Pregnant Girls:

How many weeks: 27 weeks, some sites put me in 3rd trimester!!

How are you feeling? Good!

Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I feel big. I try to bend down, and my belly gets in the way. I was getting changed and H was like whoa you're huge! Thanks a$$hole! Eliza is getting strong. Holy crap the kicks I'm feeling now. Last night I'm pretty sure she was twerking... Something was sticking out that was bigger than a foot or hand. We had a little talk about no twerking!

Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 36 tomorrow!!!!!! 29 days to go til due date....ahhhhhhhh!!!!!

How are you feeling? My hips are back to killing me and I'm hoping I can get my OB to send me back to physical therapy for a few times in the next month. The way it is now I will not be able to keep my leg up in the foot rests (or have them held) when pushing :-(

Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? New bump pic tomorrow . We have one wall completed in the babies room. We are doing a music / Bon Jovi theme (yes I know I'm crazy!). I'm waiting for one more scan to confirm it's really a boy before I open bedding set, for some reason I'm being super paranoid! For those that aren't Bon Jovi fans "born to be my baby " is one of his songs. The next line in the song is "made to be your man" which want to put on the wall in Hs office :-)

Random story: My aunt had a friend who had 3 boys, and then got pregnant.  The Dr. told her it was a girl.  She had a super girly nursery done up, full wardrobe full of girly clothes, the works.  

As you can probably guess, it was actually another boy.  This was 20 or so years ago so gender predictions aren't what they are today, but that is crazy!!  And that story is the main reason I plan to be on team green some day.

Pregnant Girls:

How many weeks: 16 weeks! (officially 4 months)

How are you feeling? Good, moody, but good.

Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I got to schedule my 20 weeks scan.  Only one month to finding out the sex!  I can't wait, it really bothers me not knowing for sure. 

I took a selfie this morning, forgot to turn the flash off.

@hamslabs1027‌ - if it's a boy... Its usually a boy... Can't deny a penis. If they say girl, it could be hiding. We got a pretty darn good money shot between the legs, so I'm confident in the gender. BUT it's crossed my mind it could be wrong. Nursery and the big stuff are all neutral, for that reason and we would like 2 kids. We are talking about getting a 3d us and I'll see if they can confirm

@goatlady12‌ - Awe look at that Bump!!! Yay!

Truer words...

Anyhow I agree that the likelihood of that happening in today's day and age is very low, so I was half joking about that being the reason for me not knowing the sex.  The truth is that I just really really like surprises, lol.

Just an update on last week's prenatal vitamin post...

I decided to go with the Rainbow Light Prenatal One vitamins. H and I looked at all of the vitamins at Target this weekend, and the Rainbow Light One was the only vitamin to have enough folic acid, iron, and iodine (I don't eat any red meat or use iodinized salt, so I'm probably lacking on iron and iodine). I like that it's just one a day, I didn't want to deal with remembering to take something multiple times a day. I was reading some of the reviews on Amazon , and a lot of people said that the pills smell terrible and are really huge. Um...they smell like vitamins (if that's even a smell?!), and they're barely bigger than a regular multivitamin LOL. (FYI, it's cheaper to order them on Amazon, especially the subscribe and save...I only bought a small bottle from Target to make sure they would be ok, given that I had read the ridiculous reviews)

I also now understand all of the unsolicited advice from random strangers that pregnant ladies get. H and I went to pay for our Target haul, which included the vitamins. The cashier was like OH YOU'RE PREGNANT. I said not yet, we're just getting ready for the future. Then she went on and on about how she hopes it happens for us soon...I just said thank you, but I was thinking ummm not too soon, I'm not planning on going off BC for a year, haha!

Mommies: How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 5 weeks, 3 days How do you feel? Good! He has been sleeping really well. I get a good 5ish hour stretch and then another 2-3 after a feeding. I can't complain. Any Milestones this week? We hit the 5 week wonder week, ugh. It's been rough with lots of fussing. Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I know I've complained about it before, but H's work schedule is killing me. He worked yesterday from 9-3:3 and then again from 11-7 this morning. So, I've basically been on my own since 8 am yesterday morning. I'm hoping it evens out soon.

@snuff9861‌ any baby updates??

islandmonkey8

@Nic12184 - Seriously? If the lady at Target said something like that to me, I'd be pissed. Does she make comments to people buying depends "I'm sorry you're having trouble making it to the bathroom?" - Mind your business people!

When my mom was pregnant with me, the first doctor she went with told her I was a girl. She was so excited because she was just dying for a little girl to dress up and everything. She'd already had my brother, so she thought it was time for a girl. Well, she went a few weeks before I was born to another doctor, the one who would actually deliver, and he told her that he wouldn't bet even a nickel on it that I was a girl. She was so upset! She had everything girly picked out! Luckily I turned out without that penis, but still!! I can't imagine the doctors waffling on boy or girl.

