How far along are you/what fruit/size is LO? 20 weeks! I can't believe it - halfway there! Baby is the size of a banana today.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves: I posted this on the February symptoms thread yesterday, but I have been having back spasms in my right shoulder blade/right boob, and they've been super painful. Luckily they seem to have subsided, so I'm hoping maybe I was just light on water those days and can prevent them by staying hydrated.
Anything baby-related today? This past weekend we cleaned out the nursery (was previously our catch-all room), and DH put up the crib. Nothing today, but A/S is tomorrow!!! Can't wait to see this LO for longer than a couple minutes.
GTKY: If money was not an issue, what one item would you spend a ridiculous amount of money on for LO? Double strollers seem to be pretty crazy expensive, so let's go with that.
How far along are you/what fruit/size is LO? 20 weeks!!! Banana
Symptoms/Rants/Raves: Definitely takes me longer to get up off the floor. Bigger movements take more effort.
My rave is sort of baby related -- I LOVE Starbucks mobile ordering! Just walking in ahead of any line and grabbing my drink is amazing. Also, as I get larger and more visibly pregnant, I like the idea of spending less time around possibly judgy faces -- not that I give any shits who questions my coffee drinking, but at the same time I'd rather not see your stupid judgy face at all if I can avoid it.
Anything baby-related today? I have an OB appt today, I'm guessing we'll just listen to the HB and quickly go over the anatomy scan results from last week.
GTKY: If money was not an issue, what one item would you spend a ridiculous amount of money on for LO? This might be cheating, but I'd say room decor for both of my LOs!
How far along are you/what fruit/size is LO? 21 weeks! Not a fruit but baby is the size of a weasel
Symptoms/Rants/Raves: I had the stomach flu over the weekend, which was terrible. Other then that feeling pretty good.
Anything baby-related today? Just got back from a doctors appointment, everything with my 20 week ultrasound looked perfect!
GTKY: If money was not an issue, what one item would you spend a ridiculous amount of money on for LO? Idk, I've pretty much gotten everything I've wanted for this LO so far. I know, no fun lol
How far along are you/what fruit/size is LO? Baby Bok Choy Cabbage or a Baseball hat
Symptoms/Rants/Raves: Sciatic pain is horrible every time I work. I can't take a step without pain! Otherwise feeling pretty good on the baby front. Worried my cold is turning into a chest cold- my chest HURTS and I keep coughing which gives me RLP.
Anything baby-related today? Nope! Follow up anatomy scan for more pictures on March 10, and OB March 11. Nothing until then.
GTKY: If money was not an issue, what one item would you spend a ridiculous amount of money on for LO? Stokke furniture and Aden and anais everything!
How far along are you/what fruit/size is LO? 21 weeks. Carrot/pomegranate/weasel
Symptoms/Rants/Raves: Not much. A little RLP and heartburn. Starting to feel actually pregnant now that my belly has finally popped and I'm feeling a bit short of breath, etc. But overall I can't complain.
Anything baby-related today? No, midwife appointment next week
GTKY: If money was not an issue, what one item would you spend a ridiculous amount of money on for LO? A house! We're moving DS into the guest room and losing that space which is frequently used. Plus I am so over having a 4 level split with kids. Stairs everywhere, so many opportunities for injuries especially since my 2 year old can open literally any gate.
@jlmartinez517What are you doing for your reveal? We want to do one since this is our second and we won't be having any showers but still want an excuse to get the family together and eat some cake. I think we're going to give the envelope to my mom to coordinate, but other than that I'm not sure if we want to do the pink/blue cake batter or a balloon with confetti... or if we're just going to invite immediate family or ask aunts/uncles/friends to come too!
How far along are you/what fruit/size is LO? 20 weeks! Banana or Belgian endive
Symptoms/Rants/Raves: heartburn (more annoying than concerning), flutters!, swollen legs after work.
Anything baby-related today? We heard back from the doctor about our anatomy scan. It was completely normal with no concerns. I could not feel more blessed. I've also been feeling more movement his week but still nothing from the outside.
GTKY: If money was not an issue, what one item would you spend a ridiculous amount of money on for LO? The gift of my time by not going back to work. Especially after the day I had today!
How far along are you? 21 weeks and the size of a pomagranite or carrot.
Symptoms/rants/raves: just cramping and nausea. Nexium and miralax have saved my life. Also random, but I feel my bump has gotten smaller the past couple days, but I'm assuming it's just bloat
Anything baby related this week: no appointments or anything. We need to get stuff to trade in at babies r us and possibly get our car seat/stroller set and pack and play.
GTKY: I read some celebrity saying that everyone needs a night nurse, and they are the best thing ever! Since. 99.9% probably can't afford that, and in all honesty it seems unnecessary, maybe do that if money is no object.
@soberkfell we are going to tell the grandparents separately with a cupcake with the color frosting/decoration from a local bakery after our appointment. For our friends, we're having them over for lunch, pink/blue snacks and drinks and then doing a pull string pinãta with the color confetti inside. So, we will know before our friends but that's ok! I love the balloon idea! I'm sure Party City will fill a black balloon for you if you bring the envelope to them! Have fun!!
Symptoms/rants/raves: I'm feeling pretty good, just some general aches and pains. I can feel him moving around quite a bit now. Orange juice is either his favourite or he hates it because he transforms into the karate kid in there after a glass
Anything baby related: Nothing today. Yesterday I did have a prenatal massage, it was magical and the cause of achy hip was discovered (a knot the size of Texas just beside it). Can't wait to go back
GTKY: Probably buy a house in my neighbourhood or stay home till the little fella starts pre-school
Re: Tuesday Ticker Change
Symptoms/Rants/Raves: Heart burn, shortness of breath
Anything baby-related today? none!
GTKY: If money was not an issue, what one item would you spend a ridiculous amount of money on for LO?
Probably a house (for all of us) so that we have more bedrooms. I know I am cheating but I really don't want to give up my craft room =(
