As far as Valentine's Day plans go DH and I just usually go to dinner and he gets me flowers. We don't really do anything special these days!

How big is baby? Cantelope
Any appointments this week? Nope - next Monday
Symptoms? Heartburn and sciatica
Cravings? Ummm...Onion Rings and just a mix of eveything. Pretty much whatever comes to my mind.
Rants/Raves/Questions? The only thing I like about being pregnant is my belly. It's just so cute.
GTKY: Since it's almost February, do you and your DH/SO do anything special for Valentine's Day? Valentine's Day is special to my husband and I because it was the day of our 1st date. We normally get dinner at expensive restaurants that we would normally never go to.
How far along are you? 26 weeks!
How big is baby? The length of a scallion or the size of a Double Gulp cup (according to my signature).
Any appointments this week? Nothing this week!
Symptoms? Just generally feeling a bit stretched and icky. Finding it harder to do silly little things like reach into the backseat to hand something to my son.
Cravings? Chocolate cake...and I haven't had any! Maybe I'll grab some on the way home tonight...
Rants/Raves/Questions? No questions, but I figure this is a good place to address that I am freaking out just a little bit because I am 10 weeks away from my likely induction date. I have a MFM appointment in 2 weeks and they will set an official induction date but it will be 10-11 weeks from today. It seems both so close and so far away.
GTKY: Since it's almost February, do you and your DH/SO do anything special for Valentine's Day? We have been doing sushi and lots o' drinks for the last 8 years or so on Valentine's. It's been such a fun tradition, but loses a little bit of it's excitement without the drinks, lol. We will likely order in some sushi. We also always buy each other perfume/cologne, so we'll take a trip to the mall to pick those up! I've been trying to think of something cute and small to do for 2.5 year old DS because he love celebrating holidays--I'm thinking about a few books with love/world love & tolerance messages--any suggestions?? (He also really loves books).
How big is baby? Hopefully about 2lbs. I will find out this afternoon!
Any appointments this week? I have an US and OB appointment this afternoon!
Symptoms? Moodiness has really kicked in this week... SI joint pain ongoing. That's about it.
Cravings? Not really. GD diet kind of keeps things in check and cravings haven't been bad this pregnancy
Rants/Raves/Questions? My boss is really delaying finding someone to cover me. On top of that, she's falling behind, not coming into work and not dealing with a lot of things that are falling into my lap and it's really stressing me out/frustrating me.
GTKY: Since it's almost February, do you and your DH/SO do anything special for Valentine's Day? We didn't do anything for our anniversary or Christmas. We've been having significant relationship struggles and we agreed that we needed to do something special together for V-Day. DS has guitar lessons and I have bowling league the night of, the weekend before we have family things and the weekend after he's going out of town to visit his friend, so I don't know what will actually happen or when.
@fbmandy55 Sorry work is sucking right now! I hope she steps up soon and finds someone to cover you so you can breath easier.
How far along are you? 24 weeks!!!!!!
How big is baby? Cantaloupe
Any appointments this week? Nope. Next week
Symptoms? Shortness of breath and exhaustion.
Cravings? All the junk food.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave: Had an awesome appointment at MFM on Friday and they got the best ultrasound pics I have had between the two pregnancies. Rant: I forgot to ask (and the doctor forgot) to double check that the sex was still consistent with the anatomy scan. This is not a big deal at all (and I am rather confident in the anatomy scan), but now that I know I could have had that second reassurance that we are having a boy I am bummed I didn't ask. Rave: My mom just finished the bedside tables for DS big boy room!! They were a hideous craigslist find, but I saw potential and she really made it happen!
GTKY: Since it's almost February, do you and your DH/SO do anything special for Valentine's Day? Nah. We have frequently ordered a pizza from somewhere that offered a heart-shaped pizza. We got to go on a date this past weekend that was wonderful. I don't like the crowds for dinner on valentines and it is a weeknight, so getting to simply sit on the couch would be awesome. Maybe as a present for me he would skip working on lecture prep for a night, ha! I will probably get him a card.

