  How big is baby? A mango

  Upcoming appointments this week?  We had my sonogram yesterday and found out we are having another little girl!!!

  Any new symptoms or changes? Nope...I'm grouchy, but that's probably not new. 

  Rants/Raves/Questions? Not that I can think of right now.

  GTKY: What is your favorite baby purchase so far?  If you haven't purchased anything yet, what are you most looking forward to purchasing? The little newborn clothes.  So tiny.  We had a quilt made out of my first daughter's little onesies, so I will do the same for this baby.

  Any new symptoms or changes? my boobs grew again.. and I think I am getting some clogged ducts I've had to massage some really hard spots out of one breast that past couple of nights

  
  

  Rants/Raves/Questions?  We are finding out the genders tomorrow! I'm excited and scared. I have them in an envelope and we have been waiting to open it until we can make some special memories together. Everyone says "how can you wait?!" and honestly.. I don't mind. I feel like once that envelope gets opened, everything gets super real. I'm sure it's all just fear.

  
  

  GTKY: What is your favorite baby purchase so far?  If you haven't purchased anything yet, what are you most looking forward to purchasing?

   two matching bassinette/rockers that I got from a twin mom at a mom to mom sale. they fold flat and have mesh sides but you can also raise the head incase they have any reflux issues.

  
  

  oh oh and I came back to add my stroller!! I'm totally in love with the double stroller I bought. It's called Contours Options and it's FANTASTIC. it steers like a dream, has stadium style seating to save room, folds flat even with the seats on and you can configure the seats backwards, forwards, opposite directions, etc. and it has great reviews from other twin moms. win!

  Any new symptoms or changes? HUNGER. Today I am seriously starving. I thought it was weird that up until now I hadn't really been ravenous like other people describe but today, I cannot. Stop. Eating.

  How far along are you? Officially half way! 20 weeks today

  How big is baby? The size of a banana

  Upcoming appointments this week? I have the anatomy scan this afternoon 

  Any new symptoms or changes? I have a mild cold which luckily I don't feel too terrible from, but along with that I've noticed I sometimes pee a little when I sneeze, so that part is just great...

  Rants/Raves/Questions? My husband and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary this past weekend, and I really can't believe this was the last anniversary we'll have as a party of two. As thrilled as I am about having a baby, it was a little bittersweet at the same time.

  GTKY: What is your favorite baby purchase so far?  If you haven't purchased anything yet, what are you most looking forward to purchasing? So far I've only purchased some clothes, but I've really enjoyed purchasing them. Baby girl clothes are so cute!

  How big is baby? artichoke 

  Upcoming appointments this week? not this week. AS Nov 4!

  Any new symptoms or changes?some hard kicks and flips! This is my favorite part of being pregnant

  Rants/Raves/Questions? I came down with a nasty cold other than that all is well

  GTKY: What is your favorite baby purchase so far?  If you haven't purchased anything yet, what are you most looking forward to purchasing? No purchases yet but a friend is giving me enough cloth diapers to get to potty training age- I couldn't be more excited. The same friends is also passing down a glider.

  Upcoming appointments this week? None next up is the AS at 20 weeks and I think I'll find out the gender at that time!! 
   

  Any new symptoms or changes? Some relief from morning sickness! I also mostly only want fatty foods now, like peanut butter or cheese...
  
  

  Rants/Raves/Questions? I was thinking today about getting a thriple stroller- does anyone have any experience with them? I have a double and it works so well having a seat for my toddler (who is able to walk unless she's having a meltdown/not listening, and then it's great to have a spot to buckle her down) but it is so bulky and hard to steer and id imagine a triple would be even worse? But I'll have 3 under 3, so they'll be in stroller ages for a while yet...
  
  

  GTKY: What is your favorite baby purchase so far?  If you haven't purchased anything yet, what are you most looking forward to purchasing? I haven't bought anything yet since we have a lot of what we'll need from previous babies. I do think I want another rock n play though (one for upstairs and another for downstairs) because they've been magic for my newborns! I also want a glider with a nursing stool!

