hen is your due date? How far along are you?: 7/17, 22w tomorrow
How big is baby?: spaghetti squash
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Blue
Any Upcoming Appointments?: Not until the 26th
Symptoms: Mostly just tired.
Milestones: None this week. Getting closer to viability
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: My joints hurt sometimes. My right hip and right middle finger are consistently sore, but sometimes my shoulders, knees, and wrists hurt too. I don't recall having joint pain the last time and I haven't gained much weight at all so I don't think that's what would be causing it. I'll mention it at my next appointment.
GTKY: What is your dream vacation? If money/time/etc isn't an issue. I've always wanted to go to Australia/New Zealand.

When is your due date? How far along are you?: August 9, 18+4
How big is baby?: Sweet potato
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: pink!
Any Upcoming Appointments?: Anatomy scan on the 20th
Symptoms: Heartburn, SPD pain, and lack of patience/always grumpy. Haha.
Milestones: I finally have started feeling movement! With my last 2 I felt it way earlier so I was concerned, but turns out I have anterior placenta so that explains why I’m feeling less this time.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?:
GTKY: What is your dream vacation? If money/time/etc isn't an issue. We actually just got back from our dream trip, which was touring New Zealand in a camper van. It was amazing! Now I’d love to visit Tahiti/Bora Bora.

When is your due date? How far along are you?: 9/1. 15w2d
How big is baby?: apple
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: 4th
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Green. Watching Call the Midwife has really helped me remain steadfast with this decision. All those women had to wait until delivery and so can I! I'm definitely grateful for ultrasounds though. I just can't imagine not having the ability to potentially know about fatal or life-altering conditions until birth.
Any Upcoming Appointments?: This Thursday!
Symptoms: Growing belly is about it. Food aversions have mostly disappeared.
Milestones: Another week down! I think I'm feeling movement too.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I'm in the "honeymoon" phase of pregnancy right now. Nauseas is gone and, in general, I don't feel pregnant. I'm trying to enjoy it while it lasts because this phase seems to get shorter and shorter with each pregnancy.
GTKY: What is your dream vacation? If money/time/etc isn't an issue. My parents travel the world. They are on a trip to Brazil, Argentina, and Chile right now actually. Of all the places they've been, Galapagos Islands is one place that's always stuck out at me as I place I'd like to visit. New Zealand is near the top of the list as well.

And he wasn't trying to get any either. Lol. It cheered me up after my family drama bothered me all day. GTKY: What is your dream vacation? If money/time/etc isn't an issue. Europe- just traveling all over.

When is your due date? How far along are you?: 7/17, 21 weeks, 6 days
How big is baby?: Today, carrot, tomorrow, spaghetti squash. these vegetable comparisons make no sense to me at all.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Team Green
Any Upcoming Appointments?: 24 week appt on 3/30
Symptoms: Sore nipples, hip pain. I have been having a sore throat on and off- usually in the morning. I'm assuming it's due to some combo of reflux, post-nasal drip, and super-dry winter air.
Milestones: None
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I don't know how we're going to come up with another boy name. Neither of us likes anything and it gets harder with each kid because the names all have to sound ok together. ughhhhh.
GTKY: What is your dream vacation? If money/time/etc isn't an issue. Italy, South Korea, Thailand/Vietnam. Food is a primary attraction when traveling, lol. I agree the Galapagos would also be awesome. We'd also like to go to some of the big national parks out West that we haven't visited- Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier, etc.

How big is baby?: a large mango
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Blue
Any Upcoming Appointments?: Anatomy Scan this afternoon! Excited for DD to see her baby brother!
Symptoms: Still nauseous without meds, some soreness at the end of most days, huffing and puffing to keep up with H on walks.
Milestones: Feeling so close to halfway! I also think my doctor kept my due date at 7/28 per original estimates, so on the books I'm there, but I don't think I'll have this guy until August.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: Edit to add my question - is anyone else leaking colostrum? I have several months left, but have seen/been able to express colostrum daily. It's been more than 18 months since I nursed DD, so I was surprised. I keep having really full feelings in my boobs too. So weird.
GTKY: What is your dream vacation? If money/time/etc isn't an issue. Right now, laying on a beach somewhere for a week or so, in my imaginary world where I don't need sunscreen, childcare, or for H to enjoy the vacation.

