Weeks pregnant: 14

Baby is the size of a: peach

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Finding out at anatomy scan around mid-September (US tech guessed girl at NT scan)

Appointments: Sept 5th

Symptoms: Not much lately. Mild waves of nausea every now and then, vivid dreams, super stuffy nose... not sure if it’s just the cold I came down with a few days ago or if it’s a bit of pregnancy rhinitis.

Milestones: Feeling relieved to be in the second trimester!

Rants/Raves/Vents: Seriously cannot breathe out of my nose! I rarely go to the doctor and haven’t even chosen a family DR since we moved back to this area 2 years ago but I’m considering finding somewhere to go if this doesn’t clear up soon. I’ll probably call the OB today to see if I can use Afrin for a couple days. I’ve heard conflicting info on if it’s safe to use during pregnancy.

GTKY: What is your favorite room in your house and why? I’d have to say the living room since that’s where we hang out most of the time. From music to TV and toys, we’re pretty much always in the living room when we’re home.

My first official bump pic this pregnancy. I feel HUGE for only 14 weeks and don’t think I look this big IRL 🤷🏼‍♀️🤰🏼

Team: blue

Appointments: not until next Wednesday

Symptoms: not a lot really. Still feel sick now and then but mostly I’m just super hungry all the time

Milestones: not much just chugging along in the second trimester

Rants/Raves/Vents: still blowing my nose from this cold that I’ve had for over a week ugh!

GTKY: What is your favorite room in your house and why? I guess the living room? 🤷‍♀️

Baby is the size of a: sweet potato

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: green

Appointments: sep 5

Milestones:

Rants/Raves/Vents: add me to the cold list. Thanks kids who demand to share everything i eat/drink.

GTKY: What is your favorite room in your house and why? My front porch. we have string lights and a porch swing and a pretty tree lined street to look at.

Weeks pregnant: 13w6d

Baby is the size of a: Lemon

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Pink

Appointments: Aug 30

Symptoms: Tired, moody and anxious; some back pain; digestive issues

Milestones: Almost done with 1st tri by all measures!

Rants/Raves/Vents: I thought I was starting to feel better but then I came down with DD's cold. Bleh.

GTKY: What is your favorite room in your house and why? Probably the nursery. It was the first room in our house that I decorated and I love how it came out. I'm excited to use it for another baby girl!

[dashook]

Weeks pregnant: 17+2

Baby is the size of a: pomegranate/folded up pair of sunglasses/creme brulee

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: Green

Appointments: anatomy scan is next Thursday. Time is dragging!

Symptoms: hungry!! I also was on my feet all day Saturday while we hosted a big bbq at our house, and today I am feeling it still. Achy hips, back, and feet. Yikes! It's going to be a long 20+ weeks to go.

Milestones: you already could pretty much tell I was pregnant from about week 13 (third time and all), but this week my belly really popped and it is now super obvious!

Rants/Raves/Vents: I have not been nearly as productive at work the past week and a half as I should have been, and I know it's going to come around and bite me hard some day soon. Unrelated, I interviewed three nannies yesterday and all of them were great. Selecting someone is going to be difficult! But it's a good problem to have.

GTKY: What is your favorite room in your house and why? I love our nursery. We painted and decorated it four years ago when I was pregnant with DS and I made a lot of the paintings and decorations myself. It's a great gender-neutral space. DD is in there now but we'll be moving her out in 2-3 months so that we can get it ready for #3. I can't wait to rock and snuggle another LO in there!

Weeks pregnant: 14+1

Baby is the size of a: Troll Doll

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Blue! Eee!

Appointments: 9/6? I should check on that.

Symptoms: I had some nausea return last week...that was fun. Headaches, food aversions (still), and some mild leg/ankle swelling. Swelling with DS was pretty minimal, so this is new.

Milestones: All apps unanimously agree that I’m in second tri now.

Rants/Raves/Vents: Lunch delivery is running late. This is unacceptable.

GTKY: What is your favorite room in your house and why? I absolutely love DS’s room, and it’s put me in a bit of a conundrum now that I’ll have another boy room to decorate. Every time I look for ideas on Pinterest, I keep coming back to the same thing.

A little less bloated than before! Woo!

Weeks pregnant: 12+4

Baby is the length of a KitKat bar

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM

Team: Keeping it a secret, but confirmed at our scan this morning!

Appointments: Just got back from nuchal translucency scan. Nuchal measurement was 1.2mm, so we're feeling great about that. Baby is getting so big! Saw them sucking their thumb. Arms and legs look so long and gangly! Signs of a small SCH and remnants of the second gestation. OB checkup mid-Sept, anatomy scan Oct 2.

Symptoms: Nausea is staying steady at annoying but not debilitating. Lots of food aversions, mostly to anything but carbs. Feeling fetal movements occasionally. So much round ligament pain, back pain, headaches starting. Boobs may be growing a bit again...they grew two cup sizes by 5.5 weeks then have stayed steady, but they're feeling heavier.

