How far along? 19 weeks. A little sad it's not 20 so I could have have the pregnancy in 2016 and the other half in 2017, but close enough.
How big is baby? A mango. Sometimes I think they just think of random fruit
Any appointments this week? YES! The great A/S is this week! Hopefully we are able to stay team green
Symptoms? I don't think I've popped yet, just gotten to the fat stage. What a crappy stage! I also think I'm starting to get heartburn after meals again, which makes me a little nervous about how strong it is since it has become more powerful than my medication now. I'm a little sad I haven't felt movement, at least I don't think so anyways. It feels more like gas to me even though I don't feel it as often as I use to. But I have to keep reminding myself the doctor said about 20 weeks.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I didn't realize how much it stinks to hang out with people that want to drink. When it's in the planning stages, I have no problem being DD, but as soon as everyone start chugging, I get extremely irritated. Maybe it's because I really want just one beer!
GTKY: Do you have a new year's resolution or any goals for the new year (stolen from Saturday change)? I need to start eating healthy again and working out. I want to do more 5k's this year, so hopefully I can convince H of that. I don't run them though, I only walk the 5k's.
Symptoms? The unforgiving Leg cramps at night have started and I forgot how much they suck!!! Joint pain mainly in my knee's, emotional as hell this week, extremely sore boobs like seriously I hate my husband anytime he touches them
Rants/Raves/Questions? Ehh got nothing
GTKY: Do you have a new year's resolution or any goals for the new year (stolen from Saturday change)? Get back in the gym ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@absbubbs agreeee the worst stage is the end when your so done and they keep lagging to end the night , heading to a Rams game right now as the DD and I have already warned hubby that when the games over we are all leaving... nooo more!
Any appointments this week? I am impatiently waiting for the 10th for my anatomy scan
Symptoms? General tiredness and an occasional bought of nausea that started happening around Christmas Eve
Rants/Raves/Questions? Just super happy to be feeling big baby kicks, it's always my favorite part of being pregnant
GTKY: Honestly, I think resolutions are a bit silly, but I do want to stop apologizing all of the time. It drives my husband nuts and I think it's time to move on from my childhood hangups. I don't necessarily see it as a resolution, but rather just something I realized needs to change in my life.
Any appointments this week? I finally have my anatomy scan on Thursday! I was in vacation earlier and then my obgyn was so I couldn't do it earlier and I'm so excited!
Symptoms? I feel kicks fairly consistently now. wish my husband also could but not yet.
Rants/Raves/Questions? We're trying to buy a house and it's been a pain so far. There's just NOTHING out the that we want for the last five months. We may make an offer on a slightly more remote new construction and I hope it goes well.
GTKY: Do you have a new year's resolution or any goals for the new year (stolen from Saturday change)? Continuing on the rant above: I absolutely need to stop procrastinating and get my driving license. If we get that house there's literally zero public transit there, the closest park and ride is twenty minutes away by car. So need to do that.
Symptoms? Tired...feeling some flutters more and more, but not consistent. Baby likes to sit low so I constantly feel pressure and have to pee! Ugh
Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing really...anxiously waiting to find out about our offer!
GTKY: Do you have a new year's resolution or any goals for the new year (stolen from Saturday change)? Budget better, we always try say we are going to do and/or try something new, really start exercising and doing the stretches for my back...not necessarily resolutions but goals and stuff I just need to do.

Any appointments this week? Yes - normal check up on Thursday.
Symptoms? Prego belly, baby kicks, and backache.
Rants/Raves/Questions? So this whole not supposed to lay flat on your back thing. How serious is this? Like if I'm on my back for 5 minutes is that detrimental to baby? When I go to bed I'm fully on my side but almost always I wake go on my back with no clue how long I've been in that position. Also when my back hurts sometimes the only thing that helps it feel better is laying in my back for a few minutes. I've googled the heck out of this and understand the concern is blood flow to baby and body, etc. but I've never had the dizziness that can happen. Any wisdom would be appreciated.
GTKY: Do you have a new year's resolution or any goals for the new year (stolen from Saturday change)? My cousin, who is a professional organizer, was telling me that instead of resolutions, she selects a word to represent what she wants for the year. Then the choices she makes revolve around that word. I loved this idea, so my word for 2017 is: balance. This word encompasses all areas of life where I have goals: family, health, work, time management, etc.
I'm a little late to the party, but here it is! How far along? 21 weeks How big is baby? Baseball Cap Any appointments this week? Yep, appointment every week until the end. This week is with my regular OB. Symptoms? Growing fast! Finally feeling the girls kick too, which is always reassuring. Rants/Raves/Questions? Not this week! GTKY: Do you have a new year's resolution or any goals for the new year (stolen from Saturday change)? Yep, I never take them too seriously... but my goal is to not pay full price! Trying to be a better saver/cuponer!
@diann21, I always wind up on my back too. There are only so many pillows you can try to prop yourself up with! However, I do not believe it is typically a concern. Your body will wake you if there are serious blood flow issues happening in the form of waking you up and tingling/numbness.
