Week of pregnancy: 25 weeks + 4 days
Baby is the size of: Zack Morris Brick Phone
Upcoming Appointments: 8/27 - Growth scan and OB
Rant/Rave: Super worn out. Hoping to be able to get back into a good groove now that daycare is open again.
Questions? Something Fun.... What is everyones baby splurge item, like something you really don't need but bought just because... Mine is the Baby Shusher...
GTKY: Are you a morning person or a night owl? Before I met H I was a night owl, but now I am more like 7-8am morning person, although my kid is a morning person like H so we usually get up around 6-6:30 and I am usually in bed by 9ish....
Week of pregnancy: 25
Baby is the size of: Papaya
Upcoming Appointments: Today at 3:20 (I definitely had the wrong date in my head, good thing for automated appointment reminders lol)
Rant/Rave: This is my last week of work. It’s bizarre because I’ve worked here for 7 years, and I have no idea if I’ll come back or not. I’ve been clearing all my stuff out of my classroom and it’s just strange to turn it over to someone else!
Questions? Nah
GTKY: Are you a morning person or a night owl? Night owl!! I have such a hard time getting myself to go to bed before midnight. On the weekends I’ll easily stay up until 1-2am. Then I’m tired all morning lol. Vicious cycle!
lol. Hopefully I can sell it and get some of my $$ back when she gets a little older.
Week of pregnancy: 25 W 4 D
Baby is the size of: Cauliflower and foot size is the size of a AAA battery.
Upcoming Appointments: I think the 25th for my Glucose test.
Rant/Rave: Today is DH birthday! We have no plans for tonight other than him cooking Mac n Cheese with Boudin...IDK, I’m more of a Kraft MAC N Chz over fancy homemade Mac. This weekend we are going to Fredericksburg to celebrate my cousin’s 40th Birthday. I would love to get wine wasted, but that’s not happening. However, it will be nice to see family!
Questions?
GTKY: Are you a morning person or a night owl? Non Pregnant, Night Owl I’ll stay up until 2 most nights... Pregnant, I go to bed as early as possible and sleep as late as possible and I love naps.
@mtengl I bought a Melissa and Doug large giraffe for DD1’s nursery, so for DD2 I plan to buy a Melissa and Doug large horse. I swear they need it! 😬😬
@mtengl I lol at the Zack Morris brick phone 😆
Week of pregnancy: 25 weeks
Baby is the size of: I think it said cauliflower but hopefully not that round 🤣
Upcoming Appointments: Aug 10th US with high-risk OB and Aug 18th for glucose test/appointment with midwife.
Rant/Rave: we have a water leak coming out of the foundation so that's probably going to be expensive 😔 Just found out today.
Questions?
GTKY: Are you a morning person or a night owl? I'm definitely not a morning person. Pre-pregnancies/kids I was a night- owl. But I do try to go to bed before 10 pm now and mornings are still rough. I can't handle questions for the first hour after waking up.
Splurge item: this is sad but I can't think of any baby items that I've splurged on. I've bought a special outfit for holidays and first birthdays but usually just a little more expensive than normal. When we do start going out into the world again I'd like to get stitchfix for kids.
Week of pregnancy: 26
Baby is the size of: kale, apparently. But I don’t like that because kale comes in so many shapes and sizes! I saw acorn squash somewhere else, which I like better.
Upcoming Appointments: Meeting with the midwife Saturday. She’ll check my iron and glucose tolerance. Already planning to eat all the cookies afterwards.
Rant/Rave: Finding a comfortable sleeping position has been harder lately, but once I’m asleep, the quality of my sleep has definitely been better... so I guess that’s a mixed bag. I am happy that so far I haven’t suffered a whole lot, symptom-wise. I’m hoping it’s smooth sailing through to post-partum.
Questions? I’m still wondering how I’ll be able to vote if my state requires you to give a reason for voting absentee. Pregnancy is not on their list. I know I should just be patient, but it’s just where my mind has been going. 🤷🏻♀️
GTKY: Are you a morning person or a night owl? I’m a night owl. Left to my own devices, I’ll sleep until 9 or 10 and go to bed around 1am.
