GTKY: What are your plans for Thanksgiving, if you celebrate? If not, any fun plans this weekend?   We're celebrating with my ILs tonight.  I am less than excited.  Tomorrow we're celebrating with my family and my brother is bringing home a girlfriend so I'm super excited for that!

This weekend I'm planning on shopping the local businesses on Small Business Saturday and that night they are lighting the tree in our city so we'll probably go to that unless it's freezing.

Weeks pregnant: 24+5

Baby is the size of a: demi baguette

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: stm

Team: pink

Appointments: 11/28

Symptoms: insomnia, shortness of breath, weepy

Milestones: viability!

Rants/Raves/Vents: my sil wants to host thanksgiving this year and i know things change, but we have literally always had it at my parent's, so i'm being a little emotional about it. this will likely be the only year sil will host so i am trying to keep that in mind. i hate change and it just seems like everything in our family has kind of fallen apart in the last few years. vent over sorry!

GTKY: What are your plans for Thanksgiving, if you celebrate? If not, any fun plans this weekend? going to sil's this year. we will probably stop at the il's too, but they are having a dinner sunday. we will probably try to get a tree sometime this weekend - dd is going to be so excited i can't wait to decorate this year!

[Leaf 🌱]

Weeks pregnant: 19w5d

Baby is the size of a: game boy?

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Green

Appointments: AS was Monday, 20w appt this Tuesday

Symptoms: anxiety, poor appetite, bad sleep, crazy dreams

Milestones: no news from the AS, but I’m guessing this is a no news is good news situation?

DD is also being SUPER sweet about “her new baby.” Apparently it’s hers and mine, but she’ll share with DH. She said the new baby can use her special turtle pillow and tell me all the things she’s going to do with new baby: pat it’s back when it cries, below ith diaper changes, get it a pabi, etc. It’s just SO cute.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I feel terrible saying it, but I just want to be done. My anxiety is over the top and straight up annoying.

GTKY: What are your plans for Thanksgiving, if you celebrate? If not, any fun plans this weekend? We’re staying in town and having dinner with my family. I love watching the parade and then watching both versions of Miracle on 34th St. I think the parade should hold some of DD’s attention this year and she’ll definitely love “helping” in the kitchen.

I’m not taking any leave but DH and I might sneak off to see Justice League at some point while DD is at DC.

Weeks pregnant: 25+5

Baby is the size of a: napa cabbage

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM

Team: Blue

Appointments: in 2 weeks

Symptoms: sciatic nerve pain, tossing and turning all. night. long. Hello dark circles under my eyes that I'm sure will be there for the next 20 years.

Rants/Raves/Vents: Had my first coworker touch my belly yesterday. We get along fine, but she's not my favorite. "Oh you probably don't want people touching your belly"... and continues to touch my belly as I inch away from her. Also, "wow you're huge!" Thanks a whole bunch.

GTKY: What are your plans for Thanksgiving, if you celebrate? If not, any fun plans this weekend?
We're going up to Michigan to my brother's for actual Thursday and Friday, hoping to go to the parade in Detroit on Thursday, maybe a little shopping on Friday. Then to the ILs for the weekend to celebrate with them.

LOL I can’t remember if I mentioned it here or not but I called around like a crazy person and snagged an appointment at the imaging center we went to for my daughter.

Weeks pregnant: 22

Baby is the size of a: guinea pig

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: girl

Appointments: OB next Wednesday, possible specialist appt next week depending on test results

Symptoms: insomnia, back ache, general uncomfortableness

Milestones:

Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm so anxious for these test results. I just have this feeling they are going to be bad and just want to know.

GTKY: What are your plans for Thanksgiving, if you celebrate? If not, any fun plans this weekend? We do a luncheon today with my work and three get togethers with family tomorrow. It's a little chaotic but fun.

