How far along are you? 28w RCS scheduled 12/28
How big is baby? Rollerblade or Eggplant
Symptoms/rants/raves: I'm exhausted. Between my pregnancy insomnia and DD not sleeping, I can't catch up on sleep these days.
Appointments or milesontes? GD test and OB appointment on Thursday. I'm now in 3rd Tri!
GTKY: Are you having a shower or sprinkle? I threw two sprinkles last summer for friends and one of those ladies is throwing one for me in November! Most of my friends live in various parts of the state so it will be fun to all get together!

25w 3d
Cauliflower
By the evening I feel like I'm 8 months along, waddling and groaning through the house.
I still need to schedule my glucose test! Whoops.
GTKY: Are you having a shower or sprinkle?
Nah, it's not common to have a shower (or sprinkle) for second kids around here.

25+5
A prairie dog
Symptoms/rants/raves- heartburn is increasing. Pelvic pain is almost unbearable if I do too much or walk too much. Also getting more nervous for my RCS
Appointments or milestones: nothing out of the ordinary
GTKY: I have been told my SIL and sister are planning a shower for me. I'm cool with a sprinkle type deal but who knows what it will be like

How far along are you? 24+2
How big is baby? Ear of corn?
Symptoms/rants/raves: Heartburn is starting to get worse. My hips are starting to hurt quite a bit, especially when on my feet all day (which is common with my job)
Appointments or milestones? OB appointment on the 20th At my anatomy scan a few weeks ago, the nuchleal fold measured large. So last week I was sent to a hospital in a larger city tohave another ultrasound and meet with a specialist and a genetic counsellor. It was extremely stressful but everything turned out fine! The specialist basically told me she thought the original tech didn't do the measurement correctly because the new photos showed everything to be right on track. I feel like she thinks the ultrasound techs in my city aren't great, so I have to go back at the end of October to check some other thing like the baby's stomach size. The specialist just wants to be extra thorough.
GTKY: Are you having a shower or sprinkle? 1st baby so I'm having a shower. A good friend is throwing me a small one at the beginning of December for my friends. At most there will be 8 people. Then after the baby is born, my sister in laws are throwing one for family. This is pretty common in my family but the SILs keep telling me it's a bad idea, I'll only get clothes and I shouldn't let my mom pressure me into doing it after. They are making it super awkward.... I don't know the sex of the baby so I'm not buying a bunch of clothes before anyways. I don't even know if I'm going to register, give me all the clothes, stuffed animals, blankets, etc. I don't care! If I still need or want things afterwards, I have no problem going out and buying it.
Sorry, this is a super rambling check in!

How far along are you? 26 weeks How big is baby? Bowling pin Symptoms/rants/raves: Things would be going fairly well if it wasn't for my annoying throat. Definitely starting to feel top heavy though. Appointments or milesontes I had a follow up ultrasound today to check on my placenta placement. Baby is measuring an estimated 2lbs 3oz/70th percentile ☺ I also need to go get my glucose test done, I've been waiting until I was feeling better but I might just suck it up and go in later this week. Early next week for sure, as I need it done before my 28 week appt. GTKY:Are you having a shower or sprinkle? No. One of my BFFs texted me the other day though and said if there's anything fun or relaxing I want to do before baby is here she'd love to plan something with a few of our girlfriends. So Ive put my thinking cap on she said even just a hangout at home day or something she'd make it happen.

How far along are you? 20 weeks + 3 days How big is baby? A melon or endive. Symptoms/rants/raves: I feel like I'm starting to sound like a broken record. Still some nausea, heartburn is increasing quite dramatically, and I've had to start using a maternity support belt when I know I'm going to be walking around for an hour+. Appointments or milesontes? I mentioned it in the randoms thread already, but we found out on Friday that we are having a baby boy I have a standard check in appointment at the OB tomorrow. GTKY: Are you having a shower or sprinkle? I will be having a sprinkle. I tried to politely decline because we already have most of the big things, but my mom REALLY wants to throw one. We will probably make it a casual BBQ style thing.

