How far along are you? 23 weeks

How big is baby? Chinchilla or grapefruit

Any appointments this week? I meet my midwife next Thursday. (I thought it was yesterday, but I was wrong.)

Symptoms? My appetite started to increase this week. I have also started feeling baby a lot more this week.

Cravings? No specific cravings at this time. I still love salt and vinegar chips but I'm not eating them as much as I was.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I had a coworker try to touch my belly. I ran off and yelled, "No!" It may have been a slight overreaction, looking back. For someone to touch my belly, there's a certain level of comfort I need to feel with that person, and I don't feel it with her. My husband can touch me anywhere at any time. Other close friends can touch my belly.

GTKY: What is your ideal vacation? Are you a luxury resort type person or more of a camper, or something else? I grew up camping, but I prefer a nice hotel. My favorite vacation so far was my honeymoon cruise. It wasn't my first cruise, but it was my first to take over the age of 21. I don't drink, but it was great to have no age restrictions on what I could do. I loved how relaxed everything was. Other than our excursions, we did everything when we wanted. We ate when we wanted, napped when we wanted, and went to events and shows on the ship whenever something fun came around.

How big is baby? Papaya,Tarte tatin, head of cauliflower

Any appointments this week? Just chiropractor who said I'm doing good and baby is head down at the moment

If you don't see a chiro, I recommend it! Our bodies get so out of whack with pregnancy it's nice to get things back in order and she does things that eventually (supposedly) will help with labor. Plus, I really love her telling me what position the baby is in, haha.

Symptoms? Nothing this week! I've been eating smaller meals and I'm thinking that's helped with the indigestion and acid reflux. Am definitely having a harder time rolling over and getting out of bed. H laughed at (with) me last night as I propelled myself out of bed.

Cravings? Still having cherry poptarts for breakfast every morning. I know it's so not nutritious, but... I also have been having a Firehouse Sub tuna sandwich and salt n vinegar chips once a week for lunch. Oh, and rootbeer floats!

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm loving seeing baby make my stomach morph around! Yesterday I was getting a tight, stretchy feeling on the right hand side, it wasnt sudden, but rather lasting for a while. I assume just body stretching out?

GTKY: What is your ideal vacation? Are you a luxury resort type person or more of a camper, or something else? I just love vacation in general! We like to do big city trips like NYC or San Francisco where we see all the sights, eat at cool restaurants, and shop the local boutiques. Then I also love vacations where you do nothing but sit on the beach or by the pool. We went to Bali back in September and it was so nice at our one hotel to just go out to the beach where they'd bring us anything we needed. I don't mind camping, but have not gone in over 10 years.

How big is baby? Ear of corn, guinea pig, spaghetti squash

Any appointments this week? None coming up, but I had my follow up A/S on Tuesday to get heart views (all is well!)

Symptoms? So. Congested. I'm not sure if it's a cold or pregnancy congestion, but man do I miss breathing normally. I'm also super hungry, and eating while mouth breathing is incredibly attractive. It's quite the work out.

Cravings? Whole milk, orange juice, all of the foods.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing pregnancy related, I'm just disheartened over today's events. I won't fully rant about it, but will simply say that I intend to raise my sons to be nothing like our future president.

GTKY: What is your ideal vacation? Are you a luxury resort type person or more of a camper, or something else? Of those extremes, I'd say I'm more of a camper. Although I'd prefer a cabin with running water and real mattresses at this point in my life

My ideal vacation would be going to another country and immersing myself in the culture- high up on my list would be Iceland and New Zealand.

@kayemjay2 I've had 2 sinus infections in the past month. You never realize how much you appreciate a clear nose until you dont have one! Stay away from your milk craving if you can as dairy makes all that worse. Sudafed!

That's a good point about dairy. I think I can resist milk...but ice cream....I don't know if I can say no...hahaha

How big is baby?
A cauliflower or prairie dog,

Any appointments this week?
Had one yesterday. LO is doing great, midwife said HR was high side of normal at 154 but nothing concerning considering how much baby was moving in there. LOs heart rate has been consistently around 152/154 the entire pregnancy thus far. My BP is back to my usual low normal range. It was higher than my normal at our last appointment so it was a relief to hear that it's back down to normal. And my fundus is still measuring a few weeks ahead at about 27 weeks.

Symptoms?
Leg cramps, really sore tail bone, movements, and finally no more morning sickness!

