Weeks pregnant/Due date: 26 today - due 4/22
Baby is the size of a: cauliflower
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM
Team: blue
Appointments: Glucose test #2 (passed my first test at 19 weeks) and meeting with the head OB next Monday
Symptoms: heartburn, constant peeing, constipation, kid is sitting loooow and like to headbutt the shit out of my bladder/cervix
Milestones: almost 3rd tri!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I irrationally fought with H yesterday over food. I feel like a jackass.
IHO a friend eloping this weekend in Antigua, TTMA your wedding! Colors, drama, best song, etc (or what you'd love to have if you're not married): H and I got married in the Florida Keys (my 2nd wedding, his first). 22 people including us. Shades of blue for the girls, gray suits, lots of colorful flowers, H's mom was our "flower lady" and tossed rose petals - it was hilarious. We had a taco bar, tons of sangria/ caipirinhas and cut a key lime pie. My mom tried to pull drama, which my MOH shut down. It was 85* on the sand when we did our vows (we handed out popsicles and sunglasses), but it cooled off and was perfection for dinner and dancing. It was a 4 day affair, lots of beach going and exploring.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 30w4d RCS March 14 Baby is the size of a: Motorcycle helmet FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM Team: Blue! Appointments: HR doc tomorrow (with u/s 🎉), OB Thursday. Symptoms: Tired a lot. Peeing more than I'd think was physically possible. Easily irritable. Heartburn and nausea have not been bad lately though (knocks on all wood around me). Milestones: 2 months from today he'll be here! Rants/Raves/Vents: I am becoming a not fun person to be around, but it's because everyone around me is offensive just by existing 😂 I'm trying really hard to be positive about my "shower" this Sat but I'm struggling. It's like the closer I get to him being here the more my AL thoughts are triggered, and I'm not even really worried about this pregnancy, but I'm having a hard time dealing with my past losses which has just been kind of unexpected. Not that I expect to ever "get over" them, I'm just a little surprised at how much it's affecting me right now. But on a positive note - I'm just so excited for how close we are and I can't wait to meet him ❤ IHO a friend eloping this weekend in Antigua, TTMA your wedding! Colors, drama, best song, etc (or what you'd love to have if you're not married): We had lots of pinks and greens, no real drama the day of aside from my makeup and hair lady being way late so we didn't get to do a lot of the pictures we wanted beforehand outside. But otherwise it was a perfect day and we had so much fun. Our first dance was to Louis Armstrong 'La Vie en Rose'. Still makes me swoon No new pics right now. Hoping I get some new u/s pics tomorrow, I didn't at my last scan

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 28+2 / Due 4/6 Baby is the size of a: Head of cauliflower/rollerblade FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM Team: Green Appointments: Had one today, starting every two weeks now Symptoms: More BH, tired but can't sleep Milestones: 3rd Tri!! Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm just starting to feel very overwhelmed by everything, like I cannot wrap my brain around actually bringing home a baby in 12 weeks, so exciting and terrifying. I'm having a very hard time focusing on work or anything really right now. IHO a friend eloping this weekend in Antigua, TTMA your wedding! Colors, drama, best song, etc (or what you'd love to have if you're not married): Colors were navy and mustard yellow, the wedding itself was a lot of fun and I loved having all of my family together since we're all spread out but sooo much drama from my in laws leading up to the wedding. FIL and MIL had recently divorced because he was cheating, he married the new girl as soon as divorce was finalized so there were a lot of feelings involved. MIL had offered to pay for a portion of the wedding early on, she called us out of the blue a week prior to the big day saying if we didn't put SIL in the wedding (which was never discussed, ever throughout this entire time) that she wasn't giving us a penny. Fun times. Share any U/S or bump pics if you'd like:

