failuretofly

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 25 weeks! Cauliflower

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings? Good. Just want ALL THE CARBS ALL THE TIME still. 

3) Remind us of your baby's sex if you found out. Do you have a name yet? Girl. Been TRYING my damndest to get DH to at least consider ONE name... but nope. I've pitched probably 20 names and he keeps shooting them down... but not offering any (real) suggestions in return!

4) Any appointments this week/last? Nope

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Woke up to pee at about 3:30 this morning and babe decided it was time for a dance party! As much as I love feeling her wiggle around in there, mama needs her sleep! Last night before bed she had her first episode of hiccups! I don't know why I feel like that's a milestone in and of itself, because DS had them ALL the time at the end of my pregnancy with him and after he was born. 

6) GTKY: You're at a diner on a Sunday morning --- what are you ordering? Sometime akin to a Grand Slam. I want a little bit of everything! Pancakes, hashbrowns, eggs, bacon. All the things!

disneyfan0511

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 26 weeks - butternut squash

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings? I've come down with a cold, had a fever last night of 102, it's a little lower today but I plan on resting most of the day today to hopefully get over whatever I have.

3) Remind us of your baby's sex if you found out. Do you have a name yet?Boy, we have a name

4) Any appointments this week/last? Appointment tomorrow

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? We have three different thermometers in our house, I used all three last night and all three gave a different reading. So frustrating, I just wish I knew what was the most accurate...

6) GTKY: You're at a diner on a Sunday morning --- what are you ordering?  Eggs (over easy if not pregnant, over hard while pregnant), toast, corn beef hash (guilty pleasure). 

peachy13

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?  26 weeks, a lettuce/kale? It's just nice to say that I'm 6 months along.

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings? Feeling great. Craving everything.

3) Remind us of your baby's sex if you found out. Do you have a name yet? It's a girl - Beverly.

4) Any appointments this week/last? A week from today I have my check up and glucose test.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Raving about the glider DH bought for me! We were going to split it (we have separate bank accounts) but he said that I'm going to be the primary person "working" in it, so he wants to buy it in full. Yay! I've had the hardest time tracking down this damn chair because it keeps going out of stock, but I finally pulled the trigger yesterday morning when I saw that it was available online online, meaning we have to pay for shipping rather than pick up in our local Toys R Us. Whatever! We have it, and it's on its way. I checked the chair again after we had bought it and it was already out of stock, so I'm one happy gal right now. (link to chair if anyone is interested... it was very comfy and compact, not one of those huge gliders: https://www.toysrus.com/buy/chair-ottoman-sets/shermag-aiden-glider-and-ottoman-set-white-with-grey-fabric-37580cb.15.1139-58328866)

6) GTKY: You're at a diner on a Sunday morning --- what are you ordering? scrambled eggs, homefries, and toast with jelly... with one pancake on the side drenched in maple syrup. 

andipandicWed121369

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?  26 weeks, a scallion, I guess???

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings? I felt awful all day yesterday.  I'm hoping it was just a weather shift but I still, every couple of weeks, have just a rotten day.  I am craving Reeses pumpkins.  I'm waiting for Target to come out with the individual ones though.  I don't want to demolish a whole bag!

3) Remind us of your baby's sex if you found out. Do you have a name yet? boy, still Poor Nameless Baby

4) Any appointments this week/last? No, but I do have to do my second glucose test this week.  I think it's total BS that I have to do it twice!

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Not really, since I'm have a c-section at 39 weeks, I'm 2/3rds through today.  Woohoo!

6) GTKY: You're at a diner on a Sunday morning --- what are you ordering?  Please let it be a buffet so I can get 2 of everything.  I want ham, bacon, sausage, eggs, toast, pancakes and french toast.  nom nom nom.

disneyfan0511

@andipandicWed121369 do you have your c/s date yet? I am hoping to get it scheduled soon since it will be close to Thanksgiving(ish). 

holzie-2

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 25 weeks, cauliflower

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings?  Pretty much the same, still have numbness in my leg.  

3) Remind us of your baby's sex if you found out. Do you have a name yet?  Boy.  Nathan

4) Any appointments this week/last? Not until 9/7

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?  LO moved a remote on my belly Monday for the first time!  it was great to watch that!  

6) GTKY: You're at a diner on a Sunday morning --- what are you ordering?  Pancakes or waffles....or french toast.  

cait5413

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 24 weeks--woo hoo

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings? Mostly tired due to DD's nighttime antics, combined with LO's kicks. I think I picked up a cold due to lack of sleep

3) Remind us of your baby's sex if you found out. Do you have a name yet? We are still debating names, but won't decide til we meet LO

4) Any appointments this week/last? Today and it was really quick! Every other appointment has been about 1.5 hours--90% of which is waiting, but this time I was in and out. Everything sounds good, weight gain is fine, and I got to take home my GD test drink to drink before my appointment next time. I'll also get my rhogam shot then. 

