2) How big is baby?  Big enough to put me in maternity pants today
3) How are you feeling?  Like I'm getting big fast!  Otherwise pretty normal
4) Any appointments this week? None until my anatomy scan in 2 weeks!
5) Rants/Raves/Questions I logged 70,000 steps Friday-Sunday exploring D.C. and my body feels it!

ariz17

1) How many weeks? 17 Weeks today!
2) How big is baby? As big as pomegranate 
3) How are you feeling? Okay. My back has been very achy especially if i get up after a long period of sitting.. aka being at work doesn't help this. I think the prenatals might be making me sick. I took it with an OJ today, which might be the problem... too much acidity? 
4) Any appointments this week? Not until May 16th when we find out the gender!
5) Rants/Raves/Questions
6) GTKY: What do you think you will most like about having an autumn baby? I'm excited I love the fall and so does DH. I am very excited we will have our little one for all of the major holidays!

I can't figure out how to add my ticker correctly... help!

azerimama

1) How many weeks? 18 weeks!!!! Holy crap only 22 to go!
2) How big is baby? Size of a tall decaf nonfat frap with whip lol..... or a sweet potato. Pick your fav.  
3) How are you feeling? Horrible. I had to take a break for the last few weeks from TB. I've been sick as a dog. I'm now down 7 lbs in the last 18 weeks. Today is my birthday (I'm 34 today, yikes!) and I can't eat well still. Birthday lunch is ice chips. This is getting old fast. I've been sleeping horrible, having nightmares, and have massive hip/lower back pain.
4) Any appointments this week? Finally broke down and made an appointment with a chiropractor for Wednesday. Next midwife appointment is on May 11th and gender ultrasound on May 18th!!!
5) Rants/Raves/Questions I just wanted to say I'm sorry I bailed for a few weeks. A close friend of mine lost her baby at 20 weeks, and because she's only a few weeks ahead of me, it hit me really hard. I needed some time to grieve and be scared for a bit. 
6) GTKY: What do you think you will most like about having an autumn baby? Not getting too hot wearing the moby wrap this time lol.... DD was a spring baby, and I wanted to babywear so bad, but just had a hard go with it being so hot in the summer. I think I will also like having maternity leave over the holidays. That would be nice.

azerimama  happy birhday!

azerimama

Thank you @ariz17 !

@azerimama So much in your post. Happy birthday! But I'm sorry you're feeling poorly. And I'm very sad to hear about your friend....that is heartbreaking. 

KSweet

1) How many weeks? 14
2) How big is baby? peach
3) How are you feeling? Not too bad...still tired in the evenings. Not quite up to speed but it gets better each week. 
4) Any appointments this week? no, darn it. I wish I could poke in and get them to listen to the heartbeat. I'm afraid to try it at home because I read home monitors often don't work before five months. 
5) Rants/Raves/Questions I think I felt the baby for the first time today but I'm just not sure. I hate this in-between time of not feeling as pregnant but not feeling movement yet. 
6) GTKY: What do you think you will most like about having an autumn baby? This will be my first autumn baby and I have to admit I'm a bit nervous. November is one of my least favorite months and I'm hoping the excitement of baby will make it better but I'm a bit nervous about postpartum blues meeting post-autumn blues. 

dogperson11

1) How many weeks? 18
2) How big is baby? Size of an artichoke
3) How are you feeling? Heartburn is ramping up but my nausea has FINALLY slowed down. Last Wednesday I finally started feeling "normal" again.
4) Any appointments this week? None, had my "16 week" appt last week
5) Rants/Raves/Questions: Just glad I'm not feeling so awful and I REALLY hope it lasts. I've got my anatomy scan scheduled for next Monday and I'm excited to get a detailed look at baby and find out the sex
6) GTKY: What do you think you will most like about having an autumn baby? No idea. DD was born at the very end of August. I'm not looking forward to being huge all summer again.

