1. How far are you now? 18 weeks + 2. How big is baby? A sweet potato. That seems pretty big. 3. Team? pink! 4. Symptoms: achy hips and insomnia. 5. What and when is your next appointment? They're supposed to call me to schedule my anatomy scan in early February. It's not as exciting since we already did the harmony screening. 6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? Not really. I'm tired and sore and pretty over it but I still have 4857578 weeks to go. 7. QOTW: Are you planning to use a wrap/carrier? If so, recommend your favorites. We used a Boba when C was little but he was born at 9lbs and became too heavy for that (for our comfort) within a month or so and then we used the original Ergo forever. I think I'm going to get a free to grow Tula for this summer baby but I'm also looking for recommendations. 8. Show off your bump! Complete with photo bombers this week.  |

1. How far are you now? 25w 5d 2. How big is baby? Baseball Glove 3. Team? Blue 4. Symptoms: Headaches, backaches, dizziness, gassy 5. What and when is your next appointment? GTT in a week or two, then 28 week checkup midFeb 6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? I have some sort of bug right now that feels like a mild flu. A kicking baby severely exacerbates stomach and intestinal issues. 7. QOTW: Are you planning to use a wrap/carrier? If so, recommend your favorites. I have a lillebaby that I love and will use again. I also plan to order a mesh water-friendly wrap to balance water stuff with V over the summer. 8. Show off your bump! ETA:  [\spoiler] |

1. How far are you now?
20w 3d
2. How big is baby?
rubix cube
3. Team?
we stayed green! (right before the a/s i was wavering on whether or not to find out)
4. Symptoms:
heartburn, shitty sleep
5. What and when is your next appointment?
next appt will be 2/20
6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants?
we had out a/s yesterday and everything looks perfect! We weren't able to get a good profile picture (baby wasn't cooperating enough for that), but i did get a really cute photo of his/her feet!
7. QOTW: Are you planning to use a wrap/carrier? If so, recommend your favorites.
I'm going to be stalking these answers. I had a Moby ( I couldn't get comfortable wrapping all that fabric and didn't feel secure enough to not hold DD while she was in the wrap) & a K'Tan (I wasn't a fan of this one either). I want something that DH and I can both use that is a bit more structured than just a fabric wrap.

1. How far are you now? 23+3 2. How big is baby? Barbie doll 3. Team? Pink 4. Symptoms: nausea/dry heaving (stiiiill), carpal tunnel is back, swelling feet by the end of the work day, sore hips 5. What and when is your next appointment? Follow up A/S on Tuesday. 6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? As much as I'm pretending to be breezy about the A/S next week, I'm not really. I don't know what happens if she still has the cyst when she's born. Just praying it's gone and they're able to get all the measurements she was stubborn about last time. 7. QOTW: Are you planning to use a wrap/carrier? If so, recommend your favorites. I registered for a KTan. I have an Ergo 360 but couldn't use it until my c/s healed more. I want something more fabricy to try this time. 8. Show off your bump! |

I just realized that my anatomy scan is scheduled for 10 am, which is usually when baby is starting to wake up and move a lot. Methinks I'll be going for a follow up!

I just realized that my anatomy scan is scheduled for 10 am, which is usually when baby is starting to wake up and move a lot. Methinks I'll be going for a follow up! It depends. My guy didn’t stop moving at all during my A/S, but they were able to capture everything. I think sometimes movement is actually better because they can get baby into all of the positions they need to see everything. |

1. How far are you now? 26 weeks 2. How big is baby? 3. Team? Pink 4. Symptoms: back pain, gas/constipation, lack of sleep, reflux 5. What and when is your next appointment? End of next week for glucose test then regular prenatal 6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? I finally broke down and took miralax. It’s somewhat helping but I’m still having issues. 7. QOTW: Are you planning to use a wrap/carrier? If so, recommend your favorites. I have a solly wrap from DS and I’ve registered for a Tula. DS hated to be worn but this baby has no choice. 8. Show off your bump! Comparison pic from when I was pregnant with DS at 26 weeks. I’m about 3lbs or so less at this point, which is good. I gained almost 50lbs with DS.  |

1. How far are you now? 24 weeks 2. How big is baby? Cantaloupe (which we call Rockmellon) 3. Team? Pink 4. Symptoms: Raging heartburn that comes on suddenly and is so strong I can’t stand up straight. Going to have to get something for it. 5. What and when is your next appointment? Next week check up and to schedule glucose test. 6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? This week I’m a whinger again. DD is having an episode of sleep regression meaning my normally excellent sleeper takes over an hour to get to bed then is up for an hour during the early morning. My dog has pancreatitis so we’ve been at the vet twice and he’s been admitted for scans and drugs which are costing a complete fortune. Tomorrow is a public holiday. We planned to go to the beach but I don’t know if we can go because of the dog. DD was sick on Monday so I had to take the day off work. Today I had to work from home because of the dog. I’ll be out for a few hours for the OB next week too, so my boss will be unimpressed. Basically I’m having a pity party over here. But look at him. How could I say no to the vet bills?  7. QOTW: Are you planning to use a wrap/carrier? If so, recommend your favorites. I’ll use my ergo 360 again. I didn’t use it for about 4 months with DD but I think I’ll try it earlier this time. I liked it and used it til she was almost 2 and got too heavy. 8. Show off your bump! |

1. How far are you now? 21 weeks 1 day 2. How big is baby? A baseball cap 3. Team? Pink! 4. Symptoms: sleeping is becoming difficult, shortness of breath, eating like a crazy person 5. What and when is your next appointment? Next appt is 2/21, regular OB appt. anatomy scan was today! 6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? Today at my anatomy scan, found I have a mild case of placenta previa. Will have it checked around 30 weeks and if it's not corrected itself, I will probably have to have a c section. I don't want a c-section so I'm hoping my placenta gets its shit together. Other than that, a healthy one pound baby girl! 7. QOTW: Are you planning to use a wrap/carrier? If so, recommend your favorites. Last time I had some knock off brand. I'd like to get an ergo this time 8. Show off your bump!  |

leo91 I had a mild case of placenta previa with my last one and an insane percentage of these cases correct themselves. Mine cleared up and I was happy to have an excuse to have another ultrasound. Try not to worry at all.

