How far along are you? 23w3d
Appointments coming up? Had one last week. Next is the 24th.
How are you feeling? Good. Some heartburn and waves of indigestion, but mostly feeling really good.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? On Friday, I was 22+6, and my uterus measured 25w, which I thought was interesting because people keep commenting about how small I look for how far along I am.
QOTW: What is your favorite summertime treat? Ice cream. I mean, that's not only for summer, but we've got a food/ice cream stand near our house that's only open in the summer, so going there is a treat.

Thanks for starting jj32! How far along are you? 20+4 Appointments coming up? Had one yesterday. Another US for Monday How are you feeling? Good. Baby is moving so much and I got meds for my heartburn. I'm having tons of Braxton Hicks contractions though. Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? OB checked my cervix yesterday to make sure my BH contractions aren't being productive. All good. It took forever to find his HB yet the whole time I was feeling him move lol. They just have a old Doppler I guess. I'm still measuring over a week ahead. QOTW: What is your favorite summertime treat? Ice cream

How far along are you? 21w2d
Appointments coming up? Not until the 26th
How are you feeling? Feeling good for the most part. I still have that SPD pain and will throughout pregnancy, it is making Pilates hard to do.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I am still really anxious for consistent movement. I do feel her randomly throughout the day but for some reason my pgal brain has gone nuts this pregnancy and daily I worry.
QOTW: What is your favorite summertime treat? I swear I am craving milkshakes like a mad woman. I typically don't have a sweet tooth

How far along are you? 21+3
Appointments coming up? Not until the end of the month.
How are you feeling? I'm still hanging in there, more or less. My rhinitis has been way worse than usual and I'm starting to lose that second tri energy. By about noon everyday I start to struggle to maintain any semblance of normal activity and require sitting a lot. I'm really struggling with picking things up off the floor too. I have to get all the way on my hands and knees. But in terms of aches and pains, very minimal still, so that's awesome. This kid is a serious mover too. I feel movement all day long. Even the tech at my AS made comments a few times about how this kid is going to give us a run for our money if the amount of movement indicates anything about her personality.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I'm having a nice, boring pregnancy! H was all like "huh, we don't have an ultrasound at every appointment? That's weird." Weird, but good.
QOTW: What is your favorite summertime treat? Fresh fruit! And lots of ice cream. I would say a cold hard lemonade in the sun, but obviously not this year.

How far along are you? 21w3d
Appointments coming up? Makena injections, and then follow up ultrasound with MFM on the 20th. They'll check my cervix and take a quick peek to make sure baby's heart isn't getting worse.
How are you feeling? Pretty good but really tired. Short of breath already when trying to walk around. I am also starting to get back pain at the end of the day but it is all manageable.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nothing since the VSD update. Hoping that is the last of our suprises.
QOTW: What is your favorite summertime treat? Give me all of the sangria. Stupid summer time pregnancy.

spacecadet Are you taking anything for the reflux? Protonix has been amazing for me. Just Zantac twice a day and tums throughout. They gave me a prescription a couple of months ago but I stopped taking it because it made me nervous (side effects, etc) I was also taking b6 and unisom every night and recently stopped but I think I will have to start it back up again because it is feeling worse during the day. I will look into Protonix.

How far along are you? 23w2d
Appointments coming up? 2 weeks today until my next midwife appt. I'm anxious for it as she will most likely start measuring my uterus now, and it's this time with DS we noticed that I was measuring 3/4 weeks ahead all the way up to delivery (measuring 46 weeks at birth 40+2)
How are you feeling? Bored of being stuck at home since I can't do anything on my own with DS because of my fainting episodes. I actually feel fine first time in a long while (but the fainting comes out of nowhere)
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nothing
QOTW: What is your favorite summertime treat? Ice cream and the couple of BBQ's we have

How far along are you? 23w 1d Appointments coming up? I had a Level II US on Friday, and both girls are measuring ahead. One has excess fluid, so the high risk doctor wants to see me this week and get my glucose test done. How are you feeling? Good for the most part. It's damn hot and humid here, so I try to stay inside. The girls move a lot, and I can tell which is which. Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Baby A (M) looks like her big brother already! QOTW: What is your favorite summertime treat? Margar--I mean, ice cream.

