[quijibo]

I goofed on the date and Tapa is all, “YOU SHALL NOT CHANGE.” Meh.

[quijibo]

When is your due date? How far along are you? December 12. 12 weeks, 5 days.

How big is baby? Clementine.

Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out.

Any Upcoming Appointments? N/T is tomorrow! And then a regular office visit on Thursday. And, if all goes well, we will announce!

Symptoms? The puking has arrived. What in the ever loving hell? Not cool, Thing 3. Not cool. We’re almost 13 weeks. That ship should have sailed.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? H and I can’t go a day without someone asking about a sibling for M. It feels really gross and makes me uncomfortable. We’ll tell you when it happens if it happens. Stop bossing around my uterus. Also, we want to do a nice announcement. It’s hard to keep a secret when questions are coming from every direction. Don’t ruin this for me!

GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, no worries about money or anything like that, where would that be? I don’t really have an urge to move. If I absolutely had to, probably Denver, Colorado. I love that area / state. I know, boring.

[jillywilly]

When is your due date? How far along are you? 11/29; 14+3

How big is baby? A beet

Team Finding Out / Team Green? Blue

Any Upcoming Appointments? Next regular OB check; 6/22

Symptoms? My bloat is starting to become more bump-ish, still get hit by being completely exhausted, though it's getting better.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I'm just happy to finally officially be in second tri! I'm also trying to find a balance between wanting to buy a bunch of new maternity clothes because my old ones have seen better days (and I was pregnant mostly in the winter), and not wanting to spend too much money because this is our last baby.

GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, no worries about money or anything like that, where would that be? Probably Aruba, though I think eventually mayyyyybe I'd miss winter? I actually really like where we live, though and don't see us moving unless some once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came up.

[LoisLoan]

When is your due date? How far along are you? December 17, 12 weeks today.

How big is baby? Roborovski hamster or a toy soldier

Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out

Any Upcoming Appointments? 12 week checkup tomorrow, looking forward to hearing the heartbeat

Symptoms? My symptoms have mostly abated except for being a little more tired than usual.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Can't really think of anything right now.

GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, no worries about money or anything like that, where would that be? Probably somewhere warm all year round with gorgeous beaches.

[summerrain]

When is your due date? How far along are you? 12/7, 13+3

How big is baby? Jalapeño

Team Finding Out / Team Green? Blue

Any Upcoming Appointments? Just had an appointment today

Symptoms? Still nauseous and tired. I’m over it.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I feel like I always rant, but I’m just upset. My doctor said normally the sch should have resolved itself by now, but it’s still huge. And now they also found I have complete placenta previa which should resolve, but due to the size and nature of my unbudging sch she is afraid it might not. I bled a ton this weekend on my trip and it’s just so hard. I just want to go to the gym and have sex with my H again.

GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, no worries about money or anything like that, where would that be?
Before this weekend I would always choose Denver, but Lake Tahoe just went to the top of my list. It was so beautiful . We even looked at buying a place where we were with our extended family since everyone loved it so much.

Heartburn

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?

We have been trying to move to Germany for a few years now through MH’s job so hopefully that eventually works out!

[letsgetphysio]

When is your due date? How far along are you? Nov 8th, 17w4d

How big is baby? Onion

Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out!

Any Upcoming Appointments? AS on Tuesday the 12th!! So excited!!!

Symptoms? Starting to really feel pregnant when getting up from the floor or laying down. I’ve fully embraced the bump and stopped wearing flowy tops. Strangers can now tell I’m pregnant.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? My DD keeps saying she also had a baby in her belly button...not yet, kid!!

GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, no worries about money or anything like that, where would that be? I love where I live and it’s a pretty desirable area (Colorado) so the only thing I’d want would be a summer lake house in the finger lakes.

[charlotte]

Due date: 11/1 I think I am 18&4

Size: sweet potato

Finding out or team green: I think we will find out, but not at the A/S. We will have have the tech write it down and open it privately.

Upcoming appts: A/S at 21 weeks

Symptoms: I’m not sure! I feel okay. The constant stand-up sit-down due to my 3-year-olds demands is kind of exhausting with a little bit of a belly. Also not loving dealing with the heat.

Rants/raves/questions:
Hmm not much going on. I bought a couple of onesies— first thing purchased for this baby. After the A/S I’ll start worrying about bigger purchases like a car seat and stuff. Although, we have the majority of what we need from DS. I only kept the clothing I really liked though, so I’ll get to buy some more.

