1. 28w3d 2. I feel the baby hiccup and it tickles.  I love it. Achy legs suck 3. I am more of the helper in the kitchen, but I do like making this grape dish where the grapes soak in wine, sugar, and lemon zest. I will post one tonight. I cannot post pictures on mobile. |

1. How far along are you? 14w6d
2. How are you feeling? I have a bit of a cold and every time I cough it triggers round ligament pain. It's getting really annoying. Otherwise, I feel great.
3. What is your favorite food to bake/make? Fresh, homemade bread. Mmmmmm, I can bake and eat that stuff by the pound!
Bonus: Bump pictures! Haha - you don't want to see my blump. I promise.

1) 16 weeks, 2 days
2) Feeling good. Had a scare yesterday- I laid down on the bed on my stomach briefly, and had a huge stabbing pain in my low back, left hip, and leg. Thought something was wrong with the baby. Nope, it's my old back injury rearing its ugly head. Grr. So I was very careful last night on how I laid down in bed, took breaks and put my feet up throughout the day, etc.
3) That's a hard one. I really like baking cookies and making fudge, but I'll go with the making fudge, since it involves less cleanup and I can lick the spoon (no eggs! HA!)
No bump pictures from me- my bump is still too small to show below my belly roll.
ETA- I've started checking around at local hospitals for newborn care courses to take before delivery next May. The ones showing up in January, February, and March are all on days and at times where DH has to be at work. While he gets 17 days off per year, he has to earn them, and can't just take a few hours here or there- he has to take off the whole day. Which sucks, because we're saving up those days for when the baby arrives. Womp womp. |

chipmunk - Check your insurance for classes. Some insurance plans offer classes. I was lucky and the hospital network that we have to use has classes at a variety of locations and many have classes on Saturdays. I think I grew more in the boobs than in the belly. This was taken at 28wks 1day. picture deleted.

Should have added in the #2, "how are you feeling", that mentally I'm feeling a little weird. It's nothing wrong with me or the baby, but I'm having a lot of very vivid dreams lately. I'd normally say "eh, no big deal," but the dreams are all focused on one thing- having sex with my DH. Perhaps a side effect of the hormone rush plus the month long ban on intimacy per doctor's orders? Not sure, but dang, with the vividness and details from these dreams, I should write smutty novels- I'd make a shitload of money within a week or so!  |

I've read that vivid dreams and increased sex drive are both very common in second trimester... so I'd say that this is probably totally normal. My DH had a terrible man cold that kept him out of commission for about 2 weeks and I was going bonkers! Maybe we can start a ghostwriting company for erotic novels together. |

I also had "pregnancy brain" where I'd lose my train of thought mid-sentence. That's frustrating. I blame pregnancy brain anytime I have a brain fart. I had some crazy dreams. Ine included snoop dogg, another having sex with superman, and one with justin Timberlake. Also, my sex drive is way higher compared to usual. Thanks everyone on the nice comments on my picture! |

beautiful photo, @sarahufl!
Well, I'm back from the gestational testing. Didn't taste as bad as I thought- fruit punch flavor was like hawaiian punch, and ice cold. I still chugged it so as to not think too much about it. If it comes back as abnormal, another test, only with a 3 hour wait time, boo. At least their office is only open 3 days next week, so it'll be tough to run the test and have me come in right before Christmas, so I've my fingers crossed that a) i don't have a diabetes issue and b) if I do, results won't be in in time to prevent me from enjoying at least a little taste of something yummy for holiday potlucks and Christmas dinner.
Once again, little squirmer was all over the place and kicking. We did remember the disk this time, so I've got images, including a little foot from the latest ninja maneuver. At one point, we could see (roughly) the face, and the baby lifted an arm and waved at us. DH admitted his eyes welled up at seeing his little Chipmunchkin waving "hi", and I got all the feels.

One of my favorite prints I have from an early sono is a tiny little foot. As if it was purposefully pressed into the wall of my uterus. It's just so tiny and adorable. Share pretty please? I only got profile shots from my NT scan. |

I love it.
