Appointments this week? None till after Thanksgiving
Symptoms? Lots of baby kicks! (DH felt them for the first time!) And SPD, heartburn, exhausted, grumpy...
Rant/Rave/Questions? We did our Christmas pictures yesterday and announced the gender of Baby 3--it's a BOY! We are so excited!
GTKY: What are your Thanksgiving plans? Or, plans this weekend to get into the holiday spirit? Heading to my parents' and will be spending about 5 days there. Also having Thanksgiving lunch with my husband's family (all live in the same hometown area).
How big is baby? A banana or a mug of root beer, I think
Appointments this week? Nope, though I did get a call that they do want a follow-up ultrasound since they didn't get all the shots they needed at my AS last week, so I'll try to schedule that for the same day as my next appt in three weeks.
Symptoms? Pardon my language, but mother fucking heartburn. I finally gave in and started taking Zantac a few days ago, but even that isn't really keeping it completely at bay. Apart from that, most of the usual suspects of RLP, lightning crotch, insomnia, KICKS!
Rant/Rave/Questions? Nah.
GTKY: What are your Thanksgiving plans? Or, plans this weekend to get into the holiday spirit? Heading to my best friend's parents' house Wednesday-Saturday. Should be fun!
How far along are you? 20 weeks - is this real? seriously?! I am having a slight freak out today, how are we on the countDOWN now?
How big is baby? the size of a chocolate bar lol
Appointments this week? none
Symptoms? some kicks - mainly at night and she seems to be mostly on my right side. I pee all the time, I drink at least 100 ounces of water a day and yet every night when I get up to pee, I drink a bottle of water or sometimes two.
Rant/Rave/Questions? when is everyone doing a hospital tour? is 20 weeks too early to start thinking about this?
GTKY: What are your Thanksgiving plans? Or, plans this weekend to get into the holiday spirit? we are hosting thanksgiving at our house this year (about 25 people) because I am so tired of driving to 3 or 4 different houses on the holidays. It really sucks. This weekend was a big party for my moms 60th birthday and I was exhausted so taking it easy today and decorating our Christmas tree. DH is putting up lights on the house....he is super excited about this LOL.
@Taylor72 I haven't noticed anyone with the same due date as me! Did your date change recently? Or have I just been really obtuse until today?
Re hospital tours...I'm not sure when we went during my first pregnancy. I want to say possibly when I was around 34-36 weeks?? This time we are planning a big move at the end of Feb, so I'll be switching midwives and hospitals and everything, so I won't be doing a tour until at least 34 weeks. I think that's a good time to go, honestly, so things are still relatively fresh in your mind.
@KirstinH88 and @Blueberry85 thank you! 32-34 weeks sounds like a good idea and I think the idea of having things fresh in your mind.
@Blueberry85 I am just as obtuse as you if that's the case because I didn't notice either and kept thinking it was a bummer I wasn't due date buddies with anyone! Glad you figured out that we are!
Appointments this week? Nope, anatomy scan is scheduled for January 6, whoohoo can find out whether we're having a boy or girl!
Symptoms? Lower back pain keeping me from being as active as before. I pee 1231824 times a day.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I need to make sure I have a good book on hand for the glucose test. yuck, not looking forward to that.
GTKY: What are your Thanksgiving plans? Or, plans this weekend to get into the holiday spirit? We're flying out Thanksgiving day with our 14 month old to see the in-laws, and got our fancy outfits to take a family picture. I plan on setting up the tree when we get back. Getting the Christmas decorations out always get me in the holiday spirit, as well as buying a turkey to make for a party when we get back.
How big is baby? The size of an artichoke ~5 inches and ~5 oz.
Appointments this week? Nope.
Symptoms? Nothing to shout about... doing pretty well! Starting to feel her move/kick on a regular basis, mainly in the morning and in the evening.
Rant/Rave/Questions? For those who have had children or are further along, when did you DHs start to feel baby kick from the outside?
GTKY: What are your Thanksgiving plans? Or, plans this weekend to get into the holiday spirit? We are heading to my dad's house for Thanksgiving. Very much looking forward to it. He lives in a small Central PA town. Nice to escape the busy city life and spent a little quality family time in the country. Not to mention the food!
@theagrif I had an anterior placenta with DS, so my DH didn't feel kicks until 23 weeks or so.
How far along are you? 17 weeks
How big is baby? Pomegranate
Appointments this week? Tuesday- Just a regular appt. Anatomy scan isn't until Dec. 20th
Symptoms? Most have subsided. Not much heartburn with this one, unlike my last. I am starting to feel movement I love it!
Rant/Rave/Questions? I am so over being at work anymore. Complete burn out. I hope this doesn't last much longer, because I have some huge projects coming up.
GTKY: What are your Thanksgiving plans? Or, plans this weekend to get into the holiday spirit? Going to my mom's, which is right here in town. I'm so happy we don't have to do a lot of traveling, or going to 3 different dinners this year.
How big is baby? pomegranate, video game controller
Appointments this week? I have one today actually. Just a check up. My anatomy scan is 12/6
Symptoms? not too bad, some insomnia still, plus my lower back gets tight if I walk too much
Rant/Rave/Questions? I'm stressing about movement. I know it's not supposed to be consistent this early but I wish it was!
GTKY: What are your Thanksgiving plans? Or, plans this weekend to get into the holiday spirit? Going to make a delicious breakfast at home, watch the parade and then have dinner at my in laws. Also during the weekend, we are going to a fondue party, plus putting up our tree
