How far along are you? 22w 1d
How big is baby? Spaghetti squash
Any upcoming appointments this week? This Thursday
Any new symptoms or changes? So much gas!! I had almost no gas with N. The complete opposite this time.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I just sold N's nursery bedding on an online yard sale and I have so many sads about it. My husband wanted to use the same for this baby, but I decided that since he will already have so much hand me downs he should at least get his own room. I know a lot of people say don't bother with the cute crib bedding but I'm still doing it.
Random: What is your favorite holiday? I love Christmas. I love everything about it. I can't wait to have a new squish to snuggle with this Christmas even though I won't be able to do as much of the fun Christmas stuff with N that I try to do (making Christmas cookies, doing a Christmas train, etc..)

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? My parents are coming this weekend to help get baby boy's room ready. E is getting her Mickey Bed in her room!

How far along are you?: 20w4d How big is baby?: Mango (WTE) / Paper airplane (Ovia) Any upcoming appointments this week?: Nope! Not until my glucose test at the end of the month. Any new symptoms or changes?: Nothing really. H is saying I'm starting to show, though. I think I'm feeling kicks more regularly now, but it's all inside flutters, nothing external. Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I did wind up getting a Boppy wedge over the weekend and started sleeping better almost immediately. Also minor AW, it's my birthday tomorrow  Random: What is your favorite holiday?: Toss up between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I agree with kensie5226 , Thanksgiving food is the BEST. Mashed potatoes for DAYS. |

How far along are you? 19 weeks
How big is baby? Babies are 8.5oz and 6" long each.
Any upcoming appointments this week? Not for another 2.5 weeks
Any new symptoms or changes? My OB recommended Pepcid for my reflux and it has done wonders. It was so horrible last week! And the snoogle has really helped me sleep better and I haven't been having as much tailbone pain, yay!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I got those dresses in that I ordered from Pink Blush. The one I had posted here isn't flattering on me at all, but I did like the rest, I just need my bump to get bigger the next few weeks to fill them out better. I'm sure that won't be a problem.
Random: What is your favorite holiday? Christmas. I absolutely love decorating and the smell of fresh Christmas trees. I wish Santa was real. I'm excited to be on maternity leave all of December. I just hope my babies aren't in the NICU.

cakewench Happy early birthday! Any celebration plans? Honestly July was such a blur I kept forgetting it was even coming. At this point I just want to stay in, watch some DVR with H, and maybe splurge and let myself have Chinese food (I can't get a solid read on how safe it is so I've just been avoiding it). I might see if some friends might be up for an escape room this weekend, though. |

How far along are you? 22 w, 4 d
How big is baby? I never know this. A quick Google tells me coconut.
Any upcoming appointments this week? Nothing for a couple of weeks
Any new symptoms or changes? Heartburn has kicked in, especially at night.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I'm starting to have trouble sleeping, which I didn't experience with my first, so I may have to look into getting some kind of sleep pillow/ snoggle. Sigh.
Random: What is your favorite holiday? My family always does big 4th of July parties, which are a lot of fun. I love Christmas, too, but all of the shopping and winter travel gets stressful. I think I'm going to opt out of almost everything this year, and use baby as an excuse.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ditto. I've never heard of Chinese food being off limits during pregnancy. I also don't really restrict myself from anything while pregnant, especially this second time around. Neither of my OBs have stressed eliminating anything specific, just more about moderation and being more careful food safety-wise. |

BlahBlahGinger and belle0720 - my concern is mostly related to the MSG. My sodium levels weren't super great going in, and being overweight on top of it, most websites I've looked at say to either avoid it or make your own at home. But I figure once can't hurt too bad, right? It's not like I'm getting sushi, I just want some noodles and maybe a spring roll  Also this info comes from Dr. Google, so...

cakewench, honestly I never would have thought of that. I've definitely eaten plenty of Chinese food (MH is Chinese-American). Enjoy the food and happy early birthday!

How far along are you? 22w
How big is baby? 1/2 dozen bagels (Nu-uh. Mini-bagels, maybe?)
Any upcoming appointments this week? Nope.
Any new symptoms or changes? Feeling great during the day! But...
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? ...this HIP pain at night, guys. It's excruciating! I will wake up and my bottom hip will absolutely sizzle for 5 minutes or so until I can re-position. I've tried everything - different Snoogle positions, no Snoogle, pillows, no pillows... At this point I'm just accepting that every night will include a few minutes of cursing/crying.
Random: What is your favorite holiday? Christmas.

cakewench I've taken the "everything in moderation" approach this time around, so I say go for it! The only food I've avoided with both pregnancies is high mercury fish (it's the one thing my OB mentioned). With DS, I also avoided things like lunch meat and hot dogs, but I've been a lot more relaxed this time. Sorry, second baby! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

H won't be home until late Friday so there will be plenty of laundry and DVR in there to catch up too. I will be eating all the cake. |

ldubhawksfan, we're working on getting E (2 years old) to "get it" too. The other day we felt the baby kick and my H told E to come over and say hi to his brother. E came RUNNING over, got his face right up to my belly and shouted "Hello in derrrrrrrrrrr!" I about died.
