How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Back to having little appetite in the evening which makes meal planning for dinner heard. It's not a big deal when DH is away because DS and I can eat cereal and be happy but trying to cook actual meals is annoying. :P

Doing pretty well, though I had a scary dream the other night which I didn't like

10.2015 - loss at 12 wks
03.2017 - DD
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
23 weeks, 4 days, grapefruit!
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
I have finally figured out that my pelvic pain is only occuring when I overdo it. Seems to only happen at home, when I'm on my feet too much cooking/cleaning. If I stop when it gets sore and go sit down and rest them I'm ok, if I push it, it's sore for days. SO I'm trying to pace myself and keep up with my exercises and try to keep this pain at bay!
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Things are good, I'm just anxiously counting down til 28 weeks & viability
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
I see my ob the week after next, my big bill is due then though - ouch! Not actually fully due til 28 weeks, but I may as well get it over with!
Favorite moment of the week?
I THINK dd felt the baby move for the first time (she's 3.5). She loses interest waiting for a kick after like 10 seconds, but I think she felt it this time
Least favorite moment of the week?
Overdoing it cleaning and having a VERY sore pelvis and back for 2 days *sigh*
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
What is the biggest unnecessary item you want to splurge on?
We have pretty much all the 'baby stuff' from last time around, but I'd like a bassinet so baby can sleep in the same room as me. Dh nearly had a meltdown last time with lack of sleep and a VERY stressful job. So I may camp out in the guest room with the baby for a few months til we get sleep sorted. I do have a bassinet with my stroller though, I could really just use that, but it's heavy to caryy up and down the stairs (even with no baby in it)
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
23 weeks
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Well, when baby girl kicks... it feels like she's hitting a nerve. It hurts!! But I'm glad I can feel her kick, so I'll take it.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Typical getting nervous before an appointment.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
I go for a checkup on the 2nd. Looking forward to hearing her heartbeat.
Favorite moment of the week?
My niece coming to check out the nursery. The glow of excitment in her face made my day.
Least favorite moment of the week?
Having an ugly cry because I didn't like something dh had worked so hard on in the nursery. I feel even worse that he took it all down. Sigh. He has to think I'm nuts.
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
What is the biggest unnecessary item you want to splurge on?
We've gotten very lucky and haven't had to buy much at all. be it hand me downs or my parents buying it for us.
I'd say the biggest splurge will be giving in and spending before the people attending my shower have a chance to get it for me. Dh and I both are planners, so are nursery is almost complete. I just know we will be bored and end up buying things just to fill the void.
@slensic I saw your little one wasn't moving a lot either... maybe it's just a phase of development? I noticed for like 4 days he was so crazy active it actually made my stomach feel upset, but I certainly didn't mind. Then the last 2 days, he's been so quiet it freaks me out. I even got out my Doppler and checked on him, and he kept turning away. I did get one read of 150s so I wasn't concerned but when he doesn't move a lot I get SO worried. These kids already have us constantly worried and they aren't even born yet!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
24 weeks (25 on Sunday!)-Cantaloupe!
If you’re far enough along, are you having a boy or girl or are you team green? (This is to update the list, so if you’re already on there no need to answer next)
XXXX
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Pretty much the same stuff as normal (varicose veins, back hurting from scoliosis) but now I seem to be kind of emotional and weepy.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
I've been doing okay... just wish he would move a little more frequently and not freak me out!
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Routine midwife appointment on Monday morning... I was supposed to see her this week, but she was on vacation so I pushed my appointment to Monday.
Favorite moment of the week?
Hm.... probably starting washing baby brother's (that's his nickname) clothes and putting them away in his closet!
Least favorite moment of the week?
Probably the lack of sleep I'm getting and really wanting warm weather to get here!!!
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
What is the biggest unnecessary item you want to splurge on?
A pottery barn diaper bag... they are like $150. I'm hoping dropping hints to my friends and family will sink in and I'll have people go in on it together. I am totally fine with a cheaper one, but I just LOVE the ones from pottery barn and I know it's ridiculous to spend that much on one...but they are pretty. No judging. haha
A little bit about me...
Married my awesome guy on 12/27/08

