Still no relief to the coccyx pain. I’ve been pretty sick this week. My daughter has strep so looks like I got that from her.
3. Any appointments coming up?

4. Rants, Raves, Questions?
Rant - I know that I’m big already. I was Big with my daughter too and I’m even bigger this time, but I could do without all the comments about how big I am already. One of the lady’s at DDs school that greets parents at pickup said “you’re still with us!?!? I though you would have had that baby by now.” I still have 16 1/2 weeks till my C section.
5.GTKY: What is your favorite holiday tradition you started?
We celebrate on Christmas Eve with my husbands family. When we get home, DD gets to open a gift which is always Christmas jammies, a new Christmas movie and snacks. DH and I also don Christmas jammies and we have a little movie night before bed time.
Me (33). DH (37). DD (2.2012). MCs x4. After 4 years & 7 months, due 4.2018!
21 weeks, a bok choy or carrot
2. How are you feeling lately?
If I'm busy, I'm fine. But once I slow down it all catches up with me. I feel like I'm taking tylenol all the time for aches and pains. I've been seeing the chiropractor once or twice a week, which has been helping. Also, I need to constantly be eating or I start to feel nauseous. I think it's my body catching up with all the weight I lost due to feeling so sick the first few months.
3. Any appointments coming up?
I have my monthly appointment with the OB on Wednesday.
4. Rants, Raves, Questions?
Remind me, when does the 1 hr glucose happen? 28 weeks? Also, if you're rh negative isn't the rhogam shot around 28 weeks too? I can't remember.
5.GTKY: What is your favorite holiday tradition you started?
We do Christmas Eve at our house. No big dinner, just apps and booze. We don't have a big house so it's usually just my parents and my inlaws. Sad I'll be missing the booze this year.
22 weeks: coconut, ear of corn
2. How are you feeling lately?
Nauseous. Not anywhere near as bad as 1st trimester, but it's still sticking around.
3. Any appointments coming up?
Nope. I had an appointment last week, so my next won't be until after Christmas
4. Rants, Raves, Questions?
Nausea and not being able to sleep at night are my biggest rants right now. I can nap during the day just fine (on weekends), but at night I get really uncomfortable and it's hard to fall asleep.
5.GTKY: What is your favorite holiday tradition you started?
We don't really have any holiday traditions. Since we've been married, we've traveled to visit DH's parents at Christmas. This year I'm looking forward to being home on Christmas day so we can start some traditions before baby gets here
22 weeks; coconut
2. How are you feeling lately?
fine; starting to really feel the stretch in my belly
3. Any appointments coming up?
monthly on Wednesday
4. Rants, Raves, Questions?
finally bought something-the crib; I was starting to feel like a slacker
5.GTKY: What is your favorite holiday tradition you started?
we have not really started our own traditions yet but that’s something I’m looking forward to in the future. We did get our first tree in our first house the day after Thanksgiving so maybe that’ll be a tradition... I’m also hoping to do a Christmas brunch for the family.
@fancybelmont feel you on the drinks; we do a big Christmas Eve with DHs family where drinks are Center stage.
22 weeks. A coconut.
2. How are you feeling lately?
Better, a lot of mucus build up still. Constantly spitting and blowing my nose. Pressure in my pelvic area. Doctor says I need to watch for swelling to make sure I don't develope a hernia... Lovely
3. Any appointments coming up?
Not till the 28th. I'll have my check up appointment and my glucose test.
4. Rants, Raves, Questions?
@Mattel Im in the same boat!! I do pregnancy BIG. This is my 3rd and everyone has always commented on how big my stomach is. I get the 'are you sure there's only 1 in there?', or 'wow not till April!! You got a long ways to go' and most recent 'oh how fun. Are you going to have a Christmas baby?'. Lol. Like I said I've gotten the BIG comments with my 1st 2 pregnancies also but this one is even bigger because it's my 3rd so now I'm just used to it. I find myself starting out with 'this is my 3rd. My belly just gets big with pregnancies' if anyone even starts to ask anything or start up a convo about me being pregnant. Haha
5.GTKY: What is your favorite holiday tradition you started?
My girls and I always decorate large gingerbread sugar cookies for Santa every year. We always see Santa to get pics and of course we do elf of the shelf too with them.
@nessa1632 I can definately feel my stomach stretch i feel like I still don't look pregnant just fat but it is what it is.