[katietopaz]

Weeks pregnant: 21w6d

Baby is the size of a: dragon egg, least weasel

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

Team: Blue

Appointments: Repeat a/s next week

Symptoms: insomnia, weird digestion things, running short of breath

Milestones: umm...the insomnia started, as I've been whining about.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm having a massive urge to nest. I'm in the purge phase - I want to go through all our closets and boxes in the garage and get rid of all the stuff we don't use. It's also making me a little anxious about this baby not having his own room or space. I just have no idea how we're going to figure out sleep stuff, even if that is several months down the road.

GTKY: What are your plans for Thanksgiving, if you celebrate? If not, any fun plans this weekend? Nothing big. All our family is a flight away, so we'll celebrate just us with a mini-version of a Thanksgiving meal. I have Christmas lists in hand to take care of some online shopping, too.

I'm wearing shorts today because it's a high of 96F, WHAAAAAT is happening.

Baby is the size of a: Philly cheese steak, which I now want to eat. I do have a PCS pizza in the freezer... 🤔

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: ftm

Team: Blue

Appointments: December 7 I think for glucose challenge

Symptoms: nothing I can't live with. 2nd Tri can list for a while lol

Milestones: not this week, but I hadn't mentioned it. I definitely popped a couple weeks back. So, comments in town, done wearing pre-pregnancy clothes, etc

Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm feeling much more motivated this week. I've been working on fun projects, made a taggy for our baby and now working on a blanket for a friend's baby

GTKY: What are your plans for Thanksgiving, if you celebrate? If not, any fun plans this weekend?

Going to the ILs tomorrow. SO MUCH GOOD FOOD I CAN'T WAIT!! I need to go to the store and prep my green bean casserole and sweet potatoes today.

Will pry go black Friday shopping, but maybe only online.

[yianna]

katietopaz I'll take the 96. You can have my 50s with wind.

[Rama]

Weeks pregnant: 21,5

Baby is the size of a: Dragon Egg, Least Weasel

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

Team: Green

Appointments: Next Friday, anatomy pt 2

Symptoms: Sleepy, can't breathe, movement

Milestones: I can feel movement several times a day now. Can't wait until MrRama can feel this babe, too.

Rants/Raves/Vents: Gaiz, my husband is too cute. He's killing me with all the talking to the baby (which I still haven't done much of because it feels weird) and it's melting me all over the city.

GTKY: What are your plans for Thanksgiving, if you celebrate? If not, any fun plans this weekend? I'm making the turkey and stuffing, then we're going to my parents' house to celebrate with the "extended" family. It'll be my parents, sister, SIL, and FIL, plus me and H. Should be a good time.

[snowmoon]

Weeks pregnant: 22+ 6

Baby is the size of a: guinea pig, corn cob

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: green

Appointments: saw the midwife yesterday. Glucose test in 2 weeks.

Symptoms: insomnia, back pain, short of breath.

Milestones:

Rants/Raves/Vents: Most of my clothes are ugly and I'm feeling very frumpy and I hate it.

GTKY: What are your plans for Thanksgiving, if you celebrate? I'm Canadian, so nothing here. I will be takin advantage of Black Friday sales though.

[tinyjoys]

Weeks pregnant: 16.5

Baby is the size of a: somewhere between a can of soda & a large order of fries.

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: third.

Team: green.

Appointments: two weeks from today, I have my AS at the MFM in the AM & a normal OB in the afternoon.

Symptoms: nausea, sciatic pain, RLP, forgetfulness.

Milestones: feeling movement more regularly.

Rants/Raves/Vents: on Monday, SIL texted H saying she found my long forgotten KIK account & that I’m probably cheating on him. H eye rolled her hard & shut it down quick. But now MIL doesn’t understand why I have zero interest in going to her house for dessert tomorrow now. Because I have zero interest in seeing SIL anytime soon. This is the same SIL that announced this pregnancy on Facebook before we did. Overstepping is her game.

GTKY: We’re staying home & hosting my mom, gram, sister, and sister’s boyfriend. Our plan is to eat around 3, then snuggle up in the living room & watch a movie before dessert.

[clementine]

tinyjoys I am so annoyed for you. SIL needs to chill out and live her own life.

SIL doesn’t have a life, which is part of the problem.

[sunshinedaisies]

Weeks pregnant: 24 weeks

Baby is the size of a: I don’t know - big?

