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

20 weeks today - halfway WAHOO!! Baby is the size of a banana.

2-How are you feeling?

Ok...tired and achy. 

3-What's going on this week? Any appointments?

ANATOMY SCAN TOMORROW!! ANATOMY SCAN TOMORROW!!! (Can you tell I'm excuted?! LOL) 

4-Rants/Raves/Questions:
I helped host a baby shower for a friend at church and while there were five hostesses only a couple of us took on the major (I hate to say) burden. Example: I offered to "help" and ended up being on charge of ALL the food. Momma-to-be basically demanded queso, so nacho bar it was. And I had to bring all the stuff for that, including buying a thing of queso from a restaurant. It was A LOT. I came home exhausted and when I asked DH to rub my aching feet he gave me crap for volunteering to help. SO ANNOYING. While I did stuff for other people all friggin day, he sat on his ass watching football while DS was at Grandma's. Me volunteering to help a friend had no effect on him other than me asking him to rub my feet. Just rub my damn feet, dude. 

Ok that was like three rants on one!! LOL 

5-(stolen from Friday) Name one trait you hope baby does NOT get from you and one that you hope baby does NOT get from your SO.
From me, I hope LO doesn't get my worrisome nature. I worry about everything from tornadoes to driving on the highway. And from SO, I hope LO doesn't get his slowness.

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

20 weeks today! Banana!

2-How are you feeling?

Good! Loving that I can drink coffee again. 

3-What's going on this week? Any appointments?

Anatomy U/S tomorrow morning!! Can't wait to find out!

4-Rants/Raves/Questions:
it's been a good week. Got some allergy meds and that seems to keep the "cold/allergy" symptoms at bay. Feeling a little better this week. 
5-(stolen from Friday) Name one trait you hope baby does NOT get from you and one that you hope baby does NOT get from your SO.
I hope baby has better organizational skills than I have and I hope baby isn't as forgetful as his father is.

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

23 weeks! According to my various tickers, baby is as big as a grapefruit, Barbie doll, or chinchilla. 

2-How are you feeling?
I feel so much further along than I am, compared to how I felt with my first pregnancy.    Hips are sore, insomnia, stuffy nose at night, and I feel like I'm already waddling.

3-What's going on this week? Any appointments?
No appointments for 2 weeks.

4-Rants/Raves/Questions:
I'm so loving how strong baby girl's kicks and rolls are getting. So reassuring and fun.

5-(stolen from Friday) Name one trait you hope baby does NOT get from you and one that you hope baby does NOT get from your SO.
I hope baby does not get my PCOS/weight struggles/self confidence issues. I feel like those all kinda roll into one. I hope baby doesn't get DH's anxiety.

1-How far along are you? How big is baby? 20 weeks. Babies (I'm having twins) are the size of paper airplanes

2-How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good. Normal aches and pains that go along with mid-pregnancy. I'm having a weird almost dinging or something in my ears when I walk (corresponds with my steps) but that's the only really weird thing.

3-What's going on this week? Any appointments? A/S on Tuesday!!! We won't find out until our gender reveal party on the 12th.

4-Rants/Raves/Questions: None really.

5-(stolen from Friday) Name one trait you hope baby does NOT get from you and one that you hope baby does NOT get from your SO. I hope the babies don't get my health problems (food allergies, skin allergies, allergies in general lol, arthritis, blood sugar issues, etc) and I hope they don't get my husband's sense of procrastination.

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

22 weeks today! Baby is the size of a coconut 

2-How are you feeling?

In general, pretty good! But today, I’m tired. Overdid it this weekend with friends in town, and everyone hanging out at our house last night to watch the UFC fight. Then my son woke up at 6:45 this morning and we took him to the zoo today. l feel like l could take a shower and go to sleep at 6 pm and wake up tomorrow. 

3-What's going on this week? Any appointments?
Yes, just a OB appointment on Friday afternoon. 

4-Rants/Raves/Questions: Nothing l can think of at the moment. 

5-(stolen from Friday) Name one trait you hope baby does NOT get from you and one that you hope baby does NOT get from your SO.
Hmm this is a tough one! l guess sometimes l can procrastinate, so hopefully our baby won’t get that trait. From my husband, l’d say organizational skills.

