Comparable thing? Size of a sweet potato...which vary greatly, I might add
Anything baby related this week? Well, this week baby movement has gone from the occasional "I think I felt something," to multiple times every day. Also, had my 18 week appointment on Friday and heard the heartbeat. Also scheduled the Anatomy Scan for March 3rd. We already know he's a boy from Verifi, but still looking forward to it!
Rants/ Raves/ Questions? Not really, I'm doing pretty great. Also, I forgot how great it feels when you start feeling him everyday. At this point, it's like your own little secret because no one else can feel it! Also, I got a new dvd to add to my workouts and it's so good! Suzanne Bowen's Slim and Toned Prenatal Barre Workout. I highly recommend it!
How was your Valentine's Day? It was good. My son is totally into it, and was so enthusiastic it was adorable.
1 How many weeks? 20 2.Comparable fruit/toy/animal size? Very confused on this one.. TB says baby is the size of a banana (6.5in) but a different app I have says size of a paper airplane (10in from head to toe) Maybe TB is still measuring crown to rump at 20 weeks? 3. Anything baby related this week? OB on Wednesday, and the long-awaited a/s scan FINALLY this Friday! 4. Rants/raves/questions? I finally caved and bought a boppy pregnancy pillow. The back pain isn't as severe anymore, and the hip pain isn't quite so bad, although it still wakes me up sometimes. My stretching and yoga exercises help a bit too. 5. How was your Valentine's Day? DH and I haven't ever celebrated Valentine's, but we spent the day holed up in our apartment watching movies while it snowed outside. It was so nice to finally be able to spend an entire day together since I usually work Saturdays.
1 How many weeks: 20 weeks 2.Comparable fruit/toy/animal size?paper airplane, banana or a mango because those are all the the same... Not 3. Anything baby related this week? Follow up u/s tomorrow for the anatomy scan since she didn't want to cooperate the first time 4. Rants/raves/questions? Why all the varying sizes I am guessing the same differences in measurement from head to toe vs head to rump 5. How was your Valentine's Day? It was nice just very chill.
Rant- still sick! Cough, please go away. I have so much I want to do
Valentine's Day- DH took care of DD while I laid on the couch, took a nap, took a shower, read a bit, drank tea, cleaned my nose and tried to get healthy. Thankful for DH!
1 How many weeks? 20! 2.Comparable fruit/toy/animal size? Banana 3. Anything baby related this week? Off to our anatomy scan RIGHT NOW! 4. Rants/raves/questions? WOAHHHHHHH we're halfway theeere *insert Bon Jovi gif* 5. How was your Valentine's Day? It was good. We don't typically do anything cause our anniversary is the 6th and that's when we usually go out to dinner or something. But we went and registered at Buy Buy Baby and I've decided that our registry is done now. It's causing me too much anxiety to think about it so it's done. I've got the basics and necessities on there, plus a few extras so..
1 How many weeks? 18 2.Comparable fruit/toy/animal size? Sweet potato! 3. Anything baby related this week? Nothing fun related to baby this week - but we leave on Thursday night for Daytona for the races this weekend 4. Rants/raves/questions? Thinking I need to look into some stretches & yoga for the back pain I've been experiencing. I know it's only going to get worse but hoping to find some remedies! Snoogle at night helps but then by late in the day I've either sat or stood too long and I'm in pain. (Daytona should be fun...) 5. How was your Valentine's Day? It was great. Spent the weekend doing different things together and DH bought me some adorable things for our Disney themed nursery
@rakel88 hope all goes well with your scan today!!
@HoneyBear40 I do a couple yoga poses that really have been helping with my back pain.. One, you sit on a pillow or cushion and do the butterfly stretch. Not only does it feel amazing for my back after sitting all day at my job, but it really helps my hip pain too! The other one is seriously amazing.. You lay on your back with a pillow or cushion under your butt, and put your legs up on a wall/closed door. You can be as far away from the wall or door or as close as you want, but it really really helps! Also the child's pose works super well! I tried to find some images but couldn't really find what I was looking for..I did find these on Pinterest though so you may be able to find pics there if my descriptions don't make sense!

1 How many weeks 18 weeks 2.Comparable fruit/toy/animal size? sweet potato or a paper airplane 3. Anything baby related this week? not this week 4. Rants/raves/questions? I started feeling movements two weeks ago, but they are still so sporadic. Rant - I just want this cold to go away, sounds like a lot of us have it 5. How was your Valentine's Day? Good! DH got me flowers, which he hasn't done since our wedding day.
1 How many weeks. 20 2.Comparable fruit/toy/animal size?paper airplane or banana 3. Anything baby related this week? A/s tomorrow!! Can't wait to see baby again love to see that everything is going well. 4. Rants/raves/questions? Feeling very crampy today and a little nervous about it. Not sure if I should worry or not 5. How was your Valentine's Day? Laid low and DH cooked dinner like he does every year so it was very nice!
@sarah2311I have felt crampy most of the pregnancy so far, and no issues or concerns yet. My doctor always told me unless I have significant bleeding with it, not to worry, it was just my uterus growing.
@oandmplus1 thanks!! That makes me feel better. I didn't have any of this with my DS so just was worrying a little. I'm sure being my second pregnancy has to do with it too
