Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: size of a dollar bill - which we haven't had in Canada for a LONG time, so that reference was definitely a blast from the past!
Upcoming appointments: Anatomy scan on Thursday, regular appointment next Tuesday
How are you feeling?: Pretty good, starting to get a little worried about how much my toddler is climbing all over my bump (I mean I'm sure it's fine but how much is too much you know?) This poor kiddo is already getting wrestled by its big brother...and I'm sure it's for life LOL
Rants/Raves: We had a pretty eventful week with DS going night-time exploring in the house, so we finally got a childproof cover for his doorknob on Friday and he has slept peacefully through the night since (thank goodness!!) - My insomnia has gotten a lot better with the lavendar and stretching routine that I've been doing that seems to be really helping the restless legs - so all in all feeling a lot better!
Questions: natm
GTKY: What is your favourite candy or chocolate bar? @tiggywiggles appreciate the anglo/Canadian spelling here! I really like just a plain milk chocolate, but also am a huge Reese's fan! Also cadbury mini eggs which are like everywhere right now and are so tempting!!
@tiggywiggles ooo what are you painting? Also just sent H to the pharmacy for a prescription and asked for chips too 😂
@canucklehead123 I’m CONSTANTLY protecting bump from the toddlers. I put a stiff arm over it and try to ward them off haha. We had a similar situation with my 3 yo a few months ago, he was getting up at night, turning his light on, and turning off his sound machine and we’d hear him playing lol. It was really cute but also...go to bed. We got him a Hatch that he doesn’t know how to turn off and a cover for his light switch and it totally fixed the issue

Rants/Raves: Not really a rant, just feeling kind of bummed out. Rave - I’m feeling baby consistently, even on the outside now and it’s just nice. Reassuring.

How are you feeling?: good for the most part. Obviously my indigestion and post nasal drip is still annoying as all hell, but I’m used to it at this point.
Rants/Raves: I’ve felt the baby a few times externally. Def the tiniest taps, but they were there. I can’t wait for it to be more prominent and my kids to feel it!
Questions: NATM
GTKY: What is your favourite candy or chocolate bar? Twin Snakes by Haribo are my absolute fave!
Yummmm chips. What did ya get?
Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 19+2

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: mango
Upcoming appointments: OB this morning so now nothing for another month
How are you feeling?:
Rants/Raves: rave - It was my first OB appointment and he was more than happy to discuss what happened during my last delivery (he didn’t deliver DD, but followed me through the pregnancy). I feel like I got some closure. Good doctors are such a blessing.
Questions: so... now you all have me worried. DD just turned two. She likes to climb all over me, and routinely kicks/head-buts/slams into my belly. Should I be trying to minimize contact?
GTKY: What is your favourite candy or chocolate bar? These days I really don’t discriminate! I demolished a Kit Kat the other day and it was divine.
Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: pink

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: banana
Upcoming appointments: MFM appt & US Thursday 2/25
How are you feeling?: feeling pretty good - no longer nauseous just lateral hip pain and feeling bigger than I did with my first
Rants/Raves: excited that I finally feel caught up with work. Frustrated/sad that our oldest dog likely won’t make it through the next week. I’m annoyed/angry that I have to have the death talk with my young 2 year old for a third time in less than a year. I know what we are dealing with pales in comparison to what so many others are going through right now but it’s still tough.
Questions:
GTKY: What is your favourite candy or chocolate bar? Reese’s PB cups - we live close to Hershey and I swear their chocolate tastes so much better locally!

How are you feeling?: Pretty Good, I finally broke out my pill organizer thingy because I was sick of opening so many bottles every night I'm on (anti-depressants, anti-nausea, BP meds, Baby Aspirin, Vitamin D, Prenatals). I feel like I could run a pharmacy HA.
Rants/Raves: I felt baby move late last week and now I feel him every day

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: sugar glider (they’re actually kind of cute)
Upcoming appointments: anatomy scan on 3/11
How are you feeling?: still no energy and still having random waves of nausea, but much better than I was feeling a couple months ago
Rants/Raves: this is baby #2 for us and placenta is anterior again so I’m dying to feel kicks and just haven’t yet.
Rave: my DD is 4 and has become SO obsessed with baby. It’s the cutest thing to me, I’m only 5’2 so she comes up just under my belly button and is constantly hugging and kissing my belly and saying how much it makes the baby happy. Melt my freaking heart. Hopefully she stays this excited!
Questions: wondering if anyone has used the Graco uno2duo stroller? We need to replace our current one and we’re thinking something like that with a stand in the back for DD to stand on might be fun. It’s a little pricey tho and I’m not sure if DD will actually stand on it longer than 2 minutes at a time
GTKY: What is your favourite candy or chocolate bar? Pretty much all candy and chocolate bars lol my all-time favorite is a snickers bar and I buy them the most often, but I also love sour patch kids. Otherwise, I’ll eat whatever is in front of me lol

Questions: NATM
GTKY: What is your favourite candy or chocolate bar? My favorite chocolate bar is Twix but I also really like sour patch watermelons

@becks_726 baby is still pretty small and well protected in there so no immediate danger but I'd start working as much as you can to distract and redirect your LO now because when the baby is born it can hurt them.

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a mango
Upcoming appointments: Had my A/S last week baby is measuring on the smaller side (21st percentile) so I’m getting another u/s at my next appointment on 3/18
How are you feeling?: Pretty normal. Hips are hurting more at night so I’m not sleeping as well.
Rants/Raves: The in-laws are visiting again this weekend! I love when they come down because MIL is great with my son (and always gives me a break!), and FIL helps with things around the house. The main project this weekend is relaxing the carpet in the guest room with LVP - they’ve already done that in DS’s room and the nursery, so I’m excited for all the bedrooms rooms to match. And for NO MORE CARPET, woohoo.
Questions: Nope
GTKY: What is your favourite candy or chocolate bar? I’m not a big candy eater, but I can’t turn down a fancy chocolate. Like the kind you buy per piece/pound at a specialty chocolate store.
