How far along are you/how big is baby? 21 weeks today, he's a pomegranate

How are you feeling? My feet are killing me.  Admittingly, I was on them all weekend but they were throbbing last night.

Rants/raves/questions? I was very excited to start my KonMari clean out this weekend and I got rid of so much crap. 2 bags of trash, 4 for good will and 2 bags worth that will go to ThredUp. My closet looks amazing.

Any appointments this week? We have a follow up scan this afternoon to check on baby's good kidney and confirm its doing it's job at 100%. I'm feeling confident but the anxiety is always there.

GTKY: What is one thing you would tell yourself to NOT DO when you were in your Tween/Teen years? I would tell myself to spend more time working on my self-confidence and less time chasing boys not worth my time.

@laurad75 I need to check out that cleaning method!

How far along are you/how big is baby? 22 weeks; coconut

How are you feeling? Presently in-between shifts so I’m exhausted right now, but overall I’m feeling like I have a little more motivation. I need to start working out because I feel like I get winded so easily now!

Rants/raves/questions? Ranting because I miss DS terribly. DH and I both worked this weekend so DS was at my mom’s on Saturday night and MIL’s last night. I haven’t seen him since Saturday afternoon but he’ll be home when I get up later so I’m looking forward to that! I texted his teacher and he’s having a good day as school so far! Wednesday is our overnight trip to Baltimore!

Any appointments this week? No. Just hoping to get my MRI scheduled.

GTKY: What is one thing you would tell yourself to NOT DO when you were in your Tween/Teen years? Just go straight to nursing after you graduate and don’t waste time getting that Forensic Science degree! And save your money!

Firemanswife11 · April 2018

@laurad75 good luck at your scan! Thinking of you. Also, I clicked your link about the decluttering and that sounds so, so good. I need to look more into that.

hfooter · April 2018

@laurad75 way to go! I really need to do that with my entire house.

How far along are you/how big is baby?
21 weeks, 12oz

How are you feeling?
Tired. DH has been gone since Friday and I’ve been having pregnancy insomnia.

Rants/raves/questions?
I’m so glad the nausea is finally over!
I’m ready for summer. Come on sun!

Any appointments this week?
Nope

GTKY: What is one thing you would tell yourself to NOT DO when you were in your Tween/Teen years?
I would tell myself to stop wasting time and take a break from school till I figured out what I wanted to do. I have a billion credits and ended up with a marketing and advertising degree and I really wish I would have just focused on going to school for art instead.

laurad75 · April 2018

Regarding the KonMari method: I recently read The lifechanging magic of tidying up which is the KonMari book and it was an interesting read that got me motivated to declutter and get rid of a lot of stuff that's taking up space. The discarding of anything that doesn't 'spark joy' is the first part and then eventually you move to the 'tidying up' which is finding a permanent home for literally everything you own. Some of it is a little silly and unrealistic, for example she says you need to clean out your purse every day and put each item in its 'home' - I'm not doing that. There is also a very weird folding technique that I don't think I can get on board with. That all being said, I am hoping to use bits and pieces for her advice to clean out before our move in June and start the new home with a good organization plan. I'm happy to ship the book to anyone who wants to read it.

hfooter · April 2018

@laurad75 I’ve read a good majority of the book and laughed at the purse part...umm no. My purse lotions home is in my purse lol where it belongs! Why would I want to repack my purse everyday?

derbysquirrel · April 2018

How far along are you/how big is baby? 23 weeks. Size of the golden idol from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Over a pound now!

How are you feeling? I feel pretty good. Sinus infection/flu is mostly passed. I'm starting to become pretty slow and pathetic at getting up.

Rants/raves/questions? The floor guy should be here soon to start tearing out the carpet! Yay! I don't sleep well in our upstairs guest bedroom. Boo. A queen bed is not big enough for the two of us plus our two dogs.

Any appointments this week? Still no. Same answer every week. I should be grateful to not need them, and I am, but nothing to report except for a quick "hi and bye" every 5 weeks.

GTKY: What is one thing you would tell yourself to NOT DO when you were in your Tween/Teen years? Start smoking. I'm sure I wouldn't listen to me either, but that's the big one.

laurad75 · April 2018

@hfooter Exactly. The reviews on goodreads for the book are hilarious. ie: Do you like talking to furniture? Do you believe shirts have souls? Are you insane? This might be the book for you.

How far along are you/how big is baby? 22 weeks/coconut

How are you feeling? Pretty good, although I have been having pain/tightness in the upper half of my bump since yesterday afternoon. I Googled like crazy but it doesn't seem like it could be anything bad, likely just growing pains or constipation. Or it could be my umbilical hernia that bothers me sometimes, although my OB thought that would actually get better during my pregnancy as my uterus grows.

Rants/raves/questions? They are currently doing maintenance on the women's room at work and I have to pee soooo bad!

Any appointments this week? Nope, nothing until 4/27. FX for everyone with A/Ss this week!

GTKY: What is one thing you would tell yourself to NOT DO when you were in your Tween/Teen years? Stress about everything. I wish I had enjoyed being young more and had known that adulting would be infinitely more stressful than being a teen and that it was okay to make mistakes back then.

7425cait · April 2018

How far along are you/how big is baby? 21 weeks. A baseball hat which seems really big.

