LGW2015

How many weeks? 26 weeks!! T-minus 98 days!

What size is baby? butternut squash, bowling pin. Although this kid was weighing 1 3/4 lbs 2 weeks ago so he's probably significantly bigger than they're saying ha

Upcoming appointments? Dr appt and another U/S in 2 weeks. Going for my glucose test tomorrow!

Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: fighting a cold which really sucks. Rave: Really excited for the long weekend and my parents coming to visit!

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? BH every day, it was constant this weekend. Acid reflux, and some mild calf cramping during the night. Other than that, I'm doing really well. So glad my back is holding up way better than expected (I have a slipped disk/sciatica). 

GTKY: What is one hobby you love? Photography, knitting and baking

CanaryFace

What size is baby? sweet potato/cantaloupe/ear of corn

Upcoming appointments? regular checkup this week and glucose test next week

Rants/Raves/Questions? I would love to rant about my dog. On Saturday, he was crazy and threw a fit every time we left the house. We're renovating our kitchen, so we have no stove or fridge and have been eating out a lot as a result. Went out for breakfast, and my dog had scratched and chewed the french doors we put in 3 months ago! He did a fair amount of damage, splintered wood everywhere. My husband thinks he can repair it, but I still cried. Then we went out for dinner and left the dog in the house. When we got home he was in the back yard...apparently he managed to weasel his way through the air vent between the dining room and sun room (to door was closed so he couldn't get in there) and chew is way through the window screen. He must have jumped out the window. What we can't figure out is out he got into the fenced in back yard when he went through a front window...so the search is on for the hole in the fence. Sunday we decided that one of us would just go pick up food so he wasn't alone, but of course then he was an angel and slept all day...

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? New last week was some mild swelling in my hands and feet. It only seems to be a problem on really hot days though. And I've been craving watermelon!

GTKY: What is one hobby you love? I love gardening, especially vegetables.

SpaceBurger

How many weeks? 25!!

What size is baby? Cauliflower/popcorn bag

Upcoming appointments? Glucose testing next week I think blerg

Rants/Raves/Questions? Hip pain that can't be helped at all some days

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Trying to get back into a normal food/amount eating routine rather than hopping from one craving to the next. I gained a lot between the last appointment.

GTKY: What is one hobby you love? Snowboarding! I can't wait to teach my little lady to shred the slopes, but I'll have her skiing first

Kc0825

How many weeks? 23 weeks I feel a little behind everyone lol

What size is baby? Grapefruit but measuring a little on thethe smaller size

Upcoming appointments? We have a regular check up on the 13th with my doctor and another appointment with the fetal specialist on the 25 for another ultrasound to continue to check the kidneys 

Rants/Raves/Questions? Kinda getting tired of all the doctor's appointments. I have one week out of the month where no one has an appointment if I'm lucky. It's either my regular doctor drawing blood and going over the results for my thyroid, or my baby appointment with my obgyn, or now we see a fetal specialist to check the babies kidneys, or my husband going to see his counselor, 

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Hip pain while I sleep, tired, back pain, attitude, leg cramps still. Warheads and banana peppers and French fries with a ton of vinegar! 

GTKY: What is one hobby you love? Knitting. I'm currently making a blanket for the baby and I just finished one for my son. Netflix when I have time and crafting things from Pinterest! 

allison_smith_6212

How many weeks? 26 Weeks 1 day, hard to believe only 14 weeks to go! 

What size is baby? The size of a head of lettuce or a (hard to believe comparison) bowling pin 

Upcoming appointments? 26 Week appointment on Friday the 1st, and Glucose test on the 12th for the 28 week appointment. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? Well, I think I got my wish of having the baby bump show up more before maternity photos in a couple weeks.  I feel HUGE, I didn't show at all until 26 weeks with my first, but as my husband said last night - you've really gotten the "bump" this month. 

We've also made slim to no progress on picking a name for this little guy - I think our main list is now down to 30 names (on the plus side, it's down from 60+ names). 

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? This week's symptoms have included ligament pain on my sides, leg and foot cramps in the middle of the night, and back pain is starting. No real cravings or aversions lately, but my appetite has kicked in this past week or week and a half.   

GTKY: What is one hobby you love? Photography. I can't wait to have another little guy to take a bunch of photos of.
