MollyandD

How far along are you? 24 weeks

How big is baby? Eggplant or cantaloupe 

Any appointments this week? I just had one yesterday. Everything is going well. 

Symptoms? Nothing new. I'm feeling a lot more movement now, though. 

Cravings? I can't say I have anything specific. I'm fading away from my need for salt and vinegar chips, but I still love them. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'll think of something later, but nothing now. 

GTKY: What are your favorite guilty pleasure TV shows? I watch "Friends" every day, but it's not a "guilty" pleasure. It's more of a healthy obsession. My guilty pleasure is "Vanderpump Rules."

jdebaie

How far along are you?: 25 weeks

How big is baby?: A cauliflower

Any appointments this week?: Nope, not until later in February

Symptoms?: Back pain, heartburn increasing even more (who could have thought that possible), having that "heavy" feeling every time I stand up

Cravings?: SALT, any thing with salt - chips, french fries, anything and everything

Rants/Raves/Questions?: I'm feeling more irritable lately, my ability to deal with every day annoyances has lessened

GTKY: What are your favorite guilty pleasure TV shows?: This is US - only because it's not the typical type of show I watch at all! My friends are all shocked that I watch it and love it! Also - Outlander, because the book series is my favorite!

How far along are you? 
26 weeks

How big is baby? 
The size of kale(?) or a slow loris 

Any appointments this week? 
None

Symptoms? 
Nothing new in this department. Though the last two nights I have not had leg cramps, win! I started taking a calcium+magnesium supplement as per my midwife and it seems to be helping. Also eating a banana daily, though I'm not sure if that's actually helping- I just know it tastes good haha. 

Cravings? 
I'm so boring in the cravings department! Not a thing this last week. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? 
I got 2 really great nights sleep, and yet I'm still exhausted. That's disappointing. 

GTKY: What are your favorite guilty pleasure TV shows? 
I wouldn't say they're guilty pleasures, no shame in my tv show game! I love Scandal and Big Brother. And Bates Motel.

How far along are you? 24 weeks

How big is baby? cantaloupe or ear of corn

Any appointments this week? None til Thursday (I put off my 24 weeks to use a "sick day" before my mini vacation since I had my 20 week at 21 weeks. )

Symptoms? Some leg pain once in awhile, otherwise not much to report.

Cravings? None really

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm still ranting about my stupid anterior placenta. I used my doppler today for reassurance and heard kicks that I couldn't feel. Ugh!

GTKY: What are your favorite guilty pleasure TV shows? I used to watch every Bachelor/ette, but I'm not watching this season. I love Say Yes to the Dress. It's one DD and I watch if DH is not home. 

KMD1106

roper2617, I might have to try that supplement. Leg cramps are no fun!

mspacman34

How far along are you? 24 weeks

How big is baby? As long as an ear of corn

Any appointments this week? Had one this week and everything seems good.

Symptoms? I have been crazy tired this week from being so busy. I mentioned this to the Dr. and she said I'm at the stage where I should have the most energy and it will just go down from here. 

Cravings? I have been really wanting a chocolate shake and french fries. I finally got some the other day at 9 in the morning. They told me it would be 5 minutes on the fries because they were still serving breakfast. I told them I would wait. I'm so ridiculous some times. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? 

GTKY: What are your favorite guilty pleasure TV shows? I don't watch too many TV shows, but I currently really like Grimm and hate having to wait every week for the new episode to come out.

bacorrea

I've sucked at keeping up with this, sorry!

How far along are you? 25 weeks

How big is baby? Baseball Glove 

Any appointments this week? Next Friday I am seeing a new doctor. I'm excited about that! 

Symptoms? Nope. This kid is super active! He moves all day long. 

Cravings? Not really 

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope

GTKY: What are your favorite guilty pleasure TV shows? I love Greys, This is Us

jayandaplus

How far along are you? 23 weeks!

