Re: FTM Check-in -- 8/1
22 weeks!
Questions, Rants, Raves?
We're having tacos for dinner and I went to the store to get everything. Didn't buy sour cream because I knew we had a recently opened whole container in the fridge. Dinner is almost ready and I just popped open the sour cream AND IT'S MOLDY! H the hero went to the store down the road to buy more
GTKY: What were your favorite things to do as a kid?
Go to the library. Definitely walk around in the woods. If there was a stream or a pond I was in heaven. Guess who grew up to be a stream and wetland scientist?!
@hkom I alllllways forget sour cream. It's not a must have for me, but it is for h and it always gets overlooked on my list. I do something like that every week, it feels like.
How far along are you?
Questions, Rants, Raves?
I feel like all I'm talking about is my house buying/selling, but our sellers agreed to everything we asked for after the inspection! Now on the to mortgage portion of our show...
GTKY: What were your favorite things to do as a kid?
Read, read, read. Also played hide and seek with the kids on my street, there were a ton of us. I wasn't big into the outdoors until high school/college.
How far along are you?
21 weeks today
Probably camping! We had an annual camping trip that everybody loved. I loved the week of mind wanderings, gathering flowers, foraging raspberries, and watching bats circle the evening firepit. I was usually the only child on the trip, and I always enjoyed being treated like an adult (although I wasn't allowed beer). Ah, memories.

@morgantu I feel like my pregnancy has been pretty easy so far too. We are blessed! Glad your sellers agreed to everything with the inspection. Still worried about how ours will go next week! Good luck getting yours ready for sale.
@kadeephd don't feel guilty about being lazy or tired. Things pregnancy business is a lot of work. Your childhood preferences sound a lot like mine. Outdoors was the best place to be.
@hkom I hope your pelvic pain eases. Glad today was a good day. I hate when food I feel like I just bought gets moldy. Happened to me just yesterday with mozzarella! And YES to the woods, outdoors, streams, etc. How cool you found your way to becoming a stream and wetland scientist!
19+2.... getting there!
I'm with all you ladies. So many similar experiences. Huge family camping trips where we'd rent out 7 sites for a week were definitely a fave. I loved playing outside exploring the woods, climbing trees, making mudpies, digging my own fish pond, etc. Making fairy and elf houses were one of my most favorite daily activities. Making believe I was a Native American was another (complete with building a teepee, making my own hand-scraped stick as a spear, and grinding my own acorn flour). Summers were spent either in the air conditioned library reading or at the community pool. We'd get there at 12 when it opened and stay till closing at 8, usually ordering pizza for dinner. I was a mermaid for 8 hours a day almost every day of summer and I loved it!

How are you feeling?
Pretty good overall. I'd say I've had an easy pregnancy so far. My sacrum really hurt yesterday so I need to do something about that.
Questions/Rants/Raves/Dear Diary?
Right now, I'm just wondering if these precious little punches (yup...punches, not kicks) are going to start being painful as he gets stronger. I love them at the moment, but I always see women further along wince in pain. I hope I don't start disliking the movements.
GTKY: What were your favorite things to do as a kid?
I really enjoyed made up games. With one friend, we always pretended we were trying to prepare for a long, cold winter in her treehouse. We'd collect berries and mud to get us through the winter lol. I liked to play spies with another friend. I loved Barbies too.
@binxybaby I'm jealous of your punches! I want some definitive baby movement already! I'm tired of playing the "is it baby or gas?" game.

Not to bad really today was a down day I just did not want to do anything have a full on week next week so hoping it passes
Questions, Rants, Raves?
Question anyone else's baby just did not want to move during the AS?? I have to go back next week to try and get some more shots and one of them is the profile my friend went for hers yesterday and was all fine baby was moving heaps all mine did was stretch!! I'm trying not to work myself up over it I over think things alot haha
Rave hubby has finally clicked into omg my wife is pregnant mode and had just been so lovely and helpful hope this lasts haha
GTKY: What were your favorite things to do as a kid? Playing make believe outside we were fortunate enough to live right my grandparent farm which had this hill with a big tree that you could climb and see the whole town with and not far from them was a little forest area my brothers and I used to play alot of Lord of the rings out there good times I miss things like that
@hkom Sorry about the sour cream. If you were close I would have given you some. I bought some this week, thinking we were out and found an entirely unopened one at home! So now I've got one that expires 8/8 that I'm trying to get through and another unopened one that expires 8/16!
@echo-charlietango Sorry you aren't feeling baby move yet - you will soon! I'm sure it was reassuring to see him moving around at the a/s.
20 weeks today!
Pretty good. I slept terribly at the beginning of the week (a 4-hour night and a 6-hour night), so after two nights of 8 hours of sleep, I'm feeling more human again.
Questions, Rants, Raves?
Rave: The day after my a/s I got past the point of "is that baby or is that gas?" And now I've been feeling her all the time! I do second @binxybaby though, wondering how long the fun phase of this will last vs. when/if it'll start hurting... My husband is really anxious that he can't feel it from the outside yet and I keep telling him it'll be another 3-4 weeks at least. :-p
GTKY: What were your favorite things to do as a kid?
I loved playing outside in the summers. We'd roam the street and alleys for hours playing tag, running on gravel barefoot (lol), climbing trees, and playing cops and robbers. It makes me sad that our kids won't ever get to do that because of the fear around letting your kids run around outside unsupervised these days. I also LOVED to read. We had to institute "talking nights" a couple times a week where books weren't allowed at the dinner table since my sister and I just wanted to read.
Questions, Rants, Raves?
I got very mad at my DH yesterday because I kept asking him not to touch something (the sunglass holder in my car is broken, so we were trying to see if it's easy to take out and replace), but as usual he didn't listen and broke it even more! That's typical.. I was so upset, and even more upset that I couldn't express how upset I was.. And this morning I got up and he did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen for me after I went to bed
GTKY: What were your favorite things to do as a kid?
Splashing in puddles! Or walking around in bare feet in puddles!
We didn't go camping, per say, but sometimes we would go to the forest for the day, have some food by the fire, etc. But picking berries and mushrooms was definitely a highlight!
