Waffle As in Greece?? I'm SO jealous!! I'm holding out hope that we can do a Greece & Italy trip next year before I go back to work! We did Greece (not Rhodes) and Italy years ago and it was great. We would love to go back to Greece! |

How far along are you? 21 weeks today
How big is baby? Baseball hat or banana depending on the app. My ultrasound last week said 11 oz
Any upcoming appointments this week? Nothing until the 14th
Any new symptoms or changes? I am just so tired. I'm also starting to get out of breath more easily.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Really wishing this baby would start moving more. I can go days without feeling anything. This is my 3rd. I should be feeling everything by now. Doctor said she doesn't really get concerned and wants counts at 24 weeks. I am just frustrated by lack of movement.
Random: Are you taking a babymoon (aka going on vacation before baby gets here)? Most likely not. Might go to another town and stay at a fancy hotel with a nice waterpark but otherwise - nope.

ldubhawksfan Where in Greece did you go? Cruises don't usually appeal to me but I'm wondering if a Greek Island cruise would be fun or if it's more worthwhile to pick one island to explore for a few days. My H and I did Northern Italy 3 years ago but him and his parents are always talking about us going to visit his mom's hometown in Southern Italy (where they have a house still) so we know for sure we'll want to go there for a couple of days and then explore the Amalfi Coast. H and his family obviously know a lot about the area so that's easier to plan, I don't know a whole lot about Greece though!

How far along are you? 19w4d
How big is baby? Game boy I guess?
Any upcoming appointments this week? AS next week
Any new symptoms or changes? Not really
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I think we are going to start telling more ppl
Random: Are you taking a babymoon (aka going on vacation before baby gets here? I don't know. May try a somewhat local trip since we haven't really left DD more than one overnight. We did Hawaii before, but it doesn't sound relaxing with DD and would be really expensive. We might do San Fran this fall as a family though

We did a few days in Athens then Mykonos (was supposed to be one night but seas wouldn't allow for our ferry so we were stuck on the island for 3 days) and Santorini (we were supposed to be there longer than the 1.5 days which was a bummer). I loved the islands!!! Beautiful and great snorkeling! We did Cinque Terre in Italy which was really neat along with the typical Rome and Florence. |

Waffle Ah yeah, much farther for us in California so Europe wasn't on the table when we decided on a vacation. I really hope these twins are calm babies so that we feel like we can handle traveling with them next summer though! I took my daughter to Paris and London before I went to back to work when she was 5 months, but she was always a super easy baby! Three sounds daunting, but I'm hopeful that our traveling days aren't over.

jrun2013 kensie5226, I love my snoogle! A body pillow is all I need for the first tri, but I sleep so much better with my snoogle in 2nd and 3rd. Until late in the 3rd trimester when sleep just doesn't happen anyway. belle0720, I'm highly susceptible to food suggestions lately - a book I was reading mentioned macaroni salad, so I sent my H to pick up Hawaiian food that night for dinner. Just now I'm entering a grocery list for my boss's vacation and his wife emailed me to add doritos...and suddenly I had to eat some of them myself. It's a little strange.

cakewench, some daycares around here have waitlists full of people planning to become pregnant. It's a bit over the top. Also, sorry your MIL won't be able to make it for the shower

We would love to go back to Greece! We did Greece and Italy (and Spain) as our big trip before starting a family. It was lovely! |

How big is baby? Mango
Any upcoming appointments this week? AS tomorrow
Any new symptoms or changes? Just more soreness in the hip and pelvic area. I have to give myself time to transition my weight when going from sitting or laying to standing before I trust that my body will hold me up.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? None this week!
Random: Are you taking a babymoon (aka going on vacation before baby gets here? Nope. We did Costa Rica when I was pregnant with our DD, which was great. Only plans this time around are a weekend trip to San diego for her 2nd birthday.

Do you use it with the thick part under your head, the long part around your back and he curved part between your legs? I need to be able to roll around! |

Snip How do you use the snoggle? Do you use it with the thick part under your head, the long part around your back and he curved part between your legs? I need to be able to roll around! I switch sides often...when I'm on my right, the long part is behind me, with the more tightly stitched curved part between my knees and under my belly and my head on the looser end of the curve. When I flip over to my left, I just put the long part between my knees and turn the curved part so it's hanging off the bed and move my head onto my regular pillow, if that makes sense? Rinse and repeat all night long. I prefer my normal pillow for my neck (I like the firmness), but there's really no way I've found to make that work unless I'm facing the long part of the pillow. I just grabbed some random pics from online - basically this  And this (although I twist the top end of mine away from me)  |

sizzleb thanks! I've tried many times, many ways, but give up quickly. Then I wake up sore in the morning. I like the idea about putting the head part away from you.

jrun2013 Just got my snoogle yesterday, it helped me sleep so much better last night! I used the curved part at my head and the long part between my knees. I had a bumpnest with my daughter but it got super worn out so I figured I'd try something cheaper this time, hopefully it keeps doing the job!

What size beds do you have? I feel like the snoogle might be too much in our queen (though lately H has had some personal space issues during sleep - give the pregnant lady some room!), so I've been considering a wedge to start, since I'm not showing that much but it's starting to get uncomfortable when I inevitably roll onto my stomach...

I have used just a wedge for all three of my pregnancies and then as I need it just a regular pillow in between my legs. |

We're going to BuyBuyBaby this weekend to show H the crib I'm leaning towards, so I will probably pick one up then. I've been using a regular pillow in the mean time and it's OK but a little too much. Did you use any particular brand or are they all pretty much the same? |

cakewench the one I have is the boppy one. It's lasted both the last one and has held up pretty good this time. I'm sure they are pretty much all the same though Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
