Weeks pregnant: 9w2d
Baby is the size of a: Tater tot
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Finding out
Appointments: Aug 2
Symptoms: Less nausea and bloating, but overwhelming exhaustion, shortness of breath, high heart rate, weird dreams and insomnia
Milestones: Nothing this week. Next week, I'll hopefully pass my loss gestation.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm getting nervous approaching my loss date (discovered 10w1d, baby had stopped growing a few days before). I still feel quite sick, but I'm having less nausea, which is concerning. I really need to get past my next appointment to be able to relax.
GTKY: Do you want summer to last forever, or are you looking forward to fall? I usually love summer, but I can't handle heat while pregnant. It makes me feel awful. So I am really looking forward to fall, especially since it will coincide with 2nd tri for me.

Weeks pregnant: 14
Baby is the size of a: 🍑
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: green
Appointments: aug 8
Symptoms: RLP, off and on nausea, peeing all the time 🙄
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/Vents: vent: I’m having some anxiety over the health of this baby. I’ve heard it’s normal in third babies, when you have two healthy babies already and you don’t think you’ll be so lucky again. I’m also just feeling like I should be bigger? which is kind of dumb. I was just expecting to blow up like a balloon like everyone says you do with your third. there are two pregnant people at my work, both also due in January, both their first babies, and one of them was like, where’s your bump?! and even though I don’t have a history of loss, I still worry about it. and even though that RLP last week I had was no joke.
GTKY: Do you want summer to last forever, or are you looking forward to fall? I’ve always been fall and 🎃 obsessed, but never have I wanted fall to be here so much. Can we just skip August? This pregnancy appears to be dragging. I’m trying to enjoy it bc this is our last. but it’s hard. bring on the coziest time of year!

Weeks pregnant: 13+2
Baby is the size of a: lemon, clownfish
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Green!
Appointments: I had my NT scan last week, and I go back Thursday afternoon for a blood pressure check with a nurse. After that, nothing until my 16 week appointment on 8/13.
Symptoms: The nausea is mostly is gone but still hits me randomly every few days. Before I was just feeling averse to food in general but that also has decreased to every few days. Now I'm just hating raw tomatoes (which was my only food aversion in previous pregnancies), cooked carrots (which I had with DS), and raw or cooked red peppers (a new one). So weird how this suddenly developed.
Milestones: I finally shared the news with my whole office last week. Good thing too because I definitely have a legit baby bump now--no more blump! Well okay...I'm still bloated but at least now I look pregnant and not just fat!
Rants/Raves/Vents: Ehhh you guys already know I've been having a tough time at work. There's no real end in sight for that but in fun news, I leave Friday for a week in California at a trial boot camp! It's going to be intense and a lot of work but I'm definitely excited for it (even though I can't drink--boo!).
GTKY: Do you want summer to last forever, or are you looking forward to fall? So funny that you posted this today because I was in Dunkin Donuts earlier and thinking how I'm looking forward to fall and all of their OTT hawking of their pumpkin/maple/brown sugar stuff. And football!

k I am having a lot of anxiety about the health of this baby as well. I am sure it is in part because we are discussing doing it not doing testing this week so it is on my mind. I feel like the two I have are so incredible and perfect and it leaves me nervous.

Weeks pregnant: 11w 3d
Baby is the size of a: Fig But really, how big is a fig?
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Finding Out
Appointments: Informal visit from midwife sometime this week to listen with doppler.
Symptoms: An inability to eat food. Although I seem to be having a few good days in a row followed by a few bad days, so hopefully the end is in sight.
Milestones: I am so anxious to get to 12 weeks. Is the basic rule waiting to tell until 12 weeks or 14? You would think I have never done this before!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I am just so incredibly ready to be happy and plan for this kid! I don't want to be a basket case any longer. I am so happy to be adding another person to our family and I just want to enjoy it.
GTKY: Do you want summer to last forever, or are you looking forward to fall? I love fall, but since I slept July away I could use a little more summer! E goes back to school in Aug and I am irritated about it. I want that last little bit of summer for us.

