Weeks pregnant/Due date: 13w4d / 3/21
Baby is the size of a: Matchbox car
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Blue 💙
Appointments: Reg OB on Friday
Symptoms: I'm feeling pretty good lately, as long as I keep taking the unisom and b6. Peeing 9000 times a day and night. I feel crazy but a few times I've felt like I feel him...still not sure if that's real or I'm crazy.
Milestones: Most people know now. We told my grandparents last week and pretty much everyone at church knew by Sunday. We decided we're not making an announcement so from here on it'll just be word of mouth. I'm also officially out of first tri 🎉
Rants/Raves/Vents: I feel better about a good appt last week but I can feel the nervousness creeping in again for my appt Fri. I'm really considering getting a doppler to help ease my mind.
GTKY: Fall is coming soon! What is your favorite Fall activity? Pumpkin patches!! Fairs!

Hey all... can I play here? I'm a dirty lurker
Weeks pregnant/Due date: 9+3, due 4/19
Baby is the size of a: green olive
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM, first time pregnant. We were DX'd with unexplained infertility a month prior to getting spontaneously pg

Symptoms: nausea, constipation, bloating like whoa.
Milestones: Just getting pregnant, really.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I live in NC and lost power on Friday due to the hurricane, so now I have a gazillion emails to wade through.

Team: undecided
Appointments: Friday for a monthly check up
Symptoms: Hungry. Otherwise pretty ok nausea is mostly gone.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: coming up on 16 weeks this Wednesday, due March 6
Baby is the size of a: avocado
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Boy
Appointments: not for a while
Symptoms: allergies, headaches, peeing all night, and the nausea has been really bad again from about 3pm onwards. It was a nice few weeks I had without it. I’m super hungry... and then I’m sick. Repeat.
Milestones: baby might be able to hear me? Hello!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I just need to be done with this nausea. I read that in boy pregnancies testosterone peaks in week 16 to the level of a teenaged boy in puberty and then drops off a lot, so maybe that will help? I have no idea.
GTKY: Fall is coming soon! What is your favorite Fall activity? Oh I love it all, but most of all I like doing our family photos this time of year. So tough though... apple picking, the pumpkin patch, cider, fall baking, open windows and fall candles...

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 13w2d
Baby is the size of a: 2 Meyer lemons
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM and TTM (twins)
Team: 💙 Blue 💙
Appointments: MFM intake appt today. Next OB appt is 16 weeks at my OB in early Oct
Symptoms: Still tired. Nausua may be lessening. Super sensitive to other people smells (BO, perfume, etc. I swear I can smell people's shampoo).
Milestones: 2nd tri! And I swear I felt some goldfish type movement.
Rants/Raves/Vents: Just extra nervous after seeing the MFM about all the things that can develop with twins. Usually after doc appts I feel less anxious, but this time it ramped up.
GTKY: Fall is coming soon! What is your favorite Fall activity? I love all things fall, but probably the fall fest near our house (like a big block party), wearing hoodies, picking pumpkins, Halloween trick or treating... I love it all.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 9w4d/April 19th
Baby is the size of a: grape
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Undecided
Appointments: next week for my genetic testing. I still need to call my insurance to see if they will cover any of it. I know it’s covered if you’re 35 at the time of birth, but I’ll be 34. Hopefully they will cover a portion so I can get it done. I don’t want to pay 100% out of pocket if I don’t have to.
Symptoms: nausea, tired, sore boobs
Milestones: I had my first appointment and 8 week scan last week.baby looks great with a heartbeat of 168. Best sound ever!
Rants/Raves/Vents: just sick and tired of being sick and tired.🤢 I am happy to see my pregnancy boobs coming back though. 😝
GTKY: Fall is coming soon! What is your favorite Fall activity? I wish I lived in a climate that got true fall weather! It was 95 degrees here today. My DD1 asked me today if we could “go on a trip to a state up high so we can pick apples”. I told her I’d love to.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 9+5/April 18
Baby is the size of a: cherry
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: stm
Team: finding out. My office doesn’t do NIPT testing so my husband ordered a kit online cuz he couldn’t wait for AS.
Appointments: next is 10/5 for NT screening
Symptoms: nauseous/sick feeling, tired, headaches
Milestones: nothing new
Rants/Raves/Vents: I have to do early GD testing and am doing daily blood testing vs the drink cuz I got sick last time. I feel like my meter is off and I have no idea what blood sugar actually is. I’ll test it twice if it’s off and it will change 20 points. I don’t want to have GD yet but if I do I want to know so I can manage it.
GTKY: Fall is coming soon! What is your favorite Fall activity? So excited! Apple orchard near us and Halloween activities with DD. Cooler weather hopefully!

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 13 + 5
Baby is the size of a: plum
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Find Out
Appointments: I had one last week so not until Oct
Symptoms: nausea is getting better, GI stuff, exhausted
Milestones: I think I'm second tri now!!!!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I was so excited to hear the baby's heartbeat last week. I was not expecting her to check. I'm mad I have to do the 3hr glucose. This happened last time that I failed the 1hr and passed the 3hr. I'm just not excited about drinking that nonsense on an empty stomach. Also I caught DD's preschool cold so I've got some awful sinus pressure. I miss sudafed.
GTKY: Fall is coming soon! What is your favorite Fall activity? I love apple picking. We usually make applesauce and I can apple pie filling to give out as presents. I also just love walking and crunching the leaves. Fall is my favorite season.
