Baby is 22w and is the size of a coconut! My girls keep singing moana (the island gives us what we neeeeed!!)
I'm feeling alright today. A little tired and sore (damn hips) but it's par for the course. I think I've earned myself a pedi today.
No appts this week.
Rave: it dawned on me today that i kicked the daily headaches a few weeks ago.
Rant: i cannot for the life of me find a comfy bra. I went from a 32B to a 36C. The extra mommy padding has me down a bit.
Qotw: we celebrate Christmas so the house was decked last weekend. No tree yet. We tagged it several weeks ago. We'll probably get it next weekend. My favorite thing is Christmas music! I sing all the songs and it puts me in such a good mood. It's a game changer at work.
How many weeks/how big is baby? 23 weeks - ~11.5" and just over a pound How do you feel? Good. Sciatica pain as seemed to decrease this week, maybe due to the squats I've started? Idk, but I'll take it. Any appointments? Next week. Rants/raves/questions? No libido. Like zeroooo. Just DH touching my arm totally grosses me out. Don't touch me, don't cuddle with me, just stay away! It's really hard for him and emotionally starting to take a toll on me. Did not have this issue during my first pregnancy and hoping it gets better sooner then later.
Qotw: any holiday prep going on in your home? What's your fav thing about the holiday season? Like I mentioned in last week's, we don't really have much built up for decorations yet. We've managed to stay out of debt since we've been married and are trying to stay that way. So some things, like house decor are on the back burner for now. I do love all things Christmas though. The music, the lights, the baking, the family time, the caroling, the live nativities, finding and giving gifts.
DH(27) + Me (27) = 1/14 Baby #1: Aug. 2016 Baby #2: April 1st, 2018
How many weeks/how big is baby? I am 19 weeks today. Baby is as big as a mango
How do you feel? I feel great we just had our gender reveal yesterday and our first baby is going to be a little boy. Today I am a little tired after all the fun and excitement of yesterday but overall I am loving second trimester Any appointments? No appointments scheduled for this week Rants/raves/questions? I am beyond excited to have a little boy. My BF’s dad passed away unexpectedly before I met him and they share the family name and to have a boy to pass the family name on is so special to his family. And to make things even better we found out we are having a boy on his dads birthday. So special and such a happy time for us all. Call me crazy but I certainly think it’s a sign from his dad Qotw: any holiday prep going on in your home? What's your fav thing about the holiday season? We got our tree last weeknd and the inside and outside of the house is fully decorated. My favorite part of the holiday season is the food and all the extra family time. The 25 days of Christmas on TV are always wonderful as well
How many weeks/how big is baby? 21 weeks - Baby Bok Choy How do you feel? Unproductive and fat lol. I know the changes I need to start making, but I'm having a hard time being consistent. Any appointments? I had the anatomy scan on Thursday (Confirmed MaterniT 21 result, it's another girl!) Best of all everything is looking good and baby looks healthy!! Rants/raves/questions? I can't wait until I start feeling more energy! I went to bed at 10:30, slept until 7, and I'm still ready for a nap at 11am! Qotw: any holiday prep going on in your home? What's your fav thing about the holiday season?
We have our trees done. We should get the kids' pictures back on Tuesday to send out cards, and I am going to work on wrapping presents when the kids go down for their nap in a little bit. My favorite is seeing the kids get excited. Where we go to get our tree has horse-drawn wagon rides, we take the kids and the dogs and it's a blast. Tomorrow night the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train stops in our town so we will be taking them to see that, then going out for pizza afterwards. Going to see local light displays is another highlight of the season. Easy little excursions that are free and bring so many smiles. edited because autocorrect doesn't like Bok choy
I'm 20 weeks! Time seems to be flying this pregnancy.
I am extremely emotional lately. Or maybe just constantly irritated. I'm also so tired. My toddler is not sleeping well. I'm not sure if this is the 18 month sleep regression or if he's teething. He could possibly just be very spoiled. I still have morning sickness hanging around as well.
I have our 20'week scan tomorrow. I'm so nervous but also trying to be excited about it too.
We've done as much Christmas decorating as we will. My toddler is over the moon excited about it. We went to a pancake breakfast w santa and our local fire station this weekend. He loved the fire trucks and was okay w santa. It's been so fun to watch him enjoy the Christmas season. My 12 year old is insisting he truly believes in santa. I think he just wants to be included in the fun.
I'm having pretty bad back pain and cramps today, so I’m trying to take it easy, but it’s tough because Sunday is laundry/cleaning day. Otherwise I’ve been feeling decent aside from headaches and exhaustion. I’m emotionally struggling with rapid weight gain, despite the fact that I’m still running and weight training.
Thursday.
We got out what little decor we have and got a tree for the first time in my adult life. Now that DS is three, we are looking forward to making some consistent traditions.
Still feeling good in general, but I have been having some trouble sleeping so I am pretty tired today.
I had my anatomy scan this past week and that went well. My next appointment is the first week of January.
