Any appointments? Questions?: Um I thought I had an OB appointment today, went all the way there to find out it's next Monday 😂
Rants/Raves?: I'm in so much pain from moving and baby is not being nearly as active as he had been, I hate it. The movements I have been feeling are much more discernable, though, so that's nice.
How are you feeling?: tired. My back is aching and every time I stand, I get a terrible headache. But otherwise okay. Putting up my tree today, hopefully. I'm determined!
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? Do you still have a copy?The babysitter's club series. I don't have any copies and I can't remember any of the younger books I read. As a mom, though, my favorite book to read to DS is "I love you stinky face."
Due date/W+D: 5/12, 18+2
Baby is the size of a(n): artichoke?
Any appointments? Questions?: Regular OB appointment tomorrow, anatomy scan next week Thursday! This pregnancy is really rolling by quickly.
Rants/Raves?: I got DH to do the smallest bit of work on the closets we need to clean out. He put some of his things (childhood keepsakes his parents have been dumping on us for years) in storage tubs, wrapped them with plastic wrap and put them up in the garage. Woo hoo! Also we're definitely buying a minivan this month and I'm so excited.
How are you feeling?: I don't want to jinx anything but I've been feeling incrementally better. Still taking diclegis every morning and unisom+B6 at night. Also usually getting a bit nauseous at night and still having pretty severe food aversions at the end of the day. But it's still way better than it was 10 weeks ago!
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? Do you still have a copy? My mom has tons and tons of my books from when I was little. I don't think I have a particular favorite, but there was one called "The Stowaway Fairy goes to Hawaii" and it was written and illustrated by an artist from Hawaii. It's no longer in print, and it's just a beautiful book. I'm thinking about trying to make prints from it at Kinko's to decorate DD's toddler room with.Due date/W+D: 5/11 18 weeks 2 days
Baby is the size of a(n): artichoke
Any appointments? Questions?: next appointment is Monday 17th. Wish I could have scheduled one this week but I didn’t want to take time off.
Rants/Raves?: rant: i have 4 gifts to get: my TA, dhs parents and my mom. They are all impossible! Dhs parents need nothing, my TA is really picky and my mom doesn’t have space for anything. Also I hate giving gift cards.
How are you feeling?: i feel like I exploded over the last 2 weeks. I have gained about 5 lbs in 2 weeks and my belly and boobs are huge. I definitely look pregnant (so much so that my first graders started to notice and one of them asked me today). their faces were priceless when the news got around the class about the baby. Although the one of them told me I was too old to have a baby, so that kind of ruined the moment. Lol.
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? Do you still have a copy?monster at the end of this book is a good one, I love Mortimer by Robert munch and corduroy. We have enough kids books to fill a library and they are definitely on our shelves.

Baby is the size of a(n): Nintendo controller - my HS students asked how big baby was today, and they were super confused about this one!
Any appointments? Questions?: This Friday with the midwife and anatomy scan Christmas Eve! Sooooo excited!
Rants?: Spending way too much time at the DMV lately - enough said.
Raves?: I think I MIGHT be starting to feel baby! It’s so hard to tell, but I think s/he likes Swedish fish... a lot.
How are you feeling?: Great! Getting back into the gym routine, which is nice. And finally over that cough (fingers crossed I don’t jynx myself).
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood book? Do you still have a copy? @eatinwatermelonseeds I used to love babysitters club, too! I don’t remember a lot of my childhood books, but I do remember my parents got us a Grandfather Time machine, and my brother and I used to listen to bedtime stories on cassette tapes before bed. I guess my parents weren’t super into reading to us... haha. Definitely changing that tradition!Due date/W+D: May 14/ 18+1

Rants/Raves?: I found out today that I have an anterior placenta which is why I don't feel movements as much or as consistently as I did with my other two boys.

@eatinwatermelonseeds I still look like I have a beer keg/chipotle baby 😂😞
@heathergirl89 you sound like me! I went to the ER Thursday with a fast HR (120, that rose to 150) and one-sided jaw pain (common symptom for women having a heart attack). They did an EKG and it was normal and my heart rate came down after an hour and they gave me meds. I am seeing a cardiologist this week and my OB for A/S and appt next week. I hope you get some answers and are feeling better soon!
