2) How big is baby?
pomegranate!
3) How are you feeling?
RLP, pelvic pain, lower back pain, super tired and having a hard time sleeping at night (thank goodness for Unisom). My boobs still hurt but now have shooting pain in them, so that's fun! I feel Baby move every now and then, mostly when I'm laying down or sitting still. Wish it would happen more often!
4) Any appointments or tests this week?
None until the anatomy scan on 5/16 ... so far away!!
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
crazy to think I'm almost halfway! Time is flying fast.
6) GTKY: What is your favorite movie?
I have a whole bunch, but my fave from my teenage years is Grease. Oh the singing, dancing and gyrating!
@SDarling324 that's crazy you're creeping up on the halfway mark! So exciting!
1) How many weeks are you?
14 weeks. Yay 2nd trimester!
2) How big is baby?
Peach
3) How are you feeling?
My morning sickness is gone for the most part! Some days in still really exhausted though..but other days I have bursts of energy. I wish the energy was consistent though lol
4) Any appointments or tests this week?
Not till next week on 5/4
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I havent been posting much on here lately, just lurking because I've been traveling for almost a week. I came to see family and take DS to the beach..its been nice to escape for a bit. I'm headed up to Austin for a couple days later today.
6) GTKY: What is your favorite movie?
I like a lot of movies.. I like weird indie films a lot. One of my classic favs is Edward Scissorhands.
Pregnancy #2-Due 8/24/17 MMC-01/09/17
DD-Due 10/24/17
2) How big is baby? Lemon
3) How are you feeling? Good, now. I had horrible cramps last week that sent me to my doc. Turns it out was a precursor to a stomach bug that I had all weekend. Today is the first day I can eat. Otherwise, I have back pain and RLP pain and everything else is slowly going away.
4) Any appointments or tests this week? I had my NT scan yesterday. Everything looked great! Baby girl even waved at us at the beginning of the ultrasound.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Has anyone heard of doing an ultrasound to check for spina bifida? My doc suggested doing that test at my next appointment in four weeks. She said it can be done during the anatomy scan too, but not after that. I don't remember doing anything like that with my first.
6) GTKY: What is your favorite movie? I love any of the Jurassic Park/World movies. I can watch them on repeat for days!
16 weeks!
2) How big is baby?
The size of a Coke can, 12 oz. which is why I'm thinking I "popped out" over the weekend.
3) How are you feeling?
I'm actually good today, I slept SO much better with my pregnancy pillow, it was life changing. But I will say I have an insane amount of gas issues..
4) Any appointments or tests this week?
Nope, none this week. We find out the gender on MAY 10!!!!!
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Not at the moment!
6) GTKY: What is your favorite movie?
PURE COUNTRY (the first one, with George Strait, not that 2nd BS one they came out with)
#DUSTY
2) How big is baby? Navel orange.
3) How are you feeling? Pretty good! Little bump "popped" over the weekend - should have known it would be soon since I have such a short torso. Lol
4) Any appointments or tests this week? None until May 12th.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? So excited to finally have a little baby bump, and pretty sure I've felt faint movement twice now! Still unsure if the first one was gas, but the second one this AM definitely wasn't gas.
6) GTKY: What is your favorite movie? I have entirely too many! Haha
2) How big is baby? navel orange
3) How are you feeling? definitely feeling more like I'm in the second trimester. Only very randomly throwing up if I brush my teeth too hard lol. Still hints of exhaustion but all around pretty good!
4) Any appointments or tests this week? sadly no. I have an appointment next week but I haven't been since 10 weeks!!! It's been so long!
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? anybody feeling baby move yet? I feel like it could very well just be in my head but sometimes I think I feel flutters!
6) GTKY: What is your favorite movie? such a tough question. Can't pick just one. Pitch Perfect, Tommy Boy, Dumb & Dumber, Bring It On, He's Just Not That Into You, the list goes on.... (all big award winning critically acclaimed films, eh?)
2) How big is baby? The size of an orange
3) How are you feeling? At long last, I'm feeling much better! Love the second trimester so much
4) Any appointments or tests this week? None this week
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? N/A
6) GTKY: What is your favorite movie? I love anything with Audrey Hepburn, but I think Wait Until Dark oddly might be my absolute favorite—I just love that it's a classic suspenseful movie without relying on a dramatic soundtrack or jump-scares. As far as more recent movies, I feel like Miss Congeniality deserves a special shoutout today
@MamaStreeter definitely feeling flutters here and there, too! You're not crazy