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Blue

Appointments: mid December sometime

Symptoms: I’m over the heartburn!!! It’s now starting mid afternoon no matter what I eat. At least so far, meds are working. I also have lingering morning sickness - I’ve thrown up twice in the last week and then I go back on my merry way and feel fine the rest of the day. Wtf?

Milestones: viability!!!!

Rants/Raves/Vents: we got a new bed - after two long years on a terrible mattress. I’m so grateful that we got it as I didn’t think I’d be able to sleep this second half of pregnancy (who am I kidding, I still wake up every 2 hours to pee 😂).

Also, my boss came to talk to me about an assignment yesterday and stopped in his tracks and raved about how good I looked. He said I looked terrible before (when I was on the prednisone and super fat in the face). I’m like...I don’t know how to respond to that...thanks I think? Like I get the meds made me look terrible, I felt terrible, I don’t particularly need to know everyone else thought I looked terrible too. Like maybe ignorance is bliss here!

GTKY: What are your plans for Thanksgiving, if you celebrate?  If not, any fun plans this weekend?

Cooking tonight/tomorrow morning, and then a small get together with my sister and nephews. We are staying in town and family decided to not visit since we are going there for Christmas. Also - it’s supposed to be 90 so my sister suggested the beach. I can’t wrap my head around a beach day for thanksgiving rather than a snow day!

I am way more excited for Friday. Christmas decorations and we are taking DS to his first movie in a theater!

[cornpop]

Omg tinyjoys. So ridiculous.

[mintyblueair]

Weeks pregnant: 20+4

Baby is the size of a: endive

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: pink! We just found out today!

Appointments: tomorrow

Symptoms: some pelvic pain ever since I did a lot of hiking a couple weeks ago. Also starting to get pain in my ribs when I'm laying down.

Milestones: passing the halfway mark

Rants/Raves/Vents: nothing really. I was convinced I was having another boy so I was in complete shock when we found out tonight! Now we can focus on choosing a name 😀

GTKY: What are your plans for Thanksgiving, if you celebrate? If not, any fun plans this weekend?

I'm Canadian, so just a typical weekend coming up for me. It's going to be warm so hopefully we'll spend lots of time outside. We'll probably go out for breakfast on Saturday.

Well she needs to get a life then. Ha. I am eye rolling hard but also laughing because that's ridiculous. Sorry,I know it's not funny to you.

Weeks pregnant: 23

Baby is the size of a: chinchilla, bunch of grapes

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: green

Appointments: OB 12/4 and MFM 12/5

Symptoms: still nauseous with some vomiting. I had it the whole time with DS so it doesn’t surprise me.

Milestones: viability day tomorrow

Rants/Raves/Vents: I am already over the GD. Lunch was catered at a training the other day and almost everything was carbs and smelled deliciously. My nausea is worse because I can’t eat the foods that helped it. I also think I will be put on meds for my fasting numbers. I’ve been a few points over the target each morning. I so wanted to stay diet controlled like I was with DS.

GTKY: What are your plans for Thanksgiving, if you celebrate? If not, any fun plans this weekend? I am supposed to go to my parents’ house, but my mom and I had an argument last week and she hasn’t talked to me much since, so we may just stay home today. DH works until 4 and I shouldn’t eat a lot of the foods that will be there anyways.

[thankfully]

Weeks pregnant: 18w2d

Baby is the size of a: Sweet potato

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: 4th

Team: Pink

Appointments: Had my anatomy scan yesterday and everything looked great. I feel relieved.

Symptoms: Other than getting winded easily not much of anything at this point.

Milestones: Finally feeling some movement, damn anterior placenta.

Rants/Raves/Vents: Just very happy to have had the anatomy scan and everything looks as expected. I wasn't exactly excited going into it, more nervous.

GTKY: What are your plans for Thanksgiving, if you celebrate? If not, any fun plans this weekend? Going to my aunt's place for early dinner with my side of the family. I had my ILs down last weekend and cooked a full spread so we've already got one Thanksgiving on the books.
