/able to help with a pet. Then we'll probably look into another poodle mix, but a little bigger in size. I have always wanted a bunny, but H is 0% on board with that plan.

When is your due date? How far along are you? 12/30. 9w2d
How big is baby? A grape
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out
Any Upcoming Appointments? Had my weekly u/s today. Baby grew a lot this week (was measuring 4-5 days behind) and is now measuring 9w1d!
Symptoms? Still horrible nausea 95% of the day. Tired.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Not much right now? The nausea is rough.
GTKY: Do you have any pets? What would be your dream pet if space/expense/laws were no object? No pets. And I feel like this makes me a horrible person but...I just don't really want one! Ha! I have enough to take care of! I had hamsters and fish when I was a kid, but now I think about maintaining a tank and...I barely have enough time to clean my house let alone keep their habitat clean too.

When is your due date? How far along are you? Nov 8th. 16w5d
How big is baby? Soda Can
Team Finding Out / Team Green? finding out! hopefully June 12th!
Any Upcoming Appointments? I just had a meet and greet with a new OB and felt really good about it. There have been too many issues with communication and coordination with my current practice (although I still think my actual doctor is great, I just can never get in to see her since they're so busy!). I'm excited for a fresh start and hopefully a more positive experience overall at this new smaller practice. I'm keeping my anatomy scan at my current clinic since it's only a couple weeks away and then I'll start up at the new OB in July.
Symptoms? Still gagging, especially when I went without my B6 and unisom. My SI is totally out of whack too, but I've been able to manage it myself so far.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I'm feeling movement a lot more consistently, which is awesome!
GTKY: Do you have any pets? What would be your dream pet if space/expense/laws were no object? A Bernese mountain dog has always been my dream dog, and we currently have one. I would love to have 2 giant dogs (either Berners, St Bernards, or Newfoundlands) but I definitely need to wait until we no longer have little babies/toddlers in the house given our set up.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
GTKY: Do you have any pets? What would be your dream pet if space/expense/laws were no object? We don’t have any pets, and no immediate plans to get any. I wouldn’t mind having a dog who was well trained and also lazy and would relax with us without needing a lot of exercise. So... I guess we should get a cat?

GTKY: Do you have any pets? What would be your dream pet if space/expense/laws were no object? We have two dogs a cavalier King Charles and a half cocker half cavalier and a beta fish who is 4 years old (the longest I’ve ever kept a beta alive). I love the dogs, my H does not because they are not the brightest. They will be 9 and 11 this year. My h wants a Doberman like he had growing up next, but my dream would be to get a French lop bunny. I have wanted one since I was a child and I know rabbits are know assholes, but it doesn’t change my desire for one.

I had a Boston Terrier that my ex and I adopted from a couple that was splitting up, and he was one of the best pets I ever had. It was nice to get him when he was already trained too. He needed another loving home and he was such a good dog.

When is your due date? How far along are you? November 15. 15w 6d.
How big is baby? A yellow canary.
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out on June 28th!
Any Upcoming Appointments? Had my regular check up yesterday and baby's heartbeat was 145-150. Everything looks good! Next is June 25th and U/S June 28th.
Symptoms? Tired, feeling sore...
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I think I need to find a new doctor. I met one of the rotating 5 I have to see yesterday and she left a bad taste for me. That along with the distance of the office and such....I just think it's time. I also feel like I can't focus on my pregnancy with everything else going on and it's kind of making me feel guilty.
GTKY: Do you have any pets? What would be your dream pet if space/expense/laws were no object? We have our rescue lab/Sheppard mix. She is the best and we love her dearly. We also have a rabbit that I would love to give away. The jerk keeps peeing out of his cage and I'm over it. We change it daily and it still stinks so bad. If I could I would probably have a farm with a horse and pigs and chickens lol. Growing up we always had a ton of different animals (and always had 5 dogs). We also had half an acre though so that's why.
