How far along are you?
18 weeks
How big is baby?
Artichoke or a baby tribble (from Star Trek).
Appointment updates?
Nothing for another few weeks.
Any new symptoms or changes?
Not new but I haven't mentioned my boob stretch marks. I can sometimes imagine from the way they feel that I am forming new ones. I try to keep my skin from getting too dry, but I think the stretch is inevitable, especially from all the articles that say so.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm preprocessing what working and having a young baby at home look like and I'm already jealous of my husband that he will have more time with the baby because of his shorter work day and commute. On the opposite end, I am so grateful to have a husband who wants me to work and wants to parent his children. He has already talked about lessening his work week, if we have to, so someone can be home with the baby.
GTKY: What are you currently reading or your favorite book? (borrowed from the other groups. I'm getting less creative.)
I'm currently reading An Edible History of Humanity by Tom Standage. Its a non-fiction on how industry has shaped what and how we eat. I enjoy history, so I enjoy it, but I would probably call it dull for those who don't. My favorite book is Pride and Prejudice. I read it once every two years or so. Just watched Bridget Jones' Diaries last night on Netflix so I feel like I got my Pride and Prejudice fix for a little while.

Edit because I can never get "real vs fake" fiction straight in my head. Real. Its real = non-fiction.

How big is baby? Mango

Appointment updates? Can't wait til my Feb 1 anatomy scan/ultrasound

Any new symptoms or changes? It seems like every week I think "oh, this is what they meant by increased discharge" only to have to reset the bar the next week.

Rants/Raves/Questions? No rants/raves this week. Q: has anyone done/is anyone planning to do some freezer meal/snack cooking? What did you make, and how much? What did you like best when it came time to eat it? How far out did you make it?

GTKY: What are you currently reading or your favorite book? Well last night I flipped through "what to expect when you're expecting" ... again. I also have a non-fiction on Aristotle and plato's impact on western civilization that I've been trying to finish for 6 months. And I also have a queue of about 15 sci-fi books. I know once I start those it will be all I do, so saving them for when I leave my job in a few months.

How far along are you? - our expecting mother is 19+4

How big is baby? - a mango, or an adipose (Doctor Who)

Appointment updates? - She missed her anatomy scan, so it was rescheduled to Tuesday. Should know the baby's sex by end of day Tuesday!

Any new symptoms or changes? - She said her morning sickness was getting much better now that she's on nausea meds. I'm hoping she is feeling better and getting more sleep...poor thing!

Rants/Raves/Questions? - Nothing that I can think of

GTKY: What are you currently reading or your favorite book? (borrowed from the other groups. I'm getting less creative.) - Haven't been reading much more than fan fiction lately (I'm a total sucker for fan fiction), but I've just recently gotten into the Netflix original "Travelers"...so freaking good!

I have a nalgine bottle I try to drink two of every day. I typically don't like to drink from it, and its easier to take in smaller doses, so I pour it into a glass. If you're drinking other liquids, like tea or milk or soup, you can cheat a little.

@sejica. Hmm, I don't even think to plan/freeze meals with DS. Looking back, I don't know what we are or where it appeared from but I remember never stressing or worrying about it. We are about 75% -80 eat at home. Don't know if this is your first, but it may not be as necessary as you think. If you did, I would shoot for casseroles and large Italian dishes(lasagna, baked ziti). Get a lot ignore bang for your buck. Others who did stockpile might give you better advice than me.

I canNOT get comfortable at night. I can only sleep on my left side and even though I have a "pillow fort" I am waking up all the time.

GTKY: What are you currently reading or your favorite book? (borrowed from the other groups. I'm getting less creative.)
i love Fantasy. My favorite series is The Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind. I can also get sucked into historical fiction like "The Help" and "Secret Lives of Bees". I am currently reading a historical fiction "Water for Elephants" which I am loving. I crushed half the book in about 4 days.

A tall Starbucks frappuccino

Anatomy scan on 2/6
Any new symptoms or changes?
I think I have finally turned a corner with my nausea and vomiting! Haven't thrown up in 6 days! Wooo!
Rants/Raves/Questions?
got another yeast infection. Ugh. Doc said to use the 7 day monistat, which feels like an eternity! Other than that, no complaints.
GTKY: What are you currently reading or your favorite book? (borrowed from the other groups. I'm getting less creative.)
currently reading The Whistler by John Grisham, but I only read on airplanes (about 2 hours per week), so it's slow going.

alm52386 · January 2017

@mtvkv5 I have a yeast infection too. I used it for 2 days then skipped last night. Oops. I'll get back on it tonight.

How far along are you?
17 weeks!
How big is baby?
Pomegranate
Appointment updates?
Anatomy Scan on Feb 7!!!!!!
Any new symptoms or changes?
I've been taking a lot of tums. I have acid reflux at night and I'm super gassy! I burp SO MUCH! Plus random aches all over. Also have a mild yeast infection, as I mentioned above. Plus a cold. AND I'm 90% sure I've been feeling the baby move every evening for about a week. I wasn't sure before but now that I've felt the same thing around the same time every day I'm more convinced. No actual kicks yet though.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm so proud of myself for going to the gym 2 days in a row! I've been going in the resistance pool and walking and doing some squats and lunges in the water. Its' great!
GTKY: What are you currently reading or your favorite book? (borrowed from the other groups. I'm getting less creative.)
DH and I are reading The 5 Love Languages together. I also have the Ina May book.
I also love the Harry Potter books and have read them all probably at least 3 times!

lizerspitz · January 2017

Hey @krex! So glad your joining our June boards. I think you are on a different ticker change day though based on your EDD. I think you are on the Wednesday ticker change board, when your baby is a full week closer to your due date. I'd love to see you more though. My husband and I are talking about adopting our next children because of the emotional roller coaster that is trying to conceive after mc. I'm sure the adoption roller coaster can be just as bad, but we're talking about it very seriously.

How big is baby? No idea... I should be keeping up with this!!!

Appointment updates? I did an elective ultrasound last Tuesday and found out I was having a little boy! Went to the Endocrinologist Thursday and got fussed at for my blood sugars... and they increased my insulin at night.

Any new symptoms or changes? After seeing how much my little guy is moving, I am confident that I actually feeling him rather than it being my imagination.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I am aggravated because my paperwork says two different things... one has my due date as my last missed period, others have what the initial ultrasound said... So some paperwork says I am 15 weeks, other says 17... and I'd REALLY like clarification. I will definitely be asking at my next appointment.

GTKY: What are you currently reading or your favorite book? (borrowed from the other groups. I'm getting less creative.) I don't read.....

That's a pretty big discrepancy of edds. By this point they should be able to tell you what consistent growth looks like for your baby.

EmeraldNC · January 2017

@lizerspitz I agree. I haven't had another ultrasound since the initial one, and the next one is scheduled for 2/7 (my anatomy scan).
