  • Omg @blueskies17 I WISH I could sleep for 10.5 hours.   Between my husband's loud ass snoring and my having to pee every 20 minutes, it's impossible!
  • @breezybee oh I woke up at least 3 times to pee  :D
  • @peachy13 Ugh. I'm with you on the sweet tooth. I split a slice of French Silk pie with DH yesterday then celebrated my boss' birthday today with TWO servings of Red Velvet cake. I've got to slow it down!
  • @hellothere47 I've had apple pie a la mode every day for the last week LOL. I bought a pie and my SO doesn't eat it so...cant let it go to waste. 
  • So excited tosee how far along everyone is!!

    How far along are you? 22+1


    Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? Constant hunger! Also I have an anterior placenta, so finally starting to feel more consistent movement and bigger kicks!!

    Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? just like others, had anatomy scan two weeks ago. It went great and was a huge relief!

    Rants/raves/Questions? kind of a rant... DH has wanted to sell our house for awhile now and for some WHO KNOWS REASON at about 20wk pregnant I decided I agreed with him. So now our house is up for sale, we are dealing with house showings (which suck the life out of me).... And have started the process of building a home that won't be finished until MARCH! Idk why I do this to myself, but it was my fault for putting it off for too long! You may ask why don't we just wait until after the baby, but the way a rationalized it is that he will still be sleeping in our room in a bassinet come March. So if we have to live in an apartment until the house is built, at least it may be easier....Not easy, but easier.

    GTKY:  If you found a genie in a bottle and they gave you ONE wish, what would it be?  And no, you can't wish for unlimited wishes! just for my baby to grow up happy and healthy!

  • @Mandayno Oh wow, that's some serious added stress. Hope the house sale goes smoothly for you and your new place is awesome.  <3

  • @Mandayno Girl, I understand!  It is better to sell now, when you don't have baby and allllllllll their stuff. We did the same thing. We figured it would be so hard to constantly keep the house clean and organized for showings when we had babies. It's a pain, but you're doing it right!  Hang in there!
  • @djd0404 thank you so much! I hope so too!!

    @breezybee thank you! I am so glad that someone else understands. It really made me feel like I was loosing my mind when I decided to, but when I weighed all the options it just seemed like a better time than when he's a little bit older! Plus if we sell the house before he gets here, like you said it is so much easier for showings (which are a nightmare in their own). But more so, I just felt him and all his things would be more compact and portable until March or April for apartment living. Thanks for understanding and making me not feel alone!!!!

  • @Mandayno No you're definitely doing the right thing. It's going to be super stressful, but like I said, way better to be stressed now with just you and your SO, than later with the baby in tow!
  • @breezybee oh my goodness! Twin girls, how exciting. You must be so excited for all the matching outfits. I was always obsessed with the Olsen twins and having twin girls was always a dream of mine lol 

    @clovelyone I'm with you on wishing that you could afford to travel all the time!



    How far along are you?
    20 weeks + 3 days. Past the half way mark!

    Any new symptoms or changes since last check in?
    Not really, is nesting a symptom? I've gone crazy the past week getting rid of clutter in our house. 4 massive bags and counting. It feels so good!

    Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? 
    Last Monday we had the anatomy scan, it went awesome but they didn't get an accurate measurement of her nose. We have to go back in 2 weeks so they can try again. We got a picture of her nose the tech just didn't get the measurement at that time so it's pretty stress free and we get to see our little babe again <3

    Rants/raves/Questions?

    Rant/ Question- Anyone else find they have a lot less patience since being pregnant? Mines mainly work related but I find I'm just not willing to put up with any bs and it's making work a bit difficult since I'm usually a pretty easy going person. Sometimes I just feel like I'm being a crazy pregnant lady.

    I wish... related to my rant above that everyone could have some common sense. I feel like it'd make the world a much better place lol just kidding. 

    But seriously, I'd probably wish for good health for mine and DH's family.

  • @MrsWifey89 I've been nesting like crazy, too. I finally organized the spaces under my bathroom & kitchen sinks (I'd been meaning to get around that for years), installed a new mirror in the bathroom, and one night last week I organized our whole pantry on a whim. DH just kind of stands back in awe and wonders where all this is coming from, especially the night cleaning and the power tools.

    I'm also totally with you on the irritation at work thing. I can't stand listening to my coworkers talk anymore, they drive me crazy with their laziness and stupidity. (But these are the same people I invited to my wedding!) I wish I could work from home full-time, the only person I can stand at this point is DH.

  • @djd0404 it feels so good doesn't it! Have you started your nursery yet? We won't start ours until early October, I feel like it's the route of my nesting because I need to focus my energy somewhere! 

    It's nice to hear I'm not the only one with work irritations so I know I haven't completely gone crazy. Hopefully it doesn't get to you too much and it's just a phase that will pass. December can't come soon enough! (If I last that long lol)

  • @MrsWifey89 Same here, we haven't started the nursery yet, so that could definitely explain the "nesting" elsewhere. Works for me!
