Weeks pregnant/Due date: 17+2/March 30
Baby is the size of a: pomegranate
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Blue
Appointments: Anatomy scan on 11/13
Symptoms: Just exhaustion at this point really. My nausea has all but gone away, which i'm so thankful for!
Milestones: Getting so close to being halfway done!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I hope I start to look pregnant soon. I started out this pregnancy a bit overweight, so I'm worried I'll just look like I've gained more weight, and I wont have a cute baby bump
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday? Halloween! It's usually a production in my house, but we haven't really done much this year since I've had zero energy so I'm feeling guilty.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 13+1 Baby is the size of a: matchbox car FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM Team: Finding out. Torn on doing one of those 4D ultrasounds in a couple weeks with family or waiting until the 19 week scan. I’m a little nervous at the thought of seeing my baby for the first time not in a doctor office in case something was to come up 🤔 Appointments: next week. I’m so ready I just want to hear the heartbeat again now that we are almost done with first tri. But I feel like I say that weekly... I have a feeling I’ll be very different this pregnancy then with my DD Symptoms: Tired... but overall much better! Milestones: almost done with 1st tri! Rants/Raves/Vents: we need to tell people soon. I’m not good at that lol I hate he fake “how are you feeling” comments. MH will tell his family next week sometimes I’m sure (super strained IL relationship) but then I think I’ll just openly talk about it with some of the coworkers that do know and let it trickle down GTKY: What's your favorite holiday? Christmas! I love it. I make it a huge ordeal. I love my daughters birthday too, or MH. Really I just love to decorate and cook and give gifts to my family.

Baby is the size of a: nectarine
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM

Rants/Raves/Vents: Work blah blah blah - on the positive, H and I and the 2 pups took a long weekend to western North Carolina and stayed in a beautiful cabin waaaay up in the mountains. Super peaceful and relaxing. We saw one car the entire time we were at the house. I also get to go home to Boston for an interview on Thursday and just being in that city brings me comfort.
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday? It's always been Valentine's Day, but for some reason, I am really feeling Thanksgiving and Christmas this year.

Team: Still undecided. I want to stay team green, but my H wants to find out.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 14+3 April 19
Baby is the size of a: Troll doll
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM (DD is 3)
Team: Pink 💕
Appointments: last week- super quick check. My doctor was pretty concerned about my lack of appetite and said I look tired. Well....yeah! I am tired!
Symptoms: nausea mostly better as long as I keep up unisom, out of breath easily, headaches, random dizziness
Milestones: Went on a weekend trip and mostly kept up with my mom and sister site seeing! We walked 5 miles one day. I am sore though...
Rants/Raves/Vents:
My doctor suggested switching from unisom to zofran, but I’m afraid of messing with what’s working. I am going to try skipping the unisom again in another week and then will try switching if I’m still sick.
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday?
Christmas! Although I’m a terrible gift giver. But I love gathering with family and I usually take a couple extra days of vacation and just enjoy the holiday.

nmom I was weird about telling people this pregnancy, too. Once I was ready I shared it with the people I knew would tell other people and then just stopped hiding it. If they don't know, they'll know by March 😂

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 18w4d March 21 Baby is the size of a: Sweet potato FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM Team: Blue! Appointments: Had my a/s today, everything looked good but there was a little extra urine in his kidneys so we'll just keep an eye on that. I'm supposed to go tomorrow for a nurse appt for fetal tones but I'm contemplating canceling it since I had this appt today. I need to go get my AFP blood draw today too. Symptoms: Still random surprise bouts of sickness, but overall in general I feel pretty good. I wear out so quickly that I feel pathetic, but I just sit down a lot lol. I think he's starting to really squish my bladder because I'm peeing even more and I wasn't sure that was possible, and I have to be extra careful with sneezes 😯😬 Milestones: A/S out of the way. GTKY: What's your favorite holiday? Christmas season! Really I love all holidays, but I love the magical feeling surrounding the next few months. And obviously Thanksgiving so I can stuff my face.

