1. How many weeks? How big is baby? - 23, grapefruit. My other app said grapefruit at week 19. Hmm!
2. How are you feeling? - Physically okay, but mentally I took a hit this week when I had spotting one morning. It was only a little, but it looked relatively fresh. Called the OB office who reassured me and said it’s common with low lying placentas (which I have), and to take it easy and call back if it happened again. So far so good, but my mindset is right back to first-tri nervousness and being scared of looking at the tp every time I go to the bathroom. I guess we’re never out of the woods.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? - The reply to the question above is ranty enough!
4. Any appts this week? - Nope.
5.Favorite Fall tv shows? - Whatever show I’m currently binging on Netflix. I don’t pick shows based on seasons.

@grebresto- sorry about the spotting I would feel the same way. I just hope its gone for good and you start to feel more confident again soon. I still get worried with any sort of pain/minor cramping. There is no reason I should have pre-term labor, but I am always terrififed.
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 23 weeks as well! I never believe the fruits any more
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good. I have some upper back pain that I think may come from worse posture and sitting on the couch in the evenings. Nausea is finally mostly gone, but still comes randomly at some moments.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? I think I have said this before, but I am still struggling to not sleep on my back. I start out of my sides, but wake up on my back. going to talk to my OB about it, but thinking i may have to get one of those big pillows on both sides so I can't roll in my sleep.
4. Any appts this week? Nothing this week or next. I am traveling to Denver this weekend/monday and then have a work thing Tues-Thurs and then the FL keys for our baby moon next Friday-Mon. So not app until 11/6, which is pretty much 25 weeks. O well. I hear the 24 week appt is pretty pointless (especially since I have a doppler at home). I am starting to feel small movements finally, but definitely not consistently! I really hope as this baby goes I will get some of those dance parties some of you are getting!
5.Favorite Fall tv shows? I have been watching A Million Little Things and so far its good!

1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 25 weeks - a cauliflower!
2. How are you feeling? Pretty awesome! My back is finally feeling better and I'm really enjoying being pregnant! Baby's kicks are getting stronger! Others can feel and even see them now!
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? Facebook Marketplace is my new best friend! I got a 97-piece fall/winter maternity wardrobe for $150!! (I don't know why this lady had so many clothes It was wayyy more than I needed) I kept everything that I liked and that fit and gave some of the smaller stuff to a friend and I've still got a trashbag-full of clothes that I'm going to try to re-sell or donate! All I really need now is a maternity coat, which I am going to try to borrow or find cheap somewhere! I also want to add that I saw a ton of baby/kids stuff and clothes and diapers being sold on Facebook Marketplace, so definitely gonna be using it regularly in the future!!
Also, I had my first baby shower on Sunday! It was so fun! It was just a small group of friends from work, but we had a blast! Aaaaand I've got 3 more baby showers! My mother-in-law is throwing me one at Thanksgiving, my mom is throwing me one at Christmas (neither of them live here), and my church is throwing me one in January! So I'm hoping we won't have to buy anything (or hardly anything), which is good because we can't afford to!
4. Any appts this week? I have the glucose screening tomorrow and a regular OB appointment next thurs
5.Favorite Fall tv shows? I don't do seasonal shows, but right now hubby and I are on the second season of Man In The High Castle and I think a new season of Daredevil just came out so we'll be watching that next!
. How many weeks? How big is baby? 23 weeks, grapefruit. So my original due date was Feb. 20, but I kept saying there's no way I'll go all 40 weeks, this will be a valentine's baby. I saw at my doctor's office this week they now have me as 2/14/19. But I'm staying a Wednesday girl because my last pregnancy was a Wednesday ticker and for that one I went into labor a Wednesday a week ahead. So while my new due date is 2/14, I wouldn't be surprised if I go into labor on 2/13.
2. How are you feeling? hungry usually. regular baby kicks now.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? I don't like going to new doctor offices and doing the same thing all over again. I'm going to my friend's wedding in a few weeks and I want to pull off a joke or a prank of some kind with the help of our other friends. I haven't come up with any good ideas yet and none of the other friends seem to have suggested anything so far.
