Weeks pregnant: 18w2d Baby is the size of a: Not really sure FTM/STM/TTM/etc: 4th Team: Blue Appointments: A/S in the 13 days. Symptoms: Gassy (bleh), hands numb, hip/back pain Milestones: Almost halfway through! Rants/Raves/Vents: I want to get to a point where I can feel baby move consistently through the day. It's very sporadic still. I use my doppler 1-2 times per day still to keep my anxiety at bay. GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? Overall, I'm about halfway done. I'm stuck on my 18 year old DS who has given me no ideas. He has a job on top of going to school and so he just buys himself the things he wants. This makes it hard for me as he has no ideas to tell me and I have no clue either. He might just get cash.

Bonus points for bloat, blump, bump pics:) Weeks pregnant: 20w2d Baby is the size of a: banana FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM Team: green Appointments: few days away from anatomy scan Symptoms: tired, hungry, digestion issues Milestones: made it to the half way mark Rants/Raves/Vents: GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? Not stuck curious to know what trampoline you're looking at cornpop as that is on my list for my DS. It's so cold here so it's hard to get up the energy and ire to go out and shop. I know what I want to get, just actually have to drive and go get it.

Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? we mostly try to do gift cards to restaurants and other "experience" gifts - haven't started with those yet. we pick names for h's family and i usually struggle with it. maybe i'll start a thread when we finally do it

Weeks pregnant: 17w5d
Baby is the size of a: game controller
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Green
Appointments: AS in less than two weeks.
Symptoms: oh hey nausea, i thought you were gone. Also, I’m insanely irritable and tired.
Milestones: DH felt the baby move from the outside
Rants/Raves/Vents: i NEED a day off to catch up on chores and relax a little. But i can’t bc it looks like I’ll only have about 6 weeks of leave saved up when this LO arrives. This sucks so much.
GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? DD is almost done. DH is getting fancy headphones and some fun little stuff. I have a lot of shopping left to do for my immediately family and they are the WORST to shop for. I need to stalk my mom and sisters Pinterest accounts for ideas. My dad will probably get the dogist book and something relatively practical. My brother will get name brand clothing bc he’s picky.

Good morning!
Weeks pregnant: 21 today
Baby is the size of a: Banana
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Pink!
Appointments: Not until after Thanksgiving. A/S was a couple weeks ago.
Symptoms: None really. The anterior placenta thing sucks. I don't feel as much movement as I should by now, and although I feel her enough that I'm not panicky over it, it would be really nice to feel her more often, or have DS be able to feel her.
Milestones: Over halfway!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm finally starting to fill out my maternity pants, which is nice in some respects. Before they were way too baggy but nothing else fit.
GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? Yes, I have DS and my mom mostly done. DH is fun to shop for (although he has expensive hobbies lol).
Sorry about this terrible potty pic! It's the only full length mirror in the house!!

Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? I have a gift for each kid but that's it. We have a ton of expenses coming up and just trying to figure out our best plan of action. I'm usually shopping by now, but we are getting the girls new bedroom furniture and our youngest has a birthday the week before Christmas and then we need to buy baby shit cause you know baby. Plus we just had to shell out $1,800 for an unexpected car repair 2 weeks ago. It's like a band aid this time of year with money, got do it and just rip it off but you hesitate.3D from A/S:

Weeks pregnant: 16+3
Baby is the size of a: Dill Pickle/Action Figure
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: 4TM
Team: PINK
Appointments: Just saw MFM yesterday - we have a confirmed 2 vessel cord, which means they are worried about a missing kidney, heart issues, and growth. She has both kidneys, and a 4 chamber heart, but the Level 2 in a few weeks will confirm any not seen issues there. 2 vessel cord is a soft marker for T21, but she doesn't have any other markers there. He feels confident that she is NOT triploidy, and is convinced the twin sac (still hanging on) is the cause for the abnormal Panorama.
Symptoms: Tingling feet. Reflux. Tired.
Milestones: Pretty much knowing baby is okay!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I really need to watch what I eat. I can't gain too much because I'm already really overweight, and my joints hurt already. So I just need to be more accountable.
GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? Nope, and no. Because I don't even know where to start lol

yianna I’m glad everything is looking good despite the soft markers! Weeks pregnant: 22 weeks Baby is the size of a: a coconut FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM Team: Blue Appointments: I think in a week or so. Before thanksgiving at least. Symptoms: heartburn all the time! Still getting nauseous in the mornings. So tired all of the time. And lots of movement which is so reassuring. Milestones: I think we may have agreed on a name. Maybe. Possibly. But I think we are also hesitant to commit bc we don’t want to share with family until the birth and we don’t want to slip at Christmas. So maybe that’s why we are having a hard time saying yes. Rants/Raves/Vents: this pregnancy is so different from last time. Last time I was extremely emotional and weepy. This time it’s like I lost all sensitivity and I get so annoyed so easily. I’m not liking it at all. I think I’d rather be weepy 😂 GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? Not really. I am so terrible at presents. We do have most of the stuff for DS already but nothing for the rest of our families. This is from this weekend but close enough!

GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? We found a Nintendo Switch a few weeks ago and picked it up as a family gift, but other than that I haven't started shopping. I normally go shopping with DHs aunt and cousins on black Friday and I get pretty much everyone done then.

Weeks pregnant: 20w1d Baby is the size of a: can of soda / endive FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM Team: PINK Appointments: Not for 4 weeks Symptoms: Nausea, heartburn, general sense of malaise Milestones: Over half way! Ugh. Rants/Raves/Vents: This morning when I was sleeping, I was laying on my belly and could actually feel some kicks. It was so nice. GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? I'm mostly done on actual gifts. Or at least know what I'm getting. I need to figure out things for my parents. They just moved into a new house though so I may get them some things for their house. This dress really made me realize I need a maternity bra.

Weeks pregnant: 23w5d Baby is the size of a: chinchilla FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM Team:BLUE! Appointments: OB this Friday Symptoms: sciatic nerve pain has returned Milestones: Now that we know the gender, we're finally talking names and nursery decor, but I'm sure it will be years before we decide. Rants/Raves/Vents: We have our last regular Bradley class next week. We'll have 2 review classes early next year, but since the other couple in our class is due early Dec, we had to cram them in before then. I'm so happy we took the class and I feel like it will really help. I just hope we can remember all the things we learned by March! GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? I have only bought 1 thing for Christmas so far and that's a personalized book for my niece. I have ideas for my mom, but I'm at a loss for my dad, brother, MIL, FIL, and MH. MH loves anything related to his sports teams but he has way too many shirts/hoodies/trinkets. I was hoping to get him some sort of experience gift like tickets to a game, but it's too hard to plan without telling him. I'm open to ideas! Bump pic from our gender reveal this weekend.

Weeks pregnant: 22+1
Baby is the size of a: gineapig
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Green
Appointments: midwife tomorrow. MFM next week.
Symptoms: Not sleeping well.
Milestones: None?
Rants/Raves/Vents: Apparently with the new first trimester screening a lot of women are getting markers for placenta insufficiency and nothing is actually wrong. So, while it’s annoying to drive so far for the MFM it’s nice to know things are likely fine.
GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with?
I haven’t started yet but have ideas. MH saves all his change through the year and we roll it closer to Christmas. Half is for the kids and half he and I split. I use my portion for Christmas shopping. We haven’t rolled our coins yet so idk my budget (I go over anyway but am trying to be good this year.)

Weeks pregnant: 19,5 Baby is the size of a: Gameboy, adipose FTM/STM/TTM/etc: First take home baby Team: GreenAppointments: Next Friday with the OB Symptoms: Tired again, otherwise nothing special Milestones: Halfway! More movement. A/S pt 1 done! Rants/Raves/Vents: My MFM doesn't want me going past 39 weeks. I have feels about it. If my health and baby's health isn't at risk, I don't really want to force that timeline, but we'll see how badly I feel like fighting it when I'm actually in third tri. GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? I haven't really started shopping. So I have everyone to shop for still. <<;; That's, at minimum, like 14 presents. I gotta get moving on this. The kids will be easy, it's all the adults that are a pain. Seriously considering just giving family gifts of baked goods this year.

yianna sorry for the soft marker. dd1 had one (an eif) and it was stressful, but everything turned out alright. it's hard to keep things in perspective and not worry. are they going to do any more scans to give you reassurance? clementine cute dress! where did you find it? sunshinedaisies if it makes you feel any better i am weepy and easily annoyed! h is still waiting for my mood swings to level out - i think they have lol. cp3 good luck at your scan tomorrow let us know how everything goes! calendula how much ranch is that? it's not like a real keg right? maybe a pony keg?

Bonus points for bloat, blump, bump pics:)
Weeks pregnant: 19w3d
Baby is the size of a: gameboy. Cute.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Bleu
Appointments: Had my appt with my high risk Dr. I just love her.
Symptoms: heart palpitations, breathlessness and super human smelling.
Milestones: A/S this week - and I wrote all about it in that very touching thread you guys did for me. The absolute good news today was that the little spine thing they told me about wasn't even in the report so I'm assuming that means that it wasn't even notable enough to the dr to put it in. I'll take it! And baby's hb was strong and beautiful today. I never get tired of that.
Rants/Raves/Vents: See all my bitching in the name thread.
GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? I am 97% done. I need a pair of pajamas for my kiddo for Christmas eve and I need to pick the couple of gift cards I need for work and one for my sister. On Nov 1, I created a budget spreadsheet, I made a list and then gave all my money to Amazon. I feel so accomplished and on top of my shit this year. And I should not have to step foot in a mall. Which is really good for my rage.

yianna, I'm glad the scan was good besides the soft markers. Someone on the main board said something to effect that the science seems ahead of the science sometimes in that spotting red flags seems well developed but actual diagnosis work seems further off. Which in turn leaves us with more questions than answers sometimes and that can be a hard place to live. Just try to keep breathing if/when that worry and stress gets to you.
