Cravings/symptoms/Rants/raves: I have to figure out how to communicate that I have PTSD to my hospital. My doula team is aware but I want to be able to have it communicated appropriately
GTKY: what's your favorite tv show? Any good shows you like to binge?

Cravings/symptoms/rants/raves: My hips/lower back are stiff/sore. I found some stretches that I need to do. I think I'm going to tell DH all I want for Mother's Day is to go get a massage. Cravings....I love Chipotle. Other than that, it really depends on the day.
GTKY: what's your fave TV show? I love TV. This is Us, Grey's, Jane. DH and I are binge watching The Office. We had watched most of the show when it was on air but for some reason, stopped watching the last couple seasons. So funny. I forgot how much I loved that show.

EDD: Sept 17
How many weeks: 20w 1d
Appointments/ultrasounds: Next appointment later this month.
Cravings/symptoms/Rants/raves: I'm tired often and get occasional headaches and heartburn. Otherwise, doing well here in second tri! No specific cravings lately. Oh and still nesting and making lists like a crazy person.
GTKY: I don't think I can pick one favorite TV show. I recently watched Parks & Rec again (love Amy Pohler). We don't have cable either, so all of my binge watching happens on Netflix. Oh and +1 for The Office, caybeh! DH and I watched that, too. I'll always love Friends, though.
Appointments/ultrasounds: Next one I have to reschedule, but it will be glucose test and another ultrasound, because baby girl wasn't in the best position during the A/S.
Cravings/symptoms/Rants/raves: mild heartburn has started. I'm really hoping it doesn't get as bad as last time.
GTKY: what's your favorite tv show? Any good shows you like to binge? I started watching The Handmaid's Tale. It's pretty intense for pregnant me. I'm really looking forward to Game of Thrones coming back on. My guilty pleasure over the summer is Big Brother.
Cravings/symptoms/rants/raves: I have been drinking way too much chocolate milk. I finished off an entire cake last week. I need to slow down on all the deserts. My back is hurting more. My uterus has also been hurting from the sleeping position I have been forced into while cosleeping with L. I can't put a pillow under me to support it and it just aches when I get up in the morning.
GTKY: I'm watching Jane the Virgin right now. It's pretty good but I'm not binge watching it. I haven't found anything binge worthy in awhile.
Appointments/ultrasounds: 5/9 I have my anatomy scan and fetal echocardiogram.
Cravings/symptoms/Rants/raves: No solid cravings, just not into meals much... I want veggies though for some reason and salty chips for a snack. My blood sugars have been more tough to control, so I really have to be more mindful of everything.
GTKY: what's your favorite tv show? Any good shows you like to binge? I like modern family and the goldbergs a lot. Also, game of thrones, oitnb, house of cards. I like Netflix shows because I can watch them when I can. I really don't watch much tv, but I will get into something once and a while.

Edd: 9/2
22 weeks
Ultrasound and OB appt this morning
No cravings, been tired more recently I feel like, but still feel like I'm somewhat nesting already and hate not being able to do everything I want to. Also been having some bad back pain which I think is due to baby being so low and possibly my anterior placenta. Also indigestion has kicked in.
Favorite all time tv show is desperate housewives. I may try and rewatch it all while on maternity leave. I love binge watching shows...just never have time to anymore. We are lucky to get through our dvr. Last Friday dd had a play date and dh and I just sat on the couch while she was gone trying to catch up on some of them...still a lot to go!

EDD: 8/31
How many weeks: 22w5d
Appointments/ultrasounds: 5/15 for glucose screening
Cravings/symptoms/Rants/raves: We are getting ready to put our house on the market and it is so stressful. Even if it sells quickly it will be a lot to find another house & get settled before the baby comes.
GTKY: what's your favorite tv show? Any good shows you like to binge? DH and I have been binging on Orphan Black right now. So good.

Appointments/ultrasounds: Just went in yesterday to get a little more imaging on Baby A (who was slightly uncooperative at anatomy scan) and got to see both of them again. They are perfect Being transferred to MD/perinatology care as of my next appointment, which apparently isn't for another month.
Cravings/symptoms/Rants/raves: My crotch hurts lol. That little space right in the middle of the pubic bone, I swear, it gets twinges all the time. And my lower back. And restless legs like crazy. All things considered, though, I feel like I'm doing really well.
GTKY: what's your favorite tv show? Any good shows you like to binge? Too hard to answer, I watch a lot of TV. Currently watching Jane the Virgin, Last Man on Earth, Life in Pieces, etc.

