  • How far along are you/how big is baby? 
    22 weeks. Guinea pig.

    How are you feeling?

    Pretty decent. Getting winded going up stairs, but what can ya do? 

    Rants/raves/questions? 

    We had an amazing Saturday. Temperatures got up to 80 and we spent all day outside having fun. I wish I lived in that kind of climate all year. Now it's in the 40s and down pouring. 

    Any appointments this week? 

    Yes! On Thursday. I'm sure we'll go over my anatomy scan.

    GTKY: (Stolen) What is a great song and/or movie from the year you were born?
    Brian Adams: heaven 
    As for movies, it was a great year: breakfast club, back to the Future, clue, teen wolf, the Goonies, and weird science. Just to name a few.

  • How far along are you/how big is baby? 22 weeks today, he's about the size of a coconut - but a large one because he's measuring ahead of schedule. 

    How are you feeling? 
    Still feeling good but getting achy.  My feet hurt.  

    Rants/raves/questions?
    My mom is coming up this week to join me for the Drool expo in Boston.  Lots of fun baby products and hopefully freebies! 

    Any appointments this week? 
    This is the first week in a while I haven't had anything.  Next OB appt is in a couple of weeks.  

    GTKY: (Stolen) What is a great song and/or movie from the year you were born?

    1975 was a pretty epic year for music so I have a lot to choose from but I'll go with The Hustle

    Not bad, just tired. Also my swelling is acting weird. I swell up randomly, and it stays for a while then leaves.

    See the BF thread. Just work related, but damn does it piss me off.

  • Late to the party this week! 

    How far along are you/how big is baby? 23+2, grapefruit

    How are you feeling? 
    Not bad, just had a little scare yesterday morning with some blood when I wiped. I chugged a ton of water and laid down but when I woke up I felt a little crampy so OB sent me to L&D to get checked. Baby is fine and cervix is closed, and I’ll be following up with my OB tomorrow. 

    Rants/raves/questions? 
    Ugh, just stressing about DS’s birthday in a few weeks. I’m such an awful procrastinator! We’re only having grandparents over, but I still like to do a theme and decorate a little so just trying to focus on that plus getting the nursery ready. 

    Any appointments this week? 
    Follow-up tomorrow and then Friday I have my bi-weekly vaginal and monthly growrh ultrasounds.