4. Any appts this week? So I did my regular ob appt yesterday and he was still concerned about the baby's head so he sent me to see the high risk doc today. The high risk doc did an ultrasound on every body part of the baby, lots of pictures of everything. Then the doc says that the baby's head is slightly small but not medically significant. Then she asks if i have a small head, which I do, so the baby has my genes. Unfortunately, I have one more appt with high risk to make sure baby continues to grow. 5.Favorite Fall tv shows? Well it used to be a fall show, now they keep pushing the start date further and further. Top Chef.
Thanks @JamieH2000 and @disneybaby84! I’m not that worried anymore and haven’t had any new spotting, but it was definitely unnerving. With all the spotting I had in first tri you’d think I’d get to catch a break! Oh well. Baby is moving around a lot which is reassuring!
DS born 2/18/2019 DD born 4/1/2023 Baby #3 EDD 11/21/2024
@grebretso I'm so sorry about the spotting. You really do deserve a break!
@JamieH2000 have you tried a snoogle? It has been super helpful for keeping me on my side. I'm not sure if it's common but the two mamas who are the furthest along in my yoga class actually aren't comfortable lying on their back anymore so maybe at some point your body will just force you on to your side.
@disneybaby84 FX it all turns out to be nothing to worry about.
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 24 weeks!!! It feels like such a milestone. A cantaloupe. 2. How are you feeling? Pretty good. Some aches and pains this week and less energy but I think that's not pregnancy related. 3. Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: work. UGH. It's a shit show. My supervisor is awful under stress. He's making everything 10 times worse than it already is. Rave: yesterday I had my last yoga class for this session and it was bring your partner to class day. The teacher taught the partners Thai massage techniques. Seeing as DH couldn't make it, the teacher demonstrated on me and it felt amazing! I'm begging DH to do whatever he can to show up to the next one even though it's quite the long shot. 4. Any appts this week? Nope. 5.Favorite Fall tv shows? With DH gone I haven't been watching much tv aside from hockey. I've got a few things lined up on Netflix but haven't gotten around to them.
Hey! I’ve mostly been hanging out in the PGAL check-in, but thought I’d venture over here as well.
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 25. Cauliflower sized.
2. How are you feeling? Good! Large. But good.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? Started seeing movement from the outside in the past week!
4. Any appts this week? Nope, appts are currently at the beginning of the month.
5.Favorite Fall tv shows? DH and I have been enjoying Manifest. It reminds me of LOST, just not on an island, lol.
@JamieH2000 I have the same problem with staying on my side! I’ve tried shoving pillows on all sides of me, but I just end up shoving them off in my sleep. Let me know if you come up with a good trick!
@grebretso I’m so sorry to hear that you a spotting scare. It can be so unnerving. Hugs!
@grebresto- yay for no more spotting AND feeling movement that is the best!
@eliseirene31613- wow, that sounds like a steal on the clothes! I am going to have to check out facebook market place for some cloths i think!
@disneybaby84- sending prayers for continued good news on the scans. That is good that the MFM didn't find it medically significant! You should def stay with us on Wednesdays! I am going to hope if you go early, its 2/13 and NOT 2/14. I really don't care what day I go as long as the bday isn't Valentines day! I feel bad for anyone with a holiday Bday and Vday isn't even a real holiday, but it will be forever hard for them to have parties on their actual bday, etc.
@becks_726, @wrensnest- I haven't bought a snoogle/pregnancy pillow yet, mainly because of the cost and then i hear a lot of people don't like them. I am going to see if my mom friends have one I can borrow and if I love it, then buy my own!

1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 25 weeks! Cauliflower
2. How are you feeling? pretty good! I’ve been more consistent on working out so that helps. Currently I don’t have hip pain, but I have pulled some muscle in my crotch/groin on my right leg. So that’s fun.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? nah!
4. Any appts this week? nope!
5.Favorite Fall tv shows? I’ve been enjoying a new show that started up, The Rookie. Had to go to bed before it was over last night bc I need lots of sleep #preggoproblems
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 25 weeks, cauliflower lol.
2. How are you feeling? Back pain forever.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? I got so much done for the nursery this past week, I'm so proud of us lol. I'm working as hard as I can to get things done ASAP because with how bad my back is now, I get the feeling I'm only gonna get more useless as the weeks get on lol. The sooner the better.
4. Any appts this week? Midwife appointment Monday, so I'll go in for my glucose test and blood work Friday before.
5.Favorite Fall TV shows? Oooh. DH and I just started the Good Place and I am liking it so far.
