Not sure who normally does this but didn't see it...
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
2. How are you feeling?
3. Any appointments this week?
4. Rants/raves/questions?
5. GTKY: If you could have a total kid birthday as an adult now (piñata, candy, party games, goody bags)...what would be your theme?
Re: Sunday ticker change 4/6
No specific person posts for this one, always seem to be someone different I blame it on busy weekends!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
15 weeks and the size of an orange according to the bump, every app I use seems to have a different opinion on that.
2. How are you feeling?
Been feeling great, besides being constantly stuffed up with my allergies or self diagnosing with rhinitis.
3. Any appointments this week?
I have a naturopath appointment on Sunday and am hoping that she will finally use the Doppler to hear that little heart beat.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Is it bad to sleep on my stomach? Or will it just get too uncomfortable once I’m bigger and I shouldn’t fear about hurting baby??
5. GTKY: If you could have a total kid birthday as an adult now (piñata, candy, party games, goody bags)...what would be your theme?
I grew up in a large blended family and birthday parties were only ever done at home with a couple of friends from school, so I would love to have a big pool party where everyone could be invited.
@jandmnumber1 Agree with @knottieamusements - when it’s uncomfortable then it will be time to stop! I’m a stomach sleeper and even until the end with both my kids I was able to modify a bit to one side and still almost be a stomach sleeper.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 15 weeks - navel orange/haas avocado depending which app you ask
2. How are you feeling? Ok. Still nausea on and off but haven’t been actively sick nearly as much. Sore nipples are back in full force this week but the tiredness has eased so I’m feeling much more productive. I think I’m starting to feel some movements but not positive. A lot of the time I don’t really feel pregnant at all which is nice to have a break from feeling awful but worrisome at the same time!
3. Any appointments this week? Nope - next midwife apt is very end of the month and then 5 weeks until my anatomy scan!
4. Rants/raves/questions? Not this week!
5. GTKY: If you could have a total kid birthday as an adult now (piñata, candy, party games, goody bags)...what would be your theme? I don’t know - I throw fairly elaborate parties for my kids (really for me) so I feel like I’ve alredy fulfilled a lot of that! Between my two my favourite themes so far were circus, candy shop, under the sea/nemo, and winter wonderland!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
17, babies are pomegranates
2. How are you feeling?
Pretty good. Some low back pain, but nothing awful.
3. Any appointments this week?
Yep. I see my OB tomorrow, have a chiro appt on Wednesday, then have a fetal echocardiogram and ultrasound Thursday.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I made a donut/nest out of my snoogle the other day and had a nap on my stomach. It was fantastic.
5. GTKY: If you could have a total kid birthday as an adult now (piñata, candy, party games, goody bags)...what would be your theme?
Outlander. Everyone could wear plaid, and drink whisky. Maybe not quite a “kids party” but it would be fun!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
16, Dill Pickle
2. How are you feeling?
Pretty darn good!
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Rant- With DD my OB went on maternity leave about a month before my due date. I had no idea she was pregnant- it seemed like I just showed up to my appointment one day and she was super pregnant. No big deal, but I really, really didn't like the replacement that I was assigned. Fast forward to this time around.. I was super excited to have my OB, whom I loved, back and then on Saturday I got a letter in the mail saying that she was leaving the practice and now I have to pick a new one. I'm relieved that I'm not as far along and can at least shop around for awhile, but seriously!? Fingers crossed that I like the first one I try.
5. GTKY: If you could have a total kid birthday as an adult now (piñata, candy, party games, goody bags)...what would be your theme?
Hmmm.. Barbie or Carnival themed
BFP #2: due 6/30/2017, MMC found 12/7/2016
BFP #3: due 10/21/2018
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? I am 18w- Baby is the size of an articoke.
2. How are you feeling? Feeling OK. Super stressed out- packing for a move and my job is on thin ice....but I felt the baby move this weekend...and today I feel it for sure- no more doubts
3. Any appointments this week? Therapy. haha does that count?
4. Rants/raves/questions? Requests for good vibes/ prayers/ juju/ whatever you mommas can send my way! Things at work are really rough and I need to stop being so stressed.....