Girl, same boat with listing! We're listing our house on Friday and expect it to get offers within a few days. Which, from what I understand, means we'll likely be closing by early June and then have to move out shortly thereafter... and have yet to find a house to move into. Yikes. Good luck to you!!!
Cravings/symptoms/Rants/raves: things have been ok, had a weird light headedness over the weekend but it went away, headaches still almost every day. Still craving Mexican food...and now pastries, too, ha!
GTKY: what's your favorite tv show? Any good shows you like to binge? I like tv but haven't had anything I've loooved recently. I liked big little lies, MH and I watch homeland when it's on, I love ID network and all real crime shows.

kirabou,- Good luck to you! FX the process goes smoothly! I'm mostly worried about finding another house. If ours sells fast that's great but there isn't a lot on the market right now that we are interested in.
saltandvinegar , same here. The area we're moving to is apparently a major seller's market, which... great, lol. There ARE houses on the market there, but they're either way outside the parameters we need, or they're just kinda... dumpy?? IDK. I have my fingers crossed that come later spring and early summer, more houses will be listed and we'll be able to find something we want. Otherwise, apartment-living it is...

saltandvinegar that's how I was before we put our house on the market last year, then we randomly ended up finding the house of our dreams days before putting our house on the market! We had looked all over and just felt like we were going to end up settling

I hope it works out like this for us. I don't want to feel like we have to settle for something that we aren't in love with.
Appointments/ultrasounds: Nope - nothing for a couple more weeks
Cravings/symptoms/Rants/raves: I mentioned this in the wellness check in but I just feel physically incapable. Picking up and carrying my child is hard. Walking is hard.
GTKY: what's your favorite tv show? Any good shows you like to binge? It used to be Project Runway but I haven't been able to get into the last few seasons. I watch a few different things but I wouldn't say I have a favorite.
kellykapow, I am also finding Handmaid's Tale to be pretty intense for pregnant me. But I think it would be pretty intense for mother me or for childless feminist me too. So....
Appointments/ultrasounds: Appointment on Friday, US in about 2 weeks.
Cravings/symptoms/Rants/raves: Doing good now that I'm feeling better. I've been craving coke every once in awhile.
GTKY: what's your favorite tv show? Any good shows you like to binge?
Favorite over all: Scrubs. It always makes me laugh and I like watching random episodes
Current: West World or Game of Thrones. I really don't watch that much live tv. I'm usually busy getting the kids fed and ready for bed when we get home. I'm interested in American Gods, but I might wait until I read some reviews to see if it's interesting.
kellykapow , I am also finding Handmaid's Tale to be pretty intense for pregnant me. But I think it would be pretty intense for mother me or for childless feminist me too. So....
I agree that it is intense in general, but I find that I can't handle watching stuff like that as well when pregnant.

You can always save it. I don't think it's going anywhere and then maybe there will be another season if you like it.
Appointments/ultrasounds: We had our anatomy scan and everything looks great! Baby is measuring a couple weeks ahead and is quite a bit bigger than DS was as this stage. DS enjoyed watching the baby on the big screen for the first few minutes before becoming enthralled with an inflated latex glove, haha!
Cravings/symptoms/rants/raved: I've been feeling pretty good in general but the nausea still isn't completely gone and I randomly puked this morning (just to keep me on my toes!). On a positive note, I set Sept 1 as my last day of work before maternity leave so I have less than 4 months to go!!
GTKY: This probably sounds pathetic but I've been watching old seasons of Gilmore Girls for the last few months. I watched the new episodes when they were released on Netflix and was trying to figure out why I never really watched the show back in the day and realized it was because I went boarding school and we had no access to TV, which is kind of ironic given the story line and the fact that I'm exactly the same age as Rory's character. So I'm making up for a misspent youth, I guess.
Oh, I'm almost forgot my most biggest rave! DS peed in the toilet (standing up and everything) for the first time tonight. We're not PT in earnest yet but have been asking him if he'd like to try before his bath for the last month or so. He usually says no or just stands/sits there making straining noises with no action, but he got it tonight and was so proud of himself!

Oh man, I am so bad at participating. But hi! It is a new week, we shall see if I can do better.
EDD: Sept 25. There is no way I'm making it that long, as I am having identical twins. Docs say if I make it to 36 weeks they will be happy. Probably would not want me going past 37.
How many weeks: 19w
Appt/ultrasounds: I had a quick ultrasound this week at the perinatologist. Missing so much work is kind of a pain, but part of me is enjoying seeing my kiddos every two weeks.
Cravings/symptoms/rants/raves: Heartburn is remaining mild so that is nice. My feel are starting to swell by the end of the day. :/ That didn't happen until the very end with my first.
GTKY: These days I'm all about easy tv shows. I like shows like Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Superstore, NCIS, Lucifer.
Cravings/symptoms/rants/raves: My hips/lower back are stiff/sore. I found some stretches that I need to do. I think I'm going to tell DH all I want for Mother's Day is to go get a massage. Cravings....I love Chipotle. Other than that, it really depends on the day.

What kind of stretches? I definitely have moments where I think some stretching would be nice, but it's hard to find positions that help.
