1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 19 weeks, mango

2) How are you feeling? I feel great overall

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing? Yes, it's a girl! And yes my belly has definitely popped.

4) Any appointments this week/last? I had a quick appointment on Monday, heard the heartbeat. Everything is good

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? I feel like this is going by so quickly!

6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live? I love that the beach is so close by, and the weather is absolutely beautiful in the winter.

katiegeminimoon · July 2017

(Yes I stole the GTKY question from another ticker day, I'm lazy today)

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 20 weeks! Holy cow! HALF WAY DONE!!! Baby is the size of a banana or an axolotl.

2) How are you feeling? Great!

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing? Yes, team pink. I'm plus size so I'm not showing in an obvious way, but I can tell a difference.

4) Any appointments this week/last? Appt today at 10:40, I'll update after!

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? I ordered 5 new shirts I was hoping would be long enough to wear with leggings, and all but one was great. I'm never not wearing leggings again

6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live? I live in Cincinnati. I don't have any major likes or dislikes about where I live. It's ok. We get all 4 seasons, it's not a small city so there are a lot of different things to do/see, but it's also close to the country. It's a pretty decent mix of everything. I do wish it was less conservative and whatnot.

katiegeminimoon · July 2017

@kater622 I agree, it does seem to be going by quickly!! If I moved out of Ohio I would definitely want to live near a beach! I wouldn't miss the snow at all.

kater622 · July 2017

@ktcakes87 congrats on being halfway there!! I grew up in Ohio until I was 18, lived in Florida for 12 years. It is just now starting to bother me that we don't have much change in seasons. I miss the Fall the most. We are flying back up to Ohio in August for a wedding and I'm pretty excited to see some family and my old hometown!

katiegeminimoon · July 2017

@kater622 I would definitely miss Fall, it's my favorite. I didn't even think about that!

dkizz82 · July 2017

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?

18 weeks, artichoke

2) How are you feeling?
Pretty good. Had a BP scare this week. It was like 160/100. I had a horrible headache form from it. Finally got my meds upped so I'm feeling better.

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?

Girl, yep

4) Any appointments this week/last?

I had one Wednesday. Heartbeat was great. Scheduled anatomy scan for 7/26!

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

I'm a teacher and school starts back August 1. I want to cry. I have enjoyed my summer with my sweet girl.

6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live?
i live just north of Nashville. It's pretty cool downtown. We rarely go because hell, I hate traffic and crowds. Haha. Plus DH worlds downtown and doesn't like to go back.

kyrwyn · July 2017

@ktcakes87 Hooray for 50% baked! *high five*

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 20 weeks! Halfway! The size of a banana... By which I assume they mean the length of a banana? Or weight of a banana? Or something abstractly banana ish?

2) How are you feeling? Pretty awesome. I am grateful to get a chance to experience this supposed magic 2nd tri. I know other moms are still feeling oogy.

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing? Yep and yep.

4) Any appointments this week/last? Nothing after the anatomy scan excitement.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? is anyone else feeling really short tempered or easily annoyed lately?

6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live? I love that we can be at the beach, or in the mountains, or in the desert, or at Disneyland, or in another country -- all within a 3hr driving radius. It's pretty phenomenal to grow up with dozens of micro climates within a day's reach.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
@ktcakes87 @kyrwyn 20 weeks here too!! Banana! Yay for the halfway point, I can't believe it!

2) How are you feeling?
I'm feeling good! I take one nausea pill a day and feel great (tried going off and wasn't good). Eating well again after all the insane sickness. Love that I have a belly and love feeling all the movements.

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?

Nope, and not finding out. I'm showing like crazy!

4) Any appointments this week/last?

I have my 20 week scan on Monday! I'll be 20 weeks 3 days. Haven't seen LO since I was 7 weeks. Me and DH can't wait!

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

Nope.

6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live?
I love that I can work in the city, but have a short commute and be living and immersed in the country! I also love our four seasons. Today is crazy hot out, so I can't wait to get home and lay in my blow-up pool like a beached whale!!

Marley629 · July 2017

@kyrwyn yes - I have little to no patience right now which kinda makes me feel bad for my staff. They get the brunt of my annoyance though my toddler is a close 2nd lol

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?

18 weeks, size of an artichoke or can of soda

2) How are you feeling?
I haven't thrown up in 48 hours! Still have zero energy but I have a bit of an appetite so I'll take it!

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?

Team Blue! Yes, I popped a couple of weeks ago and I feel like I'm waddling already. It's too early for that!

4) Any appointments this week/last?

