How big is baby? Artichoke. Also a Sugar Glider according to Ovia:
Appointment updates? Anatomy scan and regular check up on Thursday!!
Any new symptoms or changes? I have had some nausea the last two days. I had very little nausea in the first trimester so it better not become a regular thing. I have abdominal discomfort where I think baby is hanging out. My left boob hurts.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I CAN'T WAIT to find out the sex of baby on Thursday! I really hope he/she cooperates. We're going to try to do a little reveal just the two of us after work. We're going to go to carters or babies-r-us and pick out a boy and girl outfit and have the cashier ring up the correct one and put it in a gift bag I decorated. We're also going to have a cake, because all celebrations need cake. Hopefully all the docs/nurses can keep it a secret during my appointments on Thursday.
GTKY: Be selfish, what are you most looking forward to when baby comes and your body belongs to you again? I am looking forward to being able to lift at the gym without getting tired and worrying. I am also excited for my body to not get mad at me for eating certain foods. Alcohol, of course. Oh and being able to take ibuprofen.

How far along are you? 20 WEEKS! YAY for being HALF WAY!
How big is baby? Banana
Appointment updates?We have the anatomy scan tomorrow
Any new symptoms or changes? HEARTBURN-BOO!!!! Morning sickness is gone though....if its not one thing its another it seem like. Been feeling more movement which is reassuring
Rants/Raves/Questions? I never had heartburn with my first pregnancy. This is something totally new for me! I am going to be asking the doctor tomorrow what I can take and how much. I know i have a paper that says I can take Zantac or Pepcid but apparently they have different mg on each of those so I am not sure how much I can take.
GTKY: Be selfish, what are you most looking forward to when baby comes and your body belongs to you again? Being active and being able to sleep on my stomach!! And to stop running into things! I bump into everything right now
How far along are you? Just got back from doctor and I'm measuring 1 day ahead now, 20 weeks, 1 day. I'll post on the Sunday board next week.
How big is baby? 12 oz according to our ultrasound today.
Appointment updates? I went in for my 20 week appointment today thinking it was the anatomy scan, but the nurse told me they do that at 23 weeks. We still got to see our sweet girl though on ultrasound and everything is looking good.
Any new symptoms or changes? more growing pains and difficulty sleeping ...
Rants/Raves/Questions?
GTKY: Be selfish, what are you most looking forward to when baby comes and your body belongs to you again? WINE!!!!!! Although that will be delayed some after baby because of c-section + meds. I didn't have any till 2-3 weeks pp with my first because of this.

I had to speak to my doctor about my heart burn and I take one 75mg (the lowest dose) a day I can take up to two accroding to the box but I really didn't want to take anything but it was getting so bad that I did not want to eat at all! You can also take tumbs according to my doctor.
How far along are you? 18 weeks! How big is baby? a sweet potato Appointment updates? My a/s is on the 30th, so excited to find out if it's a boy or girl! Any new symptoms or changes? Worse leg/hip pain at night which is making it hard to sleep. Itchy belly to the max. Restless legs sometimes. Rants/Raves/Questions? Starting to think about all the stuff I have to get done/ready before baby comes and it's stressing me out. I made a list so I can check things off as I go. We've decided to definitely go for a VBAC if I go into labor naturally before 40 weeks. If not, or if baby is breech, it will be a repeat c-section. Glad that decision is made! GTKY: Be selfish, what are you most looking forward to when baby comes and your body belongs to you again? Sleeping on my back, Rum, and eating whatever the frig I want to while breastfeeding. Oh yeah and losing weight.

@danijo That reveal sounds adorable! @amberp1528 Thanks! I don't really want to take anything either but it is awful at night when I go to bed. I've actually thrown up a couple times because of it.....so I need something... I have taken tums and it does take a little bit of the edge off but doesn't go away completely.
@kdanjou Have you tried coconut oil for your itchy skin. I have awfully dry skin and I put a layer of coconut oil, then cetaphil then coco butter....it's helped me soo much! Plus they smell great!!!
