EDD/Weeks: 4/16/17, since it's after midnight technically 20w1d

Size: banana

Updates/Appointments: anatomy scan in the morning (10:30 PST)

Feeling: Excited! The baby is moving a ton lately and DH is starting to look at names and we're finally going to start clearing out the nursery.

Still get occasional hip pain and/or tailbone/vagina pressure that I do not like.

Rants/Raves/Randoms:
I can't wait to find out the sex!!

GTKY:
I am FIRMLY a December 1st kind of girl. My fall stuff will stay up until then. But I'm trying to convince DH we need one of those light projectors and some blow up penguins. Haha.

[lilmonk]

EDD/Weeks: 24/04 - 19w

Size: gameboy/mango

Updates/Appointments: midwife appointment on the 30th, and then the morphology scan booking soonish.

Feeling: sick with a bug which makes things interesting. I'm stuck near toilets but it's given me two days off work.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: lots of movement and DH can feel it from the outside. Placenta location maybe makes a huge difference or being 120lbs lighter...both? Baby loves the sound of DH voice and DS screeching causes it to move in flips and flops. It also loves music and every time I sing Christmas songs it's like a dance party.

GTKY: we are after thanksgiving is fair game but I started early this year because of work and no thanksgiving. Hahaha. I'm waiting for my lights to be delivered to finish my tree.

[heisenberg]

EDD/Weeks: April 8/21 plus 2

Size: baseball hat 😳

Updates/Appointments: Nada

Feeling: Some RLP and cramping, but otherwise good. Just tired. So very tired.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: Nothing pregnancy related, but my first born turns 2 tomorrow. 😭


GTKY: When do your Christmas decorations go up? Share a pic? If you're celebrating another holiday soon, share it here! We fly to my parents for Christmas and don't usually decorate. I'm sure as the kids get older, we will. We're not monsters, just lazy.

EDD/Weeks: 4.15/20+2

Size: Endive/Banana

Updates/Appointments: Anatomy Scan tomorrow at 10am. I can't wait to see her!!! I'm so excited

Here's M:

SPOILER: Click to show

Feeling: I feel good minus the pelvic pain. My pelvis is in a constant state of ache.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: MH needs to stop being an asshole. He was such a dick yesterday and I just can't stand the amount of stress he is causing me. Work is also stressful and I get to deal with some lovely staffing issues today and I don't like being the boss.

Christmas decorations are up. We put our fake tree up a few weeks ago and got the real one on Black Friday.

Here is what I have for pics: (PDQ)

EDD/Weeks: 4.30/18w1d

Size: croissant

Updates/Appointments: A/S Wednesday afternoon

Feeling: meh. Is it May yet?

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I hoping baby will cooperate on Wednesday because I can't shake the feeling that we're going to be one of those odd ball cases where the blood work sex was wrong 🙈

I'm also debating if I want to fork up the money to cord bank this time around. We banked with DS because I worked for the parent company of one of the private banks which paid for it. All we pay now is the yearly storage fee. I feel like banking one was enough, though, and I don't know how much longer we'll keep it banked, actually. I keep forgetting to ask the pedi

Thanksgiving or Black Friday. They went up Thursday night this year

[iqeb]

EDD/Weeks: April 9, 21+1

Updates/Appointments: Ob 12/19. And then probably 1 hour right around the new year, ugh.

Feeling: Still randomly nauseous and exhausted.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: Stressing out a little about managing 2 come April. The 15 month old is so attached to me, and also I've gotten kind of used to sleeping.

Tree and outside lights are up. Toddler is a little afraid of the tree.

EDD/Weeks: 4.29/ 18 weeks today

Size: A croissant, I'm guessing lol

Updates/Appointments: AS Thursday 8 am, appt to follow

Feeling: Okay. I feel the baby occasionally, but I'm not worried about it. DD didn't move much either until later on.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I already have shopping for DD done, but not DH. The only thing I could think of was a PS4, but he's pretty adamant we don't buy one... Yet. Grr.

Since we are currently staying with my ILs, FIL has already put the lights up. No tree yet. They have a fake one, but haven't put it out yet.

raven, (not meant to be taken the wrong way), check the dates! You're a little farther along than you'd think and every day matters!

None taken! I think that means 18+2 is correct then. Lol

Yes! And we all know those extra two days mean something, especially at the end when we are hugely pregnant and counting down lol

[thenewkmr]

EDD/Weeks: April 27. 18w4d

Size: a slingshot? I have no idea how that is an accurate way to describe the size lol

Updates/Appointments: anatomy scan this week, Thursday I think.

