Week/fruit/EDD: 17w3d, pomegranate, 11/8 (RCS probably a week before)
FTM, etc: 3TM
Appointments: AS June 18
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Pink
Milestones: Am regularly finding the heartbeat on my doppler but am not feeling regular movement yet. The doppler has been helping my anxiety a lot this pregnancy although I don't use it regularly.
Symptoms: exhaustion, RLP, headaches
Rants: My 40th birthday is this coming Sunday. I am feeling weird about it. I don't feel like I'm 40 (DH just turned 33) and I know I'll get a lot of attention about it on social media and at work which I don't like. I kind of wish no one knew.
Raves: We renewed our pool membership last week and went both days this weekend. I see myself sitting in the baby pool with my kids every weekend this summer, especially as I get bigger.
GTKY: What's your favorite piece of maternity clothing that you've bought this pregnancy or are using from a prior pregnancy? I got a new maxi skirt from Motherhood that I've been wearing a lot and a few dresses. I do have a question though. Has anyone found a bathing suit that they love? I am re-wearing the bottoms of a tankini from my last pregnancy and bought a new top that I like okay. The bottoms are too big but I'm hesitant to buy a new one because I will only get bigger and since this is my last pregnancy, I don't want to buy a ton of new stuff. I love some of the one pieces that I have found but I'm tall so when I get my size, the bottoms come up pretty high and cut into my butt. Also, rant, why don't maternity tankini tops have good coverage. I feel like everything is going to pop out.

Week/fruit/EDD: 16w3d, Nov 15
FTM, etc: STM
Appointments: 6/13, 18 week check up and 1hr glucose test
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): pink
Milestones: I think I felt baby girl move a few times this weekend! I had an elective ultrasound on Saturday to ease my fears and she was kicking up a storm in there, so I hope to feel more soon.
Symptoms: I've only been nauseous once this week and havent thrown up since last Sunday, so I'm really hoping those are easing up finally. Other than that I feel good.
Rants: I've been checking my sugars after meals occasionally since I had GD last pregnancy and I'm taking the 1hr next week. My numbers are doing ok, but I'm sure I'm still going to fail. I've had a few higher carb meals (but still within the GD limits) and what I thought was enough protien to balance it out and still had slightly higher numbers a few times. Boo.
Raves: I had a day all to myself this weekend, as my H and son were out of town. It was glorious! I havent had a day completely to myself in over 4 years.
GTKY: What's your favorite piece of maternity clothing that you've bought this pregnancy or are using from a prior pregnancy?
Well I bought a maternity cardigan and a pair of Old Navy capris last pregnancy that I just never stopped wearing over the last 4 years, so I guess those! They are comfy and still fit when I'm not pregnant and I love them.

sarahh, I have been wearing regular bottoms and a size up in a regular bikini top. And then I bought a maternity rash guard to go over top. I love it and it's working for me, so I'm not gonna mess with an actual maternity suit.

sarahh I haven't gotten it in yet, but I ordered a tankini top from pink blush. They had bottoms, but they weren't the same print and I didn't like the color they chose to coordinate with it, so I'm going to see if some bottoms I have match or I'll just take them with me to target or old navy to find something to match. I hope it fits well because I like the print.

Week/fruit/EDD: 10 weeks today! Size of a kumquat/ EDD 12/30
FTM, etc: STM
Appointments: I had a prenatal appointment and a surprise sonogram today, plus blood draw for NIPT.
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Can't wait to find out soon!!
Milestones: so, so close to the end of first trimester
Symptoms: constant hunger, RLP, some shortness of breath
Rants: They took a lot of blood and I've been extra tired today. I'd love it if I had more energy in the evening.
Raves: We had a really great anniversary weekend. Lots of productivity, and we picked up a bunch of new patio furniture; we only moved into the house last September and I'm really excited to hang out in the backyard this summer.

It's not maternity, but I love the chambray joggers I posted about last week. I also did get a big bag of summer maternity tops for $30 secondhand and there's some cute things in the mix there.

Week/fruit/EDD: 14 weeks, 12/3
FTM, etc: 3rd
Appointments: regular appt June 18
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Got the NIPT results yesterday... we’re team PINK!
Milestones:
Symptoms: RLP, tired.
Rants:
Raves: NIPT results show everything is negative! And I think I’m excited that it’s a girl? Maybe I need to let it marinate a while longer. Mostly I’m feeling like “oh shit, this is getting real!”
GTKY: What's your favorite piece of maternity clothing that you've bought this pregnancy or are using from a prior pregnancy? I found some really great jean shorts at target- super soft, a little stretchy, and they’re under-belly, which I’ve not used in previous pregnancies but surprisingly really like!

We're going to the beach in August and I'm not sure what to do about swimwear. I think I might get a few rash guards in a mix of short/ long sleeve. I like this one.  |

notblanche, I've been eyeing that rashguard as well. Do you wear another top under it? That is my hold up on it. My kids wear rashguards with nothing under but not sure that works for an adult.

I was an F cup pre-pregnancy lol so will definitely need to wear something underneath. I was thinking a bikini top. |

Congrats jnetx! How do you feel about it? When we heard it was girl #3 for us, I was a little disappointed at first but have gotten used to the idea now. |

I definitely understand how you feel jnetx. Now that I've known for over a month, I am picturing the girls growing up together and being friends (who knows if this will happen or not but it makes me feel better) and I'm sure your boys will be the same. I have two cousins that are sisters (one my age and one a year older) that had 2 and 3 boys and were each trying for a girl. They had their babies last November and both had boys again. So I remember their disappointment as well which makes me feel better for the way I was feeling when I found out. |

I know they will have a good time and I think boys are maybe a little bit cheaper as far as clothes and things. My H is already asking about a fourth though. Slow down dude! You and I should just do a little switcheroo after they are both here! (Kidding, obvi) |

jnetx, I've actually asked my cousins if they wanted to trade kids for a few days so they can get a taste of having a girl. Good thing for me that their kids are in elementary and not as needy as mine. Haha And you're right. I am sure boys are cheaper based on the amount of money I spend on girls clothing these days.

Week/fruit/EDD: 12w5d, Kiwi
Appointments: had one today! Got to hear the heartbeat and now I’ve calmed down a bit.
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out. Had the NIPT draw today.
Milestones: none I’m aware of.
Symptoms: nausea and food aversions are still bad but I haven’t vomited in awhile so that’s a plus.
Rants: I want to be able to eat and enjoy food!
Raves: I learned my uterus is a good big higher than where it “should” be at this point in time, likely because it’s not my first pregnancy. But it made me feel like at least it’s a legit bump and I can embrace it now 🤣
GTKY: What's your favorite piece of maternity clothing that you've bought this pregnancy or are using from a prior pregnancy? I have a zip up sweater that is just the most comfortable thing and also can easily be dressed up. Not that I need it right now, but I’m looking forward to when I can wear it again!