Have my OB check up on Tuesday and then anatomy scan is 7/28

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

I never realized how easy i had it during my pregnancy with DS until this one. It's been rough. Feeling his little kicks though makes it all worthwhile. I can't wait until they are more consistent

6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live?

i live in Northern New Jersey. The best thing about it is that I'm close to so much - beaches, mountains, farms, cities, suburbs - a mall pretty much 20 mins in any direction. There's a little bit of everything and I love it.

atack · July 2017

1) how far along? 20 weeks today:)

2) How are you feeling? Tired by the end of the day and Braxton hivks already. Had one today during my ultrasound and my tech confirmed that's what it was.

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing? Nope! We are team green and I'm so proud of my willpower to turn away! Yes I'm showing!

4) Any appointments this week/last? Had one Monday and my 20 week anatomy scan today!

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Anyone planning on painting a crib? I may use chalk paint to change my sons crib color. Debating still.

6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live?
i love being around family. I love how my town is small outside a large metropolis. Love that my commute is short with no traffic as Baltimore/DC is the worst and I fortunately do not drive through that daily.

PoeMasque · July 2017

Jealous of all the 20 weekers who are halfway, but excited to be only 5 weeks away from viability! Woot!

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
19 weeks, heirloom tomato

2) How are you feeling?
really tired this week! Return of constipation, sore boobs, and shortness of breath, so I'm guessing there's a progesterone surge going on!

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
boy and yes, finally looking obvious

4) Any appointments this week/last?
anatomy scan on Monday!

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
it took us so long to get a BFP that it really felt like pregnancy was the end goal, but a close friend just had her baby and now I'm SO impatient for our baby to get here and this pregnancy part to be over.

6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live?
I love that we can literally walk a mile from our house and be in the woods, or drive 45 mins and be at the beach. There are so many waterfalls, lakes, hot springs, and rivers here that we could go hiking every weekend and still not see them all. We are in southwest Oregon.

jamiekay123 · July 2017

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?

17 weeks, size of a pomegranate

2) How are you feeling?
pretty great!

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?

No and just barely. I can still get by with my old clothes but I did bust out the hair tie trick on my pants for the first time today!

4) Any appointments this week/last?
no, US in a couple of weeks

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live?

We are in a small town so everyone knows everyone (good and bad!) and it's quiet and peaceful but still an easy drive to a bigger city. I'm in central Oklahoma.

tmk0325 · July 2017

I always seem to miss this on Friday's. Probably because I'm off of work on Friday's through July. Once August rolls around I'm back to working Friday's

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 18 weeks, size of a sweet potato from my photo thing

2) How are you feeling? Besides tired, good. My boobs are getting big and starting to hurt so I think I'm going to need to wear a nursing bra or sports bra to bed soon. I'm normally a small D, so this has never bothered me much before.

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing? Team Green here. Yes, I just unpacked all my maternity clothes (I swear I just put them away) and am wearing maternity pants for the first day today.

4) Any appointments this week/last? None til the big scan on the 28th.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? I Don't think it's hit me that I could potentially be half way done. I went at 31 weeks with the boys, so I was definitely over halfway by now... Hopefully the progesterone shots help and do the trick and I go almost to full term this time.

6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live? We live out in the country, the peace and quiet is nice and being close to family, however I do miss the convenience of having stuff to do/see/eat within a few minutes.

katiegeminimoon · July 2017

@dkizz82 Hopefully the meds keep your BP in check, that sounds stressful!

@krywyn Haha, high five! It’s so exciting being half way! I am usually annoyed easily, but it is definitely worse now.

@bbylifelove yay half way!!!

@Marley629 Yay! Did the no throwing up last through the weekend?!

@atack I know nothing about painting cribs, but I’m sure as long as you use safe paint (because babies chew, haha) it’ll be fine! I’m sure google can help you figure it out!

@PoeMasque I agree about the end goal statement! I tried for so long to become (and stay) pregnant that getting my BFP seemed like the goal, but having the baby is the real one! I CANNOT WAIT

@tmk0325 I’m also off on Fridays and find it impossible to respond to everyone on this thread until Monday at work.

My doctor appt went great! He found the baby's HB a lot higher than I expected. Thankfully my blood pressure was normal. I get really anxious before appointments so it always appears to be super high when I'm there.

Marley629 · July 2017

@ktcakes87 yay for a great appt!

I have one tomo and I'm curious where they will find baby hanging out.
Afm, unfortunately MS returned Saturday night and all through Sunday. Today's been ok though!! I've come to conclusion, it may be an all pregnancy thing and that I will enjoy food again in time for the holidays.
