19+4
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to?
Hitting the halfway point and my next appt/US ON 6/21 to check on my boy's little kidneys.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I'm having what feels like a muscle cramp on the left side toward the underside of the bump. It's definitely closer to the surface and not uterine. Anyone else had this?
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food? I like raw spinach but absolutely HATE it cooked. Barf.

2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Regular movements and my A/S June 7!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I FELT THE BABY MOVE! There was just two like, taps, and I totally knew it was them and it was awesome!
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food? I hate meatloaf. I've tried lots of different kinds and never enjoyed it.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Getting this fetal echocardiogram over with this Thursday and confirming that babygirl has no heart defects?
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Was pretty disturbed to see a loss this far long. So I checked out the May/June birth announcements and they're great!
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food? Other than pregnancy-related aversions, normally sauerkraut
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? 20w5d anatomy scan!!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I absolutely love feeling Peanut move!! He's moving on a more consistent basis now, and also getting stronger and stronger. It gives me such relief to feel him moving around almost everyday now. Positive vibes to all as we get further into our pregnancies!! The loss posts really shook me recently, so even though I don't think I'll ever feel safe, I am really hoping that all of us have our happy, healthy babies in our arms in October.
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food? Anything with BBQ sauce. I hate the taste of it for some reason.
@MRSCORKER I have still been having cramping off and on, although I feel like my bump really grew over the past week!! I also feel non uterine cramps (more like pelvic or muscle cramps?) after I go on a long walk. I found a warm bath works wonders.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? feeling the baby move clearly and regularly
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I felt baby move quite a bit and then baby settled down about two days before my anatomy scan. The scan showed baby was fine, but I haven't been feeling baby much or as clearly, so it's a disappointing regression.
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food? It's not a preference so much as a tolerance, but I cannot handle any kind of heat from peppers, etc. People taste it and tell me it's not that hot, but no, if it's hot at all I can't eat it.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? still viability day. 3 more weeks!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: My back hurts from all the house projects we've been doing lately.
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food? Mushrooms. Blech. They tasted like mushy, slimy grossness.

2. Next milestone you're looking forward to?
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Scan on Friday and I'll be darned it IS a little person in there!
Also, nursery is as done as it's gonna get until post-shower

I don't hate ALL pizza. Just most overly commercial/American style pizza
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Viability day...3 more weeks!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Feeling LO move more regularly!!! I can't wait for DH to be able to feel it. Can't really do much more with the nursery until after my shower - I wish it would hurry up and get here already.
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food? Right now, leftover chicken. Normally I love leftovers but I have had a major pregnancy aversion to most leftover foods...especially chicken.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Anatomy scan in 9 days!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm definitely feeling worn out this pregnancy, more so than with my others. I've definitely noticed that I need to listen to my body and slow down or sit when I need to. It's tough because I just want to keep moving!
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food? Mushrooms are the worst. The other thing I can't stand now, that I didn't used to mind, is raw onions. Sautéed (or fried) are great. The taste is so strong raw.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Anatomy scan on 6/8 & viability!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Reading about losses this far along always makes me really anxious, but I also realize it can happen at any time. I try to think positively when anxiety starts creeping in, so I am super happy about feeling more consistent movement this past week.
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food? I have to agree with @lizzilou, mushrooms are disgusting!
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? AS on Monday 6/6 and just hitting the half way point!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Like a lot of us seeing a loss at the point has me a little freaked out. I've been feeling what I think are movements almost daily, but the worry is still there especially when I'm close to an appointment.
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food? Not a big seafood person, especially now the smell tends to turn my stomach!
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Hopefully passing the GD test with flying colors... and hitting viability!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: LOVE feeling the munchkin move around now! Can't wait until the hubs can feel it! Definitely provides just that extra bit of reassurance each day that all is well...
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food? In keeping with last week's answer, Peanut Butter! I try it once a year in hopes I'll like it now that I'm older, but I never do. From what I hear I'm missing out on SO much PB fun.

2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? My GD test on 7/11 and being able to feel more kicks on the outside. I felt two strong kicks this weekend, but didn't get to my husband in time for him to feel it!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm also down from reading about the losses, plus my cousin just had a loss that shook me up quite a bit. I feel terrible for her, so I'm just trying to really appreciate my own pregnancy and the great appointment I just had.
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food? This is a hard one for me b/c I love food, but I do try to avoid anything with "hash" in the title.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Anatomy scan tomorrow morning. Hoping for good news. Tomorrow will be the exact gestation I was when I lost my daughter, Claire in Feb 2014. So I am anxious and paranoid, with feelings of guilt because she didn't survive. Even though her brother is in my womb, fighting along so far, I still miss her badly.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I am still always sleepy. I had a loss dream over the weekend. I had a nightmare that we lost our son just like we did our daughter. It was so realistic and horrible. Now I am even more anxious.l
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food? I am not a big macaroni and cheese fan. I also despise milk. Cannot stand to taste or smell it. I know. I'm a weirdo.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Feeling baby kick on the outside so that SO can feel it too
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: love the fact that she's kicking and moving around more often
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food? liver ewwwwwww
@zuzu87 I've never had liver and I'm going to keep it that way. Lol
1. How far along are you? 21+2
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Feeling this little boy move! And second half of my anatomy scan. Everything they saw looked fine but they really didn't see much. Bugger was sleeping and wouldn't move. Lol
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Got the guest room mostly cleared out yesterday with lost of help from my son! Up next is painting it. Can't wait till it starts looking like a nursery!
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food? This is hard because I LOVE food. Maybe brussel sprouts? But even those I'm trying to find a recipe and try them again. Asparagus? But I've started eating them when they come with my meal, I just won't cook them myself.

DS Born 10/16/16
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Feeling baby boy move and knowing definitively that it is him
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: DH and I cannot agree on a middle name! He is a lot pickier than he lets on. I just want to start monogramming stuff! I go by the motto: if it doesn't move, monogram it.
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food? Raw onions, but I'm a big foodie so I'll try everything once and will usually like it

@RainMira9e Me too. I felt baby a couple weeks ago but nothing recently. It's really frustrating since this baby is such a wiggle worm. Lol
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? DH being able to feel baby move, along with more consistent movements, our next ultrasound at the end of June, and FINALLY (after weeks of nagging) being able to put our nursery together next week.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm with everyone on the PGAL brain train. Our loss was at 21 weeks, which just passed for us, so I feel like every week that passes now is scary uncharted territory. We went out of town for the holiday weekend to Vegas and it was HOT and there was a lot of walking and you betcha I took my doppler with me... and I used it.
Also... my vagina hurts? Usually when I stand up after lying down, so I think maybe it's blood flow, I hear it's pretty common, but DAMN! OUCH!
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food? I'm also a foodie and will try anything once, BUT I can't do really fishy tasting fish or offal meats like liver or sweetbreads or anything. I also have a pretty strong hatred for fennel seed. Blech.
Brussel sprouts are probably my favorite veg! Anytime I see them on a menu I get them and at home I love to roast them to get crispy with some shallots, garlic, and BACON!!!!

2. Next milestone you're looking forward to?
Viability is right around the corner! And so is the third tri! Crazy!!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I finally got my mudbench/storage unit for my laundry room for the kids to put their bags and shoes and jackets in! I went to ikea and bought what I needed, and then my husband added the rest to make it perfect!
4. GTKY: What's your least favorite food?
I'm not a super adventurous eater and I dislike sushi!