How far along are you? 21+2
How big is baby? Endive
Symptoms/rants/raves: Same old same old- headaches and lots of tailbone pain!
Appointments or milesontes? We had our A/S yesterday and all looked good. So relieved. It was so fun to see baby boy wiggling so much on screen! I also started feeling a lot of real movement yesterday. I had been feeling flutters for a few weeks, but yesterday was the first time that it felt like "Wow, that was baby!"
GTKY: Are you having a shower or sprinkle? Yes, we will have one for my side of the family thrown by my mom, and one for DH's side thrown by his mom. I don't know any details except the dates though!

How far along? 24w2d
How big? Not sure of an object comparison but at my u/s yesterday estimated 1.6 pounds.
Symptoms? Feeling bigger all over, some dizzy spells this weekend that went away with a much needed nap, back and tailbone pain.
Appointments? I had a u/s yesterday at MFM to check my cervical length bc I made it a thing and my OB indulged me. I’m so glad I went bc my cervix looked great and one of the Peri’s there is the nicest dr. I was lucky enough to get him and he said since I was there, they’d take a look at everything. I basically got a follow up A/S 4 weeks after the first one. It’s just a random interval but it was so reassuring to see that everything is still right on track. He’s such a nice Doctor. If they could all be so patient and kind!
Shower or Sprinkle? No. I don’t want anything. We have too much stuff. I'm not against Sprinkles butnot for me.

23w 4d
Papaya
Lower back pain, runny nose when I’m lying down, peeing all the freaking time.
Check-up next week with my midwife.
I had 2 friends offer to throw me a sprinkle but I declined. I told them to wait for the 3rd baby, especially if it’s a girl.

20 weeks today!
Mango
Got sick again Monday after like three weeks without it. Other than that feeling pretty good.
Had my AS last week, confirmed she's a girl and everything looked good. Next appointment on the 20th.
I don't really want one, we don't need a ton and we already aren't going to have enough room for everything. But my grandmother mentioned this weekend that her and my mom want to throw a shower.... hopefully I can talk them out of it. There isn't really a lot of time with the holidays and I don't think I want to travel the two hours to them after Christmas is over. So we will see.

I am 27w today! Baby is the size of a cucumber I am tired and large. My crotch pain is also at insane levels. It is sometimes hard to walk because of it. I have shortness of breath if I eat sometimes. I have to schedule my GD test after next week. My dr recommends it after 28 weeks. I also scheduled all of the rest of my appointments until delivery. I only have 11 weeks left. 😊 I doubt I will have a sprinkle and definitely not a shower. I had one with G so this isn’t necessary. The only things I want/need are a rnp, diapers, wipes and something to bathe him in. Other than that I should be good. My sisters friend is giving me all of her sons hand me down clothes and I bought some already.

How far along are you? 28 weeks tomorrow
How big is baby? eggplant, I think?
Symptoms/rants/raves: This crotch pain/pressure is more intense than I remember last time. My hips hurt quite a bit but not as bad as last time so I'm trying not to complain. No more seizures since that one day when I was lecturing so that's a positive!
Appointments or milestones? Glucose screening, checkup, and neuro lab work tomorrow so I'll spend the morning at the dr. I"ve been sooo focused on how to "pass" the screening. DH pointed out that it's best to know ASAP if I would have it so we can begin treating it. Voice of reason.
GTKY: Are you having a shower or sprinkle? I don't believe so. My shower was primarily family anyway so I'm sure we will get a few things when he's born but otherwise we really don't need anything special.

How far along are you? 22 weeks How big is baby? A guinea pig Symptoms/rants/raves: I'm starting to get full faster. The part of pregnancy where I'm starving AND can eat a crazy amount seems to be over. Sad for my sugar cravings, good for my weight gain. Appointments or milestones? Doctor's appointment tomorrow, I imagine it will be the usual quick check in, as I don't think anything in particular happens at 22 weeks. GTKY: Are you having a shower or sprinkle? Not that I know of. I had a work shower and a friend/family shower for my last baby fairly recently, so I imagine people aren't planning to spend any more money on us! With a second boy there is very little we need, just a couple "would be nice" items I'd like to do differently this time around, and a double stroller.
