How far along are you/how big is baby? 19 weeks-mango How are you feeling? good but the heartburn has come back Rants/raves/questions? rave-people are noticing that I am pregnant and not just fat! Any appointments this week? yes I have my anatomy scan on Thursday and my friend offered to watch my DD so she doesn’t have to come! GTKY: Who is spring cleaning? Any favorite tactics? I’ve been on a selling binge right now so I’ve posted a bunch of clothes on eBay and have been selling off DD’s clothes on the yard sale sites since we are having a boy. Next on the list is to throw away all the clutter in the house
How far along are you/how big is baby? 20 weeks - a banana! How are you feeling? Pretty good, I suppose. Pretty confident I felt some baby flutters - last week I was just unsure, but this week I'm pretty sure. I get the same feeling occasionally and it doesn't seem to be gas related. Rants/raves/questions? I don't think so? My weight gain is starting to worry me a bit, but I"m trying to relax and let it not be a problem until my doc says it is. Any appointments this week? I don't have any appointments until April 16 Two more weeks. GTKY: Who is spring cleaning? Any favorite tactics? I don't spring clean per se - but every once in a while I"ll get energy enough/have enough time to actually tackle some big cleaning projects around the house. I don't really have a 'tactic' - but I like to focus on one room at a time so it doesn't seem so overwhelming. @melissaf22 Oh man - I can't wait til people notice I haven't just been getting fat! My students haven't said a word - so they're either just being really nice, are afraid to bring it up, or honestly don't notice.
@hezzer78 i think it was the dress I was wearing, it definitely shows off the bump but I personally just feel huge, I’m so much heavier to begin with then when I was pregnant before and the weight gain I’ve had so far makes me very afraid. In my file with my doctor it says obese pregnancy multiple times.
How far along are you/how big is baby? 19 weeks, mango
How are you feeling? Better now that I'm actually taking iron supplements. The staff at the MFM's office insisted I'm still in the "normal range" for my hemoglobin level in pregnancy, which oddly is below the normal range for non-pregnant people. I get it can be lower, but should it be tolerated that low?
Well I felt like shit in "normal range", and so far in 5 days of taking one SlowFe per day I feel more like my old self. I can actually walk up a slight hill now without feeling like I'm going to die from the exertion, and I'm no longer freezing to death all the time. So to hell with their "normal".
Rants/raves/questions? I'm ready for more consistent movements from the little one, or for my husband to be able to feel it, but that'll probably be a few more weeks. Boo.
Any appointments this week? I have a standard OB appointment on Wednesday, probably just pee in a cup, listen to the heartbeat, chit-chat sort of visit. I'm definitely going to ask about an ultrasound where I can video it, in which he's already said he doesn't care if we take pictures or videos, unlike the MFM's ultrasounds (technically). So I'd like to ask if he can order one so I can take a better video of the little one in there moving about for my in-laws.
GTKY: Who is spring cleaning? Any favorite tactics? Me, in preparation for a pack and move job. If I pick up something and I don't immediately have feelings about it, in the trash/yard sale it goes.
How far along are you/how big is baby? 21 weeks. Size of a Baseball hat How are you feeling? pretty good. Over my cold, finally! Feeling lots more movement on a daily basis. Rants/raves/questions? nope Any appointments this week? monday is our 20 week appointment, although we already know we're having another boy. GTKY: Who is spring cleaning? Any favorite tactics? My husband and I just cleaned the house before my in-laws came for Easter. Best way to keep the house clean.... actually have people come stay for the weekend.
