When is your due date? How far along are you?: 9/1. 12w3d.
How big is baby?: a couple inches, about the size of a lime.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: 4th
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: green....but my husband actually mentioned finding out so we can start getting rid of clothes we don't need. We haven't really discussed it though.
Any Upcoming Appointments?: Not until 3/15.
Symptoms: The nausea is finally subsiding. The fatigue hit strong the past week.
Milestones: Heard the heartbeat at my 12 week appointment last week!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: My husband arbitrarily started transitioning our 4.5 year old to a basement bedroom. I thought we were getting bunk beds and putting three kids in one room upstairs. I don't know how I feel about the transition. I almost just want to move the 3 year old downstairs into the other bedroom to avoid this transition again in a few years if we're not doing bunk beds. I should talk to my husband about this to decide if we're really moving DS1 downstairs.
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress? No favorite. Not a fan of comedians like Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler though.

When is your due date? How far along are you?: 8/2 16+5
How big is baby?: Avocado
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: 2nd
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Blue
Any Upcoming Appointments?: Not until 3/15.
Symptoms: I think RLP - just on my left side, though. So weird, just stretching/tight feeling a lot. Still nauseated, too.
Milestones: I think my belly finally "popped". Not into the maternity clothes yet, though. I started in maternity clothes at about 20 weeks with DD, so I'll be happy if I can make it to 18 with this one. We also bought a onesie for #2 (DS is too weird to type still!) when we were out shopping - give me all the dinosaur clothes!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I'd really like the nausea to go away now. My body is so chemically different with a boy pregnancy than it was with a girl pregnancy.
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress? I have loved Ryan Reynolds for a long time. Not that he's the best actor, but I like to look at him, and I think he's funny IRL.

ohreally nooo you are my team green buddy! 😉 I know! I'm so convinced it's a girl that I told DH that we don't need to bother "finding out". He said we should just get confirmation before getting rid of boys clothes. We have a couple months to decide. I'm so stubborn that I don't know if I can allow myself to find out this time when we never have before.

potatocakes, I don't know how you do it. I was so relieved to tell my coworkers yesterday so I could wear maternity clothes and not worry about trying to hide the bump. I've been wearing maternity pants for weeks though for comfort. The dino clothes always get me too. DS2 came home in a dino outfit.

I've been wearing maternity pants for weeks though for comfort. The dino clothes always get me too. DS2 came home in a dino outfit. I'm not particularly short (5'6"), so I have some space for baby to be, and I carry my extra weight in my stomach anyway, so my clothes are pretty accommodating, though some shirts are too short, and some pants are starting to be uncomfortable by the end of the day. My only other pregnancy was also over 3.5 years ago, and most of my parts went back where they were to begin with, or at least as close as they're gonna get!

When is your due date? How far along are you? : Aug 28, 13 weeks
How big is baby?: jalapeno
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: blue
Any Upcoming Appointments?: Not until March!
Symptoms: Still nauseous some days. Still a few taste aversions. So very tired still.
Milestones: I thought today marked the end of first tri but my app tells me that's next week, so no.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: We had a scare with first tri screening and had to go for more testing but everything turned out okay! We found out the sex and it kind of set of an argument about baby names but since it's still so early we decided to let it go and come back to it later.
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress? Hmm...this is tough. I have a soft spot for Alicia Silverstone because of Clueless and Reese Witherspoon because of Legally Blonde. I clearly have excellent taste in movies.

vvvvvfee, yup. It started later in my first pregnancy, but it's the same thing. Basically, your heart is working overtime to accommodate your blood volume increasing and some women's bodies suck at accommodating lol. It started around 9 weeks for me this time. I have to pause halfway up the stairs sometimes because I feel like my heart might explode.

I feel like I'm always winded from the simplest things.

When is your due date? How far along are you? : 7/17, 19w
How big is baby?: zucchini
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: pink
Any Upcoming Appointments?: 3/1 for 20w checkup and early 1hr GD testing; anatomy scan was this morning!
Symptoms: nothing new
Milestones: baby measured perfectly at 19w 1d, dd of 7/16, exactly the same date that came up in the 12w scan, so yay for not getting significantly bigger in the last 6w.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: My “official” due date is still listed as 7/25 despite everything else lining up perfectly with my original estimate of 7/17. So one single measurement (dating u/s) that likely had some human error and that’s what they go with. I know that a later due date is better from an induction perspective, but I dread heading into the second half of pregnancy with a baby that is too large for the due date. With my personal and family history of GD, I know I will have it again and the drs will be questioning my control of my numbers every appointment (that happened with DS and he was 8lb12.5oz with weight as his lowest percentile). I would rather have the accurate date estimate instead of being continuously shamed for everything I’m eating even when I’m super careful. My husband is a large man (his dr told him his goal weight is 250 based on height and build) so he is going to make large babies. GD is difficult enough to deal with as it is. Sorry, rant over!
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress? Does Justin Timberlake count as an actor? Love him, especially when doing skits with Jimmy Fallon. I like Claire Danes and Keira Knightly too.

It's kind of crazy that there are three FOUR of us with the same due date considering how small this group is. vvvvvfee , so far Omeprazole is controlling my reflux. It got so bad with DS1, I was on three medications and still choking on stomach acid at night. I'm also easily winded especially going up the stairs.

PennyCandy, I was thinking that too! I calculated my due date as 7/10, based on my charts and when I ovulated, so I'm curious if 7/17 is actually right. I'm pretty sure I was right with my due date with DD (8/3), but they had me down as a week later (8/10). I gave birth a week early to a 9lb baby. I can't imagine if I had gone a week longer.

PennyCandy, i've been taking zantac twice a day, but i don't know how much it's helping. i tend to have more of the silent reflux symptoms (shortness of breath/irritated throat/post-nasal drip) rather than traditional heartburn symptoms, and i don't know how much the PPIs can really help with that. :/ i'm doing a bunch of lifestyle adjustments, too. blehhhhh. thanks for commiserating with me.

GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress? It's a toss up between Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Will Smith. I don't think I have a favorite actress.

My kids were both a week early also and the second was close to 9lb. I’m glad that this one didn’t increase in size between 13 and 19 weeks, makes me hopeful she won’t be quite as big.

vvvvvfee I’m sorry the heartburn is so bad. The Prilosec changed my life once I started taking it correctly (apparently it is most effective if taken first thing in the morning followed by a breakfast with protein). I hope you find something that works for you.

sasam, I had to do a 24hr urine collection too, around New Years. Protein levels came back in the normal range but enough was present that now I’m taking a baby aspirin daily. My BP was normal last appointment which is almost unheard of for me at a dr appt (I usually have a borderline high reading then it goes down to normal later in the appt). It was a pain to do the collection, but at least we found out it wasn’t a serious problem and that there was a simple treatment.
