@alaluap I wish I had advice for you with your dog, but my old guys is exactly the same way, especially when its raining.. he just will not go outside.
@gumby22c have fun at the pool! I'm also exhausted all the time, I feel like I already have no energy for today and its not even 11 here.
@BNBT hope the first day back to work isn't tooooo bad!
@kopp5988 Happy viability day! I'm counting down to third tri now over here. I originally wanted a glider but I ended up with a rocking chair so that was much cheaper. Honestly I barely nursed down there in the nursery at all, others may have but for me I mainly nursed upstairs in the living room or in my bedroom. We used the rocker for stories, soothing etc but DS preferred bounce and walk. I don't find the rocker uncomfortable, and it has cushions, but if you're planning on using the chair more often you might find it less comfortable than a glider. We just got a rocker from cracker barrel, lol.
Baby is the size of a(n): Eggplant
GTKY: What’s your favorite music genre? Broadway...that is totally a genre right?
@kopp5988 - I got a rocking chair for cheap at a tag sale and then splurged on some super comfortable cushions that cover the whole thing. It is so comfortable and while I don't typically nurse there during the first 6 months. Once baby moves to the crib that is my primary nursing spot through 18 months for the late night wake ups. In fact, I just (she is almost 2) removed it from my daughter's room last week because she has stopped waking up at night and she uses it as a toy rather than our comfort spot.
@kopp5988 I found our chair on Wayfair for around $300. It’s upholstered and is a swivel glider which I love. We still use it to rock my almost 3yo son to sleep for naps and to read in at nighttime, so we’ve definitely gotten a lot of use out of it. My only gripe is that the back is not high enough to rest my head on which was annoying when he was still nursing, so keep that in mind! I hope to get another similar chair for this baby, since he’ll be using this one still.

Team pink! Emersyn Mae!
Appointments: 7/11 OB, 7/18 second anatomy scan
Feeling: Pretty sure I’ve been having BH contractions so I’m not having a fun time.
Rant/rave: Husband was being stingy about letting me use the Amazon card to get our Halo bassinet, but my rave is that I still got it with a Prime Day deal! Yay!
Questions: Whyyyyyyyyy are BH so stupid and uncomfortable??? Waaaaahhhh!!!!
GTKY: Favorite music: Rock. I never change the channel from The Spectrum on Sirius.
Baby is the size of a(n): Grapefruit...mmm... that sounds yummy
GTKY: What’s your favorite music genre? 2000s r&b and hip-hop
@kopp5988 congrats on viability milestone!! I can't believe how fast everything is going!! I was also shocked at how expensive the chairs were. I sat in a few at Buy Buy Baby and realized super quickly that I'd want a glider...personal preference. But the one that I liked was $500 - um no thanks.
@rogro118 - I'm sweating just thinking about doing that walk in the heat...in heels...while waddling lol

Checkup on the 30th.
I had some really bad back pain yesterday. Oh my GOD I have never felt pain like that. But it went away when I drank a bunch of water so we're thinking it was dehydration. Other than that, doing alright. Getting to the point where sleep is getting hard.
We're halfway through July, when did that happen?!
Baby registry must haves?
I'm all over the place. Really like 90s hip hop and country, veen listening to a lot of the emo type pop punk stuff from when I was in high school. It all just depends on my mood.

Well I am now on hospital bedrest, so I suppose I have constant appointments! We checked in Sunday afternoon so have made it through the 1st 24 hours.
It is very very hard to be in hospital. Oddly, I'm actually less focused on baby here than I was at home, so I hope once I settle in that changes. I've been on a mag sulfate IV drip which has made me nauseous, groggy, hot so its been a rough 1st day. I'm hoping either we can taper this off a bit if baby does OK, or they tell me I will become acclimated. Its also very hard to be hooked up to the IV all the time - makes hospital more difficult than I thought.
No more rants -- trying to stay positive!
Love all the glider responses! I'd like to finish my registry while I'm here this week - and the glider is one of the things we're trying to figure out what we want
I'm all over the place as well. I did start putting together a playlist for myself and to play for baby while I'm here. I was just thinking how eclectic it was. I have songs like Can't Help Falling In Love, some Johnny Cash, Indian music, Bruno Mars, Shallow. And DH and I have started playing Billy Joel's Lullaby to the bump every night. Its been really sweet. Any song recommendations for my playlist? TIA!
@kopp5988 I got a glider from Target online that I absolutely love. DD was outgrowing the chair in her room so I ordered it and put it together and love it. And the back comes up far enough that I can rest my head. Super easy to put together as well! PS it's cheaper now than it was when I ordered it, sad! https://www.target.com/p/stork-craft-tuscany-white-glider-and-ottoman---slate-gray-swirl/-/A-21485473
Baby is the size of a(n): Grapefruit? These sizes make no sense to me.
GTKY: What’s your favorite music genre? Honestly, I don't really have one. It just depends on my mood. I like hiphop, country, rock, and some emo/punk stuff. Fall Out Boy was, is, and always will be my jam. But Post Malone and George Strait make me happy, too! Makes for an interesting Thumbprint station on Pandora.