"If anyone asks me how many children I have, the answer is 4. Just two of them live in Heaven."
*All are welcome in my posts*@slensic I'm doing well now after seeing the blood was nothing. Everything still nice and shut and how it needs to be to keep these babies cooking!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
23w1d today, 2 grapefruits!
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Same old symptoms! Nausea still coming and going and super fun pressure on my crotch, and just unable to do much of anything. I've also been getting more emotional I think, which has been frustrating. Hard seeing our nanny playing with DD. It's like I get jealous. So necessary to have her, but hard not getting to be mommy like I have been.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Been better! Started freaking out I'm gonna hurt them b/c I've been having aspartame a little bit more (need to cut back sugar b/c of GD), but what else is new. The minor spotting freaked me out, but saw OB and all is fine!
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
I've passed my milestone! Hit 23 weeks with twins! Now I just want to make it to V-day next week.
Favorite moment of the week?
DD has started blowing kisses; too cute!
Least favorite moment of the week?
Seeing the smidge of blood on my TP twice! Hope that's over with.
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
What is the biggest unnecessary item you want to splurge on?
Hmm, I bought these new Bumbo-like seats called Mega Seat for the twins. My friend's daughter was using one and she said it's great, and moms on the Multiples board had said the Bumbo was really helpful. So, they were like half off so I bought two yesterday. DH freaked out but oh well! Money's getting tight here, too, with so much to do and buy and the nanny now, ahh!!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 22 weeks - Papaya
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? - Few other than tiredness and stretching belly
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Pretty good. This baby is alot less active than my DS and DD were, which concerns me a bit, but I'm hoping he'll just be a good sleeper.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Yes, my EDD :-)
Favorite moment of the week? We took a family mini-vacation last week. It was great!
Least favorite moment of the week? Going back to work. My job is sucking the life out of me.
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
What is the biggest unnecessary item you want to splurge on? Well, since I'm on #3 everything I want is kind of unnecessary, but I would like a new diaper bag.
Symptoms are still the same. Hanging over a trashcan as I type and the itching is crazy. I can't wait to see the dermatologist again in a couple weeks.
Pgal brain is better. I always get nervous before an appointment, but feeling the baby really helps.
Baby cooperated and we found out today we are having a girl!!! Can't wait to meet Olivia Jane and to stop puking and itching
Favorite moment, finding out the sex of our baby with my husband. I'm so glad he was able to get off work.
Least favorite, puking all night after my early birthday dinner.
Biggest splurge: new jogging stroller and click connect car seat.
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
I'm 26w1d. Lettuce.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
I'm getting heartburn less often now but the itching is getting worse. I need to check with my doctor about that.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
PGAL brain is very calm now.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Have an appointment on the 9th...my parents are in town so this will be the first time they hear his little heartbeat live not just recorded so I'm very excited.
Favorite moment of the week?
Turning in the house we were renting and receiving the news that we are getting our full deposit.
Least favorite moment of the week?
Moving, cleaning, carrying, not resting, and missing my sailor (this is the 2nd week he is gone, I believe 2-3 more weeks till he is home).
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
What is the biggest unnecessary item you want to splurge on?
Professional pictures. Need them! Okay I really don't but I honestly want them so bad. They only stay so small for a very short time.
@slensic - That you for asking. It was a rough couple days, and the worst day was my last post. But we've made a ton of headway and I feel a lot better about things with DH now. I am trying to look at the positive that this rough patch happened before the baby got here so we can establish what is acceptable and what isn't.I am so sorry to hear about your job being stressful, I definitely know what that is like and I really hope it gets better for you. Are you going back after the baby is born?How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?23 weeks 4 days - a grapefruitIf you’re far enough along, are you having a boy or girl or are you team green? (This is to update the list, so if you’re already on there no need to answer next)Boy!
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?My boobs have gotten another cup size bigger, they are starting to freak me out. I got measured at an E and my milk hasn't even come in, so it's a little scary. The heartburn pops up at the worst times, but wintergreen tums are a miracle worker.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?I feel really good, and I feel very confident at this point.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?I am looking forward to my viability date next Tuesday, and our next ultrasound is at 26 weeks.
Favorite moment of the week?We are doing fun carpet tiles over the wood floors for the little boy's room and they were delivered on Wednesday. My color scheme is grey and orange with a little black and tan. I will post a pic when I am all done, I think it will be really cute. DH also booked us a babymoon to Mexico in three weeks, so I am really excited about that.
Least favorite moment of the week?Nothing much to report, it has been a very good week.
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*What is the biggest unnecessary item you want to splurge on?I'm not sure. DH and I had a date night last night and he asked me if I wanted a "push present," which I feel very weird about. He said he had been looking at designer diaper bags, which I thought was sweet but unnecessary. I think the money I want to spend on the gliders I like is entirely unnecessary, but I know we will use it for another child as well.
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
25 weeks - cauliflower
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Did a lot of walking this weekend, and it was very difficult due to ligament pain really low.
Favorite moment of the week?
Celebrating our anniversary on a weekend getaway together.
Least favorite moment of the week
Coming home to SNOW!
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
What is the biggest unnecessary item you want to splurge on?
I don't believe I have anything on my list.
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
will be 23 weeks tomorrow, but today, I am a papaya:)

TEAM BLUE:)
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?\
My reflux is acting up, full force (I have it pretty badly when I am NOT PG!), and I have to go to the bathroom quite a bit more frequently as this little guy likes to sit right on my bladder, LOL!
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
My regular OB visit this week...praying for an easy doppler/heartbeat check:)
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
same as above...I'm officially pass my loss milestone as of last week, and it feels great:)
Favorite moment of the week? Feeling tons of movement each day now, which is nice and comforting:)
Least favorite moment of the week?
just losing sleep/reflux keeping me up! ugh!
What is the biggest unnecessary item you want to splurge on?
well, we are in the process of buying a new home (under contract, but still scares the heck out of me that something could go wrong!), and fixing up our current home to please the buyers, but I want lots of unnecessary pieces for the new home which we really can't be splurging on since we are spending so much as it is! But one can dream, right, LOL?!!!
