hippiemama-2 · October 2016

How far along are you? 22 weeks – WHOA!

How big is baby? A coconut (TB) / A water bottle (Ovia)

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope

Any new symptoms or changes? Ginormous, sensitive boobs, which oddly and maybe falsely gives me hope that maybe breast feeding is going to be more successful this time than with DD? Also sleeping comfortably is already not happening.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave: my cousin is in labor with her first little girl J. We’re not that close anymore due to very different life choices and serious distance, but I am very excited for her.

GTKY: What makes you happiest? Being around my family. I really love these people. Lately, more so than ever, when DD falls asleep I could just watch her for hours. She’s the sweetest, silliest little girl in the world, and I truly can’t believe how lucky I am to be her mom. I’m so excited for her to get to be a big sister, but a part of me feels scared that her time as an only child and sole center of our world is winding down.

Spartanrd4 · October 2016

How far along are you? 21 weeks

How big is baby? Endive

Upcoming appointments this week? No unfortunately

Any new symptoms or changes? I am having more swelling in my hands- they don't look swollen but my wedding rings are getting tight. Like @hippiemama I find myself uncomfortable sleeping sometimes, even with the snoogle. My rib cage span has increased- I had to go up a band size in my bra, cup size still the same for now (up 2 cup sizes from pre-pregnancy).

Rants/Raves/Questions? Just can't wait to feel the baby- I have an appointment in 2 weeks with my OB, if I don't feel anything by then maybe he can give me some insight on when I might with an anterior placenta...I'm just kinda going off what I've found on google and other bump moms who have one.

GTKY: What makes you happiest? Spending time with DH, snuggling with my cat on the couch and having girl time with my mom- She really is my best friend and we are super close and I hope I can have the same relationship with my daughter!

thisisallyson · October 2016

How far along are you? 18 weeks

How big is baby? an artichoke

Upcoming appointments this week? none

Any new symptoms or changes? Not really. Still haven't felt the baby move (or at least I don't think I have). Feeling pretty good overall. *knock on wood*

Rants/Raves/Questions? Maternity pants rock. Never have I felt so comfortable in clothes.

GTKY: What makes you happiest? Spending time with the people I love. Whether that is at home or out traveling the world, if I am with people I love, I am a happy girl.

Burrberrymum · October 2016

How far along are you? 19 weeks

How big is baby? Zucchini

Upcoming appointments this week? Anatomy scan on Thursday! Then my glucose test coming up as well.

Any new symptoms or changes? I literally don't even feel pregnant. I feel like my bump has gotten smaller. (Less gas probably ) I am however feeling bigger movements so that's reassuring.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I got nothing.

GTKY: What makes you happiest? Watching my daughter do something sweet, be polite, and when she says something so matter a factly at the age of 3, I just feel so grateful and happy. We've had our challenges being she is the most headstrong child I've ever seen (Her doctor says the same) so I just feel so beyond happy watching how great of a person she is becoming. (Then she throws her glass of water on her carpet because she's mad at me and yells "YOU ARE NOT MY BESTFRIEND ANYMORE!!!!") 3 going on 13, but she's quite amazing I swear!

OctoberLove13 · October 2016

How far along are you? 20 weeks!! Whoo half way!

How big is baby? Banana

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope

Any new symptoms or changes? Little bit of lower back discomfort

Rants/Raves/Questions? I felt baby kick for the first time two nights ago!! My doctor says I have an anterior placenta so I didn't expect to feel him yet but it was a definite kick. I also could feel him tumbling around last night. Maybe the placenta has moved up a bit.

GTKY: What makes you happiest? My husband, as cheesy as that sounds. He's seriously what keeps me sane.

gracie4400 · October 2016

How far along are you? 21 weeks!

How big is baby? The size of an endive

Upcoming appointments this week? Not until next week for a monthly check-up

Any new symptoms or changes? I've been getting random headaches lately but they seem to come and go. Oh Advil how I long for you...

Rants/Raves/Questions? I had my anatomy scan last week and everything looked perfect, but when the MFM found out my husband and I had been to Aruba in early May he asked that I come back every four weeks to have an ultrasound to check for zika-related complications. I know the chances of this are extremely unlikely because 1. I wasn't pregnant when we went, 2. Neither my husband or I remember being bitten by a mosquito while we were there and 3. We are very certain we didn't contract zika, but still I can't help but feel they are trying to scare me. On the bright side I am looking forward to seeing baby on the extra ultrasounds.

GTKY: What makes you happiest? Spending time with my husband, family and friends.

serenity13 · October 2016

How far along are you? 18 weeks!

How big is baby? artichoke

Upcoming appointments this week? nope

Any new symptoms or changes? just getting bigger haha not happy with the amount of weight I've put on so far (almost 20 lb

) but my boobs are huge also now, pre-pregnancy I had small boobs so I'm telling myself half of the weight has gone there!

Rants/Raves/Questions? hm nope

GTKY: What makes you happiest? Feeling like I've made a positive difference in someone's life, even if it's just making them happy temporarily - whether they're people or animals. I love volunteering at my local SPCA & spending time with the dogs and seeing the joy in them when they're out of their cages, even if just for a few minutes at a time, makes my heart happy. I'm a HUGE animal lover so spending time with animals (especially dogs) makes me happiest. And spending time with DH too haha

klz0330 · October 2016

How far along are you? 20 weeks!!! Halfway there. Freaks me out!

