    Upcoming appointments: 6/9

    Raves/Rants: Starting to get mild heartburn in the evenings, I’m really hoping it doesn’t progress as with my last pregnancy in 2016 it was horrible (no matter what I ate) and I had to take Zantac every evening.

    GTKY: What’s your favorite book you are reading or have read? I’m not a big book reader, but my 6 year old received The Hobbit for his birthday and we are reading it together.

    Gender/team green: Boy

    Baby is the size of a(n): bowling pin

    Upcoming appointments: I’m planning to do the glucose test Wednesday 

    Raves/Rants: I’m glad the weather is nicer but I’d love for it to hang more in the 70’s. Also I’m starting to look for decorations for my DS new room. Already moved his clothes over to the new dresser! I’m thinking a dinosaur theme because everyday he pretends to be a dinosaur lol. 

    Questions: things are reopening here. Has anyone thought about taking their other Littles to the zoo? I’m still feeling it’s too soon but I’d love to go. 

    GTKY: What’s your favorite book you are reading or have read? I’m pretty basic about books. I love the Harry Potter series but also read not too long ago the Guernsey Literary potato peel pie society and it was really good! 

    @beaandthebabes I’ve gained 20 lbs now. I can feel it too! Hoping I slow down and don’t gain much more.

    @beaandthebabes I had gained 23lbs by 24 weeks this time, but haven't gained any the last 3 weeks. I am hoping the slow in gaining continues and to keep the gain within 35lbs, but I also am not trying at all to reign it in. I had rhubarb pie for breakfast.  :D

    @ktholysz Good luck with the glucose test! Do you have to wait in the office? As for the zoo ours isn't open yet. I am not sure how we will handle it. I cannot see me taking them in weekend crowds, but maybe early morning on a weekday. I don't know though because if I am going to take risks it will be to see family. I so miss the zoo though. We get a membership for Christmas each year and it is making me sad. Your dino theme made me think of this. I have it in my cart to buy for my boy's room. https://www.target.com/p/decorative-dino-hooks-pillowfort-8482/-/A-77660992

    @boymommatwo my heartburn is insane! Two nights ago it kept me up for hours ... I get it between my shoulder blades and in my jaw when it's really bad. I've been maxing out on tums daily haha ... at the end of my previous preg I was taking Zantac but imagine I will be getting on those sooner than later!

    @beaandthebabes at my 21 week OB appt I had already gained 24 lbs. I gained 37 at my max with my first so hoping to stay in the same area ... I'm relatively fit so not stressing and still work out a few times per week (& eat tons of shit haha)

    @Louise_Belcher could you hang curtains in a way that makes it look like the window is centered? You know how people hang curtains higher to make windows look longer, maybe you could do that with width?

    EDD/weeks+days: 23+6

    Gender/team green: Green

    Baby is the size of a(n): Honestly can't remember haha

    Upcoming appointments: OB appt June 9th

    Raves/Rants: Heartburn. So much heartburn.

    Questions: 

    GTKY: What’s your favorite book you are reading or have read? I read All the Missing Girls last year and really liked it.

    @Louise_Belcher I have to go to a lab I’m hoping they let me go sit in the car. I was thinking I’m just not ready for the zoo. We have a membership too and I just figure if I don’t go at least it helped feed the animals. And that hook looks just like the signs I just ordered from Hobby Lobby!

    @megsmcp That was my original plan when I discovered that it was not centered, but after further figuring I realized it would make the viewable part of the window oddly small. It is a small window to begin with and we would have to cover almost a foot of it to give the appearance of it being centered. Also our windows open right to left so it would still appear off center due to where the center line of the stationary part of the window would land between the curtains. My grandfather thinks it wouldn't be hard to replace, but he is far more gutsy and handy than H and I and H would have to do most of the work.

    EDD/weeks+days: 24 + 1

    Gender/team green: Boy

    Baby is the size of a(n): ear of corn

    Upcoming appointments: Glucose test coming up this month

    Raves/Rants: I have been stressed about being stressed.  Anytime I feel angry or stressed, I worry it might be hurting the baby's development. 

