21 weeks, ticker says pomegranate

No pregnancy symptoms at all, I'm just getting over a cold. Movement is picking up rapidly, I'm feeling baby all the time!

Had my A/S yesterday and as far as I know, everything looks good! I'm realizing now that the tech said at the beginning of the US that she would give us an approx weight of the baby based on the measurements she took. She never did. I'm hoping it just slipped her mind and she didn't omit it because something was fishy. Not that I take that information to heart anyway, I know any approximations are just that, approximations, but I'm wondering why she said she would tell and then didn't.

I'm most excited to bust out my sling/ergo again. I just love the snuggles and feeling baby close to me!

Week and/or size
21w! Pomegranate

Latest symptoms and movement reports
My stomach was very tight and uncomfortable last night. I can also no longer bend over to pick something up off the floor without it being a big production. No movement yet , but hopefully soon! Dr says it could by up to 26 weeks before I feel anything and that would be "normal".

Recent appointments
Just this last Monday. Everything was great!

GTKY: Baby item you're most excited to use!
My friend gave me her Moby wrap so I am excited to practice using my 8 pound dog

I literally was going to post this exact same question/thread. I hope we're still doing it because I am very proud to be 18 weeks today... The size of a sweet potato! That just seems huge to me. And makes me feel better about how big my belly's starting to be.

Symptoms and movement- lots of movement and no crazy symptoms other than my belly button popping over the past week and my face is STILL really broken out. (Seriously, what the heck.)

Still waiting on my next appointment a week from today. From there we schedule our AS! Super excited.

I'm most excited to use some of DS's clothes, even if this Tiny is a girl. There were just those couple of sweet little outfits and sleepers that I was sad to put into storage... Already starting to sort through and pick out some favorites!

Ticker change: 20 weeks today - a banana!

Symptoms/Movements: I had the worst heartburn of my life last night.. was in tears crying and finally broke down and took a Zantac. Hoping it was a bad reaction to some super garlicky hummus and isn't the new normal.. we'll see. Lots of little flutters and hoping to start feeling some more regular kicks in the coming weeks. Can't wait for DH to feel them!

Appointments: Next up is February 6 with a repeat u/s (yay!) to get one final picture of the little guy

GTKY: I'm excited about all of them since I'm a FTM! Most excited to try out the different carriers as I am hoping to do lots of walking during my mat leave

•Week and/or size 19 weeks - mango?

•Latest symptoms and movement reports Still none. Though I did come home from work late last night and DH, laying comfortably in his recliner, greets me with "wow, you really look pregnant today." He meant it as a compliment, but man, that's not what I heard!

•Recent appointments Anatomy scan later today! Can't wait. Haven't heard (or seen) the babe in a month, and combined with no movement I'm antsy. (veggiemo, I'm sure your tech just forgot to give you the estimated weight. Congrats on a good exam! If you're really concerned, I'm sure your OB could look at the same measurements and give you the estimate.)

•GTKY: Baby item you're most excited to use! Baby books! (Does that count?) They're the one baby item I actually know how to use...  I fully acknowledge that I'm going to be that FTM reading to a new baby that can't even hold its head up or see more than a foot from its head.

Thanks, I'm sure it was just an accidental omission. It was just an afterthought I had and everything these days leaves me worrying and wondering! I'm sure you know the feeling.

And regarding the baby books, I started reading to DS really early too, even though I knew he wasn't looking at the pictures or understanding what I was saying. It's never too early to start! After he got mobile and started moving around, I would still try to read books even if he would get off my lap and move on to a different toy. That got frustrating, but I still tried. Now he loves to look at books and point out the pictures and have me name lots of things that are on the pages, but he's not that interested if I try to read every word on every page. I can only read a few of our books word for word. Oh well, it's better than nothing!

[blasto!]

Week/size: 21, I like bok choy better than pomegranate, but both work

Latest symptoms & movement: Lots of movement but not consistently, just when I'm still or sometimes when I'm eating. Biggest symptom is back pain. Putting my feet up under my desk does seem to be helping.

Recent appointments: A/S a couple of weeks ago. Congrats/good luck to all of you having them now! Next appointment is 2/5 and is just a check in with the OB.

GTKY: Baby item you're most excited to use: Also a FTM and excited about everything, but especially the carrier and the clothes. Baby clothes kill me.

[santoki77]

Week/size 19, mango.

I think I've felt movement here and there but nothing consistent. Looking forward to feeling regular movement, especially in the outside

Next appt is next Thurs for my anatomy scan. We're really excited to learn the sex of the baby. I'm nervous but I have appt every 3 weeks with MFM and a strong heartbeat so I'm trying not to worry.

I'm excited to go shopping once we find out the sex

[nicolec78]

Week/Size-18wks sweet potato

Latest symptoms and movement-I still have MS, I did the whole time with other two pregnancies. I have been feeling the baby move every once in awhile.

Recent Appointments-have appt tomorrow

Baby item you are most excited to use-haven't thought much about this one. I want to see if we have any of my DS's old clothes. He is 19 and I think it would be sweet to see the baby in his big brother's baby clothes.

[hbanana18]

19w over here - mango

I have been feeling movement for just over a week - hoping my husband can feel externally soon but it's not consistent. Other than that, just trouble staying asleep between becoming uncomfortable or having to pee.

