Hello, lovely 2nd tri ladies! This is my last week in our little club before I graduate to my 3rd and final trimester!
No medical updates to report. Things are going well. In other news, right on cue, my insomnia has set in. The little man is bouncing around in there, and we've started to put together the nursery!

Hi ladies! Not much going on here except for crazy busy holidays! Our little guy is not here yet but already getting ridiculously spoiled! I'm 22 weeks now and have my next OB appointment on January 4 too.
Not much going on here. Busy getting things in order since Christmas is done. Working on nursery. Enjoying being off of work. I too have my next check up on Jan 4th. Have a happy new year!

Hi all! Having a quiet week here too. my next appointment is next Tuesday. I'm excited to see LO again.
@kaitielynnrichardson that's awesome! I thought I felt baby move during a meetings week ago but OB said it was too soon (14-15 weeks at the time)and I haven't felt anything since. It was 3 distinct little pops (I still think it was LO). I usually feel everything, ovulation and implantation so I'm hoping I'll be sensitive and feel more soon. Really excited to feel him all the time!
That's not too early @HBamama2B. They say you can feel as early as 14 weeks but the average is 18-22. I felt my little one move for sure at 16 weeks,Mobutu felt little things here and there that I thought was baby before that! I'm starting to feel movement more and more now, but not consistently.

Here's mine from last weekend! There's a lot of fettuccine Alfredo on top of baby. I always take a top down picture too Bc that's the view that really surprises me. and thanks @kaitielynnrichardson and @AdorkablePixie I feel less crazy. I woke up in the middle of the night and felt a flutter across my tummy that I'm pretty positive was him too. More to come I'm sure!!
@HBMama2B : you look adorable! I've also taken top down pictures like you and have reached the point where I can no longer see my toes! I was surprised how quickly that happened!
I have an anterior placenta and was told it'd be harder to feel baby move. I started feeling some definite movement at 18 weeks, and DH has been able to feel baby move too since about 20 weeks...so I think it's definitely possible!
I love the top down pictures. I should start doing that too! I'm posting one from last week and then a comparison with this week because I actually popped a little bit last week!