    Much more minor but I also need a filling repaired in a back molar and I'm not excited for that. 

    Questions: 

    GTKY: What’s your favorite book you are reading or have read? Right now, I'm reading Agatha Christie books to distract myself. I also just read "Hidden Valley Road" which is about a family of 12 with a high incidence of schizophrenia.  It made me want to add a choline supplement to my prenatal.

    I like dystopian teen type stuff usually. Not too long ago I read 'Redeeming Love' and while not typically what I would read I loved it. Since then I've really struggled to find something to read. I've started so many books that I just can't get into. 'A Dangerous Act of Kindness' is another I've been slowly reading.

    @beaandthebabes at my appt last week I had gained 14 pounds. Compared to my other two pregnancies I’m pretty slow to gain but after being sick and disinterested in food for the first 16 weeks I’m not surprised. I didn’t feel that way with my other two.

    EDD/weeks+days: Sept. 14th/25 weeks+3 days

    Gender/team green: pink

    Baby is the size of a(n): cauliflower

    Upcoming appointments: televisit on June 25th

    Raves/Rants: Not either because I’m not sure how I feel, but we talked at my appointment about inducing at 39 weeks to avoid baby getting too big to avoid too much vaginal trauma. I had a lot of scar tissue from my first and then a 4th degree tear with my second so more scar tissue on top of that. I’m not opposed to inducing, but that would make it 9/7 and my niece’s birthday is the 8th and my dad’s the 9th. Maybe I’m being silly, but I don’t want this baby to have to share. DS2 shares a birthday and its not ideal. 

    Questions: 

    GTKY: What’s your favorite book you are reading or have read?
    The Harry Potter series is my all time favorite. Recently I’ve read Where the Crawdads Sing and it was great. I’m in the middle of Jessica Simpson’s book to satisfy the inner 19 year old me.

    @itsmehere1212 I completely understand not wanting shared birthdays. My due date is 2 days after DS1’s birthday and I really don’t want them to share. I should be induced a week or so early though so hopefully that helps avoid it.

    EDD/weeks+days: 9/20 24+4!

    Gender/team green: blue!

    Baby is the size of a(n): cantaloupe

    Upcoming appointments: had my intake appt over the phone today and my next in-person appt isn't until 7/6. I'll be 29 weeks! They want to try to get me in earlier & i'm on a waiting list so we will see.

    Raves/Rants: today was my first day off this week and it was nice! I have another day off tomorrow. My mil bought a box of diapers so they can start making a diaper cake for my shower. They're so cute!! hello bello brand, they seem good!
    As far as weight gain i've gained 5 lbs since my first appt but since I lost weight after that it's technically 14 lbs? either way i'm okay with it. I love to eat though so I should probably stop eating as much as I am lol

    Questions: none

    GTKY: What’s your favorite book you are reading or have read? 
    Hmm I don't really read enough to have a favorite book  :|

    @greyl glad you found a new office! They will catch you up once you go in at 29 weeks. You’ll be at every other week at that point anyway. 

    @itsmehere1212 that’s a conversation I still need to have with my office. I was thinking about bringing up induction next appointment but I also don’t like all the covid rules going on. So the less time at the hospital the better. We do have an early September birthday in my family but we also have other September birthdays that share the day. They are cousins and think it’s really fun! No way am I making it to the 19th so this guy can share that day too lol.

    @beaandthebabes so far I have gained 12 lbs since I found out I was pregnant. I was overweight already at the start of the pregnancy so I know my OB doesn’t want to gain significant amounts of weight but hasn’t said anything about my weight being an issue so far. I don’t know how much I had gained my last two pregnancies at this point but gained in total 35 lbs with my first pregnancy and around 25 lbs my second pregnancy (I started overweight with my second pregnancy too). I’m expecting to keep it around 25 lbs this pregnancy. 

    @megsmcp sorry to hear you are having bad heartburn too. I haven’t maxed out on Tums yet but expect I will be soon (which reminds me I need to buy more).

    @robyn2201 I haven’t read the books but love Outlander on Showtime.