GTKY: I’m not sure that I realistically know what it’s like to live anywhere I haven’t lived already so I’m just talking out of my ass lol. But maybe the Oregon coast? There is a resort in Bali I want to vacation at— maybe they would let me just live there 😂.

[lolacachia]

When is your due date? How far along are you? 1/3 9.5 weeks RCS 12/28

How big is baby? As big as a jack

Team Finding Out / Team Green? Pretty sure we are finding out

Any Upcoming Appointments? Had an appt today, next is 7/19

Symptoms? Bad nausea and food aversion to anything but carbs and crap

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I hate insurance.

GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, no worries about money or anything like that, where would that be? Germany or Charleston SC

[sapatos]

When is your due date? How far along are you?

11/25, 15+1

How big is baby? An avocado or an apple, depending on who you ask.

Team Finding Out / Team Green?

Team Blue, per my NIPT results

Any Upcoming Appointments?

Next week check up, if I don’t cave and beg to be seen sooner

Symptoms?

Serious rhinitis, incontinence, nausea, vomiting multiple times daily, congestion/chest congestion. What can I say? I’m attractive AF.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?

I think I’m right on the line of HG. I’m debating calling my doctor and begging to be seen this week.

GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, no worries about money or anything like that, where would that be?

I’d probably live in the same general area I live in now, but if money were no object, I’d also buy a place in New York, maybe DC, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

[Dr. Cox]

sapatos, I’m so sorry for the possible HG, that seems absolutely miserable. I hope you can get some relief soon.

[jorkzy]

When is your due date? How far along are you?
Dec 9, so 13+1 today.

How big is baby?
It was about 3 inches long on the NT ultrasound last week.

Team Finding Out / Team Green?
My h wants to find out but I'm holding strong for green. We found out with the first 2, and also he really wants to start purging either boy or girl stuff from storage. I figure he can wait 6 months to do so.

Any Upcoming Appointments?
OB on Wednesday. It's not a normal week for check up but she wanted to wait to get the NIPT andNT screening back before doing a full initial prenatal so I guess we'll do that then.

Symptoms?
Minor nausea and smell aversion. Much better than before.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
NIPT and NT came back low risk last week so that was a relief.

GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, no worries about money or anything like that, where would that be?
I really like Vancouver but of course $$$$. I don't think I could leave Canada but a summer place here and a winter place somewhere tropical and beach would be just fine.

[notelsie]

I don’t think I’ve done one of these in awhile!

When is your due date? How far along are you? 10/31 almost 19w

How big is baby? About mango sized

Team Finding Out / Team Green? Team BLUE! I think I mentioned we are naming him Lucas? We are still struggling with a middle name, but we have time. Lol

Any Upcoming Appointments? 20w AS on the 12th. Hoping everything is as it should be.

Symptoms? Exhaustion, occasional nausea, possible low blood sugar, sore boobs.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I’m starting to feel more defined movements. I may have felt a jab today! Please stay out of my ribs, kid.

GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, no worries about money or anything like that, where would that be? I have no idea. I’m the most interesting person of all time. Lol

[notelsie]

quijibo I was living north of Denver the last 14 years! I do miss it there.

Edit: summerrain and letsgetphysio too apparently! I should read everything before responding.

[notelsie]

jillywilly I feel you on the clothes. I don’t think we can handle TTC and another pregnancy after this so we are probably done too. It’s just been too hard. I was pregnant through winters too, and now we live in a hotter /humid state so I need to make myself go buy things. I’ve been living at home in a bra and pj pants.

[notelsie]

summerrain I’m so sorry. I know it’s so discouraging and scary. I am sending everything positive your way.

[notelsie]

letsgetphysio We are AS buddies soon!

[eleephant]

Constipation

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
We close on our house this week! Probably tomorrow.

GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, no worries about money or anything like that, where would that be?
I'm torn between living somewhere that is warm and has beaches or living secluded in the mountains. So either Florida or Montana. 😂

[ladybrienne]

When is your due date? How far along are you? December 5th, 14 weeks

How big is baby? Peach

Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out in 2 weeeeeks!!!!

Any Upcoming Appointments? June 19th - just a routine HB check and more blood work. I am going for an elective ultrasound the same day to find out the sex, it's actually not that expensive.

Symptoms? Nausea in the morning and evening, but manageable. Sore huge gigantic unreal-looking boobs.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I am just really happy to say bye to the 1st trimester. I am basking in it.

GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, no worries about money or anything like that, where would that be? Outer Banks, NC. I have always wanted to have a house there. It's just such a beautiful and relaxing place.

