How far along are you? 25 weeks

How big is baby? A cauliflower, or a bag of microwave popcorn!

Appointments this week? Not until 28 weeks - 1/20

Symptoms? Definitely starting to feel some mild discomfort in hips/pelvis that I hear comes with later stages of pregnancy.  I need assistance to get up off the floor or couch.  Round ligament pain and a bit of acid reflux.  All worth it to feel those sweet kicks though!

Rant/Rave/Questions? none at the moment

GTKY: Do you have any plans or traditions for New Year's Eve? Well, this year we'll be at a bowl game, then a post-bowl banquet that evening.  Who knows, may fall asleep before midnight this year - we'll see!

How far along are you? 24 weeks. Viability!!

How big is baby? A cantaloupe, or a package of Oreos.

Appointments this week? Glucose test tomorrow morning; boo.

Symptoms? Insomnia, lots of sciatic pain, and just general blah-ness.

Rant/Rave/Questions? My wine cravings continue...Christmas will have to require ginger ale in a wine glass so I can feel fancy.

GTKY: Do you have any plans or traditions for New Year's Eve? Not really. Usually someone in DH's family has a little get together, but we honestly usually just stay home and watch HGTV. Sometimes I make it to midnight. Not too optimistic that I will this year, though.

Appointments this week? 

@snarkasaurusrex - I have my glucose screen tomorrow morning, too, then regular appt with OB and chiropractor appointment on Friday. 

Symptoms?

Had some painful contractions over the weekend after sexy time. The on-call nurse said it was totally normal, and as long as I didn't have any bleeding or discharge, that I would be fine. She suggested taking Tylenol before doing it next time. I'm also getting to the point where I have no filter on what I say. That's always fun. 

Rant/Rave/Questions? 

I do have a question for y'all that I plan on asking my OB at my appointment tomorrow. Have any of you dealt with the Rh compatibility factor before? I'm O- and DS is O+, so I had to have the rhogham shot with my previous pregnancy. I don't remember getting another shot after delivery, though. From what I've read, the first pregnancy isn't as much of an issue as the second. I asked my OB about it early in the pregnancy, and he didn't seem very concerned. DS was very jaundiced, so I feel like that may have been connected with the Rh compatibility issue. Just wondering if anyone else has experience with this in their subsequent pregnancies. 

GTKY: Do you have any plans or traditions for New Year's Eve?
We usually hang out at my Dad's house. I'm not a fan of New Year's, and as I get older, become less and less thrilled about it. Maybe it will work out to where I can stay home and relax??

How far along are you?

How big is baby? 

cauliflower... yum!

Appointments this week? 

Nope. I don't have an appointment until the new year.

Symptoms?

Overall I'm feeling really good. Lots of movement and kicks. Some SI joint pain, but I see a pelvic floor physio and the exercises have been helping. 

Rant/Rave/Questions? 

I'm very excited for the holidays. I can't wait to see family. I hosted my friends last weekend and it was just so nice to see everyone. 

GTKY: Do you have any plans or traditions for New Year's Eve?
I don't have any. I'm not a big new year celebrator and am perfectly happy staying at home and watching a movie. This year we were invited to DH's friend's house, so that should be nice and low key.

@schef070911 Thanks!! 30 minutes to go...I went for the fruit punch this time and I actually liked it better than the orange. I borderline failed my one hour last time, so fingers crossed I pass!!

Appointments this week? Nope, next one is glucose test on 1-9

Symptoms? Sciatic pain...boo. Also just lots of aches in general. OB called in a maternity belt for me to use, just need to go pick it up asap. It's at a place 30ish minutes away tho.

Rant/Rave/Questions? Rave: Last night I was reading DS his bedtime stories and he was laying with his hand/arm across my belly. Baby sister started squirming around and he popped up, stares at my stomach and starts smiling. It was the first time he had ever felt her! He then proceeds to start poking my stomach and saying "she wants out!" Told him not quite yet, she's just wiggling. So after that he just pokes my stomach and goes "come on baby sis, you can do it, move!" It was ADORABLE!

GTKY: Do you have any plans or traditions for New Year's Eve? Haha, hopefully to be in bed at 10pm! Before DS was born we went and hung out with people but I honestly always would have rather of been home so I am SO glad to have the "excuse" to not go do anything and just stay in with my little family.
