GTKY: (I'm stealing this from the Sunday/Monday ticker change). What is one characteristic you hope to pass on to your LO? One you hope to NOT pass on?
Symptoms: Tired all.the.time. Peeing every 8.4 minutes (especially at night). Lots of kicks. Boobs are huge. Belly button seems like it's going to pop any second. Feet hurt. General crankypants and thoughts of "OMG, 14 more weeks? I need a nap."
Appointments/updates/AW: My next OB appt/US is on 8/22. After that starts every other week!
GTKY: (I'm
stealing this from the Sunday/Monday ticker change). What is one
characteristic you hope to pass on to your LO? One you hope to NOT pass
on? I hope that LO has the same color hair that both DH and I had when we were little - golden, honey blonde. So pretty. I hope LO is not overweight like DH and I. Something we're going to have to work on! (I can't wait to join weight watchers after this baby is born!)
Symptoms: not too much honestly. Still not feeling much movement or any kicks, but was told on Fri I have anterior placenta. Hoping to feel some big movement soon!
Also getting super exhausted now teaching my hip hop/zumba class at the gym. I finally caved and told my boss that I would be done teaching at the end of August, so only a few more weeks of that (hopefully I can make it through!).
Appointments/updates/AW: last appt was this past Friday. Healthy heartbeat in the 140s. Doctor just measured my stomach with a tape measure and said everything was measuring fine. Next appt Aug. 29th which is the dreaded glucose test.
GTKY: (I'm
stealing this from the Sunday/Monday ticker change). What is one
characteristic you hope to pass on to your LO? One you hope to NOT pass
on?
I hope that LO gets both DH's and my work ethic. We both worked hard in school and at our jobs (I'm currently employed by 4 different companies!). Not saying I want LO to work their life away, but just at least have that focus in school and drive to be a good worker at whatever they choose.
I hope LO does NOT get my sense of worry. I'm constantly worried about something. DH is much more laid-back and I would like LO to get that trait.
Symptoms: Some heartburn and aches/pains, but nothing bad. Still feeling pretty good, just getting physically tired sooner!
Appointments/updates/AW: I have an appointment on Friday for the glucose test, not looking forward to that. I also have to fly to a work conference next week, it's a short flight but I'm more worried about something happening while I'm in another state.
GTKY: (I'm stealing this from the Sunday/Monday ticker change). What is one characteristic you hope to pass on to your LO? One you hope to NOT pass on? I think I'm a pretty empathetic person, I hope to pass that on. I hope that I do not pass on my anxiety!

Appointments/updates/AW: growth scan and GD test next Wednesday!
GTKY: (I'm stealing this from the Sunday/Monday ticker change). What is one characteristic you hope to pass on to your LO? One you hope to NOT pass on?
I want LO to have my eyes. I hope LO does not have my skin tone. I'm very fair and my H is olive toned. I burn very, very easily.
Symptoms: Bleeding gums this morning when I brushed my teeth, sore boobs, pain in my ass (literally! sciatica maybe?), tired
Appointments/updates/AW: Had my 24 week appt last week and that went well. Baby is really moving around a lot already today! Mom bought my crib and mattress...can't wait for it to come so the nursery can start looking like a nursery!
GTKY: (I'm
stealing this from the Sunday/Monday ticker change). What is one
characteristic you hope to pass on to your LO? One you hope to NOT pass
on? I hope he has my eyes and my motivation for life. I hope he doesn't get my mom's red hair (all 4 of her other grandchildren have it) and I hope he doesn't have his father's lack of motivation 8-|
EDD/Weeks: 11-3-14 27 Weeks LAST WEEK OF THE 2ND TRIMESTER!!!!!!!
Symptoms: Lower back pain, cramp in the legs, SUPER HUNGRY, tired
Appointments/updates/AW: I have my 1 hour glucose test on August 14th. Just signed up for childbirth preparation classes and newborn care classes. <----That made things feel real!
GTKY: What characteristic i hope to pass on to my LO? One I hope to NOT pass on? I hope LO has a love for sports and wants to play them all (expect soccer I tried when I was little and hated it ever since) I hope LO doesn't get lack of motivation of cleaning
Symptoms: not much new or surprising. started an iron supplement... just when I thought constipation couldn't get worse!
Appointments/updates/AW: I was having a hangup about whether or not to add the crib to my registry to buy it myself for the completion points, and if so when (we were given some cash to use toward it and I feel weird broadcasting the price). I finally decided to get over it and order the crib already... which is good because I didn't realize that it had been discontinued and is on clearance - there were less than two dozen of them left!
GTKY: What characteristic I hope to pass on to my LO? One I hope to NOT pass on? Hmm... I hope she is caring and compassionate without being loyal to a fault.
AW: my nursery furniture arrived! Things are getting very real very quickly. We start our birthing classes this weekend! I woke up on my back this am and haven't felt a kick yet today so I'm a bit nervous. I don't normally feel much movement in the morning so I'm trying not to stress.
Gtky: I hope he gets my love of the outdoors and passion for adventure. I pray every day he does not get my alcoholism gene.
Symptoms: Lower back pain, cramp in the legs, SUPER HUNGRY, tired
Ugh, I've been getting leg cramps too! They wake me up at night. I've been eating a banana every day and taking calcium supplements but neither seems to be helping.

@hiketheworld-glad to hear LO is kicking! I swear it doesn't matter WHAT I do or how I configure pillows, I always wake up on my back at least once a night.
Symptoms: Tired, uncomfortable, heart burn.. Basically just worn out. How the heck am I going to make it til nov??

GTKY: (I'm stealing this from the Sunday/Monday ticker change). What is one characteristic you hope to pass on to your LO? One you hope to NOT pass on? I hope she gets my blue eyes like her sister did. & I'm hoping she's not ridiculously tall like her daddy lol
Hip pain but only on my left side. Had this with both boys and usually only happens if I put a lot of weight on the one side. Almost like I"m putting it out of joint. Also hot flashes; new to this pregnancy, never had that with the boys.
Had my glucose test yesterday; I have to take mine a little early due to having GD with Sweet Pea
I'd love pumpkin to get the long eye lashes Peanut did and I'd love to not pass on my bad teeth and eye sight.
Symptoms: she MUST have had a growth spurt recently because I could barely keep my eyes open for the last 3 days! Kicking, rolling, punching like a champ.
Appointments/updates/AW: time to book in my GD test & baby classes - eep!
GTKY: What is one characteristic you hope to pass on to your LO? One you hope to NOT pass on? SUCH A GOOD QUESTION! I hope she gets her dad's cooking & music skills, & my ambition. I hope she doesn't get my (lack of) height or her dad's anxiety.