Splurge item: I still haven’t really bought much for baby. I saw the big Melissa & Doug giraffes and really like those, but then I thought maybe a moose would be good because I grew up in Maine and I want my kid to know about moose from a young age. I can’t find a giant moose plush animal... I think their legs are probably too skinny to support the weight of the torso and the head. So I was thinking maybe something like this:
Week of pregnancy: 26 today
Baby is the size of: A bowling pin!
Upcoming Appointments: Aug 13 for the dreaded glucose test 😖
Rant/Rave: Rave- I teach ESL online so I get to set my schedule. Only problem is the kids are in China, so my hours are limited from 8:30p-9a. I was doing early mornings before the kids got up, but since China is out of school for summer, I just switched to working nights and I LOVE IT! I know it wont last because they go back in September, but sleeping past when the sun rises feels amazing now! 🥰
Questions? I’m good.
GTKY: Are you a morning person or a night owl?
A bit of both now! Up until I hit 30- definite night owl.
Week of pregnancy: Almost 26 weeks!
Baby is the size of: the length of a green onion
Upcoming Appointments: August 11th for regular OB appointment
Rant/Rave: Rant: I'm soooooo tired! We went camping this weekend and I think I need a vacation from our vacation. DH always wants to do everything, and I just want to relax!!!! Now I'm already exhausted and we've got family coming this weekend for my 40th birthday and the spare bedroom is a mess of baby stuff, so I have to somehow manage to work, clean the house, organize all the baby stuff, figure out a menu for 10 people, get groceries.... and who knows what else by Friday afternoon! Rave: on the flip side, excited to have family down this weekend! Because of COVID we're not doing a big party, but will be nice to see family this weekend
Questions? Anyone know what you can take for congestion while pregnant? I am soooo congested and it just seems to be getting worse... especially when I lay down to go to sleep at night!
GTKY: Are you a morning person or a night owl? Definitely a night person... don't talk to me before I've had my first coffee of the day!
@mtengl My splurge item is going to be a fancy baby monitor
@kelk5 Oh no!!! Hope it's not too expensive to fix... although foundation work tends to be....
@csardaszz I love that moose!!! I don't think I can show it to DH or he would buy it in a second! And probably look for a deer to go with it!!
@csardaszz I've never seen a moose IRL but about a year ago I saw a video of a moose walking next to traffic. I was shocked as I had no idea they were that big!!!! I honestly thought they were just a bit taller than reindeer 😆. I think there is a moose wubbanub if you want to continue with the moose theme.
Edit: I decided to look up the actual size difference and I'm finding that north American reindeer/caribou are bigger animals then the reindeer found in northern Scandinavia. I guess I learned something new today as I didn't know there was a difference 🙄😜
Week of pregnancy: 26+2
Baby is the size of: kale?
Upcoming Appointments: had one today and next is the 27th
Rant/Rave: Rave: all done painting out apartment!!!! Finally feels like life can get a bit back to normal. Also planning a week trip a days drive south of here and they have Ikea!!! Hoping to buy some baby furniture so i can finally feel a bit more ready🤗 no rants this week so far🤞
Questions? None yet!
GTKY: Are you a morning person or a night owl? Currently not really either but its definitely easier to stay up late than wake up early😅 pre-pregnancy i was more of a night owl. It was always super late when I'd get the urge to clean and organize and get the energy that had been missing all day🙄
@kelk5 I haven’t been to the Sister Creek Winery, I’ll have to check it out after this baby. I’m pretty sure I have had their wine though.
@csardaszz I love the moose and the taxidermy look too! Melissa and Doug has one too that stand up...sometimes Zulily has M&D stuff on sale.
Just found the wubbanub and that’s definitely going in my next Target order.
Voting- you described my state. I’m telling myself every day to just be patient, it will work out. But maybe I’ll look for a last minute hazmat suit rental, just in case. 🙃
@potofgolden OMG I want to ride that moose!
@potofgolden @babywiik I went to IKEA two weeks ago and the food court was closed because of COVID!!! I was so sad
