Bonus points for bloat, blump, bump pics đ Weeks pregnant: 15 Baby is the size of a: Navel Orange FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM Team: Finding out Appointments: September 5th Symptoms: RLP/growing aches and cramps, sore breasts, headaches on occasion Milestones: none that I can think of Rants/Raves/Vents: We had a busy and eventful weekend. Painting DDs bookshelf took a lot longer than we anticipated and I feel like I may have overdone it a bit. Iâve been super achy in my lower abdomen but Iâm chalking it up to doing a lot as well as normal growing/stretching pains. GTKY: What was the last concert you saw?

Weeks pregnant: 13 + 4
Baby is the size of a: Lemon
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM
Team: Keeping the secret
Appointments: Next check-up 9/13. No u/s until 10/2, and the waiting feels very difficult!
Symptoms: Random terrible m/s on Thursday, threw up twice. Then made the crazy choice to skip Unisom Saturday night because maybe it's the cause of my all-day utter exhaustion. Sunday was so miserable, constant strong nausea and threw up twice. Back to sleepiness. Also back pain and some headaches. Get dizzy easily, especially if I'm standing for a few minutes.
Milestones: Almost 2nd tri! Gives us lots of hope that Baby L will actually end up a healthy outside baby at some point!
Rants/Raves/Vents: DH has a rare vacation this week (weekend + 3 days) and I'm so sick and tired that I can't do anything special. Trying not to feel sorry for myself over it. Our big plans include a nice patio lunch on the water if the weather cooperates, and maybe the Indian buffet if my tummy cooperates.
GTKY: What was the last concert you saw? Last few years, pretty much just the music concerts of the girls high school where I worked. Overheard Billy Joel's Chicago concert 2 years ago (he was my favorite singer as a kid) from my sister's apt a block away from Wrigley Field, that was special!

Weeks pregnant: 14w6d
Baby is the size of a: Lemon
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Pink
Appointments: OB on Thursday
Symptoms: No more nausea, still tired but better, heartburn, back pain, daily headaches
Milestones: Bump is obvious now!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I still haven't told my boss and it's stressing me out. Sigh. On the plus side, the Metamucil + prune juice + probiotics combo is working great and I feel so much better.
GTKY: What was the last concert you saw? Hmm it's been a long time and I honestly don't remember.

Weeks pregnant: 14+4
Baby is the size of a: House mouse
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Finding Out
Appointments: Sept 17
Symptoms: Well, the nausea is hit and miss but certain things will trigger it. Actually felt good until this morning. Got to work and dropped all my stuff on the ground because I thought I was going to throw up before making it inside.
Also, RLP suuucckkssss. And the BH.
Milestones: Ummmm idk. Second tri lol
Rants/Raves/Vents: So, dryer is down and needs servicing. Decided to just run up to a nearby laundromat and since I was going there, I'd actually get all of our dirty stuff down from rugs to clothes. Mistake. My back has hurt all weekend from the standing.
GTKY: What was the last concert you saw? I think it was Thomas Rhett this summer.

Weeks pregnant: 14+2 Baby is the size of a: lemon FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM Team: pink Appointments: in a couple weeks I think Symptoms: RLP hit insanely hard the last two days, harder than I ever remember because it was 24/7; I was pushing it doing too much activity and paid for it. Thankfully better today finally! Milestones: Second tri, have told the fam and are slowly getting the news out. Embracing all the maternity clothes! Rants/Raves/Vents: Like redhead610, my oldest is starting kindergarten (next week). I'm excited for him and for me, for the time with DS2 and time to get things done around the house! Rant that Amazon was out of the baby registry box thing. Grr. I had something I wanted to order now I have to wait until it is back in stock! GTKY: What was the last concert you saw? eek I don't remember. I'm more into musicals than concerts. |

Weeks pregnant: 16w 3d Baby is the size of a: Can of Spam FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM Team: Finding Out Appointments: Next Wednesday, Anatomy Scan 9/17 Symptoms: My nausea has finally subsided but has been replaced with an almost as terrible GI symptom.  I am eating all the fruits and veggies but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. I am having lots of RLP in the past few days and have been pretty sore. Milestones: I had my first stranger comment on my bump! I am excited to look visibly pregnant. We have a list of possible names. Rants/Raves/Vents: I have been feeling some movement, but it isn't very consistent yet. I want to feel baby all the time! I think I might be the only one here finding out that doesn't know the sex yet. GTKY: What was the last concert you saw? We saw Reckless Kelly a few weeks ago. |

wildflowers, I will be finding out the sex but not until the anatomy scan! I feel like most people already know what they are having too.

