[jennyelf]

1. Weeks/Due date? 24 Weeks! Yay happy viability!



2. Baby's size? Corn? really, who comes up with these things?



3. How are you doing? Updates? Mostly good. Twenty-four week checkup was nice and normal. Talked about giving birth at the birth center, so starting that process. Sad to say goodbye to my OB for the remainder of my pregnancy, she's awesome, but it's only midwives at the center.



4. GTKY: What's your favorite movie snack? Chocolate.

1. Weeks/Due date? 20w6d


2. Baby's size? paper airplane


3. How are you doing? Updates? doing okay. I've been getting BH after my runs lately so that's been annoying. I thought it was just because I wasn't hydrated enough but I was plenty hydrated last night and I still got them.


4. GTKY: What's your favorite movie snack? depends on my mood, but either swedish fish/sour patch kids or reese's pieces.

1. Weeks/Due date? 22w 5d - May 13th

2. Baby's size? Papaya

3. How are you doing? Updates? Doing pretty well! I feel old this pregnancy - I mean, I guess I am technically the oldest I've ever been in any of my pregnancies, lol, so it makes sense. But my lower back hurts, my pelvic bones hurt, etc. I am starting prenantal yoga this week - I've taken the same class with all my pregnancies - so I'm hoping that will help with some of the pain!

4. GTKY: What's your favorite movie snack? Hmm, I don't go to the movies often and when I used to, I never really got snacks!! But I guess I would have to say raisinets - that is pretty much the only time I can think when I eat those, they are soooo good!

[lupincat]

1. Weeks/Due date?
20w4d 5/28


2. Baby's size?
I forget, a paper airplane I think.


3. How are you doing? Updates?
Tired constantly coupled with pregsomnia is fun. We did a lot of walking today and omg my hips hurt so bad. Baby boy is putting me through it!!


4. GTKY: What's your favorite movie snack?
Extra buttery popcorn if I'm actually at the movies or a frozen pizza if I'm at home.

[icedtea]

1. Weeks/Due date? 21 weeks

2. Baby's size? A "least weasel," which I can't stop laughing at.

3. How are you doing? Updates? Pretty good! Having such a good ultrasound yesterday really helped me mentally, and I'm doing okay physically. I need to beat this exhaustion so I can work out more (I know working out would help, it's a vicious cycle). I'm currently hobbling a bit from my cardio last night. Need to stretch.

4. GTKY: What's your favorite movie snack? Buttery popcorn, it's my go-to. Occasionally twizzlers. Now I want popcorn.

[irish14]

Date - 21w and change

Size - baseball hat, lol

Doing - good after great scan yesterday. Starting to feel it in my back. Been sleeping with the snoogle for weeks now. Thing takes over the bed. Snoogle plus dog plus DH and I is tight, it's a good thing DS doesn't come to bed to nurse in the AM anymore. Though he'd prob win in a fight with the snoogle.

We told everyone in our Christmas cards so that's been fun, getting texts from random family members we don't see very often

Snack - popcorn with ALLLLLLL the salt and butter. Like, sometimes I will go re-salt. If I can't have that, choc covered raisins or sour patch kids. Though I always feel like I have a chemical burn on my tongue after spk.

[irish14]

icedtea +1 - now I absolutely want popcorn too

[jmichlik]

1. Weeks/Due date? 23w+6d/May 5


2. Baby's size? Banana squash


3. How are you doing? Updates? Our whole family is down with a cold this week, DD caught it first and passed it to DH and I. I'm so congested and tired and feel like I really can't take any medications that actually work so that sucks. Otherwise doing okay, the usual fatigue and constipation going on.


4. GTKY: What's your favorite movie snack? Probably some sort of chocolate candy. My mom never wanted to pay the prices at the theaters so she used to sneak boxes of candy in her purse and we would break them out when the movies started. Honestly now I haven't even been to the movies in years so who knows.

[cubbiebear325]

1. Weeks/due date: 20w3d, 5/29

2. Baby's size? Banana? No some it was weird thing I've never heard of but I don't remember

3. How are you? Still just tired...not first tri tired but definitely lacking energy. Guess that's not making an appearance this time. Otherwise good, baby is moving lots and getting close to DH and DD being able to feel from the outside. I can feel it from the outside but know its happening....I think dd will love being able to feel baby move though!

4. GTKY: Popcorn, but no butter or salt...I'm weird and like plain popcorn. Also, snow caps =)

[BabyStandish]

jmichlik confession: I totally still sneak candy in lol

[lupincat]

jmichlik We always smuggle candy in. It's too expensive at the theater! One time my mom, sister, and I smuggled in a whole bag of mcdonalds, that was probably a bit excessive.

[anfranklin2]

1. Weeks/Due date?
21 weeks 5 days, due May 28th
2. Baby's size?
Paper airplane
3. How are you doing? Updates?
I'm just so tired. Constantly. I have to do the 3 hour glucose test, and I'm dreading that. I only failed the 1 hour by 5 points! If I have GD I'm going to lose my mind.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite movie snack?
Popcorn, and cookie dough bites. So good!

