1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 23 weeks! The size of a small lobster!
2. How are you feeling?
Tired and big. Cannot seem to sleep. Going in search of a U shaped pillow today.
3. Any appointments this week?
Not till next week.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Feeling like we have a lot to do to prepare and it’s stressing me out. We don’t really have a name or a nursery or a car that baby will fit into (we have a smart car...) blah.
5. GTKY: What fad or trend do you hope comes back?
So hard to pick this week. I’m going with Barbie doll.
2. How are you feeling?
Good- physically better than yesterday since I got a good night’s sleep. Biggest symptoms are round ligament pain and uterine cramping.
3. Any appointments this week?
No- my next appointment is Friday of next week.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Rant- According to the bump, Baby is 11” and the size of a grapefruit this week. Where in the world do you find 11” diameter grapefruits?
Random: Last night I had a dream that my grandmother (who is deceased) was hosting a sip and see for my baby girl. I never directly saw Grandmother, just the back of her chair as she was rocking baby girl, but I did pick up my baby, who was only a few days old, with a scrunched up face and string bean limbs.
(Note: Still team green, but I’ve been wondering if I would dream about the baby.)
5. GTKY: What fad or trend do you hope comes back?
I honestly don’t pay much attention to fads, so I have no idea... (Although, there are a few that I hope will go away- bacon in and on everything is one- although that seems to be dying away.)
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 23 weeks, bump says grapefruit but I feel like last week's coconut was bigger??
2. How are you feeling?
Tired, large, the usual
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Rave:feeling the baby bears all the time and loving it so so much!! They are pushing around mostly in the morning and at night but it's fun to get caught in the middle of the day with a swift kick or punch to the abdomen
5. GTKY: What fad or trend do you hope comes back?
+1 to ddr! I'll say arcades in General! We used to actually have one in my very small town growing up and it was sold and eventually turned Into a gun store.. so having a fun place for kids and even parents to go again would be cool
Edit to add a rant: running to the bathroom in the middle of the night and dribbling the last few feet there is getting annoying...
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 19 weeks, mango/postcard
2. How are you feeling?
So tired and sleepy. The kids outside the womb re to blame. They are out for summer break and bedtime has been loosened. I used to crawl into bed by 8 and sleep by 9. Now we're getting to sleep 10pm+ and I have to be up by 430am. I don't do well with 6.5 hours - 8 hour gal!!
3. Any appointments this week?
Had one on Monday and a follow up ultrasound in two weeks.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
a.Fathers day is around the corner and no idea what I'm getting DH. Also his birthday is next week. I'm too tired to think of meaningful gifts.
b. I contacted a doula and this group of doulas charges by the hour and not a flat fee. Strange but I like it. Both prior births I've done 6-8 hours from hospital check in to birth. Let's hope this one doesn't decide to be a 40+ hour birth!
c. I'm glad the north is finally getting some warmer weather but usually May/June are not hell on Earth in Texas. We like to save that for July/August. I'm scared for those months now....plus preggo.
d. Last one - I'm excited to go camping with my little ones. Summer break is here and this will be our first outing of the summer. They are old enough to do a ton of stuff - next year camping will look very different with an infant and all the baby gear.
5. GTKY: What fad or trend do you hope comes back?
Not very much a fad follower. I just want lower expectations from working moms...is that fad?
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 22 weeks - a spaghetti squash!
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good... heartburn is getting a bit worse; I'm having to get up and eat at least once in the night to keep it at bay, which is getting a bit annoying
3. Any appointments this week? Nope - nothing for another two weeks, when I have my next midwife appointment
4. Rants/raves/questions? DH is away for work, which is both a rant and a rave... it's nice having the whole bed, but I am starting to miss him a lot
5. GTKY: What fad or trend do you hope comes back? Not really sure - like most of you, I can't say I really follow fads
Ok tired, heartburn, cant sleep so the usual. We actually had chipotle last night and I was so miserable with heartburn and felt so nauseous I could barely sleep. This morning I told hubby I wasn't eating it any more for the rest of this pregnancy and then I saw baby was the size of a chipotle burrito and we couldn't stop laughing
3. Any appointments this week?
OB visit on Friday and follow up US next week.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Rant - I am not one to wish time away and I know these last few months with DD will be special before baby is here but honestly I am over pregnancy and just want to fast forward to October to meet this baby.
5. GTKY: What fad or trend do you hope comes back?
Hmmm maybe the fashion and big hair of the 80s Not really but it would be funny to sit in work meetings with everyone dressed in 80s themed attire!
Still pretty normal. Occasional aches and pains in my back and ribs. Also my appetite increased like crazy this week, I keep getting up at night to eat something despite having snacks before bed. Feeling more consistent movement the past few days but not enough for DH to feel yet.
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope, I’m in the “boring” phase as my OB referred to it.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Favorite healthy(ish) snacks to keep the hunger under control?

@tropical1982 I drove up to see a friend in Ft Worth and it was 104F this weekend. I wanted to die, and I was barely outside. It's too damn early for that kind of heat!
@jynjer91 - I’m wondering if someone doesn’t know the difference between inches and centimeters. 11cm would totally be an accurate size for a grapefruit....
@jemmerjams I have had a TX grapefruit! DH is from TX so I was forced to try one. Not as bad because it was sweeter but still a big nope. Same as fresh from the tree in FL. I know they’re good for you but I’ll stick with oranges!

4. Rants/raves/questions? Feeling like there are too many things to do/organize. They’ll get done eventually, right? Future selfs problem, I guess?
5. GTKY: What fad or trend do you hope comes back?
Yoga pants as acceptable attire. It’s barely hanging on where I live, but so comfy!