If they don't know, they'll know by March 😂 Lol. That’s my ideal situation. Oh btw I had a baby so I won’t be in today😂 With my first I didn’t tell anyone outside of immediate family until I was 19 weeks. I was totally showing and got away with zipping up my jacket it was perfect. |

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 18w1d, eviction date of March 3 at the latest though.
Baby is the size of a: video game controllers? I swear we already saw that. Well, they are 8 oz each today, according to the ultrasound tech (right on track!)
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM/TTM (twins)
Team: Double blue 💙💙
Appointments: Today for a doppler check and fluid check. They measured blood flow, etc. during the ultrasound. Next one is 20 week anatomy scan on election day!
Symptoms: Moving more slowly, some heartburn. Also have the rage amd emoshuns.
Milestones: 18 weeks, almost halfway (37 weeks is my cutoff)
Rants/Raves/Vents: The day started off rough because I just missed a train and the next one was very late, but things turned around with a good appt! So fun to see those babies moving around. Baby B would not stop moving and it was hard for the tech to get some measurements (blood flow through tiny vessel, etc.), but she got it! Also one saw one baby penis
😂
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday? Christmas, although really I love Halloween though the end of the year. Thanksgiving is also great, no presents or stress, all yummy food.
Share any U/S or bump pics if you'd like: I will update once I take some!

Some of my clients started commenting before I said something. I don’t mind people knowing, but I don’t like telling them. Not sure why. |

Sorry your still feeling so sick jacks. I was really sick with DD until about 16 weeks. My doctor had me on both dicleges (sp?) which I think is prescription form of unisom and Zofran. I did dicleges daily and zofran as needed which was often. I would ask if that is an option. Zofran is much stronger. I felt it helped more but it gave me headaches and made me tired. Side effects were worth it for me, but I’m not sure where your at. |

She was saying I could switch so I wouldn’t be as tired from the unisom, so I don’t really want to take zofran if it will make me tired too. I think I will be better in a couple weeks. |

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 19 w 3 days,march 16th
Baby is the size of a: four toed hedgehog
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: ttm
Team: find out next week!
Appointments: scan on Oct 30th
Symptoms: thankfully it subsided a bit but I was so ravenous/sick hungry for a few days. It is like I couldn't keep up and just felt nauseous like I didn't just eat. Also just tired, these stupid dreams I have made me wake up crying today.
Milestones: feeling the baby a lot more frequently, not really a milestone but my dds love to lay their heads on my belly and talk to the baby. It is super cute.
Rants/Raves/Vents: The whole waking up from my awful crying dream this morning has just put me in a blah mood. Then my mil texts about other family coming to visit when they come in a couple weeks, like it wasn't stressful enough getting ready for them and his aunt already. The other family would just be coming by for the day and I love them so that is a plus I guess. Hoping to shake this mood.
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday? I love the Christmas season. I love the snow, music, decorations, lights, and christmas fairs. The day and days after are usually crazy with visiting family all over but I am hoping I can get some of them to come to us this year. I know next year will be crazy busy with family wanting to see the baby for their first Christmas.
Baby Christmas confession: I already bought the Carter's outfit for "My First Christmas" with a little reindeer on the bum. I'm excited haha

GTKY: What's your favorite holiday?
Thanksgiving, but I'm not so sure about poultry when pregnant. Maybe I'll just eat all the sides!

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 15 weeks / April 17th
Baby is the size of a: navel orange
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Blue
Appointments: November 16th
Symptoms: Is it too early for round ligament pain? I think that's what I've been getting if I get up or shift positions quickly.
Milestones: Firmly in the second tri, hopefully have reached the "sweet spot" of pregnancy.
Rants/Raves/Vents: This kid is a little stinker. My doctor had to chase him with the doppler at my appointment last week. She found him for a few seconds, then he ran away.
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday? I love the Christmas season, but the actual Christmas holiday has been very stressful for the last 6-7 years. I'm determined to not let our parents' guilt trips spoil the fun this year because DD (3) is actually old enough to understand and partake in all the Santa fun!

@ges072115 my christmas's are stressful like that too. Last year santa came to our house on the 26th or 27th because we were at the in laws on Christmas eve. I think MIL would like us to spend every xmas eve/day there because she drove her kids to their grandparents and santa came there every year. Its so hard to make everyone in the extended family happy I feel like our immediate little family loses out.
