How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 24 weeks. Baby is the size of a Targaryan dragon egg (I effing love this size comparison)
How are you feeling? Rants/raves? Pretty good. Still tired. I've been getting sore a lot in my abdomen because I have a stupid cough that won't go away. Plus RLP is pretty bad right now. But overall I'm doing good and the newb is a mover.
Upcoming appointments or doctor news? Going in on the 24th.
GTKY- What is you favorite season and why? I like late summer/early fall where I live. We are almost always guranteed nice weather and I just love when the air starts to turn cold but the sun is still shining.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 28- a rollerblade
How are you feeling? Rants/raves? Lots of shortness of breath and achiness.
Upcoming appointments or doctor news? Going for my GD test in an hour and then my checkup. I can't remember, but I'm guessing appts every two weeks will start soon! How did that happen?!
GTKY- What is you favorite season and why? Summer!! I live in the upper plains- need I say more?
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 26 weeks! Head of Lettuce!
How are you feeling? Rants/raves? I feel good. Love feeling this little one kick all the time. Tired still, but not as bad as first tri. It's hard to get comfortable at times in bed, but not unbearable. I'm over my left side going numb in most positions, but it doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon.
Upcoming appointments or doctor news? Nothing until my next monthly ultrasound next Thursday!
GTKY- What is you favorite season and why? I loooooove fall in New England (grew up there). Long sleeve tees and jeans are my jam. Closest thing weather-wise in Florida is winter. So I am loving the weather here lately.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 25 weeks! Acorn squash @MamaNicoleof3 I love that you have rollerblade for baby size~
How are you feeling? Rants/raves? I feel really good at the moment. Besides RLP and a desire to poop that isn't happening I feel like I finally turned a corner on how I feel. I am trying to make the most of this time by getting out for walks etc. before it gets hard again.
Upcoming appointments or doctor news? Friday have a reg appt but today I am going to the chiropractor for an adjustment and also to set up regular massages which my insurance has agreed to cover! BOOM!
GTKY- What is you favorite season and why? I used to say fall but since moving to Illinois I will say Spring. After the cold winters and darker days it is so exciting to see flowers starting to come up and temps getting a little warmer and days longer. It is SO good for the mind!
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 24 weeks/cantaloupe or Targaryan dragon egg (love this, @fishwife799!)
How are you feeling? Rants/raves? Feeling good generally, but dry heaved a bit this morning. Seriously, I'll be very pissed if MS comes back. No thank you please.
Rant/Rave: Can't wait for the kitchen to be done, ranting because it's taking approximately 467 years to do. DIY is a double-edged sword, y'all.
Upcoming appointments or doctor news? Next appt 3/29. I guess my glucose screening is the same day? Idk. Midwife didn't say anything about it at the last appt.
GTKY- What is you favorite season and why? Fall is absolutely my favorite. I love the smell of dry leaves in the air and the zip from the chilly weather. Although, now that spring has sprung in the south, I freaking LOVE this time of year when the warmth is back, and everything begins to bloom!
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 28 weeks, the size of a coconut or echidna
How are you feeling? Rants/raves? I'm feeling pretty good still. It's getting tough to bend over/slouch/have a full on belly laugh. Other than that no real discomforts. I'm loving the movement and hiccups I love feeling those little limbs slide across my stomach.
Upcoming appointments or doctor news? I got news that I failed my one hour glucose test. So I go in for the three hour next week. Not looking forward to it and hoping I don't have GD, but with PCOS already I wouldn't be surprised if I have it.
GTKY- What is you favorite season and why? Used to be fall but after this winter I'm so beyond ready for SPRING!!!!!! I can't wait to get my garden going and take walks outside.

