Baby is the size of a: pineapple!
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM
Team: blue
Appointments: i'm on to every 2 weeks! Next is Halloween
Symptoms: peeing all the time. I think I had BH a couple days ago. That was fun lol. At first I didn't know what was happening but i'm pretty sure that is what it was. It feels like muscle spasms? Is that right?
Milestones: I passed my Glucose test last week so i'm still pretty happy, at this point everyday is a milestone
Rants/Raves/Vents: I don't have a lot to vent about. I just want to get a dresser for DH so I can put his clothes away! Right now everything is in his crib. We did get his mobile hung up and sheets on his bed though!

Weeks pregnant: 21+4 Baby is the size of a: Endive FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM Team: secret Appointments: Repeat anatomy scan this week, twice weekly PT now Symptoms: Fatigue is coming back really strongly.  Many days I sleep well all night plus need long morning and afternoon naps. Low appetite for a few days but now it's strong...gained a pound or so this week. Milestones: First stranger commented on my pregnancy today! Cashier asked if I'm expecting! I was so surprised given I was wearing a giant sweatshirt of DH's and the bump was probably looking iffy.  Rants/Raves/Vents: Full of gratitude that this LO is growing healthy. A bit stressed that spotting is increasing again. GTKY: What was your first job? Other than lots of babysitting, I lasted a few weeks frying food in a little hut at a small local amusement park. I was so jealous of the Dippin' Dots girl who just sat under an umbrella and spooned out ice cream! |

strawberrykiki Yay for viability! TashaLa Aww a prairie dog, that just sounds so cute. I agree, had to do an early glucose test during the throes of first tri MS and now I'm so afraid to do it again in a couple weeks. Foxy I don't know what everyone else feels, but for me I've had BH that feel like my uterus just cramps down once and stays there tight for a minute or so, then relaxes.

Weeks pregnant: 24w, 3d Baby is the size of a: ear of corn FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM Team: 💙 Appointments: Not for a while Symptoms: I can't bend over! I am really starting to have hip pain. Some heartburn. Mostly I am physically feeling alright. Milestones: The familiar foot pressing against my bottom rib hit me this week. Rants/Raves/Vents: I am feeling more and more excited about having a boy and really starting to feel like I am 'getting to know' baby. I am still really stuck on names. GTKY: What was your first job? I have had a lot! The usually babysitting/lawn care early on. My first real job was at a title company as a summer receptionist/file clerk when I was 16. Then I took a job as a waitress at a drive through restaurant where I worked all through high school. |

What you didn't see in the picture is the mound of stuff I have to do something with! You're not alone! |

Weeks pregnant: 30w 1d
Baby is the size of a: my app says cantaloupe, platypus, or motorcycle helmet. To me none of those things seem like the same size, at all.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: ttm
Team: boy
Appointments: next week
Symptoms: nausea. Feeling exhausted doing anything.
Milestones: less than 10 weeks to go!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I am carrying very low again (did with ds2 as well) and some of my maternity shirts are not even covering the bottom of my belly. I was hoping to get away with long shirts with leggings but the shirts are coming to the top of the waist band. What am I going to do for the next 10 weeks?
GTKY: What was your first job? Babysitting I guess! During summers in college I worked at my dad's office.

Weeks pregnant: 27
Baby is the size of a: bunch of bananas
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: green
Appointments: Nov 2
Symptoms: pregsomnia, reflux, indigestion
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/Vents:
Took DS2 to urgent care yesterday with croup. They sent us to the ER, then we got to take our first ambulance ride to main Children’s. He’s doing much better but needless to say we are all exhausted and it was stressful. We got back home this afternoon. I have to go back to work tomorrow which is really going to suck.

