Week of pregnancy: 24w5d
Baby is the size of: coconut?
Upcoming Appointments: phone appt in a couple of weeks.
Rant/Rave: I dropped the ball last week and never did get around to posting, so I'm getting on it early this week.
Rant: The pregnancy aches and pains are way worse for me this second time around. I feel so much pelvic pressure/pain, and last night my belly was super achy. I'm way paranoid about preterm labor for whatever reason, so every little thing worries me. Plus the BH contractions are so frequent. I'm definitely moving slower and being more careful with my body. Paradoxically I am also exercising more this time around.
Rave: I got a pattern for baby girl's quilt and am super excited to start picking fabric and working on it!
Questions?
GTKY: If money was no object, what would you do all day? I think I would probably hire a part-time nanny so that I could do quilting/sewing as a serious hobby/art. And definitely hire a house cleaner. I like being home with DS, but I really need that time away from him that working part-time provides.

Baby is the size of: Cantaloupe
Upcoming Appointments: 7/24 OB+ Glucose Challenge
Rant/Rave: I've had a week from hell. My mom is... not very nice, especially to me and she's been giving me a very hard time about potentially moving to NJ. This whole fiasco precipitated some crippling shoulder pain which resulted in a call to my OB (for a muscle relaxer) and a very expensive visit to a prenatal chiropractor in Manhattan to get some relief. I'd say on a scale of 1-10, my pain was at an 8 or 9, it was literally blinding. Now, I'm feeling so much better, but will have to go for PT in order to rehab. My mother still hasn't asked me how I'm feeling, but instead chooses to antagonize me. Ugh. I just want to be left alone.
Questions? Nada
GTKY: If money was no object, what would you do all day? I'd open my own cafe and specialize in unusual baked goods. Also, weekly cleaning lady.
Week of pregnancy: 24w + 2d
Baby is the size of: Cantaloupe
Upcoming Appointments: Wednesday (the 22nd) for OB check-up. They said they'll also give me the sugar drink to bring home for my 28 week appointment.
Rant/Rave: Rave: I picked up my new laptop from work on Friday and I am loving it. So much better then my personal one, which was driving me crazy last week. It works fine for school and web surfing, but was going so slow when trying to run all of my work programs. Also, it has a fingerprint sensor which I just find so cool for some reason, lol!
Another rave: MH's mom was in town over the weekend and it was a really nice visit. We took her by the house we are in the process of buying and she loved it, so that was fun.
Questions? For those who have done the glucose test, which flavor did you have and how terrible was it? Lol!
GTKY: If money was no object, what would you do all day? I LOVE animals and when I am not super busy try to spend time volunteering with various rescues in my area. If money was no object I would probably spend a lot of my time that I normally spend working volunteering with animals instead! I don't think SAHM life is for me, but part-time volunteering and then being home more often sounds like a dream!
@bserena Honestly, I was dreading the glucose drink because I had heard so many horror stories, but it wasn't all that bad. I mean, would I drink it for fun? Nope. But it just tasted like flat orange soda. The whole 1 hour test was fine for me.... except that I didn't pass. 😬 The 3 hour on the other hand was hell, but that was just because the fasting included no water for 12 hours. But I passed that one no problem. I am really hoping to avoid doing the 3 hr this time around.

Baby is the size of: Head of cauliflower or baseball glove
Upcoming Appointments: Not until August and I am appreciating the break...8/5 for routine OB + glucose challenge and 8/10 for fetal growth scan
Rant/Rave: Rant: ugh the pain I had with DD1 right at the top of my ribcage underneath where my bra hits is back again, but it seems earlier this time. It literally killllls me, but usually I can manage to press down on my belly and shift things around some and then I am good again lol. Rave: we had the home inspection on our current home this weekend and the buyer came back with very little repairs, which is awesome!
Questions? @bserena I actually don't mind it as part of the challenge as long as it is ICE cold. But like @hedgepig said a lot of people had me freaked out for it first go round and I was like seriously this is what the hype is all about lol? Obviously I wouldn't drink it as a beverage on the regular, but for one time it isn't hardly as bad as people make it out to be.
GTKY: If money was no object, what would you do all day? This is a great question! I more likely than not would own a lot of property and I would travel between them...condo in NYC, shore house in NJ, possibly a place in FL. I would also love to volunteer at my local hospital and I would ensure that I hired a full-time nanny and not because I don't love my kids, but because I would need a break as FT SAHM life is not for this girl lol.
Week of pregnancy: 25w
Baby is the size of: cauliflower
Upcoming Appointments: 7/27 OB checkup, 8/6 for glucose test
Rant/Rave: I’m overweight so now I feel like you can actually tell I’m pregnant and didn’t just put on a few pounds. I still joke that after I eat I feel most pregnant bc it’s just a food baby. It’s weird but cool to really be able to feel her kicking more often even if my DH still can’t feel anything yet
Questions? None
GTKY: If money was no object, what would you do all day? I would love to be able to travel more. Buy and read as many books as my heart desired along with building a reading nook with a really comfortable chair or couch
Week of pregnancy: 24 + 4
Baby is the size of: cantaloupe
Upcoming Appointments: 7/28 follow up A/S and reg OB
Rant/Rave: nada
Questions? nada
GTKY: If money was no object, what would you do all day? I would cook a lot more with the best ingredients, have a KILLER wine cellar, hang out with my kids all the time and have a nanny for when I didn't want to hang out with my kids (lol), and never fold another piece of laundry
mama. epicurean. plant lover. wine enthusiast.
Week of pregnancy: 25 +4
Baby is the size of: cauliflower
Upcoming Appointments: regular OB 8/11
Rant/Rave: DH and i went to look at a house Sunday. It was fantastic but we're not quite where we need to be to list ours. It had been on the market off and on since Jan and yesterday someone else put in an offer. So now I'm regrouping and trying to get us ready to sell our house should another great house come up
Questions?
GTKY: If money was no object, what would you do all day? Sleep in. Read and travel more. Hire cleaning and some cooking help. Volunteer with kids and dogs
Week of pregnancy: 25w1d
Baby is the size of: cauliflower
Upcoming Appointments: August
Rant/Rave: I really wish for once we could settle on a name early. I wish I liked Aubrey. DH does and I kind of do not at all. Ava keeps popping up.
Questions?
GTKY: If money was no object, what would you do all day? I would start a company that has some purpose and hire moms/parents who want to work. Flexible at home based hours and supportive of parenting needs. Then I would travel extensively as able with all our kiddos.
Week of pregnancy: 25w3d
Baby is the size of: cauliflower
Upcoming Appointments: at 28w... I can't keep track of dates anymore lol
Rant/Rave: My MIL told me that she isn't going to talk to me anymore because she feels like she's "walking on egg shells," then she ignored me for the rest of the night and pretended everything was fine with everyone else. Well, I'm tired of her telling me everything will be "worth it" when I honestly tell her how I'm feeling and I'm tired of her telling me how I WILL feel during the future moments of my pregnancy (and according to her I'll always feel positive, BUT she knows I don't understand that yet so she has to tell me). So a part of me is a little relieved that she'll be giving me some space at least, but I'm afraid she is going to give me the silent treatment until the baby is born, then pretend that everything is fine, and nothing will be resolved. (She did something similar before my wedding during the shower and rehearsal.)
GTKY: If money was no object, what would you do all day? I'd love to get a van and just drive across the country. Then I'd stop and check out every attraction possible. And try all the different foods.
