  • How many weeks?
    18 weeks.  Not quite a month to go now for halfway!

    What size is baby?
    An artichoke. 5.6 inches but since its my kiddo, probably a banana by now and 6 inches. 

    Rants? Raves? Symptoms?
    I cant move in my sleep anymore without excruciating lower abdomonal pains near my two hernias. I try holding it in, not stretching, gently rolling, etc. its getting worse every night. 

    Questions/anything baby related going on?
    20 week ultrasound next week.

    GTKY: Mother's Day. If this is your 1st mother's day, what are you hoping to do to celebrate? If you are a STM+ what have you or your family done to celebrate you as a mom?
    We didnt do much for my first mothers day when I was 4.5-5 months pregnant (I'm sure I got cards and naybe we went to dinner or something). Last year my husband created a nice picture of me and my 1.5 yr old, almost digitized drawing like and lisred "10 things I love about my mommy" and filled it in with stuff my son would say for each category. I still have it framed at my office. The year before that we went for a large family photo with our 9 month old.

    What size is baby? Coconut

    Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going! Every day seems to go by slow waiting for another appointment or worrying that something could happen to the baby. But each week I look up and can't believe I'm over halfway already. I can't imagine how fast things will go by once she's actually here. For symptoms I'm mostly having really bad allergies, which pregnancy is making worse. My gums are also now inflamed and bleed easily. I'm still having some ligament and stretching pain and that sharper pain that I still can't figure out what it is. But other than that I actually feel pretty good.

    Questions/Anything baby related going on? My parents are coming this weekend to help DH and I build shelves in the baby's closet and in our storage closet downstairs. We live in a two bedroom townhome so we need all the space we can get. Also, our nursery furniture is here so they're going to help us set that up as well.

    GTKY: I'm a FTM so we won't be celebrating Mother's Day until 2017. If DH even remembers that is.

    What size is baby? A grapefruit... @searchingforameaning I've thought the same about several of these, but now I wonder if they pick the fruits by weight?! 

    Rants? Raves? Symptoms? I'm feeling lots of movement now and it's so much fun!! I'm still dealing with really painful sciatic nerve pain, but otherwise am feeling good!

    Questions/anything baby related going on? We had our reveal party this weekend (in the snow... the one day we plan a BBQ...) and that was a lot of fun!!! Now we're getting more serious about planning for the nursery and doing projects for baby. 

    GTKY: Mother's Day. If this is your 1st mother's day, what are you hoping to do to celebrate? If you are a STM+ what have you or your family done to celebrate you as a mom? We won't do anything to celebrate until baby is here next year... although I'm secretly hoping hubby will get me flowers or a card or something. We'll see!

  • How many weeks? 20!!! 

    What size is baby? Banana

    Rants? Raves? Symptoms? Feeling the baby move more!! Love it! 

    Questions/anything baby related going on? I have the anatomy scan/level2 ultrasound on Wed.! I'm so excited, but bummed my DH won't be able to attend due to timing.

    GTKY: Mother's Day. - I usually want to go on a date with DH for Mother's Day! So in a way, just time to relax.
