How far along are you? How big is baby?  23 weeks - babies are the size of grapefruits (how were they coconuts last week and grapefruits this week? Seems odd. 

Appointments this week?  I have my 24 week appointment next Tuesday. I did go to the dentist on Monday. That was kind of awful because laying on my back is not wonderful. 

Symptoms?  I feel like my ribs are all broken and I can't breathe. 

Rant/Rave/Questions? Rant: We're supposed to go to the state fair tomorrow. Today I can barely move and am in so much pain. I'm going to be so sad if I don't feel better tomorrow.

GTKY: Besides your existing job, what job do you think you'd be really good at? I think I would be a really good daycare teacher (like 3 year olds) - I think that age group is so neat and fun. I also think I would be a good doctor - I find science fascinating and am great looking at things from many different angles.

How far along are you? How big is baby?  

26 weeks - kale 

Appointments this week?  

Nope 

Symptoms?  

Hip pain has gotten worse, especially at night and right after I wake up. Also starting to lose that second trimester energy and have gone right back to first trimester levels of exhaustion. On a good note, I have been making an effort to eat healthier and have noticed less acid reflux so that’s good. 

Rant/Rave/Questions? 

It’s August! People were talking about fall today and I’m over here like I can’t wait! 

GTKY: Besides your existing job, what job do you think you'd be really good at? 
I have always wanted to be a librarian. I love to read and I love the library and I told my husband when he dies I am definitely going to get a job at one and run book club and story time.

How far along are you? How big is baby?  25 weeks! Baby is the size of a Napa Cabbage

Appointments this week?  I just returned from my 1 hour Glucose test. My doctor said I didn’t have to fast for it but when I told the lady at the lab that I ate she looked at me and said “oh well I wouldn’t have”. So I’m hoping my test doesn’t show elevated levels!  My next one isn’t until the end of August.

Symptoms?  Some hip pain and just overall tiredness. It’s my first pregnancy and it’s been pretty easy. 

Rant/Rave/Questions? I’ve  never done one of these ticker changes (usually just read them but I need to vent) but today I’ve been really down because my husband was deployed last week which sucks! He may not be home for the baby’s birth in November. I know he’s bummed and hates that he has to miss out on everything but I’m starting to get stressed out because I have to get everything put together and set up! Not to mention I start school on the 27th. 

GTKY: Besides your existing job, what job do you think you'd be really good at? 
Im currently not working because I’m about to go back to school for Nursing!

@cpow18 May I ask what you ate? During my first pregnancy, my doctor encouraged me to eat some protein (eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese) for breakfast at least an hour beforehand. This time, the nurse suggested I fast, but said protein was ok if I needed it. I needed it! I had two scrambled eggs and 2 slices of bacon about 2h before my test. My doctor was like "of course that's fine!" Anyway I passed the 1-h just fine.

@firsttimespartanmom Boooo fall! I love summer, i wish it would be summer forever. Maybe I should just move to Florida

@kellyt22 Oh no! Out of breath already! I guess it's double the trouble with twins...

How far along are you? How big is baby?  27! Fennec fox, romaine lettuce, bottle of sriracha

Appointments this week?  nope, but I start every other week now!

Symptoms?  sooooooo tired

Rant/Rave/Questions? Having DD in VBS this week has been amazing. I'm so sad that it won't be going on next week.

GTKY: Besides your existing job, what job do you think you'd be really good at? I used to be a teacher, and I liked that a lot. Maybe a writer? If I could be disciplined enough. Or a copy editor.

@lifesabeach85 I had a bowl of special K protein cereal like an hour or a bit more before I took the test.
