Week/EDD: 23w 4d, due 6/6

Baby is the size of: my app says grapefruit

FTM, Etc: FTM

Team: 💙

Appointments: 24w OB visit on Friday

Milestones: feeling movement pretty much everyday now!

Symptoms: tired, back pain, but otherwise good

Rants: H was gone part of last week for his dad’s surprise 75th bday celebration. When I picked him up from the airport, he had a horrible migraine that lasted until the next morning. Not his fault, but I was irrationally cranky that we still didn’t even get to really spend time together once he got home. He’s feeling better now at least. I feel bad for being cranky about it, but it sucks to not have him home, and then need to take care of him.

Raves: I’ve started washing the cloth diapers I’ve been collecting, and it makes me so happy!

Week/EDD: 25w 1d

Baby is the size of: Rutabega? Which, I've never eaten. Or possibly even seen in person?

FTM, Etc: STM

Team: Blue

Appointments: 28 week, glucose screening March 5th

Milestones: Maayybbee I felt him have hiccups? A couple of nights ago he was sitting really low and hitting me in the cervix (his favorite place to hit) every couple of seconds.

Symptoms: Just emotional still. I feel like my belly kind of sucked back in, I don't feel as big as I did a couple weeks ago. Maybe I'm just adjusting for the weight.

Rants: Just starting to worry about labor. I don't like not having a plan. Maybe at my next appointment I'll get to have a good talk with my dr.

Raves: This kid is really active. With DS1, he would move occasionally, have some active times etc, but this kid is always on the move. It's kind of distracting. And he likes to kick/punch really low, which hurts. During his ultrasound he was head down and tucked in tight, he wasn't very cooperative.

Week/EDD: 27, 5/10

Baby is the size of: a bunch of bananas

FTM, Etc: TTM, DS 2, DD 4

Team: green

Appointments: friday

Milestones: apparently a second viability milestone, having to do with lung development. The app did not specify, and I know lungs are not fully developed yet.

Symptoms: tired, cranky, I have hit the point where if I drop something I stop to think if I really need it, or should I just leave it there

Rants: I am still really overwhelmed and stressed about my GD diagnosis. So far my numbers have been fine, but everything I read says it gets harder and harder to control. I realize I am being a baby about it all, and hopefully I can learn to better accept this.

Raves: I still just love feeling baby move, I think it is so neat.

Week/EDD: 27, may 9. RCS may 2

Baby is the size of : a bunch of bananas

Team: green

Milestones: sxheduled my c section last week

Symptoms: headaches but I think that's more related to the weather

Rants: I've had a bad headache for a week now and can't seem to get rid of it.

Raves: DH was lout of town this weekend and I was kind of nervous about solo parenting DD while not feeling the best. But we actually had a really good time and the weekend went by so fast.

Also I got a lot of major things crossed of my to do list last week and I'm really proud of myself for not procrastinating like I usually do. I even made it to the DMV and got my license renewed. So glad to not have to worry about that for a while!

Week/EDD: 21w4d/June 20

Baby is the size of: bok Choy

FTM, Etc: STM

Team: blue

Appointments: GD test March 5th

Milestones: So much movement and also feeling huge.

Symptoms: So many emotions. I keep waking up from dreams crying and feeling like a mess.

Rants: I’m feeling kind of awful today and I’m not sure what’s up.

Raves: I am loving feeling all the movements. DS is also so stinking excited to have a baby brother! I am a little concerned about how much less he will get of me though and that he doesn’t quite understand how big of a change it will be. He still loves to sit on my lap and be carried sometimes (both are getting harder as both he and my belly get bigger) and I don’t want to deny him it bc it won’t last forever so I’m all emotional about that too.

Week/EDD: 27, 5/11

Baby is the size of: a bunch of bananas

FTM, Etc: 3rd time mom, DD1 is 4, DD2 is 20 months (will be 1 month shy of 2 when 3rd comes)

Team: pink

Appointments: Next Thursday

Milestones: not sure

Symptoms: more tired than I remember being at this point in pregnancy with my other two. Also have started having some pelvic cramping, which I read is normal, but will discuss with my dr next week unless they get more concerning.

Has anyone else had extended sensitive gag reflex? This time around I feel like I'm on the edge of vomiting all the time. Like, eating cereal hits me the wrong way, taking a pill, coughing. Ugh.
Rants: I have a cold with a really nasty cough. I've definitely peed myself a few times from the coughing ??? Not full on pants change, but having to change out undies, etc. So annoying and frustrating.
Raves: Getting more excited at how close we are getting, although some days I feel like I should already be 39 weeks lol. My oldest is really excited about the baby and it is so sweet. She kisses my stomach (the baby) and talks to her, talks about what she is eating (depending on what I eat), etc.

harrisonbergeron, I’m actually still on my nausea meds, and even with the meds some things still cause me to gag. Overall it’s gotten a lot better, but the most recent time I tried weaning off the meds I was still super nauseous.

ugh I'm sorry. It sounds like you have it worse than me. Luckily I generally can reel it in without getting sick, just the unpleasant tell tale signs that I'm about to get sick. I'm sorry you're dealing with this!

At least I’m not actually throwing up! I can handle an occasional gag reflex.

Week/EDD: 24w, June 4th

Baby is the size of: guys...I suck at looking these up...

FTM, Etc: TTM (5 yo girl, 3 yo boy)

Team: 💙💙💙💙

Appointments: US next week for f/u and then a regular ob appt the week after.

Milestones: viability, baby

Symptoms: tired, sick, sick and tired...not sure if both are technically preg related

Rants: I have passed two one hour glucose tests so far this time (had GD with my son) and I know I'm going to take it again at 26-28 weeks. I am already eating the GD diet and check my numbers and I'm fine but I keep feeling like...I just want the shoe to drop if I have it again. It's weird, I hope I dont have it but I'm also on edge each time I take my numbers! Rant over...I need a snickers (but not really)

Raves: my kids were precious Angels from heaven today. It doesnt happen often so I'm counting it as a win.
