Upcoming Appointments: anatomy scan and 20-week appt tomorrow!!
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Just sciatica. Lots of wiggles. No current cravings.
Rants/Raves: We might not be moving into our new house after all. There’s a major health concern that we all signed a contract about (sellers would fix at their expense). Well they’ve been dragging their feet and we are supposed to close Monday. So looks like we will be living with my in-laws for a while because we so close on our current house Monday.
Baby is the size of a(n): As tall as a Starbucks Venti Cup!
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team Green
Upcoming Appointments: A week from today for our AS! Woot Woot!
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): I am feeling pretty good. I do have 2 knots in my back between my shoulder blades and spine (one on each side). I was in the Weekly Random for last week and someone mentioned that it was her pregnancy pillow....That makes me sad. I will try sleeping without it tonight and see what happens.
Rants/Raves: None, I don't think ETA: I can feel where the babe is in my belly, where it is really hard, I don't feel many specific movements but it is comforting to feel when the babe is or isn't on my right side.
Questions: None this week
GTKY: If you could own a "vacation home" where would it be? I would love a mountain house where I can access a ski resort quickly
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Nausea came back last week and I’m back drinking my Sparkling Mama drinks. I’ve been really wanting iced tea and cold things! Also dealing with sciatica.
Rants/Raves: Just still in shock we are having a baby girl! DH has been so adorable and just telling anyone and everyone 😂.
Questions: Nope
GTKY: If you could own a "vacation home" where would it be? Oh this is tough. I would love the mountains but being able to be in a warmer climate!
DD/Weeks + Days: Feb 8 20+2 Baby is the size of a(n): endive
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out on Friday!!!!
Upcoming Appointments: anatomy scan on Friday 💃🏻
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): 0 cravings. Exhausted but mostly from the two kids I’m chasing around on the outside. Occasional headaches but not as bad as they were.
Rants/Raves: I’m so excited to find out if this kid is a Boy or girl. I’m hoping more than anything it’s a girl but expecting to find out it’s a third boy.
Questions:
GTKY: If you could own a "vacation home" where would it be? Anywhere. I could do a cabin by the lake or a beach front somewhere and be just as happy. Or maybe sknewhere in Italy.
@daffodil_shoe Oh man, that’s such a bummer with the house! Hope they get it fixed, stat! So exciting for your appointment tomorrow, hope baby takes some good pictures ❤️.
@burr1371 What a bummer about the knots in your back! Hope they resolve quickly! It’s so cool to know where baby is!
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Good, tired, and finally getting more hungry!
Rants/Raves: Don’t wish for kicks. First time last night, kicking woke me up at 4am and didn’t stop/he wouldn’t settle until 5am. WTF baby brudder?! I love baby kicks, but seem to have completely forgotten they can keep you from sleeping...
Questions: Can kicks cause BH? He keeps rolling and kicking and then I get a BH... I probably need more water today but can’t remember if baby can cause them.
GTKY: If you could own a "vacation home" where would it be? Ummmm south of France!
@craftywitch Too funny about little man waking you up with those kicks. I’m curious if baby movement can cause BH because I ran into the same think last night and I had to change how I was laying for them to chill out.
Baby is the size of a(n): the red staple from Office Space
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Pink!
Upcoming Appointments: tomorrow for my a/s
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): I feel good! No complaints. Love second tri.
Rants/Raves: my friend just had her baby yesterday! He’s so cute and I’m so excited for baby snuggles again as my toddler round house kicked me this morning trying to squirm away from the tyranny of pants
Questions:
GTKY: If you could own a "vacation home" where would it be?
I wouldn’t. I like going new places all the time and hate the idea of feeling like I’m going somewhere over and over and over.
DD/Weeks + Days: Feb 8 20+4 Baby is the size of a(n): microphone
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Pink!
Upcoming Appointments: Still unknown until we get up to CT and go through the process of finding a new OB.
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): No specific cravings. Heartburn in the evenings or during long car rides. Baby is not a fan of long car rides either, because she will start kicking.
Rants/Raves: We bought a car and can now legally drive places! We drive up to CT tomorrow to start looking at rentals. Seeing family and friends has been AMAZING, but I think hubby and I are both ready to have a steady place that just belongs to us and the cats again. The cats definitely have travel exhaustion because now they both run away when either of us approach them.
Questions: My dad is pressuring us to put a baby swing on the registry because he says constant motion was the only thing that would calm me as a baby. However, from what I've read, that's highly dependent on the individual baby and a swing could be a waste of money. Thoughts?
GTKY: If you could own a "vacation home" where would it be? A mountain cabin, in the woods, somewhere cold.
@daffodil_shoe So sorry to hear about the house! Hopefully they get their act together soon.
@burr1371 It might be that the style of pregnancy pillow is not right for you. The C-shaped one I got from a friend gave me knots, but I love the U-shaped one I got on Amazon.
@noxacanthus Yay for having a new car without worries! Hope you don't have any issues finding a rental! Also, you never know what baby will want. I know my nieces and nephews were all different in liking certain things but honestly you won't know what will be worth it or not until baby arrives. Personally I'm just getting the things that I can get a deep discount on or whatever.
@jvk2012 depends on the sellers! There’s a major mold issue in the attic (a bathroom fan was vented to the attic instead of outside). They signed an amendment contract to remediate the mold. All they did was get an expert opinion saying it would be best to take care of it when the roof needs to be redone. So now they haven’t done anything. We are absolutely not agreeing to buy this house with mold, and then be on the hook to pay for it ourselves down the road. So we basically said: do what the expert say now, or we are walking away.
@noxacanthus generally babies (especially brand new) do enjoy constant motion, because that’s what they are used to from being walked around in your uterus. (That’s why they are more active in utero when we sleep/lay down too, because they aren’t being rocked to sleep). The swing was a lifesaver for us. I also did a lot of baby wearing.
@noxacanthus, it does depend on the baby 100% and just because you liked motion as a baby doesn't mean your baby will. We borrowed a swing from a cousin and it came in handy a few times but I was glad we didn't buy it. If you can find one cheap or borrow one that may be worth it until you know how baby feels about the swing. Also, some babies like side to side motion while others like forward and back, some swings have the option of both.
Baby is the size of a(n): IDK. Probably something for which the size is super relative.
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: 💙
Upcoming Appointments: Nextvweek for regular doc. Just had AS last week!
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Some heartburn. Moods!! Not too much else lately.
Rants/Raves: just all the feelings. So yes.
Questions:
GTKY: If you could own a "vacation home" where would it be? Hmmm... Domewhere nearby in the mountains, and another on the beach! Any mountain. Any beach.
My anatomy scan is this afternoon! I’m so excited! Really hoping for a girl but expecting it to be boy #3. I had a dream last night it was another boy so 🤷🏻♀️
