Re: *Tuesday Ticker Change*
What's going on with baby this week? A/S is in TWO HOURS!! I've been waiting for this, but I'm also so nervous. I've been feeling him kick a lot more (like from 4-5 am yesterday!) so that helps put me at ease though.
Rants/raves/questions? Rant is this stupid head cold I have. My nose is so runny and I am exhausted! Rave is that it's almost Spring Break--I just gotta make it until 2:30 on Thursday.
GTKY (stolen from the Monday mamas): with all our babies being born in summer, are you still taking any vacations/doing anything fun this year? Husband and I are headed to the Massachusetts Berkshires next week, which will be so fun! I've never been up there so I'm looking forward to just exploring, relaxing and enjoying our "babymoon".
25 weeks - cauliflower/prairie dog
What's going on with baby this week?
Just growing and growing. Last night he must have been hitting a nerve or something, because his movement hurt in one spot.
Rants/raves/questions?
Overall I'm feeling pretty good. Hips/back have eased up on me the last week, which means moving is actually a little bit possible. Sleep is hit or miss, but part of that is from the 2 year old.

Eh, life goes on. If it's feasible/enjoyable we will still be doing whatever we would have anyway. But, we usually vacation in the spring rather than summer/fall. So we will see what we end up doing. I told DH if I'm in the hospital for the 4th of July, he HAS to leave me there so he can take DD to fire works. I don't care if I'm in labor, I don't want DD to have to miss it this year, and I don't trust MIL with her in public. At home she's fine with her, but she frazzles easily and would not let DD enjoy herself.
24, cantaloupe
What's going on with baby this week?
Really feeling lots of kicks and movement -- finally! (Darn anterior placenta)
Rants/raves/questions?
Really starting to get uncomfortable and lots of lower back soreness. Thinking I'll buy a support belt. Starting to toss and turn a lot at night, too.

Planning on going to the local beach with family (my mom, sister and her family) in August, as we usually do. I hope baby will sleep some in the stroller as we take quick trips over to the pool/beach, which are a quick walk from the condo. I figure I'll still be on maternity leave, might as well go on vacay.
24... Garden eggplant, ear of corn, puffin
What's going on with baby this week? Baby's kicks are getting so strong. Few Braxton hicks contractions here and there. And of course I'm super excited that I've reached the viability age!
Rants/raves/questions? Not baby related but our offer on the house wasn't accepted and I'm super bummed. I just want to get a nice house and set up the nursery. I'm really in nesting mode but don't want to do anything in our apartment because I have no idea if we're staying there.
GTKY (stolen from the Monday mamas): with all our babies being born in summer, are you still taking any vacations/doing anything fun this year? My parents are going to punta Cana in September so I'm kinda considering that. Also may do a road trip to philly or somewhere relatively close. Nothing with a long flight though. Buying a house will probably tap all our money and my maternity leave is only 12 weeks.
23 Weeks. A barbie doll.
What's going on with baby this week?
They have taste buds! As a foodie, this excites me.
Rants/raves/questions?
I am feeling good. Giant boobs, cute belly, very itchy skin. No complaints. I'm also getting great workouts running to the bathroom every 2 hours.

We just returned from a long weekend in Virginia Beach and DC. It was wonderful. We are hoping to squeeze another long weekend somewhere n between now and delivery. Then we'll be just hanging out low key for a couple months after baby. We love to be on the go and exploring new places, so we are excited to have baby join along with us.
What's going on with baby this week? Growth scan tomorrow afternoon.
Rants/raves/questions? Passed my GD test and ultra happy about it. My gall bladder tried to kill me with pain last night- this is nothing new. I can't believe how close we are to third trimester.
GTKY (stolen from the Monday mamas): with all our babies being born in summer, are you still taking any vacations/doing anything fun this year? No we're not doing any vacations, maybe late fall we will go down to our house in Delaware for a beach weekend, but as of right now we're just hanging out and learning how to have a baby- lame but I think a vacation would stress me out this summer.
24 weeks; Eggplant, ear of corn, puffin
What's going on with baby this week?
Baby is flipping around in there and def feeling heavier against my bladder.
Rants/raves/questions?
Hip pain and insomnia are a pain this week, but overall I feel great! I need to schedule my glucose test - what week were you ladies at when you took yours? Also, this week is spring break from school so I'm tackling the nursery and loving it!
GTKY (stolen from the Monday mamas): with all our babies being born in summer, are you still taking any vacations/doing anything fun this year?
No, not this year with the baby and how much of a hit maternity leave will put on our budget. Next summer we'll look forward to a seven year anniversary trip just the two of us to Napa if to Napa if I get my way, and the South if hubby gets his way! We'll see
What's going on with baby this week? Nothing really this week. Next prenatal appointment is scheduled for next Wednesday.
Rants/raves/questions? Rants: I swear my boobs have doubled in size again just in the course of the past 2-3 weeks. I bought several new bras toward the beginning of this pregnancy, and they're completely weighed down. I think I need 1-2 cups bigger, plus a 42 instead of a 40! Raves: I got my first ever prenatal massage last night, and it was absolutely amazing. When she was working the knots out of my hips with her elbow, I had to grip onto the body pillow and try not to yelp, but the rest of everything was completely relaxing.
GTKY (stolen from the Monday mamas): with all our babies being born in summer, are you still taking any vacations/doing anything fun this year? We don't really have any plans, but maybe something will materialize. My parents typically take the whole family to Disney World every other year, but they haven't mentioned anything yet for this year. We usually go at the end of October. We took DS when he was 6, going on 7 months old, and he had a blast. I'm not sure how much a 3, going on 4-month-old would enjoy it, but I could see him still enjoying the complete sensory overload. DS will be 2-1/2 this October, and he LOVES Disney, so I would like to take him again - I think he'd go NUTS! Likely the trip will be postponed until next year, though, which makes finding vacation time away from work much easier!
22 weeks today! He is the size of a corn on the cob, a water bottle and a Guinea pig.
What's going on with baby this week?
Baby is doing well. Just had an appointment today and yesterday was the first day I saw him kick from the outside.
Rants/raves/questions?
I've put on a little too much weight. Trying to watch what I eat but I am being such a picky eater. Any suggestions for healthy snacks? I've been loving chocolate.
GTKY (stolen from the Monday mamas): with all our babies being born in summer, are you still taking any vacations/doing anything fun this year?
I am not taking any vacations because I have to save up all the PTO I can because I only get 4 weeks paid, but I have to get 8 weeks PTO on my own. Currently I'm only at 12 days so I've got a long way to go. It looks like I'll be not receiving a pay check for a few weeks. My family vacation with my boyfriend is usually the second week of August, but with the baby due on July 26th we aren't sure if we want to tote a newborn 5 hours to Myrtle Beach.
@setosh - check out our thread "mamas who want to slow weight gain"....there are a ton of ideas for healthy snacks in there! Personally, I love fruit, string cheese, carrots w/light ranch, greek yogurt, hardboiled eggs. I still eat chocolate but am trying to limit it and just be aware of how much I'm eating. I'm up about 25 lbs so far, most of which is from the 1st trimester when I had to eat to prevent nausea!
What's going on with baby this week? Nothing this week, just packing as we move in April to a two bedroom and then it's nursery time!
Rants/Raves: I love feeling him move. This weekend I've been really achy and tired but I think it's from pushing myself too hard at work
Gtky: We keep planning then cancelling trips. I think we will end up just having day trips around us with the moving and mat leave
