Baby is the Size of a: Hawaiian pineapple
FTM/STM/TTM/etc.: Second earthside kiddo
Team: Green
Appointments: Friday! Growth ultrasound.
How are you feeling? Complicated. Not about pregnancy, just some intense life events.
Rants/raves? I probably have some, but my brain is fried, so I can't think. 😅
GTKY: What hobbies do you have, or how do you spend your free time when you're not chasing kiddos around? Normally, my hobbies are reading, playing video games, crafting, general nerdery. Lately, I haven't really participated on any of it. 😅😅 Lots of YouTube/Twitch and Hulu when the kiddo is napping.

Rama, 29?! CRAZY.

Weeks Pregnant: 20+2...half baked!


Baby is the Size of a: kitten


FTM/STM/TTM/etc.: TTM


Team: Blue


Appointments: 12/22 I believe with a midwife


How are you feeling? Feeling good. My back hurts often, which isn't uncommon even when I'm not pregnant.


Rants/raves? RAVE: My sister is at the hospital right now being induced! My nephew will be here soon and I'm soooo excited! RANT: My dad tested positive for COVID yesterday. He's doing alright so far but ugh. I'm hoping my mom can miraculously avoid it and that he feels better asap. I know mom is super bummed they obviously won't get to meet my sister's baby for some time now. I'm also super glad we stuck to just our little family of 4 for Thanksgiving so we weren't exposed prior to dad's symptoms showing up!


GTKY - What hobbies do you have, or how do you spend your free time when you're not chasing kiddos around? I have zero hobbies since becoming a mom. I know I should prioritize it, but I'm just too tired. I guess you could say my hobby is hunting down the cutest B/G twin sets of clothes. I also enjoy interior design. So online shopping, LOL. But really, after the kids are in bed, I mostly watch TV or clean or sleep.

Weeks Pregnant: 23&6

Baby is the Size of a: Grapefruit according to one app...large mango according to the other

FTM/STM/TTM/etc.: STM

Team: Pink

Appointments: Next Friday for a general check up and my glucose test which I am 99.9% sure I am going to fail. Sigh.

How are you feeling? On the whole I feel okay, not too uncomfortable yet, BUT I just have a lot of weird things going on. My skin is a mess. I have a weird rash on my hands that I think might be eczema which is weird because I've never had that before now. I'm covered in skin tags too especially all around my boobs, ugh. My skin is just so so dry and uncomfortable. I also have a super fast pulse and even going up the stairs makes my heart race. My OB thought it might be low iron, but if it doesn't get better and it's not she mentioned seeing a cardiologist. Also ugh.

Rants/raves? Just above for all my weirdness.

GTKY - What hobbies do you have, or how do you spend your free time when you're not chasing kiddos around? I love reading and playing video games. Thank goodness for Animal Crossing in the time of COVID.

I'm a Jan/Feb transplant because I was the only preggly on the board. 😅

[culinarycanary]

Weeks Pregnant: 19+6, halfway tomorrow!

Baby is the Size of a:zucchini

FTM/STM/TTM/etc.:STM

Team:Green

Appointments: Anatomy scan tomorrow

How are you feeling? Overall pretty good. My lower back and hips are so tight and cause me some pain, but as long as I stay on top of stretching then it's pretty managable.

Rants/raves? I'm a ballet teacher, and we have to go virtual these last two weeks of the semester as COVID cases are on the rise in my area. I HATE teaching from home. HATE.

GTKY - What hobbies do you have, or how do you spend your free time when you're not chasing kiddos around? Does staring at my phone count? I don't really have any hobbies. I watch tv, scroll through my phone, or take care of things around the house. Right now, I'm totally addicted to the game Among Us.

Weeks Pregnant: 22 weeks today.

Baby is the Size of a: bell pepper

Team: boy/girl

Appointments: just had one on Monday. Everything looks good. Babies are great and cervix is long and closed.

How are you feeling? - sooooo tired. I been taking a nap everyday.

Rants/raves? - so I had two spotting scares recently. One at 18 weeks and another one at 21 weeks. First one was because of sex 🙈. Second one was because I’ve been overdoing it with walking and cleaning and what not. It was scary. I thought I lost my babies. Anyway, all is well. Cervix is closed and babies are good. The bleeding was due because I have placenta previa. Baby girls placenta is right on my cervix. They hope it will move, but in the meantime I’m grounded from sex and on somewhat of a pelvic rest. I see MFM in two weeks so let’s see where the placenta is then.


GTKY - What hobbies do you have, or how do you spend your free time when you're not chasing kiddos around?

I spend a lot of time reading Harry Potter fan fiction.

[pbandj714]

Sorry about the scares miawallace! I had some this pregnancy, too, and it's so scary.

[snickerdoodle]

Weeks Pregnant: 19+4


Baby is the Size of a: I don’t remember


FTM/STM/TTM/etc.: 3rd



Team: finding out next week. Finally!



Appointments: next Thursday with MFM for anatomy scan. Then following week with OB



How are you feeling? Nothing too bad. Tired and abdomen tightness/discomfort



Rants/raves? So my new OB (cuz of insurance change) referred me to MFM at my first appointment because I have had to previous pregnancies with GD. Never had to do that with my previous pregnancies with a different OB. Not sure if it will be a rant or a rave. Meet with MFM next week for the first time.
I’m testing my blood sugars now because the glucose test makes me very sick. And they are overall good. So happy about that. Not happy about poking myself 4x a day.



GTKY - What hobbies do you have, or how do you spend your free time when you're not chasing kiddos around?
Currently Facebook and tv are al I have energy/time for. Also my H got me into animal crossing, I’m not normally a big video game person. In the past I love to read and craft. Also love board games.

[sundog]

Weeks Pregnant: 21+5

FTM/STM/TTM/etc.: 4th

Team: Pink

Appointments: Nothin til the 18th

How are you feeling? Hi, hello, this is where I open up a bit. I’m stressed the f out. Worried about COVID (2 kids are in-person for school), burnt out with parenting/general household stuff and no time for myself anymore, my H working stupid long hours.. just, ugh. I’m tired of the stress and monotony of this year. And my pubic bone feels like it’s being sliced in half with a hot knife, so yay.

Rants/raves? Guess I ranted above, oops. A rave, though! Dd2 turned 1 this past weekend! I’m kinda cry-laughing about coming out of the baby stage and heading right back into it in a few months.

GTKY - What hobbies do you have, or how do you spend your free time when you're not chasing kiddos around?

Free time?? What’s that?! Really though- I’m in a community choir but haven’t been doing that this year (thanks, COVID!). I like hiking, reading, baking- all things that are way more therapeutic when I’m alone.

[strawberrykiki]

sundog I feel you on the stress. I’m so happy for my healthy toddler and healthy baby girl baking but man this year has really sucked the big one.

[Rama]

sundog 100% feel you on the hot pile of garbage this year has been. COVID is rising in my area, too, and I just want to be able to go to the park without a cloud of anxiety following me. 😭
