Weekend ticker change! 2/29-3/1

[Deleted]

Another week down!  One less to go!

Weeks?  Fruit?

Symptoms? Appointments?

QOTW: How over winter are you? What are you looking forward to with spring, allegedly, right around the corner?

25 weeks this weekend! I cannot believe I'm 12 weeks away from full term, 15 weeks away, at most, from having him in my arms.

Heartburn & reflux & achy back. And I think I'm losing my second tri glow, if I ever had that in the first place. No appointments until 3/17.

QOTW: Winter hasn't even been that bad here and I'm over it. We have had 18 inches of snow in the last week and a half, which I realize is nothing, compared to the east coast. But I hate it. I'm tired enough without the gloom of snow and grey and ice and cold complicating things. I want to just sit in the back yard in a T shirt and feel the warmth of the sun and watch my boys and dogs frolicking. But we still have a good month and a half of regular, heavy, snow. Colorado is always snowy in the early spring. Come on May. Please just get here!

24 weeks today! Wahoo!! LO is the size of a canteloupe.

Symptoms have remained pretty much the same for the last several weeks- low back/hip pain are the biggest issue. Also just feeling super full or huge all the time- I feel like I could burst! Had my appointment Tuesday, LO is growing exactly where he needs to be and I'm feeling/seeing lots of baby kicks. Got some scary news about my placenta maturing too quickly, but my Dr and U/S tech seem like they are right on top of things- which makes me feel better. Praying that everything continues normally and we won't have to deliver early.

I am ready for spring because I am ready to enjoy being outdoors all the time. I planted a ton of bulbs last fall and I'm really excited to see everything come up! I am also ready to spend some time in the afternoons relaxing by the pool or in our hammock. Spring can't get here soon enough!

26w1d. Head of lettuce

Symptoms include all the hip back pelvic pain that's going around! Can't sleep always peeing. Headaches. Just all the joys that will only get worse!! I have my glucose and a regular check up march 5.

I am so over winter. I can't wait to bitch about the heat from summer. It's snowing here again.. That's not stopping us from going to ihop to stuff my face though!!

I can't wait to go outside without my big bulky coat!! And maybe start on my garden.

25 weeks today! Baby is a cauliflower (the Dump comparisons are ridic.)

No appointments for 3 weeks. Symptoms are normal but annoying. Heartburn, lots of SPD and general pelvic pain. I'm usually so tired by the end of the day I have no problem sleeping, even when I have to pee, I go right back asleep.

This winter is really getting to me this year, I think I've dealing th some SADD. I could really use some time in the sun. Next weekend looks like it "might" have some mild sunny weather, and I'm just hoping it pans out. Here in the South I know Spring is just around the corner, I just need to hold on for a couple more weeks.

Week 25 - cauliflower

Don't have an appt for a couple weeks but I went to take my glucose test today. Really hope I passed because the 3 hour is horrible!!

Symptoms are pretty much the same as the last few weeks. Always tired, back and pelvic pain. Sad that I'm already feeling huge and we have more than 3 months to go!

QOTW: I am beyond over winter, like more than I usually am by this time of year. We've had the coldest and snowiest February in my city's 150 years of keeping records. It hasn't been above freezing since jan 29 and most days has been single digits or teens, with wind chills below 0.

I am just looking forward to sun, flip flops, and not being cold. Anything beyond that is just a bonus

ETA: woohoo I'm finally a member!!

24 weeks today (thanks insomnia!) a cantaloupe
A little trouble with sleeping, but otherwise feeling good.
No appts until 3/12
I'm so entirely over winter. We live in upstate ny on Lake Ontario so we get alllll of the lake effect and cold wind. I can't even anymore with it. I'm looking forward to being able to walk my dogs longer than 2 minutes for both their sake and mine. If I see one more windchill or lake effect snow alert I will cry.

24 weeks today, it's going so fast!

Regular appointment on Thursday, they'll give me my GD drink which I'll take for the following appointment (so NOT excited)

Symptoms - lots of peeing and I've started waking up in the middle of the night. Usually I fall back asleep quickly, but sometimes I don't. He's been moving around a lot, and kicking much harder, so that's good. My 2nd trimester energy is starting to wain, so I'm not very excited about that- I'm hoping that's just me being overworked and goes away soon.

I'm on the east coast with all the crazy snow, and I'm soooo over it along with the cold. Lucky me, it's snowing again right now.

24 weeks, cantaloupe.

Battling the MOTN sleep interruptions, and mega heartburn.

My GTT and 24w appt are this wed.

It averaged 18 deg in PGH in Feb. OMG no thank you. DS1 and I are heading to florida for 10 days on thursday. Take that, winter! (DH was supposed to come for a bit, but work got in the way at the last minute)

26 weeks, lettuce!

Baby boy is kicking up a storm day and night (which I love). Main symptoms are stiff back in the morning and almost not being able to paint my toes anymore.

So over the snow - in the midst of yet another winter storm warning. Hopefully this is the end of winter... Is 40 degrees to much to ask?!? I think I remember flip flips and maxi dresses... They are real right?

23 weeks!! Not sure of the fruit? Hmmm... Bump says grapefruit.

Symptoms: Feeling baby still mostly at night, not a big increase in movement. Still waiting for my linea nigra! Back pain is up and down. Still needing a lot of naps! Next appointment isn't for another two weeks.

QOTW: It's springlike weather now, so I have no complaints! I've started doing a little yardwork/gardening in prep! Not sure how the yard is going to fare this summer, LOL!

[ktbear]

mathistm where along Lake Ontario are you? I'm in the Buffalo/Niagara region. Love the area but hate the lake effect and wind chills this time of year! But hey, it got up to like 22 today so that's an improvement?

[ktbear]

bendherova I'm so jealous of your Florida trip! Have fun!

[mathistm]

ktbear we are at the southeast end of the lake. Right in the tug hill where we get dumped on!

Weeks 24...viability week! What a relief to hit this milestone. Cantaloupe is our fruit of the week.

Symptoms? Appointments? My regular check up is tomorrow...hoping I did better with my weight gain than last month! Been feeling ok, just uncomfortable from being short of breath, extra weight, inability to sleep. More energy than before though!

QOTW: How over winter are you? What are you looking forward to with spring, allegedly, right around the corner? SO over winter! It snowed again here today. Grr. Can't wait to drive with the windows down, ditch my winter ski coat, and break out my cute dresses!

24 weeks - a cantaloupe (the fruit/veggie comparisons are odd)

Just had an appt on Friday. Baby and I are doing great, doctor is very happy. Next appt is March 27. Symptom wise, I'm doing ok. Heartburn, a few leg cramps, and the nose bleeds are back (oh joy). We went for a nice dinner in SF on Friday night. I went to the bathroom between courses and had my nose start streaming as soon as I got in the bathroom - had to just sit there and wait for it to stop. Poor DH got worried. Fun times (might start bringing my phone to the bathroom...)

I'm in CA, so I would LOVE a winter. We barely got snow this year (we got 30 minutes of rain yesterday...that was nice). I know lots of you are beyond sick of winter, but we barely got it. I am looking forward to the sun bring up later - nothing like sitting on the patio after work, in the warm sun!