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? 

6) GTKY: You're at a diner on a Sunday morning --- what are you ordering? I don't have a consistent order, honestly. It depends on my mood. Huevos Rancheros will often call to me, or some spin on an eggs benedict, especially if it features a crabcake (pretty fancy for a diner, but there are diner-esque places in New Orleans that have them). If I order bacon, it must be completely crisp. I also love some hashbrowns/homefries on the side. A pecan waffle is also tasty...

@disneyfan0511 my OB told me my c/s will likely be in my 39th week, but not scheduled yet. I am also wondering when they will schedule it. I'll ask next time. Hope you feel better--I mentioned to my OB that I think I picked up a cold and she wrote me a script for a decongestant I can take. She said if I get a fever, let them know and they will probably put me on an antibiotic.

@andipandicWed121369 Our grocery store has had the Reese's pumpkins for weeks now! I have resisted buying them so far, but I probably will nab one soon. 

oncape100615

@andipandicWed121369 - I have to do THREE glucose tests! DS was 11.2lbs (and 23 inches) and by drs calc only 5 days late (I had a miscarriage and D&C before him and never got a period again so the dates were an estimate - I feel like he was more like 2+ weeks late) and they think they "missed" GD last time around. So I had to do any early glucose test about 4 weeks ago (all clear), the regular one in a few weeks, and then ANOTHER around 33 weeks. Needless to say, less than excited about them.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 23 weeks - grapefruit!

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings? Just hungry, period. I had a decent breakfast (honey nut cheerios and some banana with my kiddos) and was ravenous at 10:15, so I ate my lunch... not sure what I'm going to do when hunger strikes next ... maybe run to the grocery store for resees pumpkins

3) Remind us of your baby's sex if you found out. Do you have a name yet? Girl - and I'm second guessing all the names I've been liking. SOooo back to the drawing board?

4) Any appointments this week/last? Nothing until next week.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Anyone else hypothyroid? I have been since after my DS was born and I've been SO exhausted lately I'm beginning to think I need my Rx changed. Will discuss at my appointment next week, but it was all I could do to keep my eyes open yesterday, brutal!

6) GTKY: You're at a diner on a Sunday morning --- what are you ordering? Eggs Benedict Florentine or an omelette with spinach, feta and bacon.

disneyfan0511

@cait5413 Mine said 38 or 39 weeks (38 weeks is Thanksgiving so I just want to know!!) but I'm going to ask at my appt tomorrow. I had DD2 at 37 weeks bc my water broke and I went into labor which is why I might go earlier than the standard 39 weeks.. but we'll see! Since I have my appt tomorrow I'm going to see if I need meds to knock this cold/virus out, it's really dragging down my already non-existent energy level....Tylenol is keeping the fever down so that is the good news.

andipandicWed121369

@disneyfan0511  and @cait5413
The doc's office offered me Nov 30th for my c/s but the wrong doc was on so I told them I wanted my doc and now I have to wait for the December calendar to go up.  I am so impatient!  My doctor said that they can schedule exactly 39 weeks or after but not before.    I was hopeful for a November baby!

andipandicWed121369

@oncape100615  If they try to test me again at 33 weeks, someone is getting punched.  For real.  I'm sorry you have to go through that!

pinkishrabbit

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?  25 weeks - size of a Cauliflower! 

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings?  So moody! And only craving junk food - I could eat Del Taco for every single meal. 

3) Remind us of your baby's sex if you found out. Do you have a name yet?  Girl, but cannot decide on a first name - middle name is Pauline after my favorite great aunt.  Suggestions are welcome!  

4) Any appointments this week/last? Had an ultrasound yesterday.  Everything was good but the little turkey wouldn't get her hands out of her face for us to see her! 

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? I wish I didn't want to eat all the time! And not looking forward to my glucose test coming up. A1C is perfect but you never know

6) GTKY: You're at a diner on a Sunday morning --- what are you ordering?  Hash browns, bacon, toast, waffle... yum...  

balletnerd

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

24 weeks. Cantaloupe

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings?
Great. No just food all the time
3) Remind us of your baby's sex if you found out. Do you have a name yet?

Girl - no name but we have a few front runners now

4) Any appointments this week/last?

