2. Symptoms: So tired lately and I don't know why! Also, generally feeling sore all over by the evenings.

3. Upcoming appts: OB on 3/1 and I finally got my follow up A/S scheduled for 3/3

4. Rants/raves/anything you want to share: I have been surprised at how much more this pregnancy is already wearing me down. I am so sore and exhausted by bedtime! This LO is sitting so much lower than DS did that I worry for how that will affect my comfort in the coming weeks. But her movements are stronger everyday and I love it!!

5. Gtky: What is the last movie you saw (in theaters or at home). Any upcoming movies you are looking forward to? We re-watched Ant Man this weekend and I could not stay awake for the last hour. I think the last movie we saw in theaters was Spectre back at Thanksgiving time. I also know there are a few we are looking forward to, but who knows how many of them we will realistically have time to go see.

2. Symptoms: Pretty sure there is a soccer player in my ute with all the kicking. Tired like whoa.

4. Rants/raves/anything you want to share: I fell yesterday in my bathroom. I had to pee really bad and was racing to the toilet. I didn't see my bathroom rug was kind of curled and my toe got caught on it so I went flying forward and rammed my chest/boobs into the side of my tub. OMG it hurt so bad. Of course, MH ran in after hearing the crash and helped me up. After making sure I was okay, he began to worry about baby, but I assured him my belly didn't even touch the floor or tub and that my poor boobies took the brunt force. I feel fine today, thankfully! I was expecting a black and blue boob.

We are going to find out at the party with everyone else!! We'll be going right from our u/s to drop off the sealed envelope at the bakery that's doing the cake for us so it will only be in my possession for about 45 minutes max haha. Its going to be a longgggg 4 days! I've had major girl vibes from the beginning, before I even had symptoms. Most of the old wives tales point to girl, also (carrying high and wide... acne like WHOA... craving sweets). The only one that pointed towards boy really was that I didn't have m/s, but my mom wasn't sick at all for my sister or me so I don't count that anyway. I can't wait to find out!!!

[lovegrilledcheese]

1. How many weeks? 20w1d!

3. Upcoming appts: feb 29 I have an OB appointment and will get my anatomy scan results.

4. Rants/raves/anything you want to share: I'm still bitter about my a/s scan and I'm getting anxious about the results. You would think if there was a prob the OB would call asap. Ugggg I hate the waiting game.

5. Gtky: What is the last movie you saw (in theaters or at home). Any upcoming movies you are looking forward to?

We saw The Big Short and it was pretty good. Not sure what movies are coming out soon so not sure.

[beebe918]

5. Gtky: What is the last movie you saw (in theaters or at home). Any upcoming movies you are looking forward to? I watched The Martian over the weekend but I wasn't really paying attention, it was pretty good from what I saw. I just got the book from the library. I had wanted to read the book first but the waitlist was too long.

[acorn99]

Ray, glad i am not the only one dealing with the weird swollen-ness. I was shaving this weekend and very confused by what was going on.
powerofbacon, that is so sweet about you H talking to your belly!

[mcktymck]

tikoberry99 I have the same hip soreness when I sleep as well! I found that with a combo of the Snoogle pillow and a couple others strategically placed, my hips don't bug me AS much during the night. They still bug me, but it's a lot more bearable Are you using any sort of pillow?


1. How many weeks? 18 weeks 5 days

2. Symptoms: stuffy nose (especially in the morning), bad heartburn/indigestion/acid reflux/a combo of all them hits every now and then around bedtime, especially if I had a bowl of ice cream for dessert. Also RLP, lots of peeing, and really weird dreams. It's getting to the point where my dreams are making me uncomfortable with the people who are in them and the things they're about.

3. Upcoming appts: March 1st is the AS! Ahhh, so close.

4. Rants/raves/anything you want to share: I'm getting so tired of my mom's negativity. She constantly judges me wanting to have a natural birth and wanting to use cloth diapers, so anytime I mention something aching or hurting she makes a rude comment. This weekend I had told her that my boobs have been killing me ever since the very beginning and she goes "Oh you just wait. Wait until you're pushing a baby out" and then "wait until your milk comes in!" It sucks feeling like I can't go to my mom to talk about the aches and pains of this pregnancy, because she's just going to rub it in my face and make it seem like I won't be able to go through labor without pain medicine if I'm already hurting.

5. Gtky: What is the last movie you saw (in theaters or at home). Any upcoming movies you are looking forward to?
We went and saw Deadpool last week and really enjoyed it!

[tikoberry99]

mcktymck,I'm looking into the snoogle. I have a crappy decorate pillow between my legs at this point and might try a regular sized pillow. My DH thought the snoogle was ridiculous I told him to STFU b/c I might need it soon!

I got so desperate a couple weeks ago (even with the Snoogle), so I started Googling tips or ideas to help with the hip pain and found one that has helped immensely. When you sleep with a pillow between your legs, put another one under the knee of the side you're sleeping on. The hip I'm sleeping on will still act up after a while, but it takes longer to get to that point than it was before I tried the pillow underneath.

[willow]

1. How many weeks? 18 weeks today

2. Symptoms: RLP pretty much every day. Frequent peeing. Crazy vivid dreams. I've got my sweet tooth back which was gone all first tri.

3. Upcoming appts: March 15

4. Rants/raves/anything you want to share: I started my registries over the weekend and I'm so overwhelmed already. So much stuff.

5. Gtky: What is the last movie you saw (in theaters or at home). Any upcoming movies you are looking forward to?:

Last one in theaters was Brooklyn. Last one at home was The Danish Girl. I love the Oscars so I have a goal of seeing all the movies up for the major awards. I have a week left and I only need to see two more movies so I think I'll do it!

[willow]

Oh I also heavily endorse the snoogle. I wouldn't be able to sleep for long stretches (you know, in between pee breaks, ha) without it!

I'm totally trying this tonight!!! Thanks for the tip!

[mugster]

tikoberry99, my hip started hurting badly AFTER I bought the snoogle. When I ditched it and went back to sleeping with no pillow in between my legs, my hip pain went away. I think it is because I roll back and forth more often that way.

Good to know! I think I'm going to try more pillows. I end up on my back and my hips thank me, but I freak out lol.

[katelou]

mcktymck I HATE those people! Some of them never get better either. You complain about a newborn, and they're like "just wait till toddlerhood!" Said your toddler is stressing you out, and they're like "that's nothing, just wait til they're in middle school!" Ugh that makes me so mad.

[mugster]

1. How many weeks? 20

2. Symptoms: Last week's UTI has become this week's irritated vulva? I don't know if it is a yeast infection or just general unhappiness down there but it is annoying. I got swabbed today and yelped in pain when she touched me. I have no idea why it hurt that bad.

3. Upcoming appts: anatomy scan was today. All was great.

4. Rants/raves/anything you want to share: I think I might want to switch OB practices. I'm not thrilled by their billing policies, i.e. they want me to pre-pay for delivery, and it just feels like a huge factory. I don't know.

5. Gtky: What is the last movie you saw (in theaters or at home). Any upcoming movies you are looking forward to? Deadpool. It was funny.