How far along are you? 24 weeks- viability hooray!!
How big is baby? A package of oreos
appointments this week? Nope.
Symptoms- none really. I keep forgetting I'm pregnant until the lil guy kicks me!
Cravings? Nope.
Rants/raves/questions- Younger daughter has started repeating some sounds we say, you guys!! She says "N-ooh" for "meow".
GTKY- I'm not sure what we will do for Valentine's Day. I'm not huge on it- I tend to just do something little like making cookies. Some years husband randomly goes huge, some years super simple.
How big is baby? Rutabaga
Any appointments this week? None this week
Symptoms? Trouble sleeping - If I get up to tt around 3 or 4, I might be awake for 2 hours after. I've even taken 1/2 a Benadryl some nights and it didn't help. It's QUITE annoying.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: I washed and dried my hair this morning, and it STILL looked jacked up so I ended up wearing a hat...could have saved myself the trouble! Then, the jeans I wore were cutting into my bump and I felt like it was making me look misshapen. We go to the library on Tuesdays, and I feel like I am the ONLY mom there who looks like a hobo.
GTKY: Since it's almost February, do you and your DH/SO do anything special for Valentine's Day? We actively DON'T go out to eat on V-day, because I can't. imagine. We usually designate another outing as our 'celebration' but it's nothing too fancy.
How big is baby? Size of a mango
Had appointment this morning. Went well BPM is in the 140s
Symptoms? My energy is short lived
My rant is in another thread.
GTKY: we usually do something low key. We both cook so we usually make a nice surf and turf dinner together. I bake too so I'm trying to pick out a cool dessert to make him as a surprise. Any ideas or suggestions?
How big is baby? Puffin!
Any appointments this week? None
Symptoms? Really bad hip pain when I sleep. Got so bad I can't use my snoogle anymore
Cravings? Just hungry. All. The. Time
Rants/Raves/Questions? Just received my shower invite. No going back now. So excited for March! DH finally got to feel baby which was so cool.
GTKY: Since it's almost February, do you and your DH/SO do anything special for Valentine's Day?
We usually go downtown Chicago for a show and/or a tasting menu. This year we are doing our babymoon the weekend after so we are going to postpone and celebrate then. I'm so excited for our massages!
@mrsCPALeslie what a nice tradition and how cute your 1st date was on Valentine's day!
@kipperoo so close to your induction date! I am also finding somethings hard to do, like put on shoes!
@fbmandy55 sorry work is so stressing right now!
@louise_belcher I too am going to ask for a quick reconfirm of sex at my next ultrasound. I don't think the next one will be until I get my 3D done though! Pretty confident that it is a boy though from the anatomy scan it was quite obvious!
@squirtgun yay viability!
@SWE2 yay for shower invites!
AFM...
How far along are you?
26 weeks! So close to 3rd tri! When do you ladies consider 3rd tri? I see mixed answers from 27 to 28 weeks.
How big is baby?
Butternut Squash, Kale or a Slow Loris
Any appointments this week?
None, next Wednesday for a regular check up
Symptoms?
Some heartburn depending on what I eat, uncomfortable if laying on one side too long, and the best one baby kicks!
Cravings?
Everything, I feel like I am perpetually hungry! Fried pickles have been a big one this whole pregnancy and unfortunately a lot of other junk food!
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rave: I passed my 1 hour GTT I took on Saturday! Yay! Doctor said I was a little anemic but that is to be expected around this time, just have to update my input of iron rich foods!
Question: Do you ladies have some good iron rich recipes you wouldn't mind sharing?
GTKY: Since it's almost February, do you and your DH/SO do anything special for Valentine's Day?
We never go out on actual Valentine's day because it is always way too packed everywhere! We usually go out the weekend before or after to a nice restaurant. I am not sure if we will do it this year. We usually combine it with DH's birthday celebration because it is a couple of days after Valentine's day.

How big is baby? Grapefruit/Barbie/chinchilla.
Any appointments this week? Checkup next week.
Symptoms? We can feel the baby move from the outside now, which is fun. Less fun: I feel like I'm carrying this baby lower than I did my son, like she's right on top of my bladder. I didn't feel this till much later last time.
Cravings? All the food.
Rants/Raves/Questions? My mom is coming up next week, and I'm excited to start going through baby clothes and working on the nursery.
GTKY: Since it's almost February, do you and your DH/SO do anything special for Valentine's Day? The anniversary of our first date is 2/16, so we usually celebrate that instead. All of our celebrations involve going out to a nice dinner, so I'm looking forward to getting dolled up for a nice kid-free night.
@lilylover27, congrats on passing the test!! I, too, am mildly anemic...hoping you get some good recipe suggestions that I can steal. :-)
How far along are you? 25 weeks
How big is baby? size of a cauliflower
Any appointments this week? glucose test tomorrow, and another checkup on Thursday. My ultrasound last week was good - baby is still growing well and they don't think steroids are needed right now, but they've restricted my activities more. No more housework or grocery shopping for me.
Symptoms? lots of hip pain and tightness. I miss yoga so much...
Cravings? all of the things. Plus now all this talk of deep fried pickles is making me want that too.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I finished painting the nursery yesterday and it turned out so much better than I expected. I'll post pictures in the nursery thread later when I'm back on my phone.
GTKY: Since it's almost February, do you and your DH/SO do anything special for Valentine's Day? @Louise_Belcher we also do heart shaped pizza! Spicy Perogy Pizza from Boston Pizza. But that's as far as Valentine's Day plans go. Our anniversary is the week before and we go out for a fancy, boozy brunch for that every year, so we tend to keep V-Day pretty low-key.
@Kipperoo thank you!