[lastkiss]

1. Weeks/Due date? 21+5



2. Baby's size? Baseball hats



3. How are you doing? Updates?
Still tired. My hips are sore too. Plus this sinus infection sucks.

Oh and apparently I've "popped". People have been making that comment all week. Better than "you're so big" I guess.



4. GTKY: What's your favorite movie snack?
Peanut Butter m&ms and sour patch kids.

+1 for sneaking snacks into the theatre. That's the good thing about big purses.

[hpnegirl]

1. Weeks/Due date? 24w5+

2. Baby's size? Big? Lol 😂

3. How are you doing? Updates? Tired. My neck is constantly popping in and out. My back hurts. The usual.

Had my 24w check up today. Little dude does not like the Doppler (just like big brother) and my MW got to feel him move away. I'm reevaluating where I want to deliver at, so that's fun. Sigh. Good thing I have a few weeks to decide

Glucose test on Feb 6th then moving to biweekly appointments. Eek!

4. GTKY: What's your favorite movie snack? Homemade popcorn with actual butter. Yum!

[sleepymonkey]

1. Weeks/Due date? 23+6 5/6


2. Baby's size? Grapefruit


3. How are you doing? Updates? Trying to get over a nasty cold/sinus infection. It's making me sort of forget about my pregnancy ailments this week. I have been feeling baby boy a lot more lately, which is reassuring. But he likes to use my bladder as a punching bag so that's not very fun.


4. GTKY: What's your favorite movie snack? Definitely buttery popcorn. I also love Milk Duds and Junior Mints, but I usually sneak those in. Sour Patch Kids used to be another favorite but they cause my taste buds to get sore and inflamed so no more for me.

[sleepymonkey]

hpnegirl, I have my last monthly appt on 2/9 (also with glucose test) and then move to bi-weekly as well. I can't believe how fast the time is going! And my next appt is where we have to make final decisions, like VBAC or RCS, circumcision or not, pre-register for hospital, etc. I'm not ready for this!

[rosesquared]

I once smuggled an ice cream sundae in to the movies! No shame.

[hpnegirl]

sleepymonkey they make you decide now?? That's crazy! We were never asked if we were going to circ or not, other than being asked for what we were leaning towards

[sleepymonkey]

hpnegirl, yeah I was surprised they make us decide about circ at 28w but they said it's because we have to arrange payment beforehand (I guess some insurance companies don't cover it) and make sure to have the arrangements to have it done in the hospital. Right now we're strongly leaning towards not doing it (my family is going to raise some eyebrows when they find out) but maybe we'll change our minds once it gets closer. 12 weeks before delivery is a long time!

[mcp6286]

1. Weeks/Due date? 24w + 3 - yay viability! May 2 but I get to pick my RCS date at my next appt! I'm leaning towards 4/26 if my fave dr is available.

2. Baby's size? Ear of corn

3. How are you doing? Updates? I'm soooo constipated, like worse than in the beginning. Super annoying! And all over achy. And if I'm remembering right from last time, my MOTN charley horses started around 25 weeks so that's just a ball of fun to look forward to

4. GTKY: What's your favorite movie snack? I love red candy - skittles, gummy bears, sour patch kids, etc. And also dark choc raisins and almonds! Most of the time we also smuggle in a whole meal, typically Chinese or Chipotle

[rosesquared]

1. Weeks/Due date? 21 weeks today! May 26

2. Baby's size? Baby Bok choy

3. How are you doing? Updates?

Doing pretty well after my bouts with illness on vacation. Some back pain and sciatica have been flaring up but that could be because I made it to yoga twice so far this week! Actually felt great after the first class, today not so much. MW check up next week so looking forward to that.

4. GTKY: What's your favorite movie snack? I love popcorn always (and layered with butter). Don't usually get candy but I love junior mints. Also I love the ice cream snack they usually have at the movies too. Though lately we are spoiled and go to cinemas that serve real food.

Damn, that takes some serious skill!

[rosesquared]

lupincat I legit held it sheltered under my jacket while I walked in! Super sketchy looking I'm sure!

[mcp6286]

rosesquared DH refuses to go to the theaters that serve food! It drives me crazy!!! He says he doesn't want his moviegoing experience ruined by people's food getting delivered the whole time, and he also doesn't want to eat in the dark 🙄. I'm a little jealous of you!

[rosesquared]

mcp6286 my bff is the same way! Maybe you can find friends to go with? It's def fun and I don't find the servers distracting at all!

[icedtea]

mcp6286, you should definitely go with some friends! I've only been to such a theater once, but it was great.

[mcp6286]

icedtea rosesquared in college our local theater served food and we loved it! My roommate and I would go all the time. Honestly I rarely go to movies now...they're so expensive that they're just not what I want to spend my "fun money" on. DH has always been much more of the movie theater fan than I am.