Nic it is strange what sort of reactions you get when you are checking out with pnv or especially pregnancy tests! More often than not I've gotten the "I hope you get what you want."

@goatlady12‌ you are so cute!!! That is the most adorable little bump!

Pregnant ladies:

How many weeks: 5w4d

How are you feeling: tired and crampy but fine. Luckily not really nauseous yet.

Rants/thoughts/bump pics?:
question.....this means I'm IN my 6th week right? A woman asked it on my bmb and I was wondering if I was reading my book wrong. Lol is it an Appleseed or sweet pea?! Why do I feel so stupid/why is this confusing to me?!

brainybrunette

Lesson learned...from now on, I'm buying pnv online, they're cheaper on Amazon anyway. When the time comes, I know that pregnancy tests are cheaper online too. Hooray for the anonymity of Amazon.com LOL!

LDubHawksFan

Oh yeah, I had probably the most awkward encounter last week when I ran to b&n to buy a couple of pregnancy books for myself & DH at lunch. The girl checking me out looked all of 18 yo and she asked if they were for me and I answered softly yes because it's soooo early. She then proceeded to loudly ask me when I'm due and if we are finding out the sex. She did not pick up on the cues I was giving. When I said Feb, she realized HOW early I was. --facepalm-- thank God there was no one I knew in there.....amazon will be my new anything pregnancy related shopping center too.

mpjf1001

@hamslabs1027 the doctor told my parents I was a boy up until the day I was born, back then they did it by the heartbeat, yeah he was surprised when I came out a girl!

@goatlady12 you look super cute!

Mommies:
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 11 months 1 week & 2 days

How do you feel? good, I hate not being able to do more than walk 30-60 min a day and my stitches are itchy and H will not scratch around the area for me bc its on my back and I cant reach, he is so mean, jk!

Any Milestones this week? she has started pulling herself up to her feet and is less afraid to be standing, she used to get all in hysterics if you would place her on her legs and leave her standing by the couch, now she does it all by herself and then she will let go with one hand to grab something she dropped and stand back up; she also can crawl up a step or onto the fireplace hearth; she also was given strawberries for the first time (i had my surgery last tues and my mom was helping me out--she walks in the room with her feeding her a strawberry and i was like oh I've never given her that before--luckily no reaction, its the only berry she hasn't had so I wasn't too worried)

I forgot, she also got her first tooth, it only took 11 months!

Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? nada

Mommies: that's right I'm a mommy!

How old are your LOs (Little Ones)?
5 days!

How do you feel? I'm an absolute wreck.

Any Milestones this week? We still are waiting to go home so maybe that can be a milestone this week.

Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I don't have any on my phone at the moment but here's his birth story and there are some there.

I would HAVE to know if I was having a boy or girl!!!!  Not knowing would drive me nuts.  Plus one of our bedrooms has a large closet so that is slotted for a girl.  If we have a boy first he will get the other room. And if we have a girl first she will get the closet room...If we have 2 boys or 2 girls we will just put the second child in the unused bedroom.

@snuff9861‌ Congrats! He's such a cutie!

Pregnant Girls:

How many weeks: 26 weeks tomorrow!

How are you feeling? Good. I have had some cramping in my butt and the backs of my legs, but nothing major. Still enjoying all of Wren's kicks and flips!

Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I have my glucose test on Thursday morning as well as an ultrasound to check on her legs. I'm praying that all goes well and comes back clear! I'm excited to see her again and I'm probably going to ask for them to check the sex for us once more before we start our registry! Ha ha!

And here's my bump pic from last week

Congrats @Snuff9861!  I hope you're feeling well.  I hope your son can come home soon!!!

Pregnant Girls:

How many weeks:  32 weeks

How are you feeling?  I've had raging heart burn.  I've never had it before pregnancy and it is miserable!  I almost had to leave yoga Saturday morning because of it.  I bought Papaya enzyme and that is helping and works much faster than Tums.  I get tired very easy and this heat is not helping.  I have some slight feet swelling, but nothing terrible.  It goes down once I elevate my feet at least.  I can't wear my rings to work because my fingers are also swelling from the humidity.  They aren't swollen though, I can wear them the rest of the day.

Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics?  On Saturday, H and I went to the store.  We walked out and the passenger door to his car was wide open.  I forgot to close the door, It was wide open.  Luckily, he didn't have anything to take except change and no one touched anything.  He keeps teasing me about it and I feel like an idiot.  I am beginning to feel like I can't function at life.