Blue!
25th for level 2 U/S at MFM in Seattle
29th for regular OB checkup
Tired. I usually try squeezing in a nap between 2-3 in the afternoon.
Grumpy. I’ve noticed I’ve been short tempered recently. Trying to rein that in.
Starving. Seriously eating all the time! I’ve been trying hard to eat good things but don’t always succeed.
Hip hop hooray for viability week! ❤️
I’m proud of myself that I haven’t gained any weight yet. I’ve really been trying to fuel my body with good foods and not junk. Been trying to eat as low-carb as possible. (I’m overweight by quite a bit so my doctor told me it was fine not to gain.)
None
GTKY: What’s your favorite music genre?
I’m the worship leader at my church so I mostly listen to Christian Worship, finding new songs to learn and such
FTM/STM/TTM+: ftm Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: it’s a girl!
Upcoming Appointments: Glucose 8/9
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Pretty good! Despite having a very sedentary (have barely exercised... maybe twice) last 6 weeks due to travel- looking forward to getting back to normal schedule. I gained a lot of weight during this month- about 10 lbs - from eating regularly but not working out. That has been pretty hard on me emotionally. Only one more long trip for this hectic summer (next week) then I’m done traveling for the rest of the pregnancy.
Rants/Raves: I have GOT to stop spending money HOLY CRAP. Last week was the Bloomingdales sale so I picked up my stroller and car seat system but that ignited me into a binge unlike anything I’ve ever done before. Prime day was just the cherry on top yesterday and today. Downside to all the shopping (besides spending more than I make in a month)-I am obviously officially in baby mode and I hate the house and every room in it, so going through a major reorganization/room planning bug.
Questions: None
GTKY: What’s your favorite music genre?
showtunes. I love Sirius broadway channel.
@kopp5988 lots of people recommended the pottery barn comfort glider/recliner to me and I went with it. It’s slightly more than the target/wayfair price point but we got one in a natural color which will replace the crappy (not lying) lime green velvet chair in our bedroom once its nursery tenure is up. So we spent a smidge more but it will go a long way.

How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): I’ve had a cold I just can’t shake. Appetite has returned to normal, no weird cravings.

GTKY: What’s your favorite music genre? I have very eclectic musical tastes. I pretty much like it all. I’m really feeling Billy Eilish right now.
Baby is the size of a(n): grapefruit
GTKY: What’s your favorite music genre?
I love all different kinds, so I don't know if I can name one genre. I listen to a lot of (newer) country, hard rock, alternative, some pop. I am all over the place!
Congrats to all that have made it to 24 weeks! October did a viability celebration thread and I like that idea, might start one here!
Whew, I've had quite the week. My mom went to the hospital last Friday night and while the acute issue is better, tests revealed some possibly more serious stuff so she's got some follow up tests scheduled 7/30. Just a lot of phone calls and running interference between family this week and man, I'm tired.
Baby is the size of a(n): cantaloupe! So big!
GTKY: What’s your favorite music genre? I love music and love living in Nashville (Music City)! I'm a big indie music fan and I love 90s grunge from my high school days but if I had to pick a favorite genre I would say Americana/alt-country. Things like Wilco, The Head and the Heart, Jason Isbell, etc.
And not gonna lie... mine is already an outtie now when I've eaten a lot of food. I hate it. It kinda disappears again if I haven't eaten in awhile or if I'm sitting down.
Baby is the size of a(n): Coconut
Mosstly tired but that’s because of the lack of sleep. I crave pickles. I ate a whole jar the other day.
GTKY: What’s your favorite music genre? I pretty much like everything except Hard rock, metal, heavy metal. One of my favorite artists is Ed Sheeran.
