    How far along are you/how big is baby? 20 weeks (OMG!) a banana!

    How are you feeling?     Good but tired. Always tired.

    Rants/raves/questions?     Is anyone getting the occasional Braxton Hicks contraction? They started for me last time late in 3rd tri so this seems early but it's pretty unmistakable.

    Any appointments this week?     Standard OB appt Monday - I'm planning on asking about the BH and what I'm starting to suspect is carpal tunnel

    GTKY: Any Easter or Passover plans?(Stolen)     Dinner at the ILs. It's always super crowded, they don't have as much space as they think they do so they pack like 25 people in a space that can comfortably host half that many. Plus it's not even a little bit child proofed so I spend the evening chasing DS around. Luckily DS and I will stay until about 630 then head home so I can put him to bed
    Bonus: Favorite Easter Candy?     Pretty much all of them lol! I'm not going to make any friends with my candy admissions but I love Peeps, Cadbury eggs (the big gooey ones) and jelly beans

    How far along are you/how big is baby? HALF BAKED!!! I can't believe we're all approaching the halfway mark and then close behind V-day! Apparently baby girl is a banana but she's measuring a little behind so she's a small banana. 

    How are you feeling?     SO GOOD! However I notice at the end of the day on days I do a lot I am exhausted and my feet/back are hella achey. I wasn't ready for this so early but I guess it's about that time. I went to target and then the park after work yesterday then my dad wanted to take the boys to toys r us then after they were asleep my mom wanted to go to target and by the time I got home (around 10pm) I was beat. 

    Rants/raves/questions?     DS2 finally got long enough legs this week to reach the pedals on his bike! Both of my boys are now always outside on either their bike or their scooter and it makes my "too much screen time" mom heart happy. 

    Any appointments this week?     Yup I had my AS Monday and my 4 week check up yesterday. Everything looks good and now I wait another 4 weeks for my next appt then schedule the dreaded GD test. 

    GTKY: Any Easter or Passover plans?(Stolen)     Not really. We'll dye eggs tonight probably and then have a hunt at home Sunday morning and do Easter baskets. Nothing big. 
    Bonus: Favorite Easter Candy?     CHOCOLATE

    @mrsbubbles-2  Yep, already having Braxton Hicks.  They show up more when my bladder is full or I try to move too quickly.  On a semi-related note, there's a kid in DS's daycare class named Braxton.  All by itself, the name seems fine, but I have a hard time understanding how you reach the end of your pregnancy and decide to name your kid after one of your symptoms.

    How far along are you/how big is baby?
    20 weeks!  I'm super psyched to be at halfway.  Baby is a banana.  @calimom2524 I spent several minutes trying to remember if the phrase "small bananas" is a thing.  I finally asked DH who informed me that the phrase is "small potatoes".

    How are you feeling?
    Good!  I've definitely reached the point where bending over is really uncomfortable.  I've also been trying to avoid heartburn by not eating too much in the evening, but it means that I have actually gone to bed hungry the last few nights.

    Rants/raves/questions?
    I've been feeling a little movement here or there for several weeks, but yesterday I started feeling a whole bunch!  We went to see Black Panther, and baby really liked it (we did, too).  I don't know if it was the bass in the music or what, but baby squirmed around the whole time, and has been pretty active since.

    Any appointments this week?
    Anatomy scan TODAY.  We're going this afternoon!  I'm excited to see baby again, and I've been starting to get nervous that something will be wrong, so I'm really eager to hear everything is okay.  Plus, we'll finally find out the sex!  DS's daycare teachers are all very excited, too, they were all trying to guess based on my bump shape this morning.  I'll be glad when we're past the guessing.

    GTKY: Any Easter or Passover plans?
    We're going to see my parents tonight and staying until Sunday.  Their town does an Easter egg hunt Saturday, so we'll take DS to that.  AND my brother will be there, so I'm extra excited.

    Bonus: Favorite Easter Candy?
    Of the candy you can only get at easter, I like the mini Cadbury eggs (NOT the big ones).  I also like the Starburst jelly beans.

    20 weeks. 

    How are you feeling?
    Pregnancy wise good. 

