Size:
Gameboy

Upcoming Appointments:
Had my 20 week check in this morning. All seemed normal and she checked my pelvis for a hernia and nothing's there so I got the "sorry, it's just your pregnancy" talk, which is what what I expected.

Symptoms/concerns/milestones:
I'll be halfway to the due date this week which is nuts to me because I have yet to make the full 40 weeks! (Close with DD, but officially over halfway to her gestational age too!)

GTKY: how did you and your SO meet?
I grew up in a tiny little town, moved to the city for a bit when I graduated. New high school teacher starts in my tiny little town and my mom insists he's sooooo cuuute. Lol. Eventually we met a couple times and after a coming down for a hockey game in my hometown with some friends and a couple drinks we started talking more and well, got to know each other better, baha.
Got a text a couple weeks later asking what I was doing for Valentines Day and the rest is pretty much history from there.

And yea, small town, my poor brother was still in grade 10 and his student and on his volleyball team 😂 luckily it didn't make things awkward and they are really good friends. Our wedding was a week after his grade 12 graduation, haha.

Size: A navel orange

Upcoming Appointments: Next check up is in two weeks, and then my A/S will be in early October.

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: Feeling a little better this week- just ongoing headaches and cramps.

GTKY: how did you and your SO meet? We only grew up about 4 miles apart from each other, but didn't meet until our first week of college, which was about 5 hours from home! We were best friends all freshman and sophomore year. We started dating junior year, and haven't been apart since.

How far along are you? 20w0d

Size: a Belgian endive (whatever that is???)

Upcoming Appointments: I was supposed to have my anatomy scan today but it got rescheduled to Friday 😭 I have my regular checkup next week too.

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: Over halfway there!! I'm assuming. DD came at 38w and in less than 8 hours and they told me to expect #2 to be equally early and speedy so I'm hoping that means I'm over halfway 😂😂. Symptoms aren't too bad right now, I have been experiencing some of the loosy goosy tendons despite exercising regularly, otherwise everything is good!

GTKY: how did you and your SO meet? Our parents met right after they got married so they've been friends for 30 years! DH and I didn't meet in person until college but knew of each other our whole lives & lived 45 min apart!

How far along are you? 21w6d

Size: Endive or Baseball hat

Upcoming Appointments: Follow-up ultrasound Wednesday to get the pics she couldn't get at my AS. I am hoping I can get some profile pics this time if baby cooperates!

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: A lot of the same. I was on my feet all weekend and my ankles were really swollen. It's cooled down here so I hope that continues and that the swelling I've had goes away. Also exhaustion and insomnia both continue.

GTKY: how did you and your SO meet? We met at a bar. I was about to turn 30 and went downtown with one of my friends. DH happened to be there because some of his buddies came up with him from base to stay with his grandparents a town over. Luckily for him DH lied and told me he was a few years older than he was (he was actually only 24!). We talked on and off for a few months before he deployed again and when he got hurt we skyped a lot from the hospital in Germany. When he got back we officially started dating and when he was medically discharged he moved in with me (about 6 months later).

Just had anatomy scan a few days ago (it's a girl!), next appointment isn't for a few weeks.

Symptoms: I have sciatic pain on my left side (that's the pain above your butt, right?) Kind of bummed it already hurts and I still have almost 5 months left!

GTKY: how did you and your SO meet?

We were in the same school since 5th grade, but didn't speak to each other until 10th grade (very different social groups.) he was a huge nerd, and I was in the artsy (ok fine, stoner) friend group. One day I just decided I was attracted to him, looked up his number in the phone book and called. We talked online for a few months, started dating in 11th grade, and have been together ever since. Survived long distance through college, then a year of cross-continental long distance after college, and will happily never be doing that again.

How far along are you? 14 weeks + 2 days

Size: An orange or a beet

Upcoming Appointments: I have a regular check up in about 2 weeks with a doppler and will be scheduling my AS for the first week in October most likely.

