When is your due date? How far along are you? 11/29, 11+5 today
How big is baby? A Brussels sprout
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Team blue
Any Upcoming Appointments? Next OB appointment is 5/22
Symptoms? I woke up this morning nauseated and with a pounding headache, after having felt better the last few weeks. I'm hoping it's just from sleeping terribly last night.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I've fully weaned off all my meds! It's been sooooooo nice not having to do a daily shot the last few days. It also feels like a milestone in the pregnancy - I'm able to feel a little more comfortable in it.
GTKY: What is something you've done that you are very proud of? In college, I was very involved in our dance marathon that raised money for pediatric AIDS. I was a dancer one year, stayed on my feet and awake for 36 hours, and raised the most money. My senior year I was on the chair committee and we raised over $50,000.00. That, and also raising a pretty fantastic almost three year old.

When is your due date? How far along are you? 16 weeks today! 10/30
How big is baby? Dill Pickle/Can of soda
Team Finding Out / Team Green? finding out June 5
Any Upcoming Appointments? Anatomy Scan/19 week checkup June 5
Symptoms? Heartburn, sciatica
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? AW: My kid is so freaking cute talking about the baby. Last night, she declared "I have a baby sister in my belly!" and says her dolls have babies in their bellies, too. And this morning, she climbed into bed with me and was all sweet and cuddly and asked "You have a baby in your belly?" and I said "yup!" and she smiled so big and gave me a kiss.
GTKY: What is something you've done that you are very proud of? I do graphic design/art as a hobby and designed the logo for our soccer organization and several scarves and banners. It's so cool to see something you designed on a t shirt or a scarf that someone is wearing, or on a giant banner going up in a stadium to show your support for the team.

When is your due date? How far along are you? December 5th, 11 weeks. How big is baby? Lime. Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out. Any Upcoming Appointments? NT scan tomorrow!  Symptoms? Nausea is back. Fatigue. Sore boobs. The usual. Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Last night my almost 3-year-old lifted up my shirt to see my belly. I told him it's going to get bigger as the baby grows, and he said "yeah and the boobas too!" LOL I DIED. GTKY: What is something you've done that you are very proud of? I am proud of how far I have come in my current job. I came into the industry 3 years ago with no experience and I actually know a lot about certain aspects of mechanical construction now. And I got a promotion back in October and a hefty pay raise. It's okay to get out of your comfort zone sometimes. |

When is your due date? How far along are you? December 17, 9 + 1
How big is baby? Eastern tailed-blue butterfly or a southern pecan.
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out
Any Upcoming Appointments? None til June
Symptoms? Most of my symptoms have abated for now.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? We told our girls last week, knowing it would mean our secret was out but hoping they wouldn't tell everyone we run into. My 7-year old came home from school Friday and proudly announced that she told everyone she knows about the baby. She also now asks me every morning, "how's that baby doing in your belly?"
GTKY: What is something you've done that you are very proud of? - I finally finished my bachelor's degree and with a 4.0 gpa. This past weekend was my graduation. I'm proud that I was able to finish while working full time and taking care of my two girls with all their extracurriculars as well.

When is your due date? How far along are you? 12/27-1/7 will most likely have rcs on 12/31. Anywhere from 6-7 weeks after a confusing dating scan!
How big is baby? Blueberry
Team Finding Out / Team Green? We will most likely find out.
Any Upcoming Appointments? 6/11 next appt
Symptoms? Boobs hurt soooo bad! Some slight nausea that comes and goes.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? PGAL really sucks.
GTKY: What is something you've done that you are very proud of? I just hit a milestone of 3 years of breastfeeding with my DS. When he was a newborn, I never thought we would make it this long. He is very resistant to giving up his before bed nursing so I don't really see an end in sight for now.

Due date: 11/1, I’m 15&5
Size: avocado?
Team finding out/team green? I don’t know anymore 😬 but my anatomy scan is not until 21 weeks so I have time.
Upcoming appts: Thursday I meet the NP that I will be seeing for at least half of my appts. I assume it’s just gonna be a quick HB check on the doppler.
Symptoms: none, really. Last week I was pretty certain I felt movement. I have felt nothing the past several days and now I feel worried. Which is irrational, as I’m not yet 16w and I know feeling any movement at this point can be completely sporadic. I’ll just feel good once I can hear the HB Thursday.
Rants/Raves/AW/Q’s: I am sick and feel like absolute shit. It sucks not being able to take the good medicines. DS was sick last week and home from DC several days, now I feel like absolute garbage... juggling work is feeling impossible. I’m a negative Nancy right now.
GTKY: hmmm my driving record? I haven’t ever had an accident, and it’s been 10 years since I got a ticket.

