Wednesday symptoms! (1/21)

[Girlymama79]

I feel like we haven't had one of these in over a month! 

I feel slightly nauseous today but that might be due to pure excitement for my ultrasound this afternoon. My biggest issue right now is swelling.  Every night my ankles and feet are terrible swollen.  Thankfully it's gone by morning.

I'm pretty symptom free these days.

But I've been having really crazy dreams... I'm at the point that I'd rather have no dreams than the weird shit I'm dreaming about lately. I read that vivid dreams were a part of pregnancy, but I had no idea what I was really in for.

Girlymama79 good luck at your ultrasound today!

[blasto!]

I'm with @littlebee on the crazy dream train.

Also another nosebleed this morning. NOT FUN.

Still working on the back pain. I got a footrest (cardboard box) for my desk at work and sat on a firm chair instead of the couch last night. It seemed to help, but I just want to be comfortable again.

[clairencub]

I hate my dripping nose. Whether it be a symptom of baby or just shitty allergies, I don't care and just want to breathe normally for 10 minutes. 1 box of Kleenex down.

[erbear]

I had another moment of "is this the baby?!" This morning. I can't tell. I'll probably only be able to tell when it's a swift kick.

[noeliav]

There's this big ol' belly that seems like it's sticking around for awhile. Is that a symptom?

And more butt kicking from the inside today. I'm trying to figure out if these could be hiccups or if it's just kicking/punching.

I'm wondering when the lovely acne along my chin line that came in about a month ago is going to go away. Thank God for make up, but seriously it's starting to really bother me!

Also, I woke up with stomach grumbles at 2:20 last night/this morning. Baby was not happy with something I ate yesterday. And of course I couldn't get back to sleep forever afterwards so I'm exhausted today with tons of work today.

Also, I'm still not feeling movement from the baby and I'm getting impatient and increasingly jealous of everyone who is.

[veggiemo]

Can I post this here? I had my anatomy scan today! So cool to see the baby! Everything looked good but of course we won't know for sure until the doc reviews it. She took A LOT of pictures of the heart which had me wondering, but I'm sure everything is fine.

I'm kinda bumming because the tech said "her face" and we are team green. I'm trying to put it out of my mind and not dwell on it too much, but it's really hard. I was SOOO afraid something like that would happen and then it did. When she left the room I asked my husband if he heard what she said and he was completely clueless. I wouldn't tell him what she said, because I don't want to have both of us wondering! I'm really trying to just write it off.

Since my siggy isn't set up yet: STM, 21 weeks tomorrow.

I don't have much to complain about aside from pregnancy brain. The absentmindedness is getting old.

I have to say that I am pretty happy my boobs seem to keep getting bigger and bigger. Trying not to think about how much they'll shrink later on.

[teenybird]

I have massive preggo brain this week and my back is starting to drive me nuts. Learned some good stretches at prenatal yoga, so I should probably use them...not that logic is my forte right now. I am now also solidly in the "forget about ever sleeping through the night for the next 4 years" camp. The midnight potty trips are making me grumpy.

Our little guy gave a good solid kick the other night and DH was actually able to feel it. We are stoked and I get all giggly and stupid whenever I feel it. That has to be one of the best parts of being pregnant .

We told our ultrasound tech that we weren't going to find out the sex as well and when she was showing us the pictures she said "And here he..." I'm hoping it was just her fall to identifier and that it has no bearing. I also asked DH and he too was clueless. 

I'm still going to have a couple of names picked out for each and keep telling myself that we're still team green. My doctor didn't get the infor on the sex so I don't have to worry about her slipping.

[taisree]

I'm feeling soooo much better (thank you baby!), my only issues are a. acne continuing, but slightly better! and b. my belly is growing and making it hard to sleep on my belly, which I love to do. Time to break out the snoogle!

[upandbelow]

I had a brief reprieve from the nausea the last couple weeks but it's back with full force, this time it's smells that are setting it off. The crazy dreams are starting to get to me a little bit, I've started waking up after dreaming with anxiety; hopefully I'll start to feel the LO move a bit and that will help to curb my anxiety, but it's still early for me so I'm trying not to get too worried. Damn dreams make it tough though!

[mrskblack11]

I am also having weird dreams, to the point where they wake up in the middle of the night. Or maybe I am just waking up because I have to pee. Hard to say....

Feeling baby move a lot more. I felt two big "kicks" today. It felt like big bubbles bumping into me from the inside. Reminds me of a lava lamp.

My cousin just had a baby this summer and she was convinced it was a boy because the tech had said "he" during the A/S. Turned out it was a girl and she was shocked! I think "he" is kind of the default term. We are probably both being paranoid. Funny how it just goes over the guy's heads, right? We hear EVERYTHING!

[sugarkissed]

I could eat absolutely everything in my house these last few days. I'm a bottomless pit.

The nausea is FINALLY subsiding, which is awesome, and DH is able to feel baby moving every night now!

I'm having the weird dreams with everyone else. Also, I'm finally getting over it but I had some weird soreness/irritation on the inside of my lips. It wasn't cold sores and when I googled it they said to drink more water and not lick your lips (easier said than done but I managed). I don't know if it's the baby, something I ate, my toothbrush, or just winter but it was all over the inside of my lips and really painful.

[leenziepops]

Not a single split end in my hair!

I have this, too. And my lips are peeling. It's super-attractive. I was chalking it up to getting over a monster cold, though, not pregnancy.

I find if I don't drink a ton of water, then my lips (and mouth at night) are super dry I'm caulking it up to needing to be more hydrated while pregnant. It's really hard to drink all of that water some days though.

With you 100%. What is with the acne this week? Of course, this is the week of my high school students' mock trial competitions, when people are taking photos left and right. Grr...

Haven't slept through the night in a couple weeks. It's either Braxton-Hicks, heartburn, or the incessant need to pee (due to the water to keep the BH at bay). People keep telling me that I'll never get a good night's sleep again in my life, so I might as well get used to it. Sorry but I reject that concept. 

[schnurette]

I have a cold and it is made much worse by my sinuses already being pooched and the fact that I can't take anything. Add to that having to leave early to pick up DD from the sitter because she was throwing up and its been a good day. DD also had an explosive 'oh god its everywhere' poop right before I got to the sitter...like she didn't even have socks on anymore... Thank goodness it takes me 30 minutes to get from work to the sitter or that poop might have been in my car.

[wifedeangel]

My allergies are really acting up today because I was packing my mom yesterday, which also aggravated my sciatica. My vivid dreams are definitely of the erotic type. I'm actually pretty tired of having sex in my dreams and want more IRL.

[Deleted]

Little man has been doing tae kwon do in my ute all day today. I love this part.

[nicolec78]

I had a nightmare last night that the babysf person lured me to her office and shaved off all my hair.

[ombradellarosa]

My husband is really hoping for nesting to kick in because we really need to get our apartment clean and I've been so sick/tired/not home that I haven't done much. I am definitely freaking out about bringing baby home to this but it's not spurring me to action like either of us would hope. Would it be AW or SS to start a thread about nesting because I really want to know?

[hulagrl461]

Weird random dreams. I wake up completely confused by them. Also, I can't sleep comfortably on my back anymore
Otherwise, I feel pretty good!

Edited cuz spelling.

My husband would like for me to care more about nesting too. I want to get it all done but ugh, no motivation. He built the crib and half the dresser last week, and I swear he left the room a disaster on purpose to motivate me. And yet, I've still only set foot in there to retrieve a pair of shoes from my extra closet lol. Hopefully, I'll get the nesting urge sometime this tri before the real exhaustion sets in!
