Re: Monday Ticker Change 1.23.2017
How big is baby? 11 inches or spaghetti squash
Appointments this week? None for a while
Symptoms? Hip pain, back pain, and heartburn. I think I'll have the same 3 symptoms until I give birth.
Rant/Rave/Questions? My friend gave me a Best Cradle belly hoister thing. I put it on last night because I was desperate for some back pain relief, and it actually helped. I have it on until my clothes this morning and I'm heading to physical therapy. Feeling some Monday blues this morning (Steelers didn't help last night) so I'm hoping I can be in a good mood today!
GTKY: What's something you love about your hometown or where you live now? I'm from a small town that's known for growing apples and producing applesauce. The amount of orchards is really beautiful, and I've never seen another town like it. It's something you take for granted when you live there but then appreciate it when you move away.

2 cantaloupes! I realized since they're each a foot long at this point, lengthwise there's already more baby in there than when i delivered my dd!
U/s thursday! Cant wait to see them and make sure they're on track
My pelvic area hurts SO BAD. it literally pops all night. My hips and back hurt too. I never experienced this with dd. Also my boobs are incredibly sore, im exhausted, out of breath, and already having a hard time bending and getting up off couch. I found a pic from 37 weeks with dd and i look pretty similar bellywise already. Thankfully there still isnt much swelling going on though!
Any othef twin moms feel done by now?
I love everything about my hometown. Were close to beaches, big cities for shopping, and even no too far from the mountains. It's cozy and everyome knows everyone. I hated going places in college and not running into people i knew
How far along? 25 Weeks
How big is baby? Baseball Glove
Appointments this week? Nope, nothing for a while
Symptoms? lower back pain...seriously considering getting a belly band to see if it helps
Rant/Rave/Questions? We went and registered last weekend, HOLY MOLY that was overwhelming.
GTKY: What's something you love about your hometown or where you live now? It is not too small and close enough to a big city that I feel I am not missing out on anything.
How far along? 26 weeks
How big is baby? Bowling pin
Appointments this week? None
Symptoms? My belly is now getting in the way of things. I can also now see the shadow of the linea negra from top to bottom but it's not dark yet.

GTKY: What's something you love about your hometown or where you live now? Iove that we have a big city next to the mountains so you have nature and city right next to each other. Makes the possibilities of things to do really great.

Follow up with the chiropractor on Wednesday. Other than that no Baby appointments until next month.
Still feeling very nauseous, hip pain, and sleepiness.
As a STM I am loving the registry as my "need/want" list. It's helping me keep track of the things I hope to have replaced or updated by the time Baby arrives.
I love the city we are in. There are always things to do from sporting events to theater shows. It has lots of kid friendly/family oriented events too- annual children's festival, science center, our zoo... we live in the suburbs which is awesome because there isn't so much of the fast pace and everyone knows everyone. It's really the best of both worlds.

coconut/spaghetti squash/water bottle
i have some sacroiliitis and it's kinda annoying. I think I need to find some stretches or get sone PT or something!
appointments: none until my next OB follow up and A/S follow up on Feb 2
R/R/Q: I'm so excited we got some of our nursery items set up for delivery!! I can't wait for them to come (although they aren't coming until we are in week 24)
GTKY: I loved my hometown. It was a much bigger city than where we are now so I could do whatever whenever. The smaller area we live in now is nice but it would be nice to have a better shopping or restaurant situation once in a while.
How big is baby? A cantalope
Appointments this week? PT today, OB on Wednesday and my glucose test sometime in between
Symptoms? SPD and heartburn.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I have been feeling pretty discouraged about the SPD. This will be my third PT appointment and I feel like all it does is make me sore aftterward. I'm going to stick it out for a few more times and hopefully I can start feeling some improvement.
GTKY: What's something you love about your hometown or where you live now? I live in a small city right next to the mountains so I feel like we have the best of both worlds. City conveniences with beautiful views and close access to a lot of outdoor activities.
How big is baby? size of Kale (I was not having any luck searching for a more fun size comparison)
Appointments this week? nope
Symptoms? Nothing seems to have changed
Rant/Rave/Questions? current dilemma is figuring our what carseat for baby since we've got 2 in carseats right now. not a big enough backseat!
GTKY: What's something you love about your hometown or where you live now? Hometown, there were lots of cities that just kinda blended together. So lots to do, but I loved my old neighborhoods growing up. Current location, it's a smaller rural town but we're within 20 minutes of two larger cities in our state so we get to enjoy the "small town" life as well as get the activities and entertainment of the larger cities
@vrj0522 Third pregnancy is no joke! The pain in my cervix/pelvis is already pretty intense and I don't remember this until the end last time. This LO must be hanging out petty low. I was wondering when my lovely linea nigre was going to pop up! I'm a couple weeks behind you but I think I see the very faintest darkening. Isn't it crazy that it's in the exact same spot every pregnancy!?

