    How far along are you/fruit or other comparable size? 
    27, rutabaga

    Rants, raves, symptoms:
    Talked about these both in the symptoms thread but: Pain down the front of my right leg/thigh when I stand up is loads of fun. And my nipples have turned brown.

    Anything baby-related this week?
    Nope, next appointments are next week.

    GTKY #1: If I could change one thing about this pregnancy, it would be:
    The utter lack of energy. If I didn't have to take breaks from what I'm doing so often, or feel the need to sleep so much, it wouldn't be so bad.

    GTKY #2: The one celebrity I'd love to meet at Starbucks for coffee is:
    I know it was my own question, but it's hard. Right now, probably one of the girls starring in Broad City (Ilana and Abby). I laugh so damn hard at that show. Or maybe Amy Poehler.

    GTKY #2: The one celebrity I'd love to meet at Starbucks for coffee is: I think Melissa McCarthy would be awesome to meet in person! We went to NYC a few years ago and got tickets to the Jon Stewart Show and saw her there when her movie Tammy came out. She's just so funny and seems like an awesome person.
    Oooooh yes, Melissa is a great one! I just saw Spy a couple weeks ago, she is so hilarious. I love that she's headlining so many movies now.

    @jlmartinez517 At my last appointment my Dr. Mentioned I was measuring big also. she said if I was still measuring big at my next appointment then she would do an ultrasound to check on baby's size as well. It must be pretty typical she didn't seem concerned about it just another double check on baby.

    How far along are you/fruit or other comparable size? 28w coconut or an eggplant 

    Rants, raves, symptoms: Back pain is at an all time high, insomnia is really starting to work on me. Oh and I'm fighting a cold which is super aggravating 

    Anything baby-related this week? Nope, next check up is the 22. 

    GTKY #1: If I could change one thing about this pregnancy, it would be: Being pregnant and living through another renovation- I'm over it and it's adding to my anxiety ten fold. 

    GTKY #2: The one celebrity I'd love to meet at Starbucks for coffee is: I don't really gush over celebrities, well I guess if you count musicians then it would be a few people in country music.

    27 weeks; head of lettuce, bunch of bananas, a fennec fox

    Rants, raves, symptoms:
    Sinus congestion and pain. Was up every 30 mins last night to sneeze and blow my runny nose. Hip pain while sleeping, but overall still lucky to be feeling good.

    Anything baby-related this week?
    Had an OB appt yesterday. Baby is measuring big by 1-2 weeks ahead, which is funny because I haven't felt like my bump is that big. My doctor gave me a ultrasound script to check the size of the baby...has anyone else had to do this?

    GTKY #1: If I could change one thing about this pregnancy, it would be:
    Nothing so far, but ask me in a few weeks/months haha

    GTKY #2: The one celebrity I'd love to meet at Starbucks for coffee is:
    Hmm good question, there's so many for different reasons! Scott Foley or James Marsden because they're so hot and would be fun to look at, Will Ferrel or Tina Fey to laugh with, and maybe Chrissy Teigen or Adele to talk about food and babies and gossip!

    I would be VERY Leary of the results of an ultrasound to check size. They can be off by as much as 20%. Which makes a huge difference in something as small as our babies. My daughter was measuring the opposite, very small. I had an ultrasound, ultrasound "confirmed" small baby. They told me to be prepared for a tiny 4-5 pound baby. Fast forward 10 days later to when she was born, 7 pounds 8 ounces. After her birth I started doing a lot of research on it. My current pregnancy was measuring 9 days big from 13-20 weeks. Then magically, at our 20 week scan had leveled out and was right on target. I, personally, take the size of baby in an ultrasound, with a grain of salt. 

    Dating ultrasounds in the first trimester are the most accurate. So if they mention moving up your due date, I would be very apprehensive personally. Especially if you are a first time mom or hoping to have a natural labor/delivery. First time moms, on average, notoriously go over a few days as it is. So bumping up your due date, could potentially cause unnessacary interventions later when "you're overdue" but in reality, you very well may not be at all. If that makes sense?

    @LDSJM123 Thanks for the info, it does help! During my 20 week anatomy scan/ultrasound, baby was spot on the day of growth. So I'm not sure what to believe. I also don't want to be stuck paying a bunch of extra money of this extra ultrasound isn't covered by insurance. Of course, we'll suck it up if it's necessary and pay for it if it will help the baby!

    28weeks, an Echidna (what a strange animal)

    Rants/Raves/Symptoms:  My right hip started bugging me something fierce last night so I've been trying to stretch it out. I'm guessing I overdid it a bit with moving and unpacking the last few days

    Anything baby related this week:  Next appointment is Monday with my doctor, still waiting to hear from the high risk clinic for another consult. They are starting to drive me crazy

    GTKY #1:  Nothing really, I'm so excited to be pregnant, I feel like it took forever to get here


    GTKY #2: Dave Grohl. I just love him

    How far along are you/fruit or other comparable size? Cauliflower, cabbage, baseball glove, and a prairie dog. 

    Rants, raves, symptoms:
    I am getting so exhausted at work. Can't sleep very well. I know it's only going to get harder!! 

    Anything baby-related this week?
    I just ordered my baby shower invitations. Sending them out early next week. 

    GTKY #1: If I could change one thing about this pregnancy, it would be:
    More leave from work. They only pay for 4 weeks then I have to use the rest of my time which will not cover the remaining 8 weeks off. Yay for not getting paid for close to a month. 

    GTKY #2: The one celebrity I'd love to meet at Starbucks for coffee is:
    I don't like Starbucks or coffee much, but I would love to meet Jimmy Fallon. He's my favorite.

    I've been MIA for a while. Pre-existing depression and anxiety have been rearing their ugly heads, and it's been quite a strain on our family. 

    How far are you? Fruit or other comparable size: 28 weeks and the size of an eggplant

    rants/raves/symptoms: ohh insomnia. I can't sleep. Also my ribs are on firrreee!!! I'm 5'2", so I get there is no where to grow but geez! I've been taking Epsom salt baths with lavender oil, which seems to help with the aching. I found out today I failed my GTT, so boo on gestational diabetes. 

    GTKY 1: if you could change one thing about this pregnancy what would it be? I want a complete do over! I've been pulled from work since New Years and that's been tough emotionally and financially. Then when things start looking up, something else crops up. But whatever it takes to have a healthy baby!

    GTKY 2: celebrity you would like to meet at Starbucks for coffee: Ewan McGregor!! But if he is unavailable, I will be more than happy to meet with James McAvoy or Michael Fassbender
