Upcoming Appointments: dec 30th for an ultrasound to check on some things plus an appointment after

How are you feeling? Mostly good. Some back pain, but that's to be expected at this point

Raves/Rants: rave: feeling lots more movement which is fun!
Rant: my bp is starting to get a little higher which worries me a little. Still in normal range, but I worry since I had pre-eclampsia last time.

Questions: none currently 

GTKY: What's on your holiday wish list?
I'm boring and there's not much I want. My parents are getting me a disney lillebaby which I'm excited about. Other than that, I'd be happy with a blanket, socks, new Alex and Ani bracelets.

EDD/W+D: 4/11, 22w2d

Team finding out/pink/blue/green: pink

Baby is the size of a(n): corn on the cob

Upcoming Appointments: Dec 31 to repeat the anatomy scan and get a few images they couldn’t get last time. 

How are you feeling? Hungry, tired (mostly due to trouble sleeping and heartburn), and some pain in my back and hips. 

Raves/Rants: DS seems to be really hitting the Terrible Twos hard lately. Lots of tantrums when we ask him to do basically anything. It’s tough, especially when I can’t do as much to help as I want. 

Questions: Anyone else have a lifting restriction? My OB told me not to lift more than 20 pounds. When I pointed out that I have a toddler, she said to have DH do as much of the lifting as possible, but that it’s okay to pick him up when I need to. 

GTKY: What's on your holiday wish list?
Honestly, I’m not that into presents. I have pretty much everything I need and we just spent money at Disney. I have a list of things I’d like to get for DS, but I can’t think of anything specific that I want for Christmas. Maybe some of the baby stuff for the nursery.

@mercury94 I'm on a 15 lb lifting limit due to marginal previa. I told the nurse practitioner that I had a 2 year and she saud to lift him as little as possible. DH is helping a lot, but I still have to lift DS some.

mercury94

@Kathryn0903 Right? It’s not possible to never lift him. I still have to put him in his car seat sometimes. 

Kathryn0903

@mercury94 I don't know how high your car is, but I have a Toyota Corolla and DH has been teaching my son to climb in to the seat himself. Works about half the time. The dissapointing thing is that I've been doing a parent child swim class and I had to stop doing that because lifting DS for 30 min is probably a no go.

EDD/W+D: April 11 / 22+2 but Dr won’t let me go past 38 weeks

Team finding out/pink/blue/green: purple 💜 

Baby is the size of a(n): nalgene water bottle

Upcoming Appointments: dec 19 prenatal and growth ultrasound 

How are you feeling? Heartburn attacks at night and hip pain and pelvic pain but nothing too drastic yet. 

Raves/Rants: babies are moving more often but it freaks me out when I don’t feel them move for awhile.  They don’t have a steady pattern yet so I’m trying to just focus on when I do feel them

Questions: nope

GTKY: What's on your holiday wish list?
DH and I are doing a small getaway for 2 nights next week and that is our gift to ourselves. Otherwise all I want is a good ultrasound on the 19th

How are you feeling? great! Back pain but really overall manageable 

Raves/Rants: I love all the kicks!!! Such a relief to feel him throughout the day. Also, turned in final papers so just one exam away (next week) from winter break. Haven’t had a month off since college! 

Questions: Any book recommendations? Not baby related, just fun ones! 

GTKY: What's on your holiday wish list? Basically all baby stuff!
