1) How far along are you?
2) How do you feel/any particular aggravations or exciting activities?
3) If you could win one baby item in a sweepstakes (crib, stroller, year's worth of diapers, etc), what would it be? |

1) I'm 22 weeks, 2 days in! Chipmunchkin is still moving around, though not the high volumes of activity the past few weeks. Reading up on her development, she's starting the "sleeps in 12-14 hour cycles" stage, so I guess she's saving her jumping jacks for in between nap sessions.
2) Feeling pretty good myself, though annoyed that work pants went bye bye. At least part of my maternity clothes (mostly some extra dressy tops for work) showed up this weekend, and mom's putting the other skirts in the mail today.
3)I'd want to win either a year's supply of diapers, or the really really nice diaper bag I have on my registry- darn thing opens up into its own changing pad, and the sides are high enough that it could arguably pass for a bassinet in a pinch. DH would probably want to win a pack n play with all the gadgets.
Dunno if it's just regional to me, but Costco was having a sale on Huggies Brand natural care plus baby wipes. We bought 3 boxes for 60 bucks total, and are now the proud owners of 3,480 wipes.....that will hopefully last us the first year.

1. 34w 2d 2. Tmi I peed on myself at work today. So badly it went through the pad.  3. Daipers and wipes or premixed formula for a year. |

1) How far along are you? 21 weeks tomorrow
2) How do you feel/any particular aggravations or exciting activities? I have a cold so I feel sorry for myself. As if the baseline pregnancy congestion wasn't bad enough, now my nose is a faucet, my eyes are constantly watering, and I have a terrible sinus headache that kept me up all night and Tylenol did nothing for.
3) If you could win one baby item in a sweepstakes (crib, stroller, year's worth of diapers, etc), what would it be? I want someone else to pay for daycare or watch my baby for free...

@daubachsgirl23 - The worst part is I am out of town, so I couldn't wash my pants right away. I did hand wash them in the sink in my hotel, which is better than nothing until I get home. Luckily, I try to pack an extra of everything even if I am out of town for only two nights. I am slowly getting into the stage of I want this baby out of me. I think its still a bit early for this stage and would not do anything to try to induce labor, but that is how I feel. I am not even to the waddling while I walk stage.

I feel crazy today. And want to try pumping to see if it encourages labour. But I'm also scared to in case it sends me into labour lol. But I'm 39 weeks today, so definitely considered full term now. Yesterday it felt like the beginning of labour, but the mild tightness of my ute went away by the time I went to bed. I say do it, but I know the feeling. I am done with being pregnant, but I don't want to go into labor. Now I am bloated, too. My wedding/engagement ring is too tight. I knew it would happen and I am at 34 weeks and grateful it fit upto now. I just wished it waited when I was in town. Does anyone know if Sam's club wipes are any good? H has a free membership (for now) and MIL has a corporate membership card that we can borrow. Plus Sams is only 10 minutes away, where Costco is like 45 minutes away. |

It is SO early, and I know anything could happen, but for today I AM HERE. EEEE! How exciting! I didn't think pregnancy tests worked this early? Or is your doctor doing blood tests? SO Happy for you  No, my blood test isn't until next week. If we consider my egg retrieval my "O" day, I'm 10DPO - 5 days past 5 day transfer. Implantation usually occurs 2-3 days after a 5-day transfer |

Yes! A faint but clear one (ok, three) this morning!! I keep wanting to "like" this over and over, but apparently I am limited to 1 "like". That is not sufficient for me. Yeah, you have to be careful because if you "like" a post an even number of times (for example 2, 4, 6, or 592... times) then it unlikes it. Boo. |

Welcome, LMC! Weird dreams are starting up again, along with further confirmation that my brain is an asshole. Last night's special edition- horrible dream that I'm 8 months pregnant, and DH up and leaves with no reason given, heading back to AZ, not returning calls, messages, etc. (Very much NOT something he would do). Woke up in a panic, and he wasn't in bed. Found him passed out downstairs on the sectional, managed to get him upstairs, but dang, did my brain do a number on me, and I couldn't really sleep after that. |

I have MANY Wondfos. I plan to just keep taking them. The test from today was definitively darker than the one from yesterday, so that was pretty freaking exciting.

chipmunk I recently had a dream that my belly grew so fast that it popped like a balloon. That was disturbing...

I don't think I have ever gotten rid of the odd dreams. I think the sex ones (sorry I cannot remember) have been more often due to H's back pain which has decreased our sex life.

I'm only 11 DPO technically, but my boobs are.. not ok. They feel like they weigh 100 pounds. I'm terrified about what's going to happen to them.

Ok, what's with these cramps I'm having? Started last night and are still bugging me. It feels like really bad gas pain, but no need to pass gas or go to the bathroom at all. Localized under my bump. They come and go, sometimes sharply. I find them highly annoying. Maybe BH, but usually BH are not sharp pains. Constipation? RLP? I would up my water intake and see if that helps. I agree might be BH or constipation. Take note of how long it last, etc. Up your water intake and walk more often during your work day unless you are on your feet then take more breaks. |

Thanks for the tips! When I take off my bra at night, it is terrible. It's like someone tied 200 pound weights to each of my boobs. I slept without a bra last night, and they hurt so bad when I went to get out of bed. But I felt ok after taking a shower. Hopefully it doesn't get too much worse!

Welcome to pregnancy boobs LMC! Mine also felt really heavy, and extra-perky(!) starting early first trimester. They haven't grown much but they're really firm, and I've never ever in my life had firm breasts. Not even when I was 16. It feels so strange. Quick question... I had some bleeding last night, which has now stopped but it still has me worried. I haven't had any bleeding this entire pregnancy and I feel like it's strange that it happened at 21 weeks with no explanation for it whatsoever (no sex, no unusual activity, etc). I think I can feel baby moving fine (but it's still so early I'm never 100% sure about movements), but could you guys please reassure me that I don't need to freak out about this? |