I love seeing these bumps!
Weeks pregnant: 10+1
Baby is the size of a: Kumquat
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Finding out
Appointments: I have a sono today at 3:30 after some spotting yesterday. My NT scan and blood work is scheduled for 8/7.
Symptoms: So much nausea. Yesterday and today have been slightly better, but the evenings have been rough. Bloating, food aversions, etc etc etc. And spotting, unfortunately...I was on my feet for a few hours yesterday while helping a friend with her registry, and I ended up spotting and cramping quite a bit last night. I can easily find a heartbeat on my doppler at home, so that's reassuring, but OB wants to do a sono just to check on things. I had a small SCH on my last scan, so it's probably/hopefully just working its way out.
Milestones: Some of my apps say that I now have a fetus or will at the end of this week. Hooray for fetus status!
Rants/Raves/Vents: If water didn't make me want to throw up, that would be lovely.
GTKY: Do you want summer to last forever, or are you looking forward to fall? I’m a summer hater…bring on fall/winter!

When do you guys count 1st tri to be over? 13 weeks? 13w3d? 14? I say 13 weeks but some what because I know they won't let me go past 39 weeks which divides so nicely by 3! Plus mentally right now I need to think of first tri being as short as possible!

Appointments: 8/2
Symptoms: I've had a pretty sensitive stomach for the first time all pregnancy
Milestones: I made it to the 4 month mark! I've decided to make 20 weeks a milestone. He'll be half baked and i'll be having my AS. 1 more month to go.

Baby is the size of a: strawberry
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Can’t wait to find out
Appointments: August 7th for US and genetic testing
Symptoms: nausea with some vomiting, sore nipples, tired, vivid dreams, food aversions and just not wanting to eat in general until I’m starving, all the bloat
Milestones: none that I can think of right now
Rants/Raves/Vents: Felt so good to see LO wiggling around on US last week with a nice strong HB!
GTKY: Do you want summer to last forever, or are you looking forward to fall? Fall is my favorite season so I’m definitely looking forward to it!
PS. All of your bumps are SO cute!!
Andplusalso I’m sure this has been asked before, but how do you add a spoiler?

Weeks pregnant: 17w 1d
Baby is the size of a: video game controller
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: ttm
Team: boy
Appointments: on Wednesday
Symptoms: I think my nausea has gotten even worse if possible. I'm going to ask about other options when I go this week.
Milestones: only 3 more weeks until the half way point! I've been thinking about it in a "only 23 possible weeks left until the nausea subsides" way
Rants/Raves/Vents: we had a good but exhausting weekend and now I'm moving in slow motion
GTKY: Do you want summer to last forever, or are you looking forward to fall? Right now I'm over the heat, so I'd love some slightly cooler weather.

wildflowers I believe they say wait until 12 weeks to start telling people. My OB said 12 weeks is when the chance of MC drops significantly to 3%. notagoddess I’ve always thought 2nd tri starts at the beginning of week 13. That’s what I’m going with anyways.. mostly bc I need first tri to be over ASAP. Also, I hope you’re able to relax after your next US. I’m also approaching my loss date in a week or two (depending on if they change my DD at the next appointment). My loss was at 12w0d and same thing happened, they couldn’t find a HB and said baby stopped growing within the last 72 hours. PGAL is a mindf&*! and I’ll be so thrilled to see a healthy LO at my 12 week appointment. If it makes you feel any better I had a few days around week 9 where I didn’t vomit and felt less nauseas than normal but saw my perfectly healthy LO on Friday. The nausea and vomiting came back with a vengeance. I think it’s normal to have good and bad days when it comes to nausea. Hang in there! CharlieB Hope your US goes well today and the spotting is just due to your SCH.

