Check in 11/1

[Quinstar]

We haven't done one in a while, and I really like the check ins, so I'm being brave and starting a thread for the first time! I know some boards do weekly ticker change threads, so if there's maybe a different way we'd all like to do the check ins, voice your opinions!

Weeks/Baby's Size:


Appointment plans/results:

[Quinstar]

EDD: March 7th

Weeks/Baby's Size: 22 weeks/corn on the cob

Appointment plans/results: We have a check up on the 14th, and another ultrasound that same day to check on the calcified spots on his heart. Hopefully they haven't gotten bigger, or started to impede the function of the valves.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Pretty good. Starting to get uncomfortable at night, and the heartburn is back. But my appetite is almost 90% back, which is nice.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Next week I'll have a 'before' shot of the nursery when it's got sheet rock!

Bonus GTKY: When does the first snow of the year usually fall where you live? In Utah where I grew up it was always Halloween. It just doesn't really snow here on the plains in Colorado though. Unless it's suddenly 10ft of snow in March.

EDD: March 7th

Weeks/Baby's Size: 22w/ear of corn

Appointment plans/results: Regular MW appt tomorrow, follow-up A/S on 11/18

How ya feeling: Feeling pretty good; the ligament pain continues and my lower back hurts at the end of the day. Otherwise no complaints. We have yoga at work on Fridays and I'm going to have to modify most of the prone positions so I'm looking up modified sun salutations.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Nothing new

Bonus GTKY: When does the first snow of the year usually fall where you live? Not until January usually. We might get some flurries in November and December.

EDD: 3/8


Weeks/Baby's Size: 22/ papaya


Appointment plans/results: next appointment is 11/10. I think it's the glucose tolerance test and such.


How ya feeling: pretty good still, getting pretty tired easily though.


Any pics? Nope.


Bonus GTKY: When does the first snow of the year usually fall where you live?

Never. If it does it's a natural disaster type situation. Or it's a small flurry and everyone acts like its a blizzard and stocks up on water and crackers. :/

I miss snow

EDD: 03/10


Weeks/Baby's Size: 21w4d baby bok choy


Appointment plans/results: endo tomorrow.


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
No new symptoms. Feeling better than ever and getting lots of kicks.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)?
Nope.

Bonus GTKY: When does the first snow of the year usually fall where you live?

Lately, It depends on the year. Also, I live at a higher elevation (the snow belt) than anywhere else in my part of the province so I get it earlier than places even just 30mins from me.
It snowed here already last week. I think Tuesday and Wednesday. Nothing is left now and there was only about a cm on the ground. It normally starts snowing any time now. Last year we had nothing until January though. Christmas was super mild, it was bizarre. We have been going through spells of mild winters with very little snow, with random winters of full blown snowmageddon in between.

EDD: 3/21

Weeks/Baby's Size: 20 weeks today / small cantaloupe

Appointment plans/results: everything looked great on the ultrasound last Thursday which was a huge relief. Next appointment is 11/23 but I have shots every Thursday.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) emotional. I'm way more hormonal this time than with DS. DS is waffling on our girl name choice that we've talked about since DS was born and we were thinking about #2. I'm going to start buying sheets and room décor next week!

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Nothing

Bonus GTKY: When does the first snow of the year usually fall where you live? I'm in central IN so it's really hard to tell when that will happen. Given the fact that its November 1st and I sent my kid to MIL's in shorts and a light sweatshirt, I'm not too sure this year. Usually sometime in December we'll get a light dusting.

Appointment plans/results:

As on 11/17. Patiently waiting for the results of the cell free testing.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)

Ok. Everything is starting to hurt. And I puked this morning. But it's way better.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)?

Nope.

Bonus GTKY: When does the first snow of the year usually fall where you live?

Could get flurries any time now. But significant snow probably won't come until Jan.

[cosmicav]

EDD: 02-28 // 03-01

Weeks/Baby's Size: 23 weeks!!! Ovia says the size of a Barbie doll lol. The handprint seems amazingly big!!

Appointment plans/results: Cervix ultrasound next week, but butt shot today.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) With exception of when my pelvic bone is screaming, I feel pretty good! I think this kid sits on a nerve sometimes. I don't appreciate it.

Bonus GTKY: When does the first snow of the year usually fall where you live? Usually like Jan-February. I think last year, we didn't get any until the end of January. But then we continued to get snow well into March.

EDD: 3/23


Weeks/Baby's Size: 19w5d, Mango


Appointment plans/results: Next appt in two weeks, next U/S to finish the anatomy scan in 4 weeks (didn't get everything from the first)


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice). Okay. There is a rib on my right that has pain that comes and goes and sometimes it gets very bad (as in I have to lay completely flat on my back or on my stomach with pillows for a long time to make it go away). It's feeling better today so that's good. Sleep also comes and goes. I'm using my boppy around my belly with extra pillows to sleep on my stomach. It's amazing.


Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Some day I will figure out pictures


Bonus GTKY: When does the first snow of the year usually fall where you live? Never here in San Antonio. I really miss the cold! Half of our walk in closet is cold weather clothing that never gets used. Hopefully in residency we will live somewhere where there is snow.

