How far along are you? When is your due date? What size is baby? 19 weeks 1 day, due 5/22 and she's as big as a mango I think. 

What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? 
I think I'm finally starting to show, I am able to wfh the rest of this week and next and then the following week I am off for a week for vacation! So I won't see my co-workers in basically 3 weeks. 

Any upcoming appointments?
AS on 1/3. 

GTKY: What was the best book or series that you’ve ever read?  That's a tough one, I'm not a huge reader but have always tried to make resolutions to read more because I find when I do I enjoy it.  The last series I read were the hunger games and the 50 shades series lol. I am kind of reading a series on my Kindle right now with the main character Caroline auden (I don't recall the name of the books) She's a lawyer who's helping solve crimes and ends up getting the bad guys after her. I'm on book #2. I guess I don't have a specific genre I like more than the other if someone has a recommendation I usually will go for it.

@suchaglencoco thanks for posting! I thought about it yesterday but was too lazy 

suchaglencoco

@bwow615, no worries. I was going to do it yesterday too, but we had a lot of drama and tantrums happening with being back on a schedule and fighting over new toys.
Your coworkers are going to make so many weird comments when they see in you in few weeks!

How far along are you? When is your due date? What size is baby?

19w3d, so weird to almost be halfway already! DH and I talked about this last night, it all seems to be going so fast and we are not as prepared as before.

What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? 
Things are going alright. DH and I felt outside movements for the first time this weekend! I think we could have felt them earlier, but were not paying attention to it this time. 2nd pregnancy/3rd child syndrome??
We all seemed to have recovered from the stomach bug from last week alright. We celebrated with DH's father and siblings on Sunday. Found out that his dad and one niece have got the bug. I know it's not from us as it had been over 4 days since any of use were sick so now we're worried about getting it again. Plus we have to see his sisters and their families again Friday for his mom's Christmas. I plan to tell DH today that we may or may not go if people are still throwing up tomorrow. It's not worth the risk.

Any upcoming appointments?
My a/s isn't until the 10th. The ob that set it up likes you to be over 21 weeks for some reason. 
My kids on the other hand have like 3 separate and long appts in the next 3 weeks. I'm already dreading them all.

GTKY: What was the best book or series that you’ve ever read?
Honestly, the Hunger Games series as lame as that sounds for a woman over 30!! I just fell in love with the series and actually watched the first 2 movies when I was in bed with the stomach bug last week. And last night I had a bad tension headache so I went to bed to relax and watched the 3rd movie. We also have a quote from Mockingjay in our room along with our loss dates to remind me to stay strong.

@suchaglencocoi kinda feel the same with this pregnancy with it being #2 I am not as keen on everything that is happening and kinda just going with the flow.  I'm glad you are all recovered from that stomach bug and I would probably do the same as you regarding your MIL's xmas on Friday.  Not worth it to go through all that again.  

suchaglencoco

@bwow615, yeah he agreed. So we're going to ask for daily updates today, tomorrow, and Friday. 
Excessive?  Yup, but I don't care.

18 + 4, May 26, baby is size of a pear!

What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? 

Just recovering from the holidays and four days at home. Tired, hungry, so basically just feeling pregnant. Felt a few good kicks/punches, especially when I yawn!

Any upcoming appointments?

Tomorrow is the a/s appointment and we're bringing DD with us... so we'll see how that goes (she's 13 mos). Then Friday for a regular check in with the OB.

GTKY: What was the best book or series that you’ve ever read?

One of my hands down favorites was the Discovery of Witches trilogy. They are all three awesome books. Now I want to re-read them again...

18+4 due the 26th.  I think baby is a sweet potato now 

What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? 

I'm starting to get uncomfortable if I sit for too long.  My tail bone and pelvic bones hurt if I'm sitting on anything hard.  This was my biggest complaint last pregnancy too and I'm not happy it's back. 

Any upcoming appointments?

A/S on the 4th!

GTKY: What was the best book or series that you’ve ever read?
I really don't like reading actually and I hate that about myself.  But I did really like the Hunnger Games series. 

suchaglencoco

@fraufarbissina, have you started inching up in your seat and like, spreading your legs open more yet? That sounds really bad but I don't know how else to say it!
I realized I started doing I already this weekend. I was uncomfortable sitting back in the chair like a normal person and I scooted up to kind of give my belly more room to droop.

fraufarbissina

@suchaglencoco no but I will try that!! I didn't even consider that belly room could be the problem.
