When is your due date? How far along are you? : 9/1. 10w3d.
How big is baby?: size of a strawberry. Still so small!
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: 4th.
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Green.
Any Upcoming Appointments?: 2/15. It was originally scheduled for tomorrow but they pushed my due date a week so they also changed my appointment. Boo.
Symptoms: Nausea all the time. I've just learned to deal with it because it rarely leads to puking. Haven't noticed the fatigue recently but I'm also solo parenting for 10 days so I think I'm just willing myself to keep going and stay organized. I definitely crash by 9 PM but I'm not falling asleep at my desk or anything like that.
Milestones: My collection of non-maternity work pants that fit is dwindling. I'm not even trying to hide the bump/bloat anymore. People can talk behind my back all they want.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I can't wait to tell more people. Just yesterday a daycare worker commented that it was time for another and I so badly wanted to tell her it's coming late August! I hate lying to people and get all weird when people bring it up. I don't want to say we're done having kids, but also don't want to let the cat out of the bag just yet.
GTKY: What weird food combinations do you really enjoy? Blueberry bagel with garden vegetable cream cheese.

When is your due date? How far along are you? : 8/2, 14+5
How big is baby?: Large Lemon. I don't really think any of these are based on the size of California produce - the lemons my mom grows on her tree are huge. So I'm guessing they mean a not-small lemon.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: 2nd
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Blue!
Any Upcoming Appointments?: 2/26. Hoping it doesn't get moved around for another emergency CS like my last ones!
Symptoms: Nausea is letting up - I'm thinking I'll drop the unisom/B6 later this week and see how I do. Lots of stretching feeling/baby rolling around. Still exhausted at the end of the day.
Milestones: By the end of the day I have a very noticeable bump, which means it's really just all the food I eat. My pants still fit, though!!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I went on my first run in two months (and by run, I mean I ran for 5 minutes out of a 2 mile walk) and I didn't die. Hoping that I can continue to increase my activity without an issue until I get uncomfortably large/my bladder can't keep up.
GTKY: What weird food combinations do you really enjoy? Pineapple with Marshmallow Fluff. I haven't had this in forever, but it's great!

How big is baby?: 🥑
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Pink
Any Upcoming Appointments?: Finally tomorrow! I've been so anxious since it's been 4 weeks since last one. I just want to hear the heartbeat again.
Symptoms: Besides the occasional tiredness and nasal congestion I feel really good.
Milestones: Starting to feel more movements although very sporadic still.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: None today
GTKY: What weird food combinations do you really enjoy? I never had any weird cravings with this pregnancy or DS. I do like to dip my mozzarella sticks in sour cream. Does that count as weird?

How big is baby?: Turnip
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Team Green
Any Upcoming Appointments?: ultrasound/20 week on 3/2
Symptoms: Mild SPD pain. Still feeling bloated a lot.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I really want to start feeling movement... I have felt some possible twinges, but nothing that I am 100% sure about yet. I enjoy pregnancy so much more once I get to that point.
GTKY: What weird food combinations do you really enjoy? Can't think of any especially weird combo that I eat regularly... although DH and I have definitely done some interesting mash-ups involving kimchi.

potatocakes MH keeps telling me I already have a baby bump. I'm like, no, that's my bloat and maybe some internal organs. 😂 It cracks me up. It's going to be several weeks before the baby is up where that blump is.

When is your due date? How far along are you? : 7/17, 17 weeks How big is baby?: a European mole FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Pink Any Upcoming Appointments?: in 3 weeks, for my anatomy scan. HOLY CRAP. Symptoms: headaches and a sore neck, but otherwise I'm feeling okay Milestones: not anything new Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: My belly is starting to get harder. Not quite a bump yet, but it should be soon. PennyCandy, I am also my toddler's personal jungle gym. I'm wondering if she can tell something is up, because she's been unusually clingy this last week. GTKY: What weird food combinations do you really enjoy? I don't know what's weird? I eat a lot of Korean and Japanese food that would be considered weird by American standards, so not sure. Kimchi/spam/fried egg sandwiches are really good though. Koreans are obsessed with spam. |

When is your due date? How far along are you? : July 17, 17w (officially 7/25, but since since NT measurements almost exactly matched ovulation, I’m betting on the original due date)
How big is baby?: creme brûlée (yum!)
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Pink
Any Upcoming Appointments?: anatomy scan on 2/20, already!
Symptoms: feeling movements and just generally achey; alternating between starving and feeling over-full
Milestones: Already looking about as big as I was at 7 months with the 1st, thanks kids for stretching everything out. We need to start a bump day thread soon.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: lost about 20 lbs in the 1st 6 weeks after I found out I was pregnant....had a bunch of extra weight, so I figured I’d just try to eat healthy and portion control and it came off quicker than expected. Then I got some screwy labs (high liver enzymes, protein and ketones in urine) that had the doctors worrying about all sorts of pregnancy related things. So I went back to eating normally and tests run last week all came back normal (yay).
GTKY: What weird food combinations do you really enjoy? chicken McNuggets with pure honey - my husband thinks I’m nuts but he’s 6 yrs younger so doesn’t remember when the only dipping options were honey, Polynesian and bbq.

When is your due date? How far along are you? :
8/23 - 12 weeks tomorrow
How big is baby?:
Clementine
FTM/STM/TTM/etc:
STM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?:
Won't know until 20 weeks
Any Upcoming Appointments?:
Next Monday
Symptoms:
Bloat and generally just feel gross from time to time. Sometimes it's an icky stomach, sometimes it's a headache, sometimes it's major food aversions or nausea, etc.
Milestones:
12 weeks tomorrow! Almost to 2nd tri.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?:
Not really. I was super careful about what I'd been eating up until a couple of weeks ago. I think it was helping me feel pretty good. Now that I relaxed a bit, I'm feeling some of the icky symptoms I wasn't before.
GTKY: What weird food combinations do you really enjoy?
I grew up in a very diverse household. My mom is Chinese and my dad is Sri Lankan so we ate a lot of Chinese food and curry. Living in America, I'm sure it would seem weird to others what we ate but I find myself craving some of those things.

But you have to make sire they don't give you honey mustard instead of real honey. I live in the south so they always have honey on hand for biscuits. They do try to give yucky honey mustard at least half the time but I’ve never been to one where they don’t actually have honey. It is the only way I’ll eat McDonald’s nuggets! |

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?:
I found the HB with my doppler almost immediately last night so that was fabulous. I'm going to use it just once a week from now on. I'm hoping to figure out at my appt today when MH can get blood drawn for carrier screening. He will have to have the full panel done in order to see if he's a carrier for primary hyperoxaluria type 1.
GTKY: What weird food combinations do you really enjoy?
I'm a food mixer. At Thanksgiving I love to have bites that include mashed potatoes/dressing/turkey/green bean casserole all at once. I also mix up my hashbrowns and over medium fried eggs. Then I top that with some hot sauce.

I just remember her saying the drs told her to plan for about 36 weeks and then they let them stay in longer because they were doing well. |
