How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Sweet potato, dragon fruit or slingshot

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I think I felt the baby move! I talked about it a bit in the other thread in more detail. Looking forward to it getting stronger!

Questions?

GTKY: Favorite Easter/Passover/Spring tradition you look forward to sharing with baby? Just going outside and enjoying nice weather after a winter of hibernation!

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Least weasel, baby bok choy, pomegranate (baby is 10.5 inches--maybe a pomegranate has a 10.5 in circumference? I can't picture a pomegranate that has a 10.5 in diameter, so I am not sure about that one)

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Still having bump jealousy! I swear, I just look lumpy, not pregnant. I've definitely gained weight; it's just not in a cute bump shape. On the rave size, I got some pregnancy jean shorts from Target this week--very comfy! I like them better than the ones I tried on from Old Navy. Also, baby is moving more and more, which is great! I was at my parents' this week and mom asked if I had felt the baby, and I said I'd been feeling her for a while now, and she got mad and said, "Why didn't you call me as soon as you felt it?!" Oops.

Questions? Any STM+ on here? How long was it before your husband could feel the baby kick? I really want DH to feel it! So far, he's only been able to feel when baby pushed himself over to my left side and he could feel her head (or butt?) poking out(like the mixed pronouns? I hate saying "it").

GTKY: Favorite Easter/Passover/Spring tradition you look forward to sharing with baby? We always used to do Easter egg hunts at my grandmother's house, so I look forward to doing that with baby!

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Sling shot!

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Loving feeling the baby move and I cannot wait to see her move during our anatomy scan tomorrow.

One of my co-workers gave me this idea and I started it with our daughter. I bought her a Longaberger basket as her Easter basket and each year we leave it out for it to be filled. When she has a place of her own, I will give it to her as an heirloom.

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? They are the size of sweet potatoes!

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Feeling pretty good for the most part. Just fatigued and need to eat all the time! .. Also Im technically considered high risk with mono/di twins (identical/share a placenta) and with that they have a 15% change of developing twin to twin transfusion syndrome. My OB didn't seem at all worried or know much about it and I can't get into the specialist for another 11 days. The protocol is weekly or biweekly ultrasounds to monitor for this and I'm freaking out a bit because it'll be 3.5 weeks between my appts. No one seems that concerned besides other moms that have the say type of twins.. I'm a little frustrated today.

Questions?

GTKY: Favorite Easter/Passover/Spring tradition you look forward to sharing with baby? I always like finding my Easter basket when I was little!

How many weeks today? 20! Halfway!

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Banana but according to our a/s this morning, baby is approximately 12 oz.

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Starting to get some leg pain near my butt muscles. It's time to seriously start yoga and keep on with the workouts now that I don't feel terrible all the time.

Questions? Any other STM+ that are hoping for a VBAC? Now that we have seen the anatomy today (but team green!) and know baby looks healthy, I have 20 weeks or less to obsess over whether or not I will (a) have cholestasis again (b) have a breech baby again and/or (c) have another c-section. But, still will be happy to have a healthy baby!

GTKY: Favorite Easter/Passover/Spring tradition you look forward to sharing with baby? Definitely egg hunts once our son is old enough, maybe next year! Will be fun to have both of them searching for eggs and Easter baskets eventually! Also, I really like to bake so will probably start some kind of brunch tradition.

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Least weasel, baby bok choy,baseball cap, pomegranate. I find all of these things to be different sizes maybe we just have small baby bok choy and pomegranates at my grocery store.

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Finally felt the baby move last night was a sizable jab on the lower left. (anterior placenta)

Questions?

GTKY: Favorite Easter/Passover/Spring tradition you look forward to sharing with baby? Growing up we always did a nice lunch and easter egg hunt looking forward to sharing this with baby.

How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Paper airplane

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Kicks are getting stronger and stronger! H felt one the other day, but since then our little peanut has developed a fun new habit of staying absolutely still whenever H is nearby. Poor guy.

I loved going on scavenger hunts for my basket when I was a kid

jamiesc58 · March 2016

@mmclark10 we have done Easter brunch after church for as long as I can remember. as a kid/young adult I didn't have to ever bring anything. Now it is my job to make the "night before" french toast. It is so good! It all gets put together Saturday night and we put it in the oven Sunday to bake. The others bring fruit, a breakfast casserole, juices, desserts, etc...

mmclark10 · March 2016

@jamiesc58 Mmm, overnight baked french toast is the best! I may need to do that this weekend!

I feel like it was at least 25-ish weeks before DH could feel my first baby from the outside. Toward the end it gets pretty crazy, though - you'll both be able to just WATCH baby from the outside. DH has a video of my belly doing a thing of its own toward the end when DS was outgrowing his space.

20 weeks! Halfway, baby!

How big is baby (fruit size or other)?
Banana sized

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms?
Round Ligament Pain--I can't walk anywhere quickly anymore. Baby is moving like crazy too. It's fun during the day, but I really wish this kid would let me get some sleep.

Questions?
I'm still having trouble sleeping on my side, even with a pregnancy pillow. Any suggestions?

Well, it's not Easter related, but every spring DH and I perform at our local renaissance faire. Last year was DD's first year debut, and she LOVED it. Can't wait to bring the little nugget next year.

We always go on an Easter egg hunt where we hide eggs, baskets and little gifts. Also, on Holy Thursday, we go church hopping.