Weeks pregnant: 10 weeks tomorrow
Baby is the size of a: cocktail weenie
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Finding out
Appointments: August 10th
Symptoms: Still all the nausea and puking, constipation, fatigue, food aversions.
Milestones: Survived another week.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I want some much to enjoy this pregnancy because is probably my last but I just feel so awful. I am wishing the days away. I'm also having a hard time connecting to this pregnancy. I also can't shake the feeling that something might go wrong. PGAL sucks so much.
GTKY: Do you want summer to last forever, or are you looking forward to fall? Bring on fall. Cooler weather, football, 2nd trimester, pumpkin everything, Halloween with the kids. Yep, I'm over this summer.

Weeks pregnant:
Baby is the size of a: Eastern blue wing butterfly....a very small blue butterfly lol
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: I say Green still but H sounds like he may want to know. Idk.
Appointments: Aug 20th
Symptoms: The nausea is getting worse :/ Craving tomato juice. Tired all the time. Getting around Target feels like a marathon now. Constipation...I really need to pick something up for this.
Milestones: I have a blump turning bump. It's getting pretty solid at the bottom but I still feel bloated enough that I'm wary of calling it a real bump, yet.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I don't have any, really. Walking outside this morning at 6am to 80*F weather really sucked, though.
GTKY: Do you want summer to last forever, or are you looking forward to fall? I love the long hours of summer. But the heat makes my nausea worse and it's the rainy season now so the added humidity makes me more miserable. Plus, we are going on a cruise in September so I'm really looking forward to fall.

Weeks pregnant: 8+4 Baby is the size of a: peanut FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM Team: finding out. Ordering sneak peek gender test tomorrow On Amazon so it comes Thursday at 9w exactly, we should have the result in about a week, so excited! Appointments: graduated RE last week, meet new obgyn Wednesday but no ultrasound. Poop. Symptoms: oh the nausea. Food cravings and aversions. Heaving and regurgitating, can't really call it vomiting. Sore big boobs. Slightly less sleepy. Headaches. Peeing 100x. Milestones: wore a maternity tee (with the side ruching) out shopping today and loved it. Been thinking I'm crazy but I have a really obv bump at 8.5w. seeing the gorgeous bumps here make me feel less crazy! Rants/Raves/Vents: nurse said to stop progesterone at 9 weeks, Dr said ten. I will probably do one a day for ninth week. Can't wait to get off them, they make sex hard. GTKY: Do you want summer to last forever, or are you looking forward to fall? I always make it a point to live day to day if possible...a necessary skill when you're waiting out Western new York winters that blend into spring... But yes, who wants to be pregnant in summer? Not this girl! So excited for fall weather and clothes and food!

Weeks pregnant: 9+2
Baby is the size of a: cherry
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: finding out
Appointments: genetic testing a week from tomorrow, but no results for a week or more.
Symptoms: I couldn't pee until 3 p.m. Saturday. Sorry if that is TMI but such an inconvenient and uncomfortable symptom! I thought I was going to have to go in for a catheter but tried everything and gradually figured it out. A combo of not getting up to pee in the MOTN and baby sitting right on top of it. I have had difficulty from that before but never a total block! Taking steps to make sure that doesn't happen again!
Milestones: nothing of note
Rants/Raves/Vents: So many trips coming up. Hiding it from ALL the in-laws this weekend - thankfully I am not bumping out too badly/look pregnant normally from DR so nobody should think twice. 😂
GTKY: Do you want summer to last forever, or are you looking forward to fall? Both! We have so many fun trips and memories to make yet this summer that I am excited about. However, the heat affects me more pregnant and it is just so busy. When school starts it will be like a vacation!

Bonus points for bloat, blump, bump pics 😊
Weeks pregnant: 11w5d
Baby is the size of a: lime
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM
Team: Find out!
Appointments: not until August 1
Symptoms: still super tired and bloated. I think the morning aka all the time sickness is easing up a little bit though!
Milestones: the end of the first trimester is in sight!
Rants/Raves/Vents: still nervous going what seems like forever between appointments. I was last 8w5d when we saw a good heartbeat. What if something happened and I don’t know it?? I know these thoughts are not productive but they’re hard to kick some days.
GTKY: Do you want summer to last forever, or are you looking forward to fall? I’m looking forward to fall but I live in Florida so it doesn’t really make all that much difference!