I am so excited that the baby looks healthy and we found out that he is a boy!
We decorated the house last weekend, but we recently got a cat and he has been getting into everything. I love holiday music, baking cookies, parties, and just the general atmosphere of holiday cheer.
@babyclarke429 That is so special to be having a boy with the due date of grandfathers birthday. Im sure it means the world to your BF share the family name too!
@dirtyboots Im in the same boat with zero libido lol. So weird because everyone tells me that second tri is when we should have soaring drives. But all the sudden zero interest... I can tell my boyfriend is confused as I didnt feel this way first tri at all. Hope it passes soon for us both!
@beach_mama Yay for no more headaches! Love that yall go out and pick your own tree. Ive always wanted to do that but Ive been too cheap and using a small fake one. Maybe next year!
How many weeks/how big is baby? 23 weeks, size of a grapefruit. (Seems smaller than the coconut from last week?)
How do you feel? Pregnancy wise Im feeling alright.
Any appointments? Anatomy scan followup on the 6th to recheck babies kidneys. Hoping everything looks normal this time. Rants/raves/questions? Rant: I have a cold. Having a cold while pregnant blows. My sinuses were already stuffy. I already couldnt sleep well. And I don't want to miss work since I'm trying to save PTO for baby. Plus we can't take cold medicine So I worked nightshift last night on no sleep and was completely miserable. I know its just a cold but Im so irritated with it hah.
Qotw: any holiday prep going on in your home? What's your fav thing about the holiday season? We finished putting up the tree and a couple decorations. Can't wait to finish up later this week!
How do you feel? ugh we’ve all been sick and my son was really sick recently, so poor baby #4 has been kind of neglected mentally. I kept forgetting i’m pregnant this past week
Any appointments? Anatomy scan next week. Hate having an end of month EDD right now - I am so anxious to have my scan done and over with. Rants/raves/questions? None of the above, but after the rough week we’ve all had, i’m treating myself to sushi (but no sake!) this evening.
Qotw: any holiday prep going on in your home? What's your fav thing about the holiday season? Not yet, we’ve all been too busy throwing up and trying not to die. Lol. Hopefully this week/weekend it can happen!

How do you feel? Feeling pretty good. Some hip and back pain on days I over do it. Indigestion is a frequent visitor. Any appointments? Had my a/s scan last week. Will be going back for a second scan at the beginning of Jan. Baby boy wasn't cooperative and wouldn't let them check everything they needed to. Rants/raves/questions? So my mother in law stop by today and asked how far along I was. When I told her her reply was oh that's how far along I was when I lost my first baby. Why would you say that to a pregnant woman?
Qotw: any holiday prep going on in your home? What's your fav thing about the holiday? Currently celebrating our 4th and final Thanksgiving. I am so finished with this holiday. We finished decorating our house today which is one of my favorite things about the holiday. I love driving around looking at all of the decorations.
How many weeks/how big is baby? 22 weeks. Coconut. How do you feel? Ehhhh. Still same sciatica pain. Had a little more energy towards the end of this week. Still fighting depression and anxiety though, so im going to talk to my OB about it tomorrow. Edit to add- constipation has officially hit this week. I will definitely be bringing that up tomorrow too.
Any appointments? OB appointment tomorrow. Rants/raves/questions? Tired of my mood being in the tank and being so angry all the time. So overwhelmed and annoyed. Tired of my 3 year old not listening. I am excited for the baby to get here to provide some simplicity in my life without everything being a fight, whining, or a meltdown. Qotw: any holiday prep going on in your home? What's your fav thing about the holiday season? Nope. Not really. Everything has been done since the weekend after Halloween haha. I need to wrap gifts though.. and make gifts.. bleh.
@beach_mama man, I totally know what you mean with the extra padding. I went from a B to at least a D and I HATE them!! They are too big for my body type and it has me so down and insecure!! I cant find a good bra that is comfortable for the life of me. I always wore sports bras before and now it just looks terrible. Im ready for my small boobs back!
@icalynn well don't those look amazingly comfy! Thank you for the suggestion! I forgot how big my chest gets w kids...and I (obv) don't have any milk yet so they will get bigger. Oye. Just thinking of it makes me cringe. Here's to boobs as hard as rocks leaking milk everywhere.
@icalynn Oh those look perfect! I'm ordering some now!
I always wanted bigger boobs but now they just look silly next to my scrawny arms hah. Silver lining is at least my boyfriend seems to like them. Hopefully he still feels that way they are swollen and leaking everywhere haha
How many weeks/how big is baby? 21 weeks & baby is the size of an endive, whatever that is... LOL
How do you feel? Ehhh, I've been better. I feel sore. My back and my hips especially. I think I need to step up my non-existent workout routine, even just some light stretching and yoga might help.
Any appointments? A/S went great this past Friday. Won't see my OB again until the 14th.
Qotw: any holiday prep going on in your home? What's your fav thing about the holiday season? Put up the tree and decorated inside the house this weekend. DH is doing the outside lights tonight.
