Don’t mind me... procrastinating until lunch. lol.
When is your due date? How far along are you? December 12-ish. 10 weeks, 5 days.
How big is baby? Kumquat
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out
Any Upcoming Appointments? Tomorrow is my long OB Nurse interview / Check-in / I don’t even know.
Symptoms? Sore boobs that hate bras. Can’t eat big meals without crazy stomach pains / trapped gas. Ick.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I don’t remember this long appointment the first time around. Anyone have insight? Just a million questions, get appointments scheduled, blood work ordered, etc.? Since it’s with a nurse, I’m nervous that’ll mean no u/s or heartbeat check. Can a doppler pick up this early? Clearly I’m not good at not knowing what to expect.
GTKY: Do you have a random / special talent? If so, what is it? I came up with this question and don’t have an answer for it. 🤷🏻♀️

quijibo my interview appt was also the one at which they did the dating ultrasound. But, I’ve never gone in for an OB visit (after initial blood work) and not had them at least do a Doppler for the HB so maybe they’ll just do that if you’ve already had your dating u/s.

Due date: 11/1, I’m 16&4
Size: dill pickle
Finding out: not sure! We decided we are going to have the u/s tech write it down. Then we can decide anytime later in the pregnancy whether we want to know. I kinda want to get a babysitter, go out for a nice dinner, and open it together.
Upcoming appts: 1 month until my a/s. I had to push it back a week because of schedule conflicts.
Symptoms: I’m not having a lot. I am definitely bigger in the midsection, but not in a cute pregnant-looking way. So I’m just hiding under baggy stuff feeling frumpy.
Rants/raves/AW: I’ve been struggling emotionally this pregnancy. It’s not something I went thru with my first pregnancy. If it persists, I’ll be talking to my doc about it... I am afraid of developing PPD after delivery. Like, do I have.... pre-PPD? Idk.
GTKY: umm a weird talent... I am really good at the game Memory. Idk haha.

When is your due date? How far along are you? Either 12/30 or 1/4. First is by lmp, second by what I measured last week. Today at my appt I measured 7w4d. So somewhere between that and 8/1. They won't give me a straight answer on what they are sticking with!
How big is baby? Kidney bean
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out
Any Upcoming Appointments? UtS this morning! HB 168n and 8 days of growth in 7 days. Another u/s next Tuesday.
Symptoms? The worst nausea of my life. Feel like I have a perpetual stomach virus. Diclegis is helping a bit, but the evenings are unbearable. The dr suggesting upping the dose a bit.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Just the nausea! This is my 4th pregnancy and I have never experienced anything like this before.
GTKY: Do you have a random / special talent? If so, what is it? Not random, but, i sing? I guess that's a talent?

quijibo I ended up having my intake appt over the phone because they had to cancel my appt. It was supposed to be like 30 minutes intake and then my first midwife appt right after which was the physical exam, bloodwork, etc. The phone appt was a bunch of health history stuff to start my file, emergency contact info, etc. I changed practices, so I don't know if it's just practice-specific or what. My last practice I just saw the midwife and she took all the info, although it was a longer appointment for sure. I don't think most OBs/MWs will use the doppler at 10 weeks because it can be hard to find a heartbeat, which is obviously stressful. I know this time, I got the dating ultrasound right after my first appt at 10 weeks and then they did the doppler at 14.

Dramaphile that was rude! I would be so annoyed! I've had good luck on Thred Up! I'll check that out, I hate buying stuff without trying it on, but at least there's more room in Maternity tops and dresses. Might also ask around my local mommy page if anyone wants to sell theirs (people put maternity clothes up all the time, but they're always small or medium and I'm definitely not). |

Dramaphile, I’ve had good luck with walmart.com for maternity. They carry a bunch of different brands and sizes, the prices are low, and if you select no-rush on the free shipping, they discount your order even further. Also, some of the children’s consignment shops have maternity sections.

