QOTW - If you had 3 wishes what would they be? And no wishing for more wishes or for a million (billion, unlimited) dollars [wishes for money are ok if you share what it's to be used for ;-) ].
What is your baby the size of? zucchini (as of tomorrow)
What symptoms are you having? the usual suspects; also, a bit of back pain, which is new this week
Do you have any appointments this week? no, 20 wk appt and A/S is next week...it's so hard to be patient!
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I feel like my bump grew practically overnight! Also, I got a ticket today for speeding...I've only driven on that particular road once and the speed limit is not well-marked; I thought it was 35 (it was 25). They had a speed trap set up and I was doing 34; I was so surprised when they flagged me to pull over, I really had no clue what I had done. Luckily I can take an online driving course to keep the points off my license. I haven't told DH yet. I don't think he'll be mad or anything, I'm just embarrassed, I guess.
QOTW - If you had 3 wishes what would they be? -good health for myself and my family -unlimited funds for travel -full-time maid and laundress

He's so unselfish. I felt like a brat wishing for full-time laundry help

What symptoms are you having? None
Do you have any appointments this week? No
Rants/Raves/Randoms? Started my registry! I have only put major stuff on it that I have done research for so far. 14 items totally $1400! What?! I'm not putting the most expensive stuff either! I knew babies were expensive but dang!

Health and happiness for my immediate family 2. For my H to find a new career that he loves where he could spend more time with the family and make more money 3. World peace (from Miss Congeniality... But seriously)
How many weeks are you? 17+5 What is your baby the size of? onion or pomegranate
What symptoms are you having? Not a whole lot; a little nipple soreness still, and getting up once a night now to pee, plus often having trouble falling back asleep. A big ole bump and baby movements that are somewhat more frequent and *much* more obvious!
Do you have any appointments this week? I had my A/S today!!! Let me AW my little thumb-sucker:
It seemed to be on the early side (plus they put GA as 17+4 for some reason), but I guess they are trying to monitor me a little more closely because of the blood pressure issues I had at the end of my first pregnancy and early on in this one. Everything looked amazing though and baby was moving all around and waving to us The doctor said I had grown a great placenta (wish there was a trophy for this) and that the uterine artery looks excellent, both of which mean that my risk of pre-e is lowered. That was obviously very good to hear.
But now no more appointments until July 6th--wahh!
Rants/Raves/Randoms? Work is absolutely bananas but I am just so happy today that I won't let it get to me!
QOTW - If you had 3 wishes what would they be? This is tough and if I had more time to think about it I would probably come up with something better but here goes: 1) money to pay off my student loan debt and then take a year to travel the world with DH and the kids 2) health and longevity for all of our loved ones and friends 3) world peace, in all seriousness. I would really love it if I could turn on the news even once without crying.
kleigh, I'd love to have cupcake in my head. My tastebuds don't agree.

Rants/Raves/Randoms? My MIL felt she needed to call my H to let him know she thinks we 1) Let DS watch too much tv 2) That the quality of tv programming is not educational enough. H was great and stood up to her. I'm pissed. She doesn't even live in the same state as us and has no basis for her comments.

How many weeks are you? 19
What is your baby the size of? Gameboy
What symptoms are you having? Peeing all.the.time.
Do you have any appointments this week? Anatomy scan today at MFM. All is well.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I had to step away for a few days. The anatomy scan is where everything went wrong last time and the fear and cycling anxiety just got really really bad. The past almost five months I've just been waiting for the other shoe to drop, trying to enjoy myself to enjoy it because in my mind the A/S is where the joy and happiness ends. Well, now I'm 19 weeks with a perfect babe almost halfway through pregnancy and I'm at a loss for feelings if that makes sense? Like, I really get 20+ more weeks? And an actual baby out of this? I feel like I'm getting my BFP all over again.
Sorry for all the words. There are lots of feels happening right now.
QOTW: -endless patience -the ability to find the good in all people -for my mom to find someone to love and appreciate her the way my H loves me
I was just thinking about you sophiegrace, glad to see you checking in. You are welcome to AW anytime Your sweet girl is beautiful and I'm so glad all is well.

Do you have any appointments this week? Not until next Tuesday
Rants/Raves/Randoms? I had dinner with a friend last night who is two weeks ahead of me. Everytime I've seen her since she was 8 weeks I think to myself how big her bump is. Not in a bad way just that this one really popped soon. Well we stood side by side last night And yeah....they are pretty much the same. It was an eye opening experience. Lol.
QOTW - strictly fun wishes I'd say, ability to eat whatever wanted and not gain weight, be able to go invisible so I can spy on secret conversations, and super human speed reading powers so that I csn know everything.
