What food/object/animal is baby the same size as this week?
A napa cabbage or a prairie dog (but they clearly haven't seen the gofers around here because they are way bigger than a napa cabbage!)

Any new symptoms or changes?
A new one for me is cramps. I had one while driving home from a party last Saturday and it hurt so bad I was driving 10 below the speed limit to try and keep my attention on the road. It was not fun.

Rants/raves/questions?

Yesterday I had so much RLP and now my belly got so much bigger!

GTKY: any spring break plans?
Ours was two weeks ago and we went to the Rockies.

Now I just want some Spring to go with it!

What food/object/animal is baby the same size as this week? Slow loris.

Any new symptoms or changes? Some lower back, butt pain.

Rants/raves/questions? How far off of flat do I need to be on my back? Sleeping is starting to suck. 🙄

GTKY: any spring break plans? I don't get a break but I have been enjoying the spring weather! I got some marigolds planted because they don't care if it freezes again and I'll be digging up some spots to plant gladioli in the next few weeks. I'm so excited to make our house look less boring!

[juliayadda]

And tomorrow Southern Ontario is getting hit with another Winter storm... another half a foot of snow. I will plant flowers in June I think..

What food/object/animal is baby the same size as this week? A bowling pin

Any new symptoms or changes? TMI- the discharge lately has been in overdrive. So gross. Also random food aversions/ gagging came back. I made it all the way to my last bite of broccoli before running to the trash gagging because it suddenly turned my stomach.

Rants/raves/questions? Not really. Starting to feel like I should be getting stuff ready, but it's still early.

GTKY: any spring break plans? We just got back from FL for a week. We took W (22 months) to Magic Kingdom. I can now feel myself turning into one of those crazy Disney people after experiencing it as a parent. Like I'm pinning stuff for our next trip, which will be in like 3-4 years. I remember my parents crying on the monorail because they never dreamed they'd be able to take us to Disney, and I totally cried on the drive over because I was so happy to take DD.

amyface813, I think you can lay on your back. My doctor said our bodies will naturally move before it gets harmful. You can always prop yourself up on pillows so you're on a slight angle if your really worried.

I'm still partially sleeping on my stomach. I prop one hip on a pillow and kick a leg out so it's a side/belly hybrid.

[babywisher]

linny12 we went to Disney a few times as a kid and I went twice before kids. I've been 2 times with kids and there is nothing better. We also have done 2 Disney cruises and are totally in love. I am totally that Disney World nut! DH had actually had plans for us to go and was getting us tickets (military discount) for Christmas. Then I told him I was pg he freaked and cancelled. I was so depressed.

[linny12]

babywisher, I was nervous about going while pregnant, but it went so well. The weather was cool, and the lines weren't bad at all.

I can't wait to take both the girls. H is even excited. He wants to see the star wars stuff which is at HS. I think we'll do full Disney Trip and do all the parks when the kids are older!

I keep meaning to ask my doctor about this but was thinking the same! My hips and shoulders are killing me from sleeping on my sides.

Any new symptoms or changes? The back pain has gotten horrible, and the swelling is out of control. I'm going to ask the OB Monday and see what's going on.

Rants/raves/questions? Not that I can think of. I just need a nap...

GTKY: any spring break plans? Nope! I need to start getting the nursery together. I feel like I suddenly don't have that much time. Ahh!

[murran13]

Are we still doing this? I think we missed last week. - we are bad posters!

How far along are you?
22 weeks

What food/object/animal is baby the same size as this week?
Coconut!

Any new symptoms or changes?
Hmmmm not really. My lower back/hips sort of constantly hurt now but manageable. Still nauseated fairly frequently. I can fit a shocking amount of food in my stomach, so there's that!

Rants/raves/questions?
Rant: my 2 year old was sleeping pretty great in his crib for a couple months and I got spoiled. He's back to waking up and coming to bed with me, which is fine if he holds still and goes to sleep but lately that is NOT a given. Last night he kept me up until 2 am by flopping around so much!!!!! Poor kid, mama was very grumpy. I remember a couple times of growling at him to hold still and shoving him back on his pillow - "okay" he'd whisper and try to hold still but it would last about 2 minutes. 🙄

GTKY: any spring break plans? Nope. No school age kids and no teachers in the family so it's just another week.
