  • How far along are you? How big is baby?

    20w6d, as big as a box of dryer sheets apparently 

    How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?

    Feeling good! Heartburn has been strong the last couple days, but manageable. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions?

    I bought DS and this baby their first matching shirts! And, I'm ridiculously excited about my fabric purchase this morning! I got a panel for me that says "Baby it's cold outside" and panels for DH and DS that have a buck with a red and black plaid scarf around its neck, plus coordination gray fabric and black and red plaid fabric. I've got our Christmas pajamas planned! Now I just wait for the fabric to make them!!

    GTKY: Are you doing now what you wanted to do as a kid when you grew up?

    Not even close...I always wanted to be a doctor, now I work in banking/loans lol.

    How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms? Good! Like @echo-charlietango reported in the Symptoms thread, bladder capacity seems reduced, pewp. But aside from that, lots of regular movement, so I can’t complain. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Eh, nothing notable. Oh, my rant is that it feels like I’m one of the last ones on the entire board to have an anatomy scan, whine whine. But a week from tomorrow! Whee!

    GTKY: I’d say it’s about as close as can be. I did want to be a vet for the longest time but abandoned that idea for whatever reason. But I was always writing stories (or rather, story starts!) when I was younger. To have a husband who supports my crazy dream of being an author is outstanding.

  • @CecilB93 Congrats on planning your holiday jammies!
    @PensiveCrayon A week from tomorrow is getting closer every day :heart:

    How far along are you? How big is baby?
    Same 20+6 as you two ^^

    How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?
    I feel gassy and crowded already. Still no movement, trying to not worry.

    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    Dear Diary, I sold my old car today. Happy because cash is cool and I don't need two cars. Sad because that thing was like an extra appendage for the last eight years. I could "thread a needle with that bird" :bawling:  But I'm getting more comfortable in my new car. Keyless ignition is so fancy.

    GTKY: Are you doing now what you wanted to do as a kid when you grew up?
    As a kid I really wanted to be a voice actor, but I told people "marine biologist" instead because it drew less scrutiny. But turns out that the best way to get into voice acting is to be a regular actor first - and that's just not my style - I prefer to be behind the scenes. So now, my current position as a Stay at Home Editor is pretty far removed from original goals, but it fits me better :smiley:

  • @CecilB93 matching pjs... So cute! 
    @PensiveCrayon hope your week till the a/s flies by! 
    @echo-charlietango I know it's not the same, but I think being an audio book reader would be super fun! 

    How far along are you? How big is baby?
    20+5 baby is bigger than a banana...a plantain? 

    How are you feeling tlhis week? Any new symptoms?

    preganacy symptoms, feeling pretty much fine.  In general, totally and completely exhausted, but that can be attributed to the whole house prep process. We are hoping to get on the market next week, which means we come home from work and do projects for the evening. I am struggling to form sentences. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions?

    nah- just chugging along.

    I actually wanted to be an interpreter since 4th grade. I don't really remember seriously considering other vocations. 

  • @morgantu That’s awesome that you’ve wanted to be an interpreter for so long!
    That reminds me of a program I learned about years ago - it was voicing daily news/local events for the visually disabled. I vaguely recall it being provided by some libraries, and all volunteer driven. I need to look it up again :smiley:

     Hi, just now starting to post.... had a lot going on with DS and summer vacations. I am 21w 4d and I dont remember how big baby is. 

    How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms? 

    I'm feeling ill this week, I have HG and have been living on Reglan and Zofran. New symptoms this week are trouble breathing. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? 

    Rant my LO has a heart arrhythmia and I need to go see a prenatal cardiologist. My doctor says he isnt super worried about it because LO is a jumping bean. He did however put me on "light duty" as he called it.... making it impossible to work my summer job (I bartend at a local bar). I get stir crazy during the summer when I'm not at school. I'm very worried about LO, of course... and DS just doesnt understand what exactly is going on. I cant be running with him outside, and picking him up a ton. It's hard for the both of us. Hopefully the specialist calls me tomorrow and I can get an appointment and get some answers.

    GTKY: Are you doing now what you wanted to do as a kid when you grew up?

    I am a teachers aide now and I am going to go back to school and get my degree for English and Lang. Arts secondary education. I wanted to be a Nurse, and I was almost done with nursing school and I decided that I cant do it.

    DH and I: Married 6/9/2017
    DS: birthday 12/17/14

  • @kirstey728 welcome! Sorry you're on light duty, hopefully you can get in with the prenatal cardiologist soon and get more answers!!

    @morgantu interpreter, neat!! I've always wanted to learn sign language and be one of those people at concerts who stand on the side and sign the lyrics.

    20w3d size of a banana

    How are you feeling this week? Any new symptoms?

    I’m good for the most part but have a headache again today. Also like others small bladder, and that thing where even when you go it won’t empty all the way. Good times.

    Rants/Raves/Questions?

    Just very glad to have had my a/s and know everything is looking good. 

    GTKY: Are you doing now what you wanted to do as a kid when you grew up? (Shamelessly stolen from the end of month girls)

    Well, I wanted to be a teacher, and an archeologist, and a psychologist, and now I do nothing sooo, no. I did go to school for secondary education but my student teaching revealed it wasn’t for me and I ended up being a paralegal. That wasn’t exactly my dream job but it was good enough. I’m glad I can be home with my babies. I’ve never had a clear direction of what career I wanted even though I was good in school. I always wanted to have a family though.

    App hates me so I can’t scroll up to find who I want to tag. Blerg.