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

23 weeks, a chinchilla or a (very large?) grapefruit 

2-How are you feeling?

Still getting over being sick, definitely better than I was but the antibiotics are not making my stomach happy. I have a migraine today for the first time in a week, but not as bad as some. Even with my anterior placenta I am feeling more and more movement, which never fails to improve my mood.

3-What's going on this week? Any appointments?

1 hour glucose test on Tuesday, last urine sample showed elevated sugar. I am not really surprised, I have a family history of diabetes and started with an overweight BMI, but if I fail it is going to be a sad thanksgiving for this vegetarian carb lover lol

4-Rants/Raves/Questions:
My husband loves painting rooms and is almost done making the baby’s room seafoam and white and I love it!
5-(stolen from Friday) Name one trait you hope baby does NOT get from you and one that you hope baby does NOT get from your SO.
I just wrote a whole long thing and deleted it. I hope he is a little more coordinated and athletic than me, at least enough to ride a bicycle and not fall on his head. I hope he gets to keep his hair on his head longer than my husband did (about 20 years) just because it stressed him out, not because he doesn’t look great bald. Inside I want him to be just who he is and I basically don’t want him to struggle with the same things we have through life, but struggles shape us and whatever his are will make him who he is.

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

21 weeks - an endive?

2-How are you feeling?

Exhausted. *TW* One of my best friend's dad passed away last week, so I was in the car for 8 hours on Saturday driving out for the funeral and then another 8 hours yesterday on our way home. Just a very sad, exhausting weekend. *End TW*

3-What's going on this week? Any appointments?

Nothing this week

4-Rants/Raves/Questions:
Nothing right now

5-(stolen from Friday) Name one trait you hope baby does NOT get from you and one that you hope baby does NOT get from your SO.
I tend to be a worry wart, so I hope this baby doesn't worry as much as I do. As for my husband, he isn't always the best about cleaning up after himself, so I hope to train this baby well in the clean-up department! haha

stlbuckeye132

Also, has anyone seen @cford08 lately? I hope everything is well!

1-How far along are you? How big is baby? 20 weeks Sunday, size of Banana (I can't relate to baby and being banana sized :S)

5-(stolen from Friday) Name one trait you hope baby does NOT get from you and one that you hope baby does NOT get from your SO. I hope baby is more social than I am, sometimes it bothers me how introverted I am. I also hope baby is more pro-active than my fiance, fiance can be so lazy.

@stlbuckeye132 I was just coming here to tag her and check in on her. Hopefully she just had a busy weekend.

@stlbuckeye132 I was waiting for @cford08 to post this thread since she usually starts us off...hope all is well!!!

fatstagnation

So excited to see everyone's news. I also am hoping @cford08 is well.

1-How far along are you? How big is baby?
Turned 20 weeks on Sunday. A small melon? 

2-How are you feeling?
Feeling pretty good other than the ongoing pelvic pain. Chiropractor is helping with that.

3-What's going on this week? Any appointments?
I have massage therapy and first meeting with doula today. Anatomy scan Thurs. and chiropractor Friday. It's a busy week!

4-Rants/Raves/Questions:
Saturday I was telling DH we need to get moving out stuff out of the room that will be the nursery (it was a shared office for us). I told him it should be empty before the holidays since my mom is having a shower for us while we'll be in town, and then there will be furniture that we'll have to assemble/arrange. He was annoyed and in a tiff we had an hour later her flat out said he didn't like me telling him what to do.  (ahem, this is something we both have to do.) Then Sunday I told him 20 weeks, we're halfway there! You all should have seen his face - happy, but shocked, scared, amazed...LOL all the sudden he's measuring the furniture currently in nursery and the places we plan to move it. I just laughed to myself b/c he finally gets it that I'm not dictating the timeline here. Baby is! 

5-(stolen from Friday) Name one trait you hope baby does NOT get from you and one that you hope baby does NOT get from your SO.
Well, we're both stubborn, so hopefully someone in this family is more flexible! :P
