1. How far along are you/ how big is baby?
I'm 25+4! Baby is the size of a cauliflower. 

2. How are you feeling?
I'm having sciatica off and on, but other than that feeling pretty good. Can't imagine getting much bigger than I am, though, and I still have 3 months to go!

3. Any Appointments this week?
I have a regular OB appointment tomorrow.

4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
How are people responding to constant baby names question? Keeping it a secret? My husband and I are really struggling to pick a name, but don't know what to say when people are constantly asking us. And if we mention any that we're considering, people definitely weigh in pro or con.

5. GTKY: How are you and SO preparing for baby? Hospital Tours, birth classes, whatever and etc. (Copied from Wednesday …. thanks Wednesday!)
We just took a CPR class, and we're starting an updated childbirth and care class later next month. I also am enjoying prenatal yoga classes!

1.) How far along are you? 

26 weeks! 

2.) How are you feeling? 

Overall pretty good. We had a bit of a scare this weekend with preterm contractions that led me to spend the night in the hospital. Where the contractions have stopped she dropped a little more and is causing a lovely crushing sensation in my pelvic area. 

3.) any appointments this week? 

Not until the 14th

4.) Rants/Raves/Questions. 

Rave- we have an amazing hospital system that helped stop my contractions this weekend. 

Rants- my MIL feels as though she was the one experiencing the contractions and all the scariness that comes with preterm labor. 

5.) how are you preparing for baby? 

I'm a STM and we didn't do any classes with our first and do not feel the need to but I may be looking into an infant cpr class to refresh my memory.

@buhundbae we have a name picked out when people ask we tell them we are keeping it a secret cause we want something to be a surprise when she is born. We also want to make sure the name suites her.  

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

25 weeks….  Only 15 more weeks … where is time going.

2. How are you feeling?

I have been feeling good this week a little tired.

3. Any Appointments this week?

Regular check up on Wednesday!

4. Rants/Raves/Questions?

Rave: It’s slow in the summers at work (I work at a college) so I have been getting my office organized for whoever covers my year maternity leave (I live in Canada).

I also have next week off so I am hoping to paint the babies room.

5. GTKY: How are you and SO preparing for baby? Hospital Tours, birth classes, whatever and etc. (Copied from Wednesday …. thanks Wednesday!)

I am on a waitlist for a prenatal class hoping to hear about it soon, I also go to a prenatal clinic for my Dr. Appointments at the hospital I will deliver in, they will give me a tour as part of the clinic.

1. How far along are you/ how big is baby?
23 weeks - size of a grapefruit 
2. How are you feeling?
Tired and I've been having this stabbing pain in my right side under my belly that's bothering me. 
3. Any Appointments this week?
Nope, I cancelled my progesterone shot for tomorrow because my supervisor decided to make that my day off and I'm not driving over an hour each way just for a 10 minute nurse visit. 
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rave: My new neighbor had a yard sale yesterday and my fiance went over there and bought a bassinet while I was at work. When I got off later I was talking to her and she said he was so excited about the bassinet. I wish I could've seen him be excited because he never shows excitement when I try to show him what I get for the baby.
5. GTKY: How are you and SO preparing for baby? Hospital Tours, birth classes, whatever and etc
Nothing really. We're both just too busy to take any type of classes. Maybe a hospital tour can be squeezed in somewhere. Should've tried to do that while we were visiting his dad at the hospital tonight.

4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
Anyone else have low blood pressure normally and experiencing lower than normal?

I need to sign up for classes and a tour. Seriously procrastinating

@AntWolfe
My blood pressure is always on the lower end and has been lower since being pregnant but the doctors and nurses haven't said anything about it so I guess it's fine/normal.
