21

What size is baby?
A vagina-looking endive, a baby boo choy, a least weasel, a baseball hat, or a large brioche a tete...whatever that is.

Upcoming appointments?
Not for another month or so.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Seriously, pregnancy, kidney stones, and daycare plague are like the misery-trifecta right now. Today just sucks.

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
None...pregnancy-wise things are pretty good. Even my RLP wasn't too bad yesterday after my run.

GTKY: Regardless of actually singing ability, what would be your go-to karaoke song?
If I had the pipes, something by Aretha Franklin, no doubt. With my current (non-existent) abilities? Maybe Cee Lo Green's F*ck You....I don't have his range, but I sure know all the words.

I posted on the other thread, but will go delete... but will first copy/paste this stuff first.

How many weeks? 23 weeks!

What size is baby? I feel like some of these have already been mentioned in past weeks, depending on what site I look at. But: bunch of grapes, chinchilla, barbie doll, buche de noel (in English... a yule log), papaya, grapefruit, honeydew melon

Upcoming appointments? Nothing this week, but do have one next week (another U/S (need better spine measurement) and monthly check up)

Rants/Raves/Questions? We did some early maternity pics on the 6th, and I got the digital album last night. They were with our wedding photographer, and she did a great job once again. However, although the pics are great... me? Not so much. I swear I forgot how to smile normal in the last year, as I usually don't have an issue with pics and looking normal in them - and for some reason squint my eyes too much lately, too. Just blah. Plus, I don't feel like I am looking really big for how far along I am yet, but these pics said otherwise (camera adds 10 lbs?!?). My face is so puffy and my legs ( I wore a dress that was knee length)... I can tell I haven't been working them out. So, if another couple had been in those photos, they would look amazing! I know it's all PG related, and I get that... just hard to see when I am one who has struggled with weight for so may years and finally found a good spot to be, gained some weight that I couldn't lose before we got PG... so I started off where I didn't want to be anyway.

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still get tired if I am really active for awhile (like walking around if doing errands on a weekend), but nothing horrible. Sciatica nerve pain is still there off and on. I finally see a slight darkening line on my belly!

GTKY: Regardless of actually singing ability, what would be your go-to karaoke song? Shoop by Salt-n-Pepa. I can't sing, so any song where you somewhat "rap" is great in my book. I have done this one many times with friends, and it's always a hit! After that... "Baby Got Back" and "Ice Ice Baby".

How many weeks? 23 weeks

What size is baby? An ear of corn

Upcoming appointments? Next Monday

Rants/Raves/Questions? Holy Moley my hormones/tude the last week. I felt bad for DH

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Craving for a gyro. Sadly not any for at least an hour

GTKY: Regardless of actually singing ability, what would be your go-to karaoke song? Oh geez. Maybe something by queen or the Beatles

cayaylonglegs · August 2016

How many weeks?
24 weeks!

What size is baby?
cantaloupe, eggplant, puffin, GI Joe, and a half of baguette

Upcoming appointments?
glucose test in two weeks. Blah

Rants/Raves/Questions?
i am a mess. DH is nice enough to say I'm just being extra sassy/feisty, but truth is I've been a legit CUNextTuesday.
My rave is despite my terrible attitude I had a wonderful baby shower and birthing class his weekend. DH even took me to the Disney store (which I have never been to) and bought baby Anastasia some new Disney gear.

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Well my baby shower was at Cheesecake Factory and I had been thinking about pineapple upside down cheesecake for weeks. Wouldn't ya know they aren't currently carrying it. This banana creme one just isn't the same..

GTKY: Regardless of actually singing ability, what would be your go-to karaoke song?
Disney songs are my usual go to, esp. I'll Make A Man Out Of You from Mulan and Under the Sea from Little Mermaid. If I am legit singing though, Tina Turner's Proud Mary.

temmetime · August 2016

How many weeks? 23 weeks

What size is baby? A large grapefruit or mango

Upcoming appointments? Not until August 31st.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I wish my sex drive would reappear.. I feel bad for DH between the mood swings & minimal action between the sheets. Poor guy. Also, one minute I'm an OCD freak about cleaning and organizing and the next I don't have energy to even get off the couch. I think LO is growing.

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Anything and everything pumpkin. I made pumpkin pancakes this weekend and I wish I had a stack in front of me. I am making fall happen early in our house

GTKY: Regardless of actually singing ability, what would be your go-to karaoke song? I would have to go with Whitney Houston. Such talent gone too soon!

KatieJo1205 · August 2016

How many weeks? 24

What size is baby? An ear of corn or a cantaloupe

Upcoming appointments? not this week

Rants/Raves/Questions? I am not loving the other doctors in my OB's practice. I've had a couple encounters that have left me really not wanting to deal with them. Has anyone else had this issue? If my doctor isn't available to deliver my baby for whatever reason I really don't want one of the other doctors in her practice called. I'd honestly rather have a random doctor do it. I'm trying to figure out if/how I should discuss this with my doctor.

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Symptoms - gallbladder flare up last week. I've never had problems before but apparently pregnancy can bring it on. As far as cravings - somehow everything and nothing all at the same time.

