How many weeks? What size is Baby?
20 weeks, the size of a banana
How are you Feeling?
pretty good. I get tired really fast. I wonder if exercising more will give me more enery or just make me more tired.
Any appointments this week?
Yes, my prenatal check is on Tuesday
Rants/raves/questions?
None today
GTKY: When you were growing up did you have your own nursery or bedroom or did you share with a sibling?
I grew up in a small 3 bedroom house and had 4 siblings. Everything was shared. I don't think any of us had nurseries.
Banana
How are you Feeling? Good, but I tire very easily lately.
Any appointments this week? AS on the 29th
Rants/raves/questions? Nahh.
GTKY: When you were growing up did you have your own nursery or bedroom or did you share with a sibling? I’m an adopted only child. I was spoiled like no other lol.
Both... I'm 5 years older than my sister so I had my own room for a while. We shared a room from when I was 7 until I turned 11, then we got our own rooms.
18 weeks! Size of a baby tribble.
How are you Feeling?
No different from last week!
Any appointments this week?
Anatomy scan is tomorrow morning! So excited!
Rants/raves/questions?
I hate this gross humid hot weather ordinarily, dealing with it while pregnant is even worse!
GTKY: When you were growing up did you have your own nursery or bedroom or did you share with a sibling?
We always had our own rooms! I do vaguely remember staying together for a short while but I think that was because we wanted to (my parents study had bunk beds) rather than because we had to.

2. How are you feeling: Okay, but working out is getting harder. I’ve been running regularly and not sure how much longer I can keep it up.
3. Appts: AS tomorrow! I don’t know the gender yet and I can’t wait to find out!!!
4. Rants/Raves/Questions: My boyfriend is out of town this week for work so I’m single parenting our daughter while pregnant and I’m so tired. So over it!
5. GTKY: I shared some and had my own bedroom some. I HATED sharing... I’m a neat freak and my sister was the opposite so it didn’t work so well.
20 weeks, banana
How are you Feeling? Mostly okay. I'm getting depressed already. It comes in waves... and sometimes I feel so overwhelmed and hopeless. I know I have so so much to be thankful for, but depression doesn't care... it makes it all seem like too much. Going to speak to my provider about medication risks this week. I had severe PPD with my first, and again with my second. So I know it's coming. I don't think I'm going to try to push through it this time without medication. My DH agrees, and also thinks it's for the best. I just don't know if I should start now, or wait till after she's here.
Any appointments this week? Yup, AS this morning, and my 20 week check up on Wednesday I think.
Rants/raves/questions? We finally started clearing out the baby's room this weekend. Still have a ways to go, but seeing the glider go in there and knowing I'll be nursing in it in 20 weeks was a bit surreal. I know I'm pregnant, and I know she's coming...but actually getting the nursery and registry together is making it seem so much more official. Plus, I'm finally feeling her daily, so I put my Doppler up for sale. Just nuts...I can't believe we're halfway there!
GTKY: When you were growing up did you have your own nursery or bedroom or did you share with a sibling? Both... at times all three kids shared a room. Sometimes it was just my sister and I. Once we were teenagers though we had our own rooms.
18w, artichoke
How are you Feeling?
I'm okay, mostly just tired. Lower back gets sore often but that seems par. Contemplating if I want to restart taking my anxiety meds, on one hand it's not terrible and I can cope without and it's better for baby. But on the other hand, maybe I'd be less stressed/anxious/up and down mood wise with them. I know what MH would prefer lol.
Any appointments this week?
No.
Rants/raves/questions?
I'm tired this morning so I'm grumpy. No real rants, raves, or questions. MH told me to knock it off with the nesting last night after I randomly started cleaned the bathroom at about 8pm (in my defense, it was pretty disgusting and all I did was scrub the toliet, the sink, and mirror)
GTKY: When you were growing up did you have your own nursery or bedroom or did you share with a sibling?
Always shared a room until my sister moved out when I was a HS, I think sophomore or junior year?