Cravings?
Nothing crazy, just the usual healthy food cravings I've been having. I'm not complaining

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rave: No more morning sickness! I've been off my morning sickness medication for one week now and I've been doing great! Finalllllllly.

GTKY: What is your ideal vacation? Are you a luxury resort type person or more of a camper, or something else?
We go camping quite often, it's not really a vacation for us as much as it is a hobby. So I would have to say my ideal vacation is definitely a luxury resort, on a beautiful beach somewhere in the tropics with drinks that just keep refilling.

nda_roxybabe · January 2017

@roper2617 She said the HB was high? My baby's HB has pretty much always been at least in the 150's... at my appt. last Friday the Dr. said it was great at 155!

roper2617 · January 2017

@nda_roxybabe I thought it was odd that she said high side of normal too. I'm not worried about it, it's always been in the 150s as well.

How big is baby? Coconut (I'm really into coconut water right now, oddly enough.)

Any appointments this week? Let's hope note. I've been pretty ill this week, so if things don't turn around I might need to see an MD, but nothing scheduled.

Symptoms? Pregnancy wise I'm feeling the baby more, and I love it!! Hard to get out of bed (I understand the propelling, I pretend I'm a ninja.) RLPs, good sleep is hit or miss. I'm ill and so the nausea and vomiting is back with a vengeance, not fun.

Cravings? No, just aversion to almost everything. But I will say the only thing truly palatable to me is eggs, fruit, and coconut water. So it could be worse for having no appetite.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Why do I keep getting sick? This is my second major illness this pregnancy. I was just getting better with the morning sickness (so jealous @roper2617 that you're off meds and doing great, but congrats!), and now I'm running to the bathroom all the time again. I've missed the whole radiant, glowing pregnancy myth this whole pregnancy.

GTKY: What is your ideal vacation? Are you a luxury resort type person or more of a camper, or something else? Either, honestly. Though for camping, I'm prefer somewhere with running water/toilets. Ideally, though, it'd be something in the middle-- not luxury, but just a great place. I would love to go to Europe or somewhere interesting like Australia. But I'd also take a trip to a US city. Love the idea of another cruise @MollyandD. I'm not picky when it comes to vacations.

@nda_roxybabe Sounds like body stretching. And you made me want a tuna sandwich.

@roper2617 I don't think 150 is high. I measure fetal heart tones in the ED and I'm fine to find 150, even 160's. Especially with it moving. Seems odd she said that was high, maybe she just meant "upper" range of normal?

@kayemjay2 Yes, the breathing! It's probably pregnancy related, but still take care of yourself so it doesn't become a cold!

How big is baby? grapefruit

Any appointments this week? None

Symptoms? Some leg/butt/back pain

Cravings? Not really, I'll randomly have something I'm really hungry for.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Darn anterior placenta is still a rant for me. I feel movement many times at night, but DH still hasn't felt anything. I'm looking forward to DH and DD being able to see/feel him.

GTKY: What is your ideal vacation? Are you a luxury resort type person or more of a camper, or something else?
Both? I enjoy going camping (in a cabin) and love a good resort vacation too. I think of resorts as more of a special occasion vacation and camping as more of a multiple times a year thing.

nda_roxybabe · January 2017

@jayandaplus They're so good right now! Mmm...

roper2617 · January 2017

@jayandaplus Oh no! I'm sorry the morning sickness is still happening for you. I hope you get relief soon. I had truely believed it was never going away and I'd just be sick my entire pregnancy then magically it went away, I have all the things crossed that this happens to you! Also, I think you're probably right with my Midwife's wording

How big is baby? grapefruit

Any appointments this week? yes, a regular check up!

Symptoms? Stretching pain

Cravings? Chocolate. 3 Musketeers all day every day.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Not really. It has just been a really long week.

GTKY: What is your ideal vacation? Are you a luxury resort type person or more of a camper, or something else? My ideal vacation would be anywhere with lots of things to see. I'm not really the type to just want to relax/do nothing on vacation. Also, my idea of camping involves a hotel room.

How big is baby? Grapefruit

Any appointments this week? Nope

Symptoms? Heartburn and frequent urination

Cravings? King cake. It isn't fair that I have to take my glucose test during king cake season. I'm setting myself up for failure.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm feeling lots of baby movement.

GTKY: What is your ideal vacation? Are you a luxury resort type person or more of a camper, or something else? I'd take either, but I do love a luxury resort.