How far along are you? 23+3
Appointments coming up? I have to do my glucose test any time after Saturday, but I'm going to wait a bit (maybe 25-26 weeks) to see what happens with my BP in case my OB wants to add any tests to my req. Don't want to go twice if I don't have to.
How are you feeling? Good, overall! I still mostly don't "feel" pregnant. Bodies are weird. I haven't really had much swelling since Saturday, so I'm hoping it was just roller derby that did me in. Heartburn, especially late at night, but it's manageable for now. Slightly less exhausted.
BP still 120/80 consistently though, so boo.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nothing. My last appointment was super quick and boring.
QOTW: What is your favorite summertime treat? Ice cream. Always. Bonus points if I can find chocolate soft serve anywhere because that is my absolute favourite.

How far along are you? 23 weeks today Appointments coming up? end of the month How are you feeling? Good still. Random weird things here or there: numb spot at the top of my belly by my ribs/boobs, sometimes can hear blood rushing through my ears, bloody nose everytime I blow. Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope QOTW: What is your favorite summertime treat? I have been pretty into ice cream this year! I guess it's taken over for the usual summer drinks

How far along are you? 22w 5d (and I literally had to open the Ovia app because I keep losing track)
Appointments coming up? I have an appointment on Thursday
How are you feeling? I'm feeling pretty good for the most part. I seem to be getting a migraine about once a week and my energy levels are definitely decreasing but my heartburn seems to be in check so far (it was so awful last pregnancy). It's nice to feel the baby moving pretty regularly (she definitely doesn't like it when DD leans on my belly).
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nothing - I feel like I haven't been to the dr in a while.
QOTW: What is your favorite summertime treat? Another fan of ice cream but since that's an all year thing. I'll go with hot dogs.

cnf I was just telling my friend today that I can tell I’m nearing the end of the second trimester because of my energy levels – I’m falling asleep super early and struggling to get out of bed in the morning. But yay for boring pregnancies! spacecadet oh reflux is the worst. I’m sorry. roloma I have a bottle of my favorite pinot grigio in my wine rack and every time I see it, I flip it off for taunting me. And one glass won’t cut it so I’m not even going to crack that baby open snuff9861 Me too – ice cream all year round!!!! grumpycat I have been all about the lemonade this pregnancy. beefinch I’m glad you are feeling better but the fainting really blows – I’m sorry paperbagliz Good luck on your glucose test!

peggels24, I've got a bottle of a red blend that I love waiting for me in my wine rack. I may pour myself a glass as soon as we're home from the hospital.

How far along are you? 23+4
Appointments coming up? Next week
How are you feeling? Mostly good.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Not really. Anatomy scan results came back good. The tech mentioned baby is breech but I'm pretty sure she still has plenty of time to turn.
QOTW: What is your favorite summertime treat? Definitely ice cream. My H made milkshakes last night.. I think I'll keep him!

bubbles breech baby here too! I'm hoping baby turns. I know there's plenty on time though At my a/s, the dr described my baby as breech-ish too. I just thought, "I'm 18 weeks. Does that really matter yet?" Funny that so many of us had it mentioned to us.

I wouldn't worry much yet.

How far along are you? 21w3d
Appointments coming up? A/S, shot, and OB check-in Thursday!

Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope
QOTW: What is your favorite summertime treat? S'Mores with burnt marshmallows.
Ice Cream is good, but any cravings I have for it are satisfied after a bite or two.

peggels24 for some odd reason my H has really been into making fancy, craft cocktails recently. I give him shit for taunting me basically every day. 3-4ish more months and I am going to enjoy wine like never before

I tend to be higher when I first walk in (white coat syndrome) but I was happy with that number.

How far along are you? 22+4
Appointments coming up? Yes, tomorrow afternoon! Not till 4 pm. My regular OB had to cancel so this is one of her colleagues.
How are you feeling? Not bad! Heartburn is off and on, but Zantac is working well. I have a good amount of energy; I want to do ALL the things to prepare! Which I guess is good! But then I regret moving so much after I do the things.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Won't know until tomorrow. Except one of my other BMB friends is sending me her doppler since she is done with it- excited about that! I've never used one at home.
QOTW: What is your favorite summertime treat? Ice cream! I am a year round ice cream lover. it is my fave treat in general. Wendys frosties have been sounding the best, but they require a drive which I am usually far too lazy to do.
