25 weeks!

I'm feeling pretty good right now. Definitely taking advantage of this while I can. Next appointment isn't until March 19. I passed my 1 hr GD test last week so feeling good about that!

This will be #2 on both sides of the family, and DS was #1! Both H and I are the oldest and our siblings are all single and not in baby making mode so as of right now, our kids could be the quite a bit older first cousins lol.

How far along are you?
25 weeks today!

Symptoms/Appointments/milestones?
Feeling tired, constipated, having Braxton-Hicks, baby moves around A LOT. Some heartburn, hip/leg pain at night. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Next appointment isn't until 28 weeks, when I have to do the GD test Not looking forward to that at all.

Milestones - finally found a doula! So I feel relieved about that. And I have (counting today) 14 more days at work before I start what I'm calling my pre-maternity leave. My job is a nightmare, and I'm not going back anyway, so luckily I have enough PTO and money saved that I can leave early. Also, because DD was five weeks early, I wanted to be sure to have everything wrapped up well in advance so that I wouldn't be leaving suddenly. I CAN'T WAIT.

GTKY: What grandbaby # will this be on each side of the family?
Grandbaby #3 on both sides. DD was grandbaby #1 on both sides, and I now have two nephews, one on each side, so this will be grandson #2 on both sides, too.

Hello 26 weeks.

Symptoms/milestones/appointments: no real symptoms except RLS. thank goodness that's not every night. LO likes to party at bedtime. I have my first OB appointment this friday. I hope I like her. I hated my first OB and am so glad I'm not living in the community where he works.

GTKY: this is grand baby #2 for both sides. DD was the first. Both DH and I are only children so no nieces or nephews for us.

GTKY: first grandbaby on both sides!! This kid will be spoiled.

23 weeks
Symptoms: burps! Like a teenage boy trying to show off, except out of nowhere! My DH thinks it's funny... Also a little shortness of breath, and a harder time getting comfortable when sitting or laying down.
5th grand baby on DH's side, but the first girl. 1st in my side!

My biggest symptom is hip pain/tightness. A yoga teacher friend gave me some stretches to try tonight!

On my side, this is grandkid #14 - sister has 7, brother has 4, sister has 2. One of my nieces has a baby and another niece is pregnant now, too, so there are great grandkids. On H's side, it's #4 - his brother has 3. We're our parents only children together, though, so it's like she's the first grandkid!

-The milestone I'm excited with is making it to third trimester and then 30 weeks, 34 weeks, 38 weeks, and full term.
-The second grandchild on my side and too many to count on my husband's side. His father was a rolling stone!

How far: Today is 23 weeks! Boy is the size of a grapefruit
Symptoms: I have a pretty steady pain under my left ribcage. Comes for an hour sometimes, and then is gone. But always back. Had doc look at it yesterday, said to bring it up with OB next week. I also have my CBC in a week.
GTKY: on K's side this is GREAT grandbaby # 5 for Gram Gram, and number 2 for K's mom. He's #3 (and the third boy) for my parents

24 weeks today, happy V-day! I'd celebrate more, but I just can't seem to stay awake today. So much for that second trimester burst of energy.

These twins will be the first grandchildren on both sides. I'm an only child, and DH's brother is nowhere near procreating, so they will be SPOILED!

I read about a growth spurt for babies between 23-27 weeks that can sap your energy and also make you hungrier. I've been feeling it!

24 weeks! I had to explain the significance of this one to MH this morning. He's clueless.

Symptoms/Appointments/milestones?
Same old symptoms for me: hip pain and sleep issues, nothing too terrible.
Follow-up ultrasound on Friday to get better pictures of LO's heart.
I'm not sure that most people would count this as a milestone, but last night I had my first dream where he was actually here. It was so weird. Also, I can see little tremors on my belly when he's dancing around in there.

GTKY: What grandbaby # will this be on each side of the family?
1st on MH's side
1st for my mom
2nd(ish) for my dad. I have a stepsister who has a daughter. My dad married her mom when she was already an adult. It will be the first grandson though.

23 weeks today

Only symptom I can even register is this damn never ending migraine. We finally got it somewhat under control last week, then I ran out of meds on Monday and when I called in my refill, turns out my doc had ordered too small a dosage and the pharmacy can't refill it til Sunday. For some reason all hands are tied on this so I just have to wait it out til then, or cave and go to the hospital for IV meds. Ugh. I barely notice the RLS, sunburn-like itchy rash all over my body, and heartburn/reflux causing me to wheeze? WTF yo. Im so so grateful that my baby is healthy and I love my growing bump, but other than that, this whole pregnancy thing is not for me. I really hate thinking that way but dang, this is rough.

My baby girl will be the 5th grandchild on my side and the 6th on SO. The 3rd girl in a row for mine, and the 4th girl total for his.

[periwinkledaydreams]

I know this is not the thread for it, but this is the thread where I actually posted about my incessant migraine. 13 days without a break. I'm relieved to update that SO is on his way to the pharmacy now to pick up my refill, and my OB was able to find a neurologist to squeeze me in tomorrow morning, even though she has no openings until June. She's coming in to the office 45 minutes early just to see me. Can i get an AMEN?! Squeaky wheel gets the grease and Ive been SQUEAKING up a storm!