2. How are you feeling lately? MS is sneaking back into my life. Also, DD gave me a wicked cold.
3. Any appointments coming up? Today, hoping I get a scan done but we will see.
4. Rants, Raves, Questions? Had one, lost it. Baby brain. I'll come back.
5.GTKY: What is your favorite holiday tradition you started? We haven't really started our own but we are thinking of ditching everyone and next year going on vacay for Thanksgiving. We already do it by ourselves, so why not make the most of hubs time off.
2. How are you feeling lately? Just tired.
3. Any appointments coming up? Appointment tomorrow! Hoping to remember all my questions this time.
4. Rants, Raves, Questions? Finally started decorating for Christmas! Rant - I'm so sick of my hour long commute to work. Can I just not. I don't think I can work up to the end of this pregnancy like last time wahh
5. GTKY: What is your favorite holiday tradition you started? I don't know that we really started any on our own. We always go to the same Christmas tree farm to pick a tree and we've been taking pictures of DS at this height sign since we started going!
@sunshine27shy How do you do 12 days of Christmas with the nativity?
@mattel People are so obnoxious. I get lots of 'oh you're pregnant?' and not believing how far along I am because my belly doesn't get really big. And then I seem to have these monster size babies haha so people asked where DS was hiding. Also I like your tradition! We might have to steal that one.
@fancybelmont I believe it's 26-28 for the glucose test. Not sure about rh negative.
22 weeks- corn on the cob.
2. How are you feeling lately?
Also seeing nausea sneak back into everyday life. Luckily only in the evenings, but still wish it would have stayed away.
3. Any appointments coming up?
Not until the 20th.
4. Rants, Raves, Questions?
How can people just sit and watch while someone else is running around like crazy trying to get things done? Both my brother (who is temporarily living with us) and husband enjoyed lots of time on the couch this weekend while I was scrambling to get the house back in order. Maybe they were just too absorbed in whatever to notice, but I just don't see how I could do that...
5.GTKY: What is your favorite holiday tradition you started?
We add a few of Anthony Herrera's snowflakes to our collection every year (www.anthonyherreradesigns.com). My husband isn't the biggest on all the decorating, but he loves the geekiness of the snow flakes making it the perfect family activity for us...
@structuralmama I love this snowflake collection idea. my husband woyld love this
22w +2d- coconut, ear of corn
2. How are you feeling lately?
my biggest complaint is my tailbone pain. It hurts to walk for no reason sometimes.
3. Any appointments coming up?
24 week check next week
4. Rants, Raves, Questions?
weight gain. sigh. I worked hard over the last 4.5 years to lose my preg weight and keep it off...but it seems to have really just hit me this time. I struggled over the weekend mentally. I'm trying to keep my head up and keep going, its not like i'm eating cake and ice cream everyday.
5.GTKY: What is your favorite holiday tradition you started?
gingerbread house contest with all our friends.
@peppersmith22 I hear ya with the commute. I think my morning averages 1.5 hours and afternoon is just over 1. Its exhausting and i've already told SO that I think going into labor running to my afternoon train is a real possibility
@fancybelmont I think glucose is 26-28 depending on the doctor
Me (33). DH (37). DD (2.2012). MCs x4. After 4 years & 7 months, due 4.2018!
20+3, he's the size of an axolotl (weirdest animal on the ovia app to date)
2. How are you feeling lately?
Better! Though now I'm at the stage where I'm really hungry, but I can only handle small meals/snacks, otherwise I risk a stomach ache.
3. Any appointments coming up?
No, but I had my a/s last week! Found out we'rehaving a boy!
4. Rants, Raves, Questions?
Not really a rant, more of an eye-roll moment... one of the midwives at my birth center warned me on the dangers of consuming soy now that I know the baby is a boy. All that estrogen might give him boobs! I calmly explained to her that I've read numerous peer reviewed studies on the effects of soy when I decided to go vegan, and that I'm not concerned at all. I then changed the subject before things got any more awkward.
5.GTKY: What is your favorite holiday tradition you started?
This year, my daughter and I will be baking cookies for Santa and leaving them out on christmas eve, along with carrots for his reindeer. I'm looking forward to my midnight treat. Maybe I'll wash it all down with a huge glass of soy milk.
My mom is anti soy as well as a vegan. I can't remember her reasoning but basically its a no.
