Any appointments? Questions?: AS on Thursday & regular OB on Friday

Rants/Raves?: Finally got some sleep last night thanks to my new pregnancy bobby pillow. 

How are you feeling?: Feeling good. Excited for our AS this week. Finally, starting to "pop" so it's getting real. 

GTKY: How did you choose your Bump screen name? Is there a meaning behind it? I believe was an old screen name ages ago. I probably tried a few and it's the one that was available lol

Due date: 3/26

Any appointments? Questions?: MFM appt for cervical length  check plus anatomy scan next week  

Rants/Raves?: My tolerance for people just seems to be decreasing the farther along I get. I feel so irritable. Or maybe people are getting dumber? Let's go with that!

How are you feeling?: Okay. Hip pain at night, but good overall!

GTKY: How did you choose your Bump screen name? Is there a meaning behind it?

No special meaning, I have it from a million years ago on The Knot 

HoneyBear40

Due date: 3/29

Any appointments? Questions?: Big 20w AS next Friday Question: anyone else in the "how are we 20w/how are we only 20w club"?

Rants/Raves?: Rant - I am beyond tired of political ads - TV, social media, phone, radio, mail...ugh. The only good thing about getting them in the mail is it's perfect to use to start our wood furnace.

How are you feeling?: I've had more headaches than I remember last time but otherwise just pregnant. Feeling pretty good and getting bigger

GTKY: How did you choose your Bump screen name? Is there a meaning behind it? Started as a joke when I signed up for The Knot and it carried over. Friends of ours call each other "Pumpkin"ALL. THE. TIME. I jokingly started calling DH "honeybear" and it has kind of stuck back and forth but not as bad as the pumpkins. 40 cause that's my favorite number.

diaphena

Due date: 3/26

Any appointments? Questions?: Had my AS this morning and everything went great! We're having a little boy!!

Rants/Raves?: Knowing this munchkin is a boy somehow makes everything feel so much more real. Now I feel like I have way too much to get done before he gets here!

How are you feeling?: Pretty good! No major complaints, just some minor hip and back pains now and then.

GTKY: How did you choose your Bump screen name? Is there a meaning behind it?  It's a reference to a Parks and Rec episode called Jerry's Painting. Highly recommend it if you haven't seen it! Diaphena is the name of the (fake) Greek goddess in the ep.

@HoneyBear40 100% with you on the political ads and wondering how we could possibly already be this far along.

@litzi-2 Enjoy your time off!

mamakeeg

Ohhh I love this one! 

Due date: March 25th

Any appointments? Questions?: had my AS last week and all is well! Still a little boy

Rants/Raves?: I got fired from my job yesterday. He got me on a technicality I can’t fight, 90 day review and lied and said I wasn’t doing well in the job. He’s just mad I’m pregnant and had restrictions on training. Oh well, I hated it there. I will be a lot less stressed in my personal life now. (Although I’m feeling slightly ego-bruised, like i got broken up with lol)

How are you feeling?: mostly good! Headaches have been better. I have terrible vertigo but now I don’t have to work so that should help. No motivation to workout but that’s not new lol. Bloody noses, pregnancy rhinitis, and some sciatica pain but really it’s been a lot better lately! 

GTKY: How did you choose your Bump screen name? Is there a meaning behind it? 

Well I’m a mama and my nickname is keegs!

For those due March 24-31 (and a few early April ladies too!) 

Due date: 24th

Any appointments? Questions?: Not until Nov 20.

Rants/Raves?: Got my flu shot this AM! Glad to get that out of the way, but now my arm hurts. I'm also with y'all - @HoneyBear40 & @diaphena - these political ads have got to go. We watched some football games this weekend at our friends' house who have YouTube TV rather than regular. They had no political ads! I told them how lucky they were, haha.

How are you feeling?: Good. Tired, but good. So happy I can feel little man wiggling around more often.

GTKY: How did you choose your Bump screen name? Is there a meaning behind it? It's parts of my name - Ka - first, Pow - maiden, Fal - last.

Due date: 3/27

Any appointments? Questions?: next week for the AS  Hubby is off work this week so I’m going to try to call and see if anyone cx and they can squeeze us in

Rants/Raves?: As stated above my hubby is off work this week after working crazy hours for 40 days and only seeing the kids once a week...so we are all very happy!!! 

How are you feeling?: Good! I finally feel like I’ve hit the happy pregnancy phase

GTKY: How did you choose your Bump screen name? Is there a meaning behind it?

Just a bit of my name 

catlady2015

@mamakeeg - I’m so sorry! What an ass your ex-boss is. I got laid off in July (but before company knew I was pregnant). Feel free to vent my way anytime. Are you planning to look for something new right away? 

sejica

Due date: 3/25 ish

Any appointments? Questions?: AS tues 11/6

Rants/Raves?: Rave: got this LO carpet installed Tuesday, so I'm excited to be down to the 'little stuff' here at the new house. Rant: I've been battling a cold for like 5 days, so I didn't have the energy to go do any Halloween fun stuff. Also, it just sucked any motivation I might have had available as a nearly 20 w/o pregnant woman who is desperately trying to sort her possessions between 2 houses.

How are you feeling?: oh man, I'm all over the place these days. I feel like I could write a whole novel here and it still only be the tip of the iceberg. I seriously don't even know where to begin, so I'll just say that if you're experiencing it, you have company

GTKY: How did you choose your Bump screen name? Is there a meaning behind it? It's just an anagram of my first name, omitting any duplicate letters, and I've used it since AIM so I didn't have to add any numbers to get an unused avatar.

magr8r

Due date: March 27

Any appointments? Questions?: AS in 2 weeks, I can hardly stand the wait any longer! First chiro adjustment today praying I get some relief! 

Rants/Raves?: Are we transitioning to a Facebook page soon? I saw that it was mentioned early on, I for some reason find forums confusing and hard to use. It's probably just me tho 😂

How are you feeling?: My hips and pelvis are pretty painful in the last couple weeks, hoping going to the chiro will help. Other than that I'm feeling pretty good, I love my cute little bump! 

GTKY: How did you choose your Bump screen name? Is there a meaning behind it?  It's an old nickname! 

kristimh80

@sejica Hope you start to feeling better soon! With the weather changes, I've upped my Vitamin C and added in Elderberry here and there when needed. Good luck with the rest of your decorating! I had anxiety this week over mine. I have to remind myself nothing in perfect lol

babya422

Due date: 29

Any appointments?  Questions? Had my anatomy scan on Monday! The tech wouldn’t comment on anything, so I’m waiting to hear from the doctor, but baby looked great to me! 

Rants/Raves?: 

Only that the tech at the AS was not the best..they give two pictures, and she printed the same pic twice! I’d like a little variety. She was also not happy with my baby, who kept moving around. I on the other hand was very happy I got to see her moving around in there and would have loved the tech to give us a few minutes at the end to just watch her instead of, ok, all done. 

How are you feeling?: A Little indigestion has started, so I’m closing watching what I eat to see if I avoiding certain foods helps. 

GTKY: How did you choose your Bump screen name? Is there a meaning behind it? Shortened first, middle, and last names!