How are you feeling? Mostly good. Waiting to pop.

Rants/raves/questions? I don't know whether I have allergies or not, but my throat is dry and stratchy leading to a constant cough, even at night.

Any appointments this week? Nope.

GTKY: What is one thing you would tell yourself to NOT DO when you were in your Tween/Teen years? I would tell myself NOT to date Brian, and also not go into the obvious career choice and think harder about what I really want to do for the rest of my life.

Mkrosieo · April 2018

How far along are you/how big is baby?
22 weeks
How are you feeling?
pretty good just tired a lot
Rants/raves/questions
bump keeps scrolling me to the top each time I go to the next question. Boo
Any appointments this week?
Had my anatomy rescan today and baby was cooperating and we where able to see the heart so all is well.
GTKY: What is one thing you would tell yourself to NOT DO when you were in your Tween/Teen years?
I wish I could tell myself there’s no rush to be a adult and to take the time to enjoy being a kid.

I first heard of Konmarie on Gilmore girls lol but it did make me look into it more.

So so very frustrating that it keeps scrolling randomly to the top.

laurad75 · April 2018

@Mkrosieo Yes! Emily was purging everything in the house that didn't spark joy in the reboot. My purge wasn't quite that dramatic but I threw out a lot of stuff.

princesslockness · April 2018

How far along are you/how big is baby?
23W, a Grapefruit.

How are you feeling?
Tired. Super grouchy about work drama.

Rants/raves/questions?
NBR: My head coach for softball keeps telling this 'joke' and its not very funny. If he actually switches teams with me, I might quit. I like JV, and don't want to deal with the parents and drama of upper class men.

Any appointments this week?
Not until the 27th. BUT that one is another AS as my history of IC makes me have 5,000 dildo-cam scans. UGH

GTKY: What is one thing you would tell yourself to NOT DO when you were in your Tween/Teen years?
To stress so much about Volleyball and Basketball. Softball and Livestock were plenty to keep me busy. I didn't need to add that extra stress and work.

KonaCoffeeBean · April 2018

Happy Monday Mammas!

How far along are you/how big is baby?
21 weeks. Probably the size of a potato. One of those big ones that McDonald's buys for french fries.

How are you feeling?
I've been having a lot of heart palpitations, which is freaky, but reputable parts of the internet tell me are normal.

Rants/raves/questions?
I got a message from my OB's office yesterday while I was in a meeting saying that I had a low-lying placenta. I call back this morning to ask the obvious follow up question "how low is it?" My OB just left for a three week vacation.

Any appointments this week?
In related news, no appointments for three more weeks.

GTKY: What is one thing you would tell yourself to NOT DO when you were in your Tween/Teen years?
Do all the stupid teenage crap you want, but don't be mean.

laurad75 · April 2018

@KonaCoffeeBean I have a low placenta too and they told me it doesn't matter a this point since it will likely shift so there is no sense in stressing about it now. It's just information at this point.

legallykate · April 2018

@KonaCoffeeBean My OB said she likes to see the placenta 2+ cm away from the cervix, and mine was only 1.5 so they are monitoring it. But I did some Googling and it sounds like some docs think 1.5 is far enough away. I am guessing your OB is not too concerned with where yours is if you just got a message about it.

rocknrrollmom · April 2018

I'm late to the post, but happy to hear everyone is doing well and the follow up scans went pretty good this week!

How far along are you/how big is baby? 20 weeks, banana. US tech said baby was 12 ounces.

How are you feeling? So tired. All the time. Aren't I supposed to have more energy by now?!

Rants/raves/questions? House is almost ready to list! Did a big purge in my closet and had about 20 garbage bags full of shit to donate, sell, and trash. It looks and feels so, so much better

Any appointments this week? Just had my anatomy scan and follow up with MFM. Baby seems to be growing according to plan. Still strong on team green. Baby was moving around quite a bit, which was neat to see. MFM spent most of the time chatting about my MRI and neurology follow up and it sounds like c-section is back on the table. Woof, not what I was hoping for but definitely don't want to risk anything just because I prefer a different birth plan. We'll see what happens after my next MRI in July.on

GTKY: What is one thing you would tell yourself to NOT DO when you were in your Tween/Teen years? I would tell myself to stop being so self conscious! I didn't realize how much of a badass I was until my mid twenties and I wish I would have had that confidence sooner.

livinthesunnylife · April 2018

@rocknrollmom sent you a PM, can you check your inbox?

nugs41 · April 2018

How far along are you/how big is baby? 21 weeks! Endive?

How are you feeling? Overall good. A couple waves of nausea this week has me nervous that some of those first tri symptoms are back.

Rants/raves/questions? A rave is all of the movement that I'm feeling! So exciting. Any else having CRAZY dreams? Mine are pretty much nightly and are just so realistic but so weird!

Any appointments this week? Nothing for the next few weeks. Had the followup AS last week (couldn't get all the pics they needed at 18wks) and all is well so that was a huge relief. Also had a "meet the doctors" night at our hospital, and got so much information, so now time to focus on nursery planning

GTKY: What is one thing you would tell yourself to NOT DO when you were in your Tween/Teen years? Those years were pretty good for me so I wouldn't make any huge changes, just maybe not over tweeze my eyebrows haha.
