What week/fruit are you? 25/cauliflower
Boy / Girl / Team Green? Boy!
FTM or STM+? STM
Any appointments this week? No. Had one this week. But now I'm anxiously stalking my online patient portal for my most recent bile acid blood draw.
Symptoms/milestones? Still having that excruciating hip/pelvic/back pain that leaves me unable to walk at night. Doctor said it's likely the joint where the tailbone and pelvis come together is swollen and angry.
I'm not sure if viability was a 24 or 25 week milestone, so I'm not sure if o really have any milestones this week.
Questions/comments/concerns?
GTKY: What are some of your favorite things or activities? I love playing board/card games. I also really enjoy camping.
Questions/comments/concerns? I can't wait to go to my doctor on Tuesday so hopefully they can suggest something about my pelvic pain or if it's just pressure from the baby.
GTKY: What are some of your favorite things or activities? I love home decor and organizing. I spend a lot of my time dreaming up new projects to make my home both function and look better. I also love antiquing with DH, and in the warmer months fishing
Any appointments this week? I had an appointment this past Tuesday and everything is looks great. Baby is measuring in the 52nd percentile, amniotic fluid levels are good, and all of the organs look great. So far so good!
Symptoms/milestones? My swelling feet are the biggest symptom lately.
Questions/comments/concerns? Nope
GTKY: What are some of your favorite things or activities? I love cooking, crocheting, playing games, and hanging out.
Appointments: None this week - I have to go in to do my GTT sometime this week though.
Symptoms/Milestones: Just the usual.
Questions/Concerns/Comments: DD (14 months) has discovered by belly this week and will lift up my shirt to kiss my belly. I know she's too young to understand what's actually happening but there's no doubt in my mind that she knows somethings up. We talk to her all the time about her baby brother and how great of a big sister she's going to be. We're foolish I know!
GTKY Favorite Things: I love sitting on a patio enjoying a beverage with friends, the beach, boating, having nothing to do but curl up with a good book. I think my answers are biased right now as we prepared for yet another winter storm. I've obviously got summer and sunshine on my mind!

What week/fruit are you? 26/Head of lettuce or butternut squash
Boy / Girl / Team Green? Boy
FTM or STM+? FTM
Any appointments this week? Not this past week, but I'm going in for my 1-hour GD test on Monday
Symptoms/milestones? The usual RLP, lots of kicks, and difficulty sleeping. Some swelling, but it's been in the high 80s/low 90s this week so I think it's more due to that.
Questions/comments/concerns? I just booked a flight back to Ohio for a baby shower at 30 weeks and I'm a little nervous about that. My doctor is completely fine with it and I know I don't have anything to worry about right now, but being across the country from my OB and DH even at 30 weeks just has me a little anxious.
GTKY: What are some of your favorite things or activities? I actually really enjoy playing video games. DH and I have a couple that we'll play co-op on, but mostly we each have our favorites and enjoy hanging out while the other person plays.
Any appointments this week? Wow! I actually do. This month flew by. I have one on Friday 2/20.
Symptoms/milestones? She got hiccups for the first time ever. It felt weird, she had them for a good 30 minutes. Poor baby

GTKY: What are some of your favorite things or activities? Beach, beach, beach. I love just laying out and listening to music. I would not be able to live away from the beach.
FTM or STM+? I'm a TTM (have two little boys, but the is my 6th pregnancy)
Any appointments this week? I had an elective 4D scan today - she's adorable. Her little cheeks are filling out, she has the cutest button nose and these long fingers. I have my 28w appointment on Monday and I'm doing the GD test... I hope I can keep it down.
Symptoms/milestones? I had the stomach flu yesterday, so I'm pretty wiped from that. Other than that, same ol - back pain. Hip pain. Just sore.
Questions/comments/concerns? Not right now, I'm starting to want to clean all the things, but I'm also too tired/lazy to start.
GTKY: What are some of your favorite things or activities? I really like to knit, but I haven't found time right now. In the summer, we love going to the pool, and just being outside. I really am ready for warm weather.

