Symptoms: Some nausea is returning, very tired


Milestones: None


Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm bummed that I'm not feeling kicking yet, I was hoping to have that reassurance by now. I saw baby last week and everything was good so hopefully it will happen before too much longer.

Barbie doll

STM

Team:
Blue 💙

Appointments:
Thursday with OB.

Symptoms:
Reflux might be the death of me. Still hormonal AF. I *feel* a lot bigger now.

Milestones:
So close to viability, and this will be my last week of weekly fetal tone checks...just in time for every 2 week appointments to start 😂

Rants/Raves/Vents:
I like ketchup. I can't eat ketchup. I like a lot of foods that I prefer to have ketchup on. I'm very angry that it makes me feel like I'm dying if I eat it.

Of all time- The Santa Claus. Next is Elf.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 19 + 5 / April 17th


Baby is the size of a: Banana


FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM


Team: Blue


Appointments: AS on Friday.


Symptoms: Lots of movement, some RLP.


Milestones: I'm finally almost halfway!


Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm nervous about the AS, but I'm also really looking forward to it. I haven't had an ultrasound since 8 weeks, and back then he was just a blob. Now he will look more like a baby!


GTKY: What's your favorite Christmas movie? Elf will always be my favorite.

[Deleted]

bex15, I would not stress too much about not feeling baby yet. I didn't feel a thing with my DD until well after my AS. I was around 23 weeks when I finally started feeling slight fluttering.

Then, she barely stopped moving for the rest of the time!

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 19 today/ April 22


Baby is the size of a: tomato


FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM


Team: blue!


Appointments: tomorrow, A/S and welcome appt with new OBGYN.


Symptoms: dyseugia is back in full swing, still puking 4-5 mornings a week, constant peeing.


Milestones: Almost half way!


Rants/Raves/Vents: In solidarity with bex15 , I don't think I'm feeling kiddo either. H says he was a super chill baby before he turned into a hellion, so maybe this kiddo takes after his dad? Also, my bump has definitely officially popped! I'm feeling so much more like I'm actually pregnant looking


GTKY: What's your favorite Christmas movie? All of them. The original Grinch, Charlie Brown's Christmas, Christmas Vacation, Elf, Frosty, Rudolph... I have them all on DVD and will actually pull them out to watch them every year lol. H and I also went to see the new Grinch last weekend, which I thought was really cute.

Team: green


Appointments: 12/10 Anatomy Scan


Symptoms: aches and pains in my hips when sleeping


Milestones: none


Rants/Raves/Vents: feeling the baby moving a lot and I'm able to feel kicks on the outside. I had to do some awkward maneuvers around my H's family over the holidays to avoid unsolicited belly rubs. I don't think I'll ever understand why people think this is ok.

Team: finding out in 7 days!!

Appointments: next one on Monday. It’ll have been five weeks in between, I’m ready!

Symptoms: so tired emotions are ramping up lol

Milestones:

Rants/Raves/Vents: I’m so nervous for Monday. I’m very nervous just to see the baby I think in general. Hoping everything is going well and healthy we had no testing done. I’m also very nervous for it to be a boy. I’m totally fine with whatever but I’m just nervous for getting DD who’s 3.5 to come around to the idea of a brother.


GTKY: What's your favorite Christmas movie?
Elf! Lol

I hate the belly touches. My gma tried and my husband jumped in backing me up when I said no and blocked her. She throws a fit every time and said she let anyone and everyone have access to her belly since it’s their relative too (🙄) MH said good go have another baby and walked away... he apparently had nothing left in him for the argument she’s exhausting lol

Same with my DD I’m not even sure when I felt her but I know it was pretty late.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 26, March 6


Baby is the size of a: well, measuring 32 weeks today so he might be more the size of that lettuce than the 26 week zucchini. A 2 lb zucchini sounds like a massive zucchini anyways? I still want to fire everyone who makes these up.


FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM


Team: Blue


Appointments: today, and again in two weeks, and a growth scan at 28 weeks


Symptoms: high BP


Milestones: last week of 2nd tri


Rants/Raves/Vents: I’m going for the glucose test tomorrow and ready to fail. I’m super bummed to be measuring so big. I know I always do, and there is a pattern where I typically lose weight in 3rd tri/stay the same when the conventional wisdom is that it’s when you pack it on, but maybe not this time.


GTKY: What's your favorite Christmas movie?
The Santa Clause! Love seeing so many other fans in here.

[grover]

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 22+2, eviction date around 3/16

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: double blue

Appointments: Next appt is on Christmas Eve, growth scan and appointment with OB. Possibly a non stress test as well.

Symptoms: exhaustion, hip pain. Going to try some med tape or a support belt

Milestones: Got through my last ever pregnant Thanksgiving! I always drink wine on Thanksgiving and this year I may have taken a sip or two from H's glass.

Rants/Raves/Vents: hip pain sucks. But we put up the christmas tree (it's pre-lit, and didn't put any ornaments on it) while A was taking a nap. She came downstairs and was all "pretty! pretty tree!" which was awesome.

