sweetc129 good luck with your gd test today! cp3 good luck at your u/s today! feel free to share any sweet pics if you get them 😉 Rama and katietopaz hope your appointments went well yesterday Thanks! And I definitely will. When I went around this time with DD1 they did a 4D ultrasound so I'm hoping for the same this time. Of course my appt isn't until 4pm so it's going to be a long day impatiently waiting.

nevertoomanyshoes you look great! i feel really big right now too... i keep asking h if i am that much bigger this time around and he keeps assuring me i’m not. i think chasing a toddler around is not helping. Yes this! nevertoomanyshoes I totally feel huge already too. I keep comparing pictures from my pregnancy with DS and I think I am about 2-4 weeks ahead from where my belly was last time. DH tells me I’m crazy but I’m definitely bigger this time around. I’ve heard that’s completely normal though so I’m trying to just go with it.

polson Appointment went well, thanks for asking! Babe is just as uncooperative as usual; OB opted to use the u/s machine versus chase them around with the Doppler after a minute of trying, hahaha. I'm having a weird disconnect between feeling large and unwieldy, but also feeling like I don't look as big as I should. I know most of that's probably in my head and my OBs have never said that I'm growing at a decreased rate or anything, but I've also gained so little weight, it's kinda freakin' me out a little. Hair pats that it's okay I'm not gaining much weight, despite my horrific eating habits?

Thanks. I've been told stress can increase your blood glucose and we had yet another crisis with my mom this morning (she is *thisclose* to being admitted into the hospital because she didn't even know Monday is Christmas) and my phone died and I had no idea what was going on (not battery but phone) right after I drank my drink so I sat there for an hour bawling my eyes out before finding a Verizon store to which I continued to cry until somebody fixed my phone. I'm fully expecting to fail. I feel like such a downer lately. I'm really trying not to be, just life at the moment.

Weeks pregnant: 27
Baby is the size of: a bunch of bananas
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM- 3rd pregnancy
Team: green
Appointments: Saw our midwife on Tuesday and everything is good-mostly. I have suuuuper low iron and I'm supplementing but it needs to go up quite a bit if we want another home birth. We have time though. Also low blood pressure and I have a brutal cold. The baby sounded fine though and is still head down so will probably stay that way.
Symptoms: Pelvic pain like woah and insomnia.
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/Vents: I have one friend that I've drifted apart from and she's being super annoying and asking 1001 intrusive questions.
GTKY: I gave SO a pretty specific list but I don't have high hopes. I really don't want to have to pretend like I like anything. It sounds awful but it's true! I'm looking forward to a quiet Christmas this year though. No pressure to be anywhere or cook anything!

Ugh sweetc129 . I'm so sorry, that's so much to deal with. I hope your mom is okay. Thanks, just got word they are sending her to ER so looks less and less likely she'll be able to make Christmas.