How big is baby? Grapefruit, chinchilla

Any appointments this week? Nope.

Symptoms? All the aches, but that's okay. Nausea is continuing to improve, just bad at bedtime. My appetite has risen from the dead, so that's exciting (but worrisome, too, because I don't want to be overindulgent.) Feeling the baby move more, and loving it! DH will talk to my belly and the baby will move when he does.

Cravings? Food, all the time.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I think the exhaustion is beginning to hit me, and I'm pretty pissed about it. I have a great night's sleep but still feel like I can sleep forever!

GTKY: What are your favorite guilty pleasure TV shows? The Bachelor. It's the only slime TV I watch.

roper2617

@jayandaplus I am right there with you on the sleep! Pretty sure my spirit animal is a bear. Eating and sleeping is my life right now lol

jayandaplus

@roper2617 Haha, yes! Eating and sleeping! I guess we should enjoy it now before LOs make it impossible to do either.

nda_roxybabe

How far along are you? 26 weeks, omg almost 3rd trimester!

How big is baby? Oops, missed this somehow! Papaya, Boule de pain, Kale

Any appointments this week? Nope

Symptoms? The occasional dizzy spells persist. I've told my coworkers if they see me head down at my desk I'm okay, just being dizzy.

Cravings? I think the cherry pop tart craving is on its way out. Nothing new to replace it.

Rants/Raves/Questions? @roper2617 Same on the exhaustion. Think we're starting to hit that 3rd trimester wall a little early maybe? @jayandaplus you too perhaps!

GTKY: What are your favorite guilty pleasure TV shows?  Oh man...I enjoy Pretty Little Liars (though I'm just ready for it to be done at this point), Vampire Diaries, really any of those teen type shows. I have been watching the Bachelor this season too because H and I like to laugh at the girls.

jayandaplus

@nda_roxybabe Are you going to miss you cherry poptart craving? I'm going to miss hearing about it.

nda_roxybabe

@jayandaplus LOL, I don't think so. I'm burning out on them. I have had a few brown sugar cinnamon ones...we shall see.

onebadmotha

How far along are you? 23 weeks!

How big is baby? A bunch of grapes (really?), 2 Pop-Tarts, or a mango

Any appointments this week? Routine check up this coming Monday

Symptoms? Peeing and eating a ton, out of breath easily, and my sex drive is finally returning (though I'm on pelvic rest until at least the end of February, when I have an ultrasound to see if my placenta's position has moved upward)

Cravings? All of the food. Currently, carrot cake (someone mentioned it on the randoms thread) and chocolate cake (today is National Chocolate Cake Day, so it's only right)

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope

GTKY: What are your favorite guilty pleasure TV shows? I'm ashamed to admit but...Teen Mom, which I completely admit is garbage TV. 

clebl24

How far along are you? 24 weeks and happy to hit viability week w/ @mollyandd, @kmd1106, @mspacmaan34,

How big is baby? Eggplant or cantaloupe 

Any appointments this week? nope

Symptoms? I'm not having nosebleeds, but I'm getting bloody snot pretty regularly.  Gross!

Cravings? I can't quit eating king cake, but I'm still on my salad kick too.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm to the point where I actually enjoy being pregnant. 

GTKY: What are your favorite guilty pleasure TV shows? Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, Survivor, and Suits.  I used to watch The Bachelor, but I finally gave it up.  I was so tempted to start watching again when the Bachelor thread started. I'll need something to binge watch on maternity leave. I'm thinking House of Cards or Game of Thrones.

roper2617

@nda_roxybabe I'm pretty inclined to believe it's the third tri wall hitting early! Though I am doing blood work to rule out other issues, such as low iron, but my money is on early third tri wall. 

KMD1106

@clebl24, yes yay for viability week! I'm a dork and only started my Amazon registry today because I wanted to wait til viability. 

jayandaplus

@KMD1106 That's not being a dork, that's completely understandable. I can't wait to hit viability!
