25 weeks. Cauliflower. Next appt is still 3 weeks away - 1 hour GD test.

Just so so hungry all the time and the weight gain is slowly creeping up on me.

I hope baby gets DHs patience and my determination.

How big is baby?

Chinchilla

When is your next appointment?

Nov 9th

Symptom changes?

I'm no longer waking up _every_ night from 3-4am just to lie there. It's only every other night or so. Also, I feel the kicks on my bladder like crazy. Kiddo needs to aim somewhere else!

Rant/Rave/Questions?
Just that the Dr at our organ screening, when I told her that I woke up every night from 3-4, wrote down "suffers from anxiety". Lady, no. I just wake up and am no longer tired for an hour. If I have an anxiety episode, I'll know. This is not that.
GTKY: What is one personality trait you want baby to get from you and one you want them to get from your SO?

I'm creative and flexible. I hope she gets that from me. SO is super smart and diligent and just knows how to talk to people. I hope she gets that from him.

How big is baby?

Kale (some times they pick weird vegs)

When is your next appointment?

Next week I need to do the glucose check blah.... that will suck

Symptom changes?

Breathing is even harder and bending over to get things is harder.

Rant/Rave/Questions?
So sunday, I ate a big dinner then I tried to sit down to grade papers and I could not breath! It was ridiculous, I had to stand for a while till I finally could breath when I sat down. It was sad... apparently I do not have enough room in my body for both a real baby and a food baby.
GTKY: What is one personality trait you want baby to get from you and one you want them to get from your SO?
My drive, when I put my mind to something I can accomplish anything.
My husband, his intellect, things come so easy for him, he just gets math and can memorize a huge amount of information by just reading it once.

How big is baby? Guinea Pig or Coconut

When is your next appointment? Today at 4:30! Just regular OB checkup.

Symptom changes? Just more pains really and I'm already starting to find moving around is getting a bit more difficult.

Rant/Rave/Questions? It's our 1 year anniversary today! We were going to take a couple of days and do a mini anniversary/babymoon getaway but with all the house stuff not being settled yet we decided we are going to a nice dinner at a new Italian restaurant downtown.

GTKY: What is one personality trait you want baby to get from you and one you want them to get from your SO? I hope he gets my determination and DH's intelligence.

How big is baby?
A cantelope

When is your next appointment?
Next Tuesday

Symptom changes?
Feeling Good!

Rant/Rave/Questions?
If I hear "Are you sure there is only one in there" or "woooow February is a long way away..." 1 more time I'm going to punch someone.

GTKY: What is one personality trait you want baby to get from you and one you want them to get from your SO?

From me social skills! Which my daughter already has! It's so fun to watch! DH does not always have them

From him - A love/passion/tallent for music. His brothers in a band - he played with them for awhile. They both sing wonderfully! I like music, but I'm tone def! Loved theater when I was younger but my lack of music abilities hindered it.

Vastra · October 2016

How far along are you? 25 weeks today

How big is baby? As long as my friend's dog's rubber chicken chew toy

When is your next appointment? Nov. 7: Cardiology (echo) and OB

Symptom changes? Excess saliva is getting a little crazy, and I keep choking on my own spit.

Rant/Rave/Questions? What is with people seeing the bump and then immediately regaling me with the pregnancy/baby/delivery horror story that happened to their husband's friend's cousin? Especially at work. I've lost count of times I've heard "oh look, you're pregnant! Here's this horrible thing that happened..." NO. I didn't even want to hear that shizz when I wasn't pregnant.

GTKY: What is one personality trait you want baby to get from you and one you want them to get from your SO? From both of us, an appreciation for music (even if she chooses not to sing or play an instrument). I also hope she gets my memory and DH's logic.

srscott3 · October 2016

How big is baby? Coconut!

When is your next appointment? Next Tuesday, the 25th. Regular OB appointment

Symptom changes? Really high BP since Saturday. But tomorrow is the 2 year anniversary of my assault and I think I'm just extra stressed out about it because I know tomorrow is when the statute of limitations runs and my rape kit will be thrown away.

Rant/Rave/Questions? We currently live in a one bedroom apartment, but will be moving to a house in June. So Hannah will be in our room for the first 4 months. There's still so much to clean out and get ready, but I think I'm procrastinating because I don't have to set up an actually nursery. I realllyyyy should start doing something though!

GTKY: What is one personality trait you want baby to get from you and one you want them to get from your SO? I hope she gets my sass and drive and DH's amazing heart and patience.

I am soo sorry. I really wish they changed rules about statute of limitations.

srscott3 · October 2016

Thank you @skiingstark I wish that too

MrsDramaK · October 2016

How big is baby? Size of a hatchet head

When is your next appointment? Friday.

