    @paytonpedro I always wake baby up when I try to lay on my side/stomach. It’s so nice to feel him/her but then it keeps me up because I’m excited lol

    @paytonpedro yeah I am a STM at 19+1 and I haven't really felt anything yet. Sometimes at night I think maybe I do, but it is probably just my imagination. Such a bummer. Feeling movement is the top thing that keeps me from panicking about how the baby is doing.

    @paytonpedro I've been feeling him more and more despite the stupid placenta and always on my right side! I'm also enjoining just laying in bed and feeling my little gymnast :)

    I'm starting to notice a pattern to my little lady's movements.  She's always super active during the time I am laying in bed with DS in the evening before he goes to sleep.  I am hoping he and my husband will be able to see/feel her movements either this week or next!

    We have tickets to take our son to Monster Jam this Saturday and I am actually really excited. Mostly because I wasn't able to go the first time my husband took him and I am excited to see how he reacts. :)

    @paytonpedro I also rarely feel my little girl move and I’ll be 22 weeks on Wednesday. (Also anterior placenta) I try not to get worried but it’s frustrating. One day I’ll feel her 5 or 6 times really strong and then it may be a couple days til I feel her again. My doctor said all is fine but I can’t stop my mind from going to the worst of course. I also lay on my left side slightly on my belly and that seems to be when I feel her most. I hope they start to get more consistent soon!! For all of us!

    @hillbillywife ummmm, those sound amazing!  I love chocolate and coconut together.  

    @runsomewhere I can totally understand that.  I was nervous before mine and I didn't even have that experience.  I am sure everything is fine, but I will be thinking about you!

    @cseley321 I’m right there with you. 18 + 4 and I don’t think I’ve felt anything either. Can’t wait to start feeling those movements for sure. A little jealous of all you ladies feeling your little ones already (but also super happy for you!)

    Took a little hiatus this weekend from the bump but I’m back! 

    My random is that I’m crazing SO MUCH MILK. From what I’ve seen that’s a pretty common pregnancy craving. It could definitely be worse for sure. Now my constant craving of ranch covered salads is probably not as common lol

    Ahhh I'm torn! That's a great deal, but they don't have the new one that you can use starting at 8 pounds. I was hoping to get that one so I can use right away without an infant insert, but that deal is really great...any experienced Tula users that can weigh in?

    @runsomewhere thinking of you tomorrow. We had lots of issues with my twins so I totally get being freaked out by appointments. I hope everything looks fabulous!

    @zande2016 I’ve never used my FTG with a newborn (I got it when my twins already fit standards) but you can get an insert for like $20 used on the BST sites but they are bulky and annoying. I got a ring sling and a Tula mystery wrap for when this babe is small.

    We are, thank you! They just liked to cause trouble (large SCH, then marginal previa, then SUA for twin B, then borderline polyhydraminos). Other than being 7 weeks early and needing some NICU time to feed & grow they were perfect! They’re now totally healthy and normally developing 17m olds.

    @comealongponds that's great news, glad the kiddos are doing so well. That must have been a stressful pregnancy. Props for you for doing it all over again mama!

    I have been thinking about getting a toula, so thanks for the tip. I used a katan when DS was a newborn but he did get too heavy for it quickly. 

    My birth center requires you to keep a food log and I have not done one yet. My next appointment is on Thursday. I am trying to figure out if I should try to put one together from memory or just admit I have been slacking off. The midwives only looked at it once during my last pregnancy.

    @zande2016 i never bought a tula with my first, but I have a wrap (baby ktan) that is easy to use until she is big enough for the tula, so I am doing that instead of the FTG. I made that decision after I read the FTG is more stressful on your back when baby gets heavier. I already have issues with my back, so that was a common enough complaint from reviewers and bloggers to make me steer clear

    @zande2016 I wish the FTG existed with DS. I have the standard and even without the infant insert he fit in it pretty quickly, there is a trick you can do to roll up a blanket to prop it under their butt/in between their legs to get them into the proper position without the insert. I thought that was better, especially in the summer. But if I had to do it again I would probably go straight to the FTG to skip all the hassle but I haven’t looked too much into it. I tried the ktan with DS too but he hated it. 

    @runsomewhere fx everything looks great! I’ll be thinking of you! 

    @ashbub714 +1 for milk cravings, especially when blended with ice cream  :p

    @zande2016 I love our tulas! I never used mine with DS when he was an infant but I'm going to get the infant insert for this one. I also have a few ring slings to use to use when LO is born, I'm torn on the FTG  Tula, but I think DH would kill me if I bought another baby carrier!

    @ashbub714 I craved milk and all milk products like crazy with my first. However, like @paytonpedro this pregnancy milk just hurts my stomach. 

    @runsomewhere hope you have a great scan! I was super nervous, too--but it's the way with all pregnancies.

    Ooh, a Tula for that much sounds so tempting!! I have an original ergobaby that I really love, and I have a mei-tai infantino carrier that worked really well for my DD. I used to take walks around the neighborhood carrying DD in the infantino on my back, and DS in the ergobaby on my chest. It's a good workout! This summer DD is going to have to walk, though. She's so clingy--I know it's going to be a battle!

    +1 for milk cravings. I have a bowl of cereal every day and always drink the milk after, something I'd usually give to my cat...she's been giving me the stink eye lately since there's no leftovers for her.

    @foxbaby2016 I totally stalk the Birth Announcements on the other boards and the birth stories. I get teary eyed with a lot of the baby pictures, then reading the birth stories, I cry. However, I appreciate the birth stories because they are soooooo different and it's been calming me down from when the time comes for me.

    @cseley321 dang itttt!! I want a Tula SO BAD. Why do I find out on Wednesday?!?! Have to at least go look. 

    ETA: there’s only 3 prints left and I don’t love any of them so I don’t feel so disappointed anymore lol. 

    @coco305 yay!

    @foxbaby2016 s’mores are my favorite!

    @hillbillywife Omg I have to make those marshmallows immediately. 

    @ashbub714 I haven't craved straight milk, but I've been craving cereal with milk and drinking a ton of hot chocolate made with milk, both of which are unusual for me.

    @foxbaby2016 @zombiehoohaa I also stalk birth announcements and birth stories! I get so disappointed when I go to birth stories on a board and it looks like it will be new but then its someone just saying, "Yay, can't wait til I get to post here!" 

    I also stalk HDBD on the boards where people are already giving birth. Is that weird?

    I'm also feeling the baby a lot on certain days and less on others. When I do feel him it's usually in the am or at night when I'm laying down and DH has been able to feel him. So cool! Trying not to worry when I don't feel him much, also I'll admit I don't pay too much attention most of the day if I'm busy. 21+2 today, can't believe it! 

    @runsomewhere thinking of you! 

    I got a Moby wrap in excellent conditions for $20, and I put the Lille carrier on my registry hoping one of my aunts will pick it up lol
