How far along are you?
22 Weeks

How big is baby?
A coconut or sports water bottle

Upcoming appointments this week?
Nope, but I can't believe how soon I will switch over to 2 week appointments... eek!

Any new symptoms or changes?
Still having a lot of pubic bone/pelvis/round ligament pain, especially when I stand up.
Tons of discharge this week
Lower back pain to the max
Itchy skin around my belly button
Tons of baby movement

Rants/Raves/Questions?
I have been walking on the trail right outside my office daily. Yesterday the lower back pain kicked in about 3/4 of the way through my walk. Then shortly after I was back in the office I had severe back pain like a pulled muscle. I am pretty miserable still. This is the second time I have jacked my back up this pregnancy. It's really irritating

GTKY: What's the "strangest" food you've ever eaten?
This is a hard one. My grandma always fed me weird stuff when I was little that I wouldn't touch now. This includes liver and onions, chicken liver/gizzards, fried pork brain etc...

I also love to mushroom hunt in early spring and eat fried morel mushrooms.

Strange? Idk you tell me...

How big is baby? Coconut

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope

Any new symptoms or changes? Not that I can think of.

Rants/Raves/Questions? DD woke up three times last night and wouldn't go back to sleep. So I brought her to bed. Well, she has to be touching me so sleeping with the Snoogle just didn't work. I woke up with my hips just killing me. Gotta figure out a solution for if she's in bed.

GTKY: What's the "strangest" food you've ever eaten? At the top for me are probably: octopus, blood pudding, brain pudding, and some "mystery" sausage at a Mongolian restaurant while in China.

How big is baby?
11 inches

Upcoming appointments this week?
None for a while.

Any new symptoms or changes?
Starting to feel a lot of restlessness while trying to sleep. Even with my maternity pillow I'm turning a lot.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
We are having a little gender reveal party for our family and friends at a park this Saturday. I am super prepared, and have gotten everything together in advance. MIL still seems to doubt me because she keeps asking me what she can do. It's BYO picnic, so I asked her to pull together mine and DH's picnic for us so I have one less thing to worry about. I am holding my breath, because I have this sinking feeling she is going to show up with decorations and such, even though I told her not to. She already embarrassed me once at my bridal shower my best friend threw for me by bringing extra food and decorations without asking. I guess I'm just paranoid from that still.

GTKY: What's the "strangest" food you've ever eaten?
I'm not one to be adventurous with food. That's more DH's area. The weirdest thing I probably ate was this strange stringy seaweed salad at the Disney Food & Wine Festival. It was good... but... crispy/crunchy/rubbery in texture. And very salty.

20 weeks!

How big is baby?

Banana

Upcoming appointments this week?

Nothing till April

Any new symptoms or changes?

Insomnia has hit hard. With two LOs and a working full time, it's been tough!

Rants/Raves/Questions?
I know the gender/sex but we are not sharing yet. However, I keep slipping! If someone has caught me, they haven't said!

GTKY: What's the "strangest" food you've ever eaten?
I ate alligator in Florida. My grandma would cook cow tongue, but I never gave in and tried it.

@bumpybump How old is DD? My LO squeezes between me and the snoogle, so I can still use the bottom half. then I use another pillow up top. If I wake up and he's on the other side, I steal it back. He likes to touch too, and last night it drove me nuts!

jacksonbears · March 2017

How far along are you? 20 weeks! Half way there!!!!!!!!

How big is baby? Size of a banana or endive...

Upcoming appointments this week? Had my a/s on monday, all looked good, and we're having a little girl!

Any new symptoms or changes? My belly is growing! I was using these extenders on my work pants and jeans, think its time for the belly band...

Rants/Raves/Questions? We're excited for the little girl to come home! We both wanted a girl, when DH found out, he was really quiet, took him a little while to accept it. But we're very happy!

GTKY: What's the "strangest" food you've ever eaten? I would say frogs in new orleans...

