1) How many weeks?
24

2) How big is baby?
cantaloupe 

3) Team blue, pink or green?
Blue!

4) How are you feeling?
Front/top heavy and all the fun that comes with - lower back aches, RLP, etc. leg cramps occasionally at night. Rolling over in bed is becoming more difficult. 

5) Any appointments this week? 
Midewife appointment this morning. Just a routine visit. 

6) Rants/Raves/Questions?

7) GTKY: Has your tummy started getting in the way yet? Has anything become more difficult because of it?
Last night i was tying my shoes to go for a walk. I realized it was more difficult because I have a giant bump in the way! And in the end, I was basically out of breath from doing it without help ... before our walk! DH and I had a good laugh. Little does he know this will become his job in the very near future ...

1) How many weeks? 22! Time is moving so quickly. 

2) How big is baby? A coconut. Doesn't that seem huge? 

3) Team blue, pink or green? Blue! 

4) How are you feeling? Pretty good overall. I get tired and out of breath more quickly, but this is still way better than 1st trimester. 

5) Any appointments this week?  Nothing until next week. 

6) Rants/Raves/Questions? NATM

7) GTKY: Has your tummy started getting in the way yet? Has anything become more difficult because of it? Yeah it was more difficult to clip my toenails the other day. And shave my legs! I can't imagine doing all of this with a 9-month pregnant belly .

1) How many weeks? 24! Time is flying

2) How big is baby? The size of a cantaloupe... Seems sooo big!

3) Team blue, pink or green? Pink

4) How are you feeling? So so. Tired but I think that's because I've been staying up too late. 

5) Any appointments this week? Not until the 29th! Seems so far away

6) Rants/Raves/Questions? 

7) GTKY: Has your tummy started getting in the way yet? Has anything become more difficult because of it? +1 on the shaving. Especially the lady bits  Its hard for me to get of this one part of the couch too. BF has to assist me by gently pushing my back while I scoot off lol. Or i have to roll off by myself. Also, I accidentally turned into a wall because I forgot how big my belly was (sorry baby girl).

1) How many weeks?

2) How big is baby?
Coconut-sized — but I agree with @jessirh; that seems too big!

3) Team blue, pink or green?
Team Pink! 

4) How are you feeling?
Pretty good, having some trouble falling back asleep in the middle of the night but still enjoying the second trimester  

5) Any appointments this week? 
N/A

6) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm majorly conflicted over a middle name for this little girl — I may post in the name thread about our dilemma later.

7) GTKY: Has your tummy started getting in the way yet? Has anything become more difficult because of it?
Not really getting in the way, but we went to the Preds game on Sunday and my normal fitted jersey wouldn't cover the baby bump, so I had to wear a youth large we got at an end-of-year sale a few years ago  

aprilsarahjune

1) How many weeks? 23!

2) How big is baby? Grapefruit!

3) Team blue, pink or green? Blue

4) How are you feeling? Good, I guess.  I had a burst of energy this past weekend and was cleaning and gardening like crazy, on top of t-ball games and a trip to the pool with the kids. 

5) Any appointments this week? Nope!

6) Rants/Raves/Questions?  I keep imagining my water breaking ... like now (and not 4 months from now).  The image in my head is driving me crazy.  I have PGAL brain and am also a preemie mom, with my water breaking  early (33 weeks and 37 weeks) for both of my prior pregnancies.

7) GTKY: Has your tummy started getting in the way yet? Has anything become more difficult because of it? I couldn't squeeze behind the couch to get my charger last night ... instead, I had to crawl and reach.

@marousse I feel ya in the moving department. We are trying to sell and build. I am so exhausted. Hopefully it's all done before the third trimester. 

natleilynn

@spark88 sell AND build?

Alright there, wonderwoman.

Just selling and buying non-preggo is exhausting enough. Kudos to you for selling and BUILDING.