@JamieH2000 and @wrensnest, you could borrow my husband to make sure you don't sleep on your back. I got a pregnancy pillow off Amazon but he still wakes me up whenever I'm on my back, thanks sweetheart, I didn't just fall asleep lol
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 24 weeks, cantaloupe
2. How are you feeling? Good! Feeling baby move more and just some minor "bad" symptoms here and there
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant ahead, feel free to skip it. My 2 best friends, literally since preschool, live out of state in Alaska and Maryland. Obviously the one in AK, won't be coming to my baby shower. The one in MD can and last month I ran some dates by her and Dec 1 works best so I told my mom who agreed that would work. I have been casually telling friends I don't see as often, who live further away, that it's on the 1st when they ask so they can plan. We have a big family reunion coming up this Sunday(my mom's mom's family) and I was planning on handing out the majority of invitations then. Well today I was talking to my mom about finalizing the time and she asked if we could move it to Sunday because one of my cousin's kid has a high school bingo fundraiser on that Saturday so my aunt and roughly 7 cousins wouldn't be able to come. I got frustrated and cried in the grocery store parking lot and drive home while my poor husband didn't know what to do. So do I move the shower to accommodate family who live 20 minutes away or keep it Saturday to make it easier for people driving 2-3 hours who probably wouldn't be able to come on Sunday?
4. Any appts this week? Nope
5.Favorite Fall tv shows? Binge watching Grey's anatomy (season 10) with my husband and Vampire diaries when he's not home
@JamieH2000 I wake up on my back all the time! I think I read somewhere that it's really not a big deal until later on and by then you will naturally sleep on your side because it will be too uncomfortable to be on your back. I still try to sleep on my side, but I don't panic when I wake up on my back.
@ksdelong20 if it were me I'd keep it Saturday, I made the mistake of having mine on Sunday and my dear friends from out of town weren't able to come, but they would've come had it been on Saturday! It just depends on who you're closer to and who you want to be there more I guess??
Yay @grebretso! I'm glad you're not spotting or worried anymore!
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 23, grapefruit.
2. How are you feeling? Still some nausea about once a week, but vomiting hasn't happened in a couple weeks. Backaches and pain related to trying to use my separated abdominal muscles. My boobs are ginormous and I've got a linea negra that extends above my navel, but it's pretty light in color.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? Still getting used to the fact that I'm having a DD when I was convinced since day one that I was carrying a boy!

3. Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rant ahead, feel free to skip it. My 2 best friends, literally since preschool, live out of state in Alaska and Maryland. Obviously the one in AK, won't be coming to my baby shower. The one in MD can and last month I ran some dates by her and Dec 1 works best so I told my mom who agreed that would work. I have been casually telling friends I don't see as often, who live further away, that it's on the 1st when they ask so they can plan. We have a big family reunion coming up this Sunday(my mom's mom's family) and I was planning on handing out the majority of invitations then. Well today I was talking to my mom about finalizing the time and she asked if we could move it to Sunday because one of my cousin's kid has a high school bingo fundraiser on that Saturday so my aunt and roughly 7 cousins wouldn't be able to come. I got frustrated and cried in the grocery store parking lot and drive home while my poor husband didn't know what to do. So do I move the shower to accommodate family who live 20 minutes away or keep it Saturday to make it easier for people driving 2-3 hours who probably wouldn't be able to come on Sunday?
4. Any appts this week?
Nope
5.Favorite Fall tv shows?
Binge watching Grey's anatomy (season 10) with my husband and Vampire diaries when he's not home
@ksdelong20 if it were me I'd keep it Saturday, I made the mistake of having mine on Sunday and my dear friends from out of town weren't able to come, but they would've come had it been on Saturday! It just depends on who you're closer to and who you want to be there more I guess??
Yay @grebretso! I'm glad you're not spotting or worried anymore!
2. How are you feeling? Still some nausea about once a week, but vomiting hasn't happened in a couple weeks. Backaches and pain related to trying to use my separated abdominal muscles. My boobs are ginormous and I've got a linea negra that extends above my navel, but it's pretty light in color.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? Still getting used to the fact that I'm having a DD when I was convinced since day one that I was carrying a boy!
4. Any appts this week? None, not for another 3 weeks.
5.Favorite Fall tv shows? Real Housewives of Atlanta and American Horror Story
