Re: Sunday Ticker Change - 12/10
Today marks my halfway through pregnancy! 20 weeks today
At 6.5inches long and 10oz.
2. How are you feeling lately?
Feeling extra hungry lately and started to get a little more tired after the last few weeks full of energy
3. Any appointments coming up?
Next appointment isn’t until the last week of December
4.Rants/Raves/Questions?
I just need to rave about my boyfriend he has been taking such good care of me more than he already did before I was pregnant. He rubs my feet all the time, cooks me food every night and makes me feel like the luckiest woman in the world. I cannot wait to make our family whole with our little boy and watch him become a Daddy
5. GTKY: What was the best/worst reaction you've had to telling someone you are pregnant?
Best reaction was telling my grandparents. We handed them a photo of three pumpkins with booties in the middle and they kept asking where there were salt and pepper shakers in between the pumpkins. It took them a few minutes to figure it out. It gave us all a laugh
20 weeks! Finally halfway
2. How are you feeling lately?
Really tired. This is normal for me at this point of pregnancy. The last two pregnancies I’ve actually requested bloodwork to make sure i’m not anemic or anything, but they came back normal, so i’m assuming this second trimester fatigue is just normal for me.
3. Any appointments coming up?
Anatomy scan this week, finally! Equal parts excited and nervous.
4.Rants/Raves/Questions?
nope, not this week
5. GTKY: What was the best/worst reaction you've had to telling someone you are pregnant?
This is our fourth kid, so we’ve gotten lots and lots of “please tell me this is the last one.” And btw, it definitely is.
I’m still feeling really good in general and enjoying this phase of pregnancy a lot. I occasionally have trouble sleeping and I’m tired on days I don’t sleep well, but other than that my energy has been pretty good.
No appointments until early January.
The best reactions were my mom and my 10 year old niece. They were both really excited and squealed. Haven’t had any negative reactions.
bok Choy.
2. I am really tired and still dealing w morning and evening sickness.
3. Not this coming week. We had our anatomy scan last Monday. Baby girl has a 2 vessel cord so we will be having a lot of extra dr visits. I'm trying to not worry about it too much but that's easier said than done. Because the cord develops at the same tjme
as the heart and kidneys, we will have an echocardiogram done the first week of Jan.
5. My parents and close aunts were not
thrilled to hear we were expecting #3. I'm not sure if they were just shocked or what. We had infertility issues for over 10 yrs. I think they assumed after we had our surprise miracle baby in 2016 we'd be done. It bothered me for a while but I got over it. We are thrilled to have another baby and that's all that matters.
23 weeks. Size of a grapefruit?
2. How are you feeling lately?
Okay, lots of pain.
3. Any appointments coming up?
Tomorrow I have an OB appointment.
4.Rants/Raves/Questions?
So much sciatica and tail bone pain! Holy it just keeps getting worse!
5. GTKY: What was the best/worst reaction you've had to telling someone you are pregnant?
Eh, all of my reactions have just been pretty excited. Nothing out of the ordinary.
22 weeks: a beaver’s tail
2. How are you feeling lately?
Pretty good since Friday. More energy
3. Any appointments coming up?
Not this week
4.Rants/Raves/Questions?
Time needs to slow down! My oldest will be 6 in a week!
5. GTKY: What was the best/worst reaction you've had to telling someone you are pregnant?
Nothing out of the ordinary. My dad is starting to stress logistics of delivery and visiting because my brothers due date has been bumped up 4 days and mine back two (unofficially) which put them a day apart.
Today I'm wiped. Still sore and having sciatica but overall ok.
Umm maybe? It's either this week or next. Thank goodness i get appt reminders.
Rant: i have hit the crap-sleep stage of pregnancy. I'm either up middle of the night for a few hours or up at 5. Even my kids don't get up at that horrific hour. It did mean 2.5 hours to myself this morning but I'd rather have the sleep.
Gtky: hmm...mainly excited. A few people laughed and asked, "i thought you said you were done?". Yes i did say that. I was wrong. Lol!

2. Pretty good overall. Mostly just exhausted. All the time.
3. Not until early January.
4. None at the moment.
5. Mostly people are the normal excited. DS is over the moon, and that’s been my favorite reaction. My aunt asked me if it was planned, and I thought that was rude.
24 weeks - Approx 1.8# and 11-12"
2. How are you feeling lately?
This past week was good. Minimal sciatica pain.
3. Any appointments coming up?
Tuesday is a routine 24 week check.
4.Rants/Raves/Questions?
Not particularly this week.
5. GTKY: What was the best/worst reaction you've had to telling someone you are pregnant?
We got a "Wooooow. Really?" in the most monotone voices ever from my in-laws. They think wee are having our kids far too close together (20 months). But, that's what dh and I wanted too bad for them I guess.
Baby #1: Aug. 2016
Baby #2: April 1st, 2018
23 weeks the size of a grapefruit
2. How are you feeling lately?
Pretty good. Indigestion is an almost daily thing. Body aches on days I over do it.
3. Any appointments coming up?
No appointments until early January
4.Rants/Raves/Questions?
None
5. GTKY: What was the best/worst reaction you've had to telling someone you are pregnant?
Everyone has been really great. I was a little worried because although we have been together for almost eleven years we have never gotten around to getting married. I feel a little guilty doing things out of order. It wasn't really the plan.
22 weeks, baby is the size of a coconut
2. How are you feeling lately?
Hungry. Ridiculous cravings. Lower back pain.
3. Any appointments coming up?
Regular 'every-4-weeks' checkup this Thursday.
4.Rants/Raves/Questions?
Hemorrhoids. But on the bright side, baby is kicking hard enough now that I think DH will be able to feel from the outside soon! I can't wait for that.
5. GTKY: What was the best/worst reaction you've had to telling someone you are pregnant?
Best was DD. She cried her eyes out when we told her. I was scared at first that she was upset, but she assured us she was so happy to finally have a little brother or sister. Worst reaction was my sister. In the most monotone, deadpan way, she said, "Oh. Okay". Then when I told her it was a boy, her response was "Oh god..." and she said he'll be spoiled rotten because my husband has always wanted a son. Gee. Thanks.
Me: 29 DH: 35
Married 5/3/14, TTC ever since

Femara 7.5 + Ovidrel = BFP! Due 4/15/18

Pretty good!
3. Any appointments coming up?

4.Rants/Raves/Questions?
My husband was able to feel movement from the outside, which was exciting.
5. GTKY: What was the best/worst reaction you've had to telling someone you are pregnant? My sister screamed loudly, which was funny! Both sets of grandparents are thrilled as well.
1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
24weeks, coconut sized

Feeling great this week. Way more energy.

Not til Jan 9th. Except prenatal pediatrician appt, which I didnt know was a thing until last month.
4.Rants/Raves/Questions?
Even stronger kicks this week! And I can hear the heartbeat with my stethoscope which is fun!
5. GTKY: What was the best/worst reaction you've had to telling someone you are pregnant?
Ugh unfortunately lots of negative reactions from my family. Im unwed and from a very conservative Christian family. So lots of judgement and even sadness at first. My mom cried for a while and not happy tears. But they are coming around. I for one am stoked so I am trying not to let it affect me.
