How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!) 37w1d, RCS scheduled 12/28
Team? Pink!
How big is baby? Tackle box or Romaine Lettuce
Symptoms/rants/raves: I've been having a lot of period like pains and at night am just overall uncomfortable. Still not sleeping much but I guess that won't change before baby. I'm ready for her to be here but at the same time feel like I have so much to do before she is here that I will not feel like doing after.
Appointments or Milestones? Last appointment is next tuesday
GTKY: If you could live anywhere or stay where you are now, which would you pick?
I would love to move up north to the Boston area. The closest of DH and my immediate families are an 8-10 hour drive so it would be nice to be within an hour or two and have some options to see family more often. We are both pretty set where we are career wise so I don't think this would actually happen.

I am 36w today. EDD 1/10 but C section 2 weeks from today!
It’s a boy!
Baby is the size of a large cantaloupe so about 19in and around 6lbs.
I am so tired. The congestion is the worst. I am also tired of stabbing myself 4 times a day but thankfully I am almost done with that. I have had some contractions but nothing substantial.
I am actually at the hospital now to check on baby’s size. I have a regular OB appointment tomorrow.
I love where I live. I am close enough to the city to go when I want but none of the craziness that goes with it. I do wish it didn’t get so cold though.

How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!)
35w1d
Team?
Green
How big is baby?
Kids backpack
Symptoms/rants/raves:
I feel solidly last month pregnant. I was doing pretty good so I guess it’s just time to be here. Sore hips, knees, pelvis, ankles, back. BH becoming more frequent. Lots of peeing.
Appointments or Milestones?
I’m weekly now and had one on Monday. Milestone being im starting to take the weekly prenatal records home to bring to hospital, meaning it’s officially anytime stage!
GTKY: If you could live anywhere or stay where you are now, which would you pick?
I’m very happy where I live. Quiet, happy, supportive small town where I’m totally comfortable raising my kids and am so happy that this is the school they’ll get to go to. Not super close to the city, but close enough it’s usually convenient. All our immediate family lives in a 2 hour radius.

How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!) 35w2d EDD 1/15
Team? Blue
How big is baby? Bunch of carrots
Symptoms/rants/raves: nesting SO MUCH. I’ve also been having contractions off & on for about two weeks.
Appointments or Milestones? I had one on Monday. Baby is head down & sitting low which is encouraging! We talked through my labor preferences & made sure I knew where to go if I go into labor.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere or stay where you are now, which would you pick? I would live somewhere in Minnesota! I love all the seasons & the weather. The only thing I would miss is mountains but the lakes would make up for it!

How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!) 33 weeks!
Team? Girl
How big is baby? honeydew melon/loaf of bread (at our 31 week ultrasound she weight about 4 1/2 pounds)
Symptoms/rants/raves: Sinus drainage overnight causing a sore throat, lots of braxton hicks, getting awkward to move around but mostly I can't complain
Appointments or Milestones? It is amazing how much more active Faith is than Ava was, I know every pregnancy is different but I would have known something was wrong with Ava had she been the second pregnancy. Faith is now reacting when I push on her feet when they feel like they are going to poke through my skin, it is fun to push on them and feel them withdraw.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere or stay where you are now, which would you pick? At the moment I would pick anywhere warm, it is unseasonably cold here in Ohio this week.

30w today!
Team pink 🎀
Cantelope
Next appt Monday
She seems to have moved because my back pain vanished for the most part which is great. Except I was trying to leverage that to start working remotely more often.... Yea..
Live anywhere? I do like where I live but it's frustrating to live near family who don't really help a lot with child care and don't even offer. More so than the actual area I just love living in a convenient place. My house is on 0.4 acres and yet I live within 5min of Target, the mall, a ton of grocery stores, etc. So I like the mix. I wouldn't mind a little more removed though.

How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!) 29 weeks!
Team? Pink!
How big is baby? Cabbage
Symptoms/rants/raves: starting to get uncomfortable and hurt to walk sometimes. I am frustrated with my sugar fasting numbers and am a little scared to go to my appointment Friday and see what the next step is
Appointments or Milestones? Ob Friday
GTKY: If you could live anywhere or stay where you are now, which would you pick?
I don't like the cold, and sometimes traffic sucks but I like living outside of Boston. I like how much there is to do here and how close things are. I get up in rural NH and it would take an hour to get to a mall. Here I have three within 20 minutes.

How far along are you? 35 weeks, Jan 10 c section Team? Blue How big is baby? At least 6 pounds Symptoms/rants/raves: the gestational diabetes diet sucks and I hate pricking my fingers. I'm getting nervous about the due date approaching since we have all of our baby stuff in Houston. H has to pack it up and bring it here. He's being a major slacker about that. Appointments or Milestones? I'm going to the OB weekly and the perinatologist weekly. My OB said 35 weeks is a big milestone because if I had the baby he would most likely not have to go to the NICU and it would be a 'normal' delivery. GTKY: If you could live anywhere or stay where you are now, which would you pick? I just moved! No more moving please!!!  |

How far along are you? DD is one week old (31w1d) Team? Pink How big is baby? 1410g, 30g under birth weight. Symptoms/rants/raves: Appointments or Milestones? DD has upped her oral feeds high enough to get her UV line removed, so she will no longer be getting nutrition pumped in. She is getting donor breastmilk that has been fortified with extra nutrients, and will switch to formula at 34 weeks. Provided that she does well with her CPAP at 5 today/overnight, they will be removing it tomorrow to see how she does. She has been on room air since shortly after birth, but she has not been without any pressure to date. GTKY: If you could live anywhere or stay where you are now, which would you pick? I like where I live, but I also think that living in Europe would be cool. |

30 weeks tomorrow
Team blue
Size of cantaloupe (he was 3 lbs at the ultrasound yesterday)
My pelvis feels like it’s bejng split in half most of the time. He’s super low so I’m peeing all the time which is fun with an hour commute
Had my ob visit yesterday and ultrasound. He looks good, there ok with my sugar levels for now. I go back in 2 weeks.
I’d move to a rural area but closer to more things like museums, arts and culture things.