Symptom changes? I'm sleeping like crap so I'm so exhausted and the peeing is constant as is the thirst.

Rant/Rave/Questions? I got nothing.

GTKY: What is one personality trait you want baby to get from you and one you want them to get from your SO? I hope she gets my sense of humor and my husband's athletic ability.

A grapefruit! YUM!

No appointment until end of the month

Lots of movement. Definitely beginning to get uncomfortable.

We leave for London tomorrow!!!!! So excited!!!!!

I hope he gets my passion and my husbands chill-ness. I know those are opposites, but it's what makes us a great couple. I imagine if you could combine those qualities in one person it would be awesome. Passion when you need it, but the ability to be calm and chill and approach the world that way.

Vastra · October 2016

@srscott3, stay strong! So sorry that happened and that you have to have those thoughts in your head. Hugs.

krob · October 2016

yes @skiingstark take care of yourself these next few days. It's really good you can identify your triggers. thinking of you.

skiingstark · October 2016

I think you guys mean @srscott3

krob · October 2016

Yuuuupppp @srscott3 sending you love.

But you you can take some love too if you want it @skiingstark

Patience7150 · October 2016

@krob have fun in London!!
@srscott3 Thinking of you this week...

How far along are you? 23 weeks

How big is baby? A grapefruit! Which I don't know how a grapefruit is almost a foot long and 1.1lbs, but whatevs. Another site compared it to a box of mac n' cheese, which has been a huge craving of mine this pregnancy so...I think I'll eat that tonight in honor of the babes!

When is your next appointment? Tomorrow - regular check up with OB. Had our A/S last Friday and everything was normal. I love normal.

Symptom changes? Baby is sitting really, really low...like pushing to get out low. It is uncomfortable. Also, acid reflux is baaaad.

Rant/Rave/Questions? I generally do 10 squats in the morning to get the blood flowing and do minimal stuff to tone leg muscles. I decided to start upping this since I've heard the more squats you can do, the better for natural labor. I did 20 yesterday...and could barely walk this morning from pelvic floor muscle soreness. I used to squat with 50lbs, and now I can barely squat with just myself.

GTKY: What is one personality trait you want baby to get from you and one you want them to get from your SO? My SO's inquisitive personality, and my ability to adapt to change. From both of us, our love for the outdoors.

I did not realize that, hmm may start adding squats in my morning.

OOPS! Indeed. Edited. And yeah, you can have some hugs too. But this week she gets more.

fourPsinapod · October 2016

@srscott3 hugs!! Love you!

glitterdragon-2 · October 2016

25 weeks! Cauliflower.

Next Monday.

Not really, still eating like a hobbit with second breakfast and soupsies and all that.

This is mine and kiddos second cold in as many months. I'm soooo over being sick. At least kiddo does not have croup this time (that was terrifying). Lots of couch sleeping for us. It's cooler and DS only wants to sleep when held slightly upright. It's reminding me of when he was a newborn.

I hope this potato gets my sense of humor and my SO's never ending patience.

@srscott3 Thoughts are with you tomorrow, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that.

srscott3 · October 2016

Y'all are the very best

thank you for all the love

FreshBakedBrownies · October 2016

I'm a little behind catching up on this week's posts, but thinking of you @srscott3.
Wishing you peace and strength and all that. But mostly wishing this never happened to you, and evil like that didn't exist!

Rachelbd · October 2016

I'm late but still wanted to participate!

How far along are you? 21 weeks on Wed.

How big is baby? An endive, apparently. Which I don't think I've ever seen in real life.

When is your next appointment? I have an ultrasound follow up (and Dr apt following) on Nov 22nd.

I had my A/S this week, and apparently have a low lying placenta, which needs to be monitored to see if it resolves or if it becomes full on placenta previa and will require a C-section, so I get an extra ultrasound in a month.

Symptom changes? I am out of breath constantly. I am having a hard time getting up and down, or bending to pick things up. I have also been getting a racing heart, and having MAJOR light headedness and dizziness, feeling like I'm about to pass out. I even left work early because of it the other day. I told the DR and he said to keep a symptom journal to go over next appt just in case, but that it could just be "par for the course' of pregnancy. fun.

Rant/Rave/Questions? This whole possible placenta previa thing is kind of stressing me out. I am really hoping it resolves and I don't end up on bedrest and having to stop work early, because 1. it's kind of scary and a pain in the a$s 2. we can not afford to go that long without my income. 3. it squashes any hope I had for a VBAC. also, not being able to have sexy time is tough.

GTKY: What is one personality trait you want baby to get from you and one you want them to get from your SO? I would love for the baby to get my creativity/love of learning, and my husband's amazinf work ethic.