GTKY: Regardless of actually singing ability, what would be your go-to karaoke song? In my 20s I actually was a regular karaoke singer and won a bunch of competitions! Lol. Back then my songs were Broken Wing by Martina McBride, Bring Me to Life by Evanescence and Fever by Peggy Lee. But I haven't sang in 10+ years so I don't know what I'd sing anymore!

swhiddon33 · August 2016

@cayaylonglegs Shout out for the use of CUNextTuesday. SATC for the win!

How many weeks? 24!

What size is baby? My favorite of all of the possible comparisons is the GI Joe. DH was a HUGE fan of this information, too.

Upcoming appointments? Going to see the specialist again this afternoon. They'll check my cervix again and do a couple of growth measurements for Oliver.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Anyone else having bizarre muscle twitches? I've experienced the typical calf thing and the charlie horses or whatever but I'm talking about my lip area. Over the past week or so, I'll get a random Elvis Lip Sensation. Wuuuuuuut?

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I'll literally eat anything right now, except pizza. It's been my only aversion since day one.

GTKY: Regardless of actually singing ability, what would be your go-to karaoke song? What's Up, by the Four Non Blondes. Prepare yourself for my yodel. "Heeyy-eyy-eyyy-eyyyy!!!!"

cjt121413 · August 2016

How many weeks? 22 weeks

What size is baby? An ear of corn, a water bottle

Upcoming appointments? I have my check up next week.

Rants/Raves/Questions?Rave - we finally got a cool front! It's like heaven to not be in the 100s.

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? The back and hip pain started yesterday. It seems kind of under control today but I hope it doesn't progress from here.

GTKY: Regardless of actually singing ability, what would be your go-to karaoke song? This is a tough one. Maybe Pearl Jam Black, just because I like the song. I'd have to practice my high notes to sing the doo doo doo doo doot duh dooo at the end, though.

dmontgo · August 2016

How many weeks? : 22 weeks!

What size is baby?: Coconut, water bottle...

Upcoming appointments?: I don't have another appointment until next month...will likely be basic shizz.

Rants/Raves/Questions?: Rug and mobile get here tomorrow, then we will be DONE with the nursery! Also...finally watching the Killing Joke tonight. I hope it's not as bad as people say...it's my favorite graphic novel of all time. >.<'

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?: Still weird about grilled chicken. My cravings change every week, it seems!

GTKY: Regardless of actually singing ability, what would be your go-to karaoke song? Anything Pearl Jam. @cjt121413 I actually sang Black on the live karaoke feed at a con in May. I'm no Eddie Vedder, but I don't think I did too bad.

happygirl1013 · August 2016

How many weeks? 23 weeks + 4 days

What size is baby? spaghetti squash (I have no idea what that is, but that's what the app on my phone says)

Upcoming appointments? check in with OB 30 Aug

Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: I found out I have gallstones a week before I was pregnant after several visits to the ER, so I have to eat really low fat. I just want to be preggo and enjoy it with a bag of chips on the couch.

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Really intense lower back pain this week- can't wait for my prenatal massage on Friday that I've been planning for a while!

GTKY: Regardless of actually singing ability, what would be your go-to karaoke song? Living on a prayer (only in the company of my college girls and copious pitchers of beer)

ve304856 · August 2016

How many weeks? 21

What size is baby? Endive, Pomegranate

Upcoming appointments? I had my anatomy scan this afternoon

everything looked good, team green for the first time and it was so hard not to look or ask. I go to the Dr's on Thursday for the actual results

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing really. I'm liking not having heartburn, I had it really bad with my last 2. I'm hoping I didn't just jinx it

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I have been craving Chick fil a.

GTKY: Regardless of actually singing ability, what would be your go-to karaoke song? Anything country, mainly Carrie Underwood or Keith Urban

ea301 · August 2016

How many weeks? : 24 weeks!

What size is baby?: The Bump says a cantaloupe but I think that's a little large... I would never say a cantaloupe and a GI Joe are the same size.

Upcoming appointments?: I have my glucose test scheduled for 9/9 and a quick sono to check baby's growth! I'm excited that I get a bonus sonogram; I thought my next one would be at 32 weeks.

Rants/Raves/Questions?: Nothing at the moment besides a mini rant about this headache that just won't quit... so annoying!

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?: The headache is annoying, but besides that I feel really good! I had a gummy bear craving the other day, but besides that it's mostly wanting something spicy or something cold. Random!

GTKY: Regardless of actually singing ability, what would be your go-to karaoke song? Oh gosh, I have no idea. I've done karaoke twice and I sang Herman's Hermits "Henry the 8th" and some old Cher song...

Rants/Raves/Questions?
I slipped/fell Twice in the rain yesterday!! First time was on our front entryway; didn't fall down but slipped and slammed my elbow into a brick pillar. If that wasn't bad enough, 2hrs later I took the dogs out, they didn't want to get wet. Slipped in the deck and scraped/landed on my right elbow, tricep, hip, ankle :-(

Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Nothing too crazy. Eating more carbs/sweets than I should, need to reign that in

GTKY: Regardless of actually singing ability, what would be your go-to karaoke song?
Hmmm, I'll have to think on that!!
