How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 27 weeks, the size of a rutabaga (which is something I've never seen before...googling to find a better comparison...there: Lunchbox. Much better.)
How are you feeling? Rants and/or raves? I'm feeling BIG! Lots of baby movement last night (didn't mind it at all!) but also a pretty gnarly leg cramp woke me up--ow!
Any doctor appointment news or other updates? I went on Monday and was relieved that I had only gained 3 lb this interval--the doctor was happy with that. So, of course, I came home and ate all the things.
GTKY (stolen from either Tues or Wed ticker change post)- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? The grandparents, starting with my mom. Then my best friend.
How are you feeling? Rants and/or raves? Starting to feel the pregnancy pain on the regular. Back pain, leg cramps, and nasal congestion. Rave is baby girl likes kicking all day, which makes me smile.
Any doctor appointment news or other updates? Had an appt Tuesday. Everything looks good. Scheduled my glucose test and f/u scan for low lying placenta which I'm bringing my in-laws to.
GTKY (stolen from either Tues or Wed ticker change post)- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? Presuming DH is there (I've been worried about the threat of preterm labor lately and he's deployed) I'd call my mom.
Also, this happened yesterday without me even realizing until I got home. Pickles and ice cream...
Rants/raves: Braxton hicks are strong this time around. I'm crediting it to being a girl this time lol
Appointment: next Wednesday and I have an appointment with my Doula sometime this week or next. GD test isn't until 29/30 weeks
Baby just arrived, first call: H will call his parents, my mom will call my dad because he'll be watching our other kids, and so he can bring them to the hospital. My 3.5 (hell be 4 in July) is way excited about "Myrene" (aka Irene) so we want him to meet her asap
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 25w!!! Size of a baseball glove
How are you feeling? Rants and/or raves? Feeling super duper. Oh, except my daughter woke up at 2am with a fever, and then again at 4, and then again again at 4:45 - for the day. But she's adorable, and sick, so I don't care.
Any doctor appointment news or other updates? Happily no. Another u/s on Mar 16 and here's hoping this kid's bones have grown and caught up so we can relax
GTKY (stolen from either Tues or Wed ticker change post)- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? My Mother in Law. She's who will be most excited because she's awesome and I love her.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 25 weeks, sooo... big. That's all I know anymore, big
How are you feeling? Rants and/or raves? Baby movements are getting stronger, but so is the back pain, hip pain, stomach stretching. Also, I'm starting to develop cankles from the swelling, and I think that is making me more frustrated than any of the actual aches
Any doctor appointment news or other updates? Just had a check up on Tuesday. Baby is still measuring a couple days behind, but he has from the beginning so I'm just assuming at this point my due date is slightly off. However, he did gain a full pound from 4 weeks ago, holy cow! OB said that was better than she had hoped for and she was taking me off extra monitoring! Yay! Glucose test at the end of the month
GTKY (stolen from either Tues or Wed ticker change post)- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? Probably the grandmas, but if I have to guess on how it will turn out, they'll be there in the waiting room already anyway. DH is so far arguing against all of my requests to try and keep everyone away from the hospital until after the baby is born. I don't mind telling our parents when we head there, but I would rather they stay home. However, he won't agree to tell his mom she can't come. We'll see how it goes

@meggyme I had pickle chips from that same brand recently and they were amazing! I'm not sure that I like pickles any more now that I'm prego, but I certainly do love pickles.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 25+1 Baby is the size of a prairie dog, baseball glove, or napa cabbage.
How are you feeling? Rants and/or raves? Ugh, this week has been pretty bad. I went from constipation to the other extreme now. Seriously, get it together body!!! Seeing my chiro today for a massage and adjustment, so hoping that helps with all the aches and pains i my hips and back.
Any doctor appointment news or other updates? Had my apt. on Monday and baby is doing well. Just got to check in with the doc, ask questions, heard the heartbeat (148bpm) and she measured my uterus. She said everything is looking good! I need to go in for my GD test anytime from 26 to 28 weeks I was told. Planning to do that soon so I can get it out of the way. My next US will be at 30 weeks and I can't wait!
GTKY (stolen from either Tues or Wed ticker change post)- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? My parents. They live the closest and will be watching/caring for our pup while we are in the hospital.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 25 weeks, the size of a cauliflower (which is hard to visualize!)
How are you feeling? Rants and/or raves? I'm feeling pretty good. Mostly just back pain and a little exhaustion.
Any doctor appointment news or other updates? Well as I posted in the daily thread, I was supposed to have one yesterday but my midwife had to go to a delivery. I didn't get much clarification on rescheduling and apparently have to wait until Monday for that.
GTKY (stolen from either Tues or Wed ticker change post)- Baby just arrived, who is the first person you call? Honestly we will probably have some "just us" time, but then me and my husband would call our parents and my husband's brother.