Milestones: DH will tell work this week. Accidentally slipped and let my sis know baby's sex, so we told DH's sis to be fair, lol!

Rants/Raves/Vents: Sad to cancel our "babymoon" to visit my sister in Cali, on dr's rec, since I'm still spotting pretty heavily. Fighting a yeast infection now too, oh the indignity of it all!

GTKY: What is your favorite room in your house and why? Kitchen! Purposefully bought a really small (2 bed 1 bath - starting to regret that a bit now!), outdated house so I could update everything the way I like, and my dad was handy enough to put in my dream kitchen which then cost about half of what it would if we'd had to hire all the jobs.

[sunshiney]

@amc I hope the itchiness holds off!

cch You look beautiful! Very cool dress and very bumpy bump.

k Your porch sounds lovely! Reminds me we need to get string lights for the patio.

dashook Yum, creme brulee.... I'm glad you have good nanny options, good luck with your choice!

CharlieB Hm, might you like having the boys share the fabulously decorated bedroom soon and use the second as a play room?

Weeks pregnant: 20

Baby is the size of a: banana

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM

Team: blue

Appointments: we have our anatomy scan in one hour. I can't wait to see how baby boy is progressing. We invited my mom to come. I'm really happy she can make it.

Symptoms: not much, it's been relatively easy so far.

Milestones: I hit 20 weeks on Saturday so we're officially on the other side of half way.

Rants/Raves/Vents: my best friend came over and we painted the other wall of the nursery and i'm in love.

GTKY: What is your favorite room in your house and why?
Our nursery!

[strawberrykiki]

Weeks pregnant: 14 tomorrow

Baby is the size of a: Bicycle bell

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: Finding out at anatomy scan

Appointments: Sept 7th

Symptoms: Nausea and vomiting ramped up again this weekend. Fatigue. I swear my feet are already swelling due to the heat and humidity. Having a few mor decent days.

Milestones: Done with 1st tri!!!!! Not necessarily a milestone, but I got my OB to agree to let me try a VBA2C if I go into labor prior to 39w.

Rants/Raves/Vents: Work is killing me and I can't focus. I'm getting a cold and have a horrible ear ache. Really hoping 2nd Tri brings some energy soon!

GTKY: What is your favorite room in your house and why? Our kitchen. We completely redid it this spring and I love it. We spend a lot of time in there as a family and SO and I enjoy cooking together.

So many cute bumps! I still just feel bloated and fat.

[Foxy]

I just had my Anatomy Scan! Baby boy got a perfect score!! Are we sharing ultra sounds? I'll poof if not

[thelittleredm]

Weeks pregnant: 13+4

Baby is the size of a: Clownfish

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: Finding out

Appointments: Baby's HB was 155 and strong! MW said I've gained 4lbs since my last appt at 8 weeks but... I also lost 3 with my stomach bug. I didn't argue, though. H brought both kids and the entire time up until my MW walked through the door, it was a fucking zoo and H did jack shit except play on his phone. Still pissy about it.

Symptoms: Nausea and fatigue are the worst culprits but seems like neither are getting worse and I think I have more good days than bad. Breast soreness is still a thing but pretty low key unless something is putting pressure on them.

Milestones: 2nd tri this week!!!

Rants/Raves/Vents: Eh. Not much aside from my appointment companions -.-

GTKY: What is your favorite room in your house and why? It was my kitchen when we moved in. But now, idk. We're always in the living room so I guess there.

Bump pic to be added later!

Weeks pregnant: 13+2

Baby is the size of a: lemon

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: Pink

Appointments: sometime next month

Symptoms: fatigue, achy, nasal congestion too (@amc the breathe right extra strength nose strips help me!)

Milestones: Through first tri and starting to announce!

Rants/Raves/Vents: On a family vaca, told my folks and am just so glad to not have to hide it anymore. But being on vaca and starting the GD diet hardcore is obnoxious, I am missing out on so much good food! Trying to find time to enjoy the magic that is all this as it is our last one... the boys keep me so busy I just don't have time to focus on it at all and I feel guilty about that.

GTKY: What is your favorite room in your house and why? I'm sure baby's room will be when I start it! Our deck is pretty great, we are super set up for outdoor entertaining. Otherwise kitchen, I enjoy cooking.

Baby is the size of a: Orange

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: Finding Out

Appointments: Sometime? Not too soon.

Symptoms: Afternoon headaches and some GI discomfort.

Milestones: I am out at work!

Rants/Raves/Vents: I feel like I should be able to feel someone the size of an orange inside my body! I felt crummy all week and came down with a stomach bug over the weekend. It was rough. I am slowly recovering but it really hit me hard.

GTKY: What is your favorite room in your house and why? DH and I are almost finished renovating the room that will be our bedroom (and the baby's.) I love how it turned out and I cannot wait to move in!

[dashook]

I am so hungry all day long right now. My 20 week appointment is totally going to be the one where they're like "so you gained...11 pounds this month. Hm."

[strawberrykiki]

dashook me too! I need to seriously tone it down but I’m starving!