So has anyone made progress on names, especially those that have found out the gender?

No progress on names here. We have a few we like so far. I think we are going to narrow it down to a few and then choose once heâs born.

We decided on a first name pretty quickly once we knew we were team pink. This baby will be Daria. Her sister is Sara Cecilia. We already told family so we're committed! I'm not sure about middle. I'm thinking about not having one.

So has anyone made progress on names, especially those that have found out the gender? We have a pretty decent working list with both sets of names. We probably won't make a final decision until baby is actually born. |

We have a few girl names we like. Nothing for a boy- I feel like boy names are so hard! Since the US tech guessed girl a few weeks ago thatâs what weâve been concentrating on. It will be nice to finally know for sure at the anatomy scan in 3ish weeks though.

Boy names are impossible. I love my DS's name so much and feel it is old-fashioned and unique without being weird or unfamiliar. I have been scouring lists of boy names and can find nothing that comes close for me. MH likes some awful names so I really need to come up with something that will wow him and get him away from "Joe" and "Dennis."  ETA: we have a handful of girl names that we can agree on at least. But of course we both think we are having a boy lol Being Team Green has no effect on how difficult this is. The main issue is that this is the first time we've been starting from scratch on names (the other times we were naming for someone and we knew exactly what a boy or girl would be called)! |

We are basically certain on the sex by this point. We are 100% set in both boy and girl first and middle. Names are a big deal to me so we basically knew before getting KU. It helps both of us to talk about baby by their name. We won't share it until after the birth, don't want any family's opinions until it's a done deal! |

dashook, I am also having a much harder time with boy names. They all seem generic, dorky or trendy to me.

Weeks pregnant: 17 +3
Baby is the size of a: pomegranate
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: stm
Team: green
Appointments: anatomy scan next Thursday
Symptoms: some mild Braxton Hicks, fatigue (but just changed prenatals to one with iron so hoping that helps?)
Milestones: more movement
Rants/Raves/Vents: Rant- the people who say, âyou donât even look pregnant yet, just like you Had a burritoâ like perpetual burrito belly is what Iâm going for. I know they are trying to compliment? Maybe, but still just say âyou look greatâ even if I donât and be done with it
GTKY: What was the last concert you saw?
Brett Dennen, and indie folk singer
Fun fact- Iâm going to see Fall Out Boy on Friday. Tapping into my inner college Emo

Weeks pregnant: 18+4 Baby is the size of a: sweet potato/artichoke/croissant FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM Team: Green Appointments: my anatomy scan is tomorrow! Excited/nervous!! Symptoms: feeling movement a little more frequently, getting super hungry every few hours, still some food aversions (mostly to veggies unfortunately), sore boobs Milestones: nothing in particular Rants/Raves/Vents: oh, ya know...life. Work sucks right now and things aren't totally great with MH. We still haven't hired a new nanny. Friday is my birthday and we're going to the Cape all weekend but I will not be having any fun because I'll be working the whole damn time. Blah blah blah. GTKY: What was the last concert you saw? I had to think about this for several minutes. I am not a big concert person at all. I am pretty sure the last one I went to was Bon Jovi at Gillette Stadium, with my parents and MH. It was attended ironically because Bon Jovi is a local guy where I'm from in NJ and everyone knows him, so it was kind of funny that my folks and I went to see him perform in Massachusetts. Bump pic from Monday at 18+2: I look HUGE! Has to be the dress. I swear I look much smaller today lol Edit because I don't know what day it is apparently |

dashook, I am also having a much harder time with boy names. They all seem generic, dorky or trendy to me. This is exactly how I feel... but about girl names. If this was boy #3 instead of a girl, I feel pretty confident we'd have a name picked out already! This is us. We are pretty set on boy number 3. No clue for a girl. |

I am eating all the fruits and veggies but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. I am having lots of RLP in the past few days and have been pretty sore.