[callmeKD]

EDD: 3/4/17 is 40 weeks, but I won't go past 38 weeks.


Weeks/Baby's Size: 22 weeks/3 days. 1/2 doz of bagels. so that means I have a dozen of bagels in my belly.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? nada. we ordered the cribs, etc but they won't be in until after Thanksgiving.


Bonus GTKY: When does the first snow of the year usually fall where you live? well, one year we had a Halloween blizzard......otherwise, I would say November but it's almost 60 today. hello, global warming.

[ladytiffany24]

EDD: March 30


Weeks/Baby's Size: 18w5d


Appointment plans/results: A/S on Nov 10th! I can't wait!


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
Starting to feel movement fairly regularly now! Occasional RLP and some heartburn now and then at bedtime. But overall, I'm feeling pretty good!


Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Nothing really at the moment.


Bonus GTKY: When does the first snow of the year usually fall where you live? I'm in Southwestern Ohio. Down here, it also depends on the year. There have been times when I've seen snow on Halloween. But I'd say on average, sometime in later November.

[meggypoo1]

EDD: 3/28

Weeks/Baby's Size: 19 weeks today. Four toed hedgehog

Appointment plans/results: AS on Thursday!!!!

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) my back is starting to hurt more again. My hips too. Also, I am having heart palpitations which I don't remember having at all last time

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)?


Bonus GTKY: When does the first snow of the year usually fall where you live? Normally right around now. It's 77 here though. I am in Cleveland! 😱

[suelou18]

EDD: 3/12

Weeks/Baby's Size: 21 weeks (FTR, I had no idea, so I looked to see which of you ladies had a EDD close to mine so I could copy)

Appointment plans/results: Not for another couple of weeks

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
Still puking several times a week. My gag reflex is on high alert, so it doesn't take much to trigger it. Otherwise, I feel good for the most part. So much better than the 1st trimester. No purchases or baby names yet. I've barely thought about names myself, let alone talk about them with DH.

Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)?
Nope

Bonus GTKY: When does the first snow of the year usually fall where you live?
It could be any day now. We'll probably get at least a dusting this month. Snow that sticks will probably be December or January.

[missi]

EDD: March 1st


Weeks/Baby's Size: 22w6d


Appointment plans/results: Next appointment on Thursday. Hoping the cervix is still above 3


How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) This child doesn't know how to stop moving >< I love it, and I dislike it at the same time. I'm actually having nightmares about it After a bit of an intense discussion / fight as my dh left for work the other day.. I'm considering giving in to the junior thing. I am still not fond of it, but he mentions it so much. He claims it is because it gets under my skin and he likes to pick on me. It feels like, the more you mention something, the more you really actually want it? ~sigh~


Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? I should take a pic of the cross-stitch blanket I'm working on. It was SUPPOSED to be for one of the twins, but they ended up with blankets from the NICU and from Grandma, and they made life so hard that I didn't finish it.. so I guess this little boy gets it instead!


Bonus GTKY: When does the first snow of the year usually fall where you live? ... never? Go go SoCal A part of me misses it... and then I think about scraping ice off the windshield in freezing wind and I remind myself how nice warm weather and palm trees are. If we can get some snow to fall up in the mountains near us, we hope to take the girls up to it again this year.

[mosdub]

EDD: 3/30 or 4/1

Size: sweet potato 18w3d

Appointment: anatomy scan in two weeks!

Feeling: more and more movement which is so reassuring! Also where is this 2nd trimester energy?? I could fall asleep at my desk.

GTKY: it sometimes snows before Halloween, but doesn't usually stick until November/December. Last year we had a warm winter with a green Christmas but that's unusual. No matter what there's snow in Jan-feb-march.

[amandamh2]

EDD: April 3- we'll see if my A/S confirms this, LMP says March 23, dating scan said April 3. I have no idea on dates except that I suspect March 23 is too early


Weeks/Baby's Size: 18 weeks, sweet potatoe (must be smaller than the giant ones at my store!)


Appointment plans/results: AS Nov. 15, appointment Nov. 17


How ya feeling: Pretty good overall. RLP and general hip/back soreness are already a problem but DH has been super good about giving me massages to help.


Any pics (u/s, bump, nursery ideas, craft projects, etc)? Can somebody help me learn how to upload pics? I can't figure it out


Bonus GTKY: We had a giant blizzard Oct. 5-6 but it melted. The snow could come to stay for real any day now but if we're lucky it won't come until closer to December since it will likely stick around until late March or even end of April

[daisylola11]

EDD: march 6th

Weeks/Baby's Size: 22+1 // papaya

Appointment plans/results: belly check nov 15th and then GD in dec

How ya feeling: feeling good but getting the pelvic and RLP more, makes me feel weak I didn't think I'd be feeling so tired and sore by the end of the day already. I've been a bottomless pit lately too... but heartburn.

Any pics: no pics but thinking of crocheting either a blanket or one of these for the bassinet in the stroller

Bonus GTKY: no snow in the sac area, but we are planning a trip just up the mountain to play in the snow once there's more in dec/Jan
