Upcoming appointments this week? Tomorrow! DH is coming with DD and I for the first time to the midwife office, and after we'll go over to tour the birth center ((unless they are crazy busy))! Also glucose test day... FX for no issues!
Any new symptoms or changes? Feeling huge this week. It's like Tri three hit and I exploded. Im sure the beginning of holiday food isn't helping the bloat.
Baby movements are starting to feel CRAZY. Occasionally reaching the point of painful. This week I'm starting to feel actual joints (maybe just feet) poking out. My DD wasn't like this till the very very end, so this might get interesting!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Last night my MIL, staring at my gut with judgy eyes, said... "are you sure you're not having that kid in January? You really trust your doctor and those dates?" Seriously lady? Not cool. I get that I have a larger baby bump, but you really should know better.

This has been one of the worst months of my entire life, and I have been struggling to regain footing. So I am incredibly thankful for the amazing support team I have. My family, my friends, my douchebag ex's family, and his friends.... they've all been incredibly supportive and I am starting to feel better. Onto bigger and brighter days, with less weight.
How far along are you ? 23 weeks (on Saturday)

@sunshine507 I hear ya on crossing the legs. I have to be reclined in a chair to cross mine. Hope you found some cyber Monday deals!
@longliveregina I hear you on people doing things for you. I'm finally starting to give in. It's so nice
@runboorun that's so exciting about DHs job!! That must be a huge weight off your shoulders. And awesome he felt the kicks too

How big is baby? Cauliflower (mon petit chou!)
Upcoming appointments this week? Yes on Wednesday
Any new symptoms or changes? Just feeling lots of kicks more regularly, having more trouble bending over and such.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I wasn't really watching my weight but then my mom kept bugging me to check again and I guess I'm on outside of the normal weight gain curve ugh. I don't feel like I've gained 20 pounds but I've tried on 3 different scales so I guess we'll see how it goes at my appointment this week.

You guys! I've been neglecting TB all week and I've been sick as a dog. Now it's Wednesday and I'm finally filling this out.
How far along are you ? 26 weeks, 4 days
How big is baby? Head of lettuce, phone app says a bunch of kale, whatever that means. He's roughly 2lbs.
Upcoming appointments this week? I was supposed to have my GTT last Saturday but was crazy sick and slept in and forgot all about it. I rescheduled it for this Saturday and I'm NOT looking forward to it.
Any new symptoms or changes? I've noticed a little bit of swelling at the end of the day, mainly in my hands.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Oh. Em. Gee. My daughter's pediatrician just got arrested for having child porn! I haven't been able to concentrate all afternoon. And he has 3 or 4 kids of his own, and I feel so bad for them. When DD was in for her well check in August I let him know I was pregnant by saying he would have a new patient sometime in March. Now I'm 26 weeks pregnant and I thought that was an easy thing to cross of the list but looks like I'll be shopping for a new pedi, like STAT.
GTKY: Since we're getting to the end of the month, What's at least 1 awesome or positive thing that happened to you this month? I had a birthday, so there's that.
@Bradleerick WE ARE!
@ShaunaT25 sending you positive vibes & praying everything will work out for the best for you & your little one!!
@Phil413 happy birthday!!!!! Hope you're feeling better! We must be in the same area, it was all over our local news - that's so crazy he was your daughter's pediatrician ughh people can be so sickening. I'm looking at one affiliated with CHOP I haven't actually called them yet but will probably confirm it today since it's on my mind. Hopefully you find a good new one! PSU grad over here too, so happy we had such a great season!!
@serenity13 Not a PSU grad but I root for them and many of my friends are. I graduated from Gwynedd-Mercy.
I called some local pediatricians and they aren't taking referrals due to the situation but taking names and will call. So I'm not sure what to do at this point but I guess a lot can happen in 3 months
