Upcoming appointments? July 15 check up and GD test. I'm honestly more worried about the logistics of it than the test itself. I want to try to spend as little time at the office as possible.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I feel really good this week! I'm hoping to ride this out for as long as possible. My only complaint is the massive amount of discharge I get after sex.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I haven't been sleeping all that well (waking up at 3 or 4 and not being able to get back to sleep) but that's normal for me. It usually resolves itself in a week or two.
GTKY: Describe your personal style. Has it changed since you started dressing around a bump? I think my style is pretty boring. Mostly suits and dresses to work, jeans and tees/sweaters at home. I'm pear shaped with a small waist, so I've had to change my clothes a lot since the bump started showing. Most of my stuff emphasizes my now non-existent waist. Lots of flowy dresses for me!
What size is baby? Papaya.. This pregnancy is flying by!
Upcoming appointments? July 5th.. Got the glucose test. I'm glad my doctor lets me take it at home instead of waiting at the office.
Rants/Raves/Questions? My bump still kind of looks like a beer gut Ive always had a super flat stomach so I wish I would just look pregnant already!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Craving healthy foods so I'm happy about that!
GTKY: Describe your personal style. Has it changed since you started dressing around a bump? I dress very trendy but girly. For work I'm always in dresses and love heels. Since being pregnant, I've started adding belts to my dresses to try and emphasize the bump. I feel super cute in my work clothes because of this.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Still feeling good and feeling lots of baby movement!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Have to pee all.the.time. Craving sweets.
GTKY: Describe your personal style. Has it changed since you started dressing around a bump? Casual, mostly jeans or leggings and t-shirts. It hasn't changed now that I'm pregnant.
Upcoming appointments? July 11 I have my glucose test. July 15 I get my Rho(D) Immune Globulin shot as I am Rh-negative and hubby is positive.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I felt pretty good up until the weekend. I have been to the doctor and I have carpal tunnel and it's very annoying and painful at times. I have to wear a splint brace on my left hand and if the right gets worse, I will need another. Good news is it will go away after baby girl is born. I also saw her move from the outside this week! I was so excited to see that and didn't expect it till later on when I was bigger.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? No cravings or aversions. Just the above symptom and lack of sleep I get.
GTKY: Describe your personal style. Has it changed since you started dressing around a bump? I used to wear a lot of loose flowy clothing as it is comfortable and stylish to me. Now, I wear tighter tops to show off my bump. I am fascinated by the way the bump looks and wanna show it off.
What size is baby? Kinzley is the size of corn on the cob or an American Guinea pig.
Upcoming appointments? I have fundal height measurement on the 28th.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I know baby girl needs her sleep but I just want to feel her kick all the time.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Kinda gross but last night I full on leaked all over my SO during sexy time. All I hear him say is " my arm feels wet, omg is that your nipple juice?" it was both gross but funny at the same time.
GTKY: Describe your personal style. Has it changed since you started dressing around a bump? I love my bump, normally I dress with blazers, flowy dresses, maxi skirts, but lately I've been ditching my over throws and blazers to show off bump more. My dresses have become tighter for the same reason. My clothes have also become more comfortable like how did i ever wear anything other besides maternity pants.
SO and I have been together: 5 Years+ BFP: 03/10 First Baby: 10/20/2016
Upcoming appointments? I had my 24 week appointment yesterday (had meetings I couldn't get out of scheduled for today) and got to see baby in 3D. He's so stinkin cute! Due to me being AMA sand having placental lakes, I get an ultrasound (and lots of pictures!) to make sure baby is growing.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I have the worst case of pregnancy insomnia and what feels like a pulled groin. Sleepy and in pain-a great combo Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Cravings: Pineapple gummi Bears, teriyaki jerky GTKY: Describe your personal style. Has it changed since you started dressing around a bump? Yup. I'm a dress everyday type of girl now. This bump does not do maternity pants of any kind
Upcoming appointments? a boring one next week - have to wait another month for one with the GD test and apparently an immunization of some kind (no more ultrasounds scheduled unless there are problems)
Rants/Raves/Questions? I think of things I want to post or comment on and then forget them all. the. time.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? More insomnia last night - was up a few hours feeling my guts churning and managed to potty twice. This slowed digestion + smushed intestines combination is not a fun one.
GTKY: Describe your personal style. Has it changed since you started dressing around a bump? I'm so incredibly boring. I wear button-up shirts and slacks basically. Now I'm in maternity slacks, although most of my original shirts still fit. When I can't button them, I plan to wear maternity tanks under the unbuttoned shirts. This is for work (teaching college). At home it's t-shirts and geeky-themed men's pajama pants all the way.
@Ashleymn When I started reading about you leaking on your SO I thought you meant pee! That's a huge fear of mine, like I'm not going to be able to control it.
Scuba Steve is 20 weeks, I have no idea what size that equates to. We had our anatomy scan this morning and everything was fine, baby was measuring right on track. S/he was curled up against my placenta and it was adorable. We're faithfully team green still. Next appointment is July 6th for a regular MW visit.
I love finally being able to feel movement.
I'm craving sugars/sweet with an unholy fervor.
My style hasn't changed too much, tbh. I've always worn a combination of tight/loose tops and jeans.
