It's too early...but I'm trying to get DD1 to unlearn this before 5am wake-up thing she picked up just in time for Christmas break, and DD2 is punching or kicking me straight in the cervix so, I'm up...

Re: Wednesday Ticker Change
Symptoms: apparently some lingering nausea...come on body, pull yourself together! And dry mouth, OH the dry mouth!!
Rants/Raves/Stories: I could so do without this cold sinus pressure situation, just in time for the holidays...
Upcoming Appointments: 28 week appt (last of the 4 week span!) and GD test January 14th
Questions: Anyone thought about your take-home outfit? I feel like I'm stressing about it so much. I can't use DD1's outfit because she wore a fleece sleeper and April in Florida is way too warm for that...
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to over the holidays? Seeing DD get all her new baby doll accessories! She's a little mama and it's SO cute. And also not having an agenda or plan, doing nothing if we so feel like it!
Week/Baby Size: 22 Weeks, Papaya
Symptoms: Heartburn same as with DS, wondering if he'll have as much hair as DS did. That was one old wives tale that was more than accurate for us.
Rants/Raves/Stories: I tripped over my own to feet at work but thankfully didn't hit my stomach. I was still nervous and OB had me go in to make sure baby and placenta were ok. All is well Thank God.
Upcoming Appointments: January 6 for my 24 week and to pick up the glucose mixture to drink before my 28 week appt.
Questions: Nope
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to over the holidays? Spending time with family. I wish it wasn't 83 degrees and muggy this year so it would feel more like the holidays but I'll gladly take the off of work.
Symptoms: None other than the return of the dry, peeling mouth.
Rants/Raves/Stories: I was supposed to be on a plane to Rio de Janeiro tonight. I'm kinda depressed that most of my family and none of my friends will ever be able to participate in my first pregnancy... See the belly, rub it, feel the kicks... I'm so bummed. On the bright side, mom is coming to cheer me up in 4 days.
Upcoming Appointments: I scheduled an elective US on dec 30 so mom can see her grandson again. Then I have a 28 w appt in mid January.
Questions: when are we supposed to count kicks? How do you do it? Time it until you feel 10 kicks, or count the number of kicks over an hour, or other methods?
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to over the holidays? My mom's arrival, for sure!
Week/Baby Size: 21 weeks size of a Pomegranate.
Symptoms: Ridiculous amounts of burping...yuck!
Rants/Raves/Stories: Due Date changed yesterday at appointment from A/S follow up. All looks fantastic
Upcoming Appointments: I have to wait until Feb 3 after my Mexico vacation!
Questions: Anyone else have a due date change? If so what was the difference in dates?
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to over the holidays? I am looking forward to holding my new nephew for the first time and my puppy opening up his gifts. Plus once the holidays are over I can officially start the countdown to relaxing on the beach!
Symptoms: heartburn more frequently, hip pain, dry mouth and nose
Rants/Raves/Stories: Some woman at lunch the other day was talking loudly and told her stomach "gah could you please stop kicking me? This is getting old." WTH?! Maybe I'm sensitive but I don't care how uncomfortable I am, kick away my LO kick away!
Upcoming Appointments: GD test on Jan 8th.
Questions: None at the moment
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to over the holidays? A day off! Also going back to a normal schedule after Christmas. I am so ready to have a lazy day with DH!
Symptoms: uncomfortable all the time (all ready!?) Other than that and feeling huge all the time I can't think of any other symptoms.
Rants/Raves/Stories: Have to host Christmas at my house this year when all I want to do is just relax with my family. I will be seeing my Dad for the first time in months, my husband has to work, it's going to be a different Christmas but my Mom invited herself over (we have a strained relationship) so I get to play hostess instead of enjoying my family (my mom has high expectations)
Upcoming Appointments: January 18th is my 28/29 week appt/ultrasound/glucose
Questions: none
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to over the holidays? I'm looking forward to seeing my Dad for the first time in months (I'm in Kansas, he's in Colorado) and seeing my kids open their presents.
Symptoms: The back pain. Ugh! And frequent urination which could also be because I'm staying better hydrated.
Rants/Raves/Stories: DH and I just got back from our honeymoon cruise. It was so great to have that bonding time, to see DH be proud of my bump and we both got to feel a ton of movement! The 10 hour car ride was the worst part.
I also found a new appreciation for being pregnant in the winter! The heat in the Carribean was wearing me out!
Upcoming Appointments: Not until next Friday.

Looking forward to getting back to my dogs after 2 weeks away from home.
Also excited to see DS open his gifts
Symptoms: heartburn and hip pain
Rants/Raves/Stories: really excited to have off from work until Jan 4!
Upcoming Appointments: I am going to do the GD test while I have off for break
Questions: who wants to name this kid? Just kidding. But DH & I suck big time at it this go around.
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to over the holidays? DS just now sort of "gets it" as far presents go, so I'm really excited to see him open everything. It's also our last Christmas close to family so I'm excited to enjoy all of our traditions one last time. Next year we will be living a few hours away so we won't be able to spend the time with everyone like we do now.
Week/Baby Size: 25 weeks!
Symptoms: This head cold seriously needs to take a hike!
Rants/Raves/Stories: We're in Disney world now, and last night was rough.. We did a boat ride and then I proceeded to empty the contents of my stomach... Then started getting painful cramping around baby boy.. And then got back to the hotel to discover my stomach had a little something more to give. Feeling better today, but toning my walking wayyyy down.
Upcoming Appointments: GD next month!