GTKY: What's your favorite Christmas movie? the claymation rudolf. WeeSing Christmas. H claims Die Hard so we watch that every year too.

Oh man that stinks. My H’s aunt was the worst offender and literally tried to cop a feel every time I saw her. She also kept commenting on how I looked bigger each day (of the holiday weekend!?!) she saw me. Such a peach.

Elf! Lol

I was worried about DD too since she kept saying it was a sister. But she did great with the news and happily tells people about her brother now.

[tapdancer]

For anyone with hip pain I highly reccomend getting a support belt. I borrowed one from a Mom friend and it's been life changing. Seriously. Worth the money.

Team: Pink!


Appointments: not until dec 7.


Symptoms: I get out of breath easily and every thing makes me cry!


Milestones:


Rants/Raves/Vents: I had someone tell me last week that I was “big for how far along I am”. And then ask if it was twins. And then tell me again how big I am. 🤯


GTKY: What's your favorite Christmas movie? A Christmas story! I try and have it on during the 24 hour marathon as long as possible but someone always changes it. 😂 I didn’t watch it until a teen because my mom can’t stand it.

Baby is the size of a: two "large" mangos


FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM/TTM (twins)


Team: Identical boys!


Appointments: Next week for a growth scan and OB checkup


Symptoms: Pregsomnia, out of breath, just feeling large!


Milestones: Registered on Amazon and bought a few things with Black Friday/Cyber Monday (infant carseats, extra seat for our City Select)


Rants/Raves/Vents: Got a hospital bill for $1400 since my fetal echo cardiogram was at an office inside a hospital. There are like 4 line items for "ultrasound" on it for different amounts. I'm going to have to call and ask for an itemized bill. If this is accurate, I'll be near my max out of pocket for the year... but it still sucks!


GTKY: What's your favorite Christmas movie? Elf or White Christmas, I cry every time they open the doors. ETA open the doors at the end of the movie, and it's snowing. 😂


Share any U/S or bump pics if you'd like: None this week but I should have pics after next week's scan!

[jewelsofthenile]

bex15 The AS report said I have an anertior placenta. I am not sure where because I feel jabs in a lot of different places even in front. But It does seem different than my other two pregnancies. I feel a lot down low and on my bladder. Also I will probably be doing my glucose test around that time mid december. They wanted to give the drink to me to take home at my last appt. I told them to wait until the next appt since I wouldn't be far enough along to take the test until then anways and i dont need to store it for a month.

Tlex I also gain alot usually get lectured on it at some point by my doctors, then don't gain anything the last month. I hope it goes that way this time too because i have gained over 20 lbs already with 18 weeks to go.

haleyscott my SIL keeps teasing me that it is twins... nope I am just huge since is my third kid. My stomach muscles no longer know how to hold a growing ute in.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 19+4 / April 19


Baby is the size of a: four toed hedgehog 🦔


FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM


Team: Pink


Appointments: nothing again until Dec 14 for A/S


Symptoms: Not to jinx it, but I’ve been weaning off unisom and I think I’m finally better! Wahoo! I love to eat. Tonight will be my first night this attempt with not taking a unisom at bed.

Other than that, my biggest symptom is lack of immune system. And I’ve definitely popped. Someone finally asked me in my office if I was pregnant (granted, she’s older and I think she overheard me mention it), but maternity shirts finally fit!


Milestones: weaning off unisom successfully. I can’t stress enough how joyous I am about not puking anymore.


Rants/Raves/Vents: Rant: cold viruses are the worst. I’ve been sick for over 3 weeks. Called the doctor yesterday and the on-call doctor called in antibiotics without seeing me and saying it sounded like bronchitis, which is viral. I haven’t picked up the prescription yet, so I’m hoping I’ll start feeling better on my own.

I need to see if I can take mucinex. I don’t like my other “approved list” options.


GTKY: What's your favorite Christmas movie? All of them. From Christmas Vacation to Elf to every cheesy hallmark movie. I’ll watch them all.


Share any U/S or bump pics if you'd like

I need to take a picture. You guys might be graced with a work bathroom picture soon.

[photomama2013]

I have a rant now. Non pregnancy related. I live in New England and we just got dumped on with a snow storm. It's been snowing for 24 hours with no signs of letting up. We lost power in the wee hours of the morning and our estimated time of restoration is 9pm TOMORROW. I have been sending DS1 outside to get snow to melt for toilet flushing water on the woodstove. Also, we did all of the activities possible with no power today, what in the world am I going to do with a 3.5 and almost 6 year old again tomorrow 😭 first world problems for sure.

It’s such a cool thing to feel this baby girl moving inside of me! I have felt her once from the outside, but H hasn’t been able to feel her yet.

IL’s are coming in a couple weeks to stay for several days. I’m already dreading the belly touching from my MIL.


GTKY: What's your favorite Christmas movie?
Elf! It’s such a cute movie. I also like The Santa Clause, A Christmas Story, and the Muppet Christmas Carol. I grew up watching the Claymation Christmas, so that has a lot of sentimental value for me!