5. GTKY: If you could have a total kid birthday as an adult now (piñata, candy, party games, goody bags)...what would be your theme?
Harry Potter....not even a question. #potterhead #ravenclaw #wizardontheway
@jandmnumber1 Sleeping on your belly is perfectly safe as long as it's comfortable. I don't think it's ever dangerous per se... but it will get uncomfortable the larger you bump gets.
@jennybean80 I think whiskey should be a requirement of every kid's party.
@MissBridg Sorry you're so stressed. I'm in the same boat with both the move and my job and it's just really sucky timing for both those things.
2. How are you feeling?
Nauseous if I’m not eating at all times. Exhausted still.
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I can’t wear my normal thong underwear anymore. They feel SO UNCOMFORTABLE! I’ve been wearing the hunt granny panties that I bought after I had DS. They’re so unattractive and I don’t even care.
5. GTKY: If you could have a total kid birthday as an adult now (piñata, candy, party games, goody bags)...what would be your theme?
Wine!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 18 weeks Sugar glider or croissant
2. How are you feeling? good. over did it this weekend so my back is sore. Started back up with a chiropractor so that will help!
3. Any appointments this week? Just chiropractor appointments
4. Rants/raves/questions? just a time I really hate having extra weight on me. I know it makes it harder to feel the kid
still haven't gotten confirmation the things I have felt very randomly over the past weeks has been the kid. The feelings haven't increased and the location does seem all over.
5. GTKY: If you could have a total kid birthday as an adult now (piñata, candy, party games, goody bags)...what would be your theme?
oh man. so many fun ideas! I think a Pixar themed one would be fun! Harry Potter would be fun with sorting, wands, potions (fun drinks) ahh soo many fun things! bounce house, lots of different candy, tons of snacks, and maybe a grill out for actual food or pizza.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
18 weeks - Artichoke
2. How are you feeling?
Good!
3. Any appointments this week?
Two weeks until Anatomy Scan...I’m impatiently waiting.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Who all is feeling consistent baby movement?! I know this is super personal and varies from pregnancy to pregnancy, but this third time Mom is surprised I’m not feeling much yet? Nurse didn’t think I had anterior placenta from 12 weeks scan...guess I just expected more movement at this point!
5. GTKY: If you could have a total kid birthday as an adult now (piñata, candy, party games, goody bags)...what would be your theme?
I second a Harry Potter themed party!! That or maybe some sort of celebrity couples party where you had to dress up and guess who everyone was!
@SweetSweetTooth recommend the Dr Scholl's gel inserts for plantar fasciitis. Doesn't solve anything but helped reduce pain a ton after the first few weeks of wear. They're also pretty cheap.
I'm probably going to describe this terribly, so bear with me...but if you sit down with your shins and ankles facing the ground (butt touching feet), and then pop your feet up so just your pads of your toes are on the ground, and then sit back on your heels, you should feel a reallllly good stretch up in your foot. It's super uncomfortable and painful, and you will probably have to use your hands to support your weight. But I find doing that helps stretch everything out.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 18w, artichoke
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good! On babymoon this week and have been getting up early to work out in the morning which feels amazing. Doing a ton of walking and having minimal aches and pains. Still having to pee a lot though which is fun when exploring a national park lol
Also, feeling movement every now and then which is so exciting!!
3. Any appointments this week? None this week
4. Rants/raves/questions? None for now
5. GTKY: If you could have a total kid birthday as an adult now (piñata, candy, party games, goody bags)...what would be your theme? This is a hard one.. probably Disney themed, either Little Mermaid or Moana since those are my 2 favs. Either way there will need to be a bounce house.
I've had plantar fasciitis act up occasionally ever since I sprained my ankle severely a couple years ago. A tip from my physical therapist at the time was to do "toe yoga" which you can google/youtube and also use the little foam toe separators for pedicures to help stretch your toes and the surrounding muscles. Apparently it's especially helpful for runners. I second though that stretching helps and having supportive shoes. I seem to get into trouble whenever I wear certain wedged or heeled shoes to work for too many days in a row.