Most of my maternity clothes are from Old Navy. It's a bit of a pain since it's only online, but the returns are super easy - just pack them back in the bag and drop off with ups. I usually order things in a couple of sizes to try on for size. |

When is your due date? How far along are you? December 5th. 12 weeks yessssssssssssssssssssssss.
How big is baby? A lime. I want a margarita.
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out.
Any Upcoming Appointments? I have an appointment tomorrow to go over blood work from last week.
Symptoms? Nausea is still hanging on in the evenings but it's not as bad.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? We listed our house yesterday and already have 4 showings. Our realtor thinks it will go quick and I tend to agree, the market is crazy right now. We are moving back in with my mom to save money because student loans and two kids in daycare, bye savings. It's actually going to be a really good situation. Her house is big, and there's a lot of land for N to run around. It's quieter than our neighborhood and closer to my work, but further from daycare. It's okay though. I am looking forward to it. I will miss our house since it was N's first home. Sentimental and all that.
GTKY: Do you have a random / special talent? If so, what is it? I am good at soccer, not so random. I guess my random one is that I can touch my nose with my tongue. Lolz.

How big is baby? I think apricot this week
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Blue
Any Upcoming Appointments? Just had an OB appointment this morning, perfect heartbeat around 150, and otherwise short and boring! Next appointment isn't until 6/21.
Symptoms? I'm feeling light-headed in the mornings and some evenings. My OB told me to eat more protein, which is probably a good idea since all I've been wanting is carbs. Also, my belly is really starting to protrude. It still looks more like I ate too much than a baby bump, but it's growing.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?It was just a relief to hear the heartbeat. I feel like now that we're on the cusp of second tri and had a good appointment, I can finally start to breathe a little and get ready to meet this little boy in November.
GTKY: Do you have a random / special talent? If so, what is it? I can't really think of anything... I'm a pretty good baker.

How big is baby? Cardinal tetra fish
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out
Any Upcoming Appointments? None til June
Symptoms? My appetite is still pretty terrible and I'm having some constipation on top of it. Blah.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I'm feeling a little more anxiety with this baby than with my previous two. I think the fact that we didn't want a third child is actually making me freak out more about something happening to the baby because then I feel guilty, if that makes sense. Can't wait for my next appointment to hear the heartbeat.
GTKY: Do you have a random / special talent? If so, what is it? I make really good cheesecakes. I've been told many times that I should sell them.

How big is baby? Wild Strawberry
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out
Any Upcoming Appointments? Tomorrow have my initial OB appointment with the NP. I am not sure if they will do US or not. I hope they do so I can see the little bean again.
Symptoms? Nauseous after eating, sore boobs, tired.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I've told most of my close friends/family and I was happy/excited to do so but for some reason the thought of telling everyone else (other family, friends, work etc) is so overwhelming. I was so so excited my pregnancy with DS but it is just much harder for me this go around. I'll need to get over it eventually. I already am having a hard time fitting into my pants.
GTKY: Do you have a random / special talent? If so, what is it? Memorizing numbers. I can memorize numbers like crazy. We have a list of over 1,000 parts in our inventory and if you give me a description I can list the part number.

Is it sad that I'm most excited about finding out the baby's sex in two weeks because then I can finally go through the billion tubs of baby clothes I have and get rid of the ones we won't need? I got tons of girl clothes from friends when my daughter was a baby and my BFF has been giving me tubs of her son's clothes as he grows out of them and they are taking up so much space!

Any Upcoming Appointments? A/s on June 13
Symptoms? Feel crappy all the time - one thing or another
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? So apparently a coworker said something to another one about me being pregnant, his response was something along the lines of 'oh good, I was worried about her health for gaining weight so quickly' 🤣
She told me about this today so I obviously had to go make fun of him for the comment... but also I have gained a toooon of weight.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I feel like I got so many more ultrasounds with my first kiddo. I guess that’s the difference between small town OB practices and Vanderbilt? My Doppler is bringing me a lot of relief.
GTKY: Do you have a random / special talent? If so, what is it? Not really...I can tap dance?
