Week/fruit/EDD: 35w3d, pineapple, 11/8 (RCS 11/1)
FTM, etc: 3TM
Appointments: Next monday for NST, another growth scan and OB then I start on weekly appointments!
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Pink!
Milestones: Approaching full term in a few weeks!
Symptoms: I'm sick. I have no voice and my throat is killing me. It probably doesn't help things that I'm up constantly all night going to the bathroom. I feel like with my other 2 kids that I was sick with something a few weeks before they were born. I don't have a fever so I keep going back and forth on if I should go to the doctor or not.
Rants: See symptoms.
Raves: None. I am super hormonal lately so cry at the drop of a hat and work is nuts so I'm ready for the baby and to be out of work for 8 weeks. One of my few employees gave me her notice and her last day is 10/25 and another is out on maternity leave until 12/9 so I will most likely have to work some during leave. Also, my company offered people over 55 packages to leave on friday and my boss is going to leave sometime next year. May be good for me if I get his position but will also be way more work and responsibility.
GTKY: Did everyone order a pump yet? Which one did you get? I got the freemie hands free pump this time. I have a medela from my 1st and a spectra 2 from my second (I really like this one). So I decided to try something new this time! I don't produce much so have needed to supplement from the start with both of my kids but maybe this time will be different? I guess we will see!

Week/fruit/EDD: 34+3
FTM, etc: STM
Appointments: today for BPP and NST
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): pink!
Milestones:
Symptoms: exhaustion is my biggest one. Some afternoons/evenings I'm just completely beat.
Rants:
Raves: I have 1 month to go or less! Nov 11th is her eviction date if she hasn't come before then (unless something changes at an appt prior).
GTKY: Did everyone order a pump yet? Which one did you get? Yes! I used Medela with DS and like it well enough, but decided to get the Spectra 1 this time around after hearing great things about it. I also used the Medela hand pump last time, but I also bought the Haakaa this time too to try out.

Week/fruit/EDD: 31+5/Dec 4
FTM, etc: 2nd
Appointments: Tuesday-OB, Thursday-growth scan
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): pink
Milestones:
Symptoms: a few more Braxton hicks here and there
Rants: I'm having trouble with my fasting blood sugar numbers, and I'm sure it's because I've been sleeping like crap for the past few weeks. Everything else is easy and completely controlled but ugh, I'm getting pretty frustrated and my anxiety isn't helping things.
Raves:
GTKY: Did everyone order a pump yet? Which one did you get? Last time I had my a PISA and while it was ok, I wasn't enamored with it. This time I've ordered a Spectra S2 because so many people have raved about it.

Week/fruit/EDD: 31+6, 12/3
FTM, etc: 3rd
Appointments: OB weds, will schedule a growth scan then.
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Pink
Milestones:
Symptoms: not sleeping well, some sinus issues, SPD- some days are better than others at least.
Rants: DS had a fever all weekend, so he’s home from school today (but he’s fever-free and acting normal now) and it’s interfering with some things I wanted to get done. Oh well.
Raves: However, having DS home means I don’t have to walk a mile in the heat to pick him up (or fight to get a parking spot at the school)!
GTKY: Did everyone order a pump yet? Which one did you get?
Nah. I have a barely used medela from DD and honestly probably won’t even use that one much. Plus I’m not sure how long I’ll breastfeed this time, so there’s a chance we’ll go the formula route. Maybe I’ll order one (because free) and then donate it.

Week/fruit/EDD: 27w, 5d EDD Jan 1.
FTM, etc: 4tm
Appointments: The 16th, still need to do sugars test.
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): pink
Milestones:
Symptoms: so many emotions and so many tears
Rants:
Raves: love feeling all the kicks.
GTKY: Did everyone order a pump yet? Which one did you get? I have a Medela I used for the other kids but I kind of want a freemie. Insurance covers nothing so it will be out of pocket. But being able to pump on the go while chasing kids sounds dreamy.

Week/fruit/EDD: 33w5d/butternut squash/Nov 21
FTM, etc: 3tm
Appointments: friday
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): blue
Milestones: first cold front of the year finally came through!
Symptoms: feeling huge, freakin' heart burn
Rants: heart burn sucks
Raves: my H and his sister (pregnant with twins) made up/she stopped being such an idiot...so maybe my baby will get to have two cousins his age after all!
GTKY: Did everyone order a pump yet? Which one did you get?
I have a medela from two babies ago. I am on the fence about ordering another one. I had to pump a lot with D because he was a preemie, but only for the first few months. I tried to pump a little with T so H could give him a bottle and give me a break in the evenings, but he never took it well and we never pushed it. My insurance will cover it, so I guess I should look into the spectra? I did get a hakkaa to catch extra milk in the early days but I'm interested how well it will work as an actual pump. Could be convenient in some situations.