  Upcoming appointments this week? Biweekly cervix check on Thursday, keeping my fingers crossed all will still look good!

  Any new symptoms or changes? like @gracie4400 I also now pee a little bit sometimes when I sneeze...yay

  Rants/Raves/Questions? It feels like summer again where we live and I love it

  GTKY: What is your favorite baby purchase so far?  If you haven't purchased anything yet, what are you most looking forward to purchasing? I actually haven't purchased anything yet, but a few weeks ago an old coworker bought a little boy outfit for us after we told everyone we're having a boy. I know it might seem weird/ungrateful, but I really wanted the first outfits we get to be something DH & I pick out & buy ourselves for the baby. She did include a gift receipt, so I've been thinking of exchanging it (since it's definitely not something either of us would've bought) but feel a little bad about it at the same time - is that rude of me? I really was most looking forward to purchasing his little clothes & tiny onesies representing our alma maters (DH & I went to rival colleges so I'm sure we'll each try to put him in our respective school colors any chance we can haha).

  GTKY: What is your favorite baby purchase so far?  If you haven't purchased anything yet, what are you most looking forward to purchasing? I purchased some clothes a couple weekends ago because Carter's was having a sale. My mom bought a rock n play that she got at a mom 2 mom sale, practically new. I have also received a lot of slightly used clothes from friends who have girls which is greatly appreciated! Looking forward to buying things for the nursery and putting that together

  Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: I swear this pregnancy is messing with my skin. My face is red and splotchy and nearly every morning, there are new tiny pimples. It wasn't like this before I was pregnant. Rave: But on the plus side, I've noticed that my hair is really looking fabulous lately.

  GTKY: What is your favorite baby purchase so far?  If you haven't purchased anything yet, what are you most looking forward to purchasing? I think it will be clothes for him. I was meandering through Target recently and the Cat & Jack line is adorable.

  How big is baby? Baby is the size of a mango or - wait for it - an adipose!!! DW fans, anyone?
  
  To top it off, LO seems to be moving and shaking like one!  
  

  Upcoming appointments this week? AS next week!

  Any new symptoms or changes? Last week, I had issues with breathlessness, palpitations, and just this Sunday I had near fainting spells after delaying breakfast. LO must have been applying pressure to my veins and has since moved, because I have had zero issues the past couple days. Even my bladder has been very cooperative. The calmest it's been most of this pregnancy. (I'm still getting up to pee 1-2 times a night, BUT I'm not having the frequent urge to pee during the day at least.)

  Rants/Raves/Questions? I've been feeling flutters for the past four consecutive days now! LO is either most active or most noticeable when I get up to walk around after sitting for a period of time. He/she is also active shortly after eating; today I've begun feeling flutters even while sitting. 

  GTKY: What is your favorite baby purchase so far?  If you haven't purchased anything yet, what are you most looking forward to purchasing? I'm really looking forward to owning the HALO bassinet that we registered for. It just seems super sweet and convenient and the way I'd envisioned co-sleeping with baby. We'll also have a crib ready for when he/she is ready for the nursery. I'm excited to get going on selecting that as well. (I'm really big into sleep, if you can't tell!)

  Upcoming appointments this week? I just had an apt with my midwife yesterday but also have my anatomy scan next week! Im so eager for the reassurance that LO is healthy! 

  Any new symptoms or changes? Braxton Hicks .. like a lot! 

  Rants/Raves/Questions? Hate to rave about it but I can't believe what a breeze this pregnancy has been for me compared to my first. Already almost half way and I haven't had much for symptoms. 
  
  

  GTKY: What is your favorite baby purchase so far?  If you haven't purchased anything yet, what are you most looking forward to purchasing? I purchased a summer infant wood bassinet, it came in yesterday! Oh and I've also purchased a Braun thermometer that I always wished I had for my daughter and never got around to buying it, but cursed myself every single time she's been sick.. so that's going to be exciting!