Today. Just a quick heartbeat and check in. Everything looks and sounds good.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

Rave- had my first baby shower! Got so many things! My friends and family were super generous. I had a blast!
Rant- (only slightly) Love that I got so many cute outfits for LO at shower. But that's almost all we got. I mostly registered for practical items but I guess no one wanted to buy those. Oh well - she wont be naked at least hahaha

6) GTKY: You're at a diner on a Sunday morning --- what are you ordering?
Cheese omelet and hashbrowns

dilbert890

1) how far along are you? How big is baby?
23 weeks. The size of a big burrito

 

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings?
hungry. I've gained 4.5 lbs since last Sunday :O cravings? Appetizers - deep fried pickles, mozzarella sticks, anything on a party platter. In all honesty I could eat all the food right now. 

3) Remind us of your baby's sex if you found out. Do you have a name yet?
boy. I will be shocked if it's not Felix. We're already calling him Felix. 

4) Any appointments this week/last?
last Friday. Measuring normal size, heartbeat 145-150. It was a lame appointment. Am I a terrible mom wishing I could skip stupid appointments like that? 

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
saw my friend who had a c-section last Monday (saw her Friday). I'm so glad I have a doula. 
I posted this question on the concern board, thinking of getting a physio for a pelvic floor assessment and exercise instructions. But there's so many expenses with all these "luxury" items. I was supposed to make friends with these kinds of professionals when I was in university...

6) GTKY: You're at a diner on a Sunday morning --- what are you ordering?
i never regret chocolate milk, 2 eggs over easy (hard when pregnant), potato cubes deep fried (not hash browns although I'm convinced they're called that some places, so home fries? I always get them mixed up lol), bacon and toast. I hate it when they serve cheap or microwave bacon. I want a good fleshy piece of bacon. 

cait5413

@balletnerd that is one reason we kept the sex of DD a secret. Everyone loves to buy baby girl clothes

oncape100615

@andipandicWed121369 - they told me ahead of time they wanted to do a second test around 33 weeks, but a month or so ago when I walked into my routine appointment they threw it on me and made me chug it right down in the waiting room and have my blood drawn after my appointment. I was just about ready to punch someone!

SoxGirl982

A day late (thanks a lot work events!) but here I am

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 26 weeks! Baby is a head of lettuce!

2) How are you feeling? Any cravings? Still tired, but generally ok. Nothing crazy for cravings this week. 

3) Remind us of your baby's sex if you found out. Do you have a name yet? Girl. And no name yet (or anytime soon most likely)

4) Any appointments this week/last? I had an appointment first thing Monday morning to check the status of my complete placenta previa. Andddd they cancelled it due to the ultrasound tech being sick. So I cried on the phone to my office and they made me another appointment for later on Monday.

IT FREAKIN MOVED!!!!!!

Dr said he was looking at my scans from last time and fully expecting to discuss planned C section for 36 weeks with me. And that he has never seen a previa like mine move so fast and so out of the way (5cm off the cervix!) So I'm super excited and feel like I can just enjoy the next 14 weeks!!!  

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Just still on a high from the placenta movement! Weeeeeeeeee!!!!

6) GTKY: You're at a diner on a Sunday morning --- what are you ordering? ALL THE THINGS. My usual order is either chocolate chip pancakes, "Irish Benedict" (Eggs Benedict with corned beef hash instead of Canadian bacon) or biscuits and gravy. All with homefries/hasbrowns. Then I need a serious nap

balletnerd

@SoxGirl982 yay!!! Congrats! I'm so happy for you. I don't get another look at my low lying placenta until Sept 25th which feels so far away... but you have given me more hope

failuretofly

@SoxGirl982 That is SUCH great news! I am SO happy for you!!

pink flamingo

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

3) Remind us of your baby's sex if you found out. Do you have a name yet?

We are not finding out 

4) Any appointments this week/last?
so last week or the week before( I forgot ) I had an US starting at my neck all the way to my belly for work. It's part of our physicals every year . Anyways when the girl got to my belly she saw the baby and of course we started there for a bit, watched the baby and she even got a couple of snapshots !!! Anyways while she's looking she's like " ohh are you having two ?" ............ I was like WHAT!!! NO!! WHY!!! She said she though she saw another one and then said well she is not certified to do OB soooooo ?!?!?! Anyways I'm going to mention it at my next appointment at the OB's office.  She was most likely wrong but I do think about it occasionally now and feel like I at least have to confirm this with the OB ! Lol lol 

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

6) GTKY: You're at a diner on a Sunday morning --- what are you ordering? I'm like some of you in here. I love all the breakfast foods. Eggs, bacon, sausage , French toast , pancakes , grits , biscuits , gravy , corner beef hash , home fires and toast !!!! Yum yum