I had A/S Monday and we have a healthy baby girl! Follow up Tuesday with MFM for level 2U/S because a soft marker for downs showed on scan. Dr. assured us baby was healthy though - just needs to be looked at better.

GTKY - tough one - I really want a comfy rocker/glider to spend time with baby...reading, resting, etc

I don't go to Thursday tickers but familiarity is so comforting. *happy sigh* congratulations on a new week lovelies!

[threearrows]

20 Weeks today---HALFFUCKINGWAY!---the claim is that my unborn child is the size of a banana. Based on the dancing she is doing in my midsection, I choose to support this claim.

Latest symptom is heartburn. I'm on day #3. I've never before had heartburn in my life, and honestly thought I was dying when I woke up with it over the weekend. I'm still mildly convinced my chest might explode. LOTS of movement. Both my husband and I can see it from the outside now. Sometimes it feels like she's fist-bumping my cervix, and it makes me gasp a little bit. It's all cute and fun now, but I have a feeling it's about to get uncomfortable in no time.

No recent appointments--A/S was last week, and next OB is in 2 weeks---glucose test in 4. Can't wait for that bucket of fun juice!

Baby item I'm most excited to use? Meh. Been there, done that. There's nothing "new" we plan to get for this tot that we didn't have for our son. And she'll be forced to endure many a hand-me-down. I may, if I get adventurous, try new baby-wearing wraps, but that's about the extent of my excitement.

[suzysurparis]

21w over here!

My symptoms are pretty light but I've started feeling movement this week. Still can't feel it exterior.

I had my A/S today, sure enough I have an anterior placenta which explains the delay in feeling movement. But everything's healthy and he was just sitting there sucking his thumb.

I have no idea what we're even going to buy so baby stuff is completely alien to me. I guess the stroller?

[trixi282]

•Week and/or size  19 weeks, A mango!

•Latest symptoms and movement reports  Lower back pain, and more restless at night.  I'm feeling some movement, at certain times of the day, but still sporadic.  I have a posterior (front) placenta though, which is likely why I only feel movement at my belly button or near my ovaries right now....

•Recent appointments  6 days until our A/S on Jan 28th! 
I'm getting anxious since we have a Level 2 U/S scheduled to get a closer look at the lungs.  I had a random U/S to check for HB since Doppler couldn't find it, and they saw a shadow... I hope it's nothing but I am getting nervous about it...

•GTKY: Baby item you're most excited to use!  The little bassinet we have that came with our PnP (a detachable unit).  It's so sweet when baby is snuggled up in there sleeping!   I'm also looking forward to (hopefully) finally getting to use my Ergo... J was a little older when I got it and was over baby-wearing by then.  I have a feeling with a toddler I'll be baby wearing a lot more this time.

19 weeks today!! Baby is the size of a Mango!

I've been feeling flutter type movement for the past week or so. It isn't constant, but at least once a day now. I can't wait until it gets stronger.

I had a check-up with my OB yesterday. The HR was at 137, everything else is good. Those check-ups are kind of uneventful! A/S is next Thursday though, Can't wait!

GTKY: ALL OF THEM!!!! We finished our registry (well, about 90% complete) and I can't wait to get some of the stuff. I also can't wait to start buying things once we know the sex of the baby.

[kpgrala]

21 Weeks Im not sure what fruit different things say different fruits lol.

I am so glad im not alone with the bending over thing. I cant tie my students shoe laces anymore with out hurting when I bend over.My belly finally popped and you can now tell Im preggers not just fat lol. Besides that baby Maxx is moving like crazy all the time and the back pain is still here it sucks to sleep at night. I get a couple hours of sleep before I wake up in pain. 

Congrats on the 20 weeks to all the 20 weekers!! 

[jessila]

-18 weeks and a sweet potato. I told DH this morning and it started calling it his little spud.
-First day with no nausea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to shout it from the mountain tops. I've felt a couple really random things that I definitely was like that has to be the baby.
-A/S coming up on Feb 3 and OB on Feb 5.
-I'm just ready to know what it is so I can start doing more than vague planning.

[taisree]

18 weeks in 2 days so I'll go with that, baby is the size of a dragon fruit.

Symptoms: back pain is kicking my ass all of a sudden. Do the heating pad is my best friend. Other than that I'm feeling pretty good & still fighting acne.

Next appointment: A/S scan in another week.

Baby item: hmmmm... I'm a STM so I ha e mostly everything. But I'll probably be looking to splurge on a nice car seat/stroller combo as soon as we know what we're having

[blasto!]

taisree Glad you wanted to join in!

As a heads up, there should be a ticker change for every day of the week (the weekend days sometimes get lumped together, since people are less active), so you'll normally want to post with the Saturday group. Then you'll all be on the same day

Haha thank you! Clearly this was my first attempt at joining a ticker thread. Oopsy now I know

[whoopsadaisy]

21 weeks yesterday, just joining the thread. Pomegranate!

Symptoms: No real negative symptoms, just starting to feel huge and I know it's just the beginning of that. Feeling the baby move more consistently now, which is comforting.

Appointments: Had an ultrasound today - amazing. Team green, so no news about the sex, but over-the-moon happy that everything looks healthy so far.

GTKY: I couldn't agree more with PP about books and a nice rocker/glider to relax with baby. I'm also kinda excited about the bath toys and animal-hoodie towels that I registered for - looks like fun for kiddo.
