How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 25 weeks! Cauliflower!
How are you feeling? Rants it raves? Pretty good! Weird pelvic pain and uncomfortable legs from time to time. But overall great! Rave: lots of kicks!!! She's getting so strong!
Any doctor appointment news? Heard her heartbeat on Monday! And she kept kicking the doppler.
GTKY- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? My sister!
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 23 weeks/grapefruit
How are you feeling? Rants it raves? eh, ok. Back pain, restless legs, contraction/cervix issues
Any doctor appointment news? Went yesterday to check my cervix and going back tomorrow to check it again. We're trying to figure out of I need the cerclage before I hit 24 weeks.
GTKY- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? My parents They'll be watching DS so I'm less worried about them showing up a the hospital. Plus, the are respectful.
DS 9/2/13 was a BFP from an IUI! Triplets due 6/29/16 also from an IUI!
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 23 weeks, he is the size of a box of kraft Mac and cheese
How are you feeling? Rants it raves? Still tired and it's getting worse since sleep is not coming easy to me. The newb has been moving a ton this week. My H even got to feel him kick a few times.
Any doctor appointment news? Next one is the 23rd. Have my glucose screening then.
GTKY- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? Likely it will be my parents. With my first I had a c section and they were there by the time I was out of recovery. To be honest I don't really remember calling anyone. I think my H did that for me. Last time it was jsut me and him and I called mom after the big arrived. I'm sure it will go the same this time. Then likely my brothers and then my two best friends.
@Huskerfanz I hope they can figure things out for you. Keep those babies in! I have a friend who is 26 weeks with twins and she has been in and out of the hospital this last week with similar issues. Every time we talk I think if you and hope you are doing good.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 27! Isn't that the start of the third tri? My stuff all says it's still second, but that makes no sense to me. Oh well
baby is the size of a bunch of bananas or a camping lantern.
How are you feeling? Rants it raves? Meh. So tired and my nose won't stop running. Yay mucus.
Any doctor appointment news? Nope. Next one is next week for my 28-wk checkup and glucose challenge.
GTKY- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? Probably my parents.
@Huskerfanz: Hoping your cervix continues to cooperate and babies stay put!
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 23 weeks/grapefruit/bunch of grapes
How are you feeling? Rants it raves? Rave: New countertops in the kitchen tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing the change, and ticking a major item off the remodel list.
Symptoms: PTFO'ed at 9pm last night. Please don't tell me there's another round of exhaustion this trimester. Cranky as all get out sometimes. Feeling some stretching and pulling.
Any doctor appointment news? Had a good appt at the midwife today. Baby's strong with a good heartbeat, my vitals are good, belly measuring on track, and weight is picking up.
GTKY- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? My mom, then my sister.
****realized I copied/pasted the Wednesday checking questions, so hope no one minds I deleted and replaced with this post's questions
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 26 weeks...head of lettuce
How are you feeling? Rants it raves? Tired but I just took the glucose test so I heard that isn't uncommon. Frustrated because of water weight rapid gains and not knowing why.
Any doctor appointment news? Just went in for the glucose test this morning. I was supposed to get it 2 weeks from now but I called my doctor yesterday and asked to take it early (I think I'm the only one who ever asked her for that...lol). My weight gain has been tremendous in the last month and a half. 13lb in 6 weeks and I'm monitoring what I eat (calorie counting roughly), watching my sodium, watching my sugar AND working out 4-6 times a week. Obviously this is water weight but I'd like to narrow down why I'm gaining water weight so quickly. It makes me concerned because if I wasn't doing all of the healthy things I'm doing, how much would I be gaining then?!? Anyway, I'm getting the test results tomorrow and will go from there.
GTKY- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? My mom and sister will likely be in the hospital when I deliver. We will likely call H's family first...they are in India so obviously can't be here.
@Lilwatz my baby dodges the doppler every time. @huskerfanz hope that your appointment tomorrow reveals a cooperative cervix! @MamaNicoleof3 I have so much post-nasal drip and it's driving me insane, so I hear ya. @crdo I'd love to see pictures of all your finished remodel projects. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 26 weeks/ head of lettuce or butternut squash
How are you feeling? Rants it raves? Feeling pretty good. Feel like my belly grew a lot last night but it might be the way that baby is positioned? My right outer thigh goes numb occasionally and I have been having cramping in my left side-butt, maybe from how I have been sleeping I guess.
Any doctor appointment news? I have an appointment on the 7th for glucose test and RH antibody check before my rhogam shot a few days later. Anyone else RH negative?
GTKY- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? Probably my dad and the in-laws.
@dennyandlee I am RH negative and get the Rhogam shot Monday
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 26 weeks, head of lettuce
How are you feeling? Rants it raves? My ribs have been insanely sore and still RLP but other than that I've been feeling pretty good! Rant: If one more stranger asks my due date then after I tell them says "oh wow, you still have a LONG way to go" I'm going to punch them in the throat. Are you trying to say I'm bigger than I should be?!
Any doctor appointment news? Glucose test on Monday along with the rhogam shot... Counting down the days to my 4D sono! 10 sleeps left!
GTKY- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? My entire family and DHs will be at the hospital.. so probably my bestie.
@dennyandlee- I'm negative and actually did a ton of research on this before, as I declined it during pregnancy. If baby is positive, you can get the shot up to 72 hours after delivery to prevent the antibodies from developing.
