Re: Thursday Ticker Change - 9/15
24 weeks! Baby is the size of a cantaloupe or an eggplant.
Have you done anything this week to prepare for your baby's arrival?
Ordered some adorable prints from Etsy for the nursery, finished our registries, and emptied out most of the junk in the nursery because the dressers were delivered today! Can't wait to get them set up and full of clothes and diapers.
Rants / Raves / Concerns / Questions:
Insane heartburn lately. If the old wive's tales are true, this is going to be a seriously hairy baby. Also, occasional sciatic nerve pain and swelling in my legs and feet.
When's your next appointment?
Friday, 9/16, for a regular check up.
GTKY: What excites you most about your new baby?
I'm so excited to see what she looks like! My husband and I keep wondering whose hair she'll get, whose eye color, etc. We also can't wait to start some family traditions as a family of 3! I keep daydreaming about how I will read her Harry Potter to make sure she loves it as much as me!
I'm 24 weeks too! Yay due date samies! I have no complaints! Heartburn but meds take care of it. Certainly getting loose hips and sore tailbone bit with 4th pregnancy not surprising. To happen earlier and earlier!
I have done nothing to prep for baby #4
24 weeks! She's kicking and moving all the time now!
Have you done anything this week to prepare for your baby's arrival?
I started her mobile and set up her name on the wall. That's about it.
Rants / Raves / Concerns / Questions:
I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that I have 3 months before baby girl comes. That seems impossible!
When's your next appointment?
October 4th. Glucose test. YUCK
GTKY: What excites you most about your new baby?
Seeing DD and baby girl together.

My friends at work bought us the glider at a huge discount because their sister works at Wayfair, in love! Such a nice glider and for cheap!
Rants / Raves / Concerns / Questions:
Having sharp pains more frequently lately which is annoying but everything is ok so I'll attribute it to RLP and deal with it!
When's your next appointment?
Tomorrow... I must confess I totally missed my appointment on Wednesday so I had to reschedule... i blame pregnancy brain!
GTKY: What excites you most about your new baby?
I just want to see what he looks like so bad! I cannot wait to hold him!
23 weeks! Baby is moving around a LOT
Have you done anything this week to prepare for your baby's arrival?
Made plans for the hall bathroom renovation, which will hopefully start asap. And I think we picked out a crib. Otherwise I've just been tinkering with the registry and trying to narrow down the list of what we really need.
Rants / Raves / Concerns / Questions:
I've been feeling huge lately, but I think that's partially because I still don't have many maternity clothes and have been trying to squeeze into the few non-maternity clothes that still fit. It doesn't help that it's still pretty hot out so the maternity stuff I do have isn't quite right for the weather. And now I'm on a mission to make sure I've got options for when it finally does feel like fall.
And I still have some reflux and some hip/sciatic nerve pain. Plus Braxton hicks contractions have started. But I'll take all of that over the nausea from a few weeks ago!
When's your next appointment?
9/27 for a routine checkup with MW
GTKY: What excites you most about your new baby?
I mainly cannot wait to hold my baby! Also excited to find out if it's a boy or a girl and what he/she looks like.
21 weeks and baby girl is the size of an endive. We had the AS last week and got an unofficial "all good", just waiting for the official call from the doctor. It was great seeing her
Have you done anything this week to prepare for your baby's arrival?
I'd been putting it off, but I've finally started working on my registry! I know it's necessary but I feel kind of weird asking people to buy us specific things.
I also had a talk with my brother in law who has been staying with us. We agreed on a timeline for him to move out so I can use that room for a nursery. I'm really looking forward to getting started on her room!
Rants / Raves / Concerns / Questions:
Feeling ok overall. Still nauseous most days but it's not nearly as bad as it was. Something new this week: getting out of bed is becoming increasingly harder lol. My abs aren't what they used to be!
When's your next appointment?
October, I don't remember the day, for the glucose test. I'm not looking forward to it.
GTKY: What excites you most about your new baby?
I'm really excited to see what she looks like. We used a donor so it's going to be strange seeing features that don't belong to either me or my wife.
21 weeks! Baby is the size of an endive. Baby is able to cry in the womb now apparently and that makes me sad! Had my 20wk anatomy scan on Monday and as far as they can see everything looks great. Which was a huge relief. Started out as a twin pregnancy and lost one at 7wks so I've been on edge
Have you done anything this week to prepare for your baby's arrival?
No and I really need to get on it. We finally found out we are having a girl so now it's time to get in gear!
Rants / Raves / Concerns / Questions:
None really. Peeing a bit more, a few aches and pains but for the most part feeling ok.
When's your next appointment?
Next Thursday for a regular OB appt.
GTKY: What excites you most about your new baby?
Seeing what she looks like! And actually naming her once we see her!
23 weeks! Baby is about the size of a large mango. I am feeling the kicks getting stronger and more frequent throughout the day! He can hear loud noises in the outside world!
Have you done anything this week to prepare for your baby's arrival?
70% of what is in the nursery has been moved to storage or donated. Going to move the rest out in 2-3 weeks, when the baby furniture should arrive. Plan to have the nursery done by the end of November!
Rants / Raves / Concerns / Questions:
Been feeling good, very sleepy though. If I nap in the day, I can't sleep at night. Everyone tells me to enjoy as much sleep as possible. Yesterday morning though, I woke up to my heart racing. It was beating really fast like I just ran a marathon and it really worried me. It gave me an anxiety feeling for over an hour. Looking it up though, it seems it is common and unharmful. We have a 25% higher heart rate due to the extra blood, so it can result in occasional heart palpitations, which feels like the heart is fluttering or beating extremely fast. Baby has been kicking as normal so I feel it is not an emergency. Will bring it up to the doctor at the next appointment.
When's your next appointment?
October 4th. Regular check up and glucose test. Really dreading it!
GTKY: What excites you most about your new baby?
DH and I are sooooooo anxious to meet the LO. I am definitely curious about the color of the eyes. With our families, it could be brown, green or blue! But ultimately, I just can't wait to hold him in my arms.
22+1... Size of spaghetti squash and/or a coconut apparently. He is moving like mad! I can feel him from the outside now and that's my favorite. He's definitely a strong one.
Have you done anything this week to prepare for your baby's arrival?
Negative...as per usual. I reallllllly need to get on that. Lol... I looked up car seats.... does that count? Oh, and we went and looked at bigger cars so I think that actually does count too!
Rants / Raves / Concerns / Questions:
BH, tachycardia with the slightest exertion and raging heartburn are killing me this week. Zantac is my friend.
When's your next appointment?
Next Friday for a follow up anatomy scan!
GTKY: What excites you most about your new baby?
I can't want to see what he looks like. DS looked(/looks) like a spitting image of DD, only with more boy-ish features but the similarity is so creepy sometimes! I wonder if DS2 will be the same.