How big is baby? Coconut. How fun. Need a lime.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant- I need winter to be done. With my protruding belly, the zipper teeth of my winter coat are rubbing my shirts and making them pill. Ugh! My spring jacket has buttons, come on.
Rave- Baby finally kicked hard enough for DH to feel her. The look on his face was priceless!
... Then she rolled in such an uncomfortable manner that either her head or her ass was firmly against my abdomen, which felt super weird for 30 seconds. Haha.

GTKY: What's the "strangest" food you've ever eaten?
Sea Urchin. Had it at a sushi restaurant. It tasted like a sweet potato that'd been marinating in the ocean. The consistency was weird too, I don't recommend.

NatSprat0703 · March 2017

@morgy_bee when do you switch to two week appts?? I feel you on the back pain. Mine has been awful this week as well. The thought of fried pork brain makes me want to vomit!! Mushroom hunting sounds so much fun!!
@bumpybump blood pudding and brain pudding?! eek!
@Feliciosity That sounds like something my MIL would do!! I hope everything goes smoothly and she let's you do everything your way!

How far along are you?

How big is baby?

an endive, or a chipotle burrito!

Upcoming appointments this week?

nope

Any new symptoms or changes?

hardcore back pain, and baby has switched her movement routine up on me. now i'm feeling her more sporadically throughout the day instead of for a few minutes at a time at 9 am and 10pm

Rants/Raves/Questions?

I seriously can't believe I'm already over half way done with this pregnancy. I feel like there is still so much left to do and I have no clue where to begin!
also, rant is my MIL. She was at my house yesterday while some builders were working on it, and she felt the need to reorganize some of my kitchen. She took pot holders out of their drawer, placed them on the counter, and put the rest in a single layer in the drawer. Then went in my front garden and chopped all of my hibiscuses. They were dead from the flood and I'd been needing to do it, but she chopped them TO THE GROUND! I was going to leave a little bit of stalk left for them to regrow.

GTKY: What's the "strangest" food you've ever eaten?

I have no clue right now. I do know that whatever it is, it cannot even compare to yalls stuff up there! lol

Hi, I am jumping in after being absent for a few weeks.

How far along are you? 18 weeks

How big is baby? Little sweet potatoes

Upcoming appointments this week? I started my two week appointments a few weeks ago because of the high risk nature of my pregnancy, so I'm constantly at the OB office. I have an appointment next Wednesday and my anatomy scan the following Sunday.

Any new symptoms or changes? I'm having some low belly pain, but I'm pretty sure it's my abs.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I ran my last half marathon of this pregnancy on Sunday. I honestly didn't think I'd be able to finish, and the last two miles were torture, but I did it and after a short 5K this Sunday, I'm going back to just walking casually. I can't wait.

GTKY: What's the "strangest" food you've ever eaten? Kangaroo is probably the weirdest. It was really good.

DeansGirl14 · March 2017

@taylormarie923
Nice job on the half at 18 weeks, wow! (And kangaroo... wow.)

bumpybump · March 2017

@Kudlica27 DD will be 3 in June.

I forgot to mention that I'll be visiting family all of next week and probably not on here much. Would anyone be willing to start this thread next Thursday?

How big is baby?

Endive

Upcoming appointments this week?

Nope, none for awhile

Any new symptoms or changes?

Wish I was feeling lil man move more. Think I may go chug some OJ and hang out to get him cruisin

Rants/Raves/Questions?

I hate this month - I'm on a month-long work contract out of state and I'm miserable. I knew it was coming and we prepared for it, but I hate it. I don't like the area, I miss my family, and even though I have a few other coworkers here, I'm lonely as hell and extra-weepy. Not very motivated either and noticing I'm not even nearly as active on here

28 days to go.

GTKY: What's the "strangest" food you've ever eaten?
Frogs in France and chocolate covered maggots in Florida once.

MrsPlatz · March 2017

How far along are you? 21 wks

How big is baby? Endive/bok choy

Upcoming appointments this week? No

Any new symptoms or changes? I am so tired and hungry! All I want to do is eat and sleep, literally, I'm not joking.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Things have really turned a corner for me the last week or so. Food is finally appealing again. We moved. I feel baby every day now.

GTKY: What's the "strangest" food you've ever eaten? Nothing like you ladies! I guess I'm boring when it comes to food. I've had a California roll

lol
