  • How far along are you?  17w

    How big is baby? A pomegranate 

    Appointment updates?  I have my full fetal next Wednesday 

    Any new symptoms or changes?  Well my weight loss stopped and my intense abdominal pain that was on and off for 2 weeks is gone.  I'm hoping LO is OK in there.  The next 7 days are going to be brutal!

    Rants/Raves/Questions?  This is that dreaded time of year at my company where we now don't see a corporate holiday until Memorial Day.  Ughhhhh

    GTKY: Do you have any personal goals for 2017?
    Helping DH get a new job!  That would be huge for our family and put a lot of goals in motion (eg selling our house).

    Appointment updates? Went in yesterday for my 16w appt at 16w6d, little guy was sleeping but hb was 138bpm and looked good.  Had a blood draw for the spina bifida protein and thyroid levels.  My anatomy scan scheduled for 2/2 with the doctor that started the practice (he does all a/s apparently)... I feel like it is a super late a/s as I'll be 21w1d but I guess that is better than too early, they should be able to see everything and all critical organs should be well developed by then so we'll have clear results.

    Any new symptoms or changes?  Starting to get tired again but nausea is a lot better, down to only 2 diclegis at night instead of 4 taken throughout the day.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Found out I have an anterior placenta... not too happy as I'm anxious enough as I don't feel super pregnant.

    GTKY: Do you have any personal goals for 2017?
    Just to get my house 'finished' as I am so ready to out of 'renovation mode' and be able to just enjoy our home, at least the interior, until we take on a major exterior project that will require civil engineers and all sorts of city permits... I'll leave that for 2018 or later.

    How big is baby? an artichoke 

    Appointment updates? met my new doctor last week. She's okay and I like the office because it is right next door to the hospital that I'm going to deliver at. My anatomy scan is 2 weeks from today! I can't wait to see what he looks like now. 

    Any new symptoms or changes?  just feeling more and more movement everyday. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Does anyone have any breastfeeding book or video recommendations? I'm going to take a class but I want to be as educated as possible. My older sisters never breastfed so I don't have anyone close that I can ask questions. 

    GTKY: Do you have any personal goals for 2017? 
    To become more organized. And also to get back into running after this bambino is born. 
  • How far along are you? 19 weeks, half way for me! What the what!

    How big is baby? A mango, almost 6 inches long. 

    Appointment updates? Anatomy Scan this next Monday along with a routine appt.

    Any new symptoms or changes?  Not really. This pregnancy is so weird and 100% different than DD.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Just raving about being able to see baby in 5 days!

    GTKY: Do you have any personal goals for 2017? 
    I want to work on self love, not judge others, and be more present. I also want to be more healthy.

    How big is baby? Today, a navel orange. Tomorrow - at 16 wks - an avocado.

    Appointment updates? Had my 16w appt. last night and it confirmed that I am going to switch midwife practices. I've had 3 appts. so far at my current practice and each time they have been rude, condescending and made me feel like an idiot for asking questions. Last night the midwife was also rude to my husband which, according to my husband, made me turn into an "Angry Mama Bear." But I'm sorry, there's no need to be rude to my hubs!!

    Any new symptoms or changes?  After feeling the babe move/flutter/tap a few days last week, I haven't felt any movement the last couple of days...is it it normal for it come and go like that?

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Aside from my above update about my midwife being rude, no real rants. 

    GTKY: Do you have any personal goals for 2017? 
    Get organized!!!
  • @acrose0226 I often found in the earlier weeks of feeling movement, I would go in and out of noticing and then not noticing.  Movement that I notice didn't become more consistent until around the early/mid 20 week mark for me with both pregnancies 
  • It's been so long since I've posted.  I had two weeks of company travel followed by a 12 day holiday break.  It's good to see y'all!

    How far along are you?
    16weeks... 2 weeks from halfway... how did that even happen??

    How big is baby? please see @Sirius37 post.  Bc that little thing is adorbs!

    Appointment updates? Routine appt later tonight.

    Any new symptoms or changes?  I crave all the citrus.  Bought my first thing of orange juice since probably ever.  The bump is small, but it's there.  I've also become a bottomless pit for food.  After being on vacation and then at my parents' eating out every meal, I'm nervous for my weigh-in tonight.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? I got to see my oldest niece (8.5) over the holiday.  While she specifically told me that the baby HAS to be a girl bc there are just too many boys (2 nieces, 3 nephews), she also gave me this gem: "Aunt Berg, you'll never believe this.  I eat steak now!  I really like it.  I'm like totally changed.  I'm a completely new Riley.  I'm pretty much an adult now.  I'm surprised you even recognized me."  So difficult to keep a straight face.

    GTKY: Do you have any personal goals for 2017? 
    To have a baby.  My birthday is in the beginning of this month and I have to say New Years is probably my favorite time of year.  I think it's cool that I get to start a new birth year with a new calendar year.  I love the fresh start thing, the positivity and hope, the optimism, it just gives me all the warm and fuzzies.  Normally I try to set realistic goals towards being a better human.  But this year I figured having a baby is an achievement in itself.  I'm also working on saving more money and budgeting and all that, but mostly I just want a healthy baby.
