How far along today? How big is baby? 21 weeks, size of a Least Weasel whatever New/Interesting/Festering Symptoms feeling baby move more so that is fun! Appointments/US this week not for a month Random Questions none this week Rants/Raves not loving the pulling feeling I am get at my surgery incision spots as my stomach gets larger. Will you take a babymoon? Have you ever? If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why? we wont do one and didnt take one with our first. I would probably want to go someplace warm and hang out by a pool.
How far along today? How big is baby? 20 weeks -- two bananas (also find it hilarious that babies are both head up and bottom down...like they are soaking in a luxurious 9 month long hot tub).
New/Interesting/Festering Symptoms Very vivid dreams again like first tri all over again
Appointments/US this week I had my "in between" appt with my MFM -- quick check of the babies and cervical length....my cervix is a champ sitting at about 5 cm long
Random Questions
Rants/Raves Well, I have no idea how my stomach will keep growing for 17 more weeks -- so I am preparing for some serious, SERIOUS stretch marks.
Will you take a babymoon? Have you ever? If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why? My husband and I will go away for the weekend at the end of March (right before I hit viability).
How far along today? How big is baby? 18 weeks - artichoke or sweet potato
New/Interesting/Festering Symptoms I had some pains and cramping over the weekend which I mentioned in the symptoms thread too. Stomach/appetite is still touchy (sometimes starving, sometimes want nothing to do with food)
Appointments/US this week No appointments til next week.

Rants/Raves Went for a hike yesterday and expected to suffer but it actually made me feel really good, so looking forward to longer days & warmer weather so I can take more walks.
Will you take a babymoon? Have you ever? If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why? I didn't take a babymoon last time and probably won't this time (just because we don't typically take vacations anyway) but I really just want to have a nice long dinner out with my husband right before the baby gets here.
@lindsayleigh1989 Oh I've plenty of stretch marks from previous pregnancies -- they don't bother me so much. Part of being a mom! If my hubs wanted a stretch mark free wife than he wouldn't have married me to begin with.
How far along today? How big is baby? 17 weeks. Baby is size of a pomegranate
New/Interesting/Festering Symptoms: starting to get more out of breath walking upstairs
Appointments/US this week: no appointments until March and waiting to schedule our anatomy scan. Order will be in 2/28
Random Questions
Rants/Raves: my husband got the cleaning crew to come on Monday and I couldn’t be happier!
Will you take a babymoon? Have you ever? If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why? We wanted to take a baby moon to Hawaii but my husband’s grandfather has been in the hospital after a freak accident and isn’t doing so well, so we haven’t even had a chance to plan or decide if we are actually going.
How far along today? How big is baby? Pretend this was yesterday. I was busy. 20 weeks - half baked!
New/Interesting/Festering Symptoms I had bad heartburn all weekend but it's been better the last couple days.
Appointments/US this week Nope. I don't go back until mid-march.
Random Questions
Rants/Raves I'm over the weather and SO ready for Spring!!!
Will you take a babymoon? Have you ever? If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why? Nope. We did take a trip when I was pregnant with my first, but it was a trip with friends - not what I would consider a babymoon. We're going to visit my best friend in Montana in a couple weeks, so I guess that's our trip this time. I'm excited except that it was -15 there this morning. YIKES! Please see my Spring comment above.
How far along today? How big is baby? 18+2 since I'm 2 days late; sweet potato
New/Interesting/Festering Symptoms I've got a weird appetite, too. Sometimes I'm starving and can eat a ton, sometimes I'm starving and then find I can't fit much in, and sometimes I have zero appetite. My weight gain is fine though so I'm not too concerned about it.
Appointments/US this week Not for a while!
Random Questions Nah
Rants/Raves I THINK I felt the baby move yesterday. Either that or I was bizarrely having a bunch of muscle spasms in my abdomen, so I'm "calling it" and saying it was the baby.
Will you take a babymoon? Have you ever? If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why? No, we like to take infrequent but really big, outdoorsy vacations that involve lots of hiking and sightseeing, so a "just get away and go relax somewhere" vacation isn't our style. We spent 2 weeks in Ireland last summer, and we want our next big vacation to be a big tour of the US Southwest involving multiple national parks. We're also interested in exploring the great outdoors in Wyoming or Montana. I'd LOVE to do a big trip to Japan one day, but MH isn't enthusiastic about the idea.
How far along today? How big is baby? 18 weeks on Tuesday. Baby was a green pepper I think?
New/Interesting/Festering Symptoms Headache and lower back pain started this week. Yay.
Appointments/US this week Nope!

Rants/Raves DD got sick again this week and I'm SO OVER WINTER.
Will you take a babymoon? Have you ever? If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why? With DD we went 5 hours East just to hang out and get away from home. We went to a few movies. With DS we went 8 hours away to a Breaking Benjamin/Shinedown concert With this baby, I have no idea. We will maybe go a couple hours South to just get away for a weekend. I don't prefer to go anywhere too far just because I'm a homebody lol!