When is your due date? How far along are you? 12/5 11weeks
How big is baby? Fig
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Team Pink
Any Upcoming Appointments? Thursday my 12w check up a bit early.
Symptoms? Exhaustion, Nausea, Vomitting
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? We're going to Disneyland this weekend and I really hope I keep down my favorite Disney food, Dole Whip. It's also been 9 months since we left CA sooooo I may gorge myself on protein style double doubles.
GTKY: What is something you've done that you are very proud of? Being selfish and leaving my life in CO to start a new life in CA with my H. It probably seems odd, but it was the absolute best thing for me even if it wasn't for the people around me.

Symptoms? My nausea and tiredness seem to be getting better finally

GTKY: What is something you've done that you are very proud of? Got an engineering degree and moved to a city where I didn’t know anyone to start my first job. It worked out well, I met MH and we’re still here 11+ years later!

When is your due date? How far along are you? December 12. 9 weeks, 6 days.
How big is baby? Green Olive
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out.
Any Upcoming Appointments? OB nurse interview / get all my ducks in a row thing next Tuesday.
Symptoms? Horrible trapped gas and general poop issues. My poor belly is so sad.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? The gagging at certain textures of foods and smells, and when brushing my teeth, is something else.
GTKY: What is something you've done that you are very proud of? Graduated from college, full-time job, successfully living on my own since 17 (well, on my own with my now H), pretty great mom to DD. I’m a productive member of society despite a pretty traumatic upbringing due to an alcoholic mother, who has since passed away. I could have continued the cycle, but I did not. Woo!

When is your due date? How far along are you? Dec 7, 10+4
How big is baby? LEGO figure
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out soon
Any Upcoming Appointments? Had my weekly ultrasound today
Symptoms? Still nauseous although getting a little better.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I just got a call that my sch is getting ‘thicker’ so I’m a little upset. I really want to be out of this limbo. Baby looks great otherwise so it’ll kill me if this thing causes any issues.
GTKY: What is something you've done that you are very proud of? I’m a little numb right now so I can’t think of much. Something I can think of is standing up to some bad friends recently. That may not seem like much but I think my days of being a pushover are gone.

How big is baby? Peach? I think?
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out
Any Upcoming Appointments? Not until June unless I can get in with a different practice
Symptoms? Exhaustion
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I’m so done with my OB office. I had my NT ultrasound and only found out I have an SCH from reading notes on my online file. They never told me and have yet to return my calls. I had a pretty bad one with DS and I’m freaked out and mad.
GTKY: What is something you've done that you are very proud of?
Getting out of my hometown and the toxic environment. That was my only goal growing up and it felt so good to actually do it. I love where I live now and have no plans to leave.

Here’s a random question - where do you all find interesting “how big is baby” comparisons? I’ve been getting mine from the Babycenter app which is mostly fruits and vegetables. I also get the Pregnant Chicken e-mails but she typically doesn’t include baby size every week.

I’m sorry you had to find that information out on your own Dr. Cox. Hopefully it’s just a small one that’s nothing to worry about. emilypk I use Ovia too. |

Yes, but the office that delivers at my hospital can’t get me in for another month. Which is not that bad considering I would only have one more appointment at my current place. We’re on the waiting list with the new OB, so maybe we can get in sooner. |

I go between that and Ovia and decide which one I like best. |

I love reading what everyone is proud of - there are some very impressive women on this board :-)
When is your due date? How far along are you? Nov 8th, 15 weeks tomorrow

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? DD is starting to notice my bump and she's touching it a lot. One day she was looking at my belly while snuggling on the couch, then spoke into my boob as if it was a telephone to my belly saying "Who's in there??"
GTKY: What is something you've done that you are very proud of? Earning my doctorate, and then a few years later getting an additional board certification (only 20 people or so in the state have it) so I feel very accomplished in my profession. I'm also really proud I've still managed to climb the ladder and meet all of my professional goals after becoming a mom. I love that I get to do both!