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 25 weeks Baby is the size of a: baseball glove😳 FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM Team: Blue Appointments: nothing again until the end of the month Symptoms: headaches are back fog brain is back. I feel like I’m back in first trimester. I don’t feel like it’s my anxiety too much latley causing the fog brain I think I’m exhausted sick of headaches. Sick of everything... already. Milestones: I have clients that were born at 25 weeks so while I panic about getting pre e again I tell myself we are at viability! Rants/Raves/Vents: so tired. Sleeping sucks. That’s all😂 IHO a friend eloping this weekend in Antigua, TTMA your wedding! Colors, drama, best song, etc (or what you'd love to have if you're not married): My wedding was small under 100 people in a barn (like a rental place not someone’s back yard tho ) we got engaged at 18/19 married 21/22 so we didn’t have loads of money to throw at it but if I could go back and do it all again I wouldn’t change a thing. Our color was mint. I had a lace dress we all wore cowboy boots I made the centerpieces simple with mason jars candles wood slabs etc. so everything that make some people cringe lol. We had a DJ That also taught a few songs in line dancing. Typing this out it sounds so hillbilly but it really looked more out together then that swear lol. Share any U/S or bump pics if you'd like: oh shoot I should take some belly pictures soon I don’t have any this pregnancy.

nmom one of the best weddings I’ve ever gone to was in a barn, where they decorated with mason jars and had line dancing. It was so sweet and fun! They also had it catered by a BBQ place, which was literally the best wedding food I’ve ever had.

I came across some information saying that Rhogram shots are normally done at 28 weeks, my doctor didn’t mention anything today. Can this wait two weeks until I go back or should I call tomorrow?

Baby is the size of a: Butternut squash
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM, third pregnancy

IHO a friend eloping this weekend in Antigua, TTMA your wedding! Colors, drama, best song, etc (or what you'd love to have if you're not married):
I’m totally biased, but I loved our wedding, and I think it was the best wedding we’ve been to. We got married outside on a patio overlooking a little pond. Reception was inside. We invited over 500 and had about 275 attend. We got married in the evening, but had breakfast for the meal. We had a buffet with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, corned beef hash, and smoked salmon. We had custom omelette station where guests could make their own omelettes. We also had waffle and pancake stations with toppings. We had a coffee bar with alcoholic and nonalcoholic mix ins (Baileys, Kahlua, and Frangelico and their equivalents). We had cinnamon rolls on the coffee bar. Our cake was amazing! We had such an amazing time!

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 26 + 3 / April 19 / RCS April 12
Baby is the size of a: butternut squash
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Pink
Appointments: I had one last week. Passed my Glucose test and thyroid looked good. Only excitement was being anemic, so now on iron. Oh and being told to slow down on the weight gain. I’m just so hungryyyyy
Symptoms: latest is the explosion of veins on my leg, I look like I lost a leg fight or something. No energy, grumpiness, and now some weird pain in my leg when I walk.
Milestones: not killing anyone or quitting my job on a whim
Rants/Raves/Vents: I’m just grumpy. H is helping with housework more, but only if I very specifically ask.
IHO a friend eloping this weekend in Antigua, TTMA your wedding! Colors, drama, best song, etc (or what you'd love to have if you're not married):
I wish we had been older when we got married, because I feel like we were just so young and didn’t truly appreciate the day. I’d love to have a 10 year ceremony. Neither of us like to be the center of attention and had a large wedding. The stress and anxiety made me seriously ill all day / night. We finally got back to the hotel and while H showered, I finally dug into the boxes of leftovers and felt so much better.
But it was beautiful and I hear our band was fun 😂

TTMA your wedding! Colors, drama, best song, etc (or what you'd love to have if you're not married): not a wedding person, called ours off when inlaws made me too anxious, later got married after second kid was born in my grandma’s backyard by one of MH’s coworkers. A freak thunder and rain storm erupted right after the ceremony finished, it was exciting and funny. I’m very happy to be married but weddings just aren’t for me.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 29 weeks due April first.
Baby is the size of a: butternut squash
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Pink
Appointments: just had one today starting every 2 weeks now.
Symptoms: constipation is the worst right now otherwise, i feel pretty good.
Milestones: 3rd tri.
Rants/Raves/Vents: My sister saw a list of names i like for this baby. Then casually mentions to me, i am not allowed to name this baby one of the names, which is the name on the list i like most because "when she gets pregnant with her next kid if its a girl she wants to use that name." I am really annoyed about this. She is not pregnant or trying right now and who knows if when she is it will be a girl, she has 3 boys right now. I was really hoping to use this name, if I could get my husband on board. He does not love it as much as me atm. So I guess thats a saving grace it wasnt our choice yet.
IHO a friend eloping this weekend in Antigua, TTMA your wedding! Colors, drama, best song, etc (or what you'd love to have if you're not married): We got married in my catholic church, colors were red and turquoise. Our reception was at a golf course. We had about 250 people there. Our dj came with props for the guests dancing(sun glasses, blow up guitars and mics) which was really fun. I had the best time, but never want to plan a wedding again. No real drama that I remember.