31 weeks, 2/15
Team?
blue
How big is baby?
A cantelope
Symptoms/rants/raves:
I'm starting to wake up sore all over. Aside from that just the general annoyance of trying to navigate my life while carrying a cantelope in my abdomen.
Appointments or Milestones?
I had an appointment today. Apparently my fundal measurement is still way ahead, 36 weeks instead of 31, which makes me nervous even though I've had the ultrasound and I know it probably means nothing. Bleh. I also had to see a different doctor than my usual one for the second appointment in a row. The woman I saw today was fine, perfectly nice, but I prefer the one I usually see. I won't see her next time either because she will be on vacation. I guess I shouldn't be picky, I don't get to choose who delivers anyway and I'm almost there!
GTKY: If you could live anywhere or stay where you are now, which would you pick?
At this point in my life? I'd stay where I am. I'm near my sizable family and I get tons of support from them with DS and just generally they are a lot of my social life. Since my DH works nights and I work days, that's really important to me at the moment.
At a later point in my life, I'd like to live abroad again or try someplace new in the US. My parents lived in London for awhile and I'd jump at the chance to do that, I really miss visiting them there.

GIrl!
butternut squash
By the evening, going from sitting to standing is a painful process. But things are generally fine.
Appointment next week. Baby was head down last week, so that's exciting. Hope she stays that way!
GTKY: I would stay where we are. We just moved here (the town we both grew up in) a year and a half ago, after having lived in many different cities along the east coast (and other countries). I'm so much happier here, where we have four seasons, we're close to family, we have a yard with trees on a quiet street, but are an easy drive into the city. After moving 10 times in 10 years, I don't plan to move again until we're old and want to downsize.

How far along are you? EDD? 34+1, Jan 23
Team? Pink
How big is baby? Butternut squash
Symptoms/rants/raves: BH all the time. I wake up with terribly sore hips. HEARTBURN sis out of control holy moly. My vision is so much better. It’s pretty much gone most of the time, with an occasional “episode” that lasts for a few minutes to an hour. It’s so strange 🤷🏼♀️
Appointments or Milestones? This Friday... they called me to tell me that my regular dr is out of the office and they rescheduled me with a dr who i really do not care for 😑 but oh well. It’s just a regular apt and I don’t have any major concerns so whatever.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere or stay where you are now, which would you pick? I dream of living somewhere warmer. I love having all the seasons in MA but the winter is just sooooo damn long. I love living near all our family though. They’re all so helpful and supportive and very involved and it would kill me moving away from them. Also, alligators and freaky insects. DNW.

My sister has lived in Australia for a few years (she’s moving back soon). Sometimes I get jealous of how great Sydney seems, and then I remember the bug situation. Last time we FaceTimed she showed me the huntsman spider that has taken up residence right outside their front door, and told me about another one that is living under their fridge. Jealousy dead. I recommend NOT googling huntsman spider if you don’t know what one is. |

I'll fill this out tomorrow but where abouts in MN would you be interested in dragonflyinn? I live in SD and really the only place in MN I'd choose is northern MN. It is beautiful basically year round there. Never heard of someone wanting to go to MN so was just curious. |

I went to college in the twin cities & have family in southern MN & when I was a kid my grandparents lived in northern MN about an hour from Canada. I probably wouldn’t want to live in the cities but maybe an hour or two out. I love my cousins hometown which is an hr south. I know if you get too far south (and west I think?) it gets smelly & gross lol. |

I’d hate being around so many deadly scary creepy crawlies of all different kinds. My sister moved to FL a couple years ago and is always complaining about the weird bugs, especially the red fire ants and the bites she’s always getting from them every time she sits by the pool |

How far along are you? EDD? 37 weeks today - Jan 4
Team? Blue!
How big is baby? Umm... good question
Symptoms/rants/raves: Pelvic pain is out of control but I'm just used to it at this point.
Appointments or Milestones? Check up this morning and sounds like babe could be here any day. 3 cm dilated, 50% effaced, station -2
GTKY: If you could live anywhere or stay where you are now, which would you pick? We are so close to family here so it's not bad but if the distance from family wasn't a concern I'd love to live in northern MN or in the Black Hills. I used to say Niagara Falls but I had a falling out with a good friend there and it would just be awkward haha

How big is baby? Mini lop rabbit
Symptoms/rants/raves: just really sore. The baby must be dropping bc it feels like I’m getting stabbed in the lower pelvis. DS never dropped so this is new!
Appointments or Milestones? Next appointment is on Monday.
GTKY: If you could live anywhere or stay where you are now, which would you pick?
That’s a good question! I really love where we live in Florida. We can go to Disney where ever we want to head to the beach. As a realistic place to live, it would be here. For a dream place, probably Dublin.