    Rants/raves/questions?
    DS had some sort of stomach virus last Wednesday. DH had it Saturday. I have been suffering with it since Monday.  

    Any appointments this week?
    Tuesday follow up ultrasound, at 17 weeks they were unable to see all the chambers of the heart and give us a definite answer on whether baby is boy or girl. So that and monthly appointment afterwards.

    18 weeks (though he keeps measuring big, so maybe closer to 19). He's the size of a sugar glider. 
    How are you feeling?
    Meh. Sleep is getting harder and harder so I'm tired. I went for a walk yesterday and was so exhausted afterwards. 
    Rants/raves/questions?
    I can't believe I'm almost halfway there. My friend had her baby yesterday and I'm so ready for my baby to be here. 
    Any appointments this week?
    I went last Friday for an emergency appointment after falling- little guy was going nuts in there, and mooned me and his grandma. My AS is on April 11th and I can't wait to see him again. 
    GTKY: Any Easter or Passover plans?(Stolen)
    At my ILs now for the first night of Passover. All I'm thinking about is bread. And how dinner won't start until after seven, so I won't get to eat a real meal until almost 9. Thankfully we're just doing one night. 
    Bonus: Favorite Easter Candy?
    Peeps!

    21 Weeks - Carrot. How appropriate on the timing of Easter being this week

    How are you feeling?
    First Tri exhaustion is rearing its ugly head again ugh
    Having some new sensations in one leg only. Its like hot burning pain in my thigh and then sometimes its like ice cold sensation. I believe this is related to my MS diagnosis and I'm concerned that MS symptoms are appearing during pregnancy, typically symptoms appear postpartum, not during pregnancy. 

    Rants/raves/questions?
     Rant- I went to an  egg hunt this afternoon with our 17 month old at our local university Olympic size pool and it was so disorganized they had all the eggs floating in the pool and made the kids stand around for a half an hour just watching the eggs float while the big kids took swim tests to be approved to go in the deep end. WTF. Also once the egg hunt was over they instructed all kids to give all the eggs back to reuse them again for next year. Toddlers and the concept to give the eggs  back that they just searched for? Yeah no. I paid $11 for that hot mess too.
    Rave- LO did so well all things considered. I was proud of her. She also is such a brave girl, when we went to the mall the Easter bunny was walking back to his station after taking a break and she spotted him and ran to him giving him the biggest hug. It was so sweet. I was definitely the crying kid when it came to any sort of costumed character so she didn't get her bravery from me. 

    Any appointments this week?
    Monday I have my repeat AS to get the profile and lungs they couldn't see last time.

    GTKY: Any Easter or Passover plans?(Stolen)
    Egg dying and my favorite pizza today (Jets deep dish)
    Visit to our local farm tomorrow to see the live baby bunnies and another egg hunt at Great Grampas nursing home
    Sunday Church and Easter Dinner at Grandma's- Gimme ham and cheese potatoes 

    Bonus: Favorite Easter Candy? Chocolate eggs filled with  fillings coconut, creme, caramel etc.
    or Jelly beans are always delicious. When I was younger I loved getting the traditional solid chocolate bunny. The hollow ones were such a joke. As were Peeps. Sorry peeps lovers.

    How far along are you/how big is baby? 18 weeks. Bringing up the rear for August!

    How are you feeling? I’m okay. Feeling huge and back pain is starting again. I really need to start walking on the treadmill and adding in stretching/yoga, but I’m just so dang tired at the end of the day. 

    Rants/raves/questions? Rave: we are picking up our new car tomorrow morning! 2018 GMC Terrain! Yay!

    Any appointments this week? Nope. Monthly check up 4/10 and AS on 4/17

    GTKY: Any Easter or Passover plans?(Stolen). SIL is visiting and we are just laying low. Dying eggs tomorrow with DS, weather is supposed to be crappy tomorrow , so will probably skip the egg hunt which is a bummer. Hopefully we can do a small one in the backyard for him sunday. 
    Bonus: Favorite Easter Candy? Cadbury eggs. I’ve loved them since I was little!
    Me: 34 DH: 37