Any appointments this week?. My apt was yesterday w ob. Everything is going well both babies are transverse at the moment. Ob had to give me an ultrasound bc she couldn't get baby A's heartbeat. She was trying for quiet some time. If I wasn't feeling baby a hitting my cervix and the movement on the doppler I would have been a lil worried.
Symptoms/milestones? Ohh just the wonderful 3rd tri symptoms . heartburn still, hip pain, trouble getting comfy when sleeping ,trouble breathing etc etc lol. Milestone 1 week closer to meeting my boys
Questions/comments/concerns?

What week/fruit are you? 27w / rutabaga
Boy
FTM
Any appointments this week? Nope, had my GTT this past Monday and haven't heard anything, so hopefully that means all is good. Nothing until March, but then a few in the same week.
Symptoms/milestones? Last week in 2nd tri!! I'm ready to move on! Starting to feel fatigued again, and some heartburn. Otherwise nothing too bad to complain of.
Questions/comments/concerns? Nope.
GTKY: What are some of your favorite things or activities? Pre-pregnancy: running/marathons/triathlons, being outdoors, being at the beach. Now? Bed, lol.
Boy / Girl / Team Green? Little Miss Salty on board...team pink!
FTM or STM+? STM though this is my 4th pregnancy. I've had early losses before both DS and this little girl (see sig)
Any appointments this week?Nope. Just had my 1hr glucola screening last week and all was well. I was treated to the orange drink this time and it wasn't much different to me than the fruit punch I had with DS. Neither is awesome, but I don't find it to be as terrible as a lot of folks do. My next appt is at the end of the month and then I start in on the every-other-week visits in early March....it's zooming ladies, it really is.
Symptoms/milestones? Like many of us, I have to pee while I'm peeing most days. It never stops and seems so much more intense this time than it did with DS. I guess she's just positioned that way. My hips and shoulders are achy each morning thanks to the side-sleeping, and I am having regular BH throughout the day/night. Nothing super unique really I guess. Happy to be this-side of V-day and drawing ever closer to my due date. One more thing....this same day last year, Valentine's day, was the day I went in for a D&C after our second m/c. Seems so long ago and yet so recent at the same time......need less to say, I am thankful to be where I am with this pregnancy.
Questions/comments/concerns? I do notice that this baby is not nearly as roly-poly and active as DS was, or at least not in the same way. She's moving no doubt, but in smaller, more targeted ways for lack of a better description). It freaks me out some since I remember him starfishing in there and throwing his weight around so differently and intensely. I'm taking comfort in her consistent movement, and reminding myself every pregnancy is different, but it's a source of focus for me and occasional doubt....if I'm being honest.
GTKY: What are some of your favorite things or activities? I love the same stuff many of you like...reading, running, traveling, etc. I don't have a crafty bone in my body though, so my penchant for home decor and what not is often sated via my wallet. We're big travelers and are excited about our adventures to come as a family of 4. We are big into college football and love to tailgate in the fall when we can make it happen. We also decided yesterday that we're going to gift these kiddos scuba-diving lessons for their birthdays when their old enough....so we get back in the water and we can ALL GO!
BFP #1 7/07/11 ~ Due Date 3/18/12 ~ MMC Dx 8/17/12 (at 9wks) BFP #2 10/30/11 ~ Due Date 7/9/12 ~ DS born 7/10/12 BFP #3 1/07/14 ~ Due Date 9/19/14 ~ MMC Dx 2/14/14 (at 8wks) BFP #4 8/25/14 ~ Due Date 5/2/15 ~ DD born 5/7/15
saltyh2O ...I feel the same way about movement difference too. DD was extremely active and this one seems to be more relaxed. A completely different experience. It makes me nervous sometimes too. Movement calms my PgAL brain. I talked about this with a good friend and she experienced the same thing. Perhaps it is common?
maggiet19 - it's encouraging to know I'm not alone in those moments of doubt...PgAL brain is cruel mistress. Thank you for taking a moment to offer that comment!
