babybean i am definitely not feeling as connected with this pregnancy...i think for me i just don't have the same amount of time i had to daydream about this baby. i'm not checking apps or googling constantly either. i guess if anything it's making this pregnancy fly by and it won't be long before they will be here!

Same. I’m also still sleeping on my back/belly and eating deli meat and soft serve ice cream. It’s very different but is flying by for sure. It’s kind of nice being more lax this time, eh?

[clementine]

Wait - are we really not supposed to eat soft serve ice cream?!

[tinyjoys]

clementine, my OB is more worried about the bacteria in soft serve ice cream or frozen yogurt than lunch meat or sushi. He still doesn't care if I eat any of it.

Assuming he is referring to the cleanliness of the soft serve or frozen yogurt machines and not frozen yogurt from the grocery store. Although, why one would purchase frozen yogurt at the grocery store over ice cream boggles my brain.

Weeks pregnant: 17+1

Baby is the size of a: pomegranate

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Blue

Appointments: A/S at the end of November

Symptoms: Growing belly, random nausea

Milestones:

Rants/Raves/Vents: Not pregnancy related but DH and I are going to a wedding this weekend and I’m excited. I rented a dress from RTR that will hopefully stretch enough for my belly.
I haven’t felt movement yet and I think I had by this point last time. Although when I had an U/S after the Doppler debacle I did have an anterior placenta which I’m assuming could make it harder to feel.
GTKY: What is your favorite candy? Skittles, starburst, Reese cups

Yep, referring to the machines & their cleanliness.

And I've been buying frozen yogurt at the store. I can't handle ice cream & most dairy this pregnancy so far, but yogurt, whether just refrigerated or frozen, has been okay.

Weeks pregnant: 16w5d

Baby is the size of a: dill pickle (which was very confusing then I realized that we only buy the mini ones 😂)

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Green

Appointments: NP visit yesterday with more blood work. She did a great job of validating my fears but also emphasizing that my DS risk is not something to stress over. (I also continued to google and it looks like my numbers are more “normal” based on my O dates than on the baby’s measurements. Since DD was a monster and we didn’t measure ahead at the very very beginning, I think the baby is just big and measuring ahead.)

Symptoms: exhausted and cranky. General disinterest in food. Unless it’s a grape fruit, queso, or a whopper, I just don’t care about eating. Nothing tastes good.

Milestones: More movement and I scheduled my AS! FFWC: I lied and said I’d be out of town after Thanksgiving so they’d do the scan before the holiday.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I also feel less connected (and yet more worried about?) this baby. I still haven’t publicly announced or even really told that many people and I feel a little bit guilty about it. Maybe I’ll announce via Christmas cards/pictures?

GTKY: What is your favorite candy? Gummy candy is I have to choose. Specifically sour gunny works and those green frogs that are white on the bottom.

[woodenshoes]

Weeks pregnant: 20 weeks, 4 days

Baby is the size of a: banana, Belgian endive

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: green

Appointments: next Tuesday I go to the MFM for my a/s, then I have an OB appointment next Wednesday.

Symptoms: nauseous, tired, random aches and pains

Milestones: I passed the halfway point.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I am anxious for my appointments next week.

GTKY: What is your favorite candy? Reese’s peanut butter cups, M and M’s, Sour Patch Kids

I remember at the end of my last pregnancy I found out that soft serve and runny eggs were technically “no’s”. I had been SO GOOD about sushi and was pissed that I “wasted” my risk on less delicious foods.

Now I’m just eating sushi and not giving any fucks.

Leaf 🌱 That's brilliant! I wish I would have thought about fibbing to have my scan done before Thanksgiving.

LOL thanks! I *know* that any time between 18-21 weeks is generally acceptable and DD measures big so I figured no harm, no foul.

”listeria risk” because the machines may not be properly cleaned. Funny thing is it’s always hummus that has listeria recalls, not the deli meat or soft serve ice cream. 🤔

[ArielMermaid]

When I was pregnant with my daughter I swear every vegetable had a listeria recall.
Ice cream didn't.
I came out a winner.

I got food poisoning from sushi when I was 8 weeks pregnant with my first. Food poisoning in your first tri is something of nightmares. Seriously the worst experience ever. I couldn't eat but not eating made my morning sickness worse so even after the extreme sickness coming from both ends subsided I couldn't get a reprieve.
