[icedtea]

Super cute ugaqueencity!

Weeks/Size of Baby: 16w4d / tarsier

Symptoms: Insomnia, hip pain, nasal congestion

Appointments: Normal checkin on 12/14.

To Do's: Finalize registry (early shower since I have to fly north for it). Continue stocking up on diapers.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: 2nd tri, while better than 1st, has not been the dream I hoped. My head hurts most of the time and I'm still nauseated a lot. I'm come to terms with it, but hmph.

QOTW - What's your favorite type of holiday/Christmas cookie? I'm not a huge cookie person so I haven't had that many. I'm always a fan of a well-made iced sugar cookie.

icedtea , I was puking daily up until I think 19 weeks. I was convinced I'd be sick my whole pregnancy since the start of second tri was far from magical, but it eventually got better. I feel like it's an added mind fuck though since everyone tells you how great you'll feel after first tri, so many sorries and lots of hugs

Thank you! I'm sorry it was shitty for you too, but this gives me hope. I keep mentally beating myself up for not getting anything done and H keeps telling me to rest and accept that I'm growing a human. Him and his logic.

Weeks/Size of Baby: 22+2/corn on the cob/papaya

Symptoms: not too much. Some RLP when I get up to pee in the night. My SPD is really painful so I purchased a support belt. Ask me how much I wear that thing....

Appointments: 12/15 repeat A/S to check for 4th quadrant of the heart (couldn't see it on 11/29 - she was moving around too much, not helpful)

To Do's: I picked up the glider today so tomorrow my mom and I will put it together. We are also going to paint touch up in her room and my new room downstairs (I am getting to the point where walking up to my bedroom is killing me)

ETA: I went downstairs and assembled the chair myself
Here she is:

+1 to this. I threw up until 16 weeks and was still off a couple weeks after.

No worries though, DH got my last vomit episode on film when he came to help but realized I was sitting on the toilet peeing while vomiting on the floor in front of me. I believe he said it was going to be his announcement photo. Jokes on him - I made him clean it.

That's just mean, videotaping you at the worst time!

Weeks/size: 24w1d, cantelope

Symptoms: rolling over is starting to get tough and I'm just generally feeling the weight more

Appointments: 24 week check Thursday, glucose test next week

To-dos: I feel like I'll continue to have nothing to write here until we move a month before my due date and life gets absolutely insane

Rants/raves/randoms: I feel so much bigger than last pregnancy even though I've gained about the same amount of weight. Baby just feels so big already too, these movements are crazy

QOTW: I love making spritz cookies with my cookie press

[hpnegirl]

Weeks/Size of Baby: 20w3d/ palmier cookie

Symptoms: congestion city over here

Appointments: MW app yesterday went well. Growth scan in 2 weeks

To Do's: assemble crib and dresser this weekend to start prepping nursery

Rants/Raves/Randoms: my ILs are coming out this weekend so the furniture being here this week gives me an escape from having to deal with my MIL. Once that's assembled, I can start putting things away which means an even longer escape. Plus, then I can finish wrapping DS1's gifts as an added escape. Good plan will probably fail but I'm going to try...

Random- DH got to feel DS2 kick from the outside for the first time last night. It was really cute to see because DH got super giddy when it happened

QOTW - What's your favorite type of holiday/Christmas cookie?
Cappuccino crinkles. Yum