1. How far are you now? 22w
2. How big is baby? A water bottle
3. Team? Pink
4. Symptoms: So much hip pain. Exhausted. Cranky.
5. What and when is your next appointment? 2/6 for a normal MW visit
6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? My toddler is really annoying me these days. I feel bad and mostly do not show it but it is bad.
7. QOTW: Are you planning to use a wrap/carrier? If so, recommend your favorites.
I have a K’tan that I loved in the tiny stage last time and will probably use for the first couple months. Then I got a FTG Tula. I only had a standard and no insert last time. And an insert would be way too warm for a summer baby. I’m so excited to use my new Tula. Then when she’s big enough we can use either Tula.

2. How big is baby? A gameboy
3. Team? Blue
4. Symptoms: RLP, carpal tunnel at night while sleeping, heartburn
5. What and when is your next appointment? 02/05 for A/S & 02/08 for my next OB appt

7. QOTW: Are you planning to use a wrap/carrier? If so, recommend your favorites. I didn’t use one with DS1 but I am thinking I will need one with DS2 hence the question. I know nothing about them and want to get one that will be easy to use. The ones that you have to wrap yourself scare me. Lol

4. Symptoms: N/V, insomnia, rash, heartburn with fried foods :cries:

6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? Did I mention terrible heartburn with fried food? And I just discovered I can get fried tempura vegetable rolls at a local place
7. QOTW: Are you planning to use a wrap/carrier? If so, recommend your favorites. I hated the Moby, but I'll try it again. An Ergo. I loved my Mei Tai for when he's bigger. Kind of want to get a Tula and Baby K'tan.
8. Show off your bump! I'll have to take a picture next week. I've been feeling frumpy and not picture-worthy lately.

1. 23 + 2
2. Baby is as big as a papaya.
3. Boy!
4. I feel pretty good, actually. Lots of kicks!
5. Next appointment in 3 weeks with GTT.
6. Last week I received the 2nd part of my sequential screen and was told I was high risk for trisomy 21. I had the NIPT done and just heard back on Tuesday that it was negative. That was the longest and most stressful week of my life. We are painting the nursery this weekend!
7. I looooved my boba wrap with DD. I ordered a new (not purple) one for this LO and I can’t wait to wear him. I also have a Tula, a boba 4g and an ergo 360. I loved the boba and the Tula once DD got bigger. MH used the ergo. If I could go back I would just get the wrap and the Tula.
Pic soon!

1. How far are you now? 21w 2. How big is baby? Baseball cap 3. Team? Pink ! 4. Symptoms: I have a bad cold, along with completely blocked sinus on the left side so I did not sleep last night because of the pain. It has been almost a week, I should probably go to the Dr.. Baby has been kicking stronger so H and DD1 should be able to feel her soon 🤗 5. What and when is your next appointment? Saw my OB on Monday, all looks fine. Same for our anatomy scan we had on Thursday last week. 6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? I have been taking Sudafed PE since Monday and realized I was supposed to take the regular Sudafed as PE is not safe during pregnancy. So I feel awful about that, but too late now 😕 7. QOTW: Are you planning to use a wrap/carrier? If so, recommend your favorites. I used a wrap and the boba 4g, I liked both but the wrap is a pain to attach and tighten. 8. Show off your bump! |

. How far are you now? - 19+4 2. How big is baby? - gameboy 3. Team? - blue 4. Symptoms: N/V, heartburn, baby kicks 5. What and when is your next appointment? - Monday, regular check. The MFM visit last week took the place of my A/S 6. We close on our house mid February. Can’t wait to decide paint color, nursery theme, etc. Last time we said beach for a boy and Super Mario Bro for a girl, and ended up with boy and beach. Unsure what to do for this one, but DH isn’t already talking up Super Mario Bro so maybe it won’t be that  7. QOTW: Are you planning to use a wrap/carrier? If so, recommend your favorites. - I’m all about babywearing. To start I’ll use woven wraps, ktan, and I’ll try the ring sling. Everyone loves ring slings for newborns but I really didn’t last time. I’ve also got an ergo360 but I wouldn’t use that til 4+ mo cause the infant insert sucks. Maybe I’ll ask for a Soul Slings Anoona for my birthday. Bump ((poof)) |

2. How big is baby? A guinea pig
3. Team? Pink
4. Symptoms: just general tiredness and crankiness
5. What and when is your next appointment? 2/15 Follow up ultrasound and midwife appt
6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? DD has her first daycare 'concert' tomorrow night. I'm excited for all the cuteness!
7. QOTW: Are you planning to use a wrap/carrier? If so, recommend your favorites.
I used a Boba wrap last time for the first few months. And then I got a Tula. I'd like to get a Tula FTG for this one as I think babywearing will be essential with a toddler and it'll be too hot with an insert in the Tula.
