I am doing just fine here at 23 weeks. So crazy that we are this far along already. Crazy story.... My mom works in L&D on the weekends and they delivered a 23w2d baby last weekend, and he was doing ok all things considered. They transferred him to a major children's hospital the next day so I'm not sure what his prognosis will be but they sounded hopeful. I just couldn't imagine having a baby already! It really put things into perspective for me.
Other than that all is ok. I'm really wishing this cold weather would snap so I didn't have to buy too many more heavy maternity clothes! I am finally able to feel baby move every day now but H hasn't felt anything yet. And yes, we are still Team Green to the end! Now that the excitement of the a/s is over DH has calmed down about wanting to know.
Still no cravings, just have to be a bit careful about how I eat. If I'm not careful, nausea will set in, but I think I am doing pretty good with it.

Had a little scare last week where baby boy was (probably) sitting on my nerve. Real bad sharp groin pain where I could barely walk. Went to doc and I was strong the whole day until they turned the US on and I started crying. So sappy! So glad everything was ok. Just shrugged their shoulders and said to try Tylenol and stay in bed a fee days. It's always something;) well @allison7, found out that both babies flipped! Ha! So now baby boy is breach and girl is head down. Guess nothing is for sure till the end! Happy incubating all!!
I've gone through a million food phases it's ridiculous. There was cucumbers and vinegar, vegetable soup, hot dogs, doritos, chocolate milk, papaya and grapefruit currently...
A/S is on Monday so hopefully everything goes well and we also find out the gender
Qotw: craving meat,burgers, mostly very tasty food...
QOTW: Have you had any cravings yet? What has been your favorite food during pregnancy? Everything yummy
Thanks, @allison7, for taking over!
AFM, we are 17w today. We had an OB appt on Friday last week and everything looks good! I've gained about 6 lbs so far, which seems pretty reasonable. We've scheduled second tri ultrasound and anatomy scan for March 3!!! Can't wait for that!!!! Over the weekend, DH and I went crib shopping.. we found a crib we LOVED, but alas, its discontinued
QOTW - my first craving was for peas. So weird!! I made myself a big bowl of peas with butter and salt- yum! Had a pickle craving a few weeks ago, and the other day, a Shamrock Shake craving. All of my cravings have been for green things... Wonder why...
As for DH, he's doing better, but still has some pain. He's been back at work and I've been begging him to take it easy. He stresses about about stupid meaningless work crap so easily, so I hope that going to work this week wasn't a mistake for him.
QOTW: Anything sweet and juicy! I soooo wish it was summertime because what I would give to sink my teeth into a perfectly ripe peach or some watermelon. OMG...mmmmm! I've been surviving off of cantaloupe, strawberries and apples. Basically anything the grocery store has that looks halfway decent even if it's not in season.

QOTW: I'm kind of obsessed with cereal these days. Not healthy virtuous cereal but sugary cereal that I don't normally eat. Last week it was Cinnamon Toast Crunch (shout-out to @Say1009!). Today I bought individual cups of Honey Nut Cheerios and Cinnamon Life at the convenience store near my office. I don't really want it for breakfast; I eat it for snacks. But I figure since most cereal is enriched with vitamins and minerals and I have it with milk, I could do a whole lot worse in the nutrition department. I also eat a lot of fruit, but more because it's good for me and baby and less because I'm craving it. Blueberries and cottage cheese has definitely been a frequent snack. As for meals, I have been craving Indian food (especially saag paneer) and Massaman curry with tofu (the place near my house makes it with sweet potatoes, which I love).

I have had a few weird cravings. Sour jelly beans, cocoa pebbles cereal (which I hadn't had since I was a kid), and yesterday morning I woke up starving at 4:30 and made myself a scrambled egg, salami and cheese sandwich!
It's so fun to read everyone's updates! We had our A/S a couple of weeks ago and everything looked great and we found out that we are having a girl!
QOTW: Like a couple of you I have had a craving for orange juice - I gotta have my glass of orange juice after I wake up in the morning! I also recently have been craving pineapple, which is strange because pre-pregnancy I did not like pineapple.
hi ladies! 21 weeks exactly today - time is starting to fly now that we're finally past the halfway point! Next appointment isn't until Feb. 21st - this will be the longest stretch we've gone (a whole 4 weeks) without an u/s - until now, we've had one pretty much every 2 weeks, either as a scheduled appointment or an emergency appointment (due to all the bleeding issues we had in December). I went in to see the OB last week, since I've developed some nasty swelling in my legs and feet (and really, everywhere - I haven't been able to wear my watch or rings in over a week!), and was prescribed some totally not awesome granny-style compression thigh-highs. They are not attractive or comfortable, but they do seem to be helping a bit with the swelling. I was also diagnosed with pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel, since I now have constant numbness/tingling in my fingertips, so I'm wearing wrist splints at night, and on and off during the day. This just hasn't been a very fun week to be me.
I've felt baby boy move a few times now; haven't noticed baby girl moving yet. But, she's 25% smaller than he is, so I figure it might be another week or two until I really notice her moving around. We're busy trying to get the nursery in order - have the cribs put together and just got the dressers delivered last weekend, so now I just need to find a small bookshelf and hang things on the walls, and replace the window treatments!
The fun thing this week is baby showers are now being planned! I'm going to Skype into a baby shower my side of the family is throwing me (they all live several states away), and DH's sisters are narrowing down dates to throw us a local shower. Lots of fun things to look forward to!