I should have moved the names to like my bedroom or something i guess.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 31 wks
Baby is the size of a: small- clawed otter
FTM/STM/TTM/etc:ttm
Team:girl
Appointments: next tues
Symptoms: Baby is kicking my ribs,less room to breathe, peeing a lot at night, trouble sleeping
Milestones: -
Rants/Raves/Vents: my iron test came back low so now I am on supplements. So far I have had no adverse affects which is good. I was worried because I have never taken such a high dose before. Other than that I am feeling ok but overwhelmed. I just want to relax and nest and be cozy but just this week my husband's aunt, uncle and cousin wanted to come visit and then my mil said she wants to come beginning february. I am in a please leave me alone mood and wishing we bought a smaller house so they can't stay here haha
IHO a friend eloping this weekend in Antigua, TTMA your wedding! Colors, drama, best song, etc (or what you'd love to have if you're not married): When we got married I wanted a quick outdoor winter wedding but there ended up not being snow that year and 100 km winds instead. The power had gone out at the venue earlier but all worked out and we made do and moved it inside. We had hot chocolate for after the ceremony and my husband's family made awesome pies and tarts which I only saw pictures of and never got to eat. Our colours were light blue,dark brown, and ivory. We had Asian inspired theme decor and menu, as we met in Korea. We had cherry blossoms decorating our cake/cupcakes. The blossom season was my favourite while living there. We also had an ice cream sundae bar which was the yummiest.

So rude of her, jewelsofthenile I think if you get H on board then you can say 'won't it be fun if you have a girl and the cousins have the same name now!' Just to irk her, lol. But sorry, no. You don't get to call dibs on names.

I came across some information saying that Rhogram shots are normally done at 28 weeks, my doctor didn’t mention anything today. Can this wait two weeks until I go back or should I call tomorrow? I'd call....my doc rescheduled my glucose test because Rhogam has to be done at or near 28 weeks. At least that's what they told me.

Weeks pregnant/Due date: 26+6 / April 17th
Baby is the size of a: head of lettuce
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Boy
Appointments: This Thursday for glucose, Monday for Rhogam shot
Symptoms: lots of peeing, movement, harder to get up after laying down, etc.
Milestones: When does the 3rd trimester start? 27 or 28 weeks? If it's 27 then I'm almost there!
Rants/Raves/Vents: We went through a lot of our baby stuff this weekend, his room is now stocked with clothes for the first 6 months and an obscene amount of toys. There is a pile of boxes and bags currently in our basement to get rid of/donate/sell, mostly girl clothes (holy hell I forgot how many clothes DD had) and boxes of shoes, toys and blankets.
IHO a friend eloping this weekend in Antigua, TTMA your wedding! Colors, drama, best song, etc (or what you'd love to have if you're not married): My wedding was...stressful. I would do it again the same way (minus the church wedding), but I'd be much more forceful about not letting other people insert their opinions. The actual day of was very nice though. Blue and silver colors, amazing food and music and an after party on the patio of the hotel.

Milestones: When does the 3rd trimester start? 27 or 28 weeks? If it's 27 then I'm almost there! I googled this a couple days ago because I wasn't sure and apparently it's a question that gets people REALLY REALLY worked up about math. My OB goes by 27 weeks, but some go by 26 or 28 weeks. If you go by dividing 40 by 3, each trimester is 13.3 weeks - so 3rd tri would start at 26.6 weeks. Others consider it being broken down by 9 months - so 1st tri is month 1-3, 2nd is 4-6 - so 3rd tri is the start of month 7. 7 months x 4 weeks=28 weeks. So... I have no idea lol.
