baby’s big toe is the size of a pencil eraser
next appointment is March 17
pretty good, really gassy and a little crabby. But that happens when you are 43 weeks pregnant. JK anyone else feel like pregnancy is taking forever?
I feel like I’ve been pregnant forever!!
I don’t want to buy anymore maternity clothes. I know this is my last baby, my dr is actually going to remove my tubes at delivery
Edited to add I forgot my question, is anyone wearing normal yoga pants? Like do you think non maternity leggings will be ok up until delivery. I don’t want to buy Capri pants to wear for a few short weeks if I don’t have to.
@thescarletmom oh good grief that sounds so stressful and awful. I hope the plumber gets everything running smoothly again asap, I've lived through one house flood and I never want to deal with that again. I hope at least the weather stays beautiful so you can air out some of the moisture in the house so nothing molds. Sending you all the vibes.
@peyts228 of course! I'm glad you didn't mind, I didn't want you to feel stressed about getting to it if you were busy 🥰
I feel like the bump had it sized coconut and then grapefruit or something ridiculous, like what kind of grapefruits are they looking at?!
@mommasay04 I feel like I always hear that fifth babies pregnancy seems to drag by! You can send some of those vibes to me because mine is flying by too fast and I'm sad, I don't want it to fly by and miss a single second 🥲
Third time mom
Team green 🍏
Their fist is the size of a gummy bear lol!
Nothing scheduled yet, after we move I'll schedule my first prenatal with the new practice and take a tour of the birth center and then get things set up with MFM to continue growth scans monthly.
So exhausted, like can barely stay awake anymore, even with a nap during my son's naptime, I'm sure it's packing and stress related but dang I hoped my second trimester energy would stick around a little longer 🥲
It was 61° today so we spent hours at the park and had the best time getting some much needed vitamin d before the next winter storm rolls in. My son has been riding his bike to the park and enjoying it so much, he loves his stroller but it's getting too hard for me to lift in and out of the car on my own these days.
I wanted to be a mom, have twenty children and own a farm.
I'm a mom now, have zero desire to have twenty children and I'm too old for that now lol 😂 but I wouldn't say no to a small property I could raise goats on.
Sometimes I regret I didn't leave my oppressive religion and be more wild, idk become a rock singer or something but indoctrinated or not I really do love parenting and the earth and growing gardens and raising animals and children with kindness and intention is something extremely close to my heart. I guess as long as it's my idea it's okay 😂
June 13th, 24 weeks today!

March 10th for GD testing
Sooooo hungry all the time
I actually knew I wanted to do what I do since I was probably about 10. My mom did the same thing, and then when my little sister was born with a disability, it really settled things for me. So I manage group homes for adults with disability and have since I turned 18 and was allowed to get a job where I work. Lol
I very much did not expect to have kids or even get married when I was growing up so I never would have predicted where I am now.
@pttomato that's how I became a stay at home mom too! I really hope you don't catch your DS sickness, being pregnant and sick is a literal nightmare.
boys are fun, but I do think they have a ton more energy and are harder to get to focus. We would do more outside learning but I feel they really need to improve reading and math skills.