Weeks pregnant: 22+2
Baby is the size of a: Papaya
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Pink
Appointments: Not for a couple weeks
Symptoms: Hungry, fatigue hitting again, back pain if I'm not super careful. Trying to be smart about not sitting on the floor but sorting clothes/laundry etc. isn't conducive!
Milestones: nada
Rants/Raves/Vents: Ridiculously excited that I'm sending all my boys away for this next long weekend so I can nest (a.k.a. make some order out of chaos). Just hoping my body allows me to do what I need to do, I want to power through so much and think I'll be physically more limited than I'd like. I am not leaving my house except to get food and it will be glorious. (Because I'm also not cooking as much as possible within my GD restraints.)
GTKY: What was your first job? Aside from babysitting, barista.

redhead610 what kind of motorcycle helmet are they imagining?!?!?!?! lol the comparisons are just ridiculous. One option I had was "a small doll." because THAT'S specific. k glad your DS2 is okay! Croup is so scary. Hope that's the worst you will have this cold/flu season! yay viability ladies! So looking forward to that one myself. Foxy the room looks great! Motivating for my goals this weekend. Realistically, this baby's room is not being touched until after Christmas; we're not moving the boys in together until Christmas break, so I won't be able to set up her room until then. Thankfully I have a lot of it ready to go - when we bought our house, I did a "girl" room because I wanted to have a girly space for a while in case it was my only shot!

Bonus points for bump pics 😊
Weeks pregnant: 23+3
Baby is the size of a: Barbie doll
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Blue!!!
Appointments: next week, just a regular OB appt
Symptoms: Some shortness of breath (which is embarrassing when I'm leaving long voicemails at work), belly button has pretty much disappeared, general fatigue. I expect to be tired for about the next 18 years or so...
Milestones: had a great anatomy scan about a week and a half ago. I didn't realize how anxious I was about it until it was probably half over, and I was still so nervous. So glad baby is looking good in there!
Rants/Raves/Vents:
GTKY: What was your first job? I worked at a tennis center in a city park in high school. It was a great gig--I did homework and watched TV, and helped people as they came in.

Weeks pregnant: 22+4
Baby is the size of a: Guinea Pig
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: ❤
Appointments: Check up mid-November, growth scan end of November
Symptoms: Short of breath always. H said we are going to start doing evening walks to make my cardio better but I'm not sure how much it'll help lol I've started wanting sex but my exhaustion makes it hard to get to.
Milestones: None, yet. Viability is in the horizon.
Rants/Raves/Vents: Nothing, really. My ILs have been out of town a lot so we have been getting their Blue Apron meals when they forget to postpone a week. My grocery budget has been thankful lol
GTKY: What was your first job? Victoria's Secret. The worst job I've ever had, hands down. I became a barista shortly afterward and it was probably one of my favorites if not my favorite.

Foxy aww your nursery looks great!! I’m starting to feel stressed and unprepared we haven’t done anything!! I'm with you! Jealous of all this nursery progress, Foxy. We are clearing out our office for baby, since we are out of bedrooms, and the office is generally a dumping ground for stuff that doesn't have a home. It feels like we have made no progress, even though DH moved a bunch of stuff out of there last weekend. I told him we need to have it emptied out by thanksgiving, we'll see if we hit that deadline... |

Weeks pregnant: 22w3d Baby is the size of a: spaghetti squash FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM Team: Pink Appointments: Had fetal echo and growth scan yesterday. Baby is caught up and no longer considered growth restricted! Symptoms: Tired, keep getting sick Milestones: I can transfer care back to the OB since baby is back on track for growth. Rants/Raves/Vents: Just so, so relieved that things are looking OK. Also excited to not visit the MFM again since OB is much more efficient at appointment times. GTKY: What was your first job? Kennel worker at the vet's office. {Spoiler}  |

It feels like we have made no progress, even though DH moved a bunch of stuff out of there last weekend. I told him we need to have it emptied out by thanksgiving, we'll see if we hit that deadline... I think the only reason I got a head start is because we just moved in February and were actively ttc and left a room completely empty even though my husband tried to put stuff in there. I think not having to empty a room really helped. Now if we were at our old house it would be another story.... i'm shuttering at the thoughit of having to empty the bedroom we would have used. |

Foxy Wish we did this!  The (very small) nursery (the 2nd of 2 bedrooms in our very small house) currently holds the dresser baby will use, a giant desk that needs to go away, laundry baskets (where will those go??) and a big old bird cage with a dove that I have had no luck rehoming. I'm in denial, but DH is getting really worried!