How big is baby? a banana

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope

Any new symptoms or changes? Nope

Rants/Raves/Questions? I can't sleep and it's driving me crazy. I just toss and turn. It's too early to be this uncomfortable.

GTKY: What makes you happiest? My DD. She is just amazing to me. My best friend. She's so funny, full of life, sincere. My heart! Also my DH and my family.

klz0330 · October 2016

@hippiemama I'm pretty sure we feel exactly the same way about everything! About breastfeeding...sleeping...AND mostly about DD not going to be an only child anymore.

dubcompanion · October 2016

How far along are you? 20 + 2

How big is baby? the size of a banana, or the size of a small cantaloupe... so which one is it??

Upcoming appointments this week? anatomy scan on Friday!!

Any new symptoms or changes? Nothing really new. LO was super active for almost a full week - it was like a load of clothes in a dryer was spinning day and even at bedtime - and now since last night, I haven't felt much.

I'm really trying to not worry about it, but naturally, I am.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I just want to feel an active baby again! The concern is making it hard to concentrate at work...

GTKY: What makes you happiest? Feeling LO move... also, seeing DH at the end of a long day. Sometimes if we've spent an entire lazy weekend together, I could use a break - and not because his personality has worn me down or anything - but because I've seen so much of him. It takes just some time away from him though to miss him and looking forward to seeing him again! #infatuatedforlife

GoldenTMama · October 2016

How far along are you? 22 weeks!

How big is baby? Coconut/a bag of 1/2 dozen bagels (that seems really large)

Upcoming appointments this week? none

Any new symptoms or changes? Finally got some bras that fit (long over due)

Rants/Raves/Questions? DH felt the baby kick for the first time this morning!! It is all starting to feel so real!!

GTKY: What makes you happiest? Like @thisisallyson being with the people I love makes me the happiest.

DrillSergeantCat · October 2016

How far along are you? 24 weeks

How big is baby? cantaloupe

Upcoming appointments this week? Anatomy scan and geneticist tomorrow

Any new symptoms or changes? My pelvis hurts constantly.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant - my OB won't do anything for my pelvic pain even though it's pregnancy related. She wants me to go see a primary care physician. I'm already seeing 2 doctors for this pregnancy and I don't really have time to add a third, possibly a fourth if they want me to do PT.
Rave - my husband has been so good with this. He does the grocery shopping and he picks up and carries the LO for me.

GTKY: What makes you happiest? my son's smile when I pick him up from daycare and the smile on my husband's face when he comes home.

babyspice · October 2016

How far along are you? 19 weeks

How big is baby? mango, 4 toed hedgehog

Upcoming appointments this week? not this week

Any new symptoms or changes? the wonderful acid reflux, also I am peeing 5 times a night.... I thought that was supposed to slow down during 2nd tri? Apparently LO likes my bladder based on all the kicks I get there

Rants/Raves/Questions? rave: seems like things are falling into place easily as far as work after the baby is here. Also once my lease is up I have an opportunity to buy a car cash- looking forward to not having any car payments and being 100% debt free.

GTKY: What makes you happiest? The volunteer work I get to do with my family

jenny0228 · October 2016

@dubcompanion I was feeling a lot of movement as well and haven't felt much for the past couple of days. Freaking me out, but at least we have our scans this week so we can be reassured!! I'm sure it's just fine!

How far along are you? 18w (+1, I'm a day late!)

How big is baby? artichoke

Upcoming appointments this week? anatomy scan TOMORROW!

Any new symptoms or changes? not much, but as mentioned above, I was getting used to feeling movement and now haven't felt much in a few days, or if I have, now I'm not sure if it was gas or baby.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I had terrible m/s early on, and finally stopped taking the diclegis. I was nauseous on and off for a week or so after stopping it, and randomly puked a few times, but now am feeling like it's really totally behind me and happy to be off the meds.

GTKY: What makes you happiest? Spending time with family and my dog!

Liss_37 · October 2016

How far along are you? 18 Weeks

How big is baby? they are the size of a Sweet potato

Upcoming appointments this week? Anatomy scan and follow up on Monday

Any new symptoms or changes? lack of hunger and complete disinterest in eating, I literally have to force myself to eat pretty much all the time

Rants/Raves/Questions? I know it'll be super uncomfortable but I look forward to when I can feel these babies move more than I do. just for peace of mind

GTKY: What makes you happiest? knowing that my husband is still in remission and being able to be at this point in our lives together. two years ago I would have never even thought this life was possible anymore. I feel like we really did experience some huge miracles.

dubcompanion · October 2016

@jenny0228 I suppose I have felt *something* at times, just different from my "load in the dryer" sensations I felt this past week. Over the past 36 hours, I've experienced tapping, vibrations, dolphins... ::stops herself before she starts sounding crazy:: Pregnancy is just so full of SCIENCE!

Best of luck at your AS tomorrow!! Keep us posted!

jenny0228 · October 2016

@dubcompanion I know what you mean.. haha... i love the "load in the dryer" description!! Good luck to you as well on Friday! Can't wait to be breathing a sigh of relief!