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: Still some nausea and major food/smell aversions. I'm also starting to get achy in my stomach area in the evenings. I'm sure it's just things stretching and growing, and it doesn't hurt, per se, more just uncomfortable, and coupled with the nausea, makes me want to lay down and be useless.

GTKY: how did you and your SO meet? We are high school sweethearts.

The headaches and stomach aches.

GTKY: H and I were born 2 days apart in the same hospital. Weird! We went to the same school but didn't get close until about 11th grade as friends.

Size: chicken breast?

Upcoming Appointments: A/S tomorrow!

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: MH and DS felt the baby's movement for the first time last week! I'm feeling at least daily, if not several times a day movement, which I love.

GTKY: how did you and your SO meet? We were next door neighbors in college! I had recently been dumped and needed a date to a wedding. He was my date, and we have been together ever since!

Size: zucchini (13oz as per today's scan! 😊)

Upcoming Appointments: yesterday ob, today scan! Everything looks great, babe is getting big!

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: my boobs grew overnight (literally)! Lol almost half way, woot! 😊

GTKY: how did you and your SO meet? He was visiting a friend from OOT and I was a waitress and waiting on his table (twice). I gave my number to his friend and of course she gave it to him. We texted and I drive him from the Airport to the port once after and then decided he was a good guy and it was worth the risk of visiting, soo he flew me out the next time he was home (he traveled a lot for work). We did long distance for a year and then I moved to be with him!

Size: sweet potato

Upcoming Appointments: Nothing until an OB appointment next Weds, then my anatomy scan next Fri

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: Lots of movement! Enough so that it keeps me awake if I'm having trouble sleeping at night

GTKY: how did you and your SO meet? We met in the library at college. Except, funnily enough, he didn't go to my college. I worked in the library making IDs, and he needed a certain one made to be able to use the college fitness center. Side note: I vaguely thought he was a different guy I had already gone on a date with when we first met. I met...a lot of guys at that job.

Size:zucchini

Upcoming Appointments: FRIDAY my anatomy scan!

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: still sick. 😒 I'm trying not to be too anxious about the scan... but I know it's a pivotal one to show us how the twins are doing. I have lots of fears (one lagging behind, one passing, etc) but I'm trying to be positive. 😬

GTKY: how did you and your SO meet? I'm friends with his older sister. His appendix burst, she called me because she was worried about him. I decided to send him a get well present. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[marygracerich]

I am 21 weeks today.
Baby is the size of a banana
I am tired but managing. I have raging pain in my crotch area almost all the time. I have to ask my dr about it when I see her on the 7th. We had our anatomy scan yesterday. They didn't say anything so I am assuming everything went well. We also found out that it's a boy. 😊
I met MH is high school but we didn't date until our bffs got engaged.

Mango?

Upcoming Appointments:
First OB appointment on the 14th. It's at the hospital so will probably schedule my ultrasound while I'm there. Last time they got me in in 2 days.

Symptoms/concerns/milestones:
Much better than a few weeks ago. Still some nausea and pretty tired.

GTKY: how did you and your SO meet?
My cousin is a librarian and was hosting a speed dating event there. She was worried she wouldn't have enough people and talked me into going. Both you and the guy had to write down each other's names in order to be matched and get contact info. Immediately after she called me, asked why I didn't write down this one name because he had put 3 exclamation points beside mine. Because of her, we went for dinner and just had our third wedding anniversary yesterday.

Size: orange

Upcoming Appointments: A/S on 9/21! We already know it's a boy but I can't wait to see him!!

Symptoms/concerns/milestones: My lower back and tailbone are already causing me lots of issues which suck. I'm seeing my chiro, and stretching a lot, but it's still a pain in the ass (literally).

GTKY: how did you and your SO meet? Ha well that's a long and semi-scandalous story. To make it short - MH was friends with my ex-boyfriend.
