I hope she gets my sense of direction and I hope she gets H's skin (I burn like crazy!).
Anyone also struggling with this?

I REALLY want her to have my husband's beautiful curly hair. I think I secretly harbor fantasies that she'll be a little mini-me, personality-wise (dreamy, bookish, stubborn, woodsy), but really I'm just so excited and curious to see what kind of person she actually is.
It's possible your H just doesn't want to put pressure on you to have sex if you don't want to. I'm all for open communication about this stuff. Seriously talk to him straight up about it tonight. He's the only one who can tell you what's goin' on in that brain of his.
Intellectually, I know my baby doesn't "know" what's going on if/when we have sex (and the endorphins are good for her!), but the kicking and twirling makes her feel like more of a person/spectator to me, which is just kind of bizarre to process emotionally...
Aches and pains for the most part. She loves my bladder. I so much as don't love my bladder. I'm also getting excited and anxious. I'm almost out of the second trimester already... 2 weeks to go! It's going so fast so it is a bit overwhelming!
Appointment on Tuesday. Getting my flu shot and just a regular check up. Hopefully going to schedule the glucose testing so I can get that done and out of the way. I heard it sucks!
None at the moment.

I hope she gets both of our athletic ability. My DH and I talked about this the other day. She may have a chance at being better at Crossfit than the both of us, lol! I can tell from the 3D ultrasound we did that she is going to have my huge lips. Dad is buying a shotgun he said. Haha! We also could see she's going to have her dad's strong legs so that's a plus! I have little chicken legs. Poor girl would be screwed if she had mine, lol!
So this is a bit of a weird question-does anyone know anything about getting a C-section with an anterior placenta? I've had 2 previous un complicated vaginal deliveries (no forceps or vacuums used either) and there's absolutely no reason to think that I would need a C-section this time around but a friend of mine had a baby 6 weeks ago, she needed a C-section and had an anterior placenta and they had to give her general anesthesia because of the placenta placement so she was pretty out of it for a while and wasn't allowed or able to hold the baby initially. Like I said, there's no reason to think I would need a C-section but just in case, I'd like to go in armed with the knowledge of what could happen.

Nothing this week

Hm... I hope he gets DH's (and DS's) blue eyes and I hope he gets my patience!
5-Name one trait you hope baby DOES get from you and one that you hope baby DOES get from your SO. I hope baby gets my nose (it's a family nose) and idk, maybe optimism from DH.

I hope he gets MH’s eyesight and I hope he gets my interest in reading and books.
@antoto I haven’t even heard of that... is it like a cosleeper that attaches to the bed?
@orbmaker we haven’t had sex in over a week because we’ve had my family visiting and we’ve both been absolutely exhausted. We have had a lot of dry patches this pregnancy. With my first, we didn’t do much the first 17 weeks because I was so sick but the second trimester we got much more regular. And then by the third I didn’t want to be touched but we did try the whole “whatever gets the baby in, gets the baby out advice.” It didn’t work but I was so uncomfortable and desperate. Lol. I know MH tends to not feel like having sex when he’s got a lot going on at work and during my first pregnancy, with my body changing so much, I took that really personally. This time, I’m the biggest I’ve ever been in my life since I didn’t lose the baby weight from my first and I still get self conscious. But I know so many times I want to have sex with him and I’m just too tired. And he makes it a point now to do little things and say how much he loves my body and seeing me pregnant so that helps. I hope you guys had a good conversation about it this weekend.
@crossfitbabybump I don’t really like the glucose test because I feel awful afterwards. The taste isn’t the worst ((the barium you drink before an MRI is pretty bad)), but I don’t drink that much soda and have pretty much been limited this pregnancy to one a week or less, so I have a sugar hangover afterwards and just feel gross. I’m sure you’ll be fine.
@LaurenAnn0405 I did read about that when I was googling what an anterior placenta meant after my OB confirmed that I had one. I am pretty sure I had an anterior placenta with my first as well and still had a vaginal delivery. I think it’s only a problem if the placenta slips down in front and blocks the baby from exiting. Honestly after I read about the complications that were possible I stayed off of Google about the placenta placement.
@scoogy19 my placenta is anterior and I’ve been having very similar feelings to what you are describing. I chalked it up to this being my second and to weighing more than I did with my last pregnancy. I’m so glad you had some reassurance from the MFM this past week.
@KASG welcome!
