How big is baby? As long as a banana or paper airplane
Appointments this week? 20 week checkup on Wednesday
Symptoms? Still just tons of indigestion and heartburn. I'll be asking for meds at this next appointment. Tums isn't cutting it anymore
Rants/Raves/Questions: I have 4 more days of work before winter holidays! We are going to Amsterdam for 5 days and then I'll be on my way home to see my family in Chicago! I'm so excited.
GTKY: What are you most curious about what this baby will look like? (I.e. Who's hair color or eye color etc will the baby have) My husband I talked about this the other day. He's Arab so pretty dark tan/brown and I'm white. I most wonder whose skin tone the baby will get. Not that it matters at all but half my husbands siblings are whiter than I am so I'm curious which one they'll get.
TTC1: May 2015
Primary IF May 2016; Failed HSG; Scheduled Lap Sept. 2016
Appointments this week? Yes, we've got one on Friday. It seems like I've been waiting forever.
Symptoms? I'm still somewhat tired. Not as bad as first tri, but not the awesome energy I remember from second tri last time, which is a bummer. And the headaches are killing me this time around.
Rants/Raves/Questions:
GTKY: What are you most curious about what this baby will look like? (I.e. Who's hair color or eye color etc will the baby have) I'm curious if he/she will look like DS.
Appointments this week? Anatomy ulttasound....I'm so excited!!!!
Symptoms? Back pain and insomnia
Rants/Raves/Questions: Excited and nervous for the ultrasound. This is what I'm considering the safe point of this pregnancy. Hoping all is well with this nugget and then we will let the world know we're pregnant!
GTKY: What are you most curious about what this baby will look like? Curious to see how similar this one and my daughter will look! And how much it will weigh at birth. My daughter was 9lbs 8 oz!
Rants/Raves/Questions: I hate that I am still bleeding. I am terrified of something going wrong, PGAL hasn't been kind anyway, and the constant bleeding/spotting is nerve wracking.
GTKY: What are you most curious about what this baby will look like? (I.e. Who's hair color or eye color etc will the baby have).
I am curious whos who's eyes he will have, and whose skin tone. H and I both have dark hair but his skin is much darker than mine and I have blue eyes where his are hazel/light brown.
Appointments this week? Nothing until the anatomy scan 1/6/17
Symptoms? Pure exhaustion, headaches, back pain, feeling stressed.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I'm sure being pregnant doesn't help any of this but my life feels so overwhelming right now. My 9-5 job has been a lot lately, plus it's the busy Christmas season for my etsy shop, then my DH decides to do everything possible to unhinge me. I had a panic attack last night. Decided I'm taking a mental health day on Monday to try to center myself and get caught up on my orders. I truly believe if I'm stressed this baby will be too, and it's my job to honestly take care of myself. Sorry for the essay. OH! And I've bought zero Christmas gifts.
GTKY: What are you most curious about what this baby will look like? (I.e. Who's hair color or eye color etc will the baby have) Well I want to know what we're having! I'm interested to see what the baby will look like in general, but I hope he/she has my eyes.
@chailife34 welcome! I just saw your experience on the lurkers thread. Really don't think you'll have the experience of your last bmb here. This board is "boring" by bump standards in that there's pretty much no drama but it's a great group of ladies. I think you'll like it here.

@m3ganmc during the last heavy bleeding 2 weeks ago I had a perfect ultrasound and there was no concern. Now that I've been continuously heavy spotting for 2 weeks I'm calling again on Monday to get their thoughts. I'm trying not to worry to much, but it's easier said than done!!
@RainyDays86 I am looking for the second tri energy too! I remember feeling so much more energized during the second tri in my last pregnancy. I can't seem to beat the fatigue this go around.
@Jen_Shoes I am feeling pretty overwhelmed myself lately too. I work at the Post Office, and normally love my job, but this time of year things/people get crazy and it makes my job way more stressful. Plus, due to it being our busy season, I'm working 6 days a week. A day's respite sounds wonderful. I have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday. Maybe I'll just treat myself that day.
@chailife34 welcome!! There was lots of drama on my last board too (March 2014) so joining this one was a nice change.
Appointments this week? I have one on Tuesday. It was actually supposed to be this last Friday, but pregnancy brain made me completely forget, and I went to work instead. I felt like such an ass for being a no show to my doctor, and then I felt bad for having to tell my boss I can't work Tuesday when I'm already scheduled to. I don't feel that bad though. I've been helping another Post Office out lately, and I was supposed to be working there. They take advantage of me there big time, so I didn't really mind having to miss a day at that office.
Symptoms? Gas and fatigue and headaches.
Rants/Raves/Questions: Our damn septic system went at our house this week. It cost $1000 to repair. It was pretty upsetting since it's right before the holidays. Good bye Christmas. It's been a stressful last few weeks!
GTKY: What are you most curious about what this baby will look like? (I.e. Who's hair color or eye color etc will the baby have) Our other son was born with red hair. It was a shock at first because neither my husband, nor myself have red hair, but my husband has sandy colored hair and lots of red in his beard. And my hair pulls red in the sun. We have lots of red headed family members, so the potential was always there, it just wasn't what we were expecting. I'm mostly curious to see if this one has red hair too, and how much like his brother he looks. I would also love for this one to get my eye color, since our first son's eyes are a carbon copy of his dads.
Sorry for the long posts this week! My son is sleeping in this morning, so I finally have a little free time to think/post!
Appointments this week? hospital follow up, hospitalized for 2 days last week for dehydration
Symptoms? nausea, vomiting, lower back pain, and emotional isn't even the right word for this roller coaster of feelings
Rants/Raves/Questions: As I get closer to my anatomy scan I keep freaking out about whether or not the placenta has moved away from my cervix. I just want to know if a vaginal birth will be even possible, it is weighing heavy on me this month.
GTKY: What are you most curious about what this baby will look like? (I.e. Who's hair color or eye color etc will the baby have) I think it's going to look just like DS even if female. I really just want to know baby's sex so I can start buying stuff.
