Rants/Raves/Questions?

GTKY: Have you shopped for your LO anything yet?  What did you buy? Are you eyeing anything you really want to get but want to wait? We have only bought a few onesies so far, but I already have a whole registry filled up and am having trouble restraining myself!  I think we are going to try and do some Black Friday/ Cyber Monday shopping for LO which I am super excited about!

How big is baby? The Baby is the size of a Coconut or an Ear of Corn

Upcoming appointments within the next 7 days? Prenatal Massage on Sunday.

Any new symptoms or changes? Monday night I was suffering from what felt like Braxton Hicks contractions, I could not sleep at all. I call the Dr in the AM, turns out I had not had a BM in a few days and I was constipated (TMI sorry). I've had to increase my fiber intake. OMG What a relief when I did finally go!!! (Woosah!)

Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave: We had our Gender Reveal Sunday Morning, after church during breakfast. Many of our family members were not able to be there so we went Live on FB. What an amazing time we had. My mother was most excited about finally expecting a Granddaughter (since she has 5 Grandsons) she was so hilarious on the video, everyone loved it.

GTKY: Have you shopped for your LO anything yet?  What did you buy? Are you eyeing anything you really want to get but want to wait?  I went to mall and purchased a few dresses (I have never bought a dress from the Gap, LOL) that was so fun. I really want to buy this amazing stroller I've seen on Amazon, but I would love to see it in person first before I purchase it.

@sienaC Yes and even after we found out "it" is a She it still feels so weird to call her a "Her"... LOL.

BTW  You probably did feel a kick. How amazing right?

How big is baby? Size of a barbie doll

Upcoming appointments within the next 7 days? none for me. Still feeling kicks daily and my husband felt them on Monday night!

Any new symptoms or changes? Heartburn still aggressive but zantac controlling it. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? Where to start? What do you guys do to prepare other than the nursery? I am kinda at a stand still. The nursery will be painted soon, then I can organize it - but until then I am just coasting along. 

GTKY: Have you shopped for your LO anything yet?  What did you buy? Are you eyeing anything you really want to get but want to wait? I have shopped some sales - Gap has some really cute stuff - same with Old Navy. Just getting some clothes for fancier occasions that are deeply discounted! I am finished with my registry for the most part and am having a hard time resisting any purchases that are on there - my shower is Jan 21 so just need to be patient!

How far along are you? 22 weeks.  Getting there

How big is baby?  Baby weighed 1 lb last week at our AS.  Baby is as big as a Pip-Boy, Bag of half dozen bagels, standard hatchet head, spaghetti squash, coconut, water bottle, corn on the cob, guinea pig, papaya

Upcoming appointments within the next 7 days? Prenatal massage tonight, and regular OB appt next Thursday

Any new symptoms or changes? Not really.  I feel like every day my belly gets a little bigger, but that could just be food!  ha ha  Pretty sure I am snoring at night now.  Also - Concentration is just down the tubes every damn day.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Can't wait to find out the gender on Saturday   We'll update our registry after we find out the gender for the gender specific stuff we want.  

GTKY: Have you shopped for your LO anything yet?  What did you buy? Are you eyeing anything you really want to get but want to wait? I bought a 31 bag before I was even pregnant to use as a diaper bag eventually, and a box of diapers that were on sale.  Haven't really bought anything else myself...but my sister and SIL both are giving us a lot of stuff.  I'm ready to get the crib, glider, and dresser so that I can get the nursery together.

How big is baby? Baby is the size of a Guiney pig

Upcoming appointments within the next 7 days? No upcoming appointments

Any new symptoms or changes? My little mister is moving around like crazy! You can't see him kick and move from the outside yet, but man is it amazing for me to feel!

Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant - why can't I just work from home...LOL

GTKY: Have you shopped for your LO anything yet?  What did you buy? Are you eyeing anything you really want to get but want to wait? I have picked up a few onsies and a blanket so far. The husband doesn't want me going crazy buying stuff just yet. It is very hard to resist though!

@morelove4 what stroller have you been looking at on Amazon?

MoreLove4

@jadkins17 Its the Hot Mama 3 n 1 travel system with the bassinet. i love this stroller. I would love to test it before I buy it though

How big is baby? Endives. According to the MFM they are 13oz and 14oz right now.

Upcoming appointments within the next 7 days? Nope, my appointment was Monday for my anatomy scan.

Any new symptoms or changes? Baby B kicks hard enough that I can SEE and feel them from the outside. I was in a 2 hr long meeting/presentation today and I looked down to see my belly moving. Crazy.

I've been moved to an every 2 week appointment schedule for cervix checks and growth scans every 4 weeks, but everything looks good. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? So, I've been having lots of drama with work. HR was super sketchy about letting me work from home (but ultimately relented), I've had a bunch of responsibilities dumped on me, I put in my 2 week notice and they begged me to stay (but didn't offer anything to make me stay... I stayed for the insurance). Today, I was given an award for going above and beyond everyday at work. My job is confusing.

Rave: Prenatal water aerobics. I have a class once a week on Saturdays and it is AWESOME! It was so nice to just be weightless in the water and I feel like I got a pretty decent arm workout.

GTKY: Have you shopped for your LO anything yet?  What did you buy? Are you eyeing anything you really want to get but want to wait? I just found out the sexes (2 boys!) and just really started shopping for them. I grabbed two highchair/booster seats that attach to regular chairs for $14 each at ALDI of all places! I got a twin frame stroller at a mom of multiples resale, I got a bunch of Halo sleep sacks, and I just lost my dang mind at the Carter's store yesterday. They had a 50% off sale + 25% additional. I'm buying my cribs this weekend and a bookcase. We are modifying that cribs to make them accessible from a wheelchair b/c my husband is disabled. I've been researching cribs/crib modification projects since before we got pregnant, so this decision has been weighing heavy on me. 

I am eyeing the Bumbleride Indie Twin stroller with carrycots (bassinets). I have been obsessively checking out strollers, and this one really seems like the best choice for my family. I plan on using the carrycots as the babies beds for the first couple of months. I'm waiting because the new model just came out and its not available in baby stores. The old model isn't available either... I might have to buy online. I was REALLY hoping to get on my registry, and I'm hoping that my mom buys it.

@direwolfmini sorry things have been crazy at your work

jadkins17

Just looked it up, I love that! But I'm with you, I would want to put my hands on it first.

MoreLove4

WOW @direwolfmini you are having a busy week!!! Sorry things have been crazy for you at work. The small reward probably doesn't equate to any of the other negatives going on at work, but hopefully it will work out. I am in stroller stalker mode, I love the stroller with the Bassinet attached idea,I really want to get a convertible car seat in my car, I struggled terribly with those infant carrier seats with my older sons, the bassinet attachments seems like such a great concept.  I also went into Carters yesterday with all intentions of buying onsies, but lost my mind with all things PINK!!!!

direwolfmini

@disneybaby84 Thanks! Things are looking up, though so that's what matters. Trying to stay positive.

@MoreLove4 I can't even imagine how exciting it would be to pick out girl stuff after 3 boys! Carters little girl clothes are so so so so cute. I would love to start with a convertible car seat, but it really isn't the best option for twins because they're almost always tinier than singletons (not that I'm HOPING to have little babies, but I would rather be prepared).

Also, I have the frame stroller, and it will probably be easier to me to transport two babies and a husband in a wheelchair if they're in self contained removable infant carriers. At least i hope?

Since posting last night I picked up 2 rock n plays from a mom swap page for $25 (total, not each!!). I'm getting a little bit addicted to finding good stuff second hand.