Feeling: feeling good. A bit overwhelmed that this pregnancy is going so quickly.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: not much going on here, finally thinking about nursery decor and looking forward to decorating another little room.


GTKY: When do your Christmas decorations go up? Share a pic? If you're celebrating another holiday soon, share it here! We put our fake prelit tree up after thanksgiving festivities that day. But no ornaments because Delaney is really loving touching the tree. On DH's next day off, assuming he has one before Christmas, we are planning to decorate the top half of the tree that she can't reach haha

[ThankfulSnail]

EDD/Weeks: 4/19- 19w5d

Size: Mango

Updates/Appointments: I'll have my a/s and ob appt next Monday, 12/5.

Feeling: Way more kicks lately, like maybe 4x/day instead of just once, if that.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I can't wait to see this baby next week, but I also can't wait for the a/s to be over so there's no more temptation to find out the sex!

We put up our outdoor lights yesterday and put the tree up but it's not decorated yet. It's a slow process this year.

[nic1231]

lilmonk that is so cute that the baby responds to your dh and ds.
onesweetworld good luck at your scan tomorrow! Love the lights on the house!
hpnegirl good luck on the scan Wednesday, hope all goes well
raven good luck Thursday on your scan, hope everything goes great
ourcrazynavylife hope the scan went well today!

[nic1231]

EDD/Weeks: 4/5/17 21+5

Size: baseball caps

Updates/Appointments: fetal echo tomorrow.

Feeling: achy back, tired, carpal tunnel in hand

Rants/Raves/Randoms: nursery is 90% done, work is becoming difficult due to the belly getting in the way of carrying boxes


GTKY: When do your Christmas decorations go up? Share a pic? If you're celebrating another holiday soon, share it here! Decor is already up! Usually day after thanksgiving but my son was gone to his dad's so we put it up early.

Don't know how to do a spoiler so here it is.

[sympkin]

EDD/Weeks: 21w 5d

Size: bok choy

Updates/Appointments: Second anatomy scan this afternoon, then I actually get a couple of weeks with nothing!

Feeling: Awful. Hormones must be doing a number on me as I have had just constant migraines for the past week and a half-ish now. My neurologist is thankfully not concerned but my productivity is right down the drain and I've really had to limit any screen or reading time.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: This kid is so active they can already wake me from a dead sleep. Third tri is going to be. so. fun.

GTKY: I have no firm opinions on this yet. This will be our first holiday season in a house and our first time really decorating. Although the stores that drag out the Christmas gear right after Halloween are particularly irritating.

[hpnegirl]

sympkin you learn to sleep through the nighttime kicks, hang in there!

[rowe]

EDD/Weeks: April 19 / 20w tomorrow

Size: banana

Updates/Appointments: midwife next week

Feeling: feeling good pregnancy wise, but I have a cold so if that could fuck right off that would be great

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I'm also a bit stressed about adding another to the mix and how I will handle it! Much like iqeb, I've gotten used to sleeping again after almost a year of shitty sleep and I'm scared!!

And I had my first pang of mom guilt about bringing another baby into G's life, and how she will adjust, etc. I know in the long run it will be good but I got a bit sad thinking about how this will affect her.

We put up our tree very early this year, like two weeks ago! We are going to California over Xmas so I don't even know why we decorated, but I'm glad we did. I think we just needed some cheer after the US election and it makes the dark mornings easier to bear! We also did outdoor lights and some other small stuff, but here's the tree. I did all gold ornaments this year - but still need to find a tree topper.

[ThankfulSnail]

rowe, I love your all-gold ornaments! We do a mix of red and gold. I love color-coordinated trees!

[hpnegirl]

rowe I get the "wtf did we do?" feeling multiple times a week still and have a massive amount of guilt about making such a big change to DS's world.

[nic1231]

rowe I get that too. My son is 8 and get the surprise of twins so I feel bad taking all of me away from him now

[lilmonk]

I get it too. DS is four and we are already experiencing the regression stages. He is excited but then wary of the pregnancy. I struggle with the "can I love someone as much as I love him?" guilt.

[financialdiva]

EDD/Weeks: 4/17, 20 weeks

Size: Paper Airplane- which my boys thought was awesome

Updates/Appointments: Had my anatomy scan this week. Baby girl looks perfect. I'm so relieved everything looked great.

Feeling: Pretty good. All day sickness finally went away about 2 weeks ago, not too terribly big yet. At that sweet spot of pregnancy right now!

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I originally wanted to wait until the baby was born to find out the gender, but I'm so glad we found out sooner. My boys who are 6 and 3 are so excited and being able to share that news with them was a really sweet moment. (we did the cake thing with them and found out together, which they loved).
