Re: Sunday Ticker Change 7/9
19 weeks, babies are the size of mangos, hot dogs, or sunglasses! At 6" apiece, I've got a whole foot of babies already! I'm also at my halfway point this week since my doc has already decided they'd induce at 38 weeks. FX I make it that far!
Great! Just behind on stuff always and running out of clothes. Getting appropriately dressed daily is a struggle.
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
one of each! You bet I'm showing.
On the other hand, I got a video of Baby A kicking! It's visible from the outside now!
We're close enough to a big city to go explore fun things, but far enough away to avoid the traffic, and I love the corn field behind our house! I live in a suburb of Austin, TX.
17 weeks, baby is the size of a troll doll
Really crummy. Fighting dehydration for over a month (with weekly IVs of saline) and failed my 1 hour glucose screen, so majo diet change which makes me queasy.
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
Team green, showing since like 6 weeks (2nd pregnancy popped quickly)
OB and glucose screen last week
How long from modifying my diet before it'll affect my 3 hour glucose test?
I'm in Prescott , Arizona.
I was feeling pretty good till I overdid on Saturday resulting in some back pain. Better today but still feeling not quite like myself.
We know that one of the twins is a boy hoping to learn the other on Thursday. I'm plus sized so while my shape is changing and things are sticking out more it isn't yet looking like pregnancy. Won't be long though.
Check up and sono scheduled for Thursday.
I live in a suburb of fort worth tx in an older neighborhood with lovely trees. The newer developments give me stepford wives vibes. I like where we live so long as I can do a weekend camping trip every so often to enjoy the country.
FTM 17w, size of a pomegranate.
I came down with a sore throat/cough a couple days ago so I'm not feeling well.
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
Team green. I feel like I'm showing but no strangers would be able to notice. It just looks kind of pudgey.
I had my 16w checkup and got to hear the heartbeat. Also heard some kicks but I can't feel anything.
Rant: getting sick
Rave: DH going to the store twice in the past hour to get me medicine, food, etc...
Portland, OR - right now I'm loving the SUN! It's been beautiful weather, I've been hanging out at the pool, going for walks, love it
I'm good. A little more tired than I expected to be at this point, but no complaints.
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
I live in central Florida and I love that I'm 40 minutes from the beach, an hour from Disney, 30 minutes from my work in Tampa but I'm still in a fairly less developed area with a lot of nature.
Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!
Gavin - 8/27/10
*TW*
Gabriel - 2nd tri loss 5/17/16 Trisomy 18 & 21
Hope - 2nd tri loss 12/7/16 complications from pneumonia
I had one wretched headache day early last week but have actually been feeling like a majestic unicorn ever since, for the first time pretty much all pregnancy. I am hoping against hope that this continues!
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
I hate how maternity clothes say "buy your prepregnancy size" but they only come in S, M, L, etc. Sorry, but I don't recall ever buying a pair of jeans as an adult that were a generic letter size. Or a swimsuit, or a dress for that matter. I know the fabric is stretchy, but can't we do better than that? Bought size L full panel dress pants that fit like a dream, size L swimsuit clung so tight I could hardly breathe-- and I don't even have a bump yet! WTF??
In central NC, we're 2-3 hours from the beach and 2-3 hours from the mountains which is the BEST. I know NC gets a lot of bad publicity for our weird politics and such, but it's such an amazing, beautiful place.
I have moments of immense energy then followed with extreme tiredness. Feeling quite large now.
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
Anatomy scan 7/17
My moods are all over the place, and I think I'm really struggling with that. I go from a rage to sad to tired loop most every day. It is exhausting just being near me let alone feeling this roller coaster of emotion.
I live in a large city in the southeast. It's a small enclave of the city that is very walkable with excellent schools; that combo is hard to come by in the south. The area is close to a large university and research facility, and my favorite thing about the area is that the community is very socially liberal and ethnically diverse.
15 weeks, navel orange
Pretty good! I think the first trimester exhaustion has tapered off. One annoying symptom I'm still dealing with is acne
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
Team blue! I'm kind of showing but it's really low, a belly burrito pooch. I have a deflated bump and waiting to see it even out.
nope. Gotta get a 18-20 week scan at a specialist since I'm 35+
When we did our gender reveal to family, my brother-in-law quickly chimes in (right after the cake reveal) that he and his wife are going to try for #2 at the end of the year. Um bad timing and nobody wants to hear that you'll be having sex at OUR reveal. Idk, am I being too sensitive? DH thought it a bit weird too.
the parks and schools are great here and it's quiet. I live about 30 min north of Los Angeles and 30 min east of Malibu's awesome beaches.
feeling pretty good
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
we just moved to England so we haven't done a whole lot of exploring just yet.
19 weeks yesterday lol. Size of a Mango.
2. How are you feeling? Not bad. Cold is starting to go away. I think Morning sickness is getting better. Started to wean my anti-nausea meds.
3. Do you know sex of baby? Have you revealed?
No. and not fully.
4. Any appointments this week or last?
Saw OB on the 5th. Things are good. Unfortunately I still don't have an appointment for my 20 week scan. Hopefully I get it this week.
5. See #4 for my rant.
6. GTKY? Currently spend time outside. Summers are short and hot here.
Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada.
I'm doing ok- Thursday last week my wife and I both came down with a nasty stomach virus. I took off work Friday and have been taking it easy. Just starting to get my appetite back, and was able to stay hydrated at least, but it really took a lot out of me. I'm back at work today, but still really tired.
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
It really depends on what I'm wearing, but I certainly notice the difference!
I love being in a part of Baltimore City where so much fun stuff is walking distance. We have a farmer's market a few blocks away every Saturday morning year round. And a new brewery opened up a few years ago also really close by that has a game room and kids play area, and Friday early evenings lots of parents with young kids hang out there over a beer.
Due date 12/9
I can't figure out the pregnancy countdown tickers, but I do know how to make a signature!
#40andpregnant
As of 12/15/2017, my new hashtag is #41 and pregnant!