2) How big is baby? The size of an avocado

Expecting #1: 10.10.2017
1) How many weeks are you? 16 (yesterday)
2) How big is baby? Avocado
3) How are you feeling? Better, but the MS is not over. I ran out of Diclegis last week and my insurance won't pay for more until the 27th (WTF?) I ordered some B6 and Unisom from Amazon, but I was without for two days. Threw up 4 times in one evening and felt miserable the whole time. Once I got the b6 I started feeling better again. Now I've been feeling mostly better, but still have undertones of the nausea. Sigh.
4) Any appointments or tests this week? Next check-up on May 1st.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Not sure if I'm feeling baby move or not. Thought maybe I was feeling it a few nights ago (felt like a muscle spasm in my lower abdomen) but it was so faint and I'm not sure if it really happened or my mind was making it up. But excited that this will be a thing soon
6) GTKY: What is your favorite movie? Gone with the Wind and Schindler's List.

3) How are you feeling? Actually pretty good. Still feeling tired but am starting to feel like myself again.
4) Any appointments or tests this week? None, but am just waiting for the phone to ring any minute now with the results of our Panorama test.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? None right now.

6) GTKY: What is your favorite movie? Lately? Moana, lol
@hopeby2015 happy for good results. I know the other twin mommas have had some anxiety too so good news is always welcomed!
@dmellis02 I love the JP/JW movies too! And jealous your LO was active during NT, mine was a lazy bum and wouldn't move for all the jabbing that the nurse did lol. Looking forward to that hard sleeping continuing through the newborn stage lol.
@crazypuglady sorry you're still fighting nausea and WTF to the insurance holding out on your refills? Maybe OB can force it since it's medically necessary?? Hope you can find some relief in the meantime.
+1 to all the gassy mommas. It's uncomfortable at night and I can't get any relief unless I sit at the toilet WTF? I usually have no trouble passing gas but now I literally have to be in the toilet sitting position to get relief. So weird and inconvenient
+1 to the shock at almost being halfway!!
1) How many weeks are you?
18+1 since I'm a day late to this thread. I've really been considering joining/lurking the sept board but I feel to established in this one already.
2) How big is baby?
An unflattering artichoke haha
3) How are you feeling?
Better besides the gas and tailbone pain. I feel huge since I popped last week - I don't know how to manage the second half if I already feel like a boat!
4) Any appointments or tests this week?
None for another 2 weeks
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Sleep help. Lots of moms have talked about being stomach sleepers and having trouble. I'm a back sleeper so I'm supposed to start transitioning to side but I can't get comfortable. I've tried a pillow between my legs but every time I wake up I'm on my back again and the pillow is nowhere to be found. Any tips?
Rave - finally had the energy and motivation to deep clean the house. DH & I did major work on the downstairs on Sunday and it feels so good to walk into a tidy house. Now if we could only get the master bed and bath together... lol.
6) GTKY: What is your favorite movie?
thats a toss up between Twister, Tombstone, and Tangled. The Resident Evil and Fast and the Furious movies are my guilty pleasure too lol
So I said screw it.. and bought my own vitamins and anti-histamine. Seriously.
PS- I'd like to see how much I get charged for the remaining 40 pills. $40 again? Rip.Off.

1) How many weeks are you?
17+2
2) How big is baby?
The size of a pomegranate. Finally showing....in the mornings I have that mixed ate-too-much-or-is-she-getting-fat-but-she-could-be-pregnant look....in the evenings I look like I'm 22 weeks...ha!
3) How are you feeling?
I was feeling ok but over the past 2 days I've been so anxious. Anxious that something bad is going to happen ....not sure where it's coming from but it's making it hard for me to connect to baby lately
Other than my anxiety, I'm still pretty tired most days (although it doesn't compare to 1st trimester fatigue!)....and back pain galore!
4) Any appointments or tests this week?
None this week. Monday I have some bloodwork and next week is my early anatomy scan....can't wait!
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Get a snoogle if you don't have one yet. I sleep so much more comfortably now!
6) GTKY: What is your favorite movie?
Don't really have one...I have tons of movies that I love and could watch over and over again
Anyone thinking of baby showers? My bestie and my MIL are trying to plan mine and there's already misunderstandings and drama. I'm trying to stay out of it but there is a huge generational and cultural gap going on.....they're definitely not seeing eye-to-eye
