When is your due date? How far along are you?
11/25 - I'm 29w2d
How big is baby?
The size of a gallon of milk
Boy/Girl/Surprise?
Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments?
30 week check in next week
Symptoms?
Oh let's see. Nausea, vomiting daily, diarrhea, constipation, hemorrhoids, constant heartburn, lack of appetite, fatigue, emotional AF... being pregnant is so much fun.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
I want this baby to cook until full term, but at the same time, I am SO done being pregnant. My body is just suffering. And it was like this with DD too. Sick daily right up until I delivered. And being pregnant with a toddler is awful. DD is 19 months and constantly wants up. I can't lift 30 lbs so easy anymore... and I actually tore my intercostal muscle lifting her. Which landed me in the ER because they thought I had a pulmonary embolism.
Wow, I guess I'm really bitching today, huh?

I have a third nipple. So does my dad.

When is your due date? How far along are you? 11/29; 28+6 - RCS scheduled for 11/26! How big is baby? Big enough to squish my bladder constantly. Boy/Girl/Surprise? Boy Any Upcoming Appointments? 3 hour glucose test tomorrow Symptoms? Add me to the constantly peeing club. And ever since officially hitting third tri I just feel... big. Like little boy is already taking up so much room in there, and he's still got a little over 10 weeks to grow. Lots of aches and pains with the bigness, sleeping is getting harder, moving in general is getting harder. Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I feel your pain, sapatos. I told H that I'm really ready to not feel enormous, and to be able to drink a glass of wine again. Obviously baby needs to cook a lot longer still, but I'm definitely counting down to being done. Which makes me feel guilty after all we've been through to make him in the first place. GTKY: Tell us something unexpected about yourself! I was born in Germany - my dad got an offer he couldn't refuse from his boss when I was a little over a year old, so that's when we moved to the US. I got my citizenship shortly after I was 18, and I still can (kind of) speak German. We actually had my aunt/uncle visit from Germany over Labor Day weekend, and I said something to them in German, and DS' eyes got so wide, and he was like, "You can speak German, mommy?" So he's impressed by that at least, lol.

GTKY: Tell us something unexpected about yourself! Hnmmm... I met and spoke with Maya Angelou. Such a cool experience. She was cranky and a little high maintenance, but her presence and speech more than made up for it. Annnnd... H and I have been together since we were 17. We’re now 32.

When is your due date? How far along are you? 10/30, 33 weeks How big is baby? Ferret/Loaf of bread Boy/Girl/Surprise? Boy Any Upcoming Appointments? Just had my checkup this morning, nothing exciting. Next one is in 2 weeks, then I go to weekly, yaaaay. Symptoms? Peeing.

When is your due date? How far along are you? Dec. 7, 27+5 How big is baby? Bunch of bananas Boy/Girl/Surprise? Boy Any Upcoming Appointments? Regular OB Friday and MFM Tuesday. FX for placenta movement quijibo and possibly me too! Symptoms? Still horrible sciatica and heartburn. Also, the emotions. My gosh. I said something so mean to my H yesterday for no reason and cried about it the whole day. I asked him if he was mad before bed and he said no because he knows it’s just my hormones. What did I do to deserve him?! Now I’m crying just thinking about how lucky I am to have him. Lol. So. Much. Crying. Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I just hope to start getting more solid answers at my MFM appointment next week. There has been so many different inputs that I’d really like to see some semblance of an actual plan. GTKY: Tell us something unexpected about yourself! I am terrible at this question. All my joints are hyper mobile, but thanks to dance and acro I have had to have 6 surgeries on my right shoulder. I’m documented in a medical journal somewhere because it was/is so unusually bad.

It was weird being all alone.

Came in super handy for board exams, and I can remember pretty much any phone number in our department of therapists. I've been told I freak people out a bit with it though.
