Symptoms: Heartburn, insomnia, aches and pains.

Appointments: GTT on March 1st. Wooo. I have the fruit punch one.

To Do's: Gah, so much. This all crept up on me. We need to go over our registry to see what we want to get now that the shower is done. Buy a freezer to put freezer meals in. Make freezer meals. Other things. Gah, again.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I can't seem to stop getting sinus infections. This is my life now. Work is causing me a lot of stress, so I'm trying to just breathe through it and not let it affect me.

QOTW: What villain do you really feel for? The Maleficent movie really made me sad for her.

Weeks/Size of Baby: 23 weeks! Spaghetti squash/Barbie doll

Symptoms: New this week are aches/stretching type pains along the sides of my abdomen. Also getting stronger movement from baby and much higher, which is crazy and awesome. Randomly getting a little heartburn here and there, but not too bad yet.

Appointments: Next Friday for 24-week

To Do's: Make a list of to-dos. This week: Stop by daycare on the way to work tomorrow to put down our deposit. And call insurance about the breast pump.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: Rant you heard yesterday (my mom's reaction to our guidelines on visiting once baby comes). Rave is all this awesome baby movement. H felt it on the outside last night!!!

QOTW: What villain do you really feel for? Almost all of them. Most seem to have a back story with something terrible which made them the way they are or they are just misunderstood. I'm struggling to think of a true evil person with absolutely nothing decent about them at one point in their life.

Weeks/Size of Baby: 20 Tomorrow / half a pound or so

Symptoms: acid reflux, I want food, but cant eat, RLP, and getting more tired every day. Lots of kicks

Appointments: Monday the 27th seeing my OB again, cant wait to hear the little heart beat

To Do's: We are so good on this, but are biting at the gate to decorate the room! We are hopefully finding out sex on 03.07 after baby was uncooperative last time. So we are trying to do as many gender neutral projects while we can.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I neeeeds to know the sex

QOTW: What villain do you really feel for? Damon Salvatore maybe he is an anti-hero vs villain. I know there are villains I just want to win... like Will-E Coyote.. could he just eat the bird already>?

juliayadda do you have a feeling one way or the other on baby's sex?

[cateyes]

Weeks/Size of Baby: 24+3/Corn on the Cob of GI Joe

Symptoms: None reallly. Sleeping is hard as I have to switch positions but not impossible. Charlie horses have started creeping up.

Appointments: Had our 24 week one today. All was well and we got to hear baby's heartbeat. Nothing again until the end of March for the 28 week appt plus GD testing and a RhoGam shot.

To Do's: Find a house. Our landlord has decided to sell our house so now we are scrambling to find and buy a new house before baby as our lease expires two weeks after baby is due.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: Just really enjoying more movement and the calm that is second tri.

QOTW: What villain do you really feel for? I am a social worker so I always feel for the bad guy and think "what happened to you to make you so angry and lash out". I am a ton of fun at parties.....

I don't know! Part of me thinks girl but part of me thinks I am one those people that will just have boys. Does that even make sense. I just have so many friends with all boys.

I was convinced that Oliver was a girl.  Clearly I was way off in my instinct.

Weeks/Size of Baby: 17+5 pomegranate

Symptoms: I'm feeling little kicks and I'm like be still my heart 😍

Appointments: On Monday. Anatomy scan. I hope it goes well and that the baby cooperates to find out the sex!

To Do's: um everything? We are really trying to move out of state, so we are putting things off until we know.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: RLP is annoying.

QOTW: What villain do you really feel for? Pretty much all of them at some point. Plus pregnancy hormones have me super sappy and in my feels.

Related to the QOTW, I used to get so upset at the Trix commercials as a kid. Let the rabbit get some damn cereal you selfish jerks!
