Weeks/Fruit:
26 weeks! Head of lettuce!

How are you feeling?

I've been feeling good just heavy and it's getting harder to do simple things like bend over or get out of bed in the morning. I can't imagine what that will be like by 40 weeks.

Any recent or upcoming appointments or milestones?

I had my monthly check up last week which went well. I do need to keep my weight gain in check by eating healthier. Tomorrow is my glucose test. Fingers crossed it goes well.

Thoughts/vents:

Two strangers asked about my pregnancy this weekend which was strange. I don't feel like I look so visibly pregnant but I guess I do now and that is weird to me. It makes me feel very vulnerable.

QOTW: If you had advice for your younger self what would it be?

As a kid I was constantly trying to rush time in order for the next thing to happen. I would tell myself to slow down and just enjoy the moment more. Life is far too short.

@3purpleroses‌ Congrats on being half baked!! Sorry to hear about the cramping. I experienced that too and it turned out to be round ligament pain or gas. I keep telling myself that I am growing a baby boy and I am bound to feel some discomfort some of the time. If you are concerned of course give your doctor a call but it could very well just be stretching or gas.

Weeks/Fruit: 33 weeks - a durian!

How are you feeling? Killer heartburn had me up vomiting most of the night.

Any recent or upcoming appointments or milestones? Appt with my OB tomorrow.

Thoughts/vents: Thank goodness for my H - he went out and got me a milkshake this morning to help calm down the burning sensation from my heartburn.

QOTW: If you had advice for your younger self what would it be? Try not to worry so much...but then again, I need that advice now too!

Weeks/Fruit: 15 weeks - navel orange

How are you feeling? still struggling with morning sickness and exhaustion. Headaches are still regular.

Any recent or upcoming appointments or milestones? Had a check up last week where I heard the heartbeat. I go back in 3 weeks for a check up and the week after that we have our anatomy scan. So excited!

Thoughts/vents: today is me EDD for my twins, and it's also my oldest son's 8th birthday.

QOTW: If you had advice for your younger self what would it be? I think I would tell myself to reconsider my priorities. I think I focused too much on things that didn't really matter in the long run and not enough time on the really important things.
