How many weeks?  Fruit/veg [if you know]?

How are you feeling?

Any upcoming appointments/milestones/pregnancy updates to share?

Thoughts/vents?

QOTW: Will your baby have siblings when he/she is born?  If you are a FTM, are you hoping to have more children in the future or is only child the way to go for you?  Do you have an ideal number of kiddos you'd like to have?  Feel free to elaborate.

How many weeks?  Fruit/veg [if you know]? 27 - rutabaga!

How are you feeling? Pretty good.  We did a lot of house cleaning yesterday and my lower back was definitely sore by the end of the day.  But I just got back from yoga so I am all stretched out and feeling relaxed.

Any upcoming appointments/milestones/pregnancy updates to share?  Well, I passed my GD test last week, woo hoo!  Negative for anemia as well.  And we had our first ultrasound since 17-18w, which was fun since he is sooo much bigger and more advanced now.  Baby is about 2 lbs, 45% percentile, head down, and looking great.

Thoughts/vents? I've been a little anxious as he seemed less active yesterday, but today he's squirmier and that makes me feel a lot better!

QOTW: Will your baby have siblings when he/she is born?  If you are a FTM, are you hoping to have more children in the future or is only child the way to go for you?  Do you have an ideal number of kiddos you'd like to have?  Feel free to elaborate.  I am a FTM.  I went into TTC planning to have 2 children, but almost 3 years later, with 9 IUIs, IVF and 2 miscarriages under my belt, a second round of TTC isn't looking super appealing.  We do have 2 embryos in the freezer, so it would be easy enough to put one in and see what happens.  But since I've already run through 4 embryos to get (hopefully) 1 child (2 were miscarriages and 1 didn't survive thaw), I don't have high hopes that there's necessarily another take-home baby left in the last 2.  I do not want to go through another IVF cycle.  We also live in a very high COL area with very expensive daycare (average $17k a year for an infant), so I can't help thinking how much more I can give my son if he doesn't have a sibling.  We really can't afford a second until he's in preschool, but I'll be 39 by then...so it's iffy.  Anyway, we're keeping it open but I wouldn't be surprised if this is it for us.

QOTW: Will your baby have siblings when he/she is born?  If you are a FTM, are you hoping to have more children in the future or is only child the way to go for you?  Do you have an ideal number of kiddos you'd like to have?  I hope LO will have siblings!  I would like to have 2-3 children total...but who knows, I may change my mind!

How many weeks?  Fruit/veg [if you know]? 24 weeks. Cantaloupe! What?

How are you feeling? I'm in a lot of pain generally, mostly my back, but it's ok.

Any upcoming appointments/milestones/pregnancy updates to share? Nothing really this week.  My belly button is half-way out....so that's fun.

Thoughts/vents? I kind of feel like I've been over-commiting myself lately.  I really need a day off to do absolutely nothing, but I don't know when that will be.

No siblings, but I'd like to have at least 1 more kid after this one.  First things first though.

How many weeks?  Fruit/veg [if you know]? 35 weeks/coconut

How are you feeling? Tired this week.  My GI issues came back with a vengeance last night, resulting in a long night of puking.  I got back to work tomorrow for 3 weeks and then I am off until August.  I had some bad PGAL brain yesterday when LO decided to have a lazy day.  Today, he has been playing soccer!

Any upcoming appointments/milestones/pregnancy updates to share? I go back in tomorrow, so nothing too exciting to report here.

Thoughts/vents? I would like to not throw up any more.  I am so tired of waking up in the middle of the night to puke.   DH and I also had a yucky fight this week.  I was feeling like he was trying to relive his college days by going out with the boys too often.  After having a lot of time off this week and spending it away from me, I was really angry with him and we had a long fight about the house, chores, etc.  The bottom line for me was that I felt he hadn't thought about how life would change once the baby gets here and that my life has changed significantly since getting pregnant.  He finally admitted that he hadn't really given much thought to how much my life has changed so far and he hasn't and I feel like things are a little better now.

I am a FTM, but I can't imagine this being it for me and DH.  We would like to have another baby in about 3-4 years.  We definitely want 2, maybe 3. depending on what we can afford.  I would really like to have a girl at some point since we are getting a sweet boy in 5 weeks.

@nyg2042, I can't believe you are 17 weeks already!

@kountingsheep, so glad your A/S went well!  Tell that baby girl to step away from the bladder...

@Robinischo, I feel the same about over-committing myself.  I'll make plans for the weekend that seem totally reasonable by a non-pregnant-woman's standards and then end up feeling exhausted.

@hcorcoran, ugh, I am sorry about the GI issues!  Sounds terrible.  I am very familiar with the lazy-baby PGAL brain.  Mine had a very quiet weekend, but he picked it up enough today to make me feel better.

Have a great week everyone!

Just over 4 weeks, I'm not an actual fruit yet. I barely feel pregnant, although my boobs hurt more than PMS pain... I have an appointment on Friday that I'm excited for. I hope they order bloodwork for me. No vents at this point. I just want it all to work out! This baby will have an older brother... There will be about a 3 year age difference.
