Team:  PINK

Appointments:  Not until 11/6

Symptoms:  I'm actually feeling pretty good this week, although I did a hell of a RLP last night when I coughed.

Milestones:  Nothing new this week

Rants/Raves/Vents:  I'm finally feeling better and now I have a cold   I hope this goes away quickly.

GTKY: What are some of your hobbies or things you like to do to relax?  I love barre although I haven't done it since I was 6w pregnant, I miss it!  I also like crocheting and reading in the bath.  Basically I'm a grandma already.  I like cooking/baking but I've been too tired to really enjoy it since getting pregnant.

[mattsgirl2004]

Weeks pregnant: 15w2d

Baby is the size of a: Don't know

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: 4th

Team: Blue

Appointments: Next week on Tuesday. Just a doppler check and will schedule my a/s that day.

Symptoms: Sore boobs sometimes, always tired, gas, numb hands, hip pain.

Milestones:

Rants/Raves/Vents: I feel like this pregnancy is going by so slowly.

GTKY: What are some of your hobbies or things you like to do to relax?
Right now, if I can stay awake after my kids go to bed, I enjoy watching one of my favorite TV shows I have on the DVR with something yummy to snack on.

[calendula]

Weeks pregnant: 18!

Baby is the size of a: sweet potato

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: PINK!

Appointments: Anatomy scan on Tuesday

Symptoms: Starting to have some sciatic pain in my right hip. Ouch. This didn't start until way later last time, so I'm wary.

Milestones: Feeling movement

Rants/Raves/Vents: Nothing really. I've definitely noticed my patience is far thinner than normal. This is notable. Due to my line of work, I am a very patient person, so its a definite shift that I'm very WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU about so many people right now. Lol.

GTKY: What are some of your hobbies or things you like to do to relax? I spend a lot of time exercising, honestly. I have an Orangetheory membership, so I do a lot of those classes, plus SoulCycle with friends occasionally and running outside when the weather is nice. We like to hike, so we will do that on weekends. Between work and parenting and taking care of the house, there's not much me time, but what I do have I spend being active.

[tinyjoys]

Weeks pregnant: 12 on Saturday.

Baby is the size of a: somewhere between a donut hole & chicken nugget.

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: third.

Team: GREEN!

Appointments: MFM in two weeks, regular OB in three.

Symptoms: nausea, exhaustion, pregnancy brain.

Milestones: so close to second tri.

Rants/Raves/Vents: so tired.

GTKY: What are some of your hobbies or things you like to do to relax?: I started taking the epsom salt baths because of the boil, but they're quickly becoming my favorite part of the night. I'm looking into other salts now, too. I'm thinking I need the lavender & the pink Himalayan dr. Teals. Also, reading or here. Oh, and cooking & baking, but those have mostly been back burnered for the time being.

[pearbear]

calendula I am so impressed that you are so focused on your physical fitness. I wish I could have that kind of motivation/desire.

[sweetc129]

Weeks pregnant: 18w

Baby is the size of a: Sweet Potato

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: BLUE

Appointments: Not until A/S on 11/1

Symptoms: I feel like I did around 24+ weeks, space already seems to be getting tighter in there.

Milestones:Feeling lots of movement now.

Rants/Raves/Vents:I am really self conscious this time, I just feel huge all over, but I know it's mostly in my head.

GTKY: What are some of your hobbies or things you like to do to relax? Read and play candy crush. I really want to get back into some healthy routines after this baby. I've packed on the pounds these few pregnancies.

[pearbear]

Weeks pregnant: 14w3d

Baby is the size of a: Beet

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Pink

Appointments: none until November

Symptoms: Still so tired and occasional bouts of nausea. I can't eat any sugar without getting a horrible taste in my mouth.

Milestones: I am 99% sure I am feeling baby movements! So much earlier this time, but I have felt a few rolls this week.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I have had horrible allergy issues this fall and just feel crummy all the time. I have been using a neti-pot regularly, but it's not doing much. I love the fall and the brisk weather and it stinks that I can't have the windows open or enjoy the outside.

GTKY: What are some of your hobbies or things you like to do to relax? I like to read, garden in the summer, go on long walks with the family and dog. I do enjoy yoga, but have been slacking on that lately. I need to get back into it.

[mattsgirl2004]

sweetc129 I don't think you look huge at all. I love your bump (and your sweater too!).

GTKY: What are some of your hobbies or things you like to do to relax?

I have an exercise bike that I love. I love to watch Netflix and tv. I miss having leisure time to really read, but I do like to read when I can. I like to cook too even though I'm not that good at it, getting better.

Thanks! I know I'm not and I'm just pregnant but for some reason this time it's making me self conscious. I'm just having a moment. <3 

[calendula]

sweetc129, you look fantastic! We are at the same point and I'm seriously envious of your tiny round bump!

pearbear, thank you. I wasn't as active before my first pregnancy, and certainly not during it. My exercise routines have become a lifeline for me physically and mentally in the years since I had DS and going through IF...it truly is my "me" time now and a big part of my life. It isn't really about my weight anymore, although that's how it started. I'm hoping to keep going as long as I can!

Baby is the size of a: crêpe suzette

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: stm

Team: pink!

Appointments: 10/31

Symptoms: starting to feel full all the time but hungry at the same time? i'm guessing my stomach is starting to get smushed

Milestones: almost halfway done !

Rants/Raves/Vents: i feel silly but knowing the sex has really helped me start to bond with baby finally. i feel like i've been so busy with moving and taking care of a toddler i just haven't really felt connected to this pregnancy yet.

