How many weeks? What size is Baby? 21 weeks, baby is as big as a bottle of Sriracha How are you Feeling? Started getting acid reflux and getting more gassy. Uck. Any appointments this week? Gonna start attending a "Centering Pregnancy" class that will meet once a month until Sept/Oct when we will meet 2x a month. Hopefully it is as informative and helpful as the midwife made it sound. Bonus is it is like an extra appointment to check on the baby and I can meet other Moms in my area due around the same time as me Rants/raves/questions? We got our crib put together this weekend and can't decide on a theme for the nursery. I am trying to be patient till when I know the gender (find out on the 7th) but I'm just so excited I wanna start getting things already.
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended and how old were you? Did you love it or are concerts not your thing? NSYNC was here on 12/31/99. My friend's aunty got her concert tickets for her birthday and asked my parents in advance if I could go with them. We were in the 7th or 8th row and it was amazing even though I was a bigger Backstreet Boys fan. Generally, I love going to concerts but I'm completely happy to get nosebleeder seats because they are so much cheaper. Now days I only go to country concerts and the last one I went to was Luke Bryan.
@kamahina9 Ah! I can't believe it's time to get nurseries together. I feel like it's going by so fast! I've heard great things about the group classes. I hope you get good info and some new friends out of it.
How many weeks? What size is Baby? 21 weeks... baby bok choy
How are you Feeling? Pretty good overall, just super tired.
Any appointments this week? Nope
Rants/raves/questions? Received the all clear from our AS. So that's a relief...Started on Zoloft last week. It takes a couple of weeks to fully kick in apparently, but I think I'm starting to feel some benefits already. I feel less anxious, and I'm sleeping better. I honestly don't regret getting help one bit...I'd do anything at this point to head of another round of PPD.
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended and how old were you? Did you love it or are concerts not your thing? I was 16. It was a Blake Shelton concert for our local fair. It was way before he went big. I loved it, as I was right next to the stage, and have since seen several big names. The only ones I've seen up close were Carrie Underwood, and a couple of rappers my husband loves (lil Wayne was one). I also enjoy the nose bleed sections too though. My last concert was Taylor Swift.
How many weeks? What size is Baby? 19 weeks, baby is the size of a dollar bill today.
How are you Feeling? Feeling pretty good, MS is FINALLY starting to fade by food aversions still exist. Gas is starting back up and I'm consistently pretty tired (not in the same way as first tri though)
Any appointments this week? Nope, not until July 9.
Rants/raves/questions? Had our AS, gender reveal will be this Saturday! They also let me know my placenta is low covering my cervix so FX it moves, I go back in 4 weeks for an additional ultrasound.
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended and how old were you? Did you love it or are concerts not your thing? Reba Mcentire, I was young and had a girls night with my mom, aunt, and girl cousins.
How many weeks? What size is Baby? 20 weeks, banana
How are you Feeling? alright. Lower back/sciatic pain has definitely been worse since I've been trying to be more active, super tired
Any appointments this week? Nope. Not for 4 more weeks
Rants/raves/questions? I posted in randoms, but I felt baby kick/move hard enough that he/she moved my stomach yesterday. Such an amazing feeling. I've been feeling enough movement each day that I haven't been using the doppler.
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended and how old were you? Did you love it or are concerts not your thing? I think there were multiple people we saw. I'm pretty sure Alan Jackson and Garth Brooks were there. I can't remember who else (I was in grade school and we went as a family). Concerts are not my thing (not a huge fan of huge groups, and it's way too loud for me).

I posted an update on the appointments thread Rants/raves/questions? I'm already being managed for pre-E. I'm trying not freak out about it. GTKY: What was the first concert you attended and how old were you? Did you love it or are concerts not your thing? I have no idea how old I was for my first concert, I know I was young between 8 and 10. I think we saw Steven Curtis Chapman. I like concerts ok, but I'm not a huge fan of crowds, so I don't go very often.
How are you Feeling? I have to pee a lot, and my normal hour walk is getting challenging some days, but other than that, I can't complain.
Any appointments this week? Nope. Not yet.
Rants/raves/questions? Super anxious for that A/S!
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended and how old were you? Did you love it or are concerts not your thing? Spice Girls when I was maybe 8? I had a blast. I still love going to concerts, especially after a couple dirty martinis, but it just doesn't happen these days after becoming a mama.
ETA: I used the word "still" multiple times, and it was bothering me.
How many weeks? What size is Baby? 19 weeks, Mango sized How are you Feeling? Okay, sick of STILL having periodic spotting/bleeding when I have bad poops.

How many weeks? What size is Baby? 19 weeks, mango/hedgehog How are you Feeling? So tired. Especially the last few days. I hope it means baby girl is having a growth spurt. Any appointments this week? Just progesterone shot. Rants/raves/questions? I have 2 rants. 1: DH had been doing a lot better as far as making me feel supported and that he finally understood I was having a hard time, then it just crashed and burned. I have been so tired the last few days that I have to sit and rest after doing something (showering, cooking, dishes, etc), so I've stayed at home with DS. I feel bad about this already since I know DS is a very active 4 year old and needs to be out and about and play outside. I can last maybe 10 mins in the back yard with him in this heat. Anyways, I don't even remember what DH said, but I ended up ugly crying last night because it made me feel like such a bad mom and that DH didn't understand AT ALL what I am dealing with. I guess I don't know the words to use to help him understand just how tired I am. 2: I bought a U shaped pregnancy pillow a couple weeks ago and I hate it. I always wake up on my back and it just doesn't fit me right. I had a snoogle with my first pregnancy and loved it. I broke down and ordered one this morning. I feel like I wasted the $45 for the U shaped one =\ GTKY: What was the first concert you attended and how old were you? Did you love it or are concerts not your thing? My first concert was Savage Garden and I was 11. It was amazing. I love concerts, especially when I can drink at them! DH is a music snob, he only listens to heavy metal. There are a few bands that I actually like, so we go to those shows together. They are a lot cheaper than mainstream concerts (bonus). I did manage to get DH to go see Nickelback with me last summer
@middleschoolmommy maybe you can sell the u-shaped one on FB or see if somewhere like Once Upon a Child would buy it? Granted you likely wouldn't recoup the full amount, but you might get something back? Or if that isn't an option would it be a good fort pillow for YS? DSD LOVED making pillow/blanket forts when she was younger, maybe that'd be a good inside activity for a day so you don't have to be out in the sun. I hope YH starts to understand more. It is hard! I can't imagine chasing a 4 year old around right now. Sound exhausting!

Finally back to my computer after spending the last couple days at a family reunion! (I forgot to bring my charging cable for my laptop, oops!) How many weeks? What size is Baby? 20 weeks! Baby is the size of Adipose (I love the little adipose, they are so cute! I have an adipose key chain and an adipose Funko Pop sitting on my desk at work!) How are you Feeling? Tired, super happy to be back in my own bed after traveling for the last 3 days! Any appointments this week? Nope, not til next week (20 week appointment)
Rants/raves/questions? I got to spend some time with my cousin who is 7 months pregnant with her second at the family reunion and it was fun seeing what I have to look forward to in the coming months (though thankfully not with a super energetic 3 year old running around!) I also got to spend some time with my cousin who has an 18 month old and got some great suggestions of things to buy/put on my registry!
GTKY: What was the first concert you attended and how old were you? Did you love it or are concerts not your thing? The first concert I attended was just 2 years ago, when I was 28! I saw Pentatonix! I am going to 3 concerts this summer, Imagine Dragons (saw them last week), Panic! at the Disco (seeing them mid July) and Pentatonix (in September)!
