I'm sorry about the frustrating appointment Leaf 🌱. I don't know if it's over the top, but maybe you can call and ask to talk to the office manager.

DD seems to be feeling a lot better today, so we're going to go to her speech therapy in a little while. After that I have my a/s, where hopefully this little monster will cooperate. I also really need to go shopping, so I hope my appointment doesn't take too long. My band has a concert on Sunday and I don't have a red or a white shirt that fits.

[calendula]

My appointment went well this morning. Less than 15 minutes lol. I have my glucose drink for the next time I go, so that's something fun to look forward to. I've gained 15 pounds so far. Mixed feelings about that. I hope it slows down a bit in the next month.

I'm 24 weeks today! According to the booklet they gave me at the OB, I'm in third trimester already. Seems aggressive but I'll take a happy milestone when I can get one

[cornpop]

calendula, I don't understand why there is such a discrepancy about what weeks make up each trimester. My baby book says week 24 is the last week in the 2nd trimester. But I looked online and it said week 28!

Yeah me neither. I was actually startled when I saw it! I typically thought it was closer to 28 weeks, myself. 

Pregnancy math is stupid.

I've always done 13w is 2nd tri, 26w is 3rd tri, and 39w is term. So, I'm following nothing.

Good morning! I just got home from my buttcrack-of-dawn a/s. It felt fast again, maybe 15 minutes, but she took a ton of pictures so hopefully that just means baby was cooperative. He was moving around a lot! I asked my OB to let me know either way, so she should be calling hopefully today.

The best part was at the end when I got to see the screen. I finally got to see this baby in profile, and he was "eating." You could see super clear swallowing motions and even his tongue, which was funny to me for some reason. It was just really neat to get to see him really looking like a tiny person.

That's so cool katietopaz! It's amazing seeing them doing things like that.

I have an OB appt this afternoon and I know I gained weight. I had lost four in the first tri and only gained back two at last visit but when I weighed at home this morning I was up six pounds from last month. 😮

I know I had a big jump like that with DD1 but my doctor only wanted me to gain 15/20 total. This time of year is so hard because I just want to stay in and be lazy but I need to start going for walks or something at least.

I’m in the same boat. I had about 2 months where I didn’t gain anything, and this last month I gained 5. And I’m only supposed to gain the same as you too so...
But it’s so damn cold out! And yummy food... and...and.

Christmas is gonna be bad.

[woodenshoes]

katietopaz, that is so cool what you saw on the u/s! I can't wait for my next u/s on Tuesday.

Ya I've gained about the same(25 weeks) but it's slowed down the last couple weeks, so I'm not too disgruntled.

And wut to being in third trimester? I refuse. In my head I count from 2 weeks to 42 weeks as the time you actually are pregnant. So 22 weeks is halfway. Ovia says 14 weeks is the 2ND tri and 28 weeks is 3rd. Like no, I am not in third tri yet!?

[alwayscheese]

katietopaz cool about the ultrasound, hope you hear good results, soon 😌

Why now, Idk, but I'm working on designing baby announcements. I typed out Sebastian in 30 different fonts and now it looks like the weirdest word ever cause I've looked at it way too long.

[dizzycooks]

cornpop I’m sick too and it sucks.
leatherpants that’s great news!! Hope you can relax a bit now
My AS is tomorrow and I still have no idea how we want to tell our girls. Or find out ourselves.
I did find out my glucose test is at 24wks? It’s always been 28 in the past, what’s up with that? Oh and 24 weeks is 2 days after Christmas. That won’t be happening tyvm.

My drs say the glucose test is done within a range, typically 24-28w.  So, it's probably not that steadfast of a timeline and I bet you can push it to just after Christmas if you want.

On the other hand, I'm running it close because I'll be 27w just after the holiday, so I'll need to get mine done quick!

Gooooootcha!  I even tried looking it up and couldn't find a suitable answer. XD

[polson]

i refuse to acknowledge that i could be in third tri...nope nope nope. sticking with 28 weeks.

i just locked myself out of the house🙇‍♀️luckily i had just put dd down for nap and it's 45 degrees out. i had to flag down the guy across the street to use his phone. i am such an idiot.

[polson]

i have my gct at 29.5 weeks...2 days after christmas - at least i'll be able to indulge before if i have it? i dunno the timing for a lot of us with this is just horrible

[cp3]

I had my glucose test around 24 or 25 weeks with DD1 because an ultrasound showed high fluid. I'm not sure when this one will be scheduled. I'll be 27 weeks two days after Christmas. I'm torn if I want it done before or not. It will suck if it comes back positive right before Christmas. I would be so sad not being able to eat cookies and fudge.

I'm sticking with 28 weeks yoo. Not ready to be 3rd tri yet.

I'm glad you were able to get back in. Do you have a spare key nearby or did your H have to go let you in? I locked myself and DD out once and Mh was at work 45 minutes away. Luckily my mom lives not far from us and has a key.

[polson]

cp3 spare key will be going somewhere now. the mailman rang the doorbell and left a package, so for some stupid reason i shut the door behind me to get it...no phone, no shoes, no key...i had to ask a construction guy across the street to use his phone. thankfully, my mom was only about 10 minutes away. i just can't believe how much of an airhead i am these days.

[dizzycooks]

polson with my last pregnancy I straight up threw out my entire key ring. Gone. Work keys, car keys, fobs, multiple houses keys...so bad. Trying so hard to pay attention

I have to have mine by Dec 19th, just in time to be diagnosed before Christmas (if I have it again).  UGGGGHHH.  Everyone enjoy your Christmas... I'm jealous!

Maybe I can be sick that week, so I have to postpone... what difference will a week make?!

I’m going to be very inappropriate and say just get it done and then enjoy Christmas as you usually would no matter the result. I do t see any reason why you can’t start the appropriate diet after Christmas if you’d put the test off anyway.
My concern is having raised blood sugars for the test due to holiday eating, not baby.

Cheers ladies. Wish me luck