@dennyandleeIt was 6 1/2 years ago, so my memory is a bit fuzzy, but I think it has a ridiculously high amount of Mercury and aluminum in it. I'll try to find the sources for you! The reason they give it now is to prevent any antibodies from forming, should your blood mix with baby's, say, in a car accident. The chances of that were so low, I was okay taking the risk.
ETA- Do you know H's blood type? If he's also negative, then you don't need it.
Plus, it's the most painful shot I've ever gotten, and I'm fine with needles not that that was one of the reasons I decided to decline during PG!!
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 25 weeks today! Ovia says she's a baseball glove, prairie dog, or napa cabbage. Bump says she's a head of cauliflower. These always crack me up.
How are you feeling? Rants it raves? Yesterday I felt awful. Just tired the whole day and ached like crazy. I'm feeling better today, but still tired. I'm wondering if the the fatigue is starting to kick back in. I had it really bad during first tri. Raves: DH and I are taking a CPR class tonight at my school that includes infant and toddler CPR.
Any doctor appointment news? Had my monthly checkup on Monday and things are looking good. Love hearing her heartbeat
GTKY- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? Probably my mom and dad. They will probably know before though since they will be watching our dog for us while we're at the hospital.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 24 weeks!! Size of a GI Joe.
How are you feeling? Rants it raves? Feeling like crap. For some reason I have developed GI issues after I eat anything. Had a scan on Monday baby is growing perfectly so not to worried about it but it sucks.
Any doctor appointment news? Had a 3rd A/S scan on Monday everything looks good from what they told me. Baby is measuring about 60th percentile and weighs about 1lb 10oz. She is growing. Have another appt on the 10th.
GTKY- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? Probably my mum then my best friend of about 18 years. She is more like family than my own family.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 25 weeks--a cauliflower!
How are you feeling? Rants it raves? I'm feeling huge . I hadn't gained much weight and wasn't showing much for a while...and that has recently all changed!
Any doctor appointment news? We found out that the umbilical cord has a velamentous insertion (no vasa previa though), and the doc doesn't seem concerned at all because he's growing well. So just keeping fingers crossed that everything keeps going great.
GTKY- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? I assume that DH is there with me After that, my mom!
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 27 weeks, a rutabaga. I don't even think I've ever eaten rutabaga.
How are you feeling? Rants it raves? Feeling good, but my dreams have been sooooo weird lately.
Any doctor appointment news? Nothing until next week.
GTKY- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? Probably my dad, followed quickly by texts to all my siblings. They all live out of state, so there is no chance of anyone showing up to the hospital.
How many weeks/How big is baby: 24 weeks (viability!!!) And baby is the size of a GI Joe
How are you feeling? Rants and Raves: Feeling actually really good right now! Not sure that the last round of antibiotics cleared up the UTI but feeling good so we will see. Just feel so ecstatic to be moving farther in the pregnancy and more hopeful then ever that this baby might safely make it out in to the world?
A rant would definitely be: holy weight gain. I don't even feel like I am eating much differently then before pregnancy and just packing on the weight! Trying not to worry too much. I see it all going to my bump and boobs right now, so just accepting that it is how it is. Trying to walk a lot and drink more water and stay somewhat active.
Doctor appointment news: See the doc again on the 14th for an ultrasound to make sure baby's cord moved away from its head, check up with doc, and glucose test.
GTKY-Baby has just arrived, who do you call first: I imagine that we will do a group text to the whole family. Probably one from my phone to my siblings and parents and one on husbands phone to his parents and siblings. Likely with a picture from the new baby saying hello. I am planning on not telling any one I am in labor or anything, just a surprise "I'm Here!" announcement. My sister did this with all three and I thought it was so fun to wake up in the morning to find out I had a new niece/nephew. And since we aren't finding out sex, it will be even more fun for every one to finally find out what we had. After family we will probably send out texts to friends to let them know. Still not sure what the plan is for announcing birth on Facebook or if we will wait for a bit.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 27 weeks 1 day, Not sure how big baby is yet
How are you feeling? Rants it raves? Eh alright, mostly tired ALL the time. Restless legs at night and occasional hip pain
Any doctor appointment news? Passed my 1 hour Glucose test with flying colors! Yay!
GTKY- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? Well odds are my parents and his mom will be in the waiting room so maybe other relatives I'm not sure
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 24 weeks / baby is the size of an elephant... Or it just feels like that!
How are you feeling? Rants it raves? I am still very tired but sleeping like crap. Sciatica and general aches and pains but I will take it all now I am officially not sick any more!
Any doctor appointment news? Have my next check up on the 9th but after that will be another scan at 28 weeks to see if the placenta has moved up and out of the way. It had gotten lower between the 1st and 2nd scans and is completely covering the cervix. With a toddler I can't be put on bed rest for 10 weeks so am hoping it will fix itself.
GTKY- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? My sister and mom.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 27 Weeks; Fennec Fox sized
How are you feeling? Rants it raves? Rants: I'm finally starting to feel uncomfortable. Just got over a sinus infection, and now running is not so awesome feeling anymore
Any doctor appointment news? Next week: glucose test and another anatomy scan
GTKY- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? Probably our folks. We won't have anyone here with us in AZ when we give birth.

@huskerfanz - I hope you don't need the cerclage anytime soon...fingers crossed.
@lilwatz - I think that is adorable that she kept kicking the doppler.
@MamaNicoleof3 - I've read the 3rd tri starts somewhere between week 26-28 based on various sources. Why can't there is a consensuses? lol
@crdo - Yeah new counter tops!!!! I can't wait to see the finished product!!
@fishwife799 - Now I want mac'n'cheese. Yummm.
