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

24 weeks. Baby is the size of a cantaloupe.

2) How are you feeling?

Ok for the most part. This weekend I had the urge to get floors cleaned (they apparently needed it as they are now super slippery and all I did was vacuum and sweep). An hour after I was done I got a little crampy but it just felt like RLP so I laid on the couch for a bit. It was 7pm and DD was ready for bed and after I laid her down I went to lay in bed too and BH were brutal for the rest of the day and yesterday. They aren't painful but I have been getting a lot of lower back pain with them and everytime Emery stretches out after a BH contraction it takes the wind out of me.

3) Any appointments this or next week?

I have a prenatal checkup on Thursday. With everything I have been feeling the last week is exactly how my PTL started at 30 weeks with DD so I am hoping they can reassure me it's not the case again and simply normal BH.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?

Rave- last week DD (3) was playing in the toy room and I was getting our bags ready for running errands. I told her it was time to go and I was fully prepared myself to have to go down and shut lights and tv off and pick up toys. Nope she shut the lights off, picked up her toys and put them back on the shelf I only had to turn off the TV. Needless to say I was super impressed since I didn't tell her to do it.

5) GTKY: What is a habit other people have that you find annoying or what is your #1 pet peeve?

If the dishwasher is empty I really dislike when dirty dishes are put on the counter. If the dishwasher is full either run it or empty if they are clean and reload. Not so hard right?

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

22 weeks; A half dozen bagels.

2) How are you feeling?

Starting out the week on a high note! Exhausted, but feeling well overall.

3) Any appointments this or next week?

Next Thursday for my checkup.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Increase in discharge normal around this time? I am not googling, so just say yes

5) GTKY: What is a habit other people have that you find annoying or what is your #1 pet peeve?
How much time do we have for me to list everything out? One thing I see often enough (and it's on my mind because it happened this morning) is people texting and walking, specifically while crossing a street. Stop. Pay attention. Trust no one.

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

23+4 - baby is the size of a grapefruit. I'm guessing a very large grapefruit at this point!

2) How are you feeling?

The heat is really getting to me, and the shortness of breath is making everyday tasks more challenging. I miss the days when I took the stairs three at a time!

3) Any appointments this or next week?

Nope, I'm appointment free for a while and enjoying the break

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Anyone know of any good exercises or stretches to ease lower back pain? I've read that all pregnant women get sciatic pain, and I seem to be dealing with some of that now (sharp, shooting pains down lower back and butt). Normally I would do abs work to counteract the back strain but I'm not sure what to do while pregnant.

Slow walkers drive me crazy! And if you're too slow for a pregnant lady, that's saying something.

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

21 weeks - size of an Endive (whatever that is)

2) How are you feeling?

The only thing bothering me is my sciatic nerve especially at work getting in and out of the truck all day.

3) Any appointments this or next week?

Just my progesterone shot tomorrow.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rant: I'm so tired of my coworkers reminding me to drink plenty of water. Yes, I know it's 100° outside and I know I need to drink water but they all know we don't have time to seek out a bathroom every hour either.

5) GTKY: What is a habit other people have that you find annoying or what is your #1 pet peeve?
I can not stand dirty clothes laying around the house! Dirty socks by the front door, shirts in the living room, pants and underwear on the bathroom floor. You have a hamper, use it!

Rave: DH and I are both off this week and we have switch our bedroom into the master room, now the room we were in can be painted for baby!! (we started in the smaller room as it has a closet and the master bedroom doesn't but thanks to amazon prime day we got a make do wardrobe thing to get us through until we find one really like.)

5) GTKY: What is a habit other people have that you find annoying or what is your #1 pet peeve?

When DH cleans up the kitchen after a meal but doesn't go in to the dinning room and clean the crumbs off the table.

When people especially in my house take clean clothes he's off the hanger decide not to wear it and throw it on the floor or the top of the closet instead of hanging it back up.

@kdw89 my husband doesn't do that either! Drives me nuts. He doesn't wipe down ththe counters or the dining table.

kdl89 · July 2017

@mymulligan it took a while before he wiped counter but he will wipe those now .... maybe there is hope for the table someday too.

NYTino24 · July 2017

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

22+ weeks, a coconut or spaghetti squash

2) How are you feeling? Emotionally, great. As we approach my EDD from my angel baby, that may change. I have gotten a ton of baby stuff deals and I'm starting to feel prepared. My twin is coming up on a Wednesday and we are going to see our friends with newer babies. We will also talk more about my shower and I'll show her what I have for it so far. I'm excited!

3) Any appointments this or next week?

August 3

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Been making some new local mom friends and went hiking with them, including one who is two weeks more pregnant than me. I was so sore yesterday because I definitely pulled something.

5) GTKY: What is a habit other people have that you find annoying or what is your #1 pet peeve?
I can't stand when someone stops listening when you're in the middle of talking. People have such short attention spans. Online, spelling and grammar mistakes drive me nuts.