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Don't know
Any Upcoming Appointments?: Ultrasound tomorrow!
Symptoms: Most everything is starting to ease off. Getting some energy back finally. Heartburn is becoming more frequent and I am noticing a lot more nasal congestion, though.
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: Curious to see if they can tell the sex of the baby at tomorrow's ultrasound. If they can, I will see if they can write it down for me since DH can't be there. Otherwise, we'll probably wait until our anatomy scan on April 3.
GTKY: What is your dream vacation? If money/time/etc isn't an issue. I would jet of to the UK all the time! I went to Edinburgh twice last year and loved it! I would like to see other parts of the UK, but I would probably just spend a ton of time in Scotland.

How big is baby?: no idea
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: pink
Any Upcoming Appointments?: Tomorrow is our a/s. Can't wait to see the little peanut!
Symptoms: Not too many going on, besides my sciatica already flaring up. It's an old dance injury, so it's easily aggravated.
Milestones: almost at viability.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I think the toddler knows what's up now. She's been unusually clingy recently.
GTKY: What is your dream vacation? If money/time/etc isn't an issue. New Zealand. Peru. Thailand. Ireland. Italy. Me and H were supposed to go backpacking through Europe when he got out of the Navy, buuuuuuut DD decided to pop up instead. It's still on my bucket list.

potatocakes , with DD, I started leaking somewhere around 18/19 weeks. I freaked out so much haha. Haven't started yet with this one, which is odd, since I just quit nursing a month ago. Pregnancy is weird. But my boobs feel super full and heavy and I am waaay too aware of my nipples.

How big is baby?: dill pickle, but last week was an avocado and in my world avocados are much bigger than dill pickles so I'm confused.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: blue
Any Upcoming Appointments?: not until April
Symptoms: tired, nausea some days, heartburn is starting
Milestones: I think I might have felt movement the other day
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: nothing right now
GTKY: What is your dream vacation? If money/time/etc isn't an issue. So my H and I actually don't like to travel. I find airports a giant PITA and we are both tall and don't really fit on airplanes and I like my own bed. However, if I could magically not have DD around, it would be cool to go hike part of the Appalachian Trail. We used to backpack before DD was born, and will probably pick it back up when the kiddos are older. I don't think I want to do the whole trail though, just part of it.

GTKY: What is your dream vacation? If money/time/etc isn't an issue. It's so hard to choose! I would love to visit Italy, Spain, Australia, Africa, India and Egypt.

potatocakes I have colostrum. I first noticed a couple weeks ago. Mine doesn't leak though, I have to squeeze my boobs to get it out. 🙈 My little sister leaked from 18 weeks on. Like, had to use nursing pads and leaked through shirts. It's normal! I noticed it earlier with DS too.

imapenguin how do you know which baby is kicking you? Or do they stay on the same side more or less so you know who is where? I have no idea. Well, I have pretty regular ultrasounds, so I get updated on their positions a lot, lol. But mostly they stay in the same spot and they are more right on top of each other than right and left, so anything low is baby A and anything higher is baby b. They told me that their umbilical cords are attached to my placenta one over the other too and they’ll stay as close to those points as they can, so that up and down position likely won’t change.

imapenguin maybe stupid question but how do you tell when a kick is baby B or A? location. Baby b is a lot higher than baby A. I’m sure as they get bigger it will be hard to differentiate, but right now there’s a lot of space between them.

potatocakes DD is 5.5 and I can squeeze out some colostrum too. It's relatively common. I also have a producing milk duct in my armpit that I have to massage and sometimes squeeze a little in the shower. Totally gross, but late in PG and while I was nursing DD I could squeeze it and literally shoot milk across the room
