How big is baby? cauliflower, rutabaga, prairie dog, Napa cabbage, popped bag of popcorn
Appointments this week? nope
Rant/Raves? I feel baby girl moving around throughout the day. Also - we think we have one of our 2 baby girl names We are going to the hospital with 2 names and picking one when we see her! It'll be a surprise to everyone.
New symptoms? nope - just the movements.
GTKY: Favorite Snack? I love chips & dip - could be ranch, onion, taco dip. In fact I really want some tonight! ha ha. Also - I'm on an apple kick right now. We'll be making Christmas cookies this weekend, and I can't wait! All the ingredients are sitting on my dining room table.
Rants/Raves: just found out the job I thought I was going to have after baby no longer exists, I am unemployed and looking for work at the most awkward moment.
Any new symptoms or changes: stomach makes gurgling noises before I have to poop
GTKY: favorite snack: this week it's been apples, every week it does seem to change.
@disneybaby84 That is so awful, I'm sorry! My husband found himself out of work a couple of weeks ago (he still is actually...), but that's still different than job hunting with a pregnant belly. I'm sending you positive vibes for finding something that you love quickly!
@mecoats I really like your name idea! You can really pick a name that suits your little lady!
@jadkins17 Good luck with the glucose test! It scares me, too!
How far along are you? 24 weeks. Viability!!!
How big is baby? Cantaloupes
Appointments this week? Nope, next week on Monday I have a growth scan and cervix check. If everything goes well I move back to an every 4 week schedule.
Rant/Raves? I freaked myself out yesterday because I didn't feel Baby B move for the whole day. After lunch? Nothing. Dinner? Nothing. Eventually I whipped out the doppler, and he immediately started punching it! He was just being lazy. Being trolled by my own baby...
New symptoms? Extreme hunger. Yesterday, I literally could not stop eating. I drank sooooo much water, too. Fortunately I kept it healthy, but it is getting harder and harder to do!
GTKY: Favorite Snack? Carrots and hummus, or cottage cheese and fruit (mango, pear, or blueberries are my favorite), peanut butter toast, trail mix (craisin, dried cherry, cashew, and almonds). If I'm feeling less healthy I love Italian ice or a candy bar (Twix, Snickers, Heath).
@direwolfmini thanks for the encouragement! glad to know the twins are doing well. i think sometimes my naby tricks me by going spells where he doesn't kick as much and then he'll kick real hard.
@disneybaby84 - Sorry to hear about your job. I may be (by choice) looking while on maternity leave if I don't get this promotion I'm going for right now. I wish you much luck, and hope you find something that will suit you and your family.
@direwolfmini - Glad to hear your twins are doing well! About the names - I've wanted to do that since we found out we were expecting. I think we need to meet our little one before we give her a name, but DH is really set on this name that we chose, so I have a feeling this will be her name.
Appointments this week? Had an ultrasound yesterday and my placenta finally moved so it is no longer low lying! Yay!
Rant/Raves? I am terrified this baby is going to have its nights and days mixed up. Sleeps all day and is pretty much up all night.
New symptoms? Charlie Horses, soooo bad..
GTKY: Favorite Snack? I am also loving those little oranges!
@jadkins17 I did the glucose test yesterday. It isnt terrible but it is much harder to chug 10 oz of the drink in 5 minutes then you think... but i had the red one and it just tastes like an extremely sweet fruit punch.
How big is baby?: I don't know lol... cauliflower or something
Appointments this week?: glucose test in the morning... I was gonna decline but the midwife is bribing me with a possible attempt at a VBAC so... she knows me well.
Rant/Raves?: we had the worst week with our tenants appliances. Washer broke so we bought a new one. Then the new one will only stack with its own brand of dryer... my husband wasted his day delivering and installing and then finding out we're screwed unless we dish out another $1000- so $2000 total.
We are giving them our washer and dryer until the holidays are over and then bargain shopping for our own. We want the kids to have a Christmas.
New symptoms?: just huge.
GTKY: Favorite Snack?: I'm not snacking much lately and run out of space quickly.
If I had to choose maybe grapes? Or avocado on toast.