[expatmama11]

When is your due date? How far along are you? November 26, 15w1d

How big is baby? Size of a pear

Team Finding Out / Team Green? Team Pink

Any Upcoming Appointments? Basic check up on the 21st.

Symptoms? Occasional nausea and food aversions but mostly gone now. Boobs are also not as sore now.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I’ve got nothing right now.

GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, no worries about money or anything like that, where would that be? I’m going to pick Mauritius. It is absolutely gorgeous there and it is fairly remote.

[LoisLoan]

ladybrienne, my office does an affordable elective sex ultrasound at 16 weeks also so we are doing that too. Mine will be the first week of July though.

[Dr. Cox]

I’ve been debating the elective ultrasound. MH is firmly in the “no” camp, because it’s extra money, but I’m impatient as hell right now. I’m a terrible spouse if I just go without him, right?

[emilypk]

When is your due date? How far along are you? 11/20, 16w

How big is baby? An avocado/grenade

Team Finding Out / Team Green? Team pink

Any Upcoming Appointments? Next Tues is my next OB appt. it will be with my OB from my first pregnancy, who is retiring later this summer. My appts after that will be with my new OB, who I hopefully will like as much!

Symptoms? Feeling that second tri relief! Still a bit sore when I stand up after sitting for a while. Also some constipation although this week has been... the opposite.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I told my work about the pregnancy, but haven’t told my clients yet. I’m a little nervous about it... I know they’ll take it fine but maternity leave will cause me to miss some time during a pretty big project so I’m procrastinating sharing the news.

GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, no worries about money or anything like that, where would that be? New Zealand! Queenstown is beautiful or maybe somewhere overlooking the ocean.

[redhead610]

When is your due date? How far along are you?

12/30. 10 weeks 2 days

How big is baby? A kumquat. But I'm not all that sure what one even looks like

Team Finding Out / Team Green?

Team finding out - panorama bloodwork was drawn yesterday

Any Upcoming Appointments?

I had an ultrasound today! Measuring 10w1day with a hb of 160! Dr appt on Friday.

Symptoms?
Still terrible nausea - taking 4 diclegis a day now and still feel yucky. And really tired.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Pgal brain is still strong but I'm doing a little better. We are past the point where our lost little one stopped growing, now just to hit 12 weeks when we discovered it. I also just can't wait to share the news. It's getting harder to hide my belly.


GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, no worries about money or anything like that, where would that be?

Somewhere warm but dry - no humidity for me. But, we live close to both sides of our families, and I wouldn't trade that to live in a more desirable location.

[Dramaphile]

Weekly check-in time!

When is your due date? How far along are you? 10/30, 19 weeks today

How big is baby? Zucchini/pair of sunglasses

Team Finding Out / Team Green? Found out today we're TEAM BLUE!

Any Upcoming Appointments? next one is 4 weeks out, July 5

Symptoms? sciatica, hungry, not much else.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Had a good anatomy scan today, baby is healthy and we're having a boy, which sure surprised me because my gut feeling has been girl from the beginning. It'll take a little bit of processing, but we're really excited to finally know we have a healthy boy. I did find out from the scan that I have placenta previa, and will need another scan at 28 weeks to check and see if it has moved. Chances are good at this point that it will, but I may end up with a scheduled CS. I'm wondering if the previa is what caused the bleeding I had at 11 weeks after my first appointment/pap smear. I also have an anterior placenta, which would explain why I haven't felt a lot of movement yet.

GTKY: If you could live anywhere in the world, no worries about money or anything like that, where would that be? I would love to live in Belgium, it's such a gorgeous country, the people are really nice, and the food and beer is fantastic. We took a trip there while I was pregnant with DD and I didn't want to leave.

[Dramaphile]

summerrain I'm now on the sad no sex wagon with you because of previa. Now I'm really happy MH and I managed to get a little alone time this weekend

[charlotte]

Congrats on a little boy, Dramaphile! They are pretty great. Take your time to adjust— I had very strong feelings DS was a boy and I think I would have felt really shocked for a while if he’d been a girl.

ETA also I will keep my fingers crossed that your placenta gets outta the way!

[summerrain]

That sucks. I hope your previa clears up before delivery too. You have all my sympathy. It sounds totally selfish, but I really just want to have sex. We were in Tahoe over the weekends sans kids and that’s all I wanted to do. Ugh.

[summerrain]

Dramaphile I forgot to say congrats on the boy. Even though I just knew it was a boy, a part of me was hoping to give my DD the sister she wants so badly so I’m still adjusting too.
