    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? 
    A grapefruit or
    The fertility idol from the first Indiana Jones movies.

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms?
    Had a little scare earlier this week when I wasn't feeling baby move but all is well. 

    Feeling lots of kicks, not getting enough sleep and having terrible baby brain issues.



    Questions?

    GTKY: have you started to prepare the nursery yet? Got a theme picked out or other plans?

    Haven't started nursery yet, it will be a nook in our bedroom that we now use for an office. There is currently a mural on the wall of a tree that I will add to.

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Nothing new, besides kicks getting stronger. Still can't wait for DH to be able to feel them.

    Questions?

    GTKY: have you started to prepare the nursery yet? Got a theme picked out or other plans? I've got it all picked out in my head, just a matter of actually starting on it. Lol.

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Baby flipped today and started kicking me right below the ribs instead of so low in my belly- don't know why, but it was exciting!

    Questions?

    GTKY: have you started to prepare the nursery yet? Got a theme picked out or other plans? Started to paint the furniture but am waiting for the grandmas to come help in two weeks. Once that's done, we can finally pick a wall and put the trees and forest animal decals up :)

  • How many weeks today? 20! Halfway woohoo! 

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

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I have my anatomy scan Monday and am soooo nervous. Praying for a healthy baby! I'm starting to feel little movements every so often which is so exciting! (I have an anterior placenta). 

    Questions?

    GTKY: have you started to prepare the nursery yet? Got a theme picked out or other plans? I have a theme in my head but haven't bought anything yet. I want elephants!
  • How many weeks today? 20w (halfway through!)

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

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms?  Little one still isn't letting me eat much. It isn't because I am nauseous, but because I am not hungry. I am also either incredibly thirsty or not thirsty at all. :/

    I have had some "flutters," though! Distinct thumps in that my lower abdomen.


    Questions?  Anyone else just not hungry or thirsty? 

    GTKY: have you started to prepare the nursery yet? Got a theme picked out or other plans?  Hubby and I figure on moving shortly before baby is born, so we have been having trouble picking a theme or anything for the nursery. We don't know what the space is going to look like. :(

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? A mango!

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? The back pain has really kicked in, I assume because my belly has gotten a lot bigger in the last week or two! I hope my muscles will adjust! Also, this week my feet started to swell. Not consistently every day, but they puff up at times and then go back to normal. 

    Questions?

    GTKY: have you started to prepare the nursery yet? Got a theme picked out or other plans? You wouldn't know if if you saw the room, but DH and I have done a ton of work in the last two weekends to make room for baby. Last weekend we had to get rid of a bunch of stuff taking up valuable storage space elsewhere in the house, so we did a big purge of stuff that went into the trash or to charity. This weekend we've been sorting out better storage arrangements to get more organized and store away things that we had just thrown into the spare bedroom. I think by next weekend that room will be a blank canvas of sorts, so I can get to the fun part of setting up the nursery! 
  • How many weeks today? 20, halfway!

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms?  Found out we are having a girl, so excited!!

    Questions?

    GTKY: have you started to prepare the nursery yet? Got a theme picked out or other plans? After our a/s we painted an accent wall in the nursery and I've ordered some decorations. We're not doing a certain theme just going to have animals, and light purple.

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Mango or a game boy

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I can now feel her movements every day. I feel her moving in the morning and at night. I think she is an active little thing! DH got to feel one little thump yesterday morning. No symptoms really other than this acne needs go away. 
    I can't wait for our anatomy scan next weekend! 

    Questions?

    GTKY: have you started to prepare the nursery yet? Got a theme picked out or other plans?
    We are moving at the beginning of June so I won't be doing anything until then. School will be done so I feel like I have plenty of time to get things ready. But I'm thinking gray/pink theme?

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? 
    I've been having really bad sciatica pain. I didn't have this with DS so this is a new pain. :smile: 

    Questions?

    GTKY: have you started to prepare the nursery yet? Got a theme picked out or other plans?
    We're supposed to be building an addition this spring/summer (a master suite and playroom) and this little lady will be taking our current room. Until we have a room, we can't really do much. I do know I want to paint her room purple. That's about it!

    I have my anatomy scan Tuesday and I'm 50% excited 50% nervous. I can't wait though.

    Questions?
    @satto_takai I can't relate at all, I've been hungry all the time this past week.
    GTKY: have you started to prepare the nursery yet? Got a theme picked out or other plans?
    I have a theme in my head, but haven't actually done anything yet
  • How many weeks today? 21w yesterday

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Pomegranate

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? RLP has been really bad these last two days, and I've been feeling exhausted again! I took a 2 hr nap yesterday which I haven't done since 1st tri. I was hoping I would get a reprieve until 3rd tri, but guess not!

    Questions? 

    GTKY: have you started to prepare the nursery yet? Got a theme picked out or other plans? We're living in a two bedroom house right now and are planning on buying a place early next year so for the first 4/5 months the baby will be in our room. I'm a little concerned about how this will actually work but I know it will be worth it when we finally own our own place! I loved getting DS's nursery ready so I'll have to find some other way to nest, like organizing and creating a nice little space for the baby in our room.



  • How many weeks today? 
    20! If I had to guess I'd say I'm almost halfway!

    Dh just felt the baby kick for the first time. Such an awesome moment! He's seriously the best dad... Love that guy.

    Questions?

    GTKY: have you started to prepare the nursery yet? Got a theme picked out or other plans?
    Ha. We won't really get a nursery due to living situation, and being team green I kinda got nothing for the poor kid!

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Having an 11 month old and being 21 weeks preggo is tiring when DH works out of town 16 days a month :(

    Questions? Has anyone weaned their babe while preggo?? Did you new milk come in fine for the new baby?

    GTKY: have you started to prepare the nursery yet? Got a theme picked out or other plans? Got the paint on the way home from the anatomy scan! One wall is navy blue, the rest are an off-white. Theme is vintage airplanes (baby is a boy)

    Questions?

    GTKY: have you started to prepare the nursery yet? Got a theme picked out or other plans? 

    This baby will inherit her older sister's nursery.  We've mostly redone the guest room for DD's "big girl room", but are moving her into there in May.  Once DD has been moved over, we'll set up the crib in the nursery, pull out the newborn clothes, and we'll be all set.  Walls are coral, with white furniture and trim.  Accents in pink, green and blue.

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Had some minor back pain yesterday but nothing really major. I am still pretty exhausted in the afternoon and hope the 2nd trimester energy comes soon!! Just got back from our anatomy scan where is was double confirmed we are having a girl (had NIPT done), all else looked good too!

    Questions? 

    GTKY: have you started to prepare the nursery yet? Got a theme picked out or other plans? We have started to prepare for the nursery. Currently our 3 year old daughter is in the room so we are clearing out our guest bedroom to transform that into a "big" girl room for her. Once we move her in there we can redo the nursery for the baby. I don't have a theme just a color scheme which is pink or coral, gold, and mint!

  • @Caileybug Facing the weaning thing how.. DD is 21 months and only nursing twice per day (if that.)  I was planning to wean at 2 years, if not go tandem, but 1. its really hurting. 2. She's just not as interested.  I'm not sure how it works when the new baby comes?  I guess your body just handles it??
