Weeks pregnant/Due date:
20w4d March 21
Baby is the size of a:
Paper airplane
FTM/STM/TTM/etc:
STM
Team:
Blue 💙
Appointments:
Tomorrow for fetal tones, and I go back for a follow up wth the rheumatologist Friday. So many appointments 😣
Symptoms:
Random heartburn/reflux many evenings. I get out of breath so easily, I can't even stand and sing at the same time at church lol. I'm pretty sure I pee every 5 minutes, and holy cow it's so much harder to control it during sneezes and such this time! Didn't have that problem with E, lol.
Milestones:
Officially half way! I'm feeling him move and kick all the time now, and felt him on the outside over the weekend! MH has yet to feel him.
Rants/Raves/Vents:
It feels crazy to be half way. I feel like it's forever away but also suddenly like I have no time!
GTKY: Tell us something interesting about yourself!
Hm...I'm a very picky eater, and I hate to cook. This drives MH crazy, because he will eat ANYTHING and gets very bored with our meals, lol.

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM Team: Blue! 💙 Maxwell Brian Appointments: 11/16 a/s Symptoms: nausea in the mornings, constipation Milestones: Rants/Raves/Vents: Whoever on here suggested colace, I could kiss you. I take a pill every 3 days and I am SO much less bloated. GTKY: Tell us something interesting about yourself! I did a whole Ancestry chart on my family a few months ago, and evidently my mom’s English family came to what became the Massachusetts Bay Colony before the Mayflower in 1608. We also have some vague family links to the Mayflower, and I’ve started some paperwork to become part of the Daughters of the American Revolution. My dad’s side, on the other hand, were some of the earliest French settlers of Quebec. Share any U/S or bump pics if you'd like:  |

H says I’m a picky eater, but I don’t think I am. I don’t eat things like beets, okra, beans (except green beans), eggplant, chayote squash, water chestnuts, and baby corn. I think that’s all fairly normal stuff not to like! |

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 16+3 / April 19
Baby is the size of a: dill pickle
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Pink 💕
Appointments: next Tuesday
Symptoms: I’m pretty good as long as I’m taking unisom. I’m going to email tomorrow to ask to switch to zofran so I can take more on an as-needed basis instead of every night. Back aches, boobs hurt, especially if I don’t wear a sleep bra at night.
Milestones: survived another week? I’m so tired. Oh! I slept 11 hours Saturday night, I feel like that was a milestone.
Rants/Raves/Vents: not much today, but I really need to tell my boss, so I’m sure I’ll have a rant after that conversation.
GTKY: Tell us something interesting about yourself!
Well, I met my H because he was best friends and roommates with a guy I was seeing. 😬 The other guy was a groomsman in our wedding.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 23 on weds, March 6 Baby is the size of a: Barbie doll FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM Team: Blue Appointments: brain just went totally blank. Maybe? I will have to look at my calendar! Symptoms: some pelvic and low back pain, mood swings, appetite is feeling more normal Milestones: watching baby bump and jab in my belly every night at 9 pm like clockwork ☺️ Rants/Raves/Vents: I’m getting worried about the glucose test coming soon. I had GD with my first and it sucked - it just sucked! Totally manageable blah blah blah yes, but it sucked. I read it’s more likely with a boy pregnancy so 👎🏻. I didn’t have GD with my second and it was much preferable. GTKY: Tell us something interesting about yourself! I love to bake (and I also stress-bake) and more often than not we eat homemade breads. I do all my mixing/kneeding by hand but I dream of a kitchenAid mixer! I love food science in general and get a real kick out of doing things for myself, so making cheese is way high up there on my life ambitions list, orangehibiscus! |

I’m not at all a picky eater but I have a couple texture issues and they are so strong and there is no getting over them, so I feel for people who are picky eaters and get crap from others. You can’t make yourself like the taste or texture of something, you just can’t! |

Tlex total anecdote my friend from high school who just had her 6th baby felt it was going to be a boy because her sugar numbers were easier to control. She has had 3 boys and 3 girls. She has had gd 5 out of 6 times. Also I passed the 1 hour Glucose test with my son and failed it with my daughter so maybe you will also have the same easier time with a boy.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 20w2d Baby is the size of a: 2 bananas (twins). At the anatomy scan this morning, the tech said they were 13 oz each! FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM/TTM Team: Double blue 💙💙 Appointments: Anatomy scan this morning! Fetal echo cardiogram this Friday (routine for mono-di twins). OB follow up next Tuesday. Symptoms: More out of breath and uncomfortable at night. Hips are aching from sleeping on my side. Occasional heartburn. But loving it all. Milestones: Great 20 week anatomy scan, feels like a huge milestone! Rants/Raves/Vents: The babies look great and exactly on track. I'm so thrilled. The doctor was very happy with their size and that they are congruent. You could see them pushing on each other through the membrane. It was so cool. GTKY: Tell us something interesting about yourself! I'm an architect! I love old houses and fix it shows. I also love all baking Tlex. For example, Barefoot Contessa is so relaxing to me, plus she reminds me of my mom. ❤ Share any U/S or bump pics if you'd like: didn't get great profile shots today, they were a little blurry and focused on getting all the other measurements. But I have a pic of one baby's peen, lol. Probably won't share that one. 😂 |

Baby is the size of a:
FTM/STM/TTM/etc:
TTM
Team:
Green!
Appointments: Thursday
Symptoms:
Achy hips and exhaustion
Milestones:
We had our anatomy scan last week. The radiologist came in and read it while we were still there. Everything looks great.
Rants/Raves/Vents:
This is my third baby and with both if the others we were also team green. Having two boys already I am anxious to know if this baby is a boy or a girl. I went back and forth about finding out this time and decided not to. I left my appointment so glad we made the decision not to find out.

I have a 4 year teaching degree that I've never used and instead I work at a farm during the busy season (which isnt long in Maine).

I think you would enjoy making mozzarella, and you should totally do it! It freezes well too, which is nice. |

It cracks me up to see them with the massage pillow on their feet. 😂😂 If you came to my house you would not guess I’m rafts. I think I’ve made myself two items in the last few years. Other than Disney world and birthday shirts. Haha |