How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 28 weeks! Eggplant according to the bump, but their produce seems to be going backwards in size these past couple of weeks.
How are you feeling? Rants/raves? Feeling pretty good. I've started feeling some shortness of breath in the mornings, but other than that nothing too crazy symptoms-wise.
Upcoming appointments or doctor news? Going for my 28 week appointment tomorrow. I'm annoyed that my doctor's office skipped one of the parts on the healthcare provider form that I had to submit with my leave request, so I need to get an updated statement from them to confirm that I am in fact having a baby.
GTKY- What is you favorite season and why? In terms of weather, I love the fall. But I work at a university, so I live by the academic calendar, and the slow pace and freedom of summer can't be beat.
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 27 weeks/cauliflower
How are you feeling? Rants/raves? Feeling ok, overwhelmed by bathroom reno costs though (our water heater needs replacing too...$3,000 estimate to fix it and replace it with two 40 gallon tanks (or one 80 gallon tank) with a circulatory system because our plumbing is crap.
Upcoming appointments or doctor news? Nothing till next week.
GTKY- What is you favorite season and why? Summer...because sangria and gardening and now our little girl!

GTKY- What is you favorite season and why? Fall, for sure. I live in Texas so in the fall I don't have to worry about how awful and hot summer will be
How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 28 weeks- a coconut or eggplant depending on which app you ask
How are you feeling? Rants/raves? I've been feeling a little crappy in the mornings (thanks hormone shift). Had baby shower #1 over the weekend (and glad it's over). I'm definitely past the 'honeymoon phase.'
Upcoming appointments or doctor news? Glucose test and another anatomy scan on Friday.
GTKY- What is you favorite season and why? I've always loved fall- but I don't get to enjoy it as much since living out west. We don't get a whole lot of leaf changing in the desert!

GTKY- What is you favorite season and why? Spring/summer/fall. Hate winter!
@mkemommy I am sorry about your water heater. That is a sting! I used to work for a construction company and 80 gallon seems excessive? Why do they think ye might need that size for a household? Ours is banging a lot lately so we know we are on borrowed time too and just hope we might get another year out of it. Our Furnace is old as hell too so we are on tenderhooks!

Well the new tub we bought is a 6 footer. It is a real indulgence and the only thing I splurged on for me in the new bathroom. The tub can hold around 120 gallons of water (not that we will always use or fill it to that) but I think they recommend a hot water heater with 2/3 of the capacity of your tub. Our old water heater just started leaking so we would have had to swap it out anyway with a new one anyway. The cost of the extra heater is about $500-600 but the plumber is giving us a break on installation at least because he's already installing one for us. I really wish I had fully thought this through when buying such a big tub but I'm sort of glad I didn't know otherwise I don't think I would have done it.
I know when we had to replace our central air system we replaced our furnace too with the same mindset...the furnace is going soon (it was really old but "technically" still working) but the installer cut us a major break on installing both at the same time.
Sucks but I think after this we will have replaced most of the major things in our house (furnace, A/C, new kitchen, new bathroom, etc.)...major ouch to the pocket book though.
Rants/raves/feelings: have been experiencing weird pressure which may be baby related may not. Had too many BH the other night so had to go to L&D to check on things. Baby looked good though!
Upcoming appointments: Monday I will go for 2 hour glucose, ultrasound to check to see if baby has moved away from its umbilical cord and to recheck kidney stone.
Favorite season: Fall fall fall I love the fall so much!! I love the crisp air, the leaves, the smells, the activities, I love it all. And I am so excited to have a sweet little baby in the house with us this fall!!
Sorry I didn't check in yesterday... crazy day. Just wanted to say happy V-day to @fishwife799, @crdo, and @Huskerfanz!
Also, @June2016BabyW, I have also been having some really uncomfortable pressure around my lower left abdomen and I'm attributing it to baby being turned weird. Hoping he/she moves before too long!
dennyandleeJune2016BabyW- I've been having the same pressure. It isn't pleaseant but I am also thinking he is just turned weird. Last night I had H lift my legs in the air to see if I could get him to move and it did seem to help, for about 10 min
