  1) How many weeks are you? How big is baby? - 21 weeks, endive. Does anyone actually know what an endive is...?
  
  2) How are you feeling? - Good! As long as I take my meds I feel completely normal these days. I keep forgetting I’m pregnant, but baby kicks to remind me. Cute.
  
  3) Any appointments this week? - Nope. Regular OB next week, but nothing this week.
  
  4) R/R/Q - Besides some work drama, I feel really good about most things these days! Yay!
  
  5) What is your favorite fall activity? - I don’t do many fall related activities, but I love fall in general. Even when it’s crappy outside it’s nice to sit inside with a cup of tea.

  1) How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
  23 weeks! A grapefruit?? I think grapefruits are smaller than coconuts...Amazon's weekly newsletter says baby is the size of an ear of corn, which sounds more like it! The lil guy is 11.3 inches!
  
  2) How are you feeling?
  Fine besides my lower-back lol (I need to get a heating pad)
  
  3) Any appointments this week?
  Nope
   
  4) R/R/Q
  DH got to feel some good kicks this week! It was awesome! I'm really loving being pregnant
  I just found out last night another one of my friends is pregnant! (That makes 2!)
  I'm really hoping my other friend gets pregnant soon. They've been trying pretty much this whole year. She was asking me the other day if I used ovulation strips and had a brand to recommend, but I didn't. She got tested and made sure everything is working so I guess it's just a matter of time  
  
  5) What is your favorite fall activity?
  Does Thanksgiving count?

  1) How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 21 weeks, endive. @grebretso An endive is a bitter, leafy green, usually people top it with like salsas, pates, or other chopped appetizer stuff. It's like an edible, leaf cup. The only reason I know this is because I worked for a catering company in college and it was ordered for the fancy-shmancy events.  
  
  2) How are you feeling? Okay-ish. Some nausea and funny-stomach stuff. I vomited a couple times randomly last week after I waited too long to eat and I had a full 24 hours of diarrhea a couple days ago that resolved on its own. Also experiencing abdominal pain related to diastsais recti if I use my ab muscles when I shouldn't. Also, I didn't think it was possible but my boobs got bigger, and my areolae have definitely darkened. Anyone else getting a linea negra? Mine extends to just above my navel now.
  
  3) Any appointments this week? Yes, I finally have my AS tomorrow and I'll be doing my gender reveal on Saturday! It's going to be so hard to not know for two full days!
  
  4) R/R/Q None!
  
  5) What is your favorite fall activity? Going to the pumpkin patch, drinking spiced cider and attending my hometown's harvest fair. This time of year is even more exciting now that I have two LOs who are excited by every jack-o-lantern and Halloween decoration.

  @eliseirene31613 I used the clearblue ovulation test strips! I was tracking my cycle and using the strips and as it turns out I was not ovulating when my cycle app said I was, but 3-4 days later, according to the strips. I would recommend them very easy to use. And I guess it worked lol.
  
  Anyway.
  
  1) How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
  22 weeks, grapefruit? Which is bigger than a coconut apparently? Ok. I keep looking at baby's length on a ruler, I can't believe he's so big! Remember when our babies were sesame seeds? Lol.
  
  2) How are you feeling?
  Still lower back issues, plus getting over a cold... At least I have energy again.

  
  3) Any appointments this week?
  Not this week.
  
  4) R/R/Q?
  Dreading having to assemble all the Ikea nursery furniture that just arrived at my house lol.
  
  5) What is your favorite fall activity?
  PSLs. And corn mazes and pumpkin patches. We go every year with friends of ours who have bigger kids and it is SO FUN.

  Just got to snuggle on my friend's 5 month old baby girl 😀😀 and my dog did well with the baby being here

  @ksdelong20 Those are the ones we used too. Got pregnant on month three of using them! So much cheaper than a lot of other options, and just as accurate. I have a lot left too.

  5) What is your favorite fall activity? Just being in fall. I don't get out much these days but when I was younger and spryer I used to love the football games/tailgates/bonfires. Now my game is more family visit to the orchards, if I can swing it. I love watching DD experience all the fall things, seeing her excitement, and getting to live vicariously
