[MissSally]

How far along are you? 23 weeks

How big is baby? Barbie Doll!!

Upcoming appointments this week? I had a regular OB today. Nothing exciting. 

Any new symptoms or changes? I still don't feel him move when I'm standing up, but as soon as I sit/lie down I can feel him a ton! So cool. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? I had a few pre-pregnancy shirts that I could still wear up until last week, as well as a few pairs of leggings. I am no longer at that point. I just feel like everything looks ridiculous. I cannot wait for warm weather and sun dresses. 


QOTW: What do you miss the most about not being pregnant? Wine. I miss wine SO badly.

Rants/Raves/Questions?


QOTW: What do you miss the most about not being pregnant? There's not a lot that I'm not still doing. Playing with and picking up my girls is going to get hard soon, it's already getting slightly more difficult. I also work 13 hour days on my feet and that's getting harder.

MissSally I'm also ready to pull out the summer dresses.

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope. Check up next week:

Any new symptoms or changes? Pretty bad gallbladder pain yesterday.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I called my doc about the gallbladder issue and the nurse wrote it off as heartburn and basically told me to take tums. This was not heartburn.

QOTW: What do you miss the most about not being pregnant? Just being normal. I feel like I'm failing as a mom/wife/employee because I'm always so tired and grumpy and angry. I feel like I'm no fun anymore and wonder why anyone wants to be around me.

How big is baby? Mango

Upcoming appointments this week? Had my anatomy scan this morning! She said baby boy looks perfect. He's a wiggle worm!

Any new symptoms or changes? I've got carpal tunnel symptoms in my right hand. Otherwise I'm pretty good. Starting to get full faster, but then hangry a lot faster, too.

Rants/Raves/Questions? My twice a week exercise class that kills me is paying off. I'm still one pound under pre pregnancy weight.


QOTW: What do you miss the most about not being pregnant? Not a lot. I'm not a big drinker, but I do miss a glass of wine sometimes. We went to brunch Sunday and I wanted a mimosa.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Just so happy to know the sex of my baby!


QOTW: What do you miss the most about not being pregnant? Drinking!! Going up and down stairs with ease. I had to go to the basement and back up to bedroom this morning and I was soooo out of breath.

Any new symptoms or changes? Nope
Rants/Raves/Questions? Heartburn can suck it.
QOTW: I miss a good (better) immune system and what I wouldn't do for a blueberry vodka/lemonade. But I'm glad I'm finally showing a bump, so then I look cute and not just lumpy/fluffy.

How big is baby? Guinea Pig

Upcoming appointments this week? None for 2 more weeks

Any new symptoms or changes? Feeling baby A LOT, and have even seen some pokes from the outside. Lots of back/leg pain. Hungry and thirsty all the time.

Rants/Raves/Questions? My lower back and legs are so sore if I'm on my feet for ANY length of time. Going to a big conference for work this weekend, and will probably be doing a lot of walking so I'm going to try and get one of those support belts.

QOTW: What do you miss the most about not being pregnant? Wine and exercise

[toadandbuggie]

MissSally yes to missing all the wine and summertime!

[toadandbuggie]

morwen I agree with "miss my old body but love my pregnant body." It's an interesting feeling.

[toadandbuggie]

bepandnick I still eat sushi without raw fish. Veggie rolls and shrimp tempura rolls. It gives me the sushi craving without any risks.

[toadandbuggie]

How big is baby? Corn on the cob

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope

Any new symptoms or changes? Not really

Rants/Raves/Questions? I am gaining a lot more weight this time than I did with DS but not doing anything differently (in fact exercising more) so I'm confused. Not complaining but it's amazing how different pregnancies really are.

This baby is WILD in there. Even the ultrasound tech said he was especially wriggly. He kicks so hard I can see it.


QOTW: What do you miss the most about not being pregnant? Alcohol, of course. This is probably weird to say but dieting. And being able to take all the meds.

[bepandnick]

Advil. toadandbuggie reminded me how much I miss Advil.

[juliayadda]

toadandbuggie, I also have an exceptionally wiggly baby. She has been this way since the 9 week US. Every time I go to the doc and she does the doppler she is like wow, baby is moving. I love it, but I am just waiting for a bruise to emerge on top of my tummy from all the kicks! (half kidding...)

I miss advil with the Fire of 1000 suns

Oh yes, I miss Advil too. I don't know if it's a mind over matter thing or what but Tylenol doesn't seem to do shit for me so I'm taking it more often than I would be taking ibuprofen.

I feel like tylenol can take the edge off but often it is more tension and inflammation causing my pain which Advil is king with. I also find tylenol takes longer to work and wears off faster.

Yep, I do this too. I only eat cooked anyway!

Super late catching up on this thread but I feel this way all the time, too. This morning I said something to H along the lines of "Won't you be happy when you have a hot wife again?" And his response was "I'll be happy when I have a wife that doesn't hate me again." I felt really bad and it really made me realize just how cranky I've been and what a short fuse I have these days. 🙁

How big is baby?
Mango I think?

Upcoming appointments this week?
No. And I totally forgot to schedule my next appointment when I had my as last week so I need to call them tomorrow!

Any new symptoms or changes?
Yes! I woke up this morning and my bump was literally half the size it was yesterday and I can hardly feel any movement. It's completely freaking me out, though I've googled (of course) and it happens to a lot of people. Baby moves more to the back? I don't know. I don't like it. I'm full of anxieties this pregnancy and I hate it!

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Just the above. Oh and what the heck ds?! Why are you suddenly sleeping sooooo badly?!

QOTW: What do you miss the most about not being pregnant? Like others, Advil! An occasional drink. Feeling energetic and getting stuff done. Not needing five hundred hours of sleep to feel normal. But I'm extremely thankful to be pregnant despite my complaints. It's likely my last pregnancy so I really need to find a way to focus on the positive.
