week/fruit/edd: 16+1/avocado/11-8

appointments: my next one is a week and a half away at 17+5. I somehow got off of their usual schedule, so they’re having me come in next week to do bloodwork and then 3 weeks after that for my anatomy scan. I’m hopeful they will let DH come for that but it sounds unlikely

team: blue

milestones: I’ve felt little flutters here and there but I 100% just felt a good solid whack low in my belly 😂

symptoms: mostly just tired. I still have evening nausea but at least I can get through the day mostly fine.

rants/raves/vents: I think I’m going to make a separate post but I’m having a lot of anxiety about who will watch DD when kiddo comes. My hospital’s current policy doesn’t allow partners to leave so I need someone to care for her for 2-3 days and our families are all 7+ hour drives away.

gtky: have you announced on social media? Not yet. It’s not a secret but I waited until 20 weeks with DD and I’ll do that again with this one.

week/fruit/edd: 13 weeks; small peach; 12/1

ftm, etc: TTM

appointments: I have a telehealth appt on Friday with a midwife from the birth center. I had an asymptomatic UTI and need to do a repeat urine culture to make sure it cleared up. And now I have this weird itchy, bumpy rash on my finger and face/neck that’s not clearing up. So I’m waiting for them to call me back about what they want to do. I’m hoping they’ll just have me come in and do my appt in person and skip the telehealth one.

team: Green

milestones: 13 weeks! Is this second trimester? I can’t remember 🤦🏻‍♀️

symptoms: Heartburn and some nausea

rants/raves/vents: I’ve got nothing.

gtky: have you announced on social media? No. We still haven’t even announced to all of our family yet.

Fearsy I think it’s sometime between 13-14 weeks?

I haven’t told most of my family because the lot of them are the worst and my side is massive. I told my parents, sister and grandparents, and I told my mom she could share with my great aunts. My aunts and cousins can find out when I post on IG/FB.

week/fruit/edd:15+2 /eclair/ 11/15

ftm, etc: ttm

appointments: friday

team: finding out

milestones:

symptoms: headaches that last for days (which apparently can get worse in 2nd tri)

rants/raves/vents: nothing really although i feel like i woke up with a 20+ week bump and i am officially in maternity pants.

gtky: have you announced on social media: no social media here but have told most friends and family at this point. we also finally told the girls and dd1 is excited to be there when the “baby pops out”🤣 she was also upset that we didn’t tell her sooner and then inspected my belly and informed me that it was, in fact getting bigger. she is really excited though and it’s pretty sweet. i pretty much just told my mom to spread the news because i really don’t like announcing.

week/fruit/edd: 13/lemon

ftm, etc: STM

appointments: Nothing until mid-June

team: Pink!

milestones: Nothing yet. I’m anxiously awaiting feeling her and starting to show. I want some obvious pregnancy signs!

symptoms: None really. I get tired a little easier than usual, but that’s about it.

rants/raves/vents: I’ve been shopping nonstop. Might need an intervention soon, but girl stuff is so darn adorable!

gtky: have you announced on social media? Not planning on it. I usually only post political stuff on SM lol

week/fruit/edd: 15+3/avocado

ftm, etc: stm

appointments: next week

team: pink!

milestones: firmly in 2nd trimester.

symptoms: still nauseous here and there but way better. Tired a lot and need to eat all the time.

rants/raves/vents: I fell down the stairs while holding DS today. It scared the daylights out of me but I think the baby is fine and DS is fine. I twisted to avoid hurting DS and hurt my knee, foot, and ass. At first I thought I broke my foot and I was home alone (all day/night) with my phone across the room. DS is 3 but he has significant delays and is completely nonverbal. This could have been really really bad and the what ifs are a little haunting. I'm glad I was able to contort and slow us down because we were at the top of the stairs.

gtky: have you announced on social media? Yes. I'm very active and open on social media. I have shared a lot about our journey with our miscarriage and through all of DS's journey. For me it is part of how I advocate. I announced a while ago and this week we announced the sex.
