Weeks Pregnant: 21+1


Baby is the Size of a: baby bok choy


Appointments: Nothing until my 24 week appt, first week of April


Team? Green/blue/pink? Green!


Rants/Raves? Work is busy. I have a ton to do before my maternity leave, with this software upgrade (keep in mind, I am more a lab tech than a software person). It's a lot. Raves- I did some organizing in our house, as a preliminary step to get things ready to move the girls into one room and give the baby a room. Also, our bathroom remodels (we had both baths done) are so close to being done!

How are you feeling? Okay. Tired. The nausea seems to be a little less, but the reflux is keeping the nausea up. The time change also kicked my ass more than usual. And my SPD is really becoming troublesome.

GTKY: What's your favorite dessert? I love almost all forms of dessert, but ice cream is definitely my fave. I ordered a bunch of pints of Jeni's ice cream to be delivered to our house (we don't have shops here). It was $$$ and totally worth it.

Appointments: anatomy scan on. 3/29 and follow up ob appointment right after


Team? Green/blue/pink: Blue


Rants/Raves: I’m finally doing better. I’m past the worst of Covid thank goodness!


How are you feeling: just really tired still and have a lingering cough. Otherwise I’m feeling much better than I was! My jaw has been healing nicely too.


GTKY: What's your favorite dessert? Oh man this is a hard question. I love fruit dessert- cobblers, pies, parfaits, etc. Definitely much better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I haven’t wanted anything sweet since I got pregnant though!

thatgolfb we love jenis! It’s semi local to me and so delicious! We now have a shop close and I’m so happy about that.

Weeks Pregnant: 18


Baby is the Size of a: cucumber


Appointments: 4/8 for the a/s and ob appointment right after


Team? Green/blue/pink? Blue


Rants/Raves? I’ve been really dizzy/having vertigo symptoms the last week almost. My OB said to go to urgent care/GD so I’m planning on going to urgent care today. I kept hoping it would just go away on its own. I just want to make sure everything is fine and if I have to deal with dizziness I will.


How are you feeling? Other than dizzy pretty good/normal. My RLP hasn’t been bad this week but that might be because I’m not doing much because of dizziness.


GTKY: What's your favorite dessert? S’mores, cheesecake, cake, brownies, ice cream. Lately I’ve been wanting ice cream as a pre bed snack.

Weeks Pregnant: 17

Baby is the Size of a: pomegranate

Appointments: 4/5 for AS

Team? Green/blue/pink? Pink

Rants/Raves? Work is still crazy. I’m hoping I can get my teamed trained on a lot of my responsibilities so I don’t have to work much when I’m off

How are you feeling? Pretty good. I think I need to stop picking up my kids as much because I’ve had some cramping. My 17 month old is big at 32lbs and it’s starting to be too much.

GTKY: What's your favorite dessert? I like banana pudding a lot, cheesecake from this local place and ice cream

Baby is the size of a: medium banana

Appointments: 4/8 for OB and 4/9 for echocardiogram at high risk OB (it was explained that this was standard for IVF pregnancy)

Team? Green/Blue/Pink? Intended parents are team blue 💙

Rants/Raves? I’m so happy it’s spring! The weather warming up has had such a positive impact on my mood.

How are you feeling? I’m feeling a lot bigger within the last couple of weeks. I’m having some lower back pain and just feeling like I have to slow down a little. sarahh I am also thinking that I have to slow down on picking up DD (25lbs).

GTKY: What’s your favorite dessert? I like so many desserts but fruit pie is my favorite. I love cherry and apple and blueberry.

Update- I went to urgent care for the dizziness. Pretty much what I expected- let’s try treating sinuses first and see if that helps. 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well at least I have something to try. I’m really hoping to avoid the vertigo exercises so I don’t throw up/make it worse before it gets better.

Ugh, I'm sorry. I got bouts of dizziness in first tri and it was so unnerving. I hope it goes away soon.

sarahh, friendofdobby, I have been having trouble picking up DD2 and I think I need to try to stop, but she is so sweet when she asks me to hold her. lol. But girl is almost 40 lb! I make tall, heavy kids, lmao.

I don't even try with 65-ish lb DD1 anymore. Plus she is quickly catching up to me in height, at barely 7...

[sarahh]

thatgolfb my oldest is light for her age (40lbs and 5.5) but the other two weigh about the same (32lbs and 34lbs) and are 3 and 16 months. Of course the baby wants to be held the most but she’s huge and mostly dead weight. And not like she understands why I can’t carry her so much anymore!

[mrspants]

[mention]thatgolfb [/mention] thanks. Last night/today has been much better so I’m hoping it was that I had just enough sinus gross that was triggering it. I’m feeling almost normal today. The dizziness was giving me slight hangover vibes and not fun.