How big is baby?
A Barbie Doll which 5yr old DD thought was hilarious.
Appointments this week?
Next week!
Symptoms?
Feeling more kicks, finally!
The cervix/pelvic pain is unreal already. Especially
after yesterday when I was carrying laundry up three flights of stairs...
Rant/Rave/Questions?
I went to the doctor on Friday for a cough that I've had for about 3wks that is not improving. The doctor wasn't happy with one of my lungs but wanted to wait a week before doing a chest X-ray to see if I had any improvement after an inhaler and some meds. The cough is still nagging but I *think* I feel slightly less out of breath.. but it's really hard to tell if I'm having shortness of breath because I'm still sick or because of a normal pregnancy symptom...
GTKY: What's something you love about your hometown or where you live now?
I miss my hometown everyday and totally took for
granted the wonderful weather, great shopping/restaurants, and stuff to do everywhere!

How big is baby?
The size of a cantaloupe!
Appointments this week?
Next Monday January 30th we have a midwife appointment and then I have a prenatal massage right after! We also started prenatal classes and we are both loving them!
Symptoms?
Back pain is a big one lately, as well as hip pain, and disruptions in sleep, I've also had a bit of heart burn but it hasn't been too bad yet....and so so much movement!
Rant/Rave/Questions?
Sorry I've been a bit MIA lately...we actually moved our home office down to the basement (to make way for the nursery
GTKY: What's something you love about your hometown or where you live now?
Such an appropriate question for this week as DH and I have been toying with the idea of trying to move back closer to our hometown (we are about 2 hours away right now). Our family all lives in or close to our hometown, so that is something that I really love....and also just the nostalgic feeling I get every time I go back, and just the immense sense of familiarity and comfort that it gives me. As for where we live now, I really love the neighbourhood, it is a really central area, close to the big cities, but still quiet, and there is always a tonne of stuff going on!

Little man is the size of a G.I. Joe.
No appts this week.
I've had more sciatica while sitting at my desk or laying on the couch. So not impressed w/ this kid not letting me be lazy. I've also had some heartburn while laying on the couch. Seeing a trend here?
I love my home town but I'm so glad I moved 1500 miles away. It's tiny and everyone knows everyone's business. The closest small city is 3 hours away and there is a complete lack of professional jobs. My small midwestern childhood was priceless and I'm sad my kid won't experience that. My current home, Phoenix, is mostly great. I love the food scene here. I forget how hot hot can be until June rolls around every year. I don't miss the snow. And there are a ton of midwesterners here from all parts of my life (childhood, HS, college, & law school) so we have a decent sized network before meeting native Arizonians, which are awesome people too.

I grew up on the East side, but I went to ASU so I'm semi-familiar with the central area. The west side is like a foreign town to me though!

Rant/Rave/Questions?
My students finally called me out today, after I told them I was pregnant....one stated... "I just thought you were eating too much pizza and pasta and all that stuff... Thought maybe you needed to work out more"
GTKY: What's something you love about your hometown or where you live now?
I Love my current town for it's accessibility to everything!! Exactly in the middle to both of our jobs, so close to all stores/malls. 20 min from all of our family, great schools! Most importantly I love the Chicago Burbs since I can get down town in less than an hour and get to the county in less of an hour!! Best of both worlds!
