Funky fetal Friday 8/14

1. 37w2d

2. Pretty good overall. Just really tired in the afternoons. But I've been walking about a mile every morning this week taking DS1 to school and back.

3. DS1 already started school. So our "summer" is kinda over in that respect. But we've still been swimming in our backyard pool a decent amount in the evenings. Looking forward to our annual pumpkin patch/brewery trip with our friends that have similar aged kids and me being actually able to drink!!!

4. DH is taking the boys OOT this weekend to see his grandma and some other family that lives by the beach. So I have the house to myself this weekend. I've just gotta hold this baby in until Monday, which will also be the longest I'll have ever been pregnant. Wish me luck!

You should find out! It's awesommmmmme.

I think I might! Maybe! Lol. I have a preference so maybe it would be better to know? I can't decide. Obviously lol.

This is the first time I have had a preference. DH asked if I wanted to find out (we were team green the first 2 times) and I said no. If it's not what I want, I'll be disappointed for months before the baby is born. If I wait to find out, I'll just be so relieved that the baby is OUT OF ME that I won't care if it's a girl or boy, lol.

1. 37 weeks

2. Constant bladder pressure is no fun, but good otherwise. I want to do a little more tidying up around the house the next couple weeks, but I feel like we have good handle on things.

3. We've taken some fun trips the past couple months, now it's time to nest. We take a weekend hiking/pumpkin picking trip to the North Georgia mountains each fall. I'm looking forward to that, and other outdoor hikes nce the weather cools off.
 
4. With one week to go until ML, I've reached the lame duck period at work. I've spent the past 30 mins researching some 5k's I'd like to run in October and November.

1. 7 weeks

2. Disgusting, lol. So nauseous. But I'll live. At least I'm not exhausted also.

3. I love fall. I can't wait for cooler weather and sweatpants!

4. Eta - I keep changing my mind about finding out the baby's sex. Gahhhh I can't decide.

I just realized I have been confusing you and simpsongal for months. I was like, I thought she was TTC? Duh, envino. 

FWIW, we were team green last time and found out very early (thanks, AMA) this time. I had team green idealistic expectations of what finding the sex would be like and I was pretty underwhelmed. Advantage is the excitement of not knowing and building anticipation. Disadvantage is not having ability to plan and (for me at least) taking longer to bond with the fetus. Overall, I'm glad I got to experience both sides. No regrets.

1. 32w4d

2. Good, but tired of heat/humidity and swollen ankles.

3. Hopefully a few more weekends at the cabin and trips to the splash pad before it cools off (but I secretly can't wait for fall). Not sure if we will do the apple orchard/pumpkin patch before or after the baby comes...

4. Zantac is the bomb.

So many pains and discomfort at night though.

Ugh! Yes, evenings and nights are the worst. I keep freaking out almost every night about how much pressure and lower belly pain I feel.

[turtlegirl]

ladygrey - yes! Zantac has been a lifesaver this pregnancy!

16 weeks 1 day
Feeling pretty normal which is both nice and scary
Well my vacation starts Sunday so we have that and then I'll think about fall after that.
I hate the in between belly stage, I just look bad

1. How far along are you? 5w6d



2. How are you feeling? Ok. Tired but not exhausted. I constantly yawning though.  I'm moody as hell and I hate how emotional I get while pregnant.  I've had a lot of fun gagging in the AM (like last time) and I've thrown up once already, but none of this really bothers me since it's mild.  Very low appetite.  Incredibly forgetful.



3. What are you doing with the last few weeks of summer? Any reflections on upcoming fall activities potentially with a baby? (BTS, pumpkin patches, etc)  Throwing a bridal shower for my sister.  My first appointment is in two weeks!!!  Feels so far away. Gahhhh I hate the first tri. Maybe we'll go camping.  I cannot wait to take DD to the pumpkin patch; she loved it last year! 



4. Pregnancy vents/randoms. I talk to the baby, even though it cannot hear me yet and is technically still an embryo and not even a fetus.  I did the same with DD.  It's my effort to connect with baby, until my bump shows itself.  Also, my sister wants to come over for wine tomorrow since our men-folk are out of town, and I'm trying to see how I can get out of it because we've not told ppl we're pregnant.  I'd love to hang.  But everyone knows I'm a wino soooooo….

1. 23 weeks tomorrow

2. Good! I'm enjoying not feeling huge yet.

3. Staying cool and waiting anxiously for fall. I hate hot weather. Ds starts preschool next week and having two mornings a week to myself is going to be a lifesaver.

4. This baby is super active. He wakes me up at like 5:30 am kicking and flipping around. Hope that's not a preview of what's to come :/