GTKY: What are some of your hobbies or things you like to do to relax? baking, cooking, reading, knitting and rewatching favorite shows. i guess i'm an old lady too!

[alwayscheese]

Sorry I don't check in every week. Often I think I'm gonna wait till I can get DH to take my silhouette pic and then it's the next week already.

Weeks pregnant: 19

Baby is the size of a: hot dog

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM

Team: impatient to find out

Appointments: 20 week checkup next week, still haven't scheduled the anatomy scan 😩

Symptoms: definitely some RLP, and endlessly gagging on mucus, draining out of my sinuses I guess? My normal allergies are not improving during pregnancy. Bleh

Milestones: I got complemented on my baby bump lol. I'm not even trying to hide it and when I feel really full or gross it seems very big and obvious

Rants/Raves/Vents: just very impatient both too feel baby move and for anatomy scan.

Also, there's not an app for Baby Sizer is there?

GTKY: What are some of your hobbies or things you like to do to relax?

In reality, what I do is spend time here and going down rabbit holes on the web while sitting on the couch or in the tub. But things I like to do that I should do more regularly, would be, running, sewing, crafting... I mean, I would do all the hobbies if I could.

Weeks pregnant: 16w6d

Baby is the size of an: avocado, action figure

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM (4th preg)

Team: BLUE!

Appointments: checkup tomorrow

Symptoms: Very mild - food aversions, lots of peeing

Milestones: Finding out the sex last week!

Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm warming up to the idea of another boy. There will be so many sweet and fun things about having two boys, and I already feel like I'm starting to bond more with this baby now that I know. Of course, it will probably be months before we settle on a name.

GTKY: What are some of your hobbies or things you like to do to relax? We spend a lot of time at Disney in the mornings, and I love that. I'm also a stereotypical introverted nerd - I love video games, reading, puzzles, and general non-social time.

And for the Doctor Who fans...I love this shirt for "bigger on the inside" jokes while pregnant 😂

[auri]

Weeks pregnant: 14+3

Baby is the size of a: house mouse

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: stm

Team: blue

Appointments: 10/31

Symptoms: heartburn, sore boobs, still occasionally vomiting although the frequency has gone down

Milestones: second trimester

Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm a little annoyed at DH. I want to talk about names. First he didn't want to because he wanted to find out the sex first, but now that we know that he still doesn't want to.

GTKY: What are some of your hobbies or things you like to do to relax? I like to read and play music.

[smootiepie]

Weeks pregnant: 15w2d

Baby is the size of a: pear

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Blue

Appointments: 10/27 w/ the OB

Symptoms: I ran out of diclegis (and am being stubborn and not getting a refill because obvs I won't need a 30 day supply...), so nausea and vomiting is back - some days (like yesterday) are fine, some days (like today) are awful. Also sore boobs/sensitive nipples, RLP, heartburn.

Milestones: I think the majority of our group of friends know now.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm ready for consistent movement - that really helps the state of my PgAL brain. I'm also grumpy that my maternity shirts are still too big. This happened last time, but I was just hoping I could wear them for longer this time around.

GTKY: When not pregnant, we like to hit up the local breweries. Nothing better than enjoying the great outdoors w/ a craft beer in hand. Also baths, binge watching TV, and playing games on my phone.

[kayladawn91]

Weeks pregnant: 17+6 (18 weeks tomorrow?!?!)

Baby is the size of a: turnip/pear

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM

Team: Finding out

Appointments: Anatomy scan 11/7

Symptoms: Still nauseaus at night, minimal puking now thank goodness. Acid reflux. RLP.

Milestones: Nothing major this week, just happy and thankful every day I progress into this pregnancy.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I think I might have to start propping myself up in bed to sleep. I don't feel nauseous all day until I lay down. I'm blaming acid reflux.

GTKY: What are some of your hobbies or things you like to do to relax? Sleep haha. But also I enjoy reading and sitting out on the patio when it's nice out.

[ArielMermaid]

Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm still gagging on snot and puking forcefully and randomly. It's a nightmare.

GTKY: What are some of your hobbies or things you like to do to relax? I fucking love cheesey hallmark channel movies. I am not mad that they start their Christmas ones next week.

I'm so sorry for your toddler but this has me laughing out loud. That's quite a milestone.

Baby is the size of a: Can of SPAM, action figure

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: First take-home baby

Team: Green

Appointments: November 3rd for A/S and MFM initial appt

Symptoms: Random nausea again??, Fatigue getting better, appetite getting worse again, less patience/more anger, all these awful dreams

Milestones: I am 2/2 on terrible dreams this week. I'd love to have a night where I have a nice dream, if I have to dream. If all the terrible things could stop happening in brain-world, that'd be nice. Also, apparently I look pregnant now instead of fat? I'll try to remember to take a pic and post it later.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I know I eat too much sugar (see today's breakfast confession), but it's seriously the only thing I can eat. Everything else nauseates me. I actually really just want a salad right now.

[woodenshoes]

Weeks pregnant: 18w4d

Baby is the size of a: sweet potato

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Green. I checked the box on the NIPT form last week to find out the sex and then changed my mind and told the tech I didn't want to know, I hope she changed it like she said she would. My husband wants to find out, but I don't.

Appointments: PCP appointment next Tuesday (Oct. 24), A/s and initial MFM appointment on 11/7, OB appointment on 11/8

Rants/Raves/Vents: I am congested and many people have commented that I sound sick. I am sick of the drainage and phlegm.

GTKY: What are some of your hobbies or things you like to do to relax? I like to chill out and watch TV, go for walks, and read my devotionals.


I think I need to start taking bump pictures. I am overweight so I feel like my bump is just fat, but it was around this time I started taking bump pics with DS.