Haha well I am not building it. I just sit back and comment. 

natleilynn

@spark88 but decisions must be made! My in-laws and cousins are all building right now and my parents finally moved into theirs last fall. I am/was stressed enough for all of them. haha

flowerintherain

1) How many weeks?
21 weeks

2) How big is baby?
Endive? lol I know we've discussed what this is, but I don't remember

3) Team blue, pink or green?
Pink

4) How are you feeling?
Fine except for still recovering from my fall. Today is the first day I haven't been in a ton of pain and actually feel sorta human. My face and teeth are still busted up really bad. Fortunately the dentist said my teeth can be saved for probably 5-10 years, but I'll eventually lose them due to nerve damage and need dental implants. Everything's good other than that. 

5) Any appointments this week? 
I was supposed to follow up with my doctor after my er visit, but they can't get in till next tuesday. 

6) Rants/Raves/Questions?
None at the moment

7) GTKY: Has your tummy started getting in the way yet? Has anything become more difficult because of it?
I guess I'm the odd man out here, but I'm still barely showing and the bump hasn't caused me any problems yet. I'm sure it's coming though! 

sdarling2010

@flowerintherain I'm so glad you're feeling a bit better after your fall! 

soprano19

1) How many weeks?
23 weeks!

2) How big is baby?
Grapefruit or Barbie doll

3) Team blue, pink or green?
Team pink!

4) How are you feeling?
Pretty good, except for feeling short of breath occasionally.

5) Any appointments this week? 
Yes, we have our 24 week check-up on Friday.

6) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Not at the moment.

7) GTKY: Has your tummy started getting in the way yet? Has anything become more difficult because of it?
The biggest challenge has been putting on shoes. We were away this weekend and I only brought one pair of sandals, but they required buckling and it was quite difficult.

tyannej

1) How many weeks?
23! #VIABILITY

2) How big is baby?
The size of a box of macaroni

3) Team blue, pink or green?
PINK!

4) How are you feeling?
I'm good, just hot all the time, thank you Texas. 

5) Any appointments this week? 
Nope, not until July 5th.

6) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Is anyone else's child sitting as low as mine? I cannot get her out of my pelvis. And today I felt like she was so low and there was so much pressure that if I were to have squatted her foot would pop out or something. 

7) GTKY: Has your tummy started getting in the way yet? Has anything become more difficult because of it?
Yes, I've always been skinny and now I don't realize it but my stomach hits more things more often. Like the smaller spaces I used to fit though (like walking behind someone's in my office), now I have to turn sideways. The time frame between shaving my legs is getting longer and longer. Sleeping is becoming uncomfortable, I'm naturally a stomach sleeper, so on my side with my pregnancy pillow is all I have right now and my stomach stretches when I don't have support under it. Woooo, I already have a list going....

natleilynn

@tyannej please see my discussion in random chat regarding baby getting ready to fall out. Lol. You aren't alone!! 

marousse

@spark88 We built as well and just closed yesterday. On top of the regular stress, we had to live in a hotel for a week after we sold our house because the closing date was moved on the new house. Stay strong. All the hiccups in the road will be something to look back and laugh at (one day). Lol

tyannej

@natleilynn I love tit'd! But really though. I'm glad I'm not. Everyone talks about the baby getting up in your ribs. Like I would rather her be in my rib cage than feeling like she's going to fall out of my vagina at any given moment! 

Also, to the wives tale, I lost it in the randoms
comments. This is my first baby and it's a little girl. 

smartin90-2

1) How many weeks? 22, I'm a day late!

2) How big is baby? Size of a coconut, or a Nalgene water bottle.

3) Team blue, pink or green? Pink!

4) How are you feeling? Pretty good, difficulty sleeping at night without my preggo pillow. Fell asleep without it last night & woke up feeling like I had been doing crunches all night long. 

5) Any appointments this week? None until July 7th. 

6) Rants/Raves/Questions? Hitting the point where I hate clothes. Even some of my maternity shirts are becoming too short & its annoying.

7) GTKY: Has your tummy started getting in the way yet? Has anything become more difficult because of it? Yes, it's finally starting to be out there out there & I can't bend over any more like I normally do. Clipping toe nails, painting toe nails, shaving my legs, etc are all a chore. Lol
