    How far along are you? 
    24 weeks

    How big is baby? 
    Cantaloupe 

    When is your next appointment? 
    Just had mine yesterday! So next one will not be till Nov 1st

    Symptom changes? Acid reflux still not going away and it gets harder to breath when I am doing a lot of talking in my class, I have to stop and just catch my breath from talking?! I feel like I am two pack of day smoker when talking makes me out of breath.  

    Rant/Rave/Questions?  I am officially at 200 pounds. This is the first time I have ever been at 200 pounds the number is freaking me out. I understand it was going to happen but still... I cannot help but freak out over that number. The good thing doctor said this is okay, since I did not really gain weight 1st trimester this is when I should be gaining weight during second tri. 

    GTKY: What is your favorite part about the holiday season? The food!! Hehe of course I write that on the same day I complain about my weight. I have issues....

  • How far along are you?  20 weeks, HALFWAY there!!

    How big is baby? A banana or Axolotl 

    When is your next appointment? Oct 19th

    Symptom changes? No real changes. I keep waking up at like 3am and not being able to fall back asleep until really close to my alarm time at 5:30. 

    Rant/Rave/Questions? I'm finally feeling movement! It's got to be one of the greatest feelings. It started later last week and at first I wasn't sure but it's gotten stronger and I'm sure now!

    @skiingstark I've been getting out of breath just talking too. I've been reading to the baby in the evenings and I have to keep stopping to catch my breath... I know I'm out of shape but jeez I should be able to read out loud without feeling so winded!

    GTKY: What is your favorite part about the holiday season? Like PPs I love all the food but I also love just spending extra time with family. I love giving gifts. I love seeing decorations all over the place. I can't wait to start making holiday memories with this little one!

  • How far along are you? 20 weeks today!!!



    How big is baby? Banana, but I really don't like that comparison because I haaaaate bananas.

    When is your next appointment? FRIDAY!

    Symptom changes? I did not know true RLP until this week.  It hurrrrrrrts.  Also, I'm starting to get achy during the night, especially in my back and legs.

    Rant/Rave/Questions? I'm just stupidly excited to be at the halfway point.  Finding out that you're pregnant on literally the first day it's humanly possible is great and exciting, but it's made the first half of this journey feel like a really long haul.  I'm looking forward to the big milestones in the next few weeks: A/S on Friday, viability day in 4 weeks and change, and entering the third trimester in 8 week.  It feels kind of like it's all downhill from here.

    GTKY: What is your favorite part about the holiday season? The weather around here is great - chilly enough to enjoy holiday things, but not so cold that you can't go outside and enjoy it.  I also very much enjoy getting two weeks off for winter break.

    How big is baby? 
    A least weasel!
    When is your next appointment? 
    Glucose test next week. Woooo...
    Symptom changes? 
    Nope. Still with the vivid dreams and the random waking up for an hour in the MOTN.
    Rant/Rave/Questions? 
    DD has been really good about the idea of a baby sister. Told me she would share her binkies (still needed at bedtime) with the baby when it came. When I showed her the US pic from the organ screen yesterday and said that was her baby sister, she looked at me: "where's the binky I gave her"?
    GTKY: What is your favorite part about the holiday season?
    Christmas markets! All the little stands selling handmade stuff, and punch, and "poffertjes". Yum yum yum to the mini Dutch pancakes...

  • This is probably a UO but I love Christmas music. I started playing it in my car halfway through September. 
    I love Christmas music for about a week when they start playing it after Halloween. Then I need to turn it off until the advent calendar days start.

  • @grapeskittles4lyfe yeah no I know I'm the odd man out in this. I get a lot of shit from my family about it (joking, of course). 
  • @GlitterDragon DH and DD love it so much, it's played in our cars year round. I love Christmas music but they're borderline obsessed haha!

    Rant/Rave/Questions? 
    Nesting is kicking in - MUST CLEAN THE HOUSE!!!

    We're really stuck on picking a name!

    GTKY: What is your favorite part about the holiday season?
    Family Time...Christmas Music and the food!!!
  • **Although I adore the season- No Christmas music or decorations until Black Friday!!**

    we celebrate the fall as well and decorate! It's hubbies favorite season.

    This! I'm so glad DH agrees with me. My dad would put up and turn on his Christmas lights sooo early and it drove me nuts! I am ok with putting the lights up early, sometimes in New England you get a nice day in early November so I get taking advantage of that, but you can't turn them on until Black Friday!

    19 weeks yesterday

    Baby is as big as a Mango

    My next apt is not until Oct 18th.  

    My appetite has mostly returned. However, this week I seem to be having an upswing of nausea and overall just stomach "ickiness". I have been sleeping like crap as well. Also, still feeling really emotional.

    Rants/raves: I am disappointed/worried that I have not felt any confirmed baby movement yet. I know it's still somewhat early, but this is baby #2 which everyone says they felt sooner, and I am impatient! It also makes my anxiety so much better when I can feel the baby moving around on a regular  basis!

    I am also having no luck with name choosing. My H and I can not agree on anything. Mostly, it's H just "hating" everything I like, while contributing pretty much zero ideas. Hopefully this little boy will have a name by the time he arrives.

    GTYK: I am absolutely obsessed with Halloween. It's my fave. I honestly couldn't care less about Thanksgiving, but also LOVE Christmas. I am ridiculous with buying presents for everyone. It makes me so happy! The best part though now, is seeing how excited and happy my 4yo gets about it all! He loves decorating/crafting etc. It's fun



  • @fourPsinapod sweet I'm not alone! It's just so damn jolly. Love it haha :)

    This is my 2nd as well and I've only really started feeling her kick in the past 6 or so days, so at 20+ weeks. Max.