How many weeks? What size is Baby?
18 weeks, baby is the size of a sweet potato or artichoke
How are you Feeling?
Feeling ok, better than first tri but still so tired with lower back pain. I also have a hard time sleeping at night, getting comfortable, trying to sleep on my side, ugh I know its onlymore difficult. I'm feeling better mentally but these hormones are tough on my anxiety and I know MH is being patient but I feel like my mood is everywhere-- going to start taking up yoga to see if it helps.
Any appointments this week?
AS on Tuesday!! So excited!
Rants/raves/questions?
Babys heart rate was a bit lower this last visit. nothing concerning but of course I was worried with it being 20 bpm lower- still in good range though.
GTKY: When you were growing up did you have your own nursery or bedroom or did you share with a sibling?
Always wanted my own room but shared with a sister until I moved out and went to college ha
How are you Feeling? Same as I have been, exhausted, back/sciatic pain, headaches have really picked up the last week... I need to really push the water. These 105 heat indexes aren't helping I'm sure
Any appointments this week? My anatomy scan is tomorrow morning! I'm excited to see baby but mostly incredibly nervous. Praying baby looks perfect!
Rants/raves/questions? Just a ball of nerves waiting for tomorrow... Work sucked for the third shift/week in a row. I was there over an hour late charting. Didn't drink or eat enough and going 26+ hours without sleep is taking it's toll for sure even though it's only once a week. So much harder to do pregnant.
GTKY: When you were growing up did you have your own nursery or bedroom or did you share with a sibling? I've never asked if I had my own nursery (my parents were super poor when I was younger and lived in a trailer when I was born). When we moved I shared a room with my half sister for a while (I wanted to, I doubt she did). She moved out when I was in 1st or 2nd grade and I got my own smaller room.
Yay for so many anatomy scans! I don't love the bad parts of being pregnant, but I love once I can feel baby kicking and rolling more. It is my absolute favorite and I missed it once DS was born, so I'm sure I will once this baby is born. I'm trying to enjoy it in case it's our last baby!

Rainbow baby due 12/2021 - Team Green
@middleschoolmommy I get where you're coming from about wanting to fast-forward. I don't want to skip it altogether or anything, but I do often daydream about those days right around my due date when I know I'm so close! Trying to enjoy the moment, but also just really looking forward to meeting my babe.
How many weeks? What size is Baby? 18 weeks and we are artichoke status now. Getting big!
How are you Feeling? Normal! Some weird back pain here and there, but I'm not 100% sure that's pregnancy-related.
Any appointments this week? Nope. Still dying of anticipation for my anatomy scan in two weeks. I am SO excited!
Rants/raves/questions? I am really stoked to feel baby moving while I go about my daily life. At first, I only really noticed it when I was lying down quietly, but now I feel it when I'm moving around and keeping busy. Didn't realize how much I'd missed those little thumps and bumps!
GTKY: When you were growing up did you have your own nursery or bedroom or did you share with a sibling? I grew up an only child, so I had my own room. By 4th grade, it was covered with NSYNC and Justin Timberlake posters. Then adolescence hit, and I switched those out for Blink-182 and Good Charlotte. Yikes. Those were the days.
19weeks/ mango
How are you Feeling?
I somehow missed the 2nd tri energy burst. I'm exhausted and tire out very easily. My vagina/cervix has been hurting, which I think is just RLP, but it's a beeotch. I walk a little funny when it hurts.
Any appointments this week?
nope. 2nd AS next week
Rants/raves/questions?
So, this boy is stubborn like his brother, but in a completely different way. He refuses to move! Yesterday was the most I felt him move in almost a week. It does nothing for my mental health/peace of mind. It doesnt matter how much I poke, jiggle, move, whatever, he won't move unless be wants. I'm already preparing myself for two headstrong boys and the inevitable fights.
GTKY: When you were growing up did you have your own nursery or bedroom or did you share with a sibling? Until I was fifth grade, we lived in a two bedroom house. I shared a room with my little brother and sister. We all got our own rooms when we finally moved. It was heaven.

@lachnessmomster Thank you so much
How are you Feeling? still waiting for that second tri energy boost. Im so tired every day by like 1pm I can barely keep my eyes open. But if I take a nap I end up feeling even more gross than before the nap.
Any appointments this week? Yes, anatomy scan Tuesday 6/19
Rants/raves/questions?
GTKY: When you were growing up did you have your own nursery or bedroom or did you share with a sibling? Luckily I didn't have to share due to being the only girl after 3 boys, and with there being a 6 year age difference between me and my youngest older brother. My brothers had to share though. Two of them in one room and my oldest brother got the basement bedroom. I still remember the wallpaper that was in my room when I was a baby. It was little bears sitting on clouds with little suns and rainbows.
