1. How many weeks? How big is baby? - 25, cauliflower.
2. How are you feeling? - Ok! No new symptoms, even kind of used to having a bump now.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? - I love being able to feel the little guy kicking all the time. He’s so active!
4. Any appts this week? - Nope, not until the 28th.
5. What is your favorite baby item so far either purchased or on your baby registry? - Hmm. I haven’t purchased anything besides a couple pj’s, they’re really cute though. I’m excited to buy a stroller!
DS born 2/18/2019 DD born 4/1/2023 Baby #3 EDD 11/21/2024
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 27 weeks - Lettuce sized.
2. How are you feeling? Woof, I feel wrecked today after doing both my GTT and Tdap yesterday.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? DH has been really helpful this past week as I’ve been sick and mostly useless. He’s really always helpful, but he’s gone above and beyond lately and I’m very thankful.
4. Any appts this week? Regular OB appt yesterday, with the Tdap, GTT, and a few other labs thrown in. Follow-up growth scan next week!
5. What is your favorite baby item so far either purchased or on your baby registry? Not getting much this time around since this is our second girl and we kept everything from last time. I do want to get an Owlet monitor this time though and DH said he was on board (DD1 is medically complex and spent her first 6 months in the hospital. I know we’re going to be paranoid about this LO not being on constant monitors, and I think the Owlet will help us relax a little).
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 26 weeks - kale, which oddly feels like one of the more accurate comparisons we've had lately.
2. How are you feeling?
Pretty good, except for suddenly developing headaches, dizzyness and tingling extremities. I'm going to call my OB's office, I think.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions?
I can't believe the second trimester is almost over! By the end of the week I am 3 months from my due date.
4. Any appts this week?
No.
5. What is your favorite baby item so far either purchased or on your baby registry?
I think the stroller. I can visualize us getting so much good use out of it! I haven't bought/received any yet but I'm also excited about baby carriers. I want a ring sling for sure and have an ergo and a stretchy wrap on their way to us. I'm also interested in trying a woven wrap.
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 27 weeks, lettuce apparently. I think the pic is romaine lettuce. Mkay.
2. How are you feeling? Not too bad actually. Back pain is improving with my whole specialist regime.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? I am NESTING LIKE NOBODY'S FREAKIN BUSINESS. AM I THE ONLY ONE?
For real though, nowhere in my house is safe. I dusted the walls of my master bedroom the other day and vacuumed behind all the furniture.
4. Any appts this week? Nothing till MW on the 19th.
5. What is your favorite baby item so far either purchased or on your baby registry? Oooh definitely the nursery glider/recliner. I'm keeping that thing forever. The dresser too because I know he'll get many years of use out of it. And it's pretty.
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 27 weeks - lettuce lol
2. How are you feeling? BIG and old lol! It's getting harder to get out of bed! Putting on socks and shoes is starting to get more difficult. I still have back aches sometimes, but other than that, I feel great and am still loving being pregnant!
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? How am I almost done with the second trimester already!? I think the first tri was definitely the longest! This one flew by, and I know February will be here before we know it! So much to do!!!
4. Any appts this week? Nope but we are starting our first Lamaze class tonight!
5. What is your favorite baby item so far either purchased or on your baby registry? I'm excited about the bedding and the clothes! ...and well, everything!
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 24 weeks, cauliflower or ear of corn
2. How are you feeling? Big, just stretched out in the abdominal area and short of breath when I lie down at night which is no fun. Baby girl is extremely active and seems to be kicking her way through each day and most of the night, too. Also dealing with some insomnia, waking up around 2 or 3am and can't fall back asleep until 4am-ish.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: DH is on the east coast for work and I am dead. Between DS-3yo, DD-16mo being KTFU, and working my full-time job, I just cannot. To top things off, I got a call from DS and DD's daycare saying they were sick, so I had to figure all that out in addition to my hectic work schedule!
4. Any appts this week? None, not until the week of Thanksgiving.
5. What is your favorite baby item so far either purchased or on your baby registry? No baby registry since DS, but the most useful item, besides diapers, were the muslin blankets. DS and DD were summer babies, so they were an awesome, light-weight option for swaddling. Plus they work well for a play area on the grass or floor during the tummy-time months and they work as an excellent cover-up for nursing! Let's also not forget their general usefulness for wiping up any and every kind of bodily fluid.
@eliseirene31613 I'm with you on the socks and shoes! Just started having to sit and cross my leg to get socks on, shoes I slip on and dont tie...
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 26 weeks! Kale
2. How are you feeling? Feeling more pressure and stretching across my abdomen. Is it really contractions like the app says? Cause that's crazy
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? I have no idea what to wear for maternity photos. I have this idea of me in a flowing red or green dress out in the snow but I'm not really photogenic or that glamorous to pull it off.
4. Any appts this week? Nope
5. What is your favorite baby item so far either purchased or on your baby registry? I bought a soccer jersey for the team my husband follows which we used in our announcement and absolutely love the little shirt, shorts and matching socks.
@MrsCaliRN sorry you’ve been so overwhelmed with work and kids. Hopefully your DH returns soon. @changadee I’ve had the urge for organizing baby things just haven’t had the time, but when I have had time I’ve thrown myself into it, so yes I guess I am nesting.
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? Technically 26 weeks tomorrow,but like I said I’m a Wednesday girl. baby i guess is kale 2. How are you feeling? back pain, hungry, short of breath 3. Rants/Raves/Questions? struggling being pregnant and working. 4. Any appts this week? none 5. What is your favorite baby item so far either purchased or on your baby registry? This baby has two themes. One of the themes is sheep, I have sheep wall decor, stuffed sheep musical lullaby, sheep foitie pajamas. Also the other theme is disney princes. I ordered a crib blanket on Etsy with disney princes and it should ship soon, can’t wait.
1. How many weeks? 25 How big is baby? Cauliflower
2. How are you feeling? Done with being pregnant. 3 more months of this shit.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? I miss alcohol and food!!
4. Any appts this week? I had one on Tuesday. OB basically said she thought the continued US checks are overkill in my case and I don't really need them. Thankful to be hearing that now and not after another 3 months of them. I have one in a couple weeks and then I'll probably hold off at least until after the holidays.
5. What is your favorite baby item so far either purchased or on your baby registry? Last pregnancy my lifesaver was a baby swing that was passed down to us. Based on that and the raves I've heard about the rock n play, I bought a RNP this time around and really hoping it will come in handy! I will feel much better if LO sleeps in the RNP than the swing.