yasandson

1) How many weeks? 19, almost halfway! 
2) How big is baby? Four-toed hedgehog lol
3) How are you feeling? A little worried of how BV + low papp a will affect this pregnancy but i got me a doppler (thanks to O17 ladies power of persuasion) and i can now feel relieved 2-3 times a day lol. 
4) Any appointments this week?  Nop, A/S next week, real excited/anxious about that too. 
5) Rants/Raves/Questions 
I feel faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. And i know its gonna get worse lol. 
6) GTKY: What do you think you will most like about having an autumn baby?
Im always depressed in the winter. So im hoping, kind of like @KSweet said, that the happiness baby will bring 2 months before winter will change that. 

beezeee

1) How many weeks? 18 weeks

2) How big is baby? an artichoke

3) How are you feeling? Pretty good!

4) Any appointments this week? Nada until my anatomy scan in 2 weeks

5) Rants/Raves/Questions Nothing at the moment

6) GTKY: What do you think you will most like about having an autumn baby? Being off during the holidays and during Christmas shopping

KSweet

@yasandson What does BV and low papp mean? I tried to figure it out but my pregnancy brain is not up to the task. 

yasandson

@KSweet
BV = Bacterial Vaginosis. And  low papp a = low pregnancy assiciated plasma protein.

stefanirn06

) How many weeks? 14
2) How big is baby? peach
3) How are you feeling? pretty decent. Lots of RLP and pubic bone pain. Also look about 20 weeks pregnant and not 14!
4) Any appointments this week? none til 16 weeks
5) Rants/Raves/Questions Is the pubic bone pain normal so early? It's a nice shabby pain when I'm walking for too long...definitely don't remember it this severe or early with DD
6) GTKY: What do you think you will most like about having an autumn baby? I love fall activities. Apple picking, pumpkins, leaves changing colors. And it's not so freaking hot outside that I actually LIKE being outside. DD was born October 24 and our anniversary is October 18th. Definitely my favorite month! 

KSweet

@stefanirn06 I think everything happens earlier with each pregnancy

KSweet

@yasandson The Bump needs some other way to respond aside from "love it" -- I hope all will go well though and you will have no cause for concerns!

 

yasandson

@KSweet, thank you, thats sweet of you. 

rosepinkslipper

Action Figure

Constantly full. My bump has really popped this week and it feels like there is no room for anything else, including food!

4) Any appointments this week? 
Nothing until Anatomy Scan at 18 weeks. 

5) Rants/Raves/Questions 
Why does Prenatal Yoga feel like mind torture??!!

6) GTKY: What do you think you will most like about having an autumn baby? 
I am so happy that our son will be with us for Thanksgiving and Christmas. 

sqfibemom

1) How many weeks? 15
2) How big is baby? size of an orange
3) How are you feeling? Crappy most days, really queasy, all the headaches, sinuses hate me, refux, and my TMJD is acting up
4) Any appointments this week? Not for me
5) Rants/Raves/Questions Just over feeling like crap. Still waiting for the second tri energy and feeling better to kick in. The weather here has been shit so hopefully once it's nicer that will help my mood.
6) GTKY: What do you think you will most like about having an autumn baby? Gosh I hadn't really thought about it. I'm just hoping to make it to fall so I guess I'll enjoy having a full term, healthy baby, hopefully. It'll be nice that it won't be too hot or too cold too. And my three older ones are all going to be in school at least part time so it will be nice to have time with just me and baby.

callababy17

) How many weeks? 17!!
2) How big is baby? Pomegranate 
3) How are you feeling? Actually, I feel fine (surprisingly)... I feel bigger and lazier and hungrier...and I have to PEE every five seconds.  
4) Any appointments this week? Not til 20 weeks. Can't wait!
5) Rants/Raves/Questions I feel like I'm constantly being lectured about drinking water even though ALL I do is drink water and pee.  I get it. Stay hydrated.
6) GTKY: What do you think you will most like about having an autumn baby? I love the fall. LOVE it! DH's b-day is Sept 1, edd is 10/9 and my b-day is 11/4! Plus our anniversary is 11/1 so there are just so many wonderful celebrations in a row. So excited!
