1) How far along are you / how big is baby?

22w! Baby is the size of a coconut or papaya

2) How are you feeling?

Still generally good. I've had more stomach pain this week than I've had in awhile, but that's my main negative symptom. I've had a bit more energy the past two days so I'm **really** hoping it lasts! After having SI joint pain between weeks ~12-14 I've been extremely grateful for every day that I'm feeling good and able to be active.

3) Any appointments this or next week? 

Nope

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I've been loving feeling her moving around! She's mostly active in the mornings and at night so I haven't been feeling her all of the time but it's been fun to guess which direction she's facing.
5) How is your nursery coming along? When do you hope to have it finished?
Ours isn't at all! We are re-painting the office before making it the office/guest room, so right now the nursery is still 100% a guest room. But we've started moving things out of the office so hopefully will be able to paint within the week and really get started reorganizing. My goal is to have the nursery totally finished by mid-August, so in about a month, just in case I'm not feeling as good or able to help as much by that time.

1) How far along are you / how big is baby? 22w, the size of an ear of corn

2) How are you feeling? I have a bit of a cold but it's manageable. I feel alright, not sure what this theory of 2nd tri energy is about other than the fact that I can stay up until 10 instead of 9 like in the 1st tri. My 1st tri was relatively easy though so I think that's why I'm not noticing a huge difference. Definitely not complaining though. I'm completely grateful that I didn't have ms and other 1st tri woes. 

3) Any appointments this or next week? No. I haven't had an apt since 17 weeks because we were on vacation visiting family for a month after we left Korea and we have to find a house here in GA before I can get my insurance set up in order to schedule things. Last Friday though my MIL checked LO's hr and my bp (she's a L&D nurse) and all was well. Little Man is also very active. 

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Last night, DH was laying his head on my tummy and talking to my belly and LO kicked him in the face lol. DH felt his first kick a week ago and it was very light then but now he can feel them full force. 

5) How is your nursery coming along? When do you hope to have it finished? We haven't started at all, but that's because we're in the process of moving. I hope to have it done by the end of September since my shower is in the end of August.

1) How far along are you / how big is baby? 21 weeks, TB claims baby is as big as an endive?

2) How are you feeling? overall pretty good... sore, though for like no reason. My abdominal muscles feel like I did a ridiculous amount of sit ups.

3) Any appointments this or next week? Had one today. Baby looks good, heart rate sounded good. 

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? nothing this week

5) How is your nursery coming along? When do you hope to have it finished? HAHAHA, not even close. Most everything from DD was relatively gender neutral, so we're reusing crib/bedding, but we did decorate her room and make it pretty girly when we moved. DD and baby boy will be sharing a room (after we get done with the bassinet in our room) so we need to cut down the girl factor in the room some. 

This will likely require some paint and some new curtains, and moving the girl stuff to only DDs half of the room. This is turning out to be rather complicated...

1) How far along are you / how big is baby?
20 weeks. I think it said baby is the size of a banana. 

2) How are you feeling?

Feeling pretty good. Mostly just tired and hungry. I wish I had more energy.

3) Any appointments this or next week? 

I have my A/S next week!! 

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Nothing I can think of.

5) How is your nursery coming along? When do you hope to have it finished?
Baby will be in our room for at least a year, but my toddler has been cosleeping with us even though she has her own room so we are working on transitioning her to a toddler bed and sleeping in her own room. Now if I could just get DH to get the toddler bed put together...

1) How far along are you / how big is baby?

22 weeks. As per my usual comment..I cannot believe how fast things are moving now! I deliver at 26 weeks last time and I know how important it is to enjoy each and every moment!

2) How are you feeling?

Pretty "normal." I am starting to have trouble getting comfortable in bed but I am still sleeping ok once I get settled.

3) Any appointments this or next week? 

I have a regular OB appt on Wed 7/12

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Not that I can think of!

5) How is your nursery coming along? When do you hope to have it finished?
Until we move, the baby will be in our room. We have our crib up and are awaiting the mattress and bedding this week! I used the same crib with my older 3 but sold it so this time I ordered a gray crib and I am using Navy bedding with anchors and other nautical items. Even though he is with us, I want to him to have a little space of his own and things that can transition when he gets his own room or we move him in with other boys. Our bedding is gray and white and I have added Navy pillows to tie it all in. I LOVE to be in a comfy but pretty space!

@cottingham3 That sounds like a cute baby area. We're also going with a grey crib and navy bedding. I chose the colors as gender neutral back when we didn't want to know the sex of the baby (before the dr accidentally spilled the beans)
